Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
The developers for a port are the people who own the hardware, meaning you!
Why not define an Open Hardware Player and announce that developers of RB would support It, with propose that some hardware company make and sell it online? Can this be realistic or not?
If this is realistic or not is up to the ones who think it is a good idea and the company they pitch the idea for. Perhaps the fact that there's no single such player today could be a hint that companies all over the world won't jump with joy when you approach them with this...Personally, I would only be interested in this sub project if someone would build and sell me this player in a nice package, I won't buy anything that I need to put together myself since I am beyond worthless at such activities and I believe an mp3 player should be small and nice.
Am I dreaming?

So, what's need more? We have microcontroler, SRAM, FLASH, USB, LCD, buttons. What about DAC?
QuoteSo, what's need more? We have microcontroler, SRAM, FLASH, USB, LCD, buttons. What about DAC?Here's what's on the AVR32 cpu:AVR32 based 32-bit MCU/DSPVectored multiplier co-processor, 32 KB on-chip SRAM, 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches, MMU, DMA controller. Peripherals include a 16-bit stereo audio DAC,2048x2048 pixel TFT/STN LCD controllers, 480 Mbps USB 2.0 with on chip transceivers (PHY) and, two 10/100 Ethernet MACs. Serial interfaces include RS232, USART, I2S, AC97, TWI/I2C, SPI, PS/2 and several synchronous serial modules (SSC) supporting most serial communication protocols.So we have the DAC (only need a breakout connection and audio amp)
scharkalvin, do you want to participate? - I mean at buy also your tools.
Sounds interesting. I'll probably lurk around on the forum and irc and jump in with both feet a bit latter. I'll have some more 'mad money' available early next year.
The same rules apply in New Ports as everywhere else folks: If nobody has responded, use the edit button. It's there for a reason.
Found another example of an open source player:http://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/ARM_MP3/AAC_Player
