Sansa Radio Support

[scarfy]

Hi,

I've had Rockbox working on my Sansa for a few weeks now and wanted to add in the radio support.

I updated my SVN, built the code and the simulator and tested it. The FM radio showed up fine in the sim but when I copied to it the Sansa the radio option wasn't there.

Do I need to run the Sansapatcher again?

Any special steps I might have missed? I literally just unzipped the new rockbox.zip to the root in place of the older rockbox code.

obvious quesiton first, you copied the e200 code onto the player, not the simulater build right?

next, did rockbox.mi4 end up in /.rockbox/ or just / ? the bootloader checks for /.rockbox/rockbox.mi4 before /rockbox.mi4 so its likely your old version got loaded instead.

Nope, copied the rockbox.zip over.

I renamed my /.rockbox directory to /.rockbox_old before I unzipped the new one.

If I don't need to run Sansapatcher again I'll just give it another shot tonight incase I did something else wrong

Are you sure your version of the Sansa has a radio built in? On "radioless" Sansas (like mine) this would be the normal behavior.

Damn... think you're right.

I thought they all shipped with the radio but the European version just had it disabled... Hmmmm... oh well

Unfortunately, Scraffy, they took the chip out for European models. Guess they figured that people would just hack the firmware to re-enable it...
