New Development Builds Will Not Allow USB Connection Clip Zip

In next 8-10 builds we should define problem place.

Rockbox4.zip (8fcce96M) works correctly. the only difference between the Rockbox firmware and the OF is that OF connects very quickly, the RF take a little while to show the drives in explorer.

Now what?? Should I leave this build on the Sansa, or revert to Rockbox1.zip??

The Sansa is recognized when connection is made both from a power on or off state.

No, you should test next build.

Rockbox6.zip (737dafeM) does NOT work.



Going to bed in the next 10 minutes or so, it may be tomorrow before you hear from me if for the next build try. Sorry my USB problem is creating so much of a mess....but it's clear SOMETHING is wrong in some of the builds' code.

Ok, test it when you have time. In any case we very close

I'm just chiming in here to make sure you're aware that you can always boot the original firmware to facilitate a USB connection should you need to.

One of the main issues here regarding USB is that virtually no active developers use Windows or Mac, and generally speaking linux based distributions are a lot more permissive in regards to USB (for better or worse). With Windows, there's so many variables that can throw spanners in the works its not even funny. It makes it very hard to debug.

Its usually never particularly clear whether you're chasing a bug with the embedded system (Rockbox) or the host environment (Windows).

Saint, that's a given (booting into OF, but you realize that IF you do that to get the PC to recognize the Sansa, when you disconnect, you (meaning me) have to wait some 10 minutes for the OF Sansa to "refresh" - and that is one of the big reasons I switched to Rockbox, so as not to have to deal with the refresh issue.

I can guarantee you the bug is within the Rockbox code, because SOME of the Rockbox builds (including the 3.13 stable and others) DO boot quite nicely via USB on my Windows 7 machine.

Yes, think same and use linux 16 years But it good if rockbox can be usable with others os.
