Hi pwhodges,
Can you please send me the modified HEX?
I would have a go in doing what you did but I haven't a clue as I'm not into pc programing & all that sort of thing!
Regards Tom.

Hello, my H340 with 80Gb is too small now for all my FLAC files  :D

So i bough the mk2431gah and a zif converter.
inserted in H340. it works fine in direct usb: H340 booted with original firmware and i was able to get a whole partition of 240gb.

But, with rockbox for now, i cannot boot. got ata: -XX.
With the pwhodges bootloader, i don't go after voltage on boot.
I don't know if the boot loader fails in mounting partition or before.

For now, i installed cygwin, and i wait the end of compilation. i added the two line from pwhodges and the patch about car cradle which is based on 1.31K
any other ideas?
Post Merge: January 08, 2012, 03:01:25 PMHello,
With the VM i was able to build rockbox and svn backward to previous known ok bootloader: 19309.
svn update -r 19309 rockbox
I was also able to build the bootloader and install it

tools/rockboxdev.sh
11
B
make
  ../tools/descramble -iriver H300-1.29-EU.hex H300-1.29-EU.bin
 ../tools/mkboot -h300 H300-1.29-EU.bin bootloader.bin H300.bin
 ../tools/scramble -iriver H300.bin H300.hex
copy to HDD root.
boot with original firmware "REC + Play"; long press NAV ; menu General ; update firmware

It doesn't boot with mk2431GAH but it's ok to boot to the original firmware.
What's interesting is that it does not boot either on my previous HD, a MK8007GAH (ok with the 2006 bootloader or the 17607).

Keep in mind the size of the bin generated, it appears there is a limitation. I don't know what is the barrier

i added a few printf to "manually" debug.
For now, i got the call to "storage init":
rc=storage_init()
and it never comes back.
I have to boot to original firmware.
I have to go deeper to storage_init :)

Post Merge: January 09, 2012, 07:39:57 PMactivated also DEBUGF
it is ide_power_enable which hangs.
I never saw the secund printf.

void ide_power_enable(bool on)
{
printf("begin INSIDE ide_power_enable");
    if(on)
        and_l(~0x80000000, &GPIO_OUT);
    else
        or_l(0x80000000, &GPIO_OUT);
printf("END INSIDE ide_power_enable");
}
Now, i have to look if there are previous or other behaviours in svn.
Maybe it is also a function called in the wrong sequence.

I cannot help, but am interested to see how this goes, i am looking to ugrade my h340 to 240gb and would be trying to do the same thing, i hope you figure out a solution.

guzzi75:
I did it :)
it is very nasty code because i am not a dev.
Bootloader Version: r19309M-120111
Very nasty because i charge my H340 with external supply and original firmware.
So i do not use usb on start.

I deactivated the USB in bootloader.

Of course, it is still in firmware. so connection to PC is ok after boot.

My H340 boots with lcd off.
Right now, i am transferring 200GB of FLAC at 10MB/s
I am not even sure i can boot on original firmware. but it's ok for me, job is done.

So all disclaimers, no guarantee, at your own risk. But it is a very interesting challenge for oneself and understanding of fantastic job done by Rockbox developpers.


I used
svn checkout svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk -r 19309 rockbox

Mods of files:
~/rockbox/firmware/export/config-h300.h
add at the end of the file:
/* add for large LBA and sectors */
#define HAVE_LBA48
#define MAX_PHYS_SECTOR_SIZE 4096

more complicated, comment code in
~/rockbox/firmware/export/iriver_h300.c
lines may differ because i added my own comment

Do not stop the hard drive at boot, i need it :)

    Line 166    /*ide_power_enable(false);*/

line 249    /* if(charger_inserted())

to     line 341         lcd_update();
    } */

After that, usual compilation.
Maybe only the comment of the HDD shutdown is enough.
I may try in a few days. in this case, it will be lcd ON at boot.
Good luck.

unzip put H300.hex at root folder of the HDD.
Boot to the original firmware and update.

For now, already 10GB copied
