@ -192,19 +192,21 @@ The second image is the working copy, the "rockbox_flash.rock" plugin from this
package reprograms it. I suggest to place the plugin to where you keep the
others, "/.rockbox/rocks/". The plugin needs to be consistant with the Rockbox
plugin API version, otherwise it will detect mismatch and won't run.

It currently requires an exotic input, a UCL-compressed image, because that's
my internal format. UCL is a nice open-source compression library I found and
use. The decompression is very fast and less than a page of C-code. The
efficiency is even better than Zip with maximum compression, cooks it down to
about 58% of the original size. For details on UCL, see:

Linux users will have to download it from there and compile it, for Win32 and
Cygwin I can do that, so the executables are in the package. The sample program
from that download is called "uclpack". We'll use that to compress
"rockbox.bin" which is the result of the compilation. If flashing becomes very
popular, this could be a part of the build process.

Don't flash any "old" builds which don't have the latest coldstart ability I
brought into cvs these days. They won't boot. These instructions refer to
