Because it uses some MagicEyes processor which could have a support problem.
Chumby uses freescale which definately has better support. Appnotes and Linux BSP is available. Shematics & Layout available.

Nice to know that we don't loose open documentation, Appnotes, schematics and availability, when changing from Atmel to Freescale :)
So, chumby don't have some things we were looking for Rockbox Player, as USB 2.0 High Speed, SD card and tactile buttons, but have the basic hardware for a functional audio player: USB connection, flash memory for music files, audio out, display and buttons(in form of touchscreen??).
Roger, I wait now for the TWiki page update. Maybe you can create a new prototype version, based on Chumby hardware?
spark:
good it does not have everything, else we would have nothing to do ;)
i suppose instead of creating a new version we just modify V1 page.

We will need to change the hardware on Chumby or not? If not, It will be a port for Chumby - a port with objectives of build the Rockbox Player - and ok, V1 release can be for the Chumby :)

So casainho, did you understand what you did to turn on and off the led lights? What switches was involve and how much current that went though? Have you tried any other led lights or switches? Most of the time you have to follow the schematics. Hope you get your board ready soon for the proto finish.
Talk to you all later, when I'm feeling better.

All ok with LEDs, they did flash as pretended.
Good luck :)
spark:
of course, we have to do hardware design. Enough of talking from my side. I will only post when i have done some work on V1.

I'd be very interested to see support for compact flash internally. that would really sway me to one of these things
