Rockbox Project (M6)

roryrudy

i now own a cowon d2 and loving it but i still check here every now and then. There's a member at iaudiophile.net, he actually has the rockbox beta out and everyone is loving it. Maybe you can ask him for help.

His name is Shotofadds.

Good Luck

I have also a Cowon D2 and I have dual system... I use it with Cowon firmware v3.57 and also with Rockbox.

Rockbox is working... but in a very early stage... it's capable to play music... nicely but using browser to play the files. There isn't ID3 tag ordering yet... so there isn't a great advantage in use Rockbox... except that adds a codec to play music (MPC) and there is a more complete implementation of APE.

Anyway it's nice to have the chance to use any of both firmwares.

by the time the m8 comes out i will not care about the m6 rockbox project anymore, it's a pitty but i think it will be too late for a lot of people... :-(

why ? if a new model of Cowon product or Iriver is released, does rockbox loose its appeal among old player owners ? i personally love my M6 and if rockbox appears i will buy a new m6 one for future as my nokia phone is still making calls and sms im not very interested in M8...

I find myself quoting a very old post...

Well, actually there is a suffix part. But it's not there on the dfu file; it's added on-the-fly when the firmware is being restored by DFU.

With this knowledge, I have actually been able to fully restore an M3/M6TP/SP on Linux

that's really great news good work!

next would be to run some testcode on the meizu?
any progress regarding this?

best

well we could make any steps now. thats fine that we have a dfu tool for linux. the problem is in that that we cant understand why the right test code isnt working on meizu. any way we need to expairement more with the code. or try to find some errors there. i am doing this but not to fast cause i am not an experienced C coder

Jensu

it's still the problem that the meizu feezes if you try some test code?
and how did you transfer the code to the player? with a modified original firmware?

vcf

yes the problem is in that the meizu feezes if you try some test code. thats something we need to descover how to push the code to meizu. maybe just rename it to m6.ebn and place in the root. or using dfu. we hadnt any luck with this. maybe you could try? =)

great news! gevaerts made m6sl working with the test code!
