26 May 2004 :

  • I have attached a patch with solves the endpoint problems by looking at the endpoints from the usb_device structure for the addresses; and fixed the datasize problems by not using a hard-coded buffer size, but by using the size returned in the ctl[8] registers. These changes should work for all models and they work for 7XX definitely. (Joseph Roback)

FAQ

  • be sure that you have usbdevfs support either built into your kernel, or loaded as a module; additionally, be sure that usbdevfs is mounted in proc.
  • "no usb devices found" - no usbdevfs available; be sure, you have usb-enabled kernel
  • "no iRiver iFP found" - usb is available, but iFP doesn't seem to be connected; make sure "usb connected" is displayed on the unit; cable reconnecting may sometimes help; try some utility to check your usb topology (http://usbview.sourceforge.net)
  • "unable to open iFP device" - device is used by another process or you have no rights to write to usb devices, try to do that under root's privileges
