Version 1.0

This first version is more a proof-of-concept than a serious replacement for the stock firmware. Read the release notes.

player-old

This version is for old Archos Jukebox 6000 models with ROM firmware older than 4.50.

• rockbox-1.0-player-old.zip

player

This version is for Archos Jukebox 6000 with ROM firmware 4.50 or later, and all Studio models.

• rockbox-1.0-player.zip

recorder

Version 1.0 does not support the Recorder. Future versions will.

Source code

• rockbox-1.0.tar.gz

User interface simulators

• player simulator 1.0 for linux (42880 bytes) (if you don't have libgcc_s.so.1, get it here)
• recorder simulator 1.0 for linux (51976 bytes)
• recorder simulator 1.0 for win32 (167936 bytes)

The simulators browse a directory called 'archos' in the directory they are started from. Create it and copy some mp3 files there. The buttons are simulated on the numeric keypad:

Player

4/6 = prev/next, 8 = play, 2 = stop, enter = menu, + = on

Recorder

4/6 = left/right, 8/2 = up/down, 5 = play/pause, / * - = menu keys

Installation

Unzip the archive. Rename your current archos.mod (if any) in the root of your archos, then copy the rockbox archos.mod there.

To remove the Rockbox firmware, just reverse the process: Rename the rockbox archos.mod file and replace it with your original firmware file. If you had no firmware file, just renaming or removing the rockbox file is sufficient.

(Note that some models cannot shut off while the power adapter is plugged in.)
