Tatung Elio

[wolly-p]

@Smail,

the wiki might be a good starting point, in particular the howto for setting up the VMware development environment, see http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VMwareDevelopmentPlatform .

@all,

however, when I tried to compile a bootloader build from the latest daily source (2007-01-09) it stops with a missing directory error message, or - when I create that dir - a complaint about the Makefile. Any ideas what to change? Happened on above-mentioned VMware platform, other builds run through without any errors.

I've just tried building a bootloader for the Elio, and it compiled fine.  This was from a copy of the source code checked out from svn (svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox).

It's possible that the source tarball is missing some files - what was the error you got?

The current stumbling block for the port is the lack of an LCD driver.  Someone needs to do some reverse-engineering of the existing Tatung firmware and try to work out how to control the LCD.

@linuxstb,

thanks, now it works with the svn sources! Previously, I took the source tarball, and I guess that is not complete.

Hello LordOfThePings,

I finished the manual for using the Panasonix AXR 30541 connector as Audio-out and charging adapter for the Tatung Elio P722.

It'd be great if you took a moment to check which files that were missing so that we can correct this flaw.

Of course, but I'm not sure if I am on a completely wrong track here ...
I downloaded the tarball from http://download.rockbox.org/daily/source/ , and I took the last version 2007-01-09. However, the changelog since that day tells me "no changes" (?), which cannot be true when looking at the svn version. I wonder if the above is still the correct download location? Compared to the svn version the directories "bootloader", "manual", and "rbutils" were missing (detailed diff between both directory listings is attached). Hope this helps.

Hello, Im a french Elio tatung user and i try to put rockbox on it , since 3 days i search information about compiling and upgrading with rockbox.
i've found how to compile, but i dont now how to start my elio in MTP mode.
And i dont now really if, using this compiled file (from svn) is dangerous for my player because this firmware seem not to be enterly compatible is'nt it ?

And if it dosent work, could i inverse the manipulation ?
could i again start my player in MTP mode ? and replace the original file ?

Another question: did anybody will do an executable file for the tatung ?

thank
Raphy
