hi just wondering, how's the issue with potentially losing an sd card to rockbox with the d2 now? someone told me the chances are slim to none but i wanna make sure before i load anything on my 8gb sd

I don't think there is any danger now. I've been using it with a 32GB sandisk

I use A-DATA Secure Digital 32GB Turbo SDHC Class 10 without any problems

Reading through this thread it appears the D2 development is more or less dead.  Is that still the case?

I am happy with the current functionality, but would like a few additional features.  I am even willing to write the code myself!

Of most interest to me is adding support for using the built-in mic.  Can you give me an overview of what work needs to be done to be able to record from the built-in mic?

that's what it seemed like to me. Front page for the d2 still says "user has been warned!!" about sd cards. I'm surprised yet still wary since the last posters on here sd they are using 32 gb sd cards running rockbox. Still teetering though cause the d2's eq is pretty decent and i love the flash skins and flash support.

The audio output seems to fail randomly on this 2GB D2, either on startup or later - and the only way to reenable it is booting the original firmware.

The MP3 decoding etc. seems to continue running (at least the plugins like the oscilloscope/spectral analyser seem to imply that), there's just no output.

Is that a known bug?

Test build for the D2 with FS#12352 included:

Would be very interested to know if it works on the D2(non +) before I blind commit it.

Test build looks good on the original D2;

 - Still plays!
 - Detects both USB & dedicated charger.
 - Charging in RB appears to register greater current when checking before & after in OF.
 - Car mode detects both chargers and plays/ pauses on insertion/ extraction.
 - After charging in RB, charger still recognised in OF (phew).

Yep, it works.

Why on the few latest builds the menu only shows 3 items at a time?
With huge spaces in between...

[nick_p]

I think it's to make selecting menu items in Absolute Point touchscreen mode easier (though I don't know why this is on by default and that is off).

You can fix it with Settings > General Settings > Display > Touchscreen Settings > Line Padding in Lists > Off

Or add the following to config.cfg

list padding: off

Excellent! Nice easy fix...

Whats wrong with the latest current build for D2? The RB logo shows up for 3 seconds then the player just switches off...
It will start eventually but it may take 20 tries. Also it goes thru the battery like crazy. Usually full charge would go for days, with the new CB it only lasts about 1/3 as long.

I am keen to restart development on the D2 rockbox port - however, I can't build the latest version with --no-eabi (the VirtualBox image doesn't install the 4.0.3 gcc any more and I don't know if it's possible to disable in 4.4.4). This is necessary because the current build still has the problem of audio not working sometimes or being garbled, and taking several seconds to boot - it was even freezing altogether at times, though this issue seems to have been resolved by compiling the bootloader (with EABI).

Can anyone give me some pointers as to where to start? I tried to get the D2 emulator to work as well, but can't figure out how to get a dump of the NAND. Would Debian nanddump suffice (it can include OOB data)?

You should be able to get an older rockboxdev.sh to build the pre-eabi toolchain
