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 'firmware' 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://bjorn.haxx.se/rockbox/cvs.html 2. Build Uisimulator For the X11 simulator, change directory to uisimulator/x11. Edit the "DISPLAY" variable in the Makefile to match the target LCD you want to build the simulator for. Run 'make'. 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 -------- -------------- [fill in] MENU [fill in] PLAY [fill in] STOP
