Feedback about RockBox compatibility with IPod Accessories
AlexP:
OK, I added you.
As to helping, then you could either try reverse engineering or sniffing the traffic. I don't think there is any way to help without getting your hands dirty.
chrisTomcat:
Hi!
Thank you, I'll add the info to the wiki...
Well, I think it's quite easy to log the incoming requests of the interface in RockBox, write them to a file and provide them here....
Is there any way to read the communication when the IPod runs on apple firmware without using a logic analyzer and going very deep into eletronics?
Creposucre:
Does the syncing logo shows up when you connect the ipod to your hardware under the apple firmware?
chrisTomcat:
Hi!
There's a logo (but I do not remember which one right now) and the text "it is safe to disconnect" or the like.
I have some problems with my IPod at the moment (seems to be the harddisk, I think I have to make use of the vendor guarantee). That's why I am happy, if the IPod works at all and I do not make any experiments. RockBox is not installed at the moment.
Creposucre:
Then your remote kit uses the apple protocol over USB.
It can't work with Rockbox since only the apple protocol over serial is used here...
Your best bet is to look into the rockbox code to understand it, then try to sniff the USB packets with a usb analyzer and write the handling code...
