FS#6193 - iPod Photo reboots while playing

During playback, about every half hour or so, my iPod 4G Color reboots. The boot sequence stops with “Rockbox loaded”, i.e. before the RockBox splash screen, and I have to reboot it again manually. The problem seems to be unrelated to specific MP3 contents, as the second time around Rockbox will not die again at the same place.

I have tried the current daily build as well as the earliest one that’s still available (2006-09-20). Both fail. The version I was using before, 2006-08-19, works correctly.

Seems to be the same iPod CPU scaling crash as reported on  FS#5264  and  FS#5710  .

Hmm. The system_reboot() function was implemented for the iPods on the 20th of September (http://www.rockbox.org/viewcvs.cgi/firmware/system.c.diff?r1=1.119&r2=1.120). I wonder if your problem still happens with that change reversed? Could it be that somehow it is being called and has only been noticed now that it actually does something?

Hmm. Current CVS build (self-built) now does a “data abort at 4fb94”.

… which is here:

and seems to be the interrupt-reenable going haywire. Somebody with more hardware knowledge please look at this …

Ah, yes. It is indeed cpu frequency scaling. It’s a known bug that it is currently causing crashes. There is a patch which is working on fixing this http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6095 .
