1\fixme{To do: Complete this section for Iaudio platforms.} \ No newline at end of file 1\fixme{This is merely a copy of the wiki page IaudioBoot, so this section needs
2a more natural language and also error checking by Iaudio owners.}

4The \playerman{} \playername{} has a builtin boot loader which performs the
5firmware update, and can also access the hard drive via USB. Therefore the
6Rockbox bootloader can be very minimalistic, without USB mode.
7This also makes it less dangerous to install the Rockbox bootloader, as you can
8always restore it using the iAudio bootloader.
9
10\note{The current bootloader is not prepared to coexist with the original
11firmware. It replaces the original firmware. Therefore it is only useful to
12developers at this point.}

14\subsubsection{Installation}
15\begin{itemize}
16\item Download the bootloader binary from
17\url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/iaudio/}. Use \fname{x5v\_fw.bin}
18file if your \dap{} is a X5V. If it is a X5, use the \fname{x5\_fw.bin} file.
19\item Copy it to the \fname{FIRMWARE} directory on your X5.
20\item Turn the X5 off, remove the USB cable and insert the charger. The X5 will
21automatically upgrade the flash with the Rockbox bootloader.
22\end{itemize}
23
24\subsubsection{Restoring the original firmware}
25\begin{itemize}
26\item Download the original X5 firmware from the iAudio web site.
27\item Copy it to the \fname{FIRMWARE} directory on your X5
28\item Turn the X5 off, remove the USB cable and insert the charger. The X5 will
29automatically upgrade the flash with the original firmware.
30\end{itemize}
