Crappy and cheap Rockbox player made literally from junk bcs music streaming is overcomplicated

Under the hood

• Raspberry pi zero 2w
• ST7789 1.54" 240x240 display
• Debian 10 + fbcp-ili9341
• Rockbox
• Any your junk

How to build

1. Connect everything
2. Flash Debian 10 on SD card http://downloads.raspberrypi.com/raspios_oldstable_armhf/images/raspios_oldstable_armhf-2023-05-03/2023-05-03-raspios-buster-armhf.img.xz
3. Extract everything on SD card in root sudo tar -xvf idumb.tar.gz /mnt/rootfs (put your mountpoint)
4. Read info under latest release

That's all, also you can pair bluetooth headphones from ssh via bluetoothctl, but after pair you need to restart Rockbox. Also you can apply my custom Chicago theme based on WIN 9X style

• Start Plugins-Games-boomshine

In the future

1. Normal bluetooth integration into Rockbox
2. Backlight sleep timer
3. Battery charge show-up
4. More keys (such as lock and repeat)
5. PCM5102
