LambdaCalculus:
If possible, can you scan the back of the LCD? I tried searching Giantplus' site, but can't find the LCD model we're looking for.

Also, look at the chips on the back of the device and post what you find on the wiki page.

saratoga:
Its great that you guys are interested, but without a compiler, I think you're just wasting your time.

PinguinXY:
There are no devices than the Buttons for the navigation on the Back and the LC Display.... But I'm working on it...

I think in about 20minutes the Scanner should work :-D
and after that I will post the Images in the wiki and look for an firmware upgrade :-)


Edit:

hmm I sent a mail to Sigmatel and got THIS replay... -.-

That's to be expected. Not many chip manufacturers will just hand you datasheets if you ask. Most of them won't even let you see one without signing a whacking huge NDA, which effectively renders asking for datasheets moot, since we won't be able to read them. (NDAs usually state that you have to keep the information in datasheets confidential and not share them with anyone else.)

Also, as I stated above, having no free toolchain for the SigmaTel chips is going to be a big problem. Unless you're willing to pay around $12,000, and be the only one allowed to use the kit, there's not many options we have.

However, with Freescale Semiconductor recently purchasing SigmaTel, things may change; details on that are here if you're interested.

PinguinXY:
thank you for introducing me into another part of capitalism :-D I think I'll have to pay for the Datasheet... 12$ isn't too much... especialy now... ( I think one € is aboeut 1.5$)

The Partt with Freescale I don't understand... What does this contract me to us?
(I'm not a native Englishspeaker and didn't understand everything :-/ )


EDIT:
I read the wiki on how to work for a new port several times now... and also the Wiki PortingHowTo but I don't understand what I exectly have to do after I found everything about the Hardware... Do I only have to take an existing Built and change the values? Or do I have to write a totaly new Firmware?
