Make rockbox secondary firmware?

(1/8) > >>

osama:
How do I switch the original firmware and rockbox firmware so when I start up my ipod regularly it loads the apple firmware, and when I restart the ipod and lock the screen the rockbox firmware loads?

Llorean:
You'll have to recompile the bootloader with the boot order changed (requires minimal programming skills) or use an alternate bootloader (Loader 2 from the iPodLinux project) which is also not supported here. It'll work, but if it causes problems, you'll likely be asked to use the official one to verify the problems.

Rockbox is intended to be a fully functioning replacement software, so there was never an intent for it to be set up as secondary.

Febs:
Of course, once you start the Apple firmware, it will continue to load until you reset the ipod.

Just a curious question.  Wasn't it secondary at one point in time? I thought I remembered when rockbox for the h120s came out it was secondary and only to developers it was first, but then they changed it but still kept this info in the wiki.  Or maybe I had it mixed up.

Sando:
It was at the very start of the H1xx port but then was changed as developers got tired of having to hold REC to boot into Rockbox every time.
