Here is a data sheet of S6D0154 http://rapidshare.com/files/105062097/S6D0154X_Data_Sheet_Rev1.10.pdf.html
Thats really great that more and more developers ape picking up m6's. The project is getting bigger and bigger
how do we test the code on players?is this code one for m6sl and m6?

建议rockbox推出中文网站啊
都是英语初学者
不然中国朋友很迷茫啊！

Rockbox proposed launch Chinese website ah
Are English learners

I recommend that rockbox creates a chinese web-site
our english is very basic
without a chinese site, it'd be difficult for chinese fans to understand the content

A bit of a cheeky request - any chance you/your friend could PM the original poster and explain that Rockbox is written by volunteers in their spare time, and it would need a chinese speaking volunteer to invest a very large amount of time to keep a translation up to date.

Hey guys, I've reimplemented the DFU tool on Linux. Currently M3, M6 TP and M6 SP are supported. I hope this would help development, since some developers don't have access to Windows.

Get it from http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/MeizuM6Port

Whoa, you rock!

Currently M3, M6 TP and M6 SP are supported.

Now also the M6 SL

I've finally managed to get the backlight toggling code running on my m6sl.

Compile the m6sl bootloader, and run

Code: [Select]

meizu_dfu m6sl  rockboot.ebn rockboot.ebn(the second rockboot.ebn doesn't matter, but meizu_dfu wants two files)

thats great news! could you explain more how to comile the m6sl bootloader? it must be done in linux? how to run this code meizu_dfu m6sl  rockboot.ebn rockboot.ebn ? i understand that my questions are silly but if you'd give more instructions we could start testing the code on every model (sp, tp, t1). and we wilb be able to test furthere codes as well

[gevaerts]

could you explain more how to comile the m6sl bootloader? it must be done in linux?

Just build it as you build any bootloader.

how to run this code meizu_dfu m6sl  rockboot.ebn rockboot.ebn ?

meizu_dfu is in utils/. Compile it
Then run the command as I said.
(I'm not sure if it works in windows)

[wpyh]

Thanks to gevaerts, I've also been able to run the test code on my M3.

1. Press and hold M.
2. Press and hold Play.
3. Plug it in.
4. Release Play.
5. Run "meizu_dfu m3 rockboot.ebn rockboot.ebn".
6. When it says "Clearing status...", release the M button.
7. Play around! Pressing the Play button will toggle the backlight.
8. When you're done (or bored), unplug the device. Nothing will be written on the device, so no data will be lost (legally, I don't guarantee this though).

The above procedure should be the same for M6 TP and M6 SP (just replace "m3" in the command with "m6").

[gevaerts]

The new version doesn't turn off anymore on unplugging (at least on m6sl, most probably on m3, unsure about the others).

To make it easy to handle, it now turns off after pressing Play 20 times (it tells you this by toggling the backlight quickly a few times before turning off)

[gevaerts]

The current svn version manages to read the touchpad.
The "keep powered on after unplugging" is disabled for now, so you have to keep the usb cable plugged in while testing.

r18531 talks to the LCD controller, although it doesn't say much yet.
The current code reads the LCD controller ID and flashes it using the backlight.
