Apple iPod Classic - Working Git Build with Upstream Commits

[joesomebody]

Yes, see https://mega.co.nz/#!5JMCwJjD!N-Ay2NFnDUGap-USDv8gwUxDBlwpjzbJYnuFThIiGbc

The readme in the git repo actually has more recent builds as well, but it was time for another.

All of my builds are based on the latest git, as of the day it was built. Happy to share!

Thank you! I apologize but I don't understand what you are asking for.

 I have an iPod Classic 6g 160gb (fat version) with a Samsung 512gb msata drive with Tarkan's adapter. That I can't get to work with Rockbox. I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. I have spent literally many hours, and many upon many restores. And it still gives me errors when I try to put Emcore on the iPod. And I feel like I am going in circles. Could you please give me some tips, or if anybody can experiment with this? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Note I sent a message similar to this yesterday, and changed it some to post on here. Like I said I would appreciate any help on this. Also if the poster that got it to work on their 7th generation iPod could help me that would be great also.

Installed the software and must say directory search is very rapid, sound quality is good. Real improvement over the last version you made.

thx!

The ssd branch in my repo has the patch applied, but you'll need to compile Rockbox from it. Otherwise, I think there may be patches for the bootloader. All SSD stuff I have comes from http://beyondwind.duckdns.org/?page_id=58

Great work, joesomebody! Hopefully it gets to last longer on one batteryload, just like the original software.

Perhaps some interesting reading for you, joesomebody.

Now, no one wants to shit on your work...but I think you should read what the ipod6g project maintainer had to say about your repository.

Well, the ipod6g maintainer is shitting on my work. That said the last official build I tried still did not work on the 6g. If it does work, then I don't really have to keep building anymore. My work isn't even really mine, I just know that in the past official builds have failed to even boot.

If the ipod6g maintainer and yourself could perhaps in a more eloquent way lay out, in bullet points, the differences, and how/why the official builds should work now, please do so, as it would save me the trouble of messing with the code at all.

No need to be a dick about it...

I'm going to assume that you do not see the irony in this?

You assume tone in a perfectly polite message, and make accusations like that, what inclination do I have now to pay you any respect?

I don't want respect, but the community who may be using my builds when they now don't need to do. Seems many people have iPod problems that until now, have at the least not been addressed publicly.

• iPod Classic: Fix several ATA driver bugs - committed 2014-07-18
• iPod Classic: do not use HDD features on CE-ATA drives - committed 2015-07-16

The former addresses issues with Tarkan adapter plates, the latter addresses issues with CE-ATA.

Seems many people have iPod problems that until now, have at the least not been addressed publicly.

I'm not entirely sure what you wanted to happen here. The git log is public. This target is classed as unusable, it is expected to have issues, and we provide no official means to boot the supplied binaries anyway. If developers made a public address regarding every critical bug in an unusable target class they wouldn't get anything else done.

I'm sorry for getting bent out of shape over it, I just wasn't aware of the 2015-07-16 fix. I'll put out some builds soon that are basically officials, perhaps with some of the gerrit ipod6g patches.
