hot Zvue system to hack

maybe perfect little box to hack for gaming!

http://www.zvue.com/specifications.html

Motorola Dragonball™ i.MXL 200MHz processor

=> has ARM9 core
=> http://www.freescale.com/files/shared/doc/selector_guide/SG2145.pdf

. The i.MX family specifically addresses the needs of the personal, portable product market with its intelligent integrated
peripherals, advanced processor core, and power management capabilities.
i.MXL
The i.MXL (MC9328MXL) applications processor is designed for real-time applications enabled by the ARM920T™ microprocessor core
and is equipped with a rich set of highly integrated peripherals and features. The i.MXL is ideal for products optimized for multimedia
applications in low-cost yet feature-rich devices

=> same as in Sony Clie PEG-TJ37


Backlit, active matrix TFT display

USB 1.1 self-powered device

Reads and writes SD and MMC cards formatted as FAT or FAT-32.

Plays MPEG-4/AVI videos; MP3 and OGG audio files and displays JPEG pictures





The chip

Motorola's MC9328MX1 i.MX1 is based on a ARM920T CPU core along with an extensive set of integrated peripherals. On-chip controllers are provided for SDRAM, LCD interface, video port, dual UARTs, dual SPI ports, USB device port, I2C bus, general purpose I/O, and memory card interfaces. Here's a more detailed list of key features and specs of the i.MX1, which comes in a 256-pin MAPBGA package:

* ARM920T microprocessor core
* Memory management unit (MMU)
* 128KByte embedded SRAM
* Smartcard interface
* Bluetooth accelerator
* Analog signal processor
* AHB to IP bus interfaces
* External interface module
* SDRAM controller
* Clock generation and power control
* Two serial ports
* Two SPI ports
* Two general-purpose 32-bit counters/timers
* Watchdog timer
* Real-time clock/sampling timer
* LCD controller
* Pulse-width modulation controller
* USB device port
* SD/MMC card controller
* Memory Stick card controller
* DMA controller
* SSI/I2S interface
* I2C interface
* Video port
* General-purpose I/O ports
* Bootstrap mode
* Multimedia accelerator
* Power management features

Motorola said it targets its DragonBall i.MX family of "application processors" at smartphones, wireless PDAs, and other mobile wireless applications. (Incidentally, "MX" in the processor name stands for "Media Extensions", and this processor is the first in Motorola's Dragonball i.MX family; hence the designation "i.MX1".)

The i.MX1 runs at a 200 MHz clock rate. Motorola emphasizes that "it's not about the megaherz," claiming that its 200 MHz i.MX processors can outperform much faster processors due to architectural advantages and built-in function accelerators; plus, lower clock rates are a big advantage in wireless mobile devices (longer battery life, less WLAN/WWAN signal interference, etc.).

In an i.MX technology whitepaper (pdf), Motorola claimed its i.MXL processor (similar to the i.MX1, but with a subset of the built-in functions) outperformed both Intel's Xscale PXA250 and TI s OMAP 1510 processors in a recent benchmarking study.

I also have a zvue that I'm wanting to hack... I was thinking of putting a nes emulator in there but I need to do alittle more research on it first. I'll post some pictures of it ripped down on my blog soon. If you have any advice or suggestions please let me know.
