Marianne Arnold b63c5fdfb9 Fix the hierarchy in the new goban.tex so that 'Controls' and 'Menus' appear as a chapter in the plugin description and not as 'plugins' themselves git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@19987 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657		2009-02-12 13:07:09 +00:00
apps	Make test_codec.c compilable again.	2009-02-12 05:30:12 +00:00

bootloader	Make basic cache functions into calls, and get rid of CACHE_FUNCTION_WRAPPERS and CACHE_FUNCTIONS_AS_CALL macros. Rename flush/invalidate_icache to cpucache_flush/invalidate. They're inlined only if an implementation isn't provided by defining HAVE_CPUCACHE_FLUSH/INVALIDATE.	2009-02-11 12:55:51 +00:00

firmware	Gigabeat S: Handle any DMA playback errors reported and stop in that case (none are expected but it's better to handle than ignore).	2009-02-12 02:04:26 +00:00
flash	Simplify powermgmt thread loops so it calls functions turn (no more power_thread_sleep). Do other target-friendly simplifications, generic battery switch handling and split sim-specific code. Whoever can, please verify charging on the Archos Recorder (due to change in the charger duty cycle code).	2008-12-24 16:58:41 +00:00

Build Your Own Rockbox

1. Check out 'rockbox' from SVN (or extract a downloaded archive).

   $ svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox

     or

   $ tar xjf rockbox.tar.bz2

2. Create a build directory, preferably in the same directory as the firmware/
   and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be written.

   $ cd rockbox
   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build

3. Make sure you have sh/arm/m68k-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
   that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. Your gcc cross compiler needs to be
   a particular version depending on what player you are compiling for. These
   can be acquired with the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
   source, or will have been included if you've installed one of the
   toolchains or development environments provided at http://www.rockbox.org/

   $ which sh-elf-gcc
   $ which perl

4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what
   target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not (and a
   few more questions). It'll prompt you. The debug version is for making a
   gdb version out of it. It is only useful if you run gdb towards your target
   Archos.

   $ ../tools/configure

5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you.

6. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
   directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.

   $ make
   $ make zip

7. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
   *smile*.

If you want to build for more than one target, just create several build
directories and create a setup for each target:

   $ mkdir build-fmrecorder
   $ cd build-fmrecorder
   $ ../tools/configure

   $ mkdir build-player
   $ cd build-player
   $ ../tools/configure
