• a KLM4G1EEHM-B101 moviNAND eMMC
• the STFM1000 tuner chip
• a LCD controller which seems compatible with ????

Recovery Mode

One can reach the recovery mode by powering off the unit and plug the USB cable while holding the power button. There are two other alternative methods:

• power on the player (without USB cable plugged), hold power and plug the USB cable while holding power for at least one or two seconds
• plug the USB cable, hold power and press the reset button while holding power for at least one or two seconds

Pins

Here is a list of all the pins used by the OF. Pins are of form BxPyy where x is the bank and yy the number within the bank. Direction only applies to GPIO.

B2P01	OUT	audio related (*)
B2P03	IN	Used to determine device variant
B2P04	IN	Used to determine device variant

Remarks:

• fields marked by (*) are probably leftover from other device since they don't apply to the NWZ-E360

Device variant are as follows (see section below for comment):

B2P04	B2P03	Device
0	0	NWZ-E360

Models

The same firmware may be used by several players. The model is determined from two pins and/or the MMC. The code contains left code from players such as E340, E360, E440, E440K, S540, BB. But it won't work for those devices
