Sansa c250 v2 Not Recognised

[sqgl]

v2 of the Sana c250 player is not even listed as an option
(let alone recognised when I plug it in).
Even though the port (for c200 series v2) has been completed according to...
http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaAMS

rbutil doesn't work with the c200v2 yet.

Nobody gotten around to it yet or is manually installing being deliberately discouraged for now because of some instability/brick issues (even though there don't appear to be any from what I can see on that page I gave the URL for)?

I can deal with a manual install as long it is recommended.

IIRC I committed support for c200v2 already so next release (1.2. should support it.

Or just get a SVN binary (read the sticky post in this forum), however they date from June so I'm not sure if c200v2 support was added already

Ah yes, thanks, it says "unstable"; I did read that not long ago. The table does not mention stability (perhaps  add a column to the table for stability status?).

I still cannot get my sansa c250 v2 to recognize either. Has status not changed?

Theres a c200v2 option for me, so I think it has.  What happens if you select it?

That doesn't really help. Can you answer saratoga's question?

Click the check box.  Does it work then?

@evilnick: I'm sorry, I thought a picture of the fact there was no option explains how I couldn't have answered the question.

@saratoga: The only new target is the m200v4. Also, it's kinda weird that the program always says there's a new version, which shows up as the current version. Selecting my device in the filesystem does not make anything else change either. I've also tried compiling the latest svn of rockbox utility(after fixing an issue with filename changes from .qm to .ts) and I didn't notice the c200v2 listed there either.

This sounds like you're using the 64bit version of Rockbox Utility on Linux. There is a known bug in the update version check that triggers this behaviour, but it's specific to 64bit Linux only.

I've also tried compiling the latest svn of rockbox utility(after fixing an issue with filename changes from .qm to .ts) and I didn't notice the c200v2 listed there either.

There is no issue with "filename changes". The translations use ts as source filename and qm after lrelease "compiles" them into a format Qt understands. This is automatically done when building static binaries (it will still show a warning but that's not a problem). If you're building a dynamically linked binary you need to do that yourself, or simply ignore it -- in that case you just won't get translations. As dynamically built binaries read the translation files from disk anyway (and they aren't copied to the correct location for that to work simply because it doesn't matter much for development) you shouldn't get an error about missing resources.

However, there is a bug in Rockbox Utility. To fix the issue add the following line to rbutil.ini in the [platforms] section:

Code: [Select]

platform59=sansac200v2

Then the c200v2 will show up in the selection dialog. Or update that file from svn, I've just fixed this.

@bluebrother: Thanks for your quick help. I've never used translation parts of qt, so I didn't know what the files were. (just made that change to get it to compile with qmake.) Using lrelease fixed that misunderstanding.  Added that bit to the ini and that caused it to show.
