Rockbox Development > New Ports
Sandisk Sansa e200R
GodEater:
Bagder has kindly put together this wiki page describing the current status of this port.
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200R
Now - NO more posts rehashing things in this page.
Febs:
zajakattack, I have deleted two posts from you that ask questions already addressed in Bagder's wiki page. Please stop posting in this thread unless you have something substantive to add to the discussion.-
Edit:
zajacattack, I just cleared 15 more of your posts from this thread. In the last of those posts, you asked how to use a Ubuntu live CD. That is not what this thread is supposed to be about. As I said in another thread in this forum:
--- Quote ---It is too easy for threads in this forum to become bloated with unhelpful or irrelevant posts. For obvious reasons, that hampers the development effort. We can and do attempt to carefully moderate these threads to keep them focused and on point. However, off topic and unhelpful posts are nevertheless disruptive, because (1) it takes time to go through these threads and clean them up, and (2) some developers subscribe to these threads so that they receive an e-mail whenever there is an update, and getting an e-mail about something like a "Hello World" instead of actual useful content is at best annoying.
--- End quote ---
Do not post in this thread again unless it is to report an actual development with respect to the E200R.
bloodbath:
Someone mentioned that none of the developers of Rockbox has the R series Sansa. Unfortunately, I have no coding experience what-so-ever. Is there anything (files, etc) on the Sansa which I could send to any of the developers which might be of any use. I'm going to guess that the answer is "no" since I believe the firmware and boot program need to be updated and are probably nontransferable. However, I thought I would ask just in case there is an extremely minute chance that something may be of use to someone.
I am also willing to try to look at some of the coding, etc myself, but I would need some initial help; a tutorial or something. Anyway, I just would like to help in some way if it's possible.
Bagder:
We need one or many persons who own e200R players and who are willing and capable of working on these problems.
People who don't own such players are generally not eager or even interested in spending hours and hours to do this.
We have a few ideas on what can be done as a "next step", but it takes someone to be able to write code, upload to the target using e200tool, evaluate the results, tweak it, re-run etc until success or failure, and depending on that outcome move on to the next level.
We cannot start this by educating people in programming or in electronics. That's way way waaaay too much work and a too time-consuming task.
e280ruser:
I don't know how, but I have a sansa e280R, yes the R model, and it works perfectly with Rockbox. I used the instructions from the manual
http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansae200/rockbox-buildch2.html
and everything went without a hitch. As I use linux, I used the sansapatcher application. The link is as follows:
http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/sandisk-sansa/e200/linux32x86/sansapatcher
When I booted it up, I noticed that in both the regular firmware and in rockbox I have 2 wierd lines at the top, which I have figured are probably something to do with the framebuffers, and quickly manually patched the file lcd-e200.c in the source based on the patch #7438:
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7438?histring=sansa&pagenum=2
I have no problems running both the original firmware and the custom rockbox build dated yesterday. I don't know if I am an unusual case or whatever, but I am happy to offer any help that I can in order to find out why I am able to run rockbox on this model, while it looks like most people cannot.
