But if they already have one, they aren't likely to use it.  Also, as I said earlier:

Seriously, whilst I applaud donating hardware, it is not very useful to only donate to a dev that already has the same hardware, and saying that donating to a dev without will shift their priorities just isn't the way rockbox works.  Unless it is low level hardware drivers, work done on Rockbox applies to many players, not a specific one.

And since the x5 port is quite mature now - pretty much all the low level hardware stuff is done now - so there's not going to be much more work happening there these days.

LambdaCalculus:
If he wanted to, though, he could offer it to someone (even a dev) for parts or repair. Someone with a broken X5 could use parts from this one to get a fully working X5 out of it.

But like everyone has said, afruff23, the X5 port is very mature now, and aside from USB-OTG, there's really not much to do with it.

I'm sure Linus will make good use of it. I wanted to specifically give it to a Rockbox dev seeing as how I wanted to make a donation to the project.

LambdaCalculus:
Then in that case, you have to ask him yourself if it's okay to send him the X5.
