[Gllug] MP3/Ogg player hardware?

Fri Oct 28 12:58:08 UTC 2005

Thanks Minty.
I went to the URL in your mail, read it and did some hunting around and
found that "UMS firmware is not available for the T10, T30, iFP-700 and
iFP-800 series players."
Facking great.
I should have bought the 300 series.
I'll download the iFP-300 UMS firmware and see if it'll work on my iFP-895.
Failing that, I'll try the firmware upgrade for the iFP-895 and see if
opens up any opportunities.
Cheers

I'm not aware that you can update the firmware from within linux : you
need to have it connected to a windows machine.  You can then update
the firmware, at which point it should be a regular usb device, which
you can access from linux (although I haven't actually done the latter
with my iriver device....)

http://www.iriveramerica.com/support/ums.aspx

has some details, but looks kinda old.  Have a hunt around the iriver
support site for "ums" etc, and you should find the appropriate one
for your model.
