hello

like rockbox on my 160G Ipod classic.
Works on my boose docking station

BUT WONT WORK any more on my iLuv iMM178 docking station alarm clock (no jack in line)
Cant wake up or sleep without this clock

Must I revert back to Apple's firmware !!?

Willing to test debug or whaterver if there is a chance to have my clock work

Regards

I have a similar problem with my Pure Contour which is a bit of a bind as I can't boot into the original firmware. I checked my Cambridge Audio iD100 dock (which is a digital out DAC type dock) and sound is produced and I have limited control with the remote so I'm happy enough with that.

The iPod Classic is absolutely not expected to work correctly with iPod accessories.

The iPod Accessory Protocol is not implemented for this port, neither is serial, so how on earth you have even limited playback control confounds me.

Well, I've just tested it and I can confirm that I'm certainly able to skip forwards/backwards through tracks and to pause resume with the dock's wireless remote whilst using the RockBox firmware!
For the record it's actually a Cambridge Audio iD50 dock http://www.cambridgeaudio.com/products/id50-premium-docking-station and I have a 240GB 5th Gen iPod with RockBox 3.13 installed.
I appreciate that my player is a 5th Gen and not one of the so-called (or poorly named) 6th or 7th Gen 'Classics'

Well...that changes things dramatically.

I made the assumption (which, as it turns out was incorrect) that because you commented on this particular thread that, same as OP, you had an iPod Classic (which in the Rockbox world refers only to 6/7G iPod).

The iPod Accessory Protocol and serial most definitely *are* implemented for the iPod 5G (which is an iPod Video), and you most certainly can expect at least partial functionality with most accessories. IAP support is a bit spotty (its entirely reverse engineered), but we do have a list on the wiki of accessories that are known to be functional here.

At least now I can stop scratching my head wondering how on earth it was possible that you had dock playback control on a Rockboxed iPod Classic - safe in the knowledge that the world is right and miracles don't exist (at least not in iPod form). :)
