teotwawki:
Hi all, newbie here.
Would anyone like to guesstimate roughly how many man hours it would take to port?
I've read through the porting notes and note the following:
The RPi is open, easily reprogrammed, cannot be bricked.
We even have most of the data from Broadcom for the BCM2835 SoC.
The input is by up to 8 GPIO pins.
The display is HDMI and/or Composite Video - is this easier or harder than an undocumented LCD?
Would the ROCKbox user interface be awful on a TV size display?

Thanks for opinions,

saratoga:
Do they provide the source code for their drivers?

torne:
It seems moderately silly to port Rockbox to the raspberry pi as a firmware when it's capable of running a full Linux desktop...

gbl08ma:
At most, Rockbox as an application could be something to consider. But why port yet another audio player when there are so many you can install on the Linux distros that run on the Raspberry Pi?

Well if you are running a full Linux distro, and connected to a TV via HDMI, that may be true.

What about if you want to make an embedded car media system, that uses a LCD display and the GPIO as it's controller/display.
