Rockbox Plans Open Source Firmware For iRiver Gear

Posted by timothy on from the they're-not-crying-an-iriver dept.

PlayerBlog.com writes "The crew at Rockbox, the venerable open source replacement firmware project for Archos audio players, has put together an effort to port their firmware to the popular iRiver H1xx-series of devices. In the wake of iRiver's much-maligned (and delayed) attempts to update their proprietary firmware, this is excellent news."

    The team over at linux-isos has been advocating, supporting, and reporting such projects for some time.
    It's great to see some of the bigger boys jumping on the open source firmware bandwagon, hopefully others will follow suit :)
