Subject: Update: Rockbox running directly from flash rom (ROMbox)

> ** Procedure: (Recorder V1 / V2 ONLY!)
>
> - Download & install a daily build of 2004-07-30 or later.
> - Download the ROMbox version for your box
> V1: http://arnold-j.bei.t-online.de/Rockbox/rombox-recorder.ucl
> V2: http://arnold-j.bei.t-online.de/Rockbox/rombox-v2.ucl
> and copy it to your box as well
> - RoLo into the daily build.
> - flash rombox-recorder.ucl (V1) or rombox-v2.ucl (V2)
> respectively
> - If flashing went ok: switch off the box and start it again
> - Look into Info->Rockbox Info. The buffer value should be
> > 1.790 MB (It reads 1.798 MB for me. I have the number of files
> per dir set to 300, and the maximum playlist size to 5000)
>
> Play around with it as you would do with ordinary rockbox, and
> report if anything doesn't work as expected. (Expected means
> like ordinary rockbox). The only exception is the flash
> plugin, see below.
>
> Do _not_ delete ajbrec.ajz. You'll need to RoLo into it if you
> want to flash another .ucl later, as you can't flash the ROM
> if Rockbox is running from it. The flash plugin should tell
> you that you are running from ROM and refuse to flash if you
> try that.
>
> If you want to do even more, you could do runtime tests,
> comparing rombox runtimes with ordinary rockbox. I'm
> especially interested in runtime tests with a Recorder v2.
