I also had once the problem with the "empty list". I think the reason for this is a overwritten missing font in the memory of your Ia7. I don't remeber from where exactly, but once I got from a forum a font-file which i guess was part of an older official update. Copy this to your Iaudio7 and after a restart it will upgrade only the font part of the memory and it shows the text again:

I've only tested this with the version 1.17.

Good luck!

Hi cholero,

I'll try to install new firmware with I7_FO.bin.

I though that my IAudio was dead.

Thank you very much.

Hi there,

I was watching this players rockbox development from the beginning.
You did a great job so far, I hope there will be full support soon.

Now for the more interesting part:

I have just found out, there is a another connecting mode which i stumbled upon by chance. 

After playing with it for a while the only reproducible way to get into that mode seems to be the following:

1. Switch on the player
2. Press and hold VOL. - button for a few seconds
3. Press and hold PLAY button
4. Plug in USB-cable
5. Release PLAY button
6. Release VOL. - button

Now the player should stay on, and a little USB-sign is shown instead of battery status symbol.
 
What I found out so far:

- All functions are usable
- Device manager detects as normal, but says no driver installed,
  data can't be accessed through explorer
- Mode seems to ignore charging mode setting
- If the player stays untouched for about a minute it restores to normal
  connecting mode

I don't know wheter this is sort of a monitoring mode or just a bug, but thought it might help.

So long

I tried to run rockbox on the iAudio7. I encountered some compilation issues but they were fixed in svn. I got the bootloader to run but the lcd doesn't work (it doesn't display anything). I modified show_debug_screen from bootloader/telechips.c to blink the keypad leds and lcd backlight on button presses; so at least something works.

I tried with trunk and two older revision (r18435 and r19597) but I got the same result. I also tried both OF-1.17 and OF-1.18 (released in 2009).

I tested with a bootloader build; mktccboot to create a dual-boot image and tcctool to upload.

Device is an iAudio7 16GB model. Bottom has a model number 'CWS-iAudio7 (B)'. This might be different enough to make the lcd stop working. It would help me if someone else would test the version in trunk and check if the lcd works.

I got an iAudio 7 16gb for christmas. It's the same one as yours, CWS-iAUDIO-7(B)

Although the regular build causes mine to panic at boot (it doesn't find the partition) , making it run show_debug_screen() seems to go well.

I'm currently running r24284

On other notes, I'm probably going to be unemployed for the next 6 months until I continue my stuyding this fall, and I could probably pick up a book on C, refresh my knowledge and help a little with porting the iAudio7, as I already have some knowledge on C++ and Java and did a basic course in C a couple of years ago.
