iPod 2G firewire last known good version?

(1/4) > >>

landtuna:
I just tried to install Rockbox on my 2nd generation iPod (firewire).  I think it's installed correctly, because I can get into the original firmware if the hold switch is on as it boots.  When I don't do that, I get various errors, like "data abort F0000006" and "undefined instruction at 000449FC" after a long boot.  Sometimes, it just hangs with the apple on the screen.  It's almost like the firmware isn't for this processor.

Right now I'm using r15886.

What's the most recent version someone has running on a 1G or 2G iPod?

Thanks.

Try the daily build from 20071204.  It's working for me (I haven't updated recently so can't confirm your issue)

landtuna:
That version worked.  Thanks!  (And don't update your iPod.  :))

yapper:
I just updated to r15896 and that seems to be working fine.

pixelma:
I've heard that currently there is a problem with the early Ipod models which have a certain Portalplayer chip (1st - 3rd generation if I remember correctly). This problem occurs as described by the original post but only in some builds - the slightest change to the source can make a build break or work again even if the change doesn't seem important. This is why it is so hard to hunt down the real cause of it and to fix by the developers who are aware of the issue.

You could only try new builds from time to time and keep the last version that was working for you.
