the k4x56163PI chip is sdram
http://www.samsung.com/global/system/business/semiconductor/product/2007/11/13/236652ds_k4x56163pi.pdf

k9hcg08u is NAND flash, couldn't find a datasheet for it in a quick search.

stmp3570 is a sigmatel SoC for which i couldn't find any datasheet either i found some info on a stmp3560
which seems to be a very integrated SoC that unfortunately is built around some kind of DSP, figuring out what's inside the stmp3570 should be the first thing to decide if a port is feasible at all.

Are you sure it's a stmp3570, and not a stmp3750? Google only find two references to the first, and several to the latter. Also, the stmp3500 series SoC is quite old, whereas stmp37xx is current.

The stmp3570 is a 24 bit DSP, so you won't be able to port Rockbox to any players using it.

I guess thats the end of this :( I was kinda looking forward to try to make a port for it.

Couldn't you change the resampler to convert to 24 bit instead of 16 bit?

I mean the actual device is a 24 Digital Signal Processor.  Rockbox is quite firmly wedded to 32/64 bit cores.  Running on a 24 bit processor would be very difficult.

Your right, it's an STMP3750 Damn dyslexia

Where I can find datasheet for STMP3750?And what a display is used in this player?  I see the following mark D200DN3A80819R0 but i can't find datasheet.
