The authors - are in no way responsible for any damage that may occur, no matter how - inconsequential. - -It seems that the Rio has a problem when sending .mp3 with low batteries. -I suggest when the batteries are low and you want to transfer stuff that you -replace it with a fresh one. In my case, what happened is I lost two 16kb -blocks (they are no longer usable to store information to it). But I don't -know if that's normal or not; it could simply be a problem with the flash -memory. - -In an extreme case, I left my Rio playing overnight and the batteries wore -down to nothing and appear to have corrupted the flash memory. My RIO -needed to be replaced as a result. Diamond tech support is aware of the -problem. Do NOT allow your batteries to wear down to nothing before -changing them. It appears RIO 500 firmware does not handle low battery -power well at all. - -On systems with OHCI controllers, the kernel OHCI code appears to have -power on problems with some chipsets. If you are having problems -connecting to your RIO 500, try turning it on first and then plugging it -into the USB cable. - -Contact Information -------------------- - - The main page for the project is hosted at sourceforge.net in the following - URL: <http://rio500.sourceforge.net>. You can also go to the project's - sourceforge home page at: <http://sourceforge.net/projects/rio500/>. - There is also a mailing list: rio500-users@lists.sourceforge.net - -Authors -------- - -Most of the code was written by Cesar Miquel <miquel@df.uba.ar>. Keith -Clayton <kclayton@jps.net> is incharge of the PPC port and making sure -things work there. Bruce Tenison <btenison@dibbs.net> is adding support -for .fon files and also does testing. The program will mostly sure be -re-written and Pete Ikusz along with the rest will re-design it. I would -also like to thank Tri Nguyen <tmn_3022000@hotmail.com> who provided use -with some important information regarding the communication with the Rio. - -Additional Information and userspace tools - - http://rio500.sourceforge.net/ - - -Requirements -============ - -A host with a USB port running a Linux kernel with RIO 500 support enabled. - -The driver is a module called rio500, which should be automatically loaded -as you plug in your device. If that fails you can manually load it with - - modprobe rio500 - -Udev should automatically create a device node as soon as plug in your device. -If that fails, you can manually add a device for the USB rio500:: - - mknod /dev/usb/rio500 c 180 64 - -In that case, set appropriate permissions for /dev/usb/rio500 (don't forget -about group and world permissions). Both read and write permissions are -required for proper operation. - -That's it. The Rio500 Utils at: http://rio500.sourceforge.net should -be able to access the rio500. - -Limits -====== - -You can use only a single rio500 device at a time with your computer. - -Bugs -==== - -If you encounter any problems feel free to drop me an email. - -Bruce Tenison -btenison@dibbs.net |
