Current status

As it stands, compiling a bootloader from rockbox SVN and running it inside an nk.bin file works and it can start a rockbox binary. The bootloader can also be run stand-alone and provides a bootloader USB mode. USB MSC support appears to work reliably enough to copy builds and bootloaders to the device once rockbox is installed. Audio playback works.

Port Specific To Do List

Write low-level code and drivers for the various chips

Device	Status
LCD driver	30%
Font rendering	100%
Backlight	100%
ATA driver	100%
Button driver	100%
SPI driver	90%*
ADC driver	90%*
USB handler	80%*
Power handling	60%
I2C driver	90%
Audio DAC driver	70%
RTC driver	100%

* Technically the driver is fully functional though it's a bit premature to call it "100%".

The DAC driver does not support the hardware EQ capabilities of the chip yet. The LCD driver works and is very similar to the Gigabeat F/X for basic graphics. We're still re-using what was set up by the Toshiba bootloader.
