My 3rd very own custom Rockbox build for Sansa e200

So here’s the binary release and patch log of my 3rd custom Rockbox build for Sansa e200 of todays SVN sources (Revision 15168). No patches have been added since my last build. Rockbox now features full multicore support and packed i2s transactions for PortalPlayer 502x targets. I also rebuilt the bootloader and used the latest Sansapatcher v0.5 to install it, as there are reports of problems booting the OF with older bootloaders.

UPDATE: Take a peek at my latest additions including Rockbox builds in my Rockbox category

The problem with missing special chars (German Umlauts) in the default font chicago12.fnt of SaagarsBigArt Theme can be circumvented by switching to nimbus-13.fnt.

Great news is the ongoing development of an USB stack for Rockbox on PortalPlayer targets. Hopefully we’ll soon be able to access the Sansa flash drive(s) without the need to boot the OF.

You may download my Rockbox build here.

For reasons mentioned above, I built the bootloader. The latest Sansapatcher v0.5 for x86 Linux can be downloaded here. For other versions refer to the manual. This is how I installed the bootloader image:

sudo ./sansapatcher -a /home/scheff/src/rockbox-15168/build/PP5022.mi4

These patches have been updated at the tracker since my 2nd build:
