My Coby PMP 4320 needs an Update!

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PMP

(November 15, 2009 - 08:34:22am)

Hello,

I am a PMP user and I have a couple Coby 4320s.(similar to the MemUp - Orizon) The units have several bugs and  I want to backup the bios and repair some registers. I have had no luck with the services of coby, and they are very negative to anybody with these units. As far as they are concerned; they no longer support the PMP or its line.

(I am well aware of the EOL for some things, but ***'on...its only 36months old and I love what the TiDSP can do...it was a good idea in 2005, and since 2006; i spent over a couple grand on popular PMPs with older DSPs and MPUs...in hopes that the promised fun and support showed.)

Since 2007; I have looked for update information on the early/popular Davinci DSP (TMS320DM270) and all the devices it went into. Much to my surprise; the SoC and most things made with it; have been 'snuffed' underground to an almost non-existant presence.

Now, I am forced to ask;

Is there a win98/2k software or driver to help me backup/download my bios and flash on these PMP units without using the JTAG port; but using the USB port?

Is there is a "seed" file or something i can place on the hard drive's root to help me get a dump or copy of the OS in place?

Does anybody know what Coby used as an OS on these units?

I use win98/2k/xp, and have no access to expensive test equipment or high-end ide software. A simple flash or dsp utility would be nice, but if it takes a JTAGjet w/ccs 1x/2x (cheap), lets talk...

Much Thanx in advance...
