Björn Stenberg fc246a63a5 Added patch list git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@4122 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657		2003-12-09 09:17:54 +00:00
apps	Don't write playlist shuffle settings immediately to disk. Instead, save them in global settings and only flush to disk when the playlist is modified \(e.g. insert,delete\). As part of the changes the resume index was changed from an int to a short to give an extra 2 bytes in RTC ram to be used for another playlist index.	2003-12-09 08:18:03 +00:00
CVSROOT	Added flash module	2003-11-29 12:36:17 +00:00
docs	Various updates	2003-12-05 09:19:20 +00:00
firmware	In simulator thread, increment id3 offset along with elapsed time so that resume settings are periodically updated.	2003-12-09 08:15:22 +00:00
flash	No more spinning disk while charging flashed FM+V2 (you need the new bootloader to utilize it). ToDo: remove now false voltage reading from charging screen.	2003-12-03 01:03:54 +00:00
gdb	Port A inits for cold-start capability	2003-06-29 21:57:20 +00:00
tools	Removed the prompting for demos and games. They're plugins now anyway.	2003-11-26 14:10:21 +00:00
uisimulator	my take at fixing the simulator warnings by adding mode_t, size_t, ssize_t	2003-12-08 21:58:38 +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@cvs.rockbox.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/rockbox login 
   $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.rockbox.sourceforge.net:/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
