(Old news items have moved to a separate page.)
Note: Don't file bug reports on daily builds. They are work in progress.
Parts of the core team is currently away on vacation:
This is a rough indication of which features we plan/expect/hope to be included in which versions. Naturally, this is all subject to change without notice.
I wrote a "dissection" page some months ago, showing the inside of the Archos and listing the main components. I have also collected a couple of data sheets. Also, don't miss the research notes from my reverse-engineering the firmware.
The player has one version of the firmware burnt into flash ROM. The first thing this version does after boot is to look for a file called "archos.mod" in the root directory of the harddisk. If it exists, it is loaded into RAM and started. This is how firmware upgrades are loaded. #include "foot.t"
