Creative ZEN
ChronoSphere:
Seeing this build's progress is a pleasant surprise considering my clip+ recently died. This gave me a reason to revive my old Creative ZEN. I must say, for an "unusable" build, it doesn't behave that differently than the clip+ one (not counting the manual installation). So far it's been smooth sailing, except for a crash when I attempted to insert the SD card while in browser mode (but to be honest, I've been having the same issue sporadically with the clip+ so...) which hasn't resurfaced yet.
In any case, this was the kernel panic:
--- Code: ---*PANIC*
microSD init failed: -2
pc:60060390 sp: 600FCA48
bt end
--- End code ---
Can you do anything to remove the loud click/booming sound on power up/shutdown? It sounds the same as pulling the plug on active speakers instead of turning them off, if you don't know what I mean.
Another (I guess cosmetic) bug I noticed is that the charging indicator stops its animation once you connect it to the PC, the charging is still working though.
I'll be following this thread and am willing to assist with any tests needed, thanks for working on this!

More tests done: virtual Win XP computer fails, Win 7 succeeds and Mac OSX succeeds. Original report http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,13462.msg221249.html#msg221249 updated.

I too get that.

If you've tried formatting on Win XP, I'd be interested to hear if you got more success than I.

Well, FWIW formatting works on my VMed winXP SP3. I tried formatting it once when it was already rockbox-formatted and once when it was creativeOS-formatted. Both went fine. It was detected as a removable drive with corrupted filenames in the latter case, but it did format fine.

If "help" in this case means suggestions how to map them, here is how I'd do it:
- play/pause/back/joystick middle key as they are now
- the "menu" "options" key should bring you the "quickscreen" menu (where you can set a quickaction for up/down/left/right), long press to main menu.
- the shortcut key (to the left of play/pause) could jump to the "shortcuts" menu.
Might be a stupid question, but can I view what changed between revisions somewhere?
Processor frequency scaling is still not implemented, is it?
edit: The "Disk usage" section on the wiki has a typo btw: "In its current state, the port can really work along with the OF because of the file system". Should be "can't"
pamaury:
Frequency scaling is not implemented, I didn't have much time recently but at least I found what causes the "Black screen of death". You can have a look at the most recent changes on the front page of rockbox.org or have a look at the repo http://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git but it's not specific to the ZEN, it's the entire project. Look for commits containing "imx233" mostly.
