To get closer to the inner workings of the processor, you'll need to have access to the serial port of it (for the advanced readers: there's no JTAG on this SoC).
Fortunately, it's quite easy to do so on the Letcool.

Linux for the Letcool (and other SPMP8000 gadgets)
There seem to be a lot of people out there wanting to have Linux support for their favourite game console, MP4 player and whatnot.
Those with a Dingoo are already happy, but up till now the great amount of Sunplus SPMP8000 based devices had to run their original firmware.
It would be a shame if Linux wouldn't conquer this nice piece of hardware, so I have decided to apply for this years GSoC with this project and give people what they want.
Don't expect it to be ready by next week however, but stay tuned and check this blog for updates.
You can also help!
I will ask for help in testing and for details about all the devices out there when the development is in that stage.
Until then, you can still do your part of the work:
Spread the word!
