Rockbox Development > New Ports
Toshiba Gigabeat S30
GodEater:
Nice going Toffe!
Looks similar to other WinCE boot sequences I've seen. Perhaps we could ask for help from a team of people who are familiar with hacking that platform, such as the people who port linux to the iPaq series of handhelds? http://www.handhelds.org in case anyone is interested...
Perhaps of particular interest is the HaRET application, which is a bootloader that can be used to launch linux from within the WinCE environment : http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HaRET. Clearly we won't be using it to try to launch a kernel zImage, but perhaps it can be hacked around with to make it launch a rockbox.gigabeats (should we ever produce such an image)

i don't know how much this will help, but there was a firmware update released for the gigabeat v.

toffe:
Thank you for the help,
Perhaps we can modify the updater to load a modified firmware on the S and why not on a zune..
Wait and see ;)
alienbiker99:
i think its the best option we have so far, i went to look at the files that it flashes and it has the bin, so it might just need to have the default S patched binaries, unless of course the updater has different security checks
toffe:
The updater is specific to the v30
I try it on the S30 and it say not connected
and doesn't continue .
So we have to modify the updater to work with the S
