Thank You for your continued support and contributions!
If money is a problem, I will be willing to donate some for this cause as I've already spent a fortune on this player, I'd be willing to pay some more to get it to work well!
Right, so I was wondering, when jhulst is finally able to hook up the harddrive of one to the computer (I would have a go but I'm still waiting for someone to say how to open the damn thing without using a crowbar).
continue to try to force mount the zen. If only I knew what filesystem it supported it would be so much easier to gain access to it.
1 - The Neuros OSD is based on what seems to be the same chip, and thus there is public code to check out.2 - ArchOpen has code that runs and plays audio on at least one other DM320 -based player, so there is more public code to check out.
I've been spending some time exploring the code from these other projects. There is a lot to go through.
Allow me to re-iterate a few facts:1 - The Neuros OSD is based on what seems to be the same chip, and thus there is public code to check out.2 - ArchOpen has code that runs and plays audio on at least one other DM320 -based player, so there is more public code to check out.AFAIK, the ArchOpen guys start their stuff on a buffer overflow mostly so perhaps you could try that too.
A question about the DSP: is it possible of using the API that Neuros uses ? I know there isn't any open-source alternative, so I thought we could use it or so ? Is this technically possible and, more important, does it comply with the licenses ? I know the DSP * doesn't have to be * implemented, but it would be very nice (especially for the battery-life)...
The Neuros guys have said that you do have to use the DSP since the DSP side is what accesses the DAC so there's no sound otherwise. I guess the ArchOpen guys/source code can either dismiss or confirm this.
Ok well I've finally managed to mount the ZEN as a filesystem in linux using mtpfs. It allows me to see what is seen in windows when browsing the drive. I cannot however read the files:
My opinion now is also that the firmware is not located on the harddrive and is most probably a flash of one of the chips.
The zen is running PMC like the toshiba S. (If I am not mistaken)
