Spark, can you please say what is your background, experience? - hardware design including PCB? Software? or both?

What do you think about the dev board?Since you made the DSPdap, what would you change on that design? - for example, I would stay with the same DAC :-)
why not use ARM instead of AVR32?what was the basis for selecting AVR32 instead of ARM?
AVR32 also have DSP instructions, in spite of some old developers of RB said that is not important for RB, others said that is important because can lower cpu energy eat! And thats an important thing at RB! Some developers said that DSP is hard to program...
Also scharkalvin, one that wants to develop, is favorable to AVR32, to this dev board.
Just a note: Don't think "for them to port to", think "for us to port to."If you make your own player, you're probably going to be doing your own work for the porting, too. Ports happen by those who have the player, as we say with any hardware port.
AVR32 because of that dev board that is "dirty cheap", $73. An equivalent dev board with equivalent ARM should be more than $1000
Some developers said that DSP is hard to program... and I would like to have your opinion, since you used a DSP for DSPdap
The current Rockbox code is fairly highly optimized for coldfire and ARM, and re-making all those for AVR will probably be a significant amount of work.
