No, all ports have been done by the community.

ethanay:
it really surprises me, I'd love to know more why so many manufacturers choose to spend so many resources on developing inferior firmware instead of just porting rockbox to many compatible hardware options and providing a custom skin.  It seems like a lose/lose situation and waste of effort.

saratoga:
Very few companies do much actual firmware development. Most just skin the firmware that comes with the soc vendor.

ethanay:
Ahh, thanks.  So it is in fact pushed from the hardware side of things...that explains a lot.
