apps Give the radio screen setting(s) in the themes menu its own language strings so they don't simply reuse 'FM Radio' as in the main menu. Rename 'Remote FM Radio' which went along with it accordingly. Distinct strings to avoid cunfusion but the change needs translators' attention. 2010-05-26 05:43:59 +00:00

bootloader Fix gigabeat S includes so it builds again 2010-05-06 22:13:54 +00:00

firmware Gigabeat S: Turn off hardware effects (tone and 3d) when doing digital loopback for FM recording otherwise the signal and levels are poorly represented in monitoring (can't just do ADC->DAC for general FM and get voice too). Some tweaking to input setup to improve gain a tiny bit. A little bit quieter startup too. 2010-05-26 05:13:45 +00:00
flash Simplify powermgmt thread loops so it calls functions turn (no more power_thread_sleep). Do other target-friendly simplifications, generic battery switch handling and split sim-specific code. Whoever can, please verify charging on the Archos Recorder (due to change in the charger duty cycle code). 2008-12-24 16:58:41 +00:00

Build Your Own Rockbox

1. Check out 'rockbox' from SVN (or extract a downloaded archive).

   $ svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox

     or

   $ tar xjf rockbox.tar.bz2

2. Create a build directory, preferably in the same directory as the firmware/
   and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be written.

   $ cd rockbox
   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build

3. Make sure you have sh/arm/m68k-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
   that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. Your gcc cross compiler needs to be
   a particular version depending on what player you are compiling for. These
   can be acquired with the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
   source, or will have been included if you've installed one of the
   toolchains or development environments provided at http://www.rockbox.org/

   $ which sh-elf-gcc
   $ which perl

4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what
   target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not (and a
   few more questions). It'll prompt you. The debug version is for making a
   gdb version out of it. It is only useful if you run gdb towards your target
   Archos.

   $ ../tools/configure

5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you.

6. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
   directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.

   $ make
   $ make zip

7. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
   *smile*.

If you want to build for more than one target, just create several build
directories and create a setup for each target:

   $ mkdir build-fmrecorder
   $ cd build-fmrecorder
   $ ../tools/configure

   $ mkdir build-player
   $ cd build-player
   $ ../tools/configure
