iAudio x5: Rockbox USB mode broken

[Malcohol]

The Rockbox USB mode on my X5L has been broken since October.
This isn't a crisis as the original firmware's USB mode works fine.

I've logged the bug, with details, here:

http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6590

The reason I'm posting is that the change that introduced the
bug for me was logged as "iAudio X5: USB mode working again".
That's weird!

Can other X5 owners tell me if Rockbox's USB mode is currently
working? Can you remember if it worked before October 18th
2006?

Thanks,

Malcolm.

I have noticed this issue exactly as you described at least since the January 3rd build. USB works fine when X5 is off, but when Rockbox is loaded, the USB picture shows up but the player is not detected by Windows XP.

I am on the case.

USB mode works fine here with a 070129 build and Gentoo Linux.

I second that. Svn; r12209M-070205, also Gentoo Linux.


Edit; completed version as reported by "info" and splashscreen.

I'm sorry, but SVN isn't dated like that. It uses revision numbers. If you're using a daily build, state the daily build date, but if you're using an SVN build, please state the revision number so people actually know what build you're talking about. There can be 20+ builds in a 24-hour range if it's been an active day.

I just updated to the latest daily build r12210-070206 for the x5 and the USB issue is still the same as before. The rockbox USB picture comes up when the cable is plugged into the subpack but the drive is not detected in windows XP. When I turn off the player and plug in the USB cable so the native firmware USB mode starts, the player is detected instantly by Windows.

Maybe I should be a little clearer. When I said "I am on the case", I really meant:

"Yes, I can confirm that there is a bug, and I am working on a fix".

Would that be a specific windows issue?

Would that be a specific windows issue?

No. It's the same under GNU/Linux.

[bk]

No. It's the same under GNU/Linux.

Some distributions of GNU/Linux, since Gentoo seems to be unaffected.

my x5 usb works fine with rockbox. Your using the subpack right and not the side usb thing. oh and im using windows xp, and im using rockbox-r12132M-070129 from http://rockbox.webhop.org/

Svn; r12209M-070205, now tested on windows xp sp2 - works just fine.

Please note that details of this bug are logged at the bug tracker here:

The problem is not to do with the computer or OS I'm connecting to. As stated at the bug tracker, I can modify the Rockbox source to fix the bug. What I don't understand is why it's broken for me, but not for others.

Let's complicate things a bit.

Before i thought USB mode is not availables in RockBox at all and relied on original firmware bootstrap for it, same as for charging.

But some weeks ago i suddenly discovered that RockBox can act as USB drive! (Pity it can't act like USB speakers, IMHO that could be killer thing. Play muic from X5 onto X5 :-) )

So, for me - it works, and it seemed (but i ain't sure, i'm a very newb to RB) to start working at about the time fix was into SVN. Still works.

X50 60Gb, purchased about last spring (i remember X5L/20 were in shops but X5L/30 were not), can put my s/n but don't think it counts.
OSes are WinNT 5.1, 5.2 don't remember of 98SE/ 5.0 / Linux (i guess i did not attached it), though can check them.
HW is i855GM (notebook) for 5.2, SiS 761 for 5.2.
