   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 HD200 from
  11    \url {http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/mpio/hd200/}
  12    and save it to your desktop. The archive contains three files: bootloader.mpio,
  13    bootloader.map and rockbox-info.txt. The first file is actual bootloader, two
  14    others can be used for debugging and are irrelevant for end user.
  15    \item Build mkmpioboot tool (rbutil/mkmpioboot directory in rockbox source tree)
  16    \item Process previously downloaded official firmware to include rockbox bootloader.
  17    Open terminal window and type the following command:
  18      \begin{code}
  19        mkmpioboot HD200_UPG.SYS bootloader.mpio HD200_UPG.rb
  20      \end{code}
  21    \item Copy \fname{HD200\_UPG.rb} to the SYSTEM folder of your \dap{} and rename back to
  22    \fname{HD200\_UPG.SYS}
  23    \item Safe eject your \dap{}
  24    \item Connect Wall charger and turn on the device. This should trigger firmware
  25    upgrade process which will install rockbox bootloader to the flash memory of the
  26    player.
