Got myself some old Ipod Nano 2G for free. Put The stable release on it and it just straight up crashes / freezes after a few minuets/seconds. Tried latest dev-build as well. Same result. Battery seems alright too.
Normal Firmware works but i just hate not being able to simply drag and drop.The whole synchronizing just annoys me.
Anybody with the same problem?
-
Try checking the FAT32 file system for errors.
-
Tried it found no problems. The apple firmware runs without problems. I dont think its a hardware issue.
-
Are there any actions that can trigger a crash?
-
Installed ROckbox again today and tested it. Cause seems completely random ,i fear, but it never plays longer than a few minuets.
Occasionally got a white screen with this error message
"undefined instruction at 6008 pc:60083864 sp:00004bd8 bt end"
and got a Rockbox bootloader ATA Error when i restarted
-
Does it freeze up if you don't start music playback?
-
Yes it also crashes when i am fiddling around in the menue. Completely random
-
Same thing here .Tried latest dev builds but no luck .Player works fine in menus except when accessing debug/view disk info or after playing music for 5-20sec and then just froze .
* Checked fat32 partition under win7 (ipod in disk mode ) -> no errors on partition
* restored ipod with itunes and reinstalled rockbox > no change
* tried older builds ( oldest from 2017 ) -> no luck
Original apple software works just fine .
-
I also noticed that when I use external power the player works without crashing .
-
Works on external power is a very important observation
Is it a flaky battery, power supply, or bad settings on our end
-
Battery is in good condition .Rockbox is loaded fresh with default settings .
With other ipod nano 2g ( wich is now dead , board issue ) Rockbox worked just fine .
