Subject: Re: confusing instructions for rombox/flash programming.
From: [IDC]Dragon (idc-dragon_at_gmx.de)
Date: 2004-08-13

Have you read the instructions?
These are the simple ones:
http://rockbox.haxx.se/twiki/bin/view/Main/BlindFlashing
And here's the full version:
http://rockbox.haxx.se/twiki/bin/view/Main/FlashingRockbox

If this is still unclear, please tell us where and why.

At least one confusion is about ROMbox, a new experimental flavour of
running Rockbox straight from ROM:

Nothing is wiped, you need the .bin only once, for your very first flashing.
Imagine it like formatting the flash.

Yes, this is the standard update procedure.

No.

My webspace does, see the instructions about initial flashing.
