iPod first generation install?

<< < (4/17) > >>

yapper:
If I remember correctly, the 1st Gen has a specific 'scroll-wheel-enable' bit, as the scroll-wheel used lots of power, compared to the touch wheel on the 2nd Gen - it sounds like the enable isn't being turned on (or is being pulsed but too fast for the wheel to actually enable)

I'll have a fumble around the code to see if I can spot anything to concur with my theory.

Edit: Per IPodLinux.org/GPIO, GPIOB bit 0 is the enable for the 1st Gen scroll wheel

bidmead:
Thanks, yapper.  That sounds like a plan.

Meanwhile, here, I hope is the real mbr.  Sorry for being so rusty on this.

--- Code: ---G4:~ bidmead$ dd if=/dev/disk3 of=mbr_1G.bin count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out

--- End code ---

yapper:
There is definitely stuff in button-1g-3g.c related to enabling the scroll wheel periodically, and only keeping it enabled if there is activity.

My grasp of C is insufficient to spot if there are any problems in the code, but someone else may be able to help.

Completely OT here, but, are you the Chris Bidmead that writes for Personal Computer World and PC Plus ?
