Check out 'rockbox' from CVS (or extract a downloaded archive). You want to check out 'rockbox-devel' instead if you want the simulator code too (for trying out things on host before making target tests). (For more information about the simulator, read UISIMULATOR.) $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.rockbox.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/rockbox login $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.rockbox.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/rockbox co rockbox or $ tar xzf rockbox.tar.gz 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 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. Make sure you have sh-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. $ which sh-elf-gcc $ which perl 7. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you. $ make 8. Copy the archos.mod or ajbrec.ajz file to your archos, reboot it and *smile*. Recent Rockbox versions need no reboots, just PLAY a new rockbox version and that'll be loaded and replace the currently running version. $ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/archos $ cp ajbrec.ajz /mnt/archos $ umount /mnt/archos Whenever the tools/configure script gets updated, you can make your makefile updated too by running 'tools/configure update'. 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 Questions anyone? Ask on the mailing list. We'll be happy to help you!
