Other - Installation/Removal / Re: Surfans F20 v3.4 - jztool doesn't seem to activate the screen
« Last post by dconrad on October 08, 2024, 08:09:31 AM »Ok, thanks for the heads up. Once we get a 3.4 update file we can figure out what may be different. So you put it in usbboot mode (the blue led is on, screen is off), plug it in and run jztool to send the bootloader and... nothing happens?

Rockbox General Discussion / Re: Rockbox playback trigger via USB?
« Last post by automusician on October 08, 2024, 08:09:17 AM »Thanks for the intel.
I can try the IAP-over-serial protocol -- are there any docs or wikis that can give me a headstart? If not, got any code samples or specific files to look at? I'm using an Apple iPod Video (5g), and am happy to implement some custom handling.

Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players / Re: Running my 7th Gen on an iFlash-Dual, can't access the card in slot 2

If your iPod is the 120GB so-called 7th Gen, you can see and access only a maximum of 128GB of storage no matter how many GB you put in the iFlash - even with Rockbox - unless you properly format the storage first. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc8WMcGBu8o for an example of how to do that.

Other - Installation/Removal / Surfans F20 v3.4 - jztool doesn't seem to activate the screen
« Last post by jdharper on October 07, 2024, 04:06:58 PM »Hello!
Over the weekend I tried to install Rockbox on a new Surfans F20. It shipped with firmware update 3.4, which is newer than what's available here. I've emailed Surfans support to see if they'll give me the stock 3.4 firmware, but in the meantime I tried to get into the bootloader menu with jztool and had no success. I tried this on two computers, one Windows and one Linux, and I tried it from both the chrome tool and the command line. In all cases, it would LOOK like it was working--no error messages from jztool, and the device would show up in device manager/lsusb as expected. But the screen stayed dark on the device.
I think that this version of the hardware may have a different LCD screen than previous models, maybe one that requires a different command to turn on? It looks to me like it's connecting but the screen isn't lighting up for me to actually do any commands.
I'm not sure how to fix that, but figured this is the right place to report the issue.

Rockbox General Discussion / Re: Rockbox playback trigger via USB?
« Last post by speachy on October 07, 2024, 02:44:15 PM »Rockbox doesn't implement IAP-over-USB (requires bidirectional authentication) but does support the older IAP-over-serial protocol.
USB doesn't have a standard "remote control" protocol defined (along the lines of Bluetooth's AVRCP) so youd have to create something custom, and implement both ends.

Rockbox General Discussion / Rockbox playback trigger via USB?
« Last post by automusician on October 07, 2024, 10:35:20 AM »Is there any way to send commands to the iPod to play specific files while it's attached via USB? CLI control is what I'm thinking.
Then I could keep it charging and remote control playback via my phone instead of having to walk over to the device for fine-tuning.

Feature Ideas / Reset EQ
« Last post by rockbox_dev123 on October 06, 2024, 05:23:07 PM »I think it would be useful to have an option in the Equalizer to reset the EQ to its default settings. Currently I believe this can only be done by saving the default config before making changes and then reloading it later.
It's possibly within my ability to add this feature as a PR.
Mainly looking to get some feedback on if anyone else thinks it would be useful?
