Which bootloader for iRiver H1x0/H3x0 - 120 GB SSD mod

<< < (2/3) > >>

AlexP:
I was replying to your "Wouldn't it be possible to dig out the last stable version of bootloader, or 7pre4 (which seems to be OK)?" - I took this to mean isn't it possible to find out when it broke.  If you didn't mean that, I don't know what you meant.  I haven't heard of any problems with 7pre4, and I use it myself.

monoid:
OK, I understand now. 7pre4 seems to be stable and not causing problems.

If so, is not it possible to make it official and stable version and provide source code?

I understand, it might be difficult to find the problem in post 7pre4 bootloader versions. I understand developers do it as a hobby and for free and that maybe there is currently no developer eager to invest his time into this task. But maybe if 7pre4 is taken as a start point someone new might continue in development, if needed.

But is it needed to develop new features? It seems to me 7pre4 has all one would dream of. (I do not know how big disks are supported in it)

H1x0 is very old but unique in having optical in/out. And it is old good piece of hardware. Hard to find something comparable at all or at least for affordable price.

Anyway I thank very much to all developers of the RockBox project! And special thanks for H1x0 and Sansa Fuze+ ports. :)

AlexP:
The source for 7pre4 is in the git repository, but I don't know which version it was built from.

It isn't even so much no developer eager to invest their time, as there is no developer currently active with the specialist kit needed to be able to search for the problem.

monoid:
I see.

So, I tried my 120 G SSD disk with bootloader 6. It is formated and RockBox folder and few mp3 files saved to it.
I received ATA -11. When I started again with USB cable, OF started and H120 mounted in PC as another disk. It was possible to see the files and folders. But when disconected from PC it hang up showing Disconected and Check Used Space. End the red HDD light is continuously on. Already for 5+ minutes (the disk is almost empty I did not put there much mp3s).

It is not possible to stop it. So it seems, I wil have to wait till battery goes off. It is full, now. :-(

I hope the problem is not in the disk, and bootloader 7pre4 will make it work...

AlexP:
You can reset the H120 using the reset button on the bottom (stick something small and thin in the hole).
