Philips Gogear SA9200
gevaerts:
If I read those instructions correctly, it seems like the easiest way to simplify installation would be to have USB support in the bootloader.
LambdaCalculus:
Yes, we need to whittle down the number of steps to get Rockbox installed. If I'm also reading the instructions correctly, then we need to also have the bootloader applied sooner.

Why is not possible to make the dual boot for SA? When the 16MB partition is visible in the recovery mode we can write the Rockbox bootloader, just like in case of any other PP, no? This recovery mode is similar to any other UMS mode in the PP original bootloaders (targets with the HDD), so installation would be similar like in case of Iriver H10, or PB Vibe, or whatever.

I'm sure we could possibly make the bootloader on the SA9x00 series dual-boot between Rockbox and the OF, but no one's bothered working on that yet. We could work on the bootloader code and implement that functionality in, or just leave it and let Rockbox completely take over the OF on this device, like I had mentioned regarding the HDD63x0 as well.

Actually I doubt that. It sounds closer to the recovery mode in the PP sansas, i.e. a ramdisk-based filesystem that doesn't have any OF code on it.
