Compatibility of IPL Loader2 with Rockbox
« on: March 23, 2007, 12:09:14 PM »
I've used rockbox a lot during the last months since i got cygwin, and i'm very happy for it.

Before Rockbox i used IPL, and when i installed Rockbox, i checked the IPL wiki, which said that Loader2 _supported_ rockbox.
And it works fine for me.
But i've seen some talk about that it doesn't initialize the coprocessor and so on, is that still the case?

The 2.4 release (which was around May 2006 IIRC) of loader2 didn't initialise the COP correctly when loading Rockbox.

I gave IPL a patch to fix that (I implemented the buggy Rockbox loading in loader2 in the first place), and that was committed to the IPL SVN on 6 January 2007.  So any version of loader2 built after that should be fine.  

However, I don't know where binaries can be found.
