Installing the bootloader is the trickiest part of the installation.
As explained above, we cannot distribute the bootloader directly, and
thus need to patch a compatible version of the MPIO firmware, which
can be downloaded as described above.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Download official Rockbox bootloader for MPIO HD200 from
\url {http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/mpio/hd200}
and save it to your desktop. The archive contains three files: bootloader.mpio,
bootloader.map and rockbox-info.txt. The first file is actual bootloader, two
others can be used for debugging and are irrelevant for end user.
\item Download mkmpioboot utility from \url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/mpio/mkmpioboot}
\item Process previously downloaded official firmware to include rockbox bootloader.
Open terminal window and type the following command:
\begin{code}
mkmpioboot HD200_UPG.SYS bootloader.mpio HD200_UPG.rb
\end{code}
\item Copy \fname{HD200\_UPG.rb} to the SYSTEM folder of your \dap{} and rename back to
\fname{HD200\_UPG.SYS}
\item Safe eject your \dap{}
\item Connect Wall charger and turn on the device. This should trigger firmware
upgrade process which will install rockbox bootloader to the flash memory of the
player.
\end{enumerate}
