Rockbox Project (M6)

hi Guys

Sorry I haven't replied here for such a long time. I was busy with other stuff. It didn't look good for the Meizu port of rockbox, but since last week a rockbox developer has started work on the port again and is making good progress. Currently he only owns an M3 but he wants to buy an M6 as well.

I hope you guys haven't all given up hope and thrown away your players

Currently he's working on the drivers for radio, audio codec, backlight brightness (done) and the clock.

I'll try to keep you updated again

Alright, good to hear you haven't abandoned us yet.

Nice to hear the project is not dead. I've had an M6 TP for 3 years now and I haven't ever consider about selling or dropping it cause it's still a stable and cool player. (Maybe I'll do some experiment with programming on my Ubuntu, and try to help this project.)

There are a couple of good deals on M6's. You can get a 4 Gig SP for $35 and free shipping.

Nice, keep us updated then.
He should really consider a M6. I know the SP version is pretty rare to find, so he should defiantly grab one of these if he have the chance.

I guess I can't advertise in this forum...how about a PM?

hi markun,

thanks for the information. i was reading in the rockbox irc from time to time, but not last week
the last thing i knew (end of last year) was that denes got the m3 dispay driver working. at this point i thought a working display driver for the m6 is not very far... but i now there's a lot of other work to do, like the nand and usb.
i think the m6 would be a very good target to run rockbox on.
good luck for the developers
best

Good news! Initial audio playback on the M3!

Tomorrow I will pick up bertrik's M6SL, so I expect more good news in the future

Well that's a great news... Keep going, your're doing a great job

Good luck,

Hi ！

I come from China, I have a m3, I am from China and all users have a desire to m3, m3 that can support audio srs wow

and，
I am glad to heart m3 can support 16bit 96khz music

betrik now also has the FM radio working and the ADC (used to read the remaining battery power and on the M6SP also for the buttons).

One of the biggest challenges now will be the flash management code (the FTL). The iphone uses the same one as the meizu firmware and we could reuse code for it from Main Page - iPhone Linux, but I don't know how much work it would be. Another option is to use some other implementation, but that would mean that rockbox and the official firmware can not be installed at the same time.

pmp: rockbox doesn't support SRS WOW. We have some DSP effects like "crossfeed" which improves listening over headphones and a good parametric equalizer.
All audio is currently resampled to 44.1KHz, so even if you play something with a samplerate of 96KHz it will not sound any better. That might change some day.

l just suggest；

m6 T 1.007 have srs wow sound, m6 and m3 the same hardware,
The m6 T 1.007 in the code srs wow transplanted to m3 / m6 sp is not impossible

Srs contain more than firmware code,

does it（rockbox on m6） can work on m3？

in china also have a large number of m3 users

Although less than m6 users【m6 more than 200000】

Yes, work is being done on the M3 as well.

Rockbox is still alive but his walking is very slow only.

Do M3‘s new firmware support the games? and APE、FLAC、wav、wv
Audio format？

Some good news. Besides the M3 port getting a bit better every week, Rockbox is now also starting to run on the iPod Nano 2g (2nd gen). You might think this will take time away from the Meizu port, but it's the opposite. The M3 and the Nano 2g have very similar hardware (even the LCD panels used are the same), so a lot of code can be written for one of the ports and should work on the other as well. One important driver we need to write is the FTL (Flash translation layer), so now more people can work on that.

I'll keep you updated.

To pmp: Yes, rockbox supports games and all of those audio codecs:

PluginIndex < Main < TWiki (not all of them are games)
SoundCodecs < Main < TWiki

Cool Keep us updated

hi markun;
Do M3‘s new firmware support

Samsung‘s DNSE Audio?
