The build with the new USB DesignWare driver is working very well for me, every connect to a pc works instantly (no more hit or miss like before). Transfer speeds are higher and more consistent for me as well. Great work!

  Cool story brah.   Just kidding Actually this is a great option to have a spare iPod for modding purposes, such as CF/SD adapter mod or those rare ZIF SSDs.

Sorry buddy, I overlooked that!

    If you read back a couple of pages back, you'll find this post: http://www.head-fi.org/t/532426/ipod-classic-rockbox-its-happening/3405#post_12131357       Worked just fine here, thanks! Forgot that iTunes needs to be installed to perform this installation with the Rockbox...

Yup, here you go: http://www.cirrus.com/en/pubs/proDatasheet/CS42L55_F1.pdf

So two patches were merged this morning (or whatever time zone you are in:)) http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/q/status:merged       Upon connecting the Classic and using the Rockbox Utility beta provided by user890104, this new dev build can be installed. Vcore indeed was lowered from...

Windows 7 64 bit, iPod Classic 160GB thin with 2.0.4 in iTunes. It took me a while to realize that I needed iTunes to still be installed when running Rockbox utility. Without it, it got stuck at 60% with the error 'Could not transfer DFU imagen' and 'libusb_error_not_supported'. Having...

  Nice to see, and thank you for your efforts! :)   It's cool to see how many different ways Rockbox can be customized. For the brightness settings I've used the 'quickscreens': go to the brightness setting in the LCD Settings, hold the select button, assign it to both the 'Left' and 'Right'...

  Give it a try with iTunes installed and follow the instructions with the option that you do have iTunes installed (killing the processes etc.).     Edit: not related to the question above, but someone is on fire today

Do you currently have iTunes installed?

  Sure, here you go: http://tempsend.com/46E4724F91

  Tools should be to the right of the emCORE console. Which version are you on?     Since September last year some patch messed up the holdswitch. I've been using a build right before it, it still has great battery life and never crashed even once in all the time I've been using it. USB...

The instructions for updating Rockbox are in the first post. And in the menu of Emcore it's Tools -> fallback image. That build is a little slow, but a proper USB connection seems to work most of the time on it.

And was it working properly before? Have you tried it with several Rockbox builds? Does it behave the same way when you connect it to a different computer? You could also try it with the backup image from Emcore.

  What version of emcore and Rockbox are you on? Are you connecting it to a USB 2.0 port?

Just curious, which build are people here using on their Classic? The newer builds still lack the hold switch detection, so I'm on a build from September last year.

  Yes, I do share that feeling I really hope that the commits for the Classic will be accepted soon so that they will be in the daily build!

  I'm not completely sure, but this might be the problem. Are you a 100% certain that you have a Classic (6th gen iPod) and not a Video (5th gen iPod)? IIRC, the Classic has 64MB of RAM (which is displayed as this partition when installing emcore) and the 30GB version of the Video has 32MB of...

  I haven't updated the first post in quite a while, so be sure to check the instructions on freemyipod.org. Looking at the high activity of patches for the iPod Classic I think I'll wait a bit longer to see what it looks like :)   I'm on EmCORE r859 and some build from last September...

  Yes it is. If you are running 110111 you need to update to Emcore version r859 (released 2012-01-02) before you can use the newer builds.

  Glad I could help! Don't forget to shut down the fallback image afterwards and boot your 'normal' newer daily build for playback, the battery lasts much longer on these builds than it does on the fallback image.

  In my experience it's a bit hit or miss with showing up under My Computer. It's also unpredictable in the daily builds recently, so I'm guessing there is a lot of work going on (and hopefully Rockbox 3.14 will be released soon with full support for the Classic in the Rockbox Utility) What...

Wait, this build for the iPod Classic (6G) actually works on your iPod Video (5.5G)? Wow, didn't expect that! Anyway, it's better to use the specific port for the iPod Video:   iPod Video Development build iPod Video Stable 3.13 Completely delete any existing Rockbox folder on your iPod and...

Thank you! :)   Edit: maybe it's just me, but the LCD screen stays on when the hold switch is enabled

Latest daily build might be a little more power efficient due to this patch: http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/897/   Edit: unfortunately with this build it doesn't show on my pc when I connect to USB, have to use the fallback image for that again..
