Phillips GoGear HDD6330

Well I'm interested in getting my HDD6330 gogear working with RockBox (maybe then i'll actually use it).
I'm willing to take it apart and start the process, once I find it, I'm wondering if anyone else has one that would like to help. I am a programmer but really don't know anything about porting embedded stuff.
If someone can help me port it that would be great (the player is awesome, the buttons are awesome, the way the buttons work on the other hand kinda suck).

The HDD6330 uses a Portalplayer chip, but I see that we don't have a key to decode the firmware:

but I was told that is not needed to run a rockbox bootloader (but could help with the reverse engineering)
btw, it's probably better to look for interested people in a HDD6330 forum (if it exists)

There's a chance that it just uses the 'default' key. Otherwise, mi4code is able to scan for the key once you have a bootloader and mi4 to scan with. See here for brief instructions:

See my problem is that I have no idea what you're talking about (although I do know that it uses the pp5022 (or something like that) which is the same as the IPOD. My plan was to put forth the time to open it up, scan it, maybe buy a parts version and take everything apart to get everything else, and then ask for help from there (granted I'll put in as much as I can, but I don't know how to continue after that).

Well, the first thing is to find out if it definitely uses the PP5020, PP5021, PP5022, PP5024 or something else. If it is, then a lot of the porting work is already done.
But, it's likely that at least the LCD and buttons are different. Hopefully the buttons just use GPIO and would be relatively easy to figure out. For the LCD, you need to find out the exact model number and try to find a datasheet for it.
Scans of the inside including the numbers of the chips and LCD would be a good place to start.

Alright, here's the stuff:
I've included an image, it is the pp5022B-TFF
Not sure if there is more than that with the screen. The buttons also have some cards, they are:
Synaptics
T10056 0538 (could be 710056 0538, it's really small)
ACP5060-13
the other one is the same thing.
Im not sure that I can attach the image. I'll have to post it on one of my sites and post a link.

I found out about rockbox today and I saw my DAP is not supported (yet) by rockbox.
I don't know what the difference is with the 6330 (see
http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=13282.0
). I guess they are pretty similar.. So problems are expected..
I will post more info (specs) in the coming days, so hopefully it can be ported. I'm not new to programming, but I have never coded in C, nor have I ported anything in the past. Willing to try. Otherwise I will be forced into buying a new MP3 player so I can use this player with Unix based systems (had problems with getting the 6320 to work under Linux for 2 years now...).
Never mind, I'm convinced the 6330 is the same as the 6230, but the 6330 has a FM radio, which is missing on the 6230.

Can anyone confirm or deny that the HDD1630 is the same hardware with a smaller drive?

Can't really tell, unless someone wants to tear one open to take a look inside.

I figured that lowlight would have a clue as he committed some work for the HDD1630 during devcon, and had previously worked with the HDD6330.

We should ask him when he stops around again.
I'd ask a friend of mine with a GoGear 6330 to let me look inside, but I don't think she'd appreciate me trashing her only DAP at the moment.

The 1630 and 6330 are almost identical, there is a difference on the keypad and also the 6330 has a rtc, not the 1630.
The other big difference is that the 1630 is a microdrive and the 6330 a hard drive
The service manual for each one is available here

It's been ages since someone posted here, but here's a status update:
I've started to branch the HDD6330 off of the HDD1630 in the build system, so now I can build the HDD6330 as a standalone target. However, due to lack of a proper touchpad driver, I can't add keymaps to the plugins, nor can I do any kind of work on the manual. Because of this, the HDD6330 is still using the touchpad driver from the HDD1630, and navigation is very crude because of it.
The next steps are to get a touchpad driver written and committed, getting keymaps for the plugins, and writing the manual (which I've started a bit of).

Any status updates on this? I just came into possession of one of these players and would like to use it but the port isn't done yet.
I can get the build made and running on my player, but it doesn't play anything :-(
I would love to help with the development effort but I don't really know where to start.
