I believe that documentation is really important for any project of this nature, and yours is really easy to follow and seems to be very complete. I did find one paragraph a little difficult to understand however, and offer an alternative wording for it here. I hope that my interpretation is correct: page 9: "By reprogramming the firmware we can boot much faster. Archos has a pathetic boot loader, versus the boot time for Rockbox is much faster than the disk spinup, in fact it has to wait for the disk. Your boot time will be as quick as a disk spinup (e.g. 4 seconds from powerup until resuming playback)." Change to: "By reprogramming the firmware your Jukebox will boot much faster. The Archos boot loader seems to take forever when compared to the Rockbox version. In fact, the Rockbox boot loader is so fast that it has to wait for the disk spin-up, resulting in a power-up time in the order of four seconds from pressing the ON button to resuming playback."
