Would it be a good idea for me to install the native port at this point, after having used the hosted one for a while?

[dconrad]

Well, I would only recommend it at the moment if you have one of the original devices before the recent line-out change (or if you want to help tackle that change!).

I think at the moment the main benefit is that it boots up in about 5 seconds and you don't have to select rockbox in the boot menu. Which to me is a huge deal, but some people are more patient . Otherwise if it's working well for you, no real need to change I would say.

Is it correct that you need to use FAT32 for the native port though? I never had a problem with exFAT on the hosted port at least.

[dconrad]

Oh, yes that is correct. Depends on if that's a problem or not!

Oh well, not a problem now that I've reformatted the card and had everything transferred back to it.. Audio files above 4GB are very rare, and I'll likely not use a card that's above 2TB anytime soon.

Okay, here is a patched version of the H2 v1.5 firmware:

   https://www.shaftnet.org/~pizza/rb-H2-v15.upt

Rename it to update.upt and put it on the sd card root, then see if you can update the firmware successfully.

If it works, I'll add this (and the binary patch) to the wiki.

edit: nvm, i found patched h2 v1.5 firmware file in wiki pages. thanks.

Hi speachy.

Download Link not working , if you don't mind could you please re-upload patched version of the H2 v1.5 firmware. Thanks in advance.

[speachy]

It's on the wiki page now.

Hi, I'm thinking of getting the F20 since it's 20% off for black friday. I saw on the features matrix under device status that the USB is: Partial (Rb doesn't differentiate between Charge/Data).

What exactly does this mean? Does it mean that I can transfer and charge at the same time? Does it mean that USB Dac is not supported?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, transfer and charge at the same time.

There is no USB DAC support in Rockbox.

It means you can't plug it into a charger in your car and have it play audio - it'll boot into "USB Disk" mode by default and stay there, even if plugged into a charging cable with no data connection.  The only think preventing me from giving the F20 i threw Rockbox onto to my FIL for christmas, to be a hardwired always-in-car player.

Like most things in Rockbox, there's a setting for that.

Sorry if I've made a mistaken assumption on this.  Can you fill me in on what the setting in question is and what it will accomplish?  I was assuming that in the current state of the software on this target, we'd just be "stuck" for now having it in USB mode while charging.

Settings / General Settings / System / USB Mode ->  "Charge Only"  (instead of "Mass Storage")
