The contents survuves a power cycling, but not a battery change. It would be nice to store info (e.g. FAT table offset, File offset) of a song there for a mid song resume even across on/off. 44 bytes might not be long enough for the entire directory/file path, but certainly good enough for the offset info. Might have to figure out whether or not this info should be made invalid after running USB hard drive mode as the user might play around with defrag. :) This is nicer than trying to write it to hard drive as there are possibilities of data corruption (Write cache etc...) writing just prior to powering down the drive. It would be nice if a more permanent copy of the user preferences (i.e. volume setting etc.) is saved on hard drive so that you don't have to reset that every single time you have to replace the battery. This copy is only needed if the non-volatile RAM contents for preferences are corrupted. Anyone reading this ?? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bjorn Stenberg (zagor) Date: 2002-08-09 12:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1157 The latest release uses the RTC for storing settings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=439121&aid=574014&group_id=44306 Received on 2002-08-09 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
