Rockbox Ports are now being developed for various digital audio players!
I'm thinking of my Video iPod. I also have the option to turn off the backlight when hold is on. I think it would be nice to also have an option to turn off the screen. When the screen is off, the BCM (DSP chip interfacing to the screen) could also be turned off or put to sleep (if a way to do this can be figured out).
I don't think the BCM chip is even used in Rockbox because there's no information available for it, and I believe said chip is only used to decode video in the OF, rather than all processing all of the information sent to the screen...Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
Maybe name the option "LCD on Hold" with choices "Normal", "Off", "Backlight off" and "Backlight On." I'm not sure how "LCD On" would be any different from "Backlight Off" and "Backlight On" implies the LCD is on, I think.
Another option is to ignore all this have have a simple "Yes/No" option for "LCD off with backlight" that simply turns the LCD off any time the backlight is off, which would mean no other options are necessary.
Not to take this too far off topic - but if you can save 7-8mA with the BCM off (That's, what, ~20% of playback current?)
...What does that reduce the total power consumption to when everything we know how to turn off is off and the cpu is set to its lowest speed?
