Rockbox Development > New Ports
Cowon D2
grep:
I have been using rockbox with great satisfaction on my D2 so far, and have been looking for a way to "give back" something to this wonderful project.
Since I'm not a programmer and can't help with all the technical stuff, I've got my eye on that "Write the manual" item on the todo list and have been reading the ManualHowto page.
But before I get started with all that I'd like some confirmation if it's the right time to start with this. Is it perhaps too soon to start writing the D2 manual, since the release is still not a supported rockbox target?
shotofadds:
I'd say it's a great time, since it's unlikely to ever become supported without a manual ;)

To those who cannot get Rockbox to boot on D2+ players with new hardware, please try uploading this image to your player using tcctool:

You might find the backlight comes on now, so you might be able to read the screen. However, I wouldn't expect much else to work (the touchscreen certainly won't). Let me know how it goes...
@grep, I've now added an SVG drawing of the D2, so that part of the manual is already done for you! :D
fish:
I'v gave it short try and it works.
The screen turned on and I even can navigate with the keys - very nice :)

Thanks mate! :D
I'm still in the process of "finding my bearings" of the processes surrounding the rockbox manual. I've installed Latex and svn and been doing some test building of manuals to see how that all works.
There's one thing that I don't understand atm:
The ManualHowTo tells me to create a new directory in Rockbox SVN root (where tools, apps, manual etc are located) and do the "configure" and "make" in there. This strikes me as odd. Doesn't that mean when I commit this to svn, the directory stays on that level? Or is that perhaps to prevent new manual targets to fuck it up for the existing entries under manual?
