How can we help on getting Rockbox on the 2G Nano? Is there something we can do - beside of ripping the iPod apart? ;) P.ex.: I have VERY limited knowledge of C - and if I say "VERY limited", I mean it  :D

We need someone with cryptography experience (or a very good understanding of ARM assembly) to crack the encryption used in the Apple firmware.  Then interested developers could start reverse engineering work by looking at Apple's firmware.  Until someone does this, its unlikely that any progress will be made.

Theres no need for anyone to open up their ipod, that wouldn't tell you much of anything useful at this point.

scorche:
There is actually.

You could sneak into Apple headquarters and steal all relevant data.  Or if possible, steal someone with intimate knowledge and coerce him into doing what we want.

 ;)

Honestly, if you aren't a coder or someone with an intimate knowledge of these things or the motivation to become either, there is nothing you can do.

>>saratoga: is there a way you can upload the firmware from the nano 2g?
i have some experience with ARM assembly and cryptography, and might be able to help alle the developers here, with bringing rockobox to the 2g nano :)

GodEater:
In that case I'd post in the "New Ports" thread for the 2g - rather than in the Apple Install forum - which is the wrong place.
