Olympus m:robe MR-100
Kezza:
There are 2 types MR-100 and MR-500i can rockbox be ported to these if a compiler was purchased and given to the project?
Kezza
Sorry just saw another post about the mr-500i but the question still stands for the mr-100 as it has a different chip
scaramanga_goldengun:
Yes, I'd would also like it if this program were ported to the MR-100. The defualt firmware pretty much sucks, and not much development is possible on it, so anybody? The MR-100 is at least a year old too, and you could probably get one (working, w/ all accessories) between $75-$100.
The only problem I could see is the controls.
lowlight:
I have one and I'm experimenting ;D (but my battery died >:(). I need to find a cheap one to disassemble since there's a metal frame soldered onto the board that obscures some of the chips. The controls should be ok, I'm worried about th lcd and controller.
Bagder:
The mr-100 has a PortalPlayer chip while the mr-500 is TMS320-based
For both an ARM gcc is good enough, with an additional DSP assembler for the mr-500. So no need to buy any compilers or tools at all.
Both architectures are plagued by the fact that there are no public docs for them.
What we need is simply brave and eager souls that step forward and start working on these toys.
lowlight:
I've put some board & chip scans for the MR-100 on the wiki:

Please help id the unknown chips, especially the LCD.
