Rockbox Development > New Ports
Tatung Elio
linuxstb:
The build system uses the command:
../tools/scramble -mi4v2 bootloader/bootloader.bin pp5020.mi4
to create a firmware image. This works fine for me on my TPJ1022.
Alternatively, you could download mi4code.c from http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/mi4code.html and compile it and put it somewhere in your PATH, and then use the mkmi4.sh script as follows:
../tools/mkmi4.sh h10_5gb bootloader/bootloader.bin pp5020.mi4
If that doesn't work, you will need to experiment with the various options to mi4code
EDIT:
After talking to Bagder, it seems almost certain that you've got a "v3" bootloader. So try the following command:
../tools/scramble -mi4v3 bootloader/bootloader.bin pp5020.mi4
LordOfThePings:
Ok, I really have a v3 bootloader, using the scramble command with -mi4v3 works. The resulting file is accepted by the player. After the bootloader loads the .mi4, the player seems to hang, it does not write anything to the disk, and does not reboot when pressing the FF button.
Should I test any new versions in the cvs, or wait until you get the LCD working (I doubt I can really help you...) ?

Please, I need help!!!
I have the elio photo jukebox, which I think is the same as tatung. The thing is that the firmware wasnt working well, it didnt show me any file except for the photos.
So I went into the official site and downloaded the firmware that is there. I installed but it doesnt work!!!!!!! =(
It says: "File loaded failed", and then "Operating system is not found!".
And the support never answers, so I dont know what to do, im desperate!!
If you know what to do please answer here or to: celi89@gmail.com
Thank you!!!! and sorry for my english =P

Hello,
I´m new here and I have some questions. LordOfThePings wrote, that he knows how to open the Elio. Can You give a detailed instruction for this? I want to know which kind of akku is used in the Elio, because I think I need a new one.
Has anyone a shematic of the Elio?
I want to connect it to my car for listening music and charging. For this I have ordered two connectors from Panasonic. I think this is the right one.
The part number is AXR30541.
If there is a dockingstation there must be an audio-out on the connector of the Elio and i will try to find out.
Thank You,
Mario

Hi,
as I said, it is very difficult to open it without breaking/damaging at least some of the clamps. If you look at the side/back of the player, you will see its back is made of different plastic (the front is shiny, the back isn't). You can insert a knife at the corner, but do not cut too deep, or you will damage the clamps. It is very tightly hold together (and you will not get it back to fit that exact), so you need quite some pressure to get it open. I used two flat screwdrivers and the knife, and worked from the corners on (the upper-left one, when viewed with the back facing you, seems to be the easiest one to get started). When you get to open all the clamps, you can remove the back (slowly, as the battery is fixed to it)
You can find some photos of the back here:
http://www.dboys.de/lord/elio
The QC sticker is in the lower-right(left from the outside) corner (just to show the orientation, you can perhaps avoid breaking clamps when looking at the pictures first)
I cannot give you useful details about the battery itself, mine does only have a barcode on it and I did not find anything on the number printed there. (ABC4C6207711111)
I also do not have schematics for the player, all the info I had collected is(was?) in the wiki, which is apparently offline, but I had no pinout for the connector anyways... It has to have at least some pins for charging and audio-out. If you have an oscilloscope, try plugging in the spare connector and measure the signals there (you do not have to open your player that way).
Good luck opening your elio,
LordOfThePings
PS: don't forget to post your findings on the connectors, etc here
