RockBox on Sandisk Cip Sport Plus

(1/1)

highintensity:
Hello All! Recently I bought a Sandisk Clip Sport Plus (32 GB), and I researched online for how to install RockBox on it. However, none of the available RockBox mods for Sandisk players support the Clip Sport Plus. Has there been no mod developed yet for this Sandisk player? I would do it myself but I do not have enough coding experience. Any help would be appreciated.

Thew:
The newer chip used in the recent Sandisk players like the Sport Plus can't run Rockbox.

Hi @Thew, why do you say:

Is there a technical reason, why Rockbox can not be compiled for the new chip
OR
is it just a matter of time, resource and energy to cross-compile and test it?

As a long year happy user of Rockbox I might be willing to invest some of my time to contribute to the efforts required. Especially, since I just acquired the Sandisk Clip Sport Plus (32GB) without previously checking if Rockbox already supports it. But now I had to realize how much better the Rockbox interfaces and usability on my old Sandisk was. ;-)

It’s technical as Rockbox requires RAM to run and the chip in the Sports Plus just doesn’t have enough. If you search this Forum you will find this has been pointed out many times.
