Hello,

Ihave a IAudio 7 and I’m very interesting in Rockbox support on it.

Yesterday I compiled sources from svn and after solve some problems, some plugins didn’t compile, I got one Rockbox.zip and Rockbox.bin.
First, I tried to unzip Rockbox.zip on to IAudio and copy Rockbox.bin but IAudio didn’t recognize new firmware and I decided to rename Rockbox.bin to I7_FW.bin. Then I turn off and turn on, and IAudio seems to install new firmware. But after reboot it nothing have been changed. After I turn off another time and it won’t turn on, :-(
I have tried to push the reset button but nothing happens, any light turn on, :-(. And Windows and Linux doesn’t recognize as usb disk.
Anyone know how I can restore or reset it ?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you much.

Hi!

For now the best way to go is to use, bootloader that will run rockbox if hold button is pressed, see D2 wiki for more info.

How to restore OF: upload OF using tcctool, then copy I7_FW.BIN to player, then reset player, and upload OF again. It will write OF to the flash.

Thanks Vitja,

I've done your steps and OF seems to be restored but when I start show "empty lists" all texts have been dissapear and all user interface are "strange". I don't understand.

Then I have tried another time to upload rockbox firmware.

I generate bootloader and I upload with tcctool, and it seems to install. When I start IAudio7, it shows a list with two items but without text, :-( so I don't know what are ask me. I suppose that it is asking me to start OF or Rockbox firmware. But I never get to start rockbox firmware. There is only one way to start Rockbox firmware, pressing Hold button and plugin it by usb into computer, then it starts. But if I disconnect and turn off, after if I try to turn on, IAudio7 shows me another time a list with two items without text, :-(.

Do you know what I do wrong ? Is there any tutorial or documentation specific for IAudio7 ? Excuse me for my english, I hope you understand me.

Thank you very much.

Hi!


I have same problem with OF: after flashing bad firmware OF doesn't work as expected. Now I can play music with rockbox only, while OF still can handle usb uploads.  If you want to flash rockbox the better way now is to create dual-boot fw with mktccboot tool:


--- Code: ---../tools/mktccboot I7_FW.BIN bootloader/bootloader.bin I7_FW-dual-boot.BIN

--- End code ---

And flash I7_FW-dual-boot.BIN

The Sansa c100 reacts similarly (no strings) when you flash the wrong firmware version.  Perhaps there are multiple models/versions of the iAudio7 as well?
