work on best low cost mp3 player for rockbox
[Saint]:
The various 'Lyre' incarnations, sadly, detail quite clearly the hows and whys of this being a largely impractical and practically insurmountable task.

2) external memory interface so you can build system with 4MB+ of ram
3) I2S block or optionaly integrated codec (DAC+output amplifier)
4) serial or parallel lcd interface
5) sd interface for mass storage
6) serial/parallel flash interface for boot memory
7) Documentation available
8) For this particular application - CHEAP

Hi, What if we add 8MB RAM on system for ATJ2127. Is it capable of porting rockbox?
alexweissman:
Has there ever been a survey done on the types of devices that are actually being used with Rockbox?
If it turns out that the majority of Rockbox'd devices are no longer in production, this could mean that the need for a new device designed specifically for Rockbox is more critical for the survival of the project than it was back in 2006.
wodz:
I don't have DS for atj2127. The limited information I have are that 1) it has very weird memory map (could be no issue with external 8MB of ram) 2) Audio decoding is done in some dedicated DSP block. I don't know if it is easy to interface this with software decoders (as rockbox provides). Other then this rockbox is not particularly well optimized on MIPS. Most of optimizations were done for ARM.

Aside from when the early iPod models were added and then with the Sandisk players in the late 2000s, its usually the case that no supported devices are in production.
