Default Re: Why don't we try to write our own firmware??

Hi

Thanks for your interest in the topic. I'm embedded system programmer, which means I have the skills and knowledge for programming this kind of stuff, although, however, we need to set up several things before we can start. Among other things i'm writting an open-platform real time kernel that we may use.

As i've read so far there is a Z80 mpu inside the ATJ20xx, but there is also a DSP (i programm dsp as well). The first thing we must do is to get the tools for compiling and downloading programms into the atj. Once done we'll be on the road to do anything we want. I guess there are C free compilers for the Z80, and the JTAG interface is not hard to build a home-made one. There are free tools to download the image to the mp4, so it's just a matter of getting all this stuff together to start with.

As far as i read in s1mp3.org there is not such a project =( (they want to make reverse engineering)
