256GB mSATA SSD for iPod 5g/5.5g - possible with current release of Rockbox?
[Saint]:
Thank you for your contribution beyondwind, much appreciated.
In order to greatly increase the odds of this submission making it into the repository, you should put up this patch on the gerrit review system. The wiki can assist you in setting up git to use gerrit should you need it.
You could also consider promoting the binary via the Unsupported Builds section of the forum.

That is great news. Thanks beyondwind.
So does that mean, that rockbox works now on the iPod 5/5.5th gen. with mSATA SSDs and mSATA to ZIF adapters in general, or only with the crucial m500 SSDs? Which adapt or did you use beyondwind?
There have been some heat issues reported when using a mSATA SSD and the adapt or? Is this still being true?
Greetings,

I would love to add Rockbox to my mSATA ZIP adapted ipod video 5.5g.
I tried to install rockbox, got that ATA -11 error. Then I tried searching the forums, and I found this thread.
And literally the day I installed the mSATA, and got it restored with apple's OF. Its fine for now, but I REALLY
would die to have rockbox on this... Then I found beyondwind's post, and was floored that somebody figured
it out the day I tried to find a solution!
But the bad news is, I cant get it to work :(
Scratch that, I was able to install by restoring the ipod after the error to original ipod firmware. Then I downloaded the rockbox ulitity, ran just the bootloader install, and used your .rockbox zip instead of trying to "overwrite" the existing installed rockbox. Worked like a charm!
Thanks beyond!!!

I download your files but I don't know how to use the file ipod5g_msata_mod.patch.
What should I do to make this patch file to my ipod video?
[Saint]:
You should not realistically need to do anything at all.
However, if you are dead set on trying this patch (which having a look seems questionable at best), you will need to set up a development environment, compile the toolchain for your host, apply the patch, and then compile Rockbox.
Note that if you do so, you will no longer be able to use the officially supplied binaries as doing so would replace the patched binary and undo your work, and that you will not be eligible for support unless you can verify that the issue(s) you encounter are present in an official binary. If you go down this road you will need to compile your own binaries when you want updates.
