Uninstall all components you installed using Rockbox Utility

Prebuilt binaries for Windows, Linux and MacOS X are available at the ZRockboxUtility wiki page.

Warning: When rst starting Rockbox Utility run \Autodetect", found in the con- guration dialog (File ! Con gure). Autodetection can detect most player types. If autodetection fails or is unable to detect the mountpoint, make sure to enter the correct values. The mountpoint indicates the location of the player in your lesystem. On Win- dows, this is the drive letter the player gets assigned, on other systems this is a path in the lesystem.

Note: Rockbox Utility currently lacks some guiding messages. Please have a look at the manual installation instructions if you are stuck during installation.

2.3.2 Manual Installation

Choosing a Rockbox version

There are three di erent types of rmware binaries available from the Rockbox website: Release version, current build and daily build. You need to decide which one you want to install and get the appropriate version for your player.

Release. The release version is the latest stable release, free of known critical bugs. The current stable release of Rockbox, version 3.1, is available at http://www.rockbox. org/download/.

Current Build. The current build is built at each source code change to the Rockbox SVN repository and represents the current state of Rockbox development. This means that the build could contain bugs but most of the time is safe to use. You can download the current build from http://build.rockbox.org/.

Archived Build. In addition to the release version and the current build, there is also an archive of daily builds available for download. These are built once a day from the latest source code in the SVN repository. You can download archived builds from http://www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml.

Warning: Because current builds and daily builds are development versions which change frequently, they may behave di erently than described in this manual, or they may introduce new (and maybe annoying) bugs. If you do not want to get unde ned behaviour from your player, you should stick to the current stable release if there is one for your player. If you want to help with project development, you can try development builds and help by reporting bugs. Just be aware that these are development builds that are highly functional but not perfect!
