Hi,
I've been following this post for a while now and noticed all the progress being made (thank you!). I wanted to be ready for when if this port became usable so I actually ordered a 16G and it's scheduled to be delivered mid next week, so I'm willing to test it out.
This will be my first time testing something so early in development, but I do have plenty of other experience in using non-stock firmwares on other small electronics - my last two phones and my nook color all run custom Android ROM's and I had an iRiver HP-120 that had rockbox on it. So don't worry, I know the risks and am willing to ignore them :)
Once I get it in, I'll run through the wiki and I guess I'll just post if I run into any snags?
Thanks, and cheers!

Hello Pamaury,
My device is 16GB and I will test it as soon as possible. For the moment I'm travelling around so I'll will not be able to do so before a few days.

Hi,
one more note about dual-booting. I finally found how the OF booted by disassembling the boot ROM. I now see a way of dual-booting provided that the i2c epprom is not write protected.
The simplest way would be to put the bootloader in the i2c chip (so 64kb at most) which would have three sections:
* first section decide which one to boot (OF or RB) and branch to the related section
* the RB section boots rockbox normally
* the OF section changes boot mode to SSP2 so that it boots normallyThe only annoying point here is that the bootloader would be limited to 64kb which will require to rewrite to the OF init code for EMI (memory), voltages and frequencies but it shouldn't be a major problem.
pamaury:
Hum, in fact I made an error while reading: the i2c eeprom chip is only 8kb large :(
This means that dual-booting will be a little bit more tricky than expected.
On the positive side, I found out the pins used by the FM radio chip which is a si7403 as expected. It seems that it is RDS capable but rockbox doesn't handle this yet. I'm now focusing on the audio part: recording and playing.

hi,
i'm in the process of building the bootloader, and keep running into an issue with the sbtoelf tool.
it seems no matter how i try and run it, i always get a 'command not found' error.
i'm running the code shown here in the SansaFuzePlusPort page after building a regular bootloader using the cross compiler:
--- Code: ---sbtoelf firmware.sb fuze+_key_file.txt OUT.
--- End code ---
from the wiki after the code:
--- Quote ---where the sbtoelf tool can be found in the trunk in utils/sbtools/ along with fuze+_key_file.txt; this should produce lots of output and several files:
--- End quote ---
does this mean that all three files (the sbtoelf.c tool, the firmware, and the fuze+_key_file) need to be in the same file folder? I've tried that and i get the error above.
any help would be appreciated. thanks.
