Hi all, I just purchased a Sandisk Sansa Express MP3 player and am looking at the possibility of my next project being to port rockbox to it. I wanted to ask a rough estimate from others that have made ports of rockbox what sort of time estimate it will take to have a very basic port going for this new platform?
Things that may affect the answer: * I am not at all familiar with rockbox and its internals yet. I just found it on the web yesterday. * I work as a C/C++ software developer so have experience in coding. I have a little bit of experience in ASM on x86 and a few small embedded platforms we used at UNI. * I did a degree in Computer engineering (Digital hardware), though have had little hands on experience with this since I left UNI 3 years ago. * From my VERY QUICK research, the Sansa Express has the following basic architecture: Sigmatel STMP36OO series (3630) SoC From what i understand this uses a ARM926EJ-S based CPU. With that sort of information, how long do others think it might take me to work on a port of rockbox if I say spend one or two hours a day on it? Thanks for the heads up, Brendon.
