RB/OF loading with USB on Fuze
funman:
Note the behaviour that makes Fuze (and all Sansa AMS) boot OF when USB is plugged while the device is off, is unlikely to change anytime soon (It's a critical feature considering that those devices can't be unbricked)
Though an option to ask the user before rebooting (when device is already running rockbox) might be cool
llhell:
Well, I must admit, that was fairly easy to do :) the hard part was probably getting svn to work properly...
Now upon connecting USB to the fuze, RB just goes into charging mode! I'm so happy ;D
And if the select button is pressed while connecting - the OF loads. this is just awsome!
Now I just need to figure out how to add that functionality to the settings menu so it'll be user controlled...
;D
Rodigol:
On my side I've been "trying" to use RB on my Sansa Fuze since a while, but I have the same issue/comment about the default behavior of USB and OF loading.
I must say: for typical car usage (at least), I really think that booting OF when USB is plugged in for charging is not a good default functionality, and I really think (and I agree with llhell) that an option should be added to revert/invert the default behavior.
This is the only thing preventing me from using RB day to day in my car with my Fuze.
llhell: It seems you changed the code to "fix" this? I would be interested to see/get it...
It would nice if this change/option is included in future release of RB, maybe this could be added to an option in the .cfg file...
;D
Also, some people (like me) never use the USB cable for file transfer except for updating firmware; I prefer to just take the micro SD card and swap it with another one and use a card reader to load music. In fact my Sansa Fuze stays in my car all the time.

You should probably scroll up and read funman's post. Booting from poweroff is something else entirely on the Fuze, and its not handled by rockbox but rather by the firmware patching tool mkamsboot.
Rodigol:
Thanks for pointing this.
I am just surprised that RB has a Car Adapter Mode option but something is missing to make it actually usable...
I still think it would be worth the effort to also improve the firmware patching tool and/or the bootloader if this is what is needed.
