Help with X20 ARM programming

(1/5) > >>

keenox:
Hello! I played a little with my X20 firmware and the Insignia firmaware and i managed to flash my iriver with the insignia firmware, but it has no sound :( (more details here) so i switched back to iriver and played a little with it. can someone help me with a good arm editor/compiler, so i can view/modify the iriver firmware? some good arm asm tutorials would also be good as i have never programmed in asm... thank you!

Llorean:
Rockbox isn't about modifying the original firmware. Please, questions for helping to modify other firmwares don't really belong here.

keenox:
hmm... aren't we supposed to modify the firmware in order to make a working bootloader for rockbox???

Llorean:
Rockbox bootloaders are written as stand alone programs. The original firmware isn't modified, usually a case is set up where the Rockbox bootloader is run *instead* of the original firmware, then it may launch the original.

keenox:
i thought that using the original firmware as a starting point is easier for writing a bootloader... you said that the original firmware may be run after the bootloader. what is this useful for? isn't rockbox supposed to replace the original os? i was planning to modify/rewrite the original firmware in order to make a bootloader as a base for porting.  :-\
