iRiver H3xx Bootloader.. again...

Azzlack:
Tried to search the forum for an answer, but couldn't find a good one...


Anyone knows when Linus will finish the H3xx bootloader?
I am using the iRiver in my car with a car adapter, so it always starts up with iRiver firmware.

I have noticed that Linus hasn't been that active with commits the last 6 months, and I guess that he has his reasons for not being that active...

I have kinda been waiting for a very long time for this bootloader, and I'm starting to lose hope I will ever see my H340 boot into RockBox when I start the car...

nls:
We don't estimate ETAs, and that's really all there is to it, Linus probably don't know if/when he will work on that bootloader or how long it will take until it is "finished" so no one else could know either.

Massa:
Wouldn't it be possible to publish a new bootloader even if not everything at the todo list in the wiki page http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverBoot has been fixed or finished?
PLEASE!!! :)

I don't want to grouch, but it's been more than a year ago since the last bootloader has been published and I assume that a new one build on base of the current SVN code is better than the current official published one...

with regards,
Matthias

nls:
Of course it is possible to publish anything, you can even build one yourself but would you test it on your player with the risk of it being bricked? Linus has the necessary hardware to reflash an h300 directly even if it has been flashed with a non working image and that is pretty much needed when developing and testing a bootloader on those devices.

Llorean:
I believe that the SVN bootloader right now doesn't actually boot, so there's some work that needs to be done. At least, I recall someone saying that it doesn't.
