Hi Jonas,

in this case I preferred to start working on a native port i.e. Linux and
VM is not involved in any case...But on R0 and R1 there is a "Linux
interface" to rockbox, pretty customized to run only on these players
following Samsung modules (not standard nor complete at all). You can have
a look at hosted/samsung folder in the new patch on gerrit.
And yes they are capable of running linux in a nice way, lots of samsung
player follow this philosopy; I'm pretty sure they used a common framework
on different players!

Glad you're interested, I think that where possible and / or difficult
doing otherwise, a RaaA-hybrid port - how I call this - is a nice way to
have the power of Rockbox.

After this little story and back to your answer, on Z5 rockbox will not be
RaaA but native :)
