Philips GoGear SA52xx

ATTIKIT you're right, thank you. there's a firmware.dat and a player.rom. what is the player.rom for?
I'm currently a bit busy, but maybe this helps somehow. I hope I can do more work on this soon even though I'm a great noob  so I'll need a lot of tips 

there's also an info.dat file with the following text:

lol I might have to buy this player to help this port were can I get this player do you have a link please?

[ishottuify]

where do you get the player.rom and firmware.dat ...?
if it's from the vibe/17 firmware update it's no good.
attikit, what country do you live in...?
i can get you a refurbished one depending onn location

[Laci]

where do you get the player.rom and firmware.dat ...?

install Device manager for 52xx, then look in the directories where its installed. There is one called "Firmware"

[ishottuify]

a .rom file extension is a read only memory image file
i think attakit is right when he said that the firmware version upgrade is pulled from that directory

[rottenzombie]

Laci is right...it's not from the vibe it's from the SA5285(our player). I can upload the files somewhere if you want.
ATTIKIT, it's really cool that you want to help. I'm quite busy with studying right now but if you tell me what to do I think I can make it. I can do some programming too, although I mostly do stuff in java right now(I'm studying CS too). so I'm not totally a noob  Just never done ports or anything like that, but it's very interesting.

[ishottuify]

I have a sa5245, which is the 4gb version of what you have rottenzombie.
I'll help out here too but i'm noobish at programming
Would like to give it a shot though 
what should i be doing next...?
any and all ideas plz

Well I can't port rockbox to a player I dont own so I live in the U.S and I am a programmer in C# so...

i have updated the wiki page to also comply with sa5245 which is very similar to sa5285 except for the gb difference (obviously).

[rottenzombie]

@ishottuify
nice, the more the merrier
@ATTIKIT
you can buy a refurbished version in this amazon shop: http://www.amazon.com/shops/cphdeals
couldn't you just tell us what to do next? I wanted to get a small screwdriver so I can deconstruct the player a little further and get more info on the rest of the hardware...if that's needed.

[ishottuify]

i have updated the pcb picture rottenzombie
you don't need to take apart your player anymore 
will update again when i figure out the lcd controller 

edit: managed to completly open the player and will update the wiki with pics.
@rottenzombie
be very careful not to damage the battery or pcb if you are still going to open up your player...
i had some close calls while opening mine   

edit: posted pics will update with better labeled pics

[rottenzombie]

thanks...I guess the parts are the same(except of the ram), so I don't think I will have take apart my player too.
I think we're starting to go somewhere now. wish I had more time to work on this

@ishottuify: you have the model with bluetooth right?
I can see the icon of it.

btw: does rockbox support bluethooth?

[ishottuify]

after some investigation and help down at the irc, i was able to find out that the cirrus chip is probably the rtc. there is also some telechips code in svn but it is not tcc8300 (tcc77x and tcc780x). there is also the philips sa9200 directory which uses the same nand flash memory as ours.

@laci
rockbox does not support bluetooth as far as i know

[Chronon]

I can confirm that there is currently no  bluetooth-related code in Rockbox at the moment.
