I did not implement the inquiry this way.
What I did is a generic poll inquiry, and the rockbox decides if it has
something new to transmit.
so the response message contains a haeder indicating what is the type of
update.
there is also a no update response message.

As my pic is written in assembly language, I would like to put most of
the intelligence into the rockbox side.

It is actually working fine that way with the software tx patch.
however I found out that usb is no more working. I have to quit rockbox
to plug the usb...

I have some problems with setting track and disc names with my actual
pic code. but the time display is just working fine.

btw: is there an easy way of implementing next/prev folder? (equivalent
to next/prev disc)
it might be useful to implement standard button codes also like 'ON'
,'F1','F2'...

Regards
Sophana
