SanDisk Sansa c200v2, m200v4, clipv1, clipv2, clip+, and fuzev2

[Timar]

Got a crash while setting up the EQ (Clip+, r25799):

Code: [Select]

D.a. at 000075C8
FSR 0x8 (d. 0, f. 8)
addr.  0x70E5A0FC

Btw. there's a small visual glitch in the graphic eq menu which makes the upper eq bar slip up into the yellow row and leaves the according space at the bottom blank.

Tried the latest build with both my Clip+ and Fuzev2 today - certainly stable enough, but the maximum volume level is too quiet to be of any practical use.

A big thank you to all those who have gotten the port this far!

Anyone feel like trying out this bootloader for the fuzev2:

If it works I'll get it uploaded to the download server. 

It works perfectly.

On the other hand, the Fuze will freeze during the FM Radio Autoscan if I give any sort of input after the LCD turns off. It will also freeze if I mute it and then try to change the station.

I ran into the issue with the FM Radio Autoscan also...

Just installed rockbox on fuzev2 using this bootloader http://duke.edu/~mgg6/rockbox/bootloader-fuzev2.sansa

Generally works OK.
Plays music :) Menu works.
Radio not tested yet.

Unfortunately after ~10 minutes of playing music, while searching the playlist, I got black screen with:
Data abort
at 30056548
FSR 0x8
(domain 0, fault 8)
address 0x9543543B

Plugging USB when the player is turned off boots OF.

Also the screen is a bit too wide and battery icon hides under the top edge of the screen. Probably OF does not use all available pixels.

Hi,

A few observations about the clip+ in day to day use. I still get the data aborts every so often quite randomly.

I am also getting a weird problem when trying to change track after about half an album of skipping around and listening to music the advance button becomes unresponsive to change track. It will fast forward but not skip. The skip back button will rewind and skip to the beginning of the track and when push it starts to skip all over my music collection. This is with the default setting on. It should not move from the currently selected album as far as i understand.

Added: There now seems to be a high pitched noise than is comming from the screen when the system is running Rockbox. It is quite quiet but noticeable. Anyone else hearing this?

Updated to r25831 earlier today.

Radio option shows up in the main menu, but it froze on the autoscan thing. Scroll wheel light still flickers like crazy. And the theme does go under the case a bit, but I don't mind that.

Other than those things, it's been working perfectly for me. 8GB Fuze v2 with a 16GB Sandisk microSD card. Ran for 8 hours or so last night with no problems, battery was at 50% when I got home. Mix of FLAC, OGG, MP3, AAC and several other file types.

Great job, guys! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out.

I am over 14hrs into a battery test, but still have ~40% left. This behavior looks odd; this is way too good and I should probably stop. Is it because the album is only 40 min of mp3s (big, alt-preset-extreme ones at that)?

Why does it look too good?  IIRC the last tests we had of the clip were something like 19 hours, and I bet we can do better then that on the Fuze.

[bilditup1]

Well didn't several ppl here say their Fuzes conked out at around 16hrs? Probably I'm remembering it wrong...
Now up to 15hrs, 5min. Volume is at -20db; EQ is flat; album is on the microSD card. Does the headphone used affect battery life, if volume is kept the same?
(The album, for the heck of it, is Saxophone Colossus.)

Turning the backlight on to check percentages basically isn't a good idea. The backlight can drain an awful lot of power relative to other things.

If you want to do a battery bench, you shouldn't touch the player once it's started.

[bilditup1]

Oh boy. Shoulda thought of that one. Should I stop then? Apologies for the hijacking of this here thread.

Turning the backlight on for 10 seconds every hour will not be a problem.

When I run bench without headphones it's how I check if the player crashed or not.

[Llorean]

That's nearly three minutes of backlight time for an 18 hour player.

I have several players where the battery level will go down multiple percentages in three minutes of backlight time.

If you want to do an accurate battery bench, you shouldn't turn the backlight on at any point during it. If you want an approximate bench, sure, it's fine. You'll know that it's a bit short due to the backlight use.
