iPod (but not Rockbox) Newbie - Install query

[Dark2024]

Hello Folks,

I hope this is the right formn to post this query

I used to use Rockbox on a Sanza Clip Disk many years ago, and having recently come into possesion of an old 6G iPod Classic (80g), thought I would give RB a spin again.

I am thinking of getting the iPod updated (i.e. SSD/card fitted, new battery etc.) and have read a few posts on the forum about installing RB on these updated iPods

Some posts suggest you need to manually install a dev build due to some SSD issues, other posts seem to suggest that the problems are solved.

So my question is, can the existing installer be used (i.e. to install 3.15) or do I follow the manual install process (to install a dev build), as decribed in the following links?

Thanks in advance!
