Samsung T9

[t-nine]

I think this player is more than capable of supporting RockBox. I would love to help develop it, but Im a n00b, so it would help if someone experienced could help out.

Your first step should be to read this wiki page:  http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/NewPort

Thanks I took a look at that page before posting. I think Im up to the task. I know a bit of C [I used to code for the PSP-which dealt with C/C++]. Theres quite a few people who would like RockBox ported to the T9, Im one of those people.

If I can be useful, just ask for help. I'm a T9 owner too, and I'm a developer. Though I do not code in c++.

Neither does the Rockbox project (plain c and a bit of asm only).

[fgpx78]

So i misunderstood! I can be useful in C and ASM too, even if the last time i used C and ASM was ten years ago

Anyone who wants to help will be helpful

Scan the PCB's
Preferably with a flatbed scanner. Digital cameras just never are good enough. They often can't produce the same resolution and you often get problems with reflections from the flash.

I need help with that, and I'm trying to get wiki writing permissions...

Did you read the reg thing here:

Thanks. Im trying to seek help from other forum members on another site. This is a large task for one person!

Im very serious about this project, but, do you think its possible to develop Rockbox for the T9?

Sure, why not?

I thought the player required a portal player chip?

Rockbox runs on a wide variety of players that don't have portal player chips.

In fact, of current targets the portal player based ones are probably the hardest to port to as there is no real documentation for them.  The sh1 or coldfire chips by comparison are much easier (and that is part of why the ports to Archos, iriver, iaudio etc work much better than the iPod + other portalplayer ones).

[t-nine]

Okay, thats a releif. Ill have to figure out what kind of chip it has then. Alot of people want Rockbox ported to this player, but no one was willing to get the ball rolling... Thats why Im doing it. But, I dont have linux, and im not allowed to get cygwin as of now, when finished, can I ask a rockbox dev to compile it for me?
