A quick look shows that this is based on the X1000E SoC and surprisingly, they provide a firmware updae for the unit. Poking into that it appears to be built on the same HibyOS platform as their F20 player (and several others rockbox already has ports for)
It probably wouldn't take that much work to produce a hosted port to this thing -- we'd need to patch the firmware update image to enable adb, and start poking around. Once we get some basic operational parameters (mainly screen resolution) a bootloader binary can be generated, and from there, the complete rockbox applicaiton will just require mappings for buttons and audio interaction.

Sounds good! How can I help?

there are already some things i can report, pressing power and previous track flashes the firmware update thats on the sd card, and pressing power and next track puts the device in an black screen mode, dont know for sure what thats for though

ok, so, the power + next track key combo is usb boot, however after getting a linux usb and installing adb and booting it with the erosq/jztool method i only got a black screen with the backlight on
