for LCD we can use the serial (SPI based) LCD.

Ok, this sounds very good. But we have the problem of the carrier board, which is out of stock :-(

Or we don't need the carrier board? I think me or my friend at work will be able to solder the 0.5mm pitch :-) - It is pins in PCB, right? is not a plastic?

scharkalvin, do you agree with the L9260 dev board?
http://www.olimex.com/dev/sam9-L9260.html

I created a new page for V1: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/RockboxPlayerV1 - I let the first page for general information and put there a link for V1.
I don't know nothing about tools for developing, can anyone put some description there?

I never used JTAG - what do you think about USBprog for JTAG? - http://www.embedded-projects.net/index.php?page_id=165

I did order that LCD and the SMD connector:
Color LCD - SMD Connector - $1.95
Color LCD 128x128 Nokia Knock-Off - $19.95

I can test the LCD before have the main dev board, I have some dev boards with AVR8 bits, the example code for LCD should work straight :-) :-)

Hi guys,
I am following this discussion with great interest. But one question:
Are you aware that the ARM9 from atmel as well as the olimex board do have USB full speed (12Mbits) only?

I am aware. Looks like that the AT91SAM9R64 have USB high speed, but don't have USB host, just device. Looks like difficult to find a cheap dev board with a SoC that have all that we need/want.
Maybe would be good to find after the V1, one IC just for USB high speed and with OTG. On the V1, at least we can swap memory card for quick copy files.

Hey-

I don't know if this is of any interest, but I just stumbled upon this product.

http://www.buglabs.net/products

The hardware and software are totally open source (from what I understand). The mini computer has modules that you can add-on, such as a screen or camera, but it can take any hardware that someone would make. Here are the stats of the computer:

Technical Specifications
   

    * ARM1136JF-S-based microprocessor
    * 1 USB 2.0 HS host interface/4 hub port connections
    * 1 USB OTG HS interface
    * 4 UART serial links
    * 4 channel SPI interface
    * I2C (400 kbits) interface/4 channels
    * I2S interface/2 channels
    * Smart LCD interface
    * Camera sensor interface
    * Micro memory card interface
    * MPEG4 hardware encoding/decoding
    * Hardware graphic acceleration
    * 10/100 Ethernet MAC
    * 802.11b/g


    * Base unit LCD module interface
    * Base unit onboard memory (FLASH/DDR SDRAM)
    * JTAG/ICE support
    * Serial debug port
    * Power system
    * AC operation
    * Battery operation/up to 4 external batteries
    * Fast battery charging/simultaneous of internal and external batteries
    * Smart power management support
    * Battery-backed real-time clock
    * Audio out via onboard piezo speaker


I hope someone finds this interesting.

Aaron
