rockbox/utils/nwztools/scripts/install_dualboot.sh, branch wolf3d My Rockbox tree Initial commit for the Sony NWZ linux port 2017-09-05T19:42:12+00:00 Amaury Pouly amaury.pouly@gmail.com 2017-02-23T10:33:19+00:00 1d121e8c082fe67757cf0d4df7b9e6ca1e26f755 SUPPORTED SERIES: - NWZ-E450 - NWZ-E460 - NWZ-E470 - NWZ-E580 - NWZ-A10 NOTES: - bootloader makefile convert an extra font to be installed alongside the bootloader since sysfont is way too small - the toolsicon bitmap comes from the Oxygen iconset - touchscreen driver is untested TODO: - implement audio routing driver (pcm is handled by pcm-alsa) - fix playback: it crashes on illegal instruction in DEBUG builds - find out why the browser starts at / instead of /contents - implement radio support - implement return to OF for usb handling - calibrate battery curve (NB: of can report a battery level on a 0-5 scale but probabl don't want to use that ?) - implement simulator build (we need a nice image of the player) - figure out if we can detect jack removal POTENTIAL TODOS: - try to build a usb serial gadget and gdbserver Change-Id: Ic77d71e0651355d47cc4e423a40fb64a60c69a80 
SUPPORTED SERIES:
- NWZ-E450
- NWZ-E460
- NWZ-E470
- NWZ-E580
- NWZ-A10

NOTES:
- bootloader makefile convert an extra font to be installed alongside the bootloader
  since sysfont is way too small
- the toolsicon bitmap comes from the Oxygen iconset
- touchscreen driver is untested

TODO:
- implement audio routing driver (pcm is handled by pcm-alsa)
- fix playback: it crashes on illegal instruction in DEBUG builds
- find out why the browser starts at / instead of /contents
- implement radio support
- implement return to OF for usb handling
- calibrate battery curve (NB: of can report a battery level on a 0-5 scale but
  probabl don't want to use that ?)
- implement simulator build (we need a nice image of the player)
- figure out if we can detect jack removal

POTENTIAL TODOS:
- try to build a usb serial gadget and gdbserver

nwztools/scripts: mount storage with ext3 instead of ext2 2016-11-20T20:36:54+00:00 Amaury Pouly amaury.pouly@gmail.com 2016-11-20T20:35:37+00:00 a88f57ec36d873d2c896e8c178c4bba2649f8d58 Since ext3 supports ext2, we can support more platforms. Some platforms use ext4 with a very specific set of options, we I haven't encountered those yet so it's not currently a problem. Change-Id: Iff87e925a4caa866c6a66b1883ad6baab88c0b8d

nwztools: rework dualboot 2016-11-12T21:16:48+00:00 Amaury Pouly amaury.pouly@gmail.com 2016-11-12T21:16:48+00:00 0c1a96101cdfc778dbffa7ceffea5765ffd4d1bd The new code gets closer to an actual bootloader: - it provides a menu with three options: Sony, Rockox, tools with icons (and extracts the Sony logo from the NVP) - the dualboot install script now creates a symlink from /.rockbox to /contents/.rockox which is necessary to run rockbox - more text drawing / framebuffer functions In the long run, we will move this under bootloader/ and rbutil/ and also use firmware/ drawing facilities, at the moment we use OF display program which is slow and creates some flickering. The logo extraction/placement code was tested with resolution 240x320 and I guessed some reasonable values for 240x400, but those will probably need some tweaking.

The new code gets closer to an actual bootloader:

nwztools: add preliminary dualboot and dualboot install script 2016-11-01T16:09:07+00:00 Amaury Pouly amaury.pouly@gmail.com 2016-11-01T16:04:26+00:00 d492f25c54b4134fd6632156efee07670ab4004f At the moment, the script install_duaboot does the following: - rename SpiderApp to SpiderApp.of (unless it already exists) - install payload as SpiderApp - fixes permissions Since SpiderApp is the main app, it will execute instead of the OF. The current dualboot code (dualboot.c) is still a preliminary but the current version displays an "all tools" menu to choose for. When exitting the menu using BACK, it will run the OF. With the modifications made by the install script, it should not be possible to break the device. In the worst case scenario, the dualboot code crashes and it restarted by the sysmgrd, or hangs. A safe way to recover is to plug the USB cable and reset the device: the system manager will then start the USB app and one can reflash the device if necessary.
