Compiling a bootloader for a Gigabeat F40?

<< < (2/2)

theglades00:
I checked the rockbox components of cygwin and they hadn't installed. Everything's working fine now. Thanks for the direction.

Now I can build but the bootloader doesn't work.   :(
When I boot the gigabeat logo shows and the progress bar gets about halfway across the screen.  The progress bar stalls and static begins to appear which then fades to white.  I'm using the source code from the daily builds page.
Any ideas as to why the bootloader doesn't build correctly or where there are files that build correctly?

nls:
The bootloaders are only tested when one is about to be released so it is very possible the bootloader source in svn si broken for gigabeat F.
If you really want to figure it out, try building the same source revision as the released bootloader was built from and make a binary search forward to find out where it broke.

I downloaded the source from April 2007 and it boots. I modified the bootloader code (removed "bootloader usb mode" section) and now I have a working Gigabeat!!  ;D Thanks for all the help
