In order to install Rockbox onto the \dap{}, we need to first install the bootloader
|
|
onto the device's internal memory. The bootloader is the only modification to the device
|
|
we will make - Rockbox itself will exist only on the SD card.
|
|
|
|
Once the bootloader is installed onto the device, it is exceedingly rare to need to change it.
|
|
Updating Rockbox is as simple as overwriting it on the SD card and rebooting the device.
|
|
|
|
We will install the bootloader with the original firmware's recovery
|
|
mode. Please follow the instructions detailed below.
|
|
% mode. The process is summed up by the following:
|
|
|
|
% \begin{enumerate}
|
|
% \item Determine what hardware version your player is and download
|
|
% the correct bootloader update file
|
|
% \item Place the bootloader \fname{update.upt} file on the SD card
|
|
% \item In the original firmware, run the Firmware Update: \\
|
|
% \fname{System Settings --> Firmware Update}
|
|
% \end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
% \textbf{These steps, in detail, are:}
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item \textbf{Determine hardware version}
|
|
|
|
Determine what hardware version your player is. Go to \fname{System Settings --> About The Player --> Version} and reference
|
|
the list below. hw1, hw1.5, and hw2 players all use the same update
|
|
file (with one exception), while hw3 players and hw4 players each use a different one.
|
|
|
|
\note{Important: If your player's version is not contained in this list,
|
|
for example if the firmware version is newer than what is listed here,
|
|
we cannot be sure that the hardware is the same. The best thing to do is
|
|
contact the manufacturer and ask them two things: (1) for an update file
|
|
of your version, and (2) if a player with the most recent version listed
|
|
here can be upgraded to the firmware version on your player. If they say
|
|
yes, we can be more certain that the hardware has not changed. These lists
|
|
may not be the most up to date, please see the wiki page at
|
|
\url{https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/AIGOErosQK} for the most up-to-date list.}

% \subsubsection{Format the SD card with the stock firmware}\label{ref:format_sd_card}
|
|
% This is a convenient time to format the SD card. We need to ensure the SD card is formatted
|
|
% as FAT - most cards come from the factory with exFAT on them. The stock firmware can be used to do this.
|
|
% Back up any file you do not want to lose and go to \fname{System Settings --> Reset --> Format TF Card}
|
|
% in the stock firmware. Once done, you can put your files back on the SD card.
|
|
|
|
% \note{Remember, this must also be done if you acquire a new SD card in the future!}
|
|
|
|
\item \textbf{Place update file on SD card}
|
|
|
|
Place the appropriate bootloader file on the root of the SD card and name it
|
|
\emph{exactly} \fname{update.upt}.
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to safely eject/unmount your player.
|
|
|
|
\item \textbf{Run Firmware Update}
|
|
|
|
In the original firmware, run the firmware updater by going to
|
|
\fname{System Settings --> Firmware Update}. The player will reboot into the updater and self-install
|
|
the bootloader.
|
|
|
|
If you have not installed the Rockbox build onto the SD card yet, it will reboot and fail
|
|
to find Rockbox. We simply then need to install Rockbox onto the SD card. Please continue to
|
|
section \ref{sec:installing_firmware}, \textit{Installing the Firmware}.
|
|
|
|
Once the bootloader is installed onto the device, \fname{update.upt} can be deleted from the SD card if you wish.
|
|
\end{enumerate}
