Rockbox vs. iriver firmware

ok. thanks for explaining it.
--- Quote ---Some rockbox users have reported that they are unable to start the original iriver firmware (it hangs at boot time) - however rockbox works ok. I'm assuming that the reason for this is that the settings of the original iriver firmware have become corrupted.

I'm one of those users. What should I do to reset to default settings ? Just run this driver and I'm set ?

Well technically you don't 'run' a driver ;)
I've added instructions in that other thread. The latest CVS build will now also print a message on success, the old version only printed something on the screen if there was a problem.
Do tell me if it fixed your problem

Would be nice to identify the place where it stores the realtime clock values (especially the date)...
Does the bug still exist, that booting the original firmware changes the year of the rockbox clock?
Or has that already been fixed?
(I didn't use the original firmware for ages, so I don't know) ;)

The date and time are stored in the RTC, as you want them to keep being up to date, don't you?
The eeprom stores brightness, contrast, volume,.... settings

--- End quote ---
errr.... what was your problem then? The driver does absolutely nothing on its own (on h300 at least) - it's only accessed when selecting those two entries in the debug screen (see other thread)

I could not load original firmware.
After installing of yesterday cvs version of rockbox i can load OF =)
i repeat: i did nothing, furthermore, that loaded rokbox. after this i loaded OF =)
