DetailsRockbox's USB mode on my X5 no-longer works (at least when connecting to GNU/Linux machines). General details: * I'm using a build from the 26th of January (but problem started a few weeks ago) * The original firmware's USB mode is still working. * Problem observable on two seperate computers with Linux 2.6.17 kernels or later. * If necessary, I can try the device on machines with other OSs. Plugging in the USB cable while Rockbox booted: * The USB picture appears on the player * Computer seems unaware that a device has been connected. * No console messages are generated on the computer * Attaching other USB devices (e.g. a USB key) works and does cause console messages to appear. Thanks for any help. |

I can confirm that the behaviour is exactly the same when connecting to Windows.
If rockbox is booted, the computer doesn't pick up on the connection. If the
player is off then it does.
The behaviour is the same with:
* two different USB cables.
* a subpack and a dock.
* a hub and no hub.
I'll try an old build of rockbox tonight to see if the problem is a recent software
change. I've found one from 2006-12-30 but I can't remember when the problem began,
so this may not be old enough. What's a good way of obtaining an older build?
Another test: The build from 2006-12-30 does not fix the problem.
I'll try to get an older build off svn.
Couldn't get svn to go through my proxy, so I poked around my Trash folder
and found a build from 2006-10-12. Lo! It works!
Something must have broken between 2006-10-12 and 2006-12-30. If anyone
wants me to perform more specific tests, that's cool, but you'll have to
provide somewhere I can easily download builds.
Here is the problem. The file /firmware/target/coldfire/iaudio/x5/usb-x5.c
was changed on Wed Oct 18 2006:
http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi?view=rev&revision=11261
Although the cvs log was "iAudio X5: USB mode working
again", it has exactly the opposite effect on my X5. If I compile
the most recent source as is, the USB mode does not work. If I
change usb-x5.c to the version prior to the above revision, then
it works fine.

the bug does not effect everyone.
In case it's important, I have a X5L 30G.
Ooh! I've just remembered that I have the unsupported dual
boot firmware installed. I'll test with the actual Rockbox
firmware this weekend.
The problem remains.

Problem persists in daily build from end of july 2007 (maybe 29th?, don't remember exactly)
PLEASE fix this first ;-)
Can anyone verify that this bug still exists?
