Rockbox on R-Pi or other ARM based boards

[Injection]

I was wondering if it's possible to port Rockbox on an ARM based board? What is the minimum CPU clock? I have a 72 MHz ARM board. Is it possible to port Rockbox on it?

Most of the players Rockbox runs on have ARM processors.  I'm not sure it makes sense on an RPi though, install linux and run Rockbox as an App if you really want to.

Any arm will work but you want at least 4mb of ram.

I just asked for Pi. I was looking more for a music player integrated to audio amplifier, made of ARM board and LCD touchscreen display, with Rockbox.

Now I took a look at my ARM board, it won't work 

 ARM Cortex-M3 processor, running at frequencies of up to 72 MHz.
 ARM Cortex-M3 built-in Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC).
 32 kB (LPC1343/13)/16 kB (LPC1342)/8 kB (LPC1311) on-chip flash programming
memory.
 8 kB (LPC1343/13)/4 kB (LPC1342/11) SRAM

Yeah without any real RAM you're not going to be running much audio related stuff on that board.

Is there a screenshoot, or even better, a video of Rockbox on Linux? I would like to try it on my Pi, because I need a easy, fast and fulscreen music player, with great audio quality. XBMC is slow and has much bugs. Also, is it possible to scrobble to last.fm?

It would be easiest for you in the long run to just try it out yourself.

A screenshot isn't going to tell you much other than "Don't expect it to be pretty". Checking out the source and compiling your own build will take the best part of an hour, if that. The wiki covers this is detail.

But where to find themes for it? Which resolution is that, when it depends on the size of TV?

Unless your TV is a resolution we support, there won't be any themes for it.

I tried yesterday to install it on my netbook running Ubuntu but at the end I figured out that I was following the wrong tutorial. Where is tutorial for running it on Linux? I'm a total linux newbie, so a beginner's tutorial would be useful 

TV that I currently use with Pi (for testing) is an old 55cm CRT but I will use it mostly with my Full HD Sony LCD TV (81cm).
