NJB3Firmware

NB: WIP

Apparently there was a Yahoo group called Nomadhack - I'm trying to join it (seems that it was inactive for two years) to see if there is any relevant info.

NJB3 Rockbox port

Why bother?

The newer CreativeZVMPort, DellDJPort and other recent creative products use a modified version on the Creative Zen MTP firmware and a similiar TI DSP - progress made in one one port should (hopefully) be related to the other...

Is it upgradable?

  • Jukebox 3 - Yes
  • Jukebox Zen - Yes

  • Zen Xtra - Yes

From Australian release Creative Zen Touch 20 Gb, (Made in HK, 2003/2004):

  • "Touchpad" is driven by a chip labeled: Synaptics T1005 0423 CM2764.00
  • There are 4 noticeable chips on the front of the main PCB under the LCD
    • One is presumably unlabaled, I suspect it could be the IDE controller - it has the cabled connector for the hard disk just below it and it has the same piece of yellow tape over it
    • SST 39VF400A 70-4C-EK (0410148-AB)
    • Texas Instruments TMS320 - DA255GHH (4A-44A8F3W) Ti Korea PDF Documenting TMS320DA255
    • Samsung 431 K4S281632F-TC75 (S2816 WQF646PBC in smaller type)
    • LCD has a label on it that reads: FGE-CMGG160104B-01 S0-MA01267 040832-BJ

Schematics

Connect a BDM/JTAG emulator

See Nomadness.net:Finding the JTAG port on your Nomad.

The JTAG port (Zen Xtra) is located under the hard disk (under the copper sheet) as shown in this picture
