Xduoo X3 II

[dhugas]

I'm trying to get in the xDuoo through adb but no luck, looks like it is not active. I can't find anywhere something like "developer mode" to activate it, neither in the Rockbox skeleton menu that somewhat works, nor the HIBY, nor the Tools menu where there is a "Start ADB" option.

I'm not used to adb, but last time I used it I needed a driver for the phone I was trying to reach. Is that the case?

Thank you for your help!

Hello again,

Finally I could get into the X3II using adb, issued the command speachy wrote and recovered the device:

echo recovery > /proc/jz/reset/reset

I can now read from the SD card and I have reverted to the previous working configuration with XVortex dualboot. The problem was with accessing device permissions at the adb end.

Again, thank you for your time and help!

This is a great port. It was simple to set up, and is surprisingly problem-free.

The one issue I've spotted so far while playing with settings is that adjusting Haas Surround while a track is playing will pretty consistently result in a segfault.

FYI, I finally uploaded a current build of the X3ii and X20 bootloaders and binary patches that will update the stock firmware images.

See the installation instructions here:

Can someone send me the USB VID/PID for the X3ii and X20? 

I need them to finish adding rbutil support.

Thanks!

I find the Sinux custom firmware much better than the stock one. Is there any way to dual boot Rockbox with this one instead of the stock? I appreciate if someone could point me to the instructions.

Grab the bootloader .bin file from this zip:

http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/xduoo/x3ii.zip

Then use this script to patch the Sinux firmware image:

Good luck.

Does rockbox on the x3 II support usb host for usb flash drives?
Connecting external usb dac?
Being a usb gadget to be a usb dac to a PC?

I would really like to be able to connect a usb 2.5in portable 4TB hard drive. With a external power supply to power hard drive, i assume would be needed.

Noob question:

How do i use the Hold function? In the normal firmware, a short click on the On/Off button activates it.

[fossphile]

looking back at my prev post, of course for a usb hdd to be connected a external power supply to power it is needed. even for the laptop drives. i guess the usb host hardware only provides enough current for a usb flash drive. i was so optimistic...

Would love a reply to know likely hood of rockbox having such features as usb host. I know the iaudio x5 had some odd proprietary chip for usb host. I guess now in the Xduoo x3 II, usb host is supported by the SOC. Would love to be able to connect these new 1tb £127 relativity cheap usb flash drives for tons of music.

i see for £180~ a 1tb microsd card can be bought https://www.mymemory.co.uk/integral-1tb-ultimapro-a2-v30-high-speed-micro-sd-card-sdxc-uhs-i-u3-adapter-180mb-s.html

i think the x3 II hardware can use 1tb microsd?

not rushing to splash but perhaps in a year when they get cheaper

If the underlying xDuoo Linux OS/platform has the ability to act as a USB host for a mass storage device, then yes, Rockbox would be able to piggyback on that.  If that feature isn't part of the underlying OS image, then we're SOL.

So I'm having an issue I hope someone can help: when the xduuo x3ii is connected through usb to a receiver (my car stereo for example) it bypasses the boot firmware selection and goes straight to the stock firmware. This doesnt haooen without the connected usb. That means every time I want to use the device with the car i need to unplug usb, then boot into rockbox, then plug the cable again and it works flawlessly, but defeats the purpose of having a connected device in the car permanently, which is what I want.

Any ideas gow to work around this? Is that a known issue? I need to force rockbox boot at all times or maybe even remove/block the stock firmware from the boot menu. I don't know how to do that. Anyone else experienced this?
