Ingenic Jz4740/Jz4732 players

[Gametot]

Hello mcuelenaere

I'm not, I hope you can help me.
I have rockbox for the VX747 + Compiling.
Have it on the microSD card copied.
But what should I do the manual leads me nowhere.
I got the firmware 1.0 from vx747p downloaded.
And what should I do now?

Thanks

How to upload the Rockbox bootloader to NAND

Compile the bootloader
Download the Original Firmware (OF) package (called VX747.HXF or SG301.HXF; vx777.HXF for the VX777)
Compile HXFreplace in utils/jz4740_utils/ (read the README)
Run ../utils/jz4740_utils/HXFreplace VX747.HXF output.HXF ccpmp.bin in the dir where you compiled your bootloader
Put output.HXF in the root of the NAND drive (boot into the OF as Rockbox currently can't access the NAND storage) and name it SG301.HXF (or VX747.HXF on some targets)
Reset your player while holding VOL DOWN (on the VX777 you don't need to hold any buttons)
If you want to have dual-boot capabilities:

Run HXFsplit VX747.HXF output/ and copy output/ccpmp.bin to the root of your SD card
(The bootloader will boot into the OF (loaded from ccpmp.bin from the SD card) when you switch the HOLD switch on, it will boot into an USB mode when pressing VOL UP and if nothing is pressed it will boot Rockbox from the SD)

If I HXFreplace compile the following error message

daniel@linux:~/jz_xloader/jz4740$ make

@Gametot here is HXFreplace compiled. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?hbza2njkkm2

@mcuelenaere
A patch for RockboxUtility support is on the patch tracker atm.

How would one use the above mentioned patch?
It's a diff file. Do I recompile the utility? Sorry that I'm confused
Thanks in advance for your response

I can now make no photo

When compiling you chose number 122 for the vx747+ correct?
If you did, I would then assume the plus model uses a different lcd screen (cheaper version) I use Ubuntu to do my Compiling.
I followed the instructions posted here http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SimpleGuideToCompiling
Hope this helps.

Yes I have done everything as stated in the manual described.


The Boodloaderscreen is displaying correctly but then when I insert the SDKarte rockbox and invite these errors. So it may be also involved in the subject Compiling version.

I never could get it to work with the 777 firmware. Worked great with the 747 firmware hmm go figure

Could you give me a link for this particular firmware?

There's no need to literally copy what's described in the wiki

You'll need to apply the patch to an SVN checkout and then recompile RockboxUtility, see RockboxUtilityDevelopment for more info about compiling RBUtility.

I'm planning to commit this though.

Could you take a picture of how it looks like?
Did you compile this build yourself? And did you got Rockbox working before?


edit:
In other news, I got software volume control (partly) working; so expect a commit for that soon

So I already have experience in compiling.

Here's a video and screenshots.

Thanks for you help

It looks like the LCD is inited for landscape mode instead of portrait mode.
Are you compiling from a clean SVN checkout? (there is an option to compile in landscape mode)

If so, try adding #define USB_BOOT to autoconf.h and recompile.

Today was a busy bug hunting day :
 * fixed Doom
 * fixed the bug that made Rockbox crash on some music files with ID3V1 genre tags
 * added software volume control (now you can finally lower the volume

I tried version 1.0

[Gametot]

Could it be the lcd driver Bugy something is?
At my Onda VX747 + is sometimes simply the display is dark when it is tapped.
Only after a few seconds, it lights up briefly and then go back to normal.

This screen blank problem also happened to my Onda VX747, I guess it comes from the LCD driver in rockbox. Try to adjust the brightness to 15 not 16. This method solve it. Hope it helps.
