-\fixme{To do:  Complete this section for Iaudio platforms.}
\ No newline at end of file
+\fixme{This is merely a copy of the wiki page IaudioBoot, so this section needs
+a more natural language and also error checking by Iaudio owners.}
+
+The \playerman{} \playername{} has a builtin boot loader which performs the 
+firmware update, and can also access the hard drive via USB. Therefore the 
+Rockbox bootloader can be very minimalistic, without USB mode.
+This also makes it less dangerous to install the Rockbox bootloader, as you can
+always restore it using the iAudio bootloader.
+
+\note{The current bootloader is not prepared to coexist with the original 
+firmware. It replaces the original firmware. Therefore it is only useful to 
+developers at this point.}
+
+\subsubsection{Installation}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Download the bootloader binary from 
+\url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/iaudio/}. Use \fname{x5v\_fw.bin}
+file if your \dap{} is a X5V. If it is a X5, use the \fname{x5\_fw.bin} file.
+\item Copy it to the \fname{FIRMWARE} directory on your X5.
+\item Turn the X5 off, remove the USB cable and insert the charger. The X5 will
+automatically upgrade the flash with the Rockbox bootloader.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsubsection{Restoring the original firmware}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Download the original X5 firmware from the iAudio web site.
+\item Copy it to the \fname{FIRMWARE} directory on your X5
+\item Turn the X5 off, remove the USB cable and insert the charger. The X5 will
+automatically upgrade the flash with the original firmware.
+\end{itemize}
