Rockbox Player - Project to design and build a Free/Open hardware audio player
toffe:
For designing the case , you can use this http://www.emachineshop.com/.
Download the software for free, design the case in 3d, and it tell you the price you will pay.
This is ideal for a prototype or small quantities.
For the schematics and routing, , Kicad is a good choice I think.
The only thing is that the library is not big and missing components.
I will like to help but don't have so much free time, but I keep looking what you do.
It would be good to discuss on the irc channel also, it is faster than the forum..

;) - do you have experience with that company? Could you estimate a price for one plastic case, 1 unit?
I will be in IRC during the day :-) - and thanks for helping - stay tunned :-)

i have experience in hardware, firmware and software. personally i like to stay close to board level. i would like to contribute in hardware design.

Ok, about hardware, what can we do now? What do you think about the dev board?
Since you made the DSPdap, what would you change on that design? - for example, I would stay with the same DAC :-)

why not use ARM instead of AVR32?
i am a bit skeptical about the use of an AVR32 processor. we should be using the more universally accepted and supported ARM processor. Almost all the ipods, zune, sansa, ... use an ARM processor. i seriously suggest that we should take an opinion from the rockbox software guys as to which processor is the easiest to port to. There should be minimum efforts for them to port rockbox into the rockbox hardware player.
also ARM has better support for linux and other apps.
what was the basis for selecting AVR32 instead of ARM?
