Hi,
Yes I've found why it happen (frequency scaling), apparently the DRAM doesn't like to be clocked too high but that doesn't match the datasheet so this needs to be investigated. I will try to come up with a solution soon. Unfortunately I cannot disable frequency scaling because the player is completely unsuable without :( Maybe try to roll back to a older revision in the mean time. Thanks for the report.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll test some older versions. Oh, and good luck with your programming efforts.  ;)
I'm so greatful I can finally run rockbox on this little baby. When the NAND driver is out one day (I hope it will :D), it'll be perfect!

Hi again,
I have some good news: with the recenty work on many places, the Zen X-Fi2 should have gained a lot in stability, especially the crashes when playing should be gone. Someone with the SD version of the device contacted me and we may be able to handle them in the near future. Still no work done on the internal storage for NAND but since microSD is working, I consider this is already sufficient for now. I now the touchscreen driver sucks but didn't have time to improve it. However, with some work done for the Fuze+, a softlock mechanism with touchscreen disable (like on phones) should appear anytime soon, making the device finally really usable !!
Appart from this, radio is still not working, I have some gone but it's ugly, it cannot be pushed in this state. If you have any feedback or comments, do not hesitate to answer here or send me an email because the more you bother me, the more likely I will kill the bugs since I have many things to do and only finite time to do so.

Thanks a lot for your efforts! I was looking for a new firmware (the original one sucks, the way it manages playlists and reproduction order is a mess) and I found this forum... amazing! I haven't still tried it out as I haven't got a microSD round here, but thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have made some great progress on the reverse engineering of the internal storage for NAND players, I hope to be able to have a working prototype for read-only storage in the incoming weeks.  The task is quite a thing but as a side effect it will enable Rockbox on a few other players which are based on NAND. I don't expect to have a working code for write quite soon but being able to read/write in OF and read in Rockbox seems like a good compromise. I haven't worked yet on the SD based version of the player but since it should be trivial to support, I plan to implement it this week-end, this was long overdue.

Little UP to say that I got internal storage working on the SD version. With proper code Rockbox can automatically use it if it's available and just ignore it if it's not. I will update the bootloader images soon so you can test it. Not that the NAND version still only supports microsd.

How can I turn the volume up? It was a little loud, so I pressed the volume bar icon and then it dropped the volume to 0. I've pressed everywhere on the screen, but unfortunately I can't get it back up.

In 3x3 grid mode, in the WPS screen press "up" (ie top of the screen). You can algo set the volume using the settings.

Anyone still working on the xfi 2? It is still lacking speaker support. It might be something as simple as monitoring the state of the jack switch which detects if headphones are connected, if not, reroute audio to speaker.

Hi,
yes I still maintain the X-Fi2. At the moment the speaker is supported but you have to manually enable/disable it in the audio menu. The device also has code to monitor the jack. What is missing is that Rockbox doesn't have any code to switch the speaker on/off based on jack state. I'll try to add support for that if it's not too hard.

Worth a mention at this point bootloader has been upgraded to v2 (on the wiki) to keep pace with the development of the port and points to the internal memory for model DVP-FL015.

As long as bootloader v2 is used from now on it should only be necessary to install .rockbox on the internal memory.
Also note that earphone detection now is also working.  ;)
