I suggest to place the plugin to where you keep the others, "/.rockbox/rocks/". The plugin needs to be consistant with the Rockbox plugin API version, otherwise it will detect mismatch and won't run. -

Don't flash any "old" builds which don't have the latest coldstart ability I brought into cvs these days. They won't boot. These instructions refer to -- cgit v1.2.3
