\fixme{This is merely a copy of the wiki page IaudioBoot, so this section needs
|
|
a more natural language and also error checking by Iaudio owners.}
|
|
|
|
The \playerman{} \playername{} has a builtin boot loader which performs the
|
|
firmware update, and can also access the hard drive via USB. Therefore the
|
|
Rockbox bootloader can be very minimalistic, without USB mode.
|
|
This also makes it less dangerous to install the Rockbox bootloader, as you can
|
|
always restore it using the iAudio bootloader.
|
|
|
|
\note{The current bootloader is not prepared to coexist with the original
|
|
firmware. It replaces the original firmware. Therefore it is only useful to
|
|
developers at this point.}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Installation}
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Download the bootloader binary from
|
|
\url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/iaudio/}. Use \fname{x5v\_fw.bin}
|
|
file if your \dap{} is a X5V. If it is a X5, use the \fname{x5\_fw.bin} file.
|
|
\item Copy it to the \fname{FIRMWARE} directory on your X5.
|
|
\item Turn the X5 off, remove the USB cable and insert the charger. The X5 will
|
|
automatically upgrade the flash with the Rockbox bootloader.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Restoring the original firmware}
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Download the original X5 firmware from the iAudio web site.
|
|
\item Copy it to the \fname{FIRMWARE} directory on your X5
|
|
\item Turn the X5 off, remove the USB cable and insert the charger. The X5 will
|
|
automatically upgrade the flash with the original firmware.
|
|
\end{itemize}
