H10 5GB hardware buttons not working anymore

Hello.

I am having this issue with my player where Rockbox boots but none of the hardware buttons except the power button work anymore. They used to work one week ago but now, without any software change, they've stopped working.

Where it gets strange is that if I boot it while holding down the back button to revert to the original firmware, all the buttons work with the original firmware. So, this would likely indicate the the hardware is fine and that there is a problem with my rockbox install.

I tried reinstalling to no avail.

One more thing of interest : this player has been modified, I added a physical line in in place of the remote connector near the headphone plug and the bottom connector has been completely removed and a mini-usb connector has been put in it's place. I doubt any of these things have anything to do with my issue as it used to be working fine last week.

Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks!

The other buttons still do not work.

Edit : I switched out the scroll strip with that of another H10 player, same thing.

So, as far as I can tell, the buttons are mecanically sound, but Rockbox does not register them, or does not boot far enough to initialize them. Does this make any sense?

stanelie:
I just restored the original bootloader and firmware, and then reinstalled a fresh rockbox bootloader and rockbox build (yesterday's build).

Same thing : the keys work with the original firmware, but they don't with rockbox (aside from the power key).

Any ideas?

Chronon:
It sounds like the same problem as here:

stanelie:
Maybe the scroll strip is only a little bit messed up, not enough that the original firmware would complain, but enough for Rockbox to think that it is depressed.

I just ran a test on the H10 20gb that I also have, if I hold down the scroll script while I boot, I have the exact same symptoms : all buttons are non-functional except the power button!

I was having this issue too with the H10 20gb scroll strip in place of the H10 6Gb's one. Maybe Rockbox is too sensitive?

So, is there a way to make the scroll strip less sensitive in the Rockbox code? Where can I find the specific source code that has to do with the H10 scroll strip?

Should I file a bug report?

My problem looks similar, but it looks a bit different as I can use my power button under rockbox.

So, trying to verify that my scroll strip is indeed the problem (or the reading of it's value), I tried commenting out

/* Read scroller */
   if ( GPIOD_INPUT_VAL & 0x20 )
   {
   GPIO_CLEAR_BITWISE(GPIOD_OUTPUT_VAL, 0x40);
   udelay(250);
   data = adc_scan(ADC_SCROLLPAD);
   GPIO_SET_BITWISE(GPIOD_OUTPUT_VAL, 0x40);

   if(data < 0x224)
   {
   btn |= BUTTON_SCROLL_DOWN;
   } else {
   btn |= BUTTON_SCROLL_UP;
   }
   }

from the rockbox/firmware/target/arm/iriver/h10/button-h10.c file. It did not work, I still cant use the other buttons.

Any other ideas?

Also, how do I build without building the plugins each time? I find it very time consuming to wait 5 minutes for make to finish every time I change one thing... I'm sure there is a better way.

Post Merge: April 13, 2011, 10:49:33 AMOk, turns out I don't have to do a ../tools/configure every time I want to build.

This is a lot faster.

Edit : nope, my changes are not applied if I do that. I have to do a configure after all... :(
