Rockbox for E680i/A780

[blackhawk]

I am trying to make rockbox Rockbox - Open Source Jukebox Firmware to run on my e680i. Using ipodvideo setting (320x240), successfuly run it on my device with poor sound quality. I made some performance tweak but now rockboxui always raise seg. fault and I forgot to save previous working setup I think it's nice if we can make e680i/a780 as a multimedia jukebox. Have an ipod on e680i/a780

Don't worry about firmware mod, this version using rockbox sdl simulator for arm cpu target.

update:

Installation instructions for rockbox-bleeding-20070909

1. Download unzip utility from here and Rockbox from RapidShare
2. Copy extracted unzip utility and still compressed Rockbox to your memory card.
3. Using eKonsole or over telnet:

# cd /mmc/mmca1
# ./unzip rockbox-bleeding-20070909.zip

4. For A1200/E6 user:

# cd /mmc/mmca1
# ./unzip rockbox/qt-2.3.10-a1200.zip

5. Install appropriate package for specific device from rockbox directory on your memory card.

Update 20071125:
Please download rockbox-common-20071125.rar and the appropriate package for your
device (rockbox-[device]-20071125.rar), extract and copy to /mmc/mmca1/rockbox folder.
rockbox-a1200-20071125.rar contains both rockbox-a1200.pkg and rockbox-rokr_e6.pkg.
rockbox-e680i-20071125.rar contains both rockbox-e680i.mpkg and rockbox-a780.mpkg.
For E680g user, you can try rockbox for E680i package. ROKR E2 package not
tested yet since I have no E2 device.

Update:
- Native SDL library (no need qte-2.3.10 anymore), disabling screen update when LCD off, and efficient rotation code. The result: less CPU power usage = less battery usage but faster
- Can hide to background, very important for A1200 and A780 user
- Support --flipscreen option, you have to edit rockbox.sh manually

Known problems:
- FM radio on E680i sometimes not working, I don't know why.
- FM radio on another device not working yet
- fire, mosaique, plasma, midiplay, mp3_encoder, mpegplayer make Rockbox crash

NOTE:
Since *.rar extension not supported by MotorolaFans.com, all my latest attachments in zipped rar format. You must unzip and then unrar these files

This is Rockbox SDL simulator compiled for Motorola EZX platform by
Ketut P. Kumajaya <kumajaya@bluebottle.com> base on ipod video configuration.
You can download ipod video documentation from Rockbox - Open Source Jukebox Firmware

Please download rockbox-common.rar and the appropriate package for your
device (rockbox-[device].rar), extract and copy to /mmc/mmca1/rockbox folder.

Device specific note:
1. A1200 and ROKR E6:
   rockbox-a1200-e6.rar contains rockbox-a1200-e6.pkg for both A1200 and E6.

2. E680, E680i, E680g and A780:
   rockbox-e680-e680i-e680g-a780.rar contains rockbox-e680.pkg,
   rockbox-e680i.mpkg and rockbox-a780.mpkg.

   For E680 user, please do not install the *.mpkg packages for E680i/A780
   but 2 specific packages for E680 device (rockbox-e680.pkg and
   rockbox.portrait-e680.pkg).

   For A780 user, please do not install the *.mpkg/*.pkg packages for
   E680i/E680 but 2 specific packages for A780 device (rockbox-a780.mpkg
   and rockbox.portrait-a780.mpkg).

   For E680g user, you can use rockbox for E680i packages.

4. ROKR E2
   You can try, but I can't promise it's works since I have no access to
   E2 device.

To show an album art in while playing screen, you have to prepare 100x100
pixel bitmap image (*.bmp) and save it as cover.bmp. Copy the image to the
appropriate album directory.

To show a song lyric in sncviewer plugin, rename *.lrc file to *.lrc8 and
then copy the file to a directory same as the song directory. The *.lrc8 file
and the song file must have a same name (except the file extension of course!).

Rockbox have many options, if something goes wrong and have no idea how to
fix manually, just run clearconfig.sh script over telnet, console (eKonsole),
or linloader.

Touchscreen support:
- Click on menu list to select a list
- If the list have a header, click on the header back to the list root menu
- If the list have no list header, click on the status bar back to the list root menu

To catch your device SDL key value, you can run rockbox with --debugwps option 
over telnet on console:

# cd /mmc/mmca1/rockbox
# . /mmc/mmca1/rockbox/setenv.sh
# rockboxui --debugwps

BUG:
If you need to flip the screen upside down (exist only on landscape mode) over
Settings - General Settings - Display - LCD Settings - Upside Down, do not use
RIGHT button to change the value (Yes/No) but SELECT button. If you use the
RIGHT button, all button will stop responding until you press the RIGHT button
once again.

For any suggestions, comments, or bug reports, please do not send me an email
directly but please go to MotorolaFans.com .

rockbox!!!u hav rock the world blackhawk!!!gosh!i hope this thing can record our fm radio because in archos they can record the fm radio.

blackhawk,keep it up!

[luks]

record the fmradio..? things i need long2 time...
wish the development will make the phone always new....

[blackhawk]

Rockbox back working on my E680i! Better speed but audio realtime playback still not acceptable. Next working is enable arm specific code on dsp and equalizer. For now, you can download rockbox ipod video simulator for windows (without sound) or linux from the net. Download your favourite theme too

[naset]

very2 good news from the great blackhawk!blackhawk,can we record fm radio from using this rockbox?any possibilities?

I like this themes.very nice.hahaha




gosh!too many beautiful themes!!!

p/s:CANT WAIT FOR UR RELEASE! TEN THUMBS UP!

[enigma2s]

somebody can upload some files??

[naset]

it is not release yet.must wait blackhawk to finish it.

[blackhawk]

With arm optimizition, now sound quality much better. Crossfeed, equalizer and dithering seem work! Realtime playback problems maybe related to system memory limitation because I have allocated 16M as rockbox buffer memory. Maybe swap memory and CPU overclock can help. Next work, enable E680i bass boster and sound mixer. But now I got a new problem, mp3 codec fail loaded About FM radio, maybe I can make it work but not promise for recording. Be patient, I have no much time to do this project.

[naset]

take ur time blackhawk.about the fm radio,i can wait if it takes a year or more.hehehe.juz keep it up!yeah!!!
