Fiio X1

[Massa]

It is not clear to me yet how will proceed with the 2nd gen yet. After the X1 1st gen port is done, it is actually more logically to port to the X3 1st gen which is very similar (both hardware and software).

As you say it could be easier to port X3 1st gen than to X1 2nd gen - but that would lead to another rockbox port to an outdated device.
IMHO it would really be nice if rockbox could support a buyable device - and not only old ones

I'm still searching for a more modern device which I can buy as replacement for my iPod classic/video - thinner, faster, with bluetooth, with reasonable storage, similar or bigger screen size as with the iPod's and of course with the possibility to use rockbox (at least in not so long future).
I don't know how long the Fiio X1 2nd gen will be on market but currently I think this could be such a device - if a rockbox port is close in hand
And I'm not sure if I could live with the original (limited) firmware

What are the most notable differences between Xduoo X3 and Fiio X1?
I'm asking because i read they are very similar from the hardware point of view...
But maybe they use different pins for different functions... so remapping takes time.

Probably the screen.

Probably the screen.

And which one has the better one?

The XDuoo has a monochromatic 3 line display.
The X1 has a color 320*240 display.

I just saw that there is a fork linked on the xduoo x3 wiki page (https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/XDuooX3)

Could this be used as a base for the x1 port as the main difference seems to be the display?

Isn't it the other way around?  The Xudoo port was based on the Fiio port?

[blubbblubb]

No idea, i just thought as there seems to be more work done for the xduoo (this is also just speculation based on the fact that the link in the wiki points to a useable Port), is there a somewhat useable alpha/beta Port available for the fiio somewhere? If so i would love to try it out.

Xduoo official firmware and fiio official firmware are very different, bootloaders are different, so i guess implementing dual boot takes time, you can't just copy xduoo bootloader to fiio player.

It's a fork made from ingenic's linux sources. There is no fiio port is there?
It can't be merged for some reason iirc.

I own a Fiio X1 of the second revision. (Not the X1II!) What kind of information do we need to get this port working?

[Venty]

Is there any way to determine the Revision of an X1 1st Gen without opening it?

[pamaury]

Hi,
as far as I know there is no obvious way to tell the hardware revision from outside (not it matters tremendously anyway). I just resumed my work on the Fiio X1 (1st gen), I hope I can make more progress this time.

[Taxicletter]

It seems there's not much progress on X1?

I wrote to Fiio and they told me they already cooperated with Rockbox. They responded quite fast, so if you need any information, I think they're happy to help.

Generation 2 is different from generation 1, but I couldn't start a second thread, because the moderators said this one is already here.

I'm very sorry I can't program, because I'd love to help.

I can translate, from English to Dutch, which isn't really that useful I guess...

I recently starting writing some code (for Gen 1) for it but my free time is limited. I might have time to work on it during the christmas break.
