Rockbox Development > New Ports
Sansa Fuze+
pamaury:
Hi all,
I finally wrote the tool to build the bootloader image. The tool is called mkimxboot and instructions are written on the SansaFuzePlusPort page on the wiki. There is no support yet in Rockbox Utility so unfortunately this means you need to get the source and compile it. I hope to add Rockbox Utility support for it soon.
Please note that this is all very preliminary so do it at your own risks. If you follow the procedure from the wiki, please tell me if anything is wrong or unclear or doesn't work as expected. The IRC channel is best for discussing issues instead of polluting this thread. Thanks in advance.
Finally note that the wiki does not include the instructions on how to remove the bootloader yet.

It works I've been able to start! Well I guess next step for me is to learn how to actually use it! ;D Thanks very much for this!

I try to set the timer select is the middle of the cross on the touchpad, and revert is the upper left button ? But how to change the item ? I tryed the different direction, it just change the selected item without any possibility to change the item itself ?? I must be missing a key ...

I fail to build at this step:
--- Code: ---./mkimxboot -i sandisk-firmware.sb -b bootloader-fuzeplus.sansa -o firmware.sb -t dualboot
--- End code ---
It tells me following:
--- Code: ---[INFO] mkimxboot models:
[INFO] Fuze+: idx=0 rb_model=fuz+ rb_num=72
[INFO] mkimxboot mapping:
[INFO] md5sum=c3e27620a877dc6b200b97dcb3e0ecc7 -> idx=0
[INFO] MD5 sum of the file: E8 24 AB 3B AE E9 9D F6 57 6E 52 E6 F5 B6 EF 7D
[ERR] MD5 sum doesn't match any known file
Result: -4
--- End code ---
I'm using the firmware.sb with version 02.36.03.
EDIT:
I'm an idiot, I don't know why I took not the latest firmware download. :D Everything works now.
pamaury:
Just in response of this post, you need to download the latest sandisk firmware (2.38.6). Other versions might (and will probably) work but we only add support for them if there has been some confirmation that it works. I can't see any reason not to use the latest version of the OF so I only added support for the latest one, BUT if you have a good reason to stay with an older one, I can test it and add it to the tool.
Rarog:
No, the reason was just, that I opened the older url from firefox cache. Then I decided to look into the code and noticed, that md5 is for newer version then the one I downloaded. (facepalm.jpg) Of course I have the newer version 2.38.6 installed.
Post Merge: November 06, 2011, 07:22:59 PMOk, another question, i flashed the firmware, now I just have gray screen. It seems, that i did boot into the non-existent rockbox, I connected the fuze and copied the folder .rockbox to my Fuze+, but I don't know how to restart it, so it would boot. It doesn't seem to react to 15 seconds holding down the power button. Do I have to wait, until the Fuze shuts itself down?
Post Merge: November 06, 2011, 07:25:58 PMHm... Strange. Seems it was off, as I can boot the original firmware now, but I don't see, why it didn't load the rockbox firmware previously. I will wait, till the original firmware hast read the SD card and will try to reboot and see what happens.
Post Merge: November 06, 2011, 07:28:19 PMHm... Still grey screen when I try to boot in rockbox mode.
