Hardware / Re: DMA leads to FS corruption on iPod 4G?
« Last post by chris_s on January 17, 2019, 03:04:54 PM »After some furious testing today, I’m now growing ever more confident that the culprit is indeed DMA. Rockbox’s implementation does not seem to work reliably on the fourth-generation iPod.
I’ve compared three devices:
A) iPod 4G running 3.14 (with DMA enabled) and stock HD
B & C) each an iPod 4G running latest dev version, using flash storage (compact flash card), patched so that DMA is disabled
Between the devices I’ve probably gone through the shutdown and restart cycle hundreds of times, had them play back songs, switched between songs, and created dynamic playlists by selecting something from the database somewhat randomly.
Once again, and as expected, device A, the one with the built-in hard drive and DMA enabled, eventually asked me to re-initialize the database and ended up with a corrupted FS after a few dozen restarts.
On the other hand, both B and C have run without even a single hiccup so far.
As I mentioned, I had previously run into FS corruption on each of these devices when DMA was enabled (both on 3.14 and the latest dev version).

If you mean mount as a USB device using a computer as host, all rockbox devices can do that.

I love Rockbox but it has been a long time ago, I have to go back to stock just to get the benefit from dock and remote controls.

« Last post by jfs on January 17, 2019, 02:14:56 AM »I tried updating today. First with the stock firmware and then the Rockbox firmware. When I tried to update the firmware I got an error message "Firmware update file not found"
I also looked at the music browser. There are no files found in the TF card or OTG device (not sure what this is).
I installed a card from Kingston, 8G before I started. I don't know how to switch between them, or why the player isn't reading.
Thanks,
Joe

« Last post by Bilgus on January 16, 2019, 11:49:47 PM »IIRC the fuze+ has a timeout on the battery charge my fuze+ reaches 100% but then drops after
the timeout since it is still on.. That is probably what you are seeing.
Beyond that are you charging with a low wattage usb like from the pc or flaky usb cable?
