Rockbox Development > New Ports
Sandisk Sansa View
zivan56:
Well, if what was said by crackmonkey421 is true, then someone needs to disassemble the firmware and figure out some way to show (i.e LCD, button lights, beep) that the device in fact accepts the e200 rockbox mi4 format. Can anyone else verify this?
crackmonkey421:
The light for the blue ring around the wheel comes on, but that's all. It says "sandisk sansa" as usual then the screen slowly turns green, then white, then purple and so on... the words "sandisk sansa" stay on the screen. It's pretty, but it doesn't look like something that's intended to be that way. I even tried with a reverse boot loader for e200 with the same results. In high hopes, I even stuck an unencrypted View's firmware (OF.BIN) in my SYSTEM folder, so maybe the e200 rockbox bootloader would load my View's regular firmware. Of course that didn't work.

Well the screen only does the fade out once the OS stops controlling the LCD. That means that the new firmware was indeed accepted. Since the location for the GPIO of all the components is different, it is logical that nothing will work (buttons, lcd, etc).

Was anyone aware that UMS mode was achievable just by plugging the USB cable in and waiting a little bit? That is, if your OS of choice does not support MTP. I forgot to do the UMS trick yesterday, and noticed that it worked somehow.
I'm an OpenSUSE user for the record.
Llorean:
This is not reliable though (at least on other Sandisk devices that have this feature). Depending on various factors, by the time it switches to UMS mode, you may end up with a glitchy connection. So while it works, it's still better to do the trick.
