New Development Builds Will Not Allow USB Connection Clip Zip

(1/15) > >>

bbildman:
When I plug in the USB comment using 3.13 firmware, the USB works fine, with my Clip drives. Soon as I update to the newest build (10-09-2014 and 10-08-2014), the computer shows Rockbox connected, but no drives available for connect.

I reinstalled 3.13 and USB works fine.

Help?

saratoga:
You can either stick 3.13 or use the Sandisk firmware for USB transfer.

bbildman:
Yeah, I figured that, I'll stick to 3.13...as an aside, has this issue been reported before?? Thanks

Yes, there are a lot of random USB bugs.  Usually newer is more stable, but not always.

Hi, been thinking about your reply above. The reason I decided to try the daily build for the Clip Zip is because the following notation was posted on the Major Changes page::

"Major changes since version 3.13 (in git)
 2014-09-28: Improved battery life on the Clip v2, Clip+, Clip Zip and Fuze v2"

I figured I'd try it because of the battery life issue, but being I can't make a disk connection via the USB port with the daily build, I went back to 3.13.

And the reason I didn't keep the dev build and just use the Sandisk firmware for USB transfer was that each time I disconnect the Clip  (after adding or changing files with the Sana firmware) the Clip spends a considerable amount of time "refreshing" and I have a lot of files on the Sansa so it takes a while....whcih was one of the original reasons I switched to Rockbox.

Thanks anyway.
