AGPTEK Rocker

[Milardo]

Thanks, so one just has to rerun this?

docker run --rm -it -v /path/to/dir/with/update.upt:/upt \
-e UPT_DIR=/upt agptek-dev bootloader_install.sh

Also, to mention, that the file "update_rb.upt" doesnt get built correctly using the above command, i got a file that was only 366kb, but the post from yzdev, that outputs the file correctly with a size of about 32 mb.


Ok. After compiling this time the file got built correctly i think.

Anyone who is interested, here's a link to download the version which has the bass and treble features.

Its enough to replace files unpacked from rockbox.zip on SD.

My crystal ball wore out. Without actual error message I cannot correct this.

For those interested USB storage support got  commited. You need to update both bootloader and main binary (so the whole procedure with .upt and unziping rockbox.zip). Enjoy.

I noticed a display problem on the WPS (cabbie2v): When playing 1h+ podcasts %pc and %pe weren’t displayed properly. (Maybe because they are used twice?) I fixed this by changing "Time and Playlist Info" from

Code: [Select]

%V(8,126,112,12,1)
%al%pc%ac%pc%ac%?Sr<%pe %Sx(of) %pp|%pp %Sx(of) %pe>%ar%pr%ar%prto

Code: [Select]

%V(2,126,124,12,1)

USB doesn’t work for me. Ubuntu and Win10 can’t mount the disk. The display changes as expected and shows the usb plug, OS finds it, but the disk doesn’t get mounted.
dmesg doesn’t indicate problems:

The microSD card gets mounted properly when used with a card reader.

Does your card has partition or is it formated as superfloppy?

[yzdev]

FAT32 partition. I’ve tried a different card with multiple partitions (FAT16 with rockbox), same results.

[Roboturner913]

This is probably a really stupid question, but once I have Rockboxw working on the player, can I delete it from my SD card?

[johnb]

You need to keep the .rockbox directory and its content as this is where it is run from.

[wodz]

FAT32 partition. I’ve tried a different card with multiple partitions (FAT16 with rockbox), same results.

Did you perform full update (aka. updating bootloader with .upt file as well as unpacking rockbox.zip)?

[yzdev]

Yes.
But it can’t work if changes from repo aren’t pulled. I just checked the local sources, changes from your last commit weren’t there. I pulled them manually and will try again.
Output of bootloader_install.sh was sth. along the lines of "already up-to-date" … Well, it obviously wasn’t.

PS: Ok, I did. No change. Still unable to mount microSD while it’s in the player.

Instructions for install:

Extract the folder out of rockbox.zip Take the folder out of that named ".rockbox" and put it directly into your sd card. Put update_rb.upt directly into sd card as well, and once in there, rename it too update.upt

Next you'll need to choose the update firmware option in agptek rocker settings. It should upgrade and then you'll have a choice to choose rockbox, the original agptek rocker os and some tools. Hope this helps, leave a reply if you need help with the install.

No luck for me.

I have a .rockbox directory at the root of my card; and I have the update.upt file there too.  When I then turn on the Rocker, go to settings and choose "update firmware", it tells me "No update!"  And then interestingly, when I turn off the device and re-connect to my computer, the update.upt file is now absent from the card.  I've repeated this twice, same behavior both times.  (It also set the filesystem to read-only, I had to unmount and remount rw the filesystem from the command line for the re-try.

The Rocker will play the mp3 and ogg files I have on that card (in folder view mode), so the formatting of the card doesn't seem to be at issue.  Any hints welcome.

Hi,

   I had a few problems as well with that. What is your sd card formatted as? Did you download the files that i uploaded or did you compile/build them yourself.? You might have to reformat the card. I actually put the two files in my sdcard using windows 10 os.

I downloaded the files off your Google docs links.  Your first post had one Rockbox.zip and one upt file; your second post had a different Rockbox.zip with updates for bass/treble adjustments.  I used the upt file linked from the first post, and the zip file linked from the second post.

I think the read-only thing occured because I unplugged the device from the computer, without unmounting it.  On plugging it back in, dmesg tells me this:

Code: [Select]

[1511695.530849] FAT-fs (sdb1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.
[1511695.868103] FAT-fs (sdb1): error, fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 0)
[1511695.868106] FAT-fs (sdb1): Filesystem has been set read-only
Then running mount -o remount,rw  let me write to it again.

Believe it or not, I no longer remember what the card is formatted as.  It's the same 64Gb card I've been using in my Sansa Clip (zip?) for a couple of years.  I formatted it using some tool from a Windows 7 desktop; it might have been a tool I downloaded.  Now I'm using a RHEL laptop, so I have a different set of tools available to me.  Is that log stuff above telling us the the card is formatted FAT32?  That rings a bell.

The mount command says that /dev/sdb1 is of type vfat; the file -sL command says "(volumes > 32 MB) , FAT (32 bit), sectors/FAT 7613" (among other things).

[Milardo]

ok, yes the card should be formatted as FAT32. Sorry i'm not sure what that log is telling you. Can you try to get a different sd card (if you want) to see if rockbox can run on your player? Format as FAT32 then add a couple of mp3 then might want to format it in the agptek rocker then add some mp3 files as well as .rockbox folder and the update.upt file. I'm going to upload the upt that enables that usb mass storage support as well which you can try out too.

Easiest thing might be to back up the ~42Gb of music I have on this card to my computer, then format the card in the player and proceed as instructed.  FYI the "about this player" says I have firmware version 1.2.

But it's interesting, the card seems to be working in the player.  The player is reading the music files I have in there, and building its little database of artists and albums. 

[Milardo]

Yes i have the same firmware. Also yes the stock os on the player doesnt have any issue reading from my sd card, but formatting might help get rockbox working.
