Make sure you build your own firmware using the tools of the trade. 2. When you get a crash with an address, check out the archos.map regarding what that particular address is used for. Often, if the problem is not so target-related, trying to reproduce the problem in the simulator is a very good first step as that makes it all much easier to debug and test. 3. Read all the related sources. 4. If possible, modify your unit for gdb-ability. (Not many people do this, since this requires a brave heart and voiding your warranty.) 5. Change, recompile, test and over again. 6. Post the patch that fixes the problem to the patch tracker. -- Daniel "Bagder" Stenberg -- http://rockbox.haxx.se/Received on 2002-10-01 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
