I'd be shocked if it didn't have the hardware specs to run rockbox quite well, but the lack of a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack is concerning. It's also not clear if there's expandable storage (they didn't show one side of the device at all, so there _could_ be an SD slot there...) but it looks like a really nice form factor, and the guessimated price point (~$40) is pretty nice too.

Apparently it will be a Funkey S clone by Anbernic which have a internal SD slot, a SOC is a v3s (not k3s) and bad side is a lack of p2 port (need a USB C > P2)

For 40~45 dollars and being easy to sell (Aliexpress) I believe it is a good option to develop a port, let's stay tuned when it launches

If I could wave a wand and build a "just for rockbox" player, I'd pick the S3 as its SoC -- It's essentially the V3s with double the RAM (ie 128MB) but in a much smaller BGA package.

The firmware for the chip is definitely different from Actions. My player enters some kind of upgrade (boot ROM?) mode if VOL (down) is held on reset: enumerates as mass storage VID_301A&PID_2800 and seems to accept C0 00, C0 03..06 vendor-specific commands (only managed to get a CSW back yet); IsActionsFirmware (CC) stalls the endpoint instead.
The company itself seems closely tied to Zhuhai Smartlink Technology Co., Ltd. as they use their USB Vendor ID and website looks almost the same. There's front page excerpts for the datasheets in English in the News section but sadly no other new information. They boast OTA function for the TWS headphone chipsets, I'm currently trying to locate an app responsible to pull some firmware out maybe.

the anbernic is super beefy in specs but also expensive! still worth rockboxing imo i would buy one!
