H340 does not boot to rockbox when connected to car adapter or AC

H340 boots to iRiver instead of rockbox when connected to car adapter or AC?

This is intentional... To charge in rockbox you need to plug in the AC while rockbox is running. I believe this is being changed in the next bootloader (and there is no date for that).

thanks for the reply.
that's odd. it used to work with my H140. but now with h340, everytime i start my car, it boots to iriver instead of rockbox.
to go around it. i have to disconnect the power cord before i start the player, boot to rockbox, plug in the power cord and then start the car. that's annoying.

can anyone from rockbox team confirm this?

as Didgeridoohan said, it's intentional, and will be changed in the next bootlader and there is no planned date for a bootloader release.

ok. thanks.
rockbox team, please change the bootloader to accomodate this, please please!!!!

Begging for new features never works... If you want things to happen faster, the only way is to contribute in some way. If you can't contribute, just sit tight and wait.

It has been said many times before, and now I'm saying it again:

It will be done when it's done!

Thank you, but that still doesn't necessitate the devs immediately jumping onto what you want done instead of what they prioritise.  Rockbox is written entirely in people's spare time whilst they still have jobs, families etc.  There is a new version of the H3x0 bootloader in the works written by LinusN, but he is a very busy man, with many commitments.  When he gets time to not only complete it, but also to thoroughly test it, the new bootloader will be released.  As the only part of Rockbox that goes in flash rom, it is the only bit of Rockbox that could brick your player.  Consequently I'm sure you wouldn't want it rushed out but would rather a properly tested official version were released.

I appreciate the behaviour you describe is annoying, but Rockbox is a free open source piece of software, and as such people work on what they have the time and inclination for, not what other people want.  You are always free to use the original firmware.

I'm not complaning. I certainly appreciate what rockbox team has done so far. specially gapless flac playback.
I didn't have this issue with H140 though and I was very happy but unfortunately I fried it after I plugged in the wrong adapter

The H140 is a different player with (some) different hardware.  Patience, it will happen.

I wait for it for a year already, and will continue to wait. Patiently.  Unless I burn my H320 before that happens. ;o)
