Sansa Fuze+

[gama]

Hi, Pamaury

have you managed to get the cpu frequency scaling working?.  I remeber you told me that currently rockbox doesn't change the frequency in the fuze+ and the bootloader doesn't set the maximun frequency either.  I hope that gets fixed soon .

Running ab91905-120513 (with RDS patch), RDS seems to work fine for me (tried with a local radio station).

I noticed the loud radio in the OF before too, but it seems like it's only on some stations, I'll try some stations tonight in RB. I'm always for a setting for anything. If you could add a (persistent) setting for the touchpad sensi that would be nice to.
On another note I still have nothing interms of RDS, I know one station uses it since I got it in the OF.
Small thing: can you add a hotkey or something in the radio wps to change between preset and scan modes? I don't have everything as preset.

Hi everyone,

first off great work on this port, it really gives my fuze+ a real edge and is way more usable than the OF. Thank you very much for your efforts!

I am having a few issues so far though that I couldn't find in the bug tracker (at least not the exact problem I am having).
When skipping a track, Rockbox panics with the following error:

Data abort at 60070210
FSR 0x1
(Domain0, fault 1)
address 0x00000013
bt pc: 0x60070210, sp: 0x00004A80

It is usually this error, though I have also seen this one when skipping tracks very fast:

prefetch abort at FFFFFB44
FSR 0x1
(Domain0, fault 1)
bt pc: 0xFFFFFB44, sp: 0x00004B50
bt end:

The error only occurs when skipping from a mp3 file to a flac file, but it panics very reliably if I do that. Flac -> Mp3 seems to work fine, I haven't tested OGG or WMA though. Again, it only happens when skipping. If the track changes from mp3 to flac by itself when a song ends, no problems occur.

I am using the build dd59e1d-120511, everything was tested using the internal storage of my 8GB Fuze+.

Any ideas?

same here...

I have learned to live with it for now, but...
Whenever I used to experience either this bug or FS# 12609, I used to have to manually skip from whatever song I had played the last time I willingly shut down, to what every I was player before the thing crashed/freezed. Now, it remembers where I was, regardless of whether I shut it down willingly or not.
@Pamaury: did you commit some kind of mod to force this?

[germandan]

Now, it remembers where I was, regardless of whether I shut it down willingly or not.

Yes, there must have been some sort of change, because it used to also forget all changes in the EQ settings for example when crashing. It doesn't do that anymore.
For now I'm just very conscious about what formats I have in the playlist and try to not skip tracks when the next song is a flac, which works pretty fine.

Hi all,
I have not yet found the bug causing playback crashes but thanks to rarog, we have identified that the SD not showing up on windows might be linked to the lack of device serial number. I have implemented this now so that the device reports a really unique serial and Windows should be happy with that. If some of you (not everyone) can confirm that it works or not, that would be nice.

Seems to work for me. I can see both the internal eMMC and SD card under Windows 7. It also works in bootloader mode (after updating the bootloader).

I've uploaded a precompiled Bootlader v10 with the fixes for Windows at the wiki page.

so any reason to update if you use linux?

[pamaury]

You shouldn't update the bootloader if you don't really have a problem. I'll try to do an official release including this fix and a boot menu if it's stable enough.

[sportscrazed2]

cool thanks.       

[alienkid10]

boot menu?

[pamaury]

Something new to allow to boot from either internal storage or sd. Since the internal storage seems to weak and failing for some people, this allows the device be usable even with dead internal sotrage.
