rockbox ported to motorola e680i/a780 by blackhawk from mfc
bascule:
What bacorizal was saying (and confirmed by the developer's post as linked above) is that it is indeed running under sdl, i.e., it's actually the Rockbox simulator that is running on the phone.
Still quite cool, though...
bacorizal:
maybe you can contact blackhawk as developer to know why he didn't post it in rockbox forum.thanks
Bagder:
Yes, clearly this is a Linux-based phone. But still, comments in that thread seems to imply that they (he?) tweaked the source to make it run better and it would be interesting to get their views and feedback on this.
LambdaCalculus:
I deleted my previous message since that was a bit out of line.
I went out to Google and checked out the phone. It is indeed a lovely phone, Bagder. I wouldn't mind having one of these.
For those interested, here's its Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_E680
And I saw what bascule was talking about: The source does indeed show it's the simulator. So I take back what I said, and I'll eat my words with some ketchup on top. :P
Quite a nice project indeed!

Not to mention that the GPL obligates him to share the source...
But yes, it would be nice if discussed his work with the devs with a view to possibly including his changes in the official codebase - I'm sure there are many more Linux devices where this sort of "port" would work.
