Modifying mkamsboot's dualboot.s to remove USB checks?

[router54g]

I'm trying to enable my Clip+ to boot into Rockbox when plugged in via USB.

I know nothing of assembly, but I read through the file rbutil/mkamsboot/dualboot/dualboot.S and it seems I could achieve this by completely removing lines 251 to 317.

I don't want to risk bricking my device, so could somebody confirm this for me?

Any help? I'd really like to use Rockbox again.

Did you run

Code: [Select]

make -C dualboot

from the mkamsboot directory?  If you do not run this before running make, your changes to dualboot.S will not be used.

The dualboot code is the most "dangerous" part of rockbox for AMS players. If you have no experience with assembly at all, I'd stay away from trying to modify it.

I came across another thread at http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=23755.0 that seems to suggest some success in doing exactly that. Unfortunately, much of it was over my head. Hope that helps you though.

Here is what I would do.

This will probably be committed soon if USB works fine on AMSv2.

Committed.
