Installing the bootloader is only needed once. It simply requires you
|
|
to replace a file on your \dap{} with the Rockbox bootloader. To be able
|
|
booting the original firmware please make sure to rename the original file
|
|
properly. If you ever wish to uninstall Rockbox you should keep a backup copy
|
|
of the original file.
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Download the Rockbox bootloader from
|
|
\url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/gigabeat/}
|
|
\item Starting at the root folder of your player browse into the folder
|
|
\fname{GBSYSTEM} and from that into the subfolder \fname{FWIMG}.
|
|
These folders are hidden. Make sure that you have configured your browser
|
|
to show hidden files or you may be unable to see \fname{FWIMG}.
|
|
\item In that folder you'll find a file called \fname{FWIMG01.DAT}. This too
|
|
may be hidden. Rename the file to \fname{FWIMG01.DAT.ORIG}. Make sure you
|
|
spelled that name correctly as it is needed for booting the \playerman{} firmware.
|
|
\item Now copy the file \fname{FWIMG01.DAT} you downloaded to that folder.
|
|
Make sure the spelling is correct.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\warn{After installing the bootloader you \emph{need} to power-cycle the
|
|
\dap{} by doing the following steps. Failure to do so may result in problems.}
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Eject / unmount USB drive and unplug the USB cable.
|
|
\item Unplug any power adapter.
|
|
\item Hold the \ButtonPower{} button to turn off the \dap{}.
|
|
\item Slide the battery switch located on the bottom of the \dap{} from
|
|
`on' to `off'
|
|
\item Slide the battery switch back from `off' to `on'
|
|
\end{itemize}
