LTourist

The patch have been opened at my birthday What a coincidence ^^

vcf

great news! Thanks to markun. I am terribly sorry but I wasnt able to visit the conference cause I was to busy. Could we test it on sp?

vcf

and how does this patch work?

roelandb

how far is the development of the rockbox project for the meizu m6? Can we expect to see results within a few months? Preferrably before the m8 is released :-)

At the moment, markun is still trying to have some test code running on the meizu. But the player didn't react like he exepts to.

vcf: thank you for being the guide over here for visitors that look forward to RB. Of course thanx to the guys actually working on it.

Patches are applied by the command patch in NIX systems or cygwin as you can read in the rockbox guide to compiling or see wikipedia for .patch filetype

vcf

well, thanks if you could expain how does this patch work and post it here i think i'd would be a great step forward.

no need to apply the patch, since markun comitted it to the svn. Just download the latest version of the source and it will be there. (If you want to compile it, I think you have to use the bootloader method)

But as mentioned it'll do close to nothing. The code tries to switch the backlight on and off on an button event, but markun couldn't figure out, how to do that so far. Nothing fancy there.

I'd really like to contribute to this project, but all those pipes and operators make me sick. Plus I don't know jack about embedded programming.

Jensu

any news regarding the progress? was markun able to run the test code with results he expected?

vcf

no. we tried to run the code but it havent worked. we had to recover our players using dfu. no results here.

vcf

Jensu

any news regarding the progress?
the wiki page on rockbox.org didn't change since months. is there any change to see rockbox on the meizu m6 in the near future?

OH23

the future on this project doesnt look to bright
this project is in the making for over 7 months with no major accomplishments and no testing peroid anytime soon.
