[02:26:54] <[Saint]> prof_wolfff: perhaps I'm missing something in the explanation or description, but the "battery trap" as you put it, is easily avoided by charging the device in a powered down state. [02:27:07] <[Saint]> I have a feeling that not many people are aware that these iPods can do that. [02:27:48] <[Saint]> Otherwise - yes, a deep discharged iPod6g is a pain in the arse. [02:28:13] <[Saint]> But you need only leave it charging in a powered down state for ~10 minutes or so to get enough juice to boot.

[23:28:21] yes, it does [23:28:28] executing the original norboot when OF is selected is more simple to implement, but if we want to enter de OF battery trap when OF is selected then the original norboot copy cannot be stored in hard disk and need to find some free space in the NOR flash [23:28:48] oh I thought you were already storing it there? [23:29:26] but as I said, I'd probably just get rid of it - the reverse engineering part of dualboot is done anyway, we just need to glue things together [23:29:41] and that way we can already show a simple UI while deciding which firmware to boot [23:32:08] yes, it can be done, but we lose the original OF battery trap, no problem of that, but the ipod will not boot like an original (nor rockboxed) ipod [23:42:06] i think that could be done in the next stage, once the dualboot is working then implement the RB battery trap and replicate original NORBOOT, this seems the faster boot, even we can use original boot screens when OF is selected (for nostalgics)
