The "Player" is the Archos Jukebox Player 6000 and Archos Studio 20, while the "Recorder" is the Archos Recorder 20. The "Player" has a character-based LCD screen with 2 lines of 11 letters and a big round thing on the keypad (featuring 6 different keys), while the "Recorder" has a graphical LCD and has all its 10 keys separate. 1. Get Sources The the very latest sources off the CVS server. Get the 'tools' dir, 'firmware' dir, the 'apps' dir and the 'uisimulator' dir on the same dir level, to make it easier to build things (some of the files assume this hierarchy). All CVS details can be found here: http://rockbox.haxx.se/cvs.html 2. Build Uisimulator For the X11 simulator: (This has been compiled and run on at least Solaris and Linux. It should work on other unixes too but we haven't tried any other yet.) Create a new directory and run the 'tools/configure' script in there. Select target to simulate and select simulation. The script will then generate a Makefile for you: $ mkdir build-dir $ cd build-dir $ ../tools/configure [ answer to questions ] [ Makefile created, archos subdirectory created ] $ make $ ./rockboxui Note that the simulator uses a local subdirectory named 'archos' as "root directory" for the simulated box. Copy a bunch of mp3 files into that directory, create subdirectories and do all sorts of things you want to be able to browse when you fire up the simulator. For the Win32 simulator: No info yet. 3. Run Uisimulator To create a simulated disk drive for the simulator to see, create a subdirectory named 'archos' and populate it with a bunch of test files/directories. Run 'rockboxui'. 4. Target Keypad Equivalents The keyboard's numerical keypad is used to simulate the Archos keypads: Keyboard Generic Archos -------- -------------- + ON 8 UP 2 DOWN 4 LEFT 6 RIGHT Keyboard Recorder-only -------- -------------- Enter OFF 5 PLAY / F1 * F2 - F3 Keyboard Player-only -------- -------------- Enter MENU 6 PLAY (there's no separation between PLAY and RIGHT)
