Fork of rockbox tailored for ipod classic

We checked if the new firmware block (bootloader+ucl function+packed bootloader & OF) fit in the OF file, but not if it would run properly. For example the Clipv2 OF is bigger than 0x50000 bytes uncompressed, but it fitted in this space when packed and concatenated to a packed bootloader + ucl function and dualboot code (but we use 1MB of RAM and not 0x50000 anyway). Now we check that both bootloader and OF are small enough to be unpacked at runtime: the unpacked data must be smaller than available memory and not overlap with ucl function and packed data (although the unpacked and packed data could probably overlap a bit, I don't know how to calculate this and this could be quite complex). total_size() is replaced by check_sizes() which will perform all the checks and set an error string if the firmware can't be patched. (both mkamsboot and rbutilqt modified accordingly) The second problem is that dualboot.S assumed r3 and r5 were left untouched in the device specific checks. This was undocumented and very error prone when modifying these checks. r3 is the last byte of packed copy (bootloader or OF) r5 is the entry point of uclunpack function derived from r3, so move r5 calculation after the device specific code. Even if r3 is currently unused in the device specific code, we store it in memory after copying the ucl function, when it points to the last byte of packed data (not yet copied at this point since we didn't chose if we boot the OF or the bootloader), and restore it just before using it so no restriction is placed on registers usage in device specific code. Add a new variable ucl_dest in dualboot.S set by mkamsboot.c, which represents the last bound of buffer where we copy the ucl function, and then the packed data (bootloader or OF). RAM_SIZE definition is moved from dualboot.S to mkamsboot.c new model_memory_size(), where it is a bit better documented. Tested on e200v2 and Clip+ git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@24772 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657 |

Build Your Own Rockbox
1. Check out 'rockbox' from SVN (or extract a downloaded archive).
$ svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox
or
$ tar xjf rockbox.tar.bz2
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
3. Make sure you have sh/arm/m68k-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. Your gcc cross compiler needs to be
a particular version depending on what player you are compiling for. These
can be acquired with the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
source, or will have been included if you've installed one of the
toolchains or development environments provided at http://www.rockbox.org/
$ which sh-elf-gcc
$ which perl
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. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.
$ make
$ make zip
7. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
*smile*.
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
