iPod 5.5G w/CF card - bad battery or hardware issue?

I registered, logged in and only get a blank page on the tracker.

Update:  I was able to reach the page, entered the information and submit.  The page goes blank, and I don't see it listed.

Can someone please enter a report about the ipod4G and ipodVideo using ADATA 16 and 32 Gb Compact Flash returns a ATA-1 error and won't boot.  Commenting out the DEV_RS=0x3ffdfef8 on the ipod4G allows rockbox to load.

Update: definitely a bad battery. Got a replacement 580mAh battery, did another battery bench, got 13 hours (12h 59m) out of it. Updated the iPod runtime wiki with results.

Hi Guys,

I thought I would chime in. I have patched a version to see DEV_RS / RS2 in the debug menu. The result is that DEV_RS / RS2 in the patched version or non-patched version is 0x00000000.

I do not think the removal of the DEV_RS line causes any increase in power consumption nor does it effect the power saving modules.

To check this I will do a battery benchmark test using patched and non-patched version of Rockbox using my Sandisk Extreme card (this card works without needing the patch).

I will post my findings later this week.

regards, Tarkan

Michael,
I have an IPod v5.5 with Tarkan's mod using an A-Data Speedy 32Gb.
If you can compile your own from svn, make the following change to firmware/target/arm/system-pp502x.c

[Look for your IPod type just above the lines, ex. #elif defined (IPOD_VIDEO)]
(it's the first appearance of the word VIDEO)
Remove line:
DEV_RS         = 0x3ffffef8;

once you make this change, all you have to do is compile your own, with whatever patches you want.
