Rockbox - CLOSED

vcf

here is a forum about porting rockbox to miniplayer Meizu M6 "miniplayer" markun said that we need to decrypt the original firmware (the code is in a rar archive which is in the firmware file after the first 8KB) i dont exactly understand what is it.any ideas?i asked what is it and how shall i do this but there is no answer so far.......waiting....... i dont think that unofficial frimware will help us.we just need to follow the steps that rockbox developers give on rockbox.org

Traps

of course, we need to follow the steps given by the rockbox developers... but if the unofficial firmware is real and open-source, then it may help in the task of finding how to communicate with the M6's hardware.

we need to find technique- advanced users of miniplayer.any ideas where can we find them?

we need to decrypt the original firmware (the code is in a rar archive which is in the firmware file after the first 8KB)here is about how it ciould be done MeizuM6Port < Main < TWiki in chapter M6.EBN

i think rock box for the m6 is a great idea. seeing how its open source and how anyone can contribute, i see this as a great way for letting the community squash all the bugs

roelandb

yes, but the problem is that almost no-one knows how to actually do it, if i knew how to do it i would have certainly done it already!
it will indeed remove the bugs, but also we can add features like nice games, or support other video/audio/picture formats.
I also saw that there are a lot of extremely great themes for rockbox, so i cant wait to have it on my m6.

vcf

its a good idea.i dont exactly know how to port rockbox but i have desire to do it.ofcourse i know how to port rockbox but not excatly.that is the most important thing(about the desire).if there will by anything that i doont know how to do i will tell you.its is a great thinf just to registrate at rockbox.org and tell in the forun thread that i have meizu m6 and want to help.this will make the topic hot and the rockbox developers think that the port is perspective and

roelandb

yes, it is indeed a good idea, if you know how, you can begin porting and report back your progress in this thread!

(me and a lot of other people in this forum i hope) will try to help you as good as we can.

vcf

ok .hope we will do it))))

vcf

i think it will be a great idea just to registrate at rockbox.org and tell in the forum thread that i have meizu m6 and want to help.this will make the topic hot and the rockbox developers think that the port is perspective and we will finish it faster:D.now there is only one man who is trying to make that port and this man is i)))))but developers are answering my questions very slowley so the work is very long.so we just need to make the topic hot, i think))))

roelandb

you say you are working on it, can you tell us what steps you have already taken, and wich need to be taken next?

pals

we need a locked, or well moderated thread, where the first post contains all the goals and issues, which are solved and have to be solved. or else this project will die because of a lack of organization

roelandb

i agree, organisation is one of the most important things when working on a project like this, it will greatly increase the speed of development since all the goals and issues, and all available information will be in a single place.
there are already a lot of threads on this topic, so somebody could start a new topic, and put all the information available together in there, its not usefull to leave all the seperate topics open, it would be a lot better to have all information centralized and organized.

vcf

ok i will do a new thread with all steps!
but i thing tomorrow!now i dont have time if you want you may create it yourself wiyh steps from NewPort < Main < TWiki i will edit it tomorrow
good luck

vcf

a new thread http://www.meizume.com/firmware/5567...-meizu-m6.html

nice2know_u

Should we close this thread an the other rocbox threads and just use this?

vcf

nice2know_u yes i think.but if you lock it will we be able to take information from here?(not to reply)

nice2know_u

Sure, you can read the thread but you can't post in it.

vcf
