Rockbox Development > New Ports
Fiio X1
pamaury:
Hi,
currently the port is for the X1 1st gen, but it should be relatively easy to extend it to the 2nd gen. For reference, the X1II is based on linux but we believe it would be simpler to do a native port and not use linux (for rockbox) at all. But at this point, I have to say I don't own a X1II and I haven't looked into how it works exactly. I'll try to document myself more and come back with some info.

Thanks for the quick reply :)
Based on my previous experience, I'll stay with a model that has already shown some life (loooong time user of RB'd Clips, Clip Zips) - therefore I've ordered one of the last black 1st gen X1 from an online store, just to be sure! The 2nd gen model wouldn't give me any features that are a must over the 1st gen anyway :)

So, the X1 arrived :) Until the RB port is functional, I'll have to use the original firmware of course. Can I update to the latest version, or are there any additional anti-tamper measures built into newer firmwares that could hinder rockboxing it (like the Kindles - an update took away the ability to downgrade firmware)? Many thanks!

I can't speak for X1 specifically, but X5II is fully downgrade-able and I'd suspect X1 too.

Thanks, but my concern was moot... My X1 already came with FW 2.0, so there wouldn't a newer version anyway.
But it is surely good to know that these devices are not locked down tight like Kindles! Thanks :)
