  • Download the "installer-ipodclassic.ubi" file from the emCORE Releases page
  • Save it to the 64MB-sized "UMSboot" volume
  • Safely eject (or unmount on linux) that volume
  • Disconnect your iPod from your PC
  • Follow the on-screen instructions

If everything worked right, you should now see the emCORE boot menu. If not, please ask for support.

  • Choose the "Rockbox" option
  • Wait for Rockbox to boot (Complaints about the rockbox.ipod file being missing are normal at this point.)
  • Connect your iPod to your computer
  • Wait for the iPod's hard disk drive to connect and become accessible (this might take longer than a minute)
  • Download the "rockbox-ipodclassic.zip" file from the emCORE Releases page
  • Extract its contents to the root directory of your iPod's hard disk drive
  • Safely eject (or unmount on linux) your iPod's hard disk drive
  • Disconnect your iPod from your PC
  • Wait for Rockbox to return to the main menu (may take around half a minute)
  • Shut down Rockbox by holding the play button for several seconds

Congratulations, you have successfully installed emCORE and Rockbox!
