Backlight Problem Sansa Clip+ 4GB

<< < (2/2)

bertrik:
The OLED controller code that is currently in SVN is basically the code for the clip v1 OLED controller, with only the minimal changes to make it work for newer clip+ displays. I did notice that in the original firmware there is a different display controller init sequence with many more changes.

We could try to use the exact init sequence from the original firmware. It probably takes a while before I'll work on this though.

I just bought a new Sansa Clip+ 8GB, and Rockbox 3.7.1 seems to work fine so far.

I found this thread the day after I ordered it, so I was worried that Rockbox wouldn't work. When the player arrived, I charged it, played some songs with the original firmware to get a feel for it, then installed the latest diagnostic firmware ("clppt.bin") and checked the HW Info page. Mine said the same thing as nver's:


--- Code: ---[HW Info]
RDA 5802       F4
COMBO4E
--- End code ---

I tried installing Rockbox anyway, and I haven't had any problems with it yet. I spent some time going through the menus, listened to the radio, tried out a bunch of plugins, and played some music (including NSFE, SPC, and ADX files)--all without display problems, crashes, or noticeable heat. I've only had the player for half a day, though. I'll post here again if anything changes.

Is there any other information I could provide that would be useful?

By the way, when I installed Rockbox, I told it to use my renamed firmware file ("clppt.bin"), but when I dual-boot to the original firmware, there's no diagnostic menu. Is there a way I can dual-boot to the diagnostic firmware?

You probably have to do a manual install to do that.
