rockbox-ipod6-ef78472M-120926 up and running over here...
New build: rockbox-ipod6-ef78472M-120926.zip
I reverted some of the voltage changes on the last build because they 1) didn't make a difference on battery life and 2) some reported a change in the sound (bad thing for a head-fier). An initial OPUS (RFC 6716) format support is added in this build.
I'm now focused on providing two builds from now on, one with 48Khz freq as the default and another with 44.1Khz as the default. The former will be better sounding for people with many 48KHz/96Khz music and the later for people with 44.1Khz/88.2Khz music. "Default" means that any file with another freq would be resampled (as it's now), using the linear algorithm on RB, which is not really a quality resampler.
Is this being worked on right now? I'd love to be able to use the HP-P1 with Rockbox sometime in the future, maybe in a year or so.
Very interesting. I've been meaning to look into this for a while now that Opus is going in. What changes were needed other then redfining NATIVE_FREQUENCY to 48000?
Also, since you've posted binaries, have you also posted the source code or patch that goes with them? Usually these are included in the .zip file or else linked from the same page as the zip.

To set the frequency on the Classic, I have to write the code that actually sets it. Look at an example here, specially the function pcm_dma_set_freq:

I doubt support of digital accessories will ever be possible, as Apple has used strong cryptography to ensure that they cannot be used with anything but the Apple software. Unless they have made mistakes in their implementation, and a very talented person finds them, no support will be possible.
Hi everybody,
I'm using my 120gb iPod classic with the build from this page http://www.freemyipod.org/wiki/EmCORE_Releases/r859
It is stable, working great and I'm happy with it. What would be the benefits from Aroldan's build compared to the one I'm using?
Thanks for your help.

1. When I listen to it on my headphones (Klipsch in the ears), it sounds great, but when I plug it into my speakers, I hear some static. Any idea why this would happen?
2. What do people recommend for sound settings? Turn on crossfeed? How to set it up? Turn on EQ? I've tried playing around with different settings but was curious if there is a universally agreed upon optimal set up?
3. Is there a way to listen to the iPod while it's charging? Further, is there an actual "charging" screen? When I plug it into the wall outlet, it still shows the USB plug, like it's hooked up to my computer. Is this normal?
4. What is this OPUS thing in the new build? Is it important?
I'm thinking about installing rockbox on my classic but would someone mind finding out if rockbox has the feature I think all ipods have where the headphones are pulled from the jack and the music pauses? My classic is faulty in that it'll pause all the time even when the headphones are in, common fault from what I've read. If it is still there, is there a way to turn it off? (There isn't in the stock firmware)
Cheers!
