you have to use this custom firmware that beyondwind created for all ssd drives


beyondwind.duckdns.org/downloads/rockbox.zip

its almost 2 years old but it works!

problem is all firmware after 3.13 break theme compatibility with no fixes coming soon.
so my question is .... can someone who knows how to, take the 3.13 firmware and apply this patch to it...

beyondwind.duckdns.org/downloads/ipod5g_msata_mod.patch

located here:
beyondwind.duckdns.org/downloads/


please reply if you can
Thanks!

========UPDATE APRIL 24 2016===========

User G4Oblivion was kind enough to patch the 3.13 build with the above ssd patch and it works AMAZINGLY WELL!

here it is:

I have a ZIF SSD (Super Talent DuraDrive ZT3) installed in my iPod and everything works fine with the latest builds.

The patch of beyondwind is for mSATA drives and should not be needed for ZIF drives.

I too have the Zheino 256gb zif ssd drive in my ipod 5.5.

If http://beyondwind.duckdns.org/downloads/rockbox.zip works and the changes in that build are http://beyondwind.duckdns.org/downloads/ipod5g_msata_mod.patch then I believe the important part is http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/469/

Basically the PIO timings used by Rockbox are probably too fast, and don't work with all devices. That gerrit change uses PIO timings from the 5G iPod OF, which slows PIO performance, but works with more devices. It shouldn't break anything, and hopefully PIO performance isn't too important because most data is read via DMA.

It may be a good idea to accept that change now, because use of mSATA SSDs is becoming more common.

If the performance hit is a problem, could you check to see if the stock drive is installed and then change timings?

If the performance hit is a problem, could you check to see if the stock drive is installed and then change timings?

If that isn't possible, could it just be made an option for a user to pick in one of the system menus?  "SSD Mode" on/off or something?

Presumably anyone enough of a tinkerer to change the media will be fine with setting some extra system value somewhere, no?)

(I use sdxc card adaptor myself, which I guess is not 'stock drive' but also doesn't seem to have the same issues as SSD in this respect)

[dreamlayers]

If the performance hit is a problem, could you check to see if the stock drive is installed and then change timings?

One way would be to have a whitelist of drives which we know work with the fast timings.

Alternatively, maybe some of the identity information could be used. There should be a way to see if the drive is an SSD or SATA.

I did go to beyondwind.duckdns.org/downloads/rockbox.zip and downloaded and installed this version.  The Zheino 256gb zif ssd drive in my ipod 5.5 now works great.  However, there is one problem.

The battery drains to nothing after the ipod has shutdown for an extended period of time, about 3 days.  The battery just slowly discharges.  When I press the center button and it restarts and I play a song, the battery indicator is much lower than when I turned it off. 

Could it be that the SSD is drawing current? 

The ipod video 5.5g was upgraded from a 240gb hd and it did not draw down the battery.  In fact, I could leave it off for months at a time with little to no drain on the battery.

ecereb (SteveS) - try the new 3.13 with ssd patched build from here
