iPod first generation install?

<< < (6/17) > >>

Dindojul:
Earlier rev of 16659 doesn't work due to the low battery detection/shutdown problem...
So, with rev 16659 and 16673 the wheel doesn't work.

yapper:
It looks like the dynamic scrollwheel enable code for the 1G was added back in August 2007 r14386, so it seems a bit odd that no one has reported issues up to now (although I suspect there may be only a few Rockbox users with 1G iPod). Prior to r14383 it appears the scrollwheel was left permanently enabled.

It *might* be that the scrollwheel behaves slightly differently across the different versions of the 1G iPod??? http://iPodLinux.org/Generations lists three values of gestalt ('IPOD_HW_REVISION' in Rockbox terms) for the 1G: 0x00010000, 0x00010001, or 0x000100002, and the Rockbox code doesn't differentiate between them regarding scrollwheel enable....??

Dindojul:
Is there any way to use an earlier version... is it possible to disable the battery check with an option in the config file by example?

yapper:
@Dindojul:
I have PM'ed you (and bidmead) with details of a test build that may allow the scrollwheel to work. This is NOT an official build, so is not officialy supported, but it may allow Rockbox to boot sufficiently to give some clues about the problem.

Edit:
The test build should have removed the two changes that implemented powersaving for the 1G scrollwheel. Dindojul has reported that this did NOT help.

bidmead:
Alas, no change here either.  The scroll-wheel still isn't being read.

For what it's worth, here's the gen on my 1G iPod (from Mac OSX System Profiler)

  Unit Software Version:   0x10483
  Unit Spec ID:   0x609E
  Firmware Revision:   0xA2700
  Product Revision Level:   1.33
