Rockbox Development > New Ports

porting RockBox to a Mp3/MP4 player with Manufacturer's cooperation

<< < (6/14) > >>

Bagder:
linuxstb is one of the main guys behind the Rockbox ipod port and lots of codec work and more. Lots of us can vouch for his ability to port Rockbox.

And as I said before, there is little motivation for any of us to work for free without having an actual player that would run the code.

In that case, that means there is no doubt on your ability to port it over. However, I still need to know the country you reside in, so I can find the distributor in your country to get you a free(possibly) player.. If in NZ or Australia I can do it personally, other conuntries, I would need some arrangement to be made.. ;)

 ;D What do you think it is capable using rockbox?

(not sure if it helps though....)

Bagder:
It is certainly capable of running Rockbox. ARM9 is typically slightly faster than ARM7 at the same freq and this can run twice as fast as the iPods and they manage quite fine...

Looks like Rockbox is getting the attention it deserve....
