Hi:

Thanks Jonas for giving me the information below.
Can you tell me more about what chip set the system would need in order to
work with the rockbox development?

The problem with the current line of devices is that they employ a
Texas-Instruments DSP chip, which has no free compiler available. This
is obviously a major problem and a Rockbox show-stopper.
