| Build your own archos.mod (or ajbrec.ajz) |
| |
| 1. Check out 'firmware', 'apps', 'docs' and 'tools' from CVS (or possibly from |
| a downloaded archive). You may possibly want 'uisimulator' too (for trying |
| out things on host before making target tests). |
| |
| If you do want to play with the simulator, read UISIMULATOR. |
| |
| 2. Build the tools by running 'make' in the tools/ directory. |
| |
| 3. Create your own build directory, preferably in the same directory as the |
| firmware/ and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be |
| put. |
| |
| 4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what |
| target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not. It'll |
| prompt you. The debug version is for making a gdb version out of it. It is |
| only useful if you run gdb towards your target Archos. |
| |
| 5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you. |
| |
| 6. Make sure you have sh-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure that you |
| have 'perl' in your PATH too. |
| |
| 7. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps |
| directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you. |
| |
| 8. Copy the archos.mod/ajbrec.ajz file to your archos, reboot it and *smile*. |
| Recent Rockbox versions need no reboots, just PLAY a new rockbox version |
| and that'll be loaded and replace the currently running version. |
| |
| Whenever the tools/configure script gets updated, you can make your makefile |
| updated too by running 'tools/configure update' |
| |
| If you want to build for more than one target, just create a new build |
| directory and create a setup for another target combination in there. |
