Surfans F20 "NAND open error"
amachronic:
Yeah, I need to tag a new 'official' bootloader release -- we've had other features like GPT partition table support added since the last one.

Oh wow, yes please do!
I also have a Surfans F20 on a v3.1 firmware, I'll look into getting the native port on it on my next day off.
Any idea if I can just install one of the older firmwares and then go about installing the native port as usual?
It also came in a different box than the F20 I got last year, why do they keep changing stuff lol
As far as I can tell it's functionally identical to v2.7, so wtf is the point with these annoying revisions?

In a word: Don't.
There are numerous hardware changes, and I've seen multiple reports that installing (eg) 2.7 on top of 3.0 causes audio output to stop working, and it's nto clear that Surfans will supoprt you if complain.
In theory a single software image could detect the hardware revision and behave accordingly, but that requires (1) hardware to report a revision number and (2) the software to check (and care).
If someone can get me the various surfans firmware files for these later hardware revisions I can generate pre-patched update files for the *hosted* port, but if you're looking to load up the native port, IIUC that doesn't matter.

Hi All
I was able to build a native version for my HiFi Walker FW 1.7 with this help.
I can at least use it in the Bootloader and the Player.
But the Colors are still wrong. Any theme with covers looks wrong. like inverted. Also the Bootloader Menu is white.
So just text themes for now :-)
You mention above that "Bit 3 is RGB/BGR " and this could help fix the colros.
How can I add this to the /lcd-erosqnative.c
it looks like this now
/* Set Address Mode */
LCD_INSTR_CMD, 0x36,
LCD_INSTR_DAT, 0x98,
thank you
