Christian, so what do you think that Pasen can do? - did you already see the references of the IC's, the ARM, the stereo codec, etc?

Thanks for your help

ARM-GCC and JTAG cable - USBprog programmer under Linux, it's a possibility.

First I need to have the approval of my friend factory,i spoke with him today but he wasn't in office.
Regarding hardware,what do you mean about documentation?
Doesn't anyone provide you with that,how are you supposed to use the hardware otherwise?
If they just provide the hardware with their driver,It couldn't even be used (i doubt they have rockbox driver  ;D ) so we won't even evaluate it.
I understand the tos link output,but the input seem a little overkill,maybe a a cheap hardware won't even be able to handle an encoding of the fly of it.

About documentation in hardware, I mean the same that were written by Bagder: Manufacturers Hate Customers - http://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2007/09/09/manufacturers-hate-customers/

Please stop with that!! As you can read, that information is already put on wiki page, If you want to help, put there the information:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/RockboxPlayerPrototype
You have questions answered there about the tools to build - the GCC-ARM, etc... :-) :-) - anyway, please help in what you can :-)

I understand your point,but you can't have both side of the medal.
If you chose material easily bought by anyone for "do it yourself" you are greatly limiting the project from a commercial point of view.Both way are not possible to achieve,what is possible i think is make a base in common,and create 2 projects like there are now,but how many do you think would spend double the money to build his own player while he can get the player already made with much more features for half price?
It's ok to keep the project open so that anyone can improve it,but to think that there will be more than a few bunch to really build it i think it's crazy.

I don't understand what you are saying. I don't recall ever saying I wanted to build it myself. Personally I don't really want to build it myself, but I would like an open player that would work nicely with Rockbox. I am willing to sacrifice a few features to have that, or to pay a little more, but not to stupid levels.

About that blanked time for produce, I just would like to have public availably schematic and position of components in the board. No files to produce PCB nor files of the case, etc...
The important is to have information for individuals repair, hack their players.
