66 | \item[Current limitations.] Most Rockbox functions are usable on the | ||
67 | \playertype{}/\playertype{}+, including music playback and most plugins, but | ||
68 | there are a number of shortcomings that prevent it from being a fully | ||
69 | supported target: | ||
70 | \begin{itemize} | ||
71 | \item An SD card is required to use many features, since the internal | ||
72 | flash memory is read-only in Rockbox. | ||
73 | \warn{The SD driver is still in development and may contain bugs. | ||
74 | There have been reports of SD cards becoming unusable after being used | ||
75 | with Rockbox on \playerman{} \playertype{}. Only use old, low-capacity | ||
76 | cards until we are satisfied the driver is safe to use.\\} | ||
77 | \item There is only basic touchscreen support. Further work is | ||
78 | required to make the UI more usable with a touchscreen in general. | ||
79 | \note{The touchscreen can be used in two modes, either a 3x3 grid mode | ||
80 | which divides the screen into areas to emulate a set of physical | ||
81 | buttons (the default setting), or ``absolute point'' mode where the | ||
82 | touchscreen is used to point to items on the screen.\\} | ||
