Early 6th gen ipods (80GB and 160GB "fat") are limited to LBA28 which results in a hard upper limit of 128GiB on the storage size. The later 120GB model also shares this limitation. These are identified by HwVr of 0x00130000 and 0x00130100, respectively. The final revision of the iPod Classic series (160GB "thin") does not have this limitation, and can be identified by a HwVr of 0x00130200 or 0x00130300. This is strictly an issue with Apple's stock firmware, and not the hardware, and Rockbox will happily utilize the full capabiltiies of any installed storage device. Unfortunately, if you boot into the stock Apple firmware, said firmware will destructively trash the partition table and filesystem. Consequently, the Rockbox bootloader will now check if the installed drive requires LBA48, making sure the flashed firmware also supports LBA48. If not, we will disallow booting into the OF (including disk mode) altogether. This check can be overridden by holding down LEFT, at which point you get to keep all the pieces. Note: While Apple never released firmware without these limitaitons on the older models, there is a way to update to update these to the newer firmware. This requires altering the stored HwVr, so it is safe to use the HwVr as a proxy for the installe firmware capabilities. Change-Id: Icdd5754f2a3d38c6de67fc7565fabc7aa20f19b3 |

Build Your Own Rockbox
1. Clone 'rockbox' from git (or extract a downloaded archive).
$ git clone git://git.rockbox.org/rockbox
or
$ tar xJf rockbox.tar.xz
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 mips/m68k/arm-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 generated using the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
source.
$ which arm-elf-eabi-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-fuzeplus
$ cd build-fuzeplus
$ ../tools/configure
$ mkdir build-xduoox3
$ cd build-xduoox3
$ ../tools/configure
