Rockbox as an Application on Pinephone - c3l@ - 10-14-2020
To create a Rockbox build as an application on the Pinephone using Mobian.
For this I flashed Mobian to a 32GB microSd card which the Pinephone will automatically boot from if inserted.
This is building Rockbox the easy way on the device itself so no cross compiling needed.
On the Pinephone in terminal
install git:-
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install git
download Rockbox source:-
git clone git://git.rockbox.org/rockbox
install:-
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install zip
sudo apt-get install make
cd rockbox
mkdir build
cd build
../tools/configure
from the table select target 200 for the SDL app
next leave the default screen size to get a pre-installed ready made theme that just fits on the screen, press
enter on the width and height.
then just press enter again to create the makefile.
make
sudo make fullinstall
which will install Rockbox to the device
in terminal type
rockbox
to run the Rockbox application.
I have tested this out and can confirm audio and some plugins work.

Not familiar with Rockbox but if it works well as a replacement media player on an ipod then it should fly on the pinephone.

Yeah, but how does it sound?
I have used Rockbox on a Clip+ for years. This could be a good way to repurpose the Pinephone....
