Your build worked fine with the Kingspec SSD, so then I tried the 32GB microSD in the double Extreme adapter in the green CF converter. Rockbox started OK, but froze when I tried to change theme. It started working again after a few seconds but did not change theme.
Trying to build the database resulted in a freeze, followed shortly by the attached Panic screen.

Try this build:

If it works with the kingspec CF card, try it with the SD adapters.

In particular ‘Exempt Skip’ and ‘Exempt Play’.
Ah, yes, that seems to do the trick - thanks to you as well!

Hardware / 2242 Sata SSD that definitely works on iPod 6th gen
« Last post by Specks29 on November 11, 2024, 03:02:07 AM »Can someone please tell me of a 2242 sata SSD that definitely works with rockbox on the iPod? I got a kingspec one but it isn't recognising it

Hardware / Re: Is there a way to re-initialize a Philips GoGear HDD6330?
« Last post by philden on November 11, 2024, 01:20:27 AM »I should have been more precise, so today I took the GoGear apart again and did some more tests. I used a Windows XP laptop with "Philips Device Manager" (PDM) installed, and downloaded the latest Rockbox build, rockbox-gogearhdd6330-20241110, fonts and a theme.
In each case I tried to get the Original Firmware working before adding Rockbox.
1. First I tried a green CF board with a 32GB CF card. The PDM detected and repaired this, but the OF would not start, it stuck on the "loading" message. I repeated the PDM repair process, but the result was the same.
2. Next I tried the CF board with a single CF to SD adapter and 32GB microSD card. The PDM set this up and I got the OF running. Then I installed Rockbox manually. The first time I started the GoGear, Rockbox ran but I could not select anything from any menus. I tried the file browser, theme menu etc. On reboot the system went straight to a Philips "Connect to computer" error screen. On connecting to a computer, the device was not detected by the PDM or in the Windows XP file browser.
3. Then I tried the same 32GB microSD card in a 2 microSD extreme CF adapter, with the green CF board. I had used this setup in the past to happily run the OF. I repaired the system with the PDM and then reinstalled Rockbox. Initially I could load a music file to Rockbox, and it showed in the wps with the "play" icon. There was, however, no sound or play progress. The FM radio worked up to a point. I could tune manually and scan for presets. On exiting FM mode, I could not save or exit the presets, so had to reboot.
After the reboot, playing the same music file worked. I still could not load a theme or initialize the database. After another reboot, building the database worked. Trying to browse the database found 0 songs, and I had to reboot to reset.
4. Next I tried the 32GB microSD card in an iFlash Quad, connected via an iFlash 4th Gen iPod converter cable. Rockbox booted straightaway, but froze when I tried to play a file. Booting into the OF worked OK. I rebooted back to Rockbox and this time could change theme, but Rockbox froze when I tried to browse the database.
5. Finally I put the 32GB Kingspec CF/IDE SSD back in, and everything I've tried works as normal in Rockbox and the OF. The system responds quickly to all key presses.
My conclusion is that all of the other configurations have communication issues running Rockbox, though all but the 'real' CF card happily run the OF. I only tried one 32GB microSD card in the various adapters, but it ran the OF OK. It is a SanDisk Ultra, bought direct from Western Digital.

« Last post by Zakalwe on November 10, 2024, 10:22:08 AM »Thank you, I had no idea this was in the options! Indeed, this kinda does what I was hoping for, though in a way it is overkill - it makes all buttons behave the way I wanted, rather than just one. I will give it a try, but I suspect having the play/skip buttons effectively requiring double-clicks for their regular operations when the screen is off will become a bit of a nuisance.

« Last post by speachy on November 10, 2024, 06:28:29 AM »...You need to be extremely specific about what the "same behaviour" is.
Because 3.15 is known to massively corrupt filesystems with SSDs on PP502x-based devices (which includes numerous ipods and these philips devices), and semi-recent daily builds do not. As far as I am aware, there are *no* SSD-related data corruption problems (or battery life regressions) with the current code.
(There is an outstanding issue with the ipod6g that appears to be due to data alignment, but that's being actively worked on)
