Missing peripheral's support in RB?

Probably the best way to reverse engineer the protocol for a specific accessory is to use a passthrough cable which can connect between the iPod and the accessory, so that a host PC can watch the serial communication, and then boot the original firmware on the iPod and observe the communication as you use the accessory.

There are such devices around, if you google a bit. If people did this with their accessories and wrote up the results in as much detail as possible, then it would be quite possible for someone else to look at this data and determine many more facts about the protocol than we currently know. :)

Hello,

you might want to test the patch FS10494 for your FM remote. FS10623 will hopefully make work your bluetooth thing.

You'll find under the task 10494 a single patch for both.

I will try to commit the FM remote part as soon as possible but I am cleaning some things for the moment.

If you want a zip for test purposes, I can provide it  :)

Well, it seems that I funally MUST learn how to apply patches to RB. Could someone point me to the detailed step-by-step manual please? I would like to try the patch from the previous post, but have no any single idea what (and how) must I do to test it....Just never do that while using RB. ::)
