Rockbox Development > New Ports
Sansa Clip Zip
bertrik:
Rockbox on the clip zip has been working well enough for a few weeks now to use for daily playback of audio, both from the internal memory and from external microsd card.
Most plugins work, but plugins can't be enabled until *all* of them work. There are about 10 or so left to get working, mostly waiting for modification of the code and graphics to adapt it to the relatively small screen of the clip zip.
There is a patch for radio RDS, but there appears to be a bug somewhere in the skin engine that prevents the RDS station name and radio text to be updated properly.
There is no official bootloader out yet, but I think you can safely install one of the pre-built bootloaders by dfkt from the anythingbutipod forums.

Do you want me to tag and then post an official bootloader?

Plugins are enabled now, although some of them look like shit and would clearly need graphics work and/or tuning (tetris^Wrockblox and bubbles are OK but much too small)

I'd like to know if my change to use (also) left key for dualboot works for other people before doing that.
TexasRockbox:
I installed the Rockbox for ClipZip and it's very nice. Much better than Sansa's firmware. The radio works great -- can't wait for the implementation of RDS.
Observations:
The bootup looks a bit "messy" with the the multiple bootloader messages and the momentary inverted color.
Is it possible to improve upon the contrast of the displayed album art? The Clip Zip is capable of displaying a rich, colorful, dynamic picture but the current firmware settings wash the artwork out (same thing happened with the OF). The brightness setting doesn't help. There seems to be some issue with the gamma or contrast.
Thank you!
At bootup after the Rockbox logo:
data abort at 3005A1D0
FSR 0x0
(domain 0, fault address 0xA5D064
Needs a reset.
32GB microsdhc with about 5800 ogg files.
8GB Sansa Clip Zip.
If I reboot without the 32GB card, the reboot is successful, I can then reboot again with the 32GB card successfully but then the error appears on successive boots. I'll try another build (any other bootloaders?).
EDIT:
A Sandisk 16GB card (fewer files) seems to boot OK. The 32GB is a Kingston card so maybe that is the issue. Thinking about purchasing another microsdhc anyway.
EDIT:
Workaround (resolution?): set DIRCACHE to OFF.

A couple people have confirmed that the new bootloader works as expected. I guess we should tag it so that people can use rbutil.
