Peter D'Hoye e10a0f0381 Printing text right before clearing the display is not a very wise thing to do. Recursive dir scanning will now show the scanning message on top.

bootloader Coldfire targets: Got the rest of the coldfire code out of backlight.c. Straightened up related items in configs and split backlight_set_brightness between the normal and boot/sim builds like the other functions. Should really have done all that in the first place. 2006-11-10 18:47:41 +00:00

docs File and (recursive) directories properties in the file browser context menu. Uses dircache if possible (plugin api expanded). Is actually implemented as plugin. Small parts taken from earlier work by Will Robertson. 2006-11-30 22:29:48 +00:00
firmware PCM: A few tiny changes. 1) Recording a) Flush all pending files if filename queue is full or else perpetual flushing of 1 will occur at low bitrates and short split times. b) #ifdef out currently unused bits and save little less than 1/2K 2) Cleanup some declarations. 2006-11-29 14:23:24 +00:00

Build Your Own Rockbox

1. Check out 'rockbox' from CVS (or extract a downloaded archive). You
   want to check out 'rockbox-devel' instead if you want the simulator
   code too (for trying out things on host before making target tests).

   (For more information about the simulator, read UISIMULATOR.)

   $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@www.rockbox.org:/cvsroot/rockbox login 
   $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@www.rockbox.org:/cvsroot/rockbox co rockbox

     or

   $ tar xzf rockbox.tar.gz

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

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. Make sure you have sh-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure that you
   have 'perl' in your PATH too.

   $ which sh-elf-gcc
   $ which perl

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

   $ make

8. Copy the archos.mod or ajbrec.ajz file to your archos, reboot it and
   *smile*.  Recent Rockbox versions need no reboots, just PLAY a new rockbox
   version and that'll be loaded and replace the currently running version.

   $ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/archos
   $ cp ajbrec.ajz /mnt/archos
   $ umount /mnt/archos

Whenever the tools/configure script gets updated, you can make your makefile
updated too by running 'tools/configure update'.

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
