Ipod 5g questions about usb host and remote
Llorean:
Yes, it should. Rockbox should not affect the workings of the Apple OS when properly installed (and when improperly installed, the Apple OS shouldn't boot at all).

--- Quote from: 5.5gInJapan on February 27, 2007, 07:43:22 PM ---okay, i bought a wired remote for my iPod. It worked like a charm until i installed rockbox, now when i use the Apple OS (i.e. NOT rockbox), the remote doesn't work. Is that clear? My question is, should the remote be working under the Apple OS?

Which bootloader are you using? i.e. the Rockbox bootloader or the ipodlinux loader2?
If you uninstall the bootloader, does the remote work again in the Apple OS?
If the Rockbox bootloader is definitely preventing your remote working with the Apple OS, then it's a bug, and it would be useful if you could file a bug report. I'm not aware of anyone else reporting this issue though.
5.5gInJapan:
I'm using the rockbox loader.
When I did a restore, the remote was working fine in Apple OS.
So then i re-installed rockbox and now the remote has stopped working again (in Apple OS). ???
So, out-of-the-box iPod, remote worked perfect. Rockboxed iPod, remote didn't work in Apple OS. Restored iPod, remote worked fine. Re-rockboxed iPod, remote stopped working again.
It seems pretty conclusive to me, but on the other hand it doesn't seem to make sense, since, as I understand it, once the Apple OS is loaded/booted the rockbox install shouldn't have any effect.
I suspect there's something else at work here, perhaps I dropped/knocked the remote or something? :-\
I just thought I'd ask in case anyone else has had this problem or that it might be a well-known issue. Apparently not?
[edit: oh and thanks for the help so far :)]
Llorean:
"Shouldn't" and "Won't" are two different things though. It is possible that something the Rockbox loader does during its hardware init could be preventing Apple OS from properly initializing/using the serial communications for the remote once it starts (though I'm not at all knowledgeable in this area, this is wild speculation).
GodEater:
Could you let us know the make and model of remote you're using ?
