[Ipodlinux-devel] Updating firmware

[Jeffrey H. <jef...@cl...>]

This may be a little off-topic (not linux related), but I am modifying the
Apple firmware (menu items, bitmaps, etc.)

I have copied off the 32mb partition and made changes to it as a file.
Obviously the next step is loading the new image back onto the ipod.

Is it simply a case of copying the new image onto the 32mb partition again,
or do I have to set an update flag / modified date / firmware version
somewhere so the iPod knows to reload the image?

Also, if something goes wrong, how wrong can it go?!? If I kill the firmware
somehow, can the ipod still connect to firewire/usb and be updated again?

Cheers

Jeff
