1 | This player's firmware is based on a Linux platform called HibyOS. Rockbox | ||
2 | runs as an application, replacing the stock \emph{Hibyplayer} application. | ||
3 | |||
4 | In order to install Rockbox's bootloader, you will need a copy of the | ||
5 | original player firmware. This can be downloaded from the manufacturer's | ||
6 | web site. The following stock firmware versions are currently supported: | ||
7 | |||
8 | \begin{itemize} | ||
9 | \opt{agptekrocker}{ | ||
10 | \item 20171101 | ||
11 | } | ||
12 | \end{itemize} | ||
13 | |||
14 | After downloading the firmware, you will need to download the corresponding | ||
15 | binary patch file (\fname{.bsdiff}) for the firmware version in question, from | ||
16 | the following location: | ||
17 | |||
18 | \begin{itemize} | ||
19 | \opt{agptekrocker}{ | ||
20 | \item \download{bootloader/agptek} | ||
21 | } | ||
22 | \end{itemize} | ||
23 | |||
24 | Using the \emph{bspatch} utility, apply the binary patch to the original bootloader, with an output file \fname{update.upt}. Place this file into the top-level directory of an SD card. | ||
25 | |||
26 | Insert the SD card into the player, turn it on, and navigate the to the \emph{tools} menu, and select \emph{update firmware}. The device will restart to perform the update, then restart again, after which it will display the Rockbox bootloader menu. | ||
