Rockbox Development > New Ports
Sansa Fuze+
megal0maniac:
Hey all
I'd like to contribute, but I'm not sure about how much detail I need to provide.
I got hold of a Fuze+ 8gb and rockboxed it, but it's extremely buggy.
(I'm not moaning, I want to help if I can)
Among the issues found are:
* Recording doesn't work (not implemented, known)
* FM Radio doesn't work (Debug reports no hardware or depending on RB build. Image is from current setup) Freezes when attempting to start the radio
* MicroSD card doesn't show up in Windows, but does show up in Linux regardless of settings related to hiding internal drive and HID mode. (Formatted as FAT16)
* Garbage on music playback (sometimes) Restart usually fixes it, haven't been able to pinpoint steps to reproduce. Music plays up to 50% faster when this happens, so it sounds like samples are being missed. Looks as though buffer is full when this happens, but don't have confirmation. Will create recording upon request.
* MPEG Player says "Cannot create buffering thread" upon attempt to playback video, including known supported filesWill update when I have more specific details on other problems.
Question: How difficult would it be to change the mouse HID mode to use the touchpad as an actual touchpad? Support for gestures is already implemented in the firmware.
All that needs to be done is for the relative cursor position to change depending on position on touchpad as opposed to button presses, or at least my limited knowledge leads me to think...
RE touchpad sensitivity, the touchpad works even with the cover which comes with the device. I can even make it work with my finger 1 or 2mm away.
Is the Fuze+ destined to be amongst the stable builds, or was buying one instead of the Clip Zip a stupid decision?

Those are not bug - just not fully implemented yet.
Please do read the port's page on the avancement

This has already been reported in this thread but it would be good to have a bug report as a reminder - feel free to open one there: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/index.php (don't forget the field player)

this has been reported by rarog, I do also experience it but this is very rare on my device (pehraps because I use special codec) Feel free to add a new bug report on Flyspray, I don't think that there is already one.

For what I know (not much :-X) it is a little more complicated but some work has started in this direction in order to have a proper way to test/debug gesture

All player are destined to be stable. I t just depend on the work you want to do on it...

FM RADIO
I have read the port status page, but I assumed that the FM radio simply wouldn't tune, not that it would freeze the player.
MOUNTING IN WINDOWS
The MicroSD card issue I think is different to the one in 12458. It is Windows specific and occurs both from the bootloader as well as from within Rockbox. Accessing the SD card is only possible if you hide the internal drive, it won't see both otherwise.
Both the internal memory as well as the card show up using my Clip+ on the same computer.
VIDEO PLAYBACK
Task opened here
GARBAGE AUDIO
Will look into this and open a task if necessary. Any suggestions on technical debug info to look for while experiencing this behaviour?
HID
On the HWInfo screen, one of the pages shows you exactly where your finger is on the touchpad and recognises gestures. So the information is already there, it's just a case of interpreting it correctly and sending it to a computer.
--- Code: ---while (finger down)
cursorPos = value relative to measured coords upon finger down
--- End code ---
That's how it works in my head, reality might differ...
This can't be stable soon enough :)

Yes but actually hid implementation works with button. So the way it work's now is: touchpad driver convert absolut value into virtual button, button are passed to hid. hid control mouse. For what you are talking about to work, hid need to be rewrited... and this is clearly something not that urgent because the main point of hid is for device with remote control: you plug your device and use remote to control the computer. So except to piss off your friends saying: "hey look what my rockboxed device can do!" (mandatory! ;D) I can't see no high priority in this.

If you think this is something different then please open a new bug report

no idea, pamaury is doing the core implementation on the fuze+ you might find people on the IRC that could help
metaphys:
new change today:
- pamaury add a thread that should solves the mpeg-plugin (videos)
- he also commited 2 patchs I made: 1) consistent and usuable keymaps on all plugin game
2) correct a little bug that was leading volume up key to be interpreted as power key
