Rockbox

I can confirm also that somewhere between r19819 thru r19826 to present, usb connection does not put ipod 60/80 in disk mode.

I've tried to go back to version 3.1 and it works. In r19859-090126 does not work.
dmesg shows "hub 4-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port <n>" and nothing more.

Is anyone here trying to use the USB stack instead of rebooting? I suspect the iPod difficulties might be a separate issue if XP won't respond. I know I can connect anything I have on an XP box (H10, H105GB, e200, Gigabeat S) for with or without rockbox USB enabled.

I can confirm this with my Sansa e200. I'm having problems connecting to my linux box using the OF as well as Rockbox (with USE_ROCKBOX_USB defined).

Sometimes, after some 10-15 tries, the sanas eventually connects.

I've tried both with and without the usb stack on the ipod, and there's no difference, at least on Linux.

In windows also doesn't work. If I switch to original firmware it works correctly in Ubuntu 8.10 and Windows XP SP2 in my machine. With newest rockbox builds does not work in either.

I am experiencing the same issue on my 60 gig ipod photo. I have narrowed it down that the first daily build this occurs on for this model is 1-23-09, Rev. 19822.

And I have the same issue on my Ipod Nano, after upgrading from v3.1 to r19869 (2009-01-28) (But Rockbox otherwise ran fine)

I rebooted into Apple firmware and USB detection came back, so I then reloaded v3.1. However on connecting with Rockbox running, I receive error message "Data Abort at 00009C9C"

Unhooking and plugging back in seems to clear it, until the next time. Meanwhile, Rockbox otherwise is running fine.

My problems were related to the cable.

I've applied the patch at  FS#8663  ( sd_write_sectors.diff ) and I do not have any problems at all. Connecting in Rockbox works as fine as in the OF (sansa e200 here).

This also sometimes happens on my 5G 30GB iPod with r19870. It seems like it worked if I tried it right after bootup, and it failed if I did other stuff before connecting, but I'm not sure of this pattern.

I'm checking an iPod Video 30GB right now. I confimed it doesn't reboot. Strange thing is that even with an older build that I left on it when I borrowed it, reboot on USB connect didn't work either. It didn't take any action.

Ok, try r19874 or later. With XP, iPod Video and the Sansas seem to all be happy for me. I'm not sure if it will cure anything for the Linux troubles but who knows. We'll work from there if not.

I just tried r19874 on my e200 and it reboots fine into the SanDisk firmware upon insertion of USB.

XP SP3 here, by the way.

Reboots into the OF when plugged into a Linux box on the official r19874 build for the mini2g.

My Sansa E260 reboots into the OF on my Ubuntu box too when connected to the docking station.

Benjamin, that's good right? Not if it's a charger-only plug into the docking station? That part should be long fixed and I tested that by masking the USB data lines with tape before comitting changes.

Michael, if I remove the usb plug from the docking station, it's the official sandisk one, and plugging the E260 in afterwards, I get the small charging icon when using the cabbiev2 theme.

I don't know if there was a bug as the latest rockbox version I used was way before r19819. All I know is that r19877 reboots fine when usb is plugged in.

I just wanted to state (since my post on the forums didn't receive any answers) that r19874 or later didn't fix this USB detection problem for my iPod Video 80GB G5.5 .
I'm using Windows XP SP3. When I connect the data cable to my iPod, nothing happens, not even charging. Went back to 3.1 now and everything works fine again.

The issue appears to be resolved on today's daily build for the ipod photo (r19878). Thanks for the work to the developers who looked into this for us.

Great! it's solved with the build r19879-090129. My iPod 80GB now reboots in disk mode when I plug the USB cable.
Thanks!

Confirmed to work on iPod 30 GB, under GNU/Linux Ubuntu 8.10. Build r19879-090129. Thanks guys!

Also works for me. 5G 30GB iPod, Vista SP1

Upps... Confirmed that build r19879-090129 solved the USB detection problem for my iPod Video 80GB G5.5 too! (I installed the wrong build before, sorry! Ignore my previous post!) Confusing that the zip file of every daily build is named "rockbox.zip" without the build numer! ;D

Christoph, haha! Had me going for a minute! I'll let this go a little bit longer before closing in case anyone has anything to add.
