kgb2008 yes it looks like that the Blues_MSC.bin is a demo firmware comes with the original Blues SDK. but it this programm is for sl only? have you tryied it?

You may try to change the string "M6.EBN" in the secdfu.ini to "Blues_MSC.bin", and try to burn it into M6. But mostly, the demo firmware is targeted to the development board only, you can't hope to run it on the final product like M6/M6SL.

The MCU of M6SL is different to the one inside M6, the build-in codec is removed, and no NOR flash inside, so the DFU code is different and the firmware is burn to NAND flash instead of NOR flash, but the boot sequence stated in the document is still useful, the priority is : USB DFU Mode > NOR Flash >serial EEPROM > MMC moviNAND > NAND Flash

In the case of M6, if the DFU server is detected by the bootrom, the SST39VF800.DFU is downloaded thru' the USB port and excuted in the SRAM, where it will accept and burn the firmware into the 8Mb NOR flash, since the firmware image is large than 1M Byte, so it have to be compressed and a header is added.

At normal boot-up, the DFU mode is skipped, and jump to the NOR boot, the header will extract the compressed firmware image to SDRAM and run there.

In fact, I don't have a M6 in hand, just give some idea, maybe wrong.

I may compile some C code, but I'm not an assembler crack.

rockbox is not based on linux, if that's what you mean. I think that combining rockbox and the meizu firmware (other than a dual boot option) is virtually impossible.

we need some pictures of meizu m6 sl's hardware. but we cant find it on the internet. maybe usres of sl will disassemble there players and give us some fotos!

This is what I was looking for, because I remembered seeing the insides of the SL somewhere. There's an english version of this somewhere... but I can't seem to find it

this link is very good. dont worry

guys! the samsung support doesnt send me the specs so we need to find them on our own. our platform is used on iriver u10 (Cilx), iriver e10, Meizu M6, Samsung YP-T9 so maybe you can email this companyes and ask them for specs? they must have them because they developed those players!

OK. Than it will be a lot work, because I don't see a video playback implementation at rockbox source code. Solving the video playback bugs of the Meizu FW is most important for many users here.
