USB working on Sansa AMSv2
icheyne:
Thanks bluebrother, I used it with no problems. I just plugged in my switched-off Clip+ and Rockbox started. 8)
I suppose now you can remove the requirement for the original firmware?

You don't need to use the OF for USB, but its always physically present on the device.
icheyne:
That's my point. Why have the OF if you are not going to use it? The Rockbox Utility demands an OF and now I do not think it is necessary.

Because we need it to install rockbox.

If you know better, feel free to post code for an install method that eliminates such unnecessary steps.
megal0maniac:
The OF is required for building the bootloader, not because it is assumed that you might need the OF at some stage.
Removing it would be way more work than it's worth. The OF resides somewhere other than the flash memory, so you wouldn't even gain the space which it takes up.
Besides, you don't have to install the bootloader that often, do you?
