I know this is a little off topic but i'm not too sure where else to put it.

I have recently put rockbox on my fuze+ and am wondering how to access the files on my SD card. I have read that support for the SD slot just recently got implemented so I'd like to be able to use mine as i really hate the original fw on the device and the only reasons i use it anymore are for the radio and SD access

Sandisk MicroSDHC 8GB

what else is there to say? it doesn't show up in System -> Debug -> View disk info or System -> Debug -> View partitions

help?

It shows up in System -> Rockbox Info.
Use Files -> <MMC1> to access the SD contents.

Strange. My 32GB Kingston works fine with revision r31450.
What revision are you using ? Have you tried building the latest source from SVN ?

[JaySeeJC]

I'm using the latest source. just compiled last night.The only thing i didn't compile locally was the bootloader. I downloaded the v6 this morning after seeing it was upgraded. would that make any difference?
The only other thing i can think of is that the hardware is a little beaten up. but the card works perfectly with the original firmware...

[buckminster]

Are you sure that the bootloader installed? Is there still a firmware.sb at the root of the fuze+? Did you see the Sansa "Updating Fuze+" screen?

[alienkid10]

Is there still a WPS hotkey? (SVN update list makes it look like no.) If not why still have a menu item? If yes what is it?

[metaphys]

the wps hotkey is still availlaible (long press on bottom right)
the tree hotkey has been removed
what do you call menu item?

[alienkid10]

settings menu item for the file browser hotkey is still setable even though it's gone.

[metaphys]

ah yeah I don't think I can get it out
Post Merge: December 29, 2011, 09:24:49 PMthose interrested on having volume while keys are locked should have a look at the patch I made:
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/12495

It's pretty out of the rockbox's standarts, so it probably never be in the tree, you will have to compile to use it
Post Merge: December 29, 2011, 09:27:39 PMminor update on the bootloader - V7: print its version on boot

[JaySeeJC]

Are you sure that the bootloader installed? Is there still a firmware.sb at the root of the fuze+? Did you see the Sansa "Updating Fuze+" screen?

I am 100% certain the bootloader installed. the firmware.sb was deleted from the root and i saw the "Updating Fuze+" screen. I'll try installing the v7 firmware when I get home on sunday.

[alienkid10]

Will the BL be updated if Sandisk ever releases a new firmware version for Fuze+ so it has the latest OF? (I know not a concern to many.)

[metaphys]

I don't think that I will release bootloader anymore. Rockbox Utility is ready to patch whatever Original Firmware they will release with the RockBox bootloader.
All we need is to have RockBox bootloader on the server. That could take a week because the people managing the server seems to be in holidays. Manual is almost ready

Just to avoid confusion: this is not entirely correct. While it's a prerequisite to have the bootloader on the download server for Rockbox Utility to install it we also need to get the installation support into Rockbox Utility in -- currently it's a patch on the tracker. I'll try to get around doing this soon, but as of now neither the latest released Rockbox Utility nor an svn version could do the installation.
