Foehn & Hirsch H16 Sleek Screen MP4 Player 4GB 3.0" TFT Screen Rk2705 and Rockbox.
You can use Rockbox on this player using the rk27xx reference build unmodified.
I have modified a standard cabbie theme to the rk27xx 240x400 layout, music plays very well in fact better quality than the OF using playfx. Many plug-ins also work including Coverflow and Lyricplayer.
To do this I had created base.rkw from rockbox.bin using alemaxx patching tool and placed in the original firmware (.img) image.
Please bear in mind if you try this:-
1) Soft shutdown does not work so you need to use the mechanical on/off switch to turn the
player off, other rk27xx players may not even have this option.
2) You cannot go back to the original firmware unless you open the player and
short out the nand pins to get back into update mode, some players are difficult
to open without damage.
3) No flash memory access from Rockbox or USB transfer, but a 8GB microSD
works fine.
4) Only 5 out of the 6 buttons work, but Rockbox only requires 5 anyway.
5) There is no FM radio option or recording.
In spite of the above overall I have found Rockbox much better than the original firmware, but it might be worth hanging on ‘til the above issues are resolved. ;-)
wodz:
missing FM should be easy to fix. Other things are much harder. I am working on reverse engineering FTL now so hopefully we will get nand access one day.
I dissasembled nand bootloader also so now I understand boot process much better - this opens possibility to provide dualboot option but this needs more work and my resources are rather limited.
Could you bench rockbox sd driver? You will need to hack and build test_disk plugin.

Mortalis: on your site, you have drivers available for download, however, they are .sys files, without INF or EXEs, .sys isn't executable...
EDIT: I am an idiot, although I still can't install the files, as all of my computers are 64-bit intel based, and none of those will install...might have to set up a virtual box here.
EDIT2: I have now tried on a Windows XP machine, and a 32-bit Windows 7 machine, still can't get the drivers to install. On my work computer, it acts like it's doing something, but then it doesn't work. On my 32-bit Windows 7 ExoPC (I forgot I had it) I get the message that "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation" when I right click and choose install.
