Title: Wake-Up Alarm on the Sansa e200
Post by: MarcGuay on April 19, 2008, 01:35:07 AM

I just noticed that this page:

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DeviceChart

claims that the e200 has wake-up alarm capability but I don't see it mentioned in the manual, feature comparisson page, or find any feature requests in flyspray.  Does this mean that it's possible, given the existence of a RTC, that it's been coded but isn't enabled/hasn't been documented, or simply that the wiki page has an error in it?

I think that it has the capability in principle, but no one has coded it.  I think you would need a new bootloader to be able to do that sort of thing.

Yeah, the DeviceChart is about the hardware capabilities of the different devices, not what's supported by rockbox, but it does of course also contain errors :)
