Rockbox Development > New Ports
Creative ZEN
grums:
1) The SDHC card (Kingston Class 4) works on my PC.
2) An 8GB card (pqi uSDHC Class 2) works on the ZEN - both when inserted before boot and when inserted on running system (not a thorough test, just browsing the card).
Of course I'm more than willing to test a version with more relaxed timing constraints... ;D
Update: The (failing) SDHC card also works on a GPS and a digital camera.
Update: The SDHC card (SD4/16GB) is on Creative's positive list for the ZEN.
Update: 2 more cards tested on same RB version as mentioned earlier (work OK on OF):
3) A 16GB card (Medion uSDHC Class 6) works
4) An 8GB card (pqi uSDHC Class 4) works when inserted/ejected on running system, but is not detected at boot
grums:
Plugins?
How much effort does it take to port a plugin to the ZEN - apart from setting up a complete development system?
I'd like to take advantage of the very nice display, and the first plugins could be the text viewer and JPEG viewer (maybe it has been done?)
pamaury:
I will upload a build with an extended timeout for SD, however the spec is very precise that the card must initialise within 1sec, so at best it would mean your card is buggy.
Porting one specific plugin is very easy, it's only a matter of deciding the key assignement. However the build system is pretty dumb and you must do it for all plugins before being able to enable them and that's a lot of work. You can use the simulator so you don't need a cross-compiler, but you still need everything else from a complete dev system: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/UiSimulator
grums:
1) Sounds fine - I might get the opportunity to test a 5th (u)SHDC card. BTW, can the workaround you mention be tested in the bootloader (trying to solve: card not detected at boot), or is it necessary to make a new build?
2) I don't quite understand why all the plugins have to be ported in order to test just one specific on the real hardware - how can the BatteryBenchmark plugin mentioned in this thread run?

The build system will try to build either all of them or none of them. You can of course hack up your own plugin to build independently of the rest, but it'll be a bit of effort.
