Well I knew that there is a way to port things created initially for any ARM based processor but as I said, ASM is very very hard for me to understand, though I am able to make a tool for patching such code in terms of changing variables, redirecting code to another piece of code and such - it's just I can't write code in pure ASM yet - easier to modify already existing code.
I don't know nothing about mympx.org getting down, but what is sure that most developers left this place, including me. It's hard to keep yourself motivated if there is so many obstacles in your way. I put so much effort to work on RKP platform while it's almost gone from all the players on the market. It's like all this time went in vain.
If there is a chance to include elf loader in any firmware then I will be glad to start creating stuff for this player. Perhaps we will be able to create an RKP emulator (someone has already started to do this for PC).
Currently development for RK27x is blocked by the fact that we cannot run external executables from files - we need the whole firmware to be applied which often ends in total corruption of the Rock OS and a need to painful restoration process.
I assume that in order to patch original firmware we need to locate basic functions inside BASE.RKW such as draw pixel, bitmap, button events, upload pcm stream and play it and so on. I think it's quite easy as we have SDK and can easily locate them by comparison of the code.
ps. is that mean that we no longer need to use ADS compiler to run some code?
