Creative Zen Vision W

[jacauc]

I searched the forum and could not find anything about the Zen Vision W.
Are there any plans to include this player into the roadmap of the Rockbox project?

I would be glad to jump in and help if there's any existing sub-project  to port to the Zen Vision W.

As with all new ports, first start here:

Second, some progress has already been made on a port to the Zen Vision:M:

Find out more about the hardware inside the Zen Vision:W. Open one up, get scans of the mainboard, and also find out how firmware updates are performed and if there's any recovery mode. If, with any luck, the Zen Vision:W is similar to the ZVM, then a port should be trivial. But do find out first.

Some of the firmware info about the Creative Zen Vision:M also applies to the W

There's some important information here.

Also, a lot of the hardware are the same as the Zen Vision:M, so porting to the ZVW shouldn't be that hard.
