1 | \section{Preparing for Rockbox} | 1 | \subsection{Installing the bootloader} |
2 | There are two separate components of Rockbox that need to be installed in order | 2 | Installing the bootloader is the trickiest part of the installation. |
3 | to run Rockbox. | 3 | The Rockbox bootloader allows users to boot into either the Rockbox |
4 | firmware or the iriver firmware. For legal reasons, we cannot distribute | ||
5 | the bootloader. Instead, we have developed a program that will patch the | ||
6 | Iriver firmware with the Rockbox bootloader. These instructions will explain | ||
7 | how to download and patch the Iriver firmware with the Rockbox bootloader | ||
8 | and install it on your jukebox. | ||
9 | |||
4 | \begin{enumerate} | 10 | \begin{enumerate} |
5 | \item The Rockbox bootloader. This is the component of Rockbox that is installed | 11 | \item Download a supported version of the Iriver firmware for your \playername\ from |
6 | to the flash memory of your \playerman. The bootloader is the program that tells | 12 | the Iriver website or from |
7 | your \dap\ how to boot and load other components of Rockbox. | 13 | \url{http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ManualRockboxInstall}. |
8 | \item The Rockbox firmware. Unlike the \playerman\ firmware, which runs entirely | 14 | Supported Iriver firmware versions currently include |
9 | from flash memory, most of the Rockbox code is contained in the build that | 15 | \opt{IRIVER_H100_PAD}{1.63US, 1.63EU, 1.63K, 1.65US, 1.65EU, 1.65K, 1.66US, 1.66EU |
10 | resides on your jukebox's hard drive. This makes it easy to update Rockbox. The | 16 | and 1.66K. Note that the H140 uses the same firmware as the H120; H120 and H140 owners should use the |
11 | build contain a file named \firmwarefilename\ and a directory called | 17 | firmware called \fname{ihp\_120.hex}. Likewise, the iHP110 and iHP115 use the same |
12 | \fname{.rockbox} which are located in the root directory of your hard drive. | 18 | firmware, called \fname{ihp\_100.hex}. Be sure to use the correct firmware file |
13 | \end{enumerate} | 19 | for your player. |
20 | } | ||
21 | \opt{IRIVER_H300_PAD}{1.28K, 1.28EU, 1.28J, 1.29K, 1.29J and 1.30EU.\\ | ||
22 | \note{The US H3xx firmware is not currently supported and cannot be patched to be | ||
23 | used with the bootloader. If you wish to install Rockbox on a US \playername\, you | ||
24 | must use an international firmware, which will permanently remove DRM support from | ||
25 | the player.} | ||
26 | } | ||
27 | If the file that you downloaded is a \fname{.zip} file, use an unzip | ||
28 | utility such as \fname{InfoZip}, \fname{7zip}, \fname{WinRAR}, or | ||
29 | \fname{WinZip} to extract the \fname{.hex} from the \fname{.zip} file | ||
30 | to your desktop. Likewise, if the file that you downloaded is an | ||
31 | \fname{.exe} file, double-click on the \fname{.exe} file to extract | ||
32 | the \fname{.hex} file to your desktop. | ||
33 | |||
34 | \item Download the firmware patcher \fname{fwpatcher.exe} from the site | ||
35 | listed in the prior step and save it to your desktop. | ||
36 | |||
37 | \warn{The firmware patcher contains Unicode support, which is not supported by | ||
38 | all versions of Windows. If you have difficulty with the firmware patcher, try | ||
39 | downloading the alternate firmware patcher \fname{fwpatchernu.exe}, which is | ||
40 | built without Unicode support.} | ||
41 | |||
42 | \item Go to your desktop and double-click on whichever version of the firmware | ||
43 | patcher you downloaded in the prior step. | ||
44 | |||
45 | \item In the firmware patcher dialog box, click on the BROWSE button and navigate | ||
46 | to the \fname{.hex} file that you previously downloaded to your desktop. | ||
47 | |||
48 | \item Click PATCH. The firmware patcher will patch the original firmware to | ||
49 | include the Rockbox bootloader. The \fname{.hex} file on your desktop is now | ||
50 | a modified version of the original \fname{.hex} file. | ||
51 | |||
52 | \item Turn on your \playername\ and connect it to your computer via USB. | ||
53 | |||
54 | \item Copy or move the modified \fname{.hex} file to the ROOT directory of | ||
55 | your jukebox. | ||
56 | |||
57 | \item Disconnect the jukebox from USB. (Be sure to use Windows' ``safely remove | ||
58 | hardware'' option.) | ||
59 | |||
60 | \warn{Before proceeding further, make sure that your player has a full charge, | ||
61 | or that it is connected to the power adaptor.} | ||
62 | |||
63 | \item Update your \playername s firmware with the patched bootloader. To do this, turn | ||
64 | the jukebox on. Press and hold the | ||
65 | \opt{IRIVER_H100_PAD}{\ButtonSelect\ button } | ||
66 | \opt{IRIVER_H300_PAD}{\ButtonSelect button } | ||
67 | to enter the main menu, and navigate to \setting{General} --> \setting{Firmware | ||
68 | Upgrade}. Select \setting{Yes} when asked to confirm if you want to upgrade the | ||
69 | firmware. The \playername\ will display a message indicating that the firmware update | ||
70 | is in progress. Do not interrupt this process. When the firmware update is | ||
71 | complete, the player will turn itself off. (The update firmware process usually | ||
72 | takes a minute or so.) | ||
73 | |||
74 | You have now installed the Rockbox bootloader. | ||
75 | |||
76 | \opt{H1xx}{\note{If you install the Rockbox bootloader, but do not install the | ||
77 | Rockbox firmware, the Rockbox bootloader will load the iriver firmware when the | ||
78 | jukebox is turned on.}} | ||
