Hi, I see on the wiki that we don't yet have a working utility to talk to the DFU mode on the newer iPods, using the "dfu-util" program from OpenMoko.
You may want to take a look at meizu_dfu.c in Rockbox SVN. Check out the SVN sources and look inside utils/meizu_dfu. I don't remember the exact details, but the DFU mode on the Samsung CPU's seem to deviate a bit from the standards, therefore OpenMoko's dfu-util won't work. To analyze Apple's DFU mode, and to debug and enhance the utility, you can use VirtualBox (the non-open source edition) on Linux and enable USB passthrough, then monitor the USB traffic with usbmon. I did just that with my Meizu, then analyzed the protocol and wrote meizu_dfu to mimic the behaviour of Samsung's DFU utility. From a development cost point of view, I think Apple's DFU mode shouldn't be too much different. As for me, I only have a 1st gen Nano and 5.5G iPods, but I would love to see Linux/Rockbox/whatever run on the 6G iPods. So... Good luck. -- William Poetra Yoga Hadisoeseno _______________________________________________ Linux4nano-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/linux4nano-dev http://www.linux4nano.org
