m:Robe 500 hangs on bootscreen

(1/2) > >>

cereal_killer:
I have a m:Robe 500 with OF version 1.03 and I followed the instructions on the wiki using the well tested method. When Rockbox launches it hangs on the boot screen:


--- Code: ---Rockbox boot loader
Version r20941 :20942M-090516
ATA
disk
mount
Loading firmware
Lenght: E446C
Checksum: 578D8F5
Model name: m500
Loading rockbox.mrobe500
Sum: 578D8F5
--- End code ---

Only a reset helps.
How can I start Rockbox?

__builtin:
What version of Rockbox are you running? The m:Robe is one of our more neglected targets, so it's quite possible that we've inadvertently broken it since whoever last tested it.

I downloaded a dev build some days ago: version 84624e14f8-200415

So you mean it is a problem of the Rockbox build not of the bootloader? I will try to reinstall and use a recent build.

cereal_killer:
I reinstalled everything from scratch using the latest dev build. Same result, but with slightly different text on the screen.

When I install the modified firmware using the Windows updater, the information on the screen of my PC says version 1.05, but when checking the version on the m:Robe it says 1.03. Is this intended?

My next step is to find out the latest working build. Can I do this with bisect? https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/UsingGit#How_do_I_bisect_using_git_63

cereal_killer:
Does anyone have a working build for this player and would share it with me? That would be nice.
