The Orpheus name may be a bad idea : there is already open source media player software with that name: http://thekonst.net/orpheus/

Hi,
I don't want to sound rude, but dkamin, I can't agree more with Casainho:

Yes, you should definitely talk to the rest of us in the group, because this is a shared effort not an every-man-for-himself development. So it'd be nice if you could follow the rules we have, which obviously include asking the rest of the people what do we think if you did this or that.

We have question to discuss here -- micro-SD don't have SPI bus, just SD Bus which mean we will need to pay royalties to use it :-( -- actual code is working for SD Card using SPI bus.
--- End quote ---
Again please ask, not just do whatever you think.

- what is your motivation?
- in what can you help on the project?
- what you do professionally? do you have some projects yours that we can see?
- will you share the schematic and board layout with a Open Source license?
--- End quote ---
Yes, you should have started introducing yourself and saying how you can help and asking for what might need doing.
Don't take me wrong, dkamin, I'm happy there's another hardware guy around but I don't want you to take completely over the hardware development because there's more people who want to take part and who have been here for longer, like me, for example.
Thanks,
Alex

This thread has been about various attempts at building a player. You weren't first here. Please don't think you're the one who should tell the world what to do or not to do, and try to make use of contructive criticism instead of dismissing it out of hand.
Llorean:
Within the scope of your personal project you can do whatever you want. This thread is on the Rockbox forums, and although it's mostly about a specific player, it's
A) About the software porting, since this is the Rockbox forum, and not your hardware forum.
B) About any hardware designs, not just yours, because this is the Rockbox forum, and not your hardware forum.
As it is, we could be asking YOU to communicate more here about your software development work (patches on the tracker, and such). At the moment you've basically forked Rockbox and are working on it in your own space, rather than attempting to bring your software work back to the core project (we could probably have much of your in-progress code in SVN as long as you've been trying to follow the Rockbox coding styles, etc).
Instead, we aren't coming into your space and saying "Look guys, this belongs to us, you need to do it our way." So please, don't come into our space and tell interested contributors that this project belongs to you. You've released your designs under a free license. He's not obligated to make his version of the hardware your way, and he's not posting in your space anyway.
