Adds the ability to load firmware from other drives on MULTIVOLUME targets Mihail Zenkov <mihail.zenkov@gmail.com> had posted a hard coded patch to allow this on several Sansa players, I made it more universal Redirect file rockbox_main.<name> should placed in root of drive you would like to be main, if this file empty or there a single slash '/' firmware will be loaded from /.rockbox in root of this drive If instead a /<*DIRECTORY*> is supplied in rockbox_main.<name> then firmware will be loaded from /<dir>/.rockbox/ NOTES* The directory can have multiple levels however.. leading slash MUST be included trailing slash can be omitted (eg. /test/.rockbox would be simply '/test' in the redirect file) Redirect file will not work on internal drive (whatever is default boot drive) Volume with the highest index containing redirect file will be loaded first. Firmware file is checked for boot data region, if missing, firmware image will not be loaded. On failure or if no redirect file is found load will fallback to internal drive Currently only Sansa Fuze+, Sansa Clip+, Sansa Clip Zip, Sansa Fuzev2, and Sansa Fuzev1 are implemented. Players (with HAVE_MULTIVOLUME) will need #define HAVE_BOOTDATA and #define BOOT_REDIR "rockbox_main.<name>" added to their config file boot_data is implemented in crt0.s file (See g#1552) ARM and IMX233 have aleady been implemented Once these conditions are met <HAVE_MULTIBOOT> will be defined by config.h Partitions on the drives are able to have a redirect as well.

Build Your Own Rockbox
1. Clone 'rockbox' from git (or extract a downloaded archive).
$ git clone git://git.rockbox.org/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
