sotux you could also join the discussion of rockbox on meizume

... but the second you take the discussion to another site/forum, you lose all the existing thousands of rockbox hackers that come here and that can actually provide help and input.

we cant get the data sheet so their is a Meizu Reverse Engineering page created on wiki. if you have any info about it please add it to the wiki page http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/MeizuReverseEngineering
good luck

Rockbox rules!!! I've installed it on a friend's H340 3 or 4 years ago... As soon as I bought the Meizu, I've hope rockbox will be ported on it... It's like a dream that's coming true!!! I'm can help you on ARM9 language, but maybe if you need some help coding c or whatever else you need, I might help you (not sure if I quite good to do this but I really would to help making this a reality).

Actually, I look for buying a 1GB meizu in order to help with test and beta version when first ports came...

If you rockbox guys see another way which I could you, let me know !!!

Thats great! Ofcourse you can help us. Right now we found the data sheet of the CPU. We need to try to run some simple code on the player.If you have questions you can ask them here or on meizume
Thanks

How do you proceed to run custom code on this target? I mean, is there a recovery mode that lets you go back in case you put some disaster code on it?

vcf · « **Reply #66 on:** March 25, 2008, 09:16:27 AM »

Ofourse there is. Check out http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/MeizuM6Port#Recovery_mode
So we can alive our player after if the code is bad

I still look for a cheap meizu, but obviously, I can't find one. I'm not afraid about flashing mine because we have DFU tool, but I use my M6 every day... Does DFU tool erase just the flash where firmware is, or the whole flash player (including music, etc)

I don't have any ability in assembler coding, but like I said, maybe I can help you when c code will run on meizu

DFU toll eraises everything. but you can save i copy of all your data on you pc, cant you?

Markun made a to do list http://130.89.160.166/rockbox/meizu-todo.txt
LTourist if you know c than you could write drivers for lcd, buttons etc. check the to do list http://130.89.160.166/rockbox/meizu-todo.txt the drivers should mostly be writtrn in c and seldom in assembler. here are some pointers about how to write a driver http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SimpleGuideToCompiling
good luck

Great work, I was hoping to see a port on the m6. Is there a reason, why there is no info about the TP version on the reverse engineering page, or is it just, that the SP and the TP are so similar? I don't really have knowledge in ARM assembly, or embedded development, but If you need any testing to be done on a TP, I would be happy to help. Also, i have experience in C coding, if that can be of use... Keep up the good work!

vcf · « **Reply #70 on:** March 27, 2008, 02:17:38 PM »

yes tp and sp are very simmilar. if you know c than whatch my previous post. you can help us in writing drivers

Rockbox is now being devloped. Here is a small to do list http://130.89.160.166/rockbox/meizu-todo.txt

you guys are amazing.
M6 is pretty popular in China, I'm really looking forward to the port to M6
I know c/c++ and have one M6 SP, so if you need any help plz feel free to contact me

vcf · « **Reply #73 on:** March 30, 2008, 08:13:23 AM »

eulb ofcourse! check the to do list in ma previous post. vou can write drivers as thev need knoladge of c! check out the meizume forum too! there are some pointers about howthe driversshould be written etc.
markun, could you often update the to do list? Because there are many people coming especially on the rockbox forums and i dont know what is already done and what is not.just mark things which are dne with ''done''. Because you work with guys like bagder geavarts A-4. So you knw better
