Can someone post the latest news on ipod classic support?
What can I do to contribute? I don't know any of the low-level programming needed to rip firmware, but I can follow instructions to test things out.
Are the ipod classic 80/160, 120, and 160 all three entirely different generations within themselves, or will one rockbox edition work across all three? I'm asking because would I need to donate just an 80gig, or an 80 and a 120? As far as I know, the 160 (most recent) just takes advantage of increased platter density, unless I'm wrong. I read that you're past the point of potentially bricking an ipod, but would a donation be of any use, or are y'all not equipped to rip and decrypt the firmware?
Would cyanogen (android custom rom creator...but I can't recall if he was involved in getting root from Android) be of any assistance in this, since it's linux-based? Would shipping the ipod to a professional data recovery center, such as http://www.eprovided.com/ be useful? They charge an arm and a leg for tearing apart a hard drive for low-level recovery (or soldering a chip to a diagnostic board for the raw data), but is there any reason to do such a thing at this point, or is just cracking the encryption where the project is stuck?
Whatever the case, please post the latest news and what you need from us, the appreciative users =]

The lack of posts is the latest news. There's information on the wiki, but if it doesn't change that generally means the situation hasn't changed.
As well, Rockbox is not Linux based.

AFAIK the wiki is up to date. Take a look at it.

Other then programming theres not much else to do.

The main issue is that no one is working on a port to the classic. Donating might help if you got someone interested in working on it.

Thanks. Donated from jon8rfc@yahoo.com!
What about an ipod classic donation?
