| The \playername{} has a built-in bootloader which performs the |
| firmware update and can also access the hard drive via USB. The |
| Rockbox bootloader can therefore be very minimalistic, as it does not require |
| it's own USB mode. This makes it less dangerous to install the Rockbox bootloader |
| as you can always restore it using the \playerman{} bootloader. |
| |
| \note{The Rockbox bootloader overwrites the original firmware, making it |
| impossible to dual-boot.} |
| |
| \subsubsection{Installation} |
| \begin{itemize} |
| \item Download the Rockbox bootloader binary from |
| \url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/iaudio/}. |
| \opt{x5}{Use the \fname{x5v\_fw.bin} file if your \dap{} is a X5V. If it is a X5 |
| or X5L, use the \fname{x5\_fw.bin} file.} |
| \opt{m5}{Use the \fname{m5\_fw.bin} file.} |
| \item Copy it to the \fname{FIRMWARE} directory on your \dap{}. |
| \item Turn the \dap{} off, remove the USB cable and insert the charger. The |
| Rockbox bootloader will automatically be flashed. |
| \end{itemize} |
