| 2 | |
| 3 | e200rpatcher is a tool for uploading and executing an application to |
| 4 | an E200R in manufacturing mode. It is intended to be used to upload |
| 5 | the patching application to allow Rockbox installs. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | e200rpatcher requires libusb (v0.1.2 has been tested successfully) for |
| 8 | cross-platform USB access. No-one has yet successfully installed |
| 9 | e200rpatcher on Windows, but it works on Linux and Mac OS X (and |
| 10 | should be fine on other Unix-like systems that libusb supports). |
| 11 | |
| 12 | GENERAL BUILD INSTRUCTIONS |
| 13 | |
| 14 | A pre-requisite for compiling e200rpatcher is a file called |
| 15 | "bootloader.bin" - this is the output of running an "I" (installer) |
| 16 | build for the E200R target. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | In the Rockbox source directory, do: |
| 19 | |
| 20 | mkdir build-e200rbootbin |
| 21 | cd build-e200rbootbin |
| 22 | ../tools/configure |
| 23 | [Select E200R, then I for installer] |
| 24 | make |
| 25 | |
| 26 | This should give you a bootloader/bootloader/bin file which you should |
| 27 | copy to the e200rpatcher source directory. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | BUILDING ON LINUX |
| 30 | |
| 31 | The Makefile expects libusb (and the headers) to be installed on your |
| 32 | system and will link dynamically. Just type "make". |
| 33 | |
| 34 | BUILDING ON A MAC |
| 35 | |
| 36 | To build the mac version (target e200rpatcher-mac in the Makefile) |
| 37 | requires three files from libusb to be copied to the current |
| 38 | directory: |
| 39 | |
| 40 | usb.h (copied from your libusb build directory) |
| 41 | libusb-i386.a (copied and renamed from .libs/libusb.a in an i386 build) |
| 42 | libusb-ppc.a (copied and renamed from .libs/libusb.a in a PPC build) |
| 43 | |
| 44 | To build the required libusb.a files, just run ./configure && make for |
| 45 | libusb. If anyone knows how to cross-compile a static libusb.a please |
| 46 | make the information known - this is currently done by compiling |
| 47 | natively on the appropriate hardware. |
