Samsung T9

[gnu]

Can't yu get a linux-live-CD? They don't need to be installed - but I don't use Linux myself, so I don't know if compiling would work with them..

when finished, can I ask a rockbox dev to compile it for me?

Hmmm, you might have trouble with this.  Not because the devs aren't willing to help, but in the course of developing you are going to need to compile A LOT.  I don't think it is on to ask devs to do this every single time.  Is there a specific reason you can't use either cygwin, VMWare of CoLinux development platforms?  I think you will have a really hard time trying to develop without being able to compile.

Meh, I dont think my dad will want me to install it, but whatever. I cant open the goddamn thing. I got the top 2 out, but I cant get the bottom 2!

Will it be extremely hard to port to an ARM (Samsung OEM)?

[t-nine]

Im a total n00b! Im only trying to port Rockbox to the Samsung YP-T9 because no one else will! Anyways, I have the first step completed. I have all the pics, and information (just need to put it in the twiki), but Im having trouble porting it, the instructions arent very in-depth. Can someone tell me how to port Rockbox in a little more detail?

"Im a total n00b" doesn't sound like a good start -- for starting a new port you'll need quite some knowledge of C and embedded programming. Anyway, asking in IRC is a much better way as devs tend to hand around there instead of the forums. Forums are too slow

t-nine, I've merged your topics. Nothing moves out of the New Ports board until it has a working port

I presume you have read
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/NewPort and
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PortingHowTo ?

[t-nine]

Yeah, thanks. I need to goto the IRC anyways to get wiki write permission.

[t-nine]

Ok, I set up a dedicated port page at- http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/samsungt9

[Bagder]

grrrr

I renamed your crappily named page to something sensible and in the style of other pages... and then you go recreate that bad name again...

I'll re-rename it now and can you PLEASE use the new name?

New URL: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SamsungT9Port

hey you guys still working on this?

No one was never anyone working on it.

[AlexP]

It seems to me you need a team leader... someone who has a clue on what to do. Because your basically working with the lowest level of the software... [snip]

We know.  How do you think the other ports happened?

[Bagder]

The firmware upgrade images aren't encrypted at least.

I found strings in them saying things like "VxWorks5.5.1" which I found very interesting! And other symbols in there seem to look like how I recall VxWorks functions look like. I've not seen VxWorks used in an mp3 player before.

As far as I can see (based on the MUON.ROM file of the 1.67 firmware) they even left assert() or similar in the code as the image is packed with strings hinting about that. It should be a great bonus if someone decides to disassemble one of these.

[Bagder]

Yes we IRC a lot. And we use the "modify" button in the forum instead of doing many posts after each other! :-)

First post! hope you all like me  

Anyway I figured out how to low level format a T9 the code is left+left, right+right, up, center, down use that and it will do a low level format on it, I really want to help with porting Rockbox to the T9
