Chapter 2. Installation

The Rockbox firmware.
Unlike the Sansa firmware, which runs entirely from flash mem-
ory,
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 files, 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 appearance of Rockbox can be customised by themes. Depending on your
taste you might want to install additional themes to change the look of Rockbox.
2.2.1. Automated Installation
To automatically install Rockbox, download the official installer and housekeeping tool
Rockbox Utility
. It allows you to:
•
Automatically install all needed components for using Rockbox (“Minimal Instal-
lation”).
•
Automatically install all suggested components (“Complete Installation”).
•
Selectively install optional components.
•
Install additional fonts and themes.
•
Install voice files and generate talk clips.
•
Uninstall all components you installed using Rockbox Utility.
Prebuilt binaries for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X are available at the
Z
RockboxUtility
wiki page.
When first starting
Rockbox Utility
run “Autodetect”, found in the configuration
dialog (File
→
Configure). 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 filesystem. On Windows, this is
the drive letter the player gets assigned, on other systems this is a path in the filesystem.
