Can we get support for the 64 meg cache instead of 32 on 5g 60gig?

10hrs, 15 minutes using 64MB buffer.  Battery meter seems to be more of a guesstimate than anything.

Can you run your test on an mp3 192k album? I know from the tests run at Misticriver that on a iRiver H320 ogg puts a hit on battery life...

To get a fair comparison, you'll need the exact same settings with the same playlist running the 32mb build and then the 64mb build and comparing.

Otherwise it's pretty much useless.

Point taken -- am running the same exact playlist using the 32mb build.

Since I haven't got any negative feedback I've submitted a patch to the tracker for the crt0.S change.

As Llorean has stated they don't want to add another build, it is still up to individuals to enable the 64MB in configure.

You can reference the patch here:
FS#5472 — ipod 64MB memory

so as far as I can understand I need to apply this patch directly to a CVS build and not like some of the other patches and just copy over the existing file?

got my 60g video today .... and I JUST downloaded your build. I'm running it /w no problems so far
as in, a few minutes. *grin*

Not so much a CVS *build*, but CVS source code. The patch from the tracker is changes to source code. You will need the source, apply the patch and build.

ahhaaaa I finally got this who compiling thing working......


Just built todays cvs with the modifications...

Now to figure out more patches that might work.....

At a request from linuxstb, I've updated the patch so it also adjusts configure. After the patch has been applied, you do *not* need to do any further adjustments to configure.

When you run configure, there will be a new option, "22", to select. This is the ipodvideo 64MB build.

Here's my vote to say I would have no problem with seperate builds for the 30 and 60 (or more hopefully it can be detected automatically).  I love the Rockbox, and only bought a digital audio player when I found it as no other could do what I wanted.  I got the 60GB IPod partially because of the battery life, and while I am perfectly comfortable compiling programs in UNIX, to be totally honest I don't have the time to get into it that much.  Anyway, just my 2 cents.

If I could host the file... which I think I can actually somewhere.  I could post a weekly build for 60 gig ipod video's with 64 meg patch enabled.  I wouldn't mind.  That way we can keep current with the builds at least weekly.  I'm still not good at patching but I am able to do the 64 meg patch either manually or with his patch. 

It'll be the only included patch that I use for now.  I'm still learning patching and compiling.  Last one I tried I had many errors in the compiling due to several different patches that didn't work.  Probably my own fault but I did compile one with just the 64 meg patch by itself it worked fine.  I have it on my ipod working great.

If anyone needs hosting for binaries I've got massive amounts of unused bandwidth. Contact me on aim/yahoo or ryan [attt) b19.org

[mehtadone]

Same here. WebDav already setup. Pm me if you would like hosting for the builds, pages etc.

Here's a build I'll call the Mark of the Beast day build..... since today is 6/6/6

The only patch applied is the 64 meg patch.  Installed and tested on my ipod.
