Rockbox On Sansa e250 v2 (V03.01.16A) ?

<< < (2/2)

Llorean:
The problem isn't the firmware. They have entirely different hardware. The installed firmware version is just a relatively easy way to identify what hardware is inside without having to open it.

mceric:
Sounds like a complete re writing of RB to talk to the newer hardware then ???.

GodEater:
Not a complete rewrite no - but it requires that people write all the new hardware drivers. After that the same rockbox application code that runs on every other target will work fine.

mceric:
Ok.   I am sure that there would be a bunch of very appreciative V2 owners (myself included) when this is done.    Indeed I recently bought the Sansa expecting that I would be able to run RB instead of the factory firmware (see my first post).  Eric.

if you want to "install" rockbox on your pc to try it out, try using one of these simulators:
