but i would like for this to happen:

for music => E:\Music
videos => E:\Videos
photos => E:\Photos

Hi,

I have got a bunch of RK2706 based touchscreen player, but without anything, no drivers, no info, but the work.

Now I want to build some new application for them, so I read this thread. It's amazing what all of you find out. So I will give it a try. But I have a few starter questions.

1. Which SDK and other software I need?
I downloaded RK27SDK_NEW, these seem to be the firmware sources but no toolchain. I also got FWTools 3.0.29.02, here I also found a compiler, but I am not shure if it is for RK27xx or RK26xx or both? The Emulator from "Rockchip Emulator.rar" does not start.

2. What can I do to backup my current firmware. I managed to open the hidden partitions and can make a backup of it. As I understand the "\SYSTEM\BASE.RKW" is the main firmware file. Let's say I corrupt this file, can I somehow restore it to the player. Maybe with that RK27DM_Repair_tool_for_Rockchip_2706, which does not detect my player for now?

3. Is there a way to add applications to the player without rebuilding the whole firmware? As I understand on RK26xx you can build RKP files (Games) but on RK27xx not.

4. How can I find out some basic needed parameters of my player, like screen type and resolution, memory map, flash and so on, all I need to build a new firmware.

Maybe someone can give me a step by step instruction to get the RK27SDK firmware compiled and running on my player. I would be thankfully write a howto if I get all these things right. And of course I will share my experience and maybe the code I write.

Thank you
Thorsten

Hello, Thorsten!

Here's a small FAQ for you :

Thank you WIZARD.
I really managed to compile the snake game. But I cannot use it on my player. I read somewhere in this thread, that RK27xx player cannot use RKP files.
So the question is again, are all these nice tools from this thread only for RK26xx players?

[WIZARD]

We have our firmware for RK27xx players (with the source code)
which supports these games and apps (I think so)
The download link is somewhere in this thread
(look for the latest posts and download the new version)
Don't forget to make a backup of your native firmware!!!

P.S. I have a RK26xx-based player.

Hi!!!
Here is my video with how to download the RKP SDK and the games and apps.

YouTube - RKP Games, Apps and SDK

Its a stupid video...~~~~~ Its my first one!!!
Have a nice day!

[WIZARD]

Thank you for your video.
But it's not perfect:

1) The "mp5" moniker was invented by chinese sellers
who wants to get more money for their goods.
Maybe we can consider iPod touch as mp5 player because it has a LOT of features
(but still FAR more expensive than Chinese players)
I don't know even one REAL mp5 player which can run .rkp apps.
2) A lot of typos: for example, if you will search for "Rockship SDK",
(following the instruction from your video) you will find nothing
(the correct company's name is: Rockchip)
3) The video contains no instructions how "to make(build)" the apps,
only some notes about what tools we have for the development.

However, I can't blame you because it was your first video manual,
and the creation of good manual is not an easy task;
anyway, it was the first attempt to create a video manual about SDK
(if don't mention one funny video )
Hope you will introduce the new version of this manual with some fixes.
