iPod mini Battery Question

(1/4) > >>

Proxy:
Has the CPU clocking been worked on yet? I've searched around and I have no idea what the state of the iPod mini is at this point. Most information is outdated, looking through the recent changelogs didn't really help and I'm not sure if the rockbox hour meter is accurate on the iPod. Please help, thanks.

scorche:
What specifically in regards to "CPU clocking" are you concerned about?

If you are asking "Does the battery runtime estimate produce an accurate estimate?", then the answer is no, it doesn't at the moment.

Proxy:
I read mostly that its clocked at the maximum for stability reasons. Has this been optimized yet?

Thanks, I suspected as much.

pixelma:
I think you mean the "frequency scaling" bug, where changing the CPU frequency (to save power) caused freezes on targets with a specific portalplayer chip (1st gen Mini was one of them). And some just disabled this frequency scaling which made Rockbox stable but the processor always ran at top frequency.

This has been fixed over half a year ago.

Proxy:
It has? Does that mean rockbox now runs longer than the stock firmware?
