| |
| The \playerman{} \playername{} has a builtin boot loader which performs the |
| firmware update, and can also access the hard drive via USB. Therefore the |
| Rockbox bootloader can be very minimalistic, without USB mode. |
| This also makes it less dangerous to install the Rockbox bootloader, as you can |
| always restore it using the iAudio bootloader. |
| |
| \note{The current bootloader is not prepared to coexist with the original |
| firmware. It replaces the original firmware. Therefore it is only useful to |
| developers at this point.} |
| |
| \subsubsection{Installation} |
| \begin{itemize} |
| \item Download the bootloader binary from |
| \url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/iaudio/}. Use \fname{x5v\_fw.bin} |
| file if your \dap{} is a X5V. If it is a X5, use the \fname{x5\_fw.bin} file. |
| \item Copy it to the \fname{FIRMWARE} directory on your X5. |
| \item Turn the X5 off, remove the USB cable and insert the charger. The X5 will |
| automatically upgrade the flash with the Rockbox bootloader. |
| \end{itemize} |
| |
| \subsubsection{Restoring the original firmware} |
| \begin{itemize} |
| \item Download the original X5 firmware from the iAudio web site. |
| \item Copy it to the \fname{FIRMWARE} directory on your X5 |
| \item Turn the X5 off, remove the USB cable and insert the charger. The X5 will |
| automatically upgrade the flash with the original firmware. |
| \end{itemize} |
