Sansa Questions

<< < (3/3)

Llorean:
The Sansa uses flash memory, and the Battery_bench depends on disk spinups to know when to write the file. Because the Sansa doesn't have a disk that spins up, it probably never writes the file.

This was fixed for the iPod Nano, but I think that was before the Sansa was a working target, and the fix was part of the ATA code, rather than the plugin, I believe, so the fix may need to be defined or added in for the Sansa as well.

Vortex:
Wouldn't it be easier to change battery_bench so that it automatically logs the battery status every 15 minutes or so on the "diskless" targets?

Since the Sansa doesn't have a disk to spin up, like you said, there probably wouldn't be too much of an additional power drain from battery_bench's disk access. Or does accessing the flash memory drain large amounts of energy?
