Apple iPod Classic - Working Git Build with Upstream Commits

[joesomebody]

I reverted the ATA commit mentioned previously in this thread, added some fixes from upstream (see the git changelog).

The latest build is always linked here: https://github.com/ilikenwf/rockbox-ipod6g#compiled-release

Not to be nagging, but I could use this one too.

If you absolutely cannot wait, see: The Rockbox Wiki Development Guide and do as OP did.

New build, and I've put my git fork on github. See the top post.

Bump, new build. I'll also start building for those of you who need the SSD patches. Note the -SSD builds as opposed to the usual one above.

Where is that SSD patch from?  It has some changes that probably do nothing for compatibility (e.g. allowing evenless strict alignment), and some that look like they could probably be in the main build (longer waits and allowing a device to recover from sleep).

The guy who wrote it modified his iPod with an SSD - I'm not qualified with C beyond making it build with simple errors and merge conflicts; seems his server is down right now. He has a whole guide on his site for the SSD modification, and an ancient rockbox build over there.

It would be nice if SSD were an option on format, and a configuration option otherwise for the sleep and such.

O/T: I plan to SSD my 6g once I can afford to. I realize everyone loves the sound of the 5g more but from reading around it is pretty subjective, and you'd need to be using some extremely expensive equipment to notice the difference. Some people actually prefer the 6g/7g models...very strange.

Do you have a device with an SSD?  Might be worth removing the useless stuff (alignment changes) and then testing.

Why even have an option?  Just figure out which of those random changes actually matter and add them to all builds.

Not yet

Edited my post above. I plan on getting the adapter and a large capacity SSD soon as I can.

Are you sure the alignment changes are unnecessary? With SSD's the alignment can greatly affect lifetime and read/write performance, depending on the default blocksize of the device.
