Thank You for your continued support and contributions!
I noticed there is flash memory dump in wiki so if you could read flash memory could we also write something to it? I'm asking because i have broken zen that isn't switching on when hdd is plugged in. I see only creative logo then black screen and reset. I have 1,8"->usb adapter so if somebody could help me i will be pleased.
Is there a website, where progress (what is currently working, and what is not) of getting rockbox working on ZV:M is tracked?The port page http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CreativeZVMPort is too cryptic, and informations are hard to find...could anyone create and update such informations somewhere(eg. at rockbox epizenter forum)?
So I try to repeat the installation method with my own words to find hidden traps. PLEASE CORRECT ME - If I understood s.th. wrong!1. I mount the HDD of the ZVM (and mouting means realy mounting the HDD and not just using the "usb-extern-harddrive-feature" of the ZVM).2. I format the 2nd partition as fat3. I build rockbox using linux OS (using linux virtually or actually)4. I move all that compiled stuff to /mnt/what-ever/.rockbox/ on the zvm-hdd (except rockbox.zvm)5. I unmount and unconnect everything and reboot the zvm6. I copy the "rockbox.zvm"-file like I usualy copy mediafiles to the zvm7. I reboot the zvm again and rockbox should be working *tada*(8. I upload my build rockbox binarys to rockbox.org 9. I tell ppl on this board that everything worked well)Is it possible to attach a bigger 1.8"-HDD to my zvm?Anybody has any hints for dissambling the zvm without destroying the hole magic eletronic and maybe even without scratches?
Would it be possible to format the ZVM's HDD in windows xp with 010Editor, since 010 treats the ZVM like a removable disk in xp? I'm not 100% certain, but I think that 010 can read the entire disk (both partitions) as raw hex. If this is the case, how would I go about formatting the drive?
BTW did you get my mails containing the disk dump I gave you?
...about the jukebox.jrm - easy task. the MINIFS volume is like FAT and is completely FLAT. one bitmap, one clusterchain list, one directory with filenames, and the rest is for the files. volume is 20mb allways, and all the positions are constant
about the VFSYS - could you be more specific? is it a file that 'factory' puts on the drive? i dont remember such file.. or maybe this will be a file of yours? if so, where and how it will be placed? as a song? as a data file? or manually as a system file*? the first (factory) and latter (system file) makes locating the file trivial, while the 'song/data' options - result in more complex algorithms and higher data access time*) mind that there is no way to put it there except raw hexediting the drive, or writing proper tool/driver to do the same!
good, do you have any code for that laying around?
...I've looked into the CF dump you have provided - this is the same disk structure as on NJB, but contents are very different. MINIFS is 50mb instead of 20mb (thus, CFS is limited to ~72,25mb) and contains many new files. Special sectors ('/' directory!) offsets has changed and need to be revised or recalculated. Back then, I saw only MINIFS of 20mb so I assumed the offsets be constant, now its clear they are calculable somehow. It should not be a big problem, I still have many samples of old volumes. But, if you could provide a diskdump of a *different* card - ideally smaller - 64mb, 32mb - this would be a great help. Of course, if players with such cards do exist at all I'll prepare some example code by weekend.
BTW1. the CF image seems to use different endianessBTW2. where did you get the "hdd partitioning info" section from? i mean, on the wiki page. someone did a good job describing the basics, but the structures are incorrect *if* they are describing the NJB drives - including the CF dump you have provided - it matches my knowledge not theirs. Or maybe they are describing much newer drive? ZenVision's? Any dumps available for it? It'd be great if I could compare the dumps the autor was working on with mine
