Rockbox Development > New Ports
RockChip mp3/mp4 players
Blitz:
hello
I'm new to this forum, and I am planing on developing a port of rock box for most rockchip devices, experimenting with this one in particular: http://www.uxcell.com/uxcell/retail/item/showItemLayout.php?action=showItem&id=mv0wht1024mp058 mp3/mp4 player. I like the price, button interface, and expandability through SD card. I doubt I will be done anytime soon, hardware pics may be up as soon as the summer (in the wiki of course). I'm a bit skeptical about this port myself, delete this post if you see fit.

It looks a lot like some other players from China I've seen: the Ainol V1000 and the PMC-M600. The first uses a Blackfin CPU and I believe the 2nd one too.
Here's a look inside the V1000:

I also have a firmware update for the V1000 which is not encrypted. It contains a lot of GPL and other open source licensed code and some stuff from Microsoft. I'm pretty sure they are not allowed to do that :)
I would also be interested in a port (but am still keeping my eyes open for a nicer Blackfin based DAP). The V1000 is not very expensive either (look on ebay).
Nice that the one you found uses a Nokia battery.
Blitz:
hmmm i think mine and the one you're talking about may use the same or similar firmware as they have many of the same features. i bought mine from a sales-front for the factory that actually builds them! ive e-mailed them and they may be able to get a component manifest and just maybe the source code for the firmware. im waiting for them to get back to me, but this may turn out to be a fairly easy job.

Mhhh, is the RockChip a blackfin based processor?
There is very little information avaialble on this processor (no datasheet) and is used in alot of Chinese DAP (either the 2606A or the 2608A).

I didn't find exactly what is in the RockChip. This link suggests a ARM9 core:
