Clip+ restarts in original firmware

[miloxo]

Sorry if this a stupid question, but im completely new to rockbox.
Sooo, I installed rockbox on my clip+ and i found i simply genius. So no complaints there.

But when I connect the Clip+  to the PC and then remove it, it boots in its original firmware..
Is there a known solutions for this?

Write a USB driver for your player so that you don't have to use the OF for it.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what OF is or how to write a usb driver

Original Firmware.  If you're not writing a USB driver, you'll have to wait for someone else to do it.

You end up in the original firmware because Rockbox does not have its own USB mode for this player.  Rockbox detects USB insertion and boots the SanDisk firmware so that it will handle the USB session.  At the end of the session you are left in the original firmware.  As saratoga says, this can only be changed by adding USB functionality for this player so that booting the OF is no longer necessary.

To sum it up:

- this is intentional.
- the reason for this is that the port for the Clip+ is not finished yet. It's simply some missing feature.

By the way, this question is not related to Rockbox Utility in any way. Moving this thread.

Minor detail:
If you can detect USB power without data pins THEN skip going to OF. That would be nice.
When powering the player while connected to the charger it loads the OF unnecessarily.

You should be able to hold Select while inserting the cable to prevent it from rebooting and just have it charge.
