Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
but... isnt the whole point of the mini2440 to show how geeky you really are? hiding it behind a plastic case just feels wrong :p
(mine is still in a semi broken state )
I decided running rockbox would be a waste, I'm working on getting linux going and then rockbox as an app so I can have storage on the network
stop talking crazy!rockbox as an app is one of our long term goals and this seem to be a perfect testbed
No, you were told that the Cortex-M3 will not work because it can only run Thumb2 instructions, and Rockbox cannot currently be compiled for Thumb/Thumb2 (it's been tried in the past and makes things go wrong for reasons nobody spent enough time to figure out).Whether a specific M3 setup is actually fast enough is a totally different issue. In terms of raw CPU performance the M3 is unlikely to be *slower* than an ARM7 (e.g. PortalPlayer) at the same clock speed, and may be significantly faster (ARM has gotten a lot better over the years)... but memory accesses might be too slow, perhaps (not sure what the caching arrangements are for the available M3-based chips).
I think it would be a waste to develop something like this for 1 messly custom made MP3 player because nobody on here would be able to use it or develop for it except you...
Maybe you should help me with my Rockbox Port for PSP GO PM Me...
I don't want to be mean, but if you want to use atmel arm, you will need to be able to embed the system to introduce a firmware like Rockbox.

casainho,That would be an excellent board, what will be an approximate cost? Looks like around $200US.
hay would mined explain how you would make an mp3 player cus i would like to build one myself.Thanks.
