    Glad to hear that progress is being made

    I think the SL and the SP doesn't differ by much, mostly drivers (differend sound and touchstrip drivers), so I'm positive that we can do it.

    Now, if only we can have a working DFU in Linux...

    why? we will need to do twp different frw for sp and sl but the code will be very simmilar. we have many sp users so we have many testers as well

    gevaerts from #rockbox told me he can use a USB analyzer from work to check what's going on during the firmware update so we can try to make a Linux tool.

    I want to write a little test program this week and try to run in on my player. I was thinking of flashing the backlight and/or making some sound with the piezo speaker, just so we know the code is actually running. It should hopefully work on all models M6SP,SL and M3)

    i think most of the meizu m6 players out there are of the sp model, the sl model was only recently added, and not a lot of people have it already.

    Glad to know that the rockbox team have made such a great achievement in the past weekend. It's a good idea to give the player a new life with your simple code and let her shining and buzzling just like a newbirth baby.

    Found a bug in the preliminary datasheet, the registers of USB PHY 2.0 controler should be
    0x3C400000 PHYCTRL
    0x3C400004 PHYPWR
    0x3C400008 URSTCON
    0x3C400010 UCLKCON

    Thanks! We're doing our best and I have the feeling it starts to get going now. "A-4" is also chipping in and wrote the RTC drivers this weekend to get familiar with the rockbox code.

    0x3C400000 PHYCTRL

    0x3C400010 UCLKCON
    Nice find. Where would the port be without you I'll fix it in the s5l8700.h file which A-4 wrote.

    I have 2 questions:
    Will the clock stay correct with the rockbox as firmware?
    (i'm asking becouse the clock is always off after i connected it to my pc to transfer files, the library update seems to stop the clock...)
    Will library update still be necesary with rockbox or not?

    library update is a feature used in the original fw. rockbox as far as I can remember whe I used it on my pod does have a DB inside, somewhat similar to meizu's but it scans way faster and can be accessed from your pc and features a better scanning algorithm. and btw it supports tree view too - i.e. file browsing

    keep up the great work!

    You're doing a great work!

    I would like to help, but i feel myself a bit stupid... actually i'm learning on university to be az electrical engineer, and we learn ASM / memory circuits/ etc.. actually. This is why im so intrested.

    Anyhow, keep up the great work!

    I still look for a cheap meizu, but obviously, I can't find one. I'm not afraid about flashing mine because we have DFU tool, but I use my M6 every day... Does DFU tool erase just the flash where firmware is, or the whole flash player (including music, etc)???

    I don't have any ability in assembler coding, but like I said, maybe I can help you when c code will run on meizu

    I think once we get code to run on it, all that needs to be done is write a bootloader so we can start our meizu in rockbox directly, so we do not have to wait for library update before we can start rockbox.
    in the mean time i would like to ask: how is the progress on the rockbox port coming along?

    I'm not an expert, but I think we first need to write driver for screen, touchpad and buttons, etc in order to run Rockbox. You could run rockbox on your meizu, but without drivers, you will see nothing on the screen, and you even can hear a song...

    But I can made a mistake thinking this...

    I wrote down a small todo list for myself. Something like this should probably be put in the wiki: http://130.89.160.166/rockbox/meizu-todo.txt

    LTourist if you know c than you could write drivers for lcd, buttons etc. check the to do list http://130.89.160.166/rockbox/meizu-todo.txt the drivers should mostly be writtrn in c and seldom in assembler. here are some pointers about how to write a driver SimpleGuideToCompiling < Main < TWiki
    good luck

    I'll take a look tomorrow. I think I will begin to start working this at the end of the next week, as I've a lot of exams the next two weeks... after this I promise i'll try (but I can't promise I'll success)
