2 Installation

2.1 Overview

There are two ways of installing Rockbox: automated and manual. While the manual way is older, more tested and proven to work correctly, the automated installation is based on a nice graphical application that does almost everything for you. It is still important that you have an overview of the installation process to be able to select the correct installation options.

There are three separate components, two of which need to be installed in order to run Rockbox:

The Toshiba bootloader. The Toshiba bootloader is the program that tells your player how to load and start the original rmware. It is also responsible for any emergency, recovery, or disk modes on your player. This bootloader is stored in special ash memory in your Toshiba and comes factory-installed. It is not necessary to modify this in order to install Rockbox.

The Rockbox bootloader. The Rockbox bootloader is loaded from disk by the Toshiba bootloader. It is responsible for loading the Rockbox rmware and for providing the dual boot function. It directly replaces the Toshiba rmware in the player’s

	boot sequence.	b
	Note: Dual boot does not currently work on the Gigabeat.	b

	The Rockbox rmware. Similar to the Toshiba rmware, most of the Rockbox code is
	contained in a \build" that resides on your player’s drive. This makes it easy to
	update Rockbox. The build consists of a directory called .rockbox which contains
	all of the Rockbox les, and is located in the root of your player’s drive.
	Apart from the required parts there are some addons you might be interested in
	installing.
	Fonts. Rockbox can load custom fonts. The fonts are distributed as a separate package
	and thus need to be installed separately. They are not required to run Rockbox
	itself but a lot of themes require the fonts package to be installed.
	Themes. The view of Rockbox can be customized by themes. Depending on your taste
	you might want to install additional themes to change the look of Rockbox.

Graphic equalizers in home stereos are usually peaking lters. The peaking lters in Rockbox’s EQ lets you adjust three dierent parameters for EQ bands 1 through 3. The \center parameter controls the center frequency of the frequency range that is aected as described above. The \gain parameter controls how much each band is adjusted, and works as for the low shelf lter. Finally, the \Q parameter controls how wide or narrow the aected frequency range is. Higher Q values will aect a narrower band of frequencies, while lower Q values will aect a wider band of frequencies 6.9 Dithering 7.2 Repeat Playback Settings7.1 Shue 7.6 Fade on Stop/Pause 7.3 Play Selected First7.4 Fast-Forward/Rewind 7.5 Anti-Skip BuerPage 7.11 Auto-Change Directory 7.10 Beep Volume7.9 Replaygain 7.14 Cuesheet Support b b b b7.12 Pause on Headphone Unplug 7.13 Last.fm Log7.15 Skip Length 8.2 File View 8 General Settings8.1 Playlist Only unknown types Only the extensions of unknown letypes are shown Chapter 8.
