iPod Nano - RAM?

<< < (2/2)

dreamlayers:
RAM size is set by tools/configure.  Look for "export MEMORYSIZE=32" in the generated Makefile.

AVT:
Thankyou! I would've definitely never found that. Line 1085 appears to have what I'm looking for:


--- Code: ---    memory=32 # always
--- End code ---

under


--- Code: ---   21|ipodnano)
--- End code ---

Now, to figure out how to build the whole thing.

edit: Found instructions on how to compile, looks like this will take some time.

edit3: Compiled. Transferring to iPod..

It sounds like you did not add the compiler to the your path.

AVT:
YES!!

Booted into it, problem gone! No more corrupted sound!

Firstly, allow me to thank everyone that helped! My iPod is now usable even with the damaged hardware.

Now, with it established that I have bad RAM, I may look into finding a replacement chip. Does anyone here by any chance know the manufacturer/model of the RAM?

Thanks again!

dreamlayers:
I'm glad to see you got it working.  You might want to leave it that way because the Nano uses flash storage, so there's probably very little penalty for accessing it more often due to a smaller buffer.  Re. the RAM IC:
