DetailsThis fixes the low battery problem when booting. Up to
now you still could boot even if battery was definately too empty to succeed this task. Battery voltage is checked before disk spins up and if voltage is below 3.05V the unit will be switched off after showing a 'Battery empty!' message. The warning threshold was rised to 3.5V, because typically at this voltage you don't have much playing time left. And there is a voltage and a simple battery percent level display in the 'Bootloader USB mode' so you can see if you're save using the disk. I didn't install it yet on my iHP140 because I'm a littlebit afraid if I did anything wrong. But it compiled fine and I could create a new firmware file by using the scramble and mkboot tools. Theoretically this should work but perhaps it would be better if somebody with firmware flash access could test this (linus?). |
