   3   Installing the bootloader is the trickiest part of the installation.
   4   As explained above, we cannot distribute the bootloader directly, and
   5   thus need to patch a compatible version of the MPIO firmware, which
   6   can be downloaded as described above.

   9 \begin{enumerate}
  10    \item Download official Rockbox bootloader for MPIO \playertype{} from
  11    \opt{mpiohd200}{
  12        \url {http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/mpio/hd200}}%
  13    \opt{mpiohd300}{
  14        \url {http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/mpio/hd300}}
  15    and save it to your desktop. The archive contains three files: bootloader.mpio,
  16    bootloader.map and rockbox-info.txt. The first file is actual bootloader, two
  17    others can be used for debugging and are irrelevant for end user.
  18    \item Download mkmpioboot utility from \url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/mpio/mkmpioboot}
  19    \item Process previously downloaded official firmware to include rockbox bootloader.
  20    Open terminal window and type the following command:
  21      \begin{code}[firstline=\opt{mpiohd200}{1}\opt{mpiohd300}{2},
  22                   lastline=\opt{mpiohd200}{1}\opt{mpiohd300}{2}]
  23        mkmpioboot HD200_UPG.SYS bootloader.mpio HD200_UPG.rb
  24        mkmpioboot HD300_UPG.SYS bootloader.mpio HD300_UPG.rb
  25      \end{code}
  26    \item Copy \opt{mpiohd200}{\fname{HD200\_UPG.rb}}%
  27               \opt{mpiohd300}{\fname{HD300\_UPG.rb}}
  28    to the SYSTEM folder of your \dap{} and rename back to
  29    \opt{mpiohd200}{\fname{HD200\_UPG.SYS}}\opt{mpiohd300}{\fname{HD300\_UPG.SYS}}
  30    \item Safe eject your \dap{}
  31    \item Connect Wall charger and turn on the device. This should trigger firmware
  32    upgrade process which will install rockbox bootloader to the flash memory of the
  33    player.
