Rockbox Project (M6)

if we use rockbox we will not need resource.bin anymore i guess, but maybe there is some information in there that might be usefull also, since it does affect the players boot procedure when placed onto...(am i right?)

The SDRAM_image.bin contains some non-localizable output strings. I made a copy of the strings (see appendix).

Theoretically - maybe ;-)
Would be really cool if it would work out that way. A rockbox port with video plugins from the original Meizu fw.

Well, it depends on the kernel. When building a new linux kernel, then a lot of stuff has to be re-developed. When using the existing kernel, then we maybe just plug-in our new stuff, which is easier, I guess. Let's see what our Rockbox developer will say about this. I may compile some C code, but I'm not an assembler crack.

Rika! no we are waiting the specs. is there any one on the forum who understans asm? i dont undertand for what do you want to mix mezius and rockbox frimwares. when rockbox is installed the meizus frimware is not deleted. i saw video in mpeg2 on ipod video it was better than the video which we watch on meizus frimware.....

What you want is an understanding of ARM opcodes:

so if there anyone understanding arm codes? i am an absolout beginner in it!

vcf, here is beginner's guide in russian - [W A S M . R U] ÑÒÀÒÜÈ > Êîíñîëè è ÊÏÊ > GBA ASM - Äåíü 1: Ïîñòèãàåì àññåìáëåð

thanks but i looked at it and realized that it cant teach anybody how to operate with asm codes. do you understand them?

it looks quite a lot to learn, i hope the rockbox developer gets his m6 fast and can start working on it soon !

roelandb so do i

here are some data sheets of players hardware
Flash Memory Hynix:

Audio Codec - Philips UDA1380:

FM Radio - Sanyo LV24000:

Well, the code doesn't seem to be protected. Now we should try to compile the rockbox source to ARMB. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but you'll need to identify the RAM address, Flash address, MP3 chip address, screen address and so on. Basically, probe around.

has anyone tried to build an update from the source yet, so we can install it,
or is there still an obstacle before we can do that?

roelandb i am wondering to if there still an obstacle before we can do that?

it seems to me that i found the data sheet of the cpu
is this the data sheet? http://www.meizu.com/bbs/...-8/200681513423578669.rar

it looks like a good source of information, if it is the exact same type of processor that is used in the m6 you should be good to go!

no its not a datasheet, its just an overview

yes m6 has this processor

the samsung support answered me thatthey ont have the data sheet. but they sais were can we reach it. so i will try.

here are some more parts of players hardware with specs

here is some intersting info about the sensor

in the end there is a interesting scheme
