PHATDB 0.0.2

PHATDB project is a tool to generate database and signature files for mCD (enhanced cd) / Kenwood ACDrive Car Stereo Head Units. Building You need libid3tag and openssl (libcrypto) to build phatdb. ./configure make make install Usage ACDrive USB headunits understand FAT formatted disk only, furthermore, the database must contain short (8.3) filenames. For phatdb to generate the database correctly, USB drives MUST be mounted as msdos (NOT vfat) so that the short filenames are shown. NOTE: Since version 0.0.2, this is no longer necessary. Linux has an ioctl which allows retrieval of short filenames from mounted vfat volumes. For a disk to be recognised by an ACDrive head-unit, it must contain an mcd directory in its root. This directory must contain the files: pkeys2.e pkeys2.sig These files are NOT distributed with phatdb, they can be found in the phatnoise distribution or on the sample mCD CD which came with your head-unit. To generate a database with all the music on a USB hard-drive mounted at /media/usbdisk: phatdb -g /media/usbdisk This will create the files: /media/usbdisk/mcd/mcd.db /media/usbdisk/mcd/mcd.sig The disk should now play as enhanced media in your head-unit.
