Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2003 15:27:44 +0100 (MET) Hello FM Flashboxers, now it's your turn, the disk power issue is now fixed for FMs, too. See my post: http://rockbox.haxx.se/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2003-11/0789.shtml for details on that for the recorder. In essence, it is possible that with a flat battery the box locks you out. If the disk wants to spin up, the power demand is higher than what a weak battery and the charger can supply, so the power collapses again. So far, the Archos charging screen (F1+plugin) was the only way to start without disk, but there is a "race condition": If the disk starts to draw power for spinup sooner than the Archos charging screen can cut it, and the battery does not deliver that current surge, you had no chance. Now the bootloader detects the charger and shuts off the disk power asap. I find it quite critical for FMs and V2s to update, since you can't easily charge the battery externally once it went flat. Boot loader updates require a full flash with "firmware_flash.rock" and the files from below, depending on your model: http://joerg.hohensohn.bei.t-online.de/archos/flash/flash_fm.zip http://joerg.hohensohn.bei.t-online.de/archos/flash/flash_v2.zip BTW, is there any flashed V2 yet? Take care, Jörg -- +++ GMX - die erste Adresse für Mail, Message, More +++ Neu: Preissenkung für MMS und FreeMMS! http://www.gmx.netReceived on 2003-12-03 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
