Rockbox and Compact Flash
antonyfirst:
The splash screen lasts a lot. Then it goes in the debug mode, but nothing happens (no matter how long I leave it alone). If I hit the Menu button, it says
*panic*
ATA: -1
Just like before the new patch was applied.
petur:
hmmm it is not seeing the CF card *at all*
is it connected correctly?
scharkalvin:
Last night I put the latest new firmware on my Gigabeat F and it seemed to solve a problem with the CF, that after loading new files I had to power cycle the battery after disconnecting the USB cable as the player locked up.
Well I was listening to some OGG files just now and all of a sudden the player froze up. After power cycling the battery I got the 'file not found' error from the boot loader. I connected the USB cable got into USB bootloader mode, and sure enough the 'rockboxgigabeat' file is missing. Fonts are gone too.
I might have a flaky CF card, but I don't have a spare to test that. Anybody seen this happen with any CF conversion (files disapearing for no reason)?
LambdaCalculus:
What brand of CF card did you use, scharkalvin? I had read that some cards may work better than others, but I can't be entirely sure of that (I've yet to mod a DAP of my own with a CF card).
scharkalvin:
I'm using the A-Data 16gb "speedy". This card has been reported to work fine with other players, especially the ipod minis.
My unit was working fine for weeks, then I loaded the new firmware with the CF "fixes" from svn. I also added more music files and rebuilt the database, so it might not be the new firmware, but FAT changes in the FS. Bad spots on the flash? Maybe I need to run scan disk or fsck after every major update to the fs (adding files)?
