i just checked out all rockbox sources from cvs and compiled. after rockbox boot, i successfully rebooted into original firmware
I've just added the eeprom driver for h300 series and a way to write a file to it.This way it should be possible to restore OF eeprom settings if rockbox wiped them. It can also be used to find the source of the wiping.
The eeprom is a programmable chip where the original iriver firmware stores its settings. Writing to it will not brick your player.
Some rockbox users have reported that they are unable to start the original iriver firmware (it hangs at boot time) - however rockbox works ok. I'm assuming that the reason for this is that the settings of the original iriver firmware have become corrupted.
I'm one of those users. What should I do to reset to default settings ? Just run this driver and I'm set ?
Alternatively, it can be used to find out which value iriver is storing where

The driver does absolutely nothing on its own (on h300 at least) - it's only accessed when selecting those two entries in the debug screen (see other thread)

Just run this driver and I'm set ?Well technically you don't 'run' a driver I've added instructions in that other thread. The latest CVS build will now also print a message on success, the old version only printed something on the screen if there was a problem.Do tell me if it fixed your problem
