Archos Ondio Backlight MOD rockbox

Hello, all I read http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/OndioBacklight And here's my question: Does rockbox actually can handle the backlight pin on the ondios? So is i worth for us to do the modification? Jörg H., do you run rockbox with light on your modded ondio? Joerch

(I must say the code lacks some comments, sometimes ;). At the moment, I'm just looking round the sources trying to understand them. Would it be useful for people like myself to submit comment patches? As I look round the code, I could add comments when I work out what something does, and

Hi list, Today I tried to enable REAL_LED on the X5L by editing firmware/drivers/led.c and adding the needed pcf50606_write() to led() and changing LED_CONFIG #define in firmware/export/config-iaudiox5.h The effects of this were: 1. the red led lit up on boot 2. RB hanged at the boot screen 3.

No, prolly thanks to the ice; I hope the HDD didn't suffer much (as it's adjacent to the bigger battery). I believe the PCF50606 went berserk, but upon disconnecting it will reset (when battery is connected the pcf never shuts down, it just stands by). I'll watch it closely, though. BTW, I

Good news - I connected the battery wire and it boots OK. I still have some screws to tighten, but it'll prolly survive. Just don't try this at home. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of RaeNye Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 7:19 PM To: 'Rockbox

Well, I think I'll toss my two cents in... There have been a few occasions where I simply head to the Flyspray bug reports page, pick out one that's rather simple, fix, and commit it. I'm quite the opposite of a 'core dev' - I hardly know enough to fix half the bugs on the tracker (especially

Ah, but the battery life issue on H300 is an actual major bug, most likely, rather than simply our software running less efficiently than it could. At least, that seems to be the current belief. So instead of an improvement, it's a real bug. People can still download the 3.0 source and compile

I agree, with the ability of anyone to close bug reports, you should be able to close them with a message like This should be fixed in CVS now. Open a new one if the bug still exists, with updated instructions on how to reproduce them with a new build. On 5/31/06, Daniel Stenberg [EMAIL PROTECTED]
