The current firmware seems to be 3.xx (something).
Have found an earlier version of the firmware here:

Pictures coming, just had to write all it down ;-)

Tips wanted: Which existing port is the best to start with?

Have been programming embedded software for a living for a number of years, but still I do not feel too confident.

We have a lot of code for tcc77x devices:

http://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=tree;f=firmware/target/arm/tcc77x;h=ef528a55913482a910e8bd663da31e5da4a2712d;hb=HEAD

Its probably not too hard to reuse one of the existing targets to get a bootloader going, and that device has a hard disk so you shouldn't run into the usual trouble with getting the telechips NAND controller working.
