Can't really call myself exprienced, but I have three advices for you. 1. I really recommend working with git or some other local source versioning system. This way you can maintain many patches (also patches that depend on other patches) and keep everything sync'ed to RB svn without much effort. 2. Unless your code is hardware dependant, test everything on the simulator before touching the device. It's less work to get your code executed *and* you have better debug options. 3. When you need to test multiple stuff on the device, do it in parallel: compile several builds, rename the main rockbox executable in each to something different, load all of them to the DAP and use RoLo to execute them one after the other. Note that you might encounter problems if your code changes too much for plugins and codecs to work; YMMV. Good luck, R.
