1 The \playername{} has a built-in bootloader which performs the
2 firmware update and can also access the hard drive via USB. The
3 Rockbox bootloader can therefore be very minimalistic, as it does not require
4 it's own USB mode. This makes it less dangerous to install the Rockbox bootloader
5 as you can always restore it using the \playerman{} bootloader.
7 \note{The Rockbox bootloader overwrites the original firmware, making it
8 impossible to dual-boot.}
10 \subsubsection{Installation}
11 \begin{itemize}
12 \item Download the Rockbox bootloader binary from
13 \url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/iaudio/}.
14 \opt{iaudiox5}{Use the \fname{x5v\_fw.bin} file if your \dap{} is an X5V (without radio).
15 If it is an X5 or X5L, use the \fname{x5\_fw.bin} file.}
16 \opt{iaudiom5}{Use the \fname{m5\_fw.bin} file.}
17 \opt{iaudiom3}{Use the \fname{cowon\_m3.bin} file.}
18 \item Copy it to the \fname{FIRMWARE} directory on your \dap{}.
19 \end{itemize}
