To support fm radio a kernel module was written. This module is added to
the patched firmware that loads Rockbox. It's pre-compiled but its source
archive provided.
The kernel module provides raw-access to the built-in si4709 radio chip.
Our existing si 47xx drivers can be re-used this way.
The module itself was written Lorenzo Miori, I only integrated it
into the tree.

This port is a hybrid native/RaaA port. It runs on a embedded linux system,
but is the only application. It therefore can implement lots of stuff that
native targets also implement, while leveraging the underlying linux kernel.
The port is quite advanced. User interface, audio playback, plugins work
mostly fine. Missing is e.g. power mangement and USB (see SamsungYPR0 wiki page).
Included in utils/ypr0tools are scripts and programs required to generate
a patched firmware. The patched firmware has the rootfs modified to load
Rockbox. It includes a early/safe USB mode.
This port needs a new toolchain, one that includes glibc headers and libraries.
rockboxdev.sh can generate it, but e.g. codesourcey and distro packages may
also work.
Most of the initial effort is done by Lorenzo Miori and others (on ABI),
including reverse engineering and patching of the original firmware,
initial drivers, and more. Big thanks to you.

Merry christmas to ypr0 owners! :)
