Marcin Bukat c453f4fa8f rk27xx: name the NAND's FTL scheme in each target's config
CONFIG_RK27XX_FTL selects the FTL a target's NAND uses,
RK27XX_FTL_SCHEME_A or RK27XX_FTL_SCHEME_B. rk27generic and the YP-CP3
are Scheme A, the HM-60x Scheme B. ftl-rk27xx.c mounts the one named;
for Scheme B it maps the drives onto the volumes ID block 1 records:
the system disk from LBA 0, the user volume after the system data
area.

The other rk27xx targets with NAND - HM-801, MA8, MA8C, MA9, MA9C and
iHiFi 760, 770, 770C, 800, 960 - have no confirmed scheme. They drop
the NAND from storage and build only the FTL scheme finder, so users
can report what their device holds and the scheme can then be set.

Only Scheme A flushes at shutdown: Scheme B holds nothing in RAM.

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
