*desperate spark of hope* maybe there will be another material revision (just like there was for the Fuze V1 and V2) with the original ARM chip developers use to know...

Well, in case my Fuze breaks, I will buy me a Clip+ sooner or later (the buttons in the Zip seem more fragile than the Clip+)...

No update on this? Seems like an awesome upgrade, as the battery is "sometimes" less than desirable. This gives you bigger battery and screen, while still being very portable and similar. Are the chances for rockboxing it still very slim? Or has anything changed recently?

Realistically, its a port to a completely new processor even if it is feasible.  Check back in a year and see if anyone is working on it.

Hi,
great pictures :) Would it be possible to get pictures of the bottom side of the PCB to see if there are other chips ?
No chips on other side, only buttons and screen

and battery pic if needed

Is there any chips under the screen ?

Is there any chance in speeding up the rockbox firmware writing for the clip sport? like if anyone would be donating one or two or so?
if there is no chance to get rockbox on this thing in the near future is there any player similar to the clip zip which can handle rockbox? cannot think about any portable musicplayer without rockbox anymore. also still using my old ipod 6 with (an unstable? but nicely running) rockbox on it and love it! but that one is just too big for me to take it to the gym or running...

could anyone advise a player alike the clip zip, but maybe a bit more qualitative? I like it very much, but I have now 3 or 4 in two years (I need two at a time. One is recharging and the other in use). ok, lost 1 but on the others the buttons started to  react sloppy to any push etc after a while... maybe it is time for something new...

so give me ideas please :) tank you all

If any active developer were interested in the project, providing them with the device wouldn't be a problem.

As far as I understand the situation, which to my knowledge hasn't changed at all, it is that the general consensus is that the device is under-resourced for a Rockbox port. It is also a different architecture, which means very it would still be rather a lot of work even if someone thought a port was feasible.

What I can tell you, though, is that at this stage absolutely _nothing_ is happening on this front.
Not a single thing.

You could look at it this way. Being completely realistic, if a keen and experienced developer materialized *right now* and started working on a port to this device, you /might/ have something that vaguely resembles a consumer ready product somewhere in the range of "about a year from now, to possibly never".

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

The general consensus is that we don't know yet if the hardware is under-resourced for a Rockbox port.

oh ok. thanks for your detailed answer. i guess then i will just buy a few more Sansa Clip Zips :/

any advice for an alternative rockboxable music player? size around the clip zip (maybe little more like clip sport) and preferably more durable... ?

Clip Sport's higher battery life certainly attracts attention. Since the iPod is being phased out, the Sansa is the only major brand still being worked on, at least in the USA. I'm a little bothered that there's going to be a new Sansa player that will not get Rockbox. Soon we may be back to the days where there are no new players sold in stores that can load Rockbox, unless you count the still-unsupported Android version.

Assuming its even possible to run complex software on the sport (which looks somewhat doubtful given how they had to strip down the normal sandisk OS to the bone just to get it working), you're welcome to work on a port.  Otherwise, no sense being bothered if you're not going to do something about it.

There will still be plenty of used and new iPods on ebay and elsewhere.

Also, I don't think Sandisk will only sell the clip sport, they will most likely sell the Fuze+, Clip+ and Clip Zip along with it, just like they do now.

Well, if Rockbox only exists for developers who are willing to only use hardware built in the previous decade, I guess you're right.

Truth is, DAPs are declining in popularity. :(
