F40 - USB to my camera ?

<< < (2/2)

markun:
The Gigabeat F has:

* a USB ATA bridge with a connector on the device itself
The Cradle has:

* a 4 port USB hub connected to:

* the USB ATA bridge
* the USB device of the CPU
* the USB host of the CPU

Mad Cow:
Yep, the dock has a normal-sized female USB port on the side, which works as a USB host. Not too sure how well it works because all I know about it is what I read in the manual.  :D

But dual-boot does work, you need to have the original firmware named something specific and you need to hold a certain button on boot, but you will need to connect it to a computer to rename it back for going back to rockbox. Check out the gigabeat wiki page for info.

When I'm far from a computer, I need an easiest way to switch from the toshiba firmware and rockbox.
If I had my PC I wouldn't need the F40 for storing my pictures.

Yeah, that's not really dual-boot as much as "restore original firmware".

I thought that most 'button action' were removed from the bootloader. When I look at the code I don't see any specific actions anymore for the gigabeat, part from reading a button to display the version info. Am I missing something?
