Hello Larry,

Your emails sent to [email protected] should be redirected to this email account (my main). Is there anything I can help you with?

Yeah, hey Keripo, once in a while I check the
sansalinux.org site to see if theres been any
activity, like supporting recording or USB or
the MicroSD slot or updating to kernel 2.6;
I would love to use Linux on my e250,
because I would like to write plain simple
applications for it and not have to learn the
Rockbox APIs when I am already very
familiar with the Linux/glibc APIs.  Anyway
I noticed you were doing some development,
which I think makes you the only one, although
I realize you are just looking at working on
application/userland stuff, but who knows....
and I saw you dont have a Sansa, so I was
thinking I might send you an e250 so maybe
if you have time you could play around with
trying to make it a more real Linux environment.

I have like 3 of them, but I dont use them much
because Rockbox seems weak as a target
platform, especially for multitasking, which
should pretty much come for free from a nice
Linux environment.  So I just use Rockbox as
a regular user, as a voice recorder and video
and music player.  I figure maybe if I get one
in your hands you might get inspired to make
it more functional as a Linux platform, maybe
update to the latest versions of the underlying
stuff like uclinux, or at least to fix the bugs
sansalinux has, just make sansalinux better.

Would you like me to send you an e250 with
a USB cable so you have a test target platform?

Hey Larry,

Thanks for the email. I currently am working on the software side of SansaLinux development (only myself and Sebastian at the moment) and I do not have access to any Sansa for testing apart from back-forth emails with Sebastian, who is, inconveniently, in a completely different timezone. Having a test target platform on hand would be greatly helpful and make development much easier/faster.

I'm wondering how much it would cost for the Sansa e250. I currently live near Toronto, Ontario (Canada) and will be moving to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (United States) near the end of August. I am currently on the lookout for a bigger-sized MP3 player to replace my dying 2GB iPod nano but am considering buying a non-hackable MP3 player. If you do have a 6Gb/8GB Sansa e260/270, however, please let me know.

Sincerely,

~Keripo

I just have an e250.  I was just going to send it to you
to hack on so hopefully it would lead to a more uptodate
SansaLinux to run on it so I can dump Rockbox.  I dont
know how much shipping would be but if its not more
than 10USD I wouldnt mind paying for that.  Hell, if it
mean a solid uclinux 2.6.23 and uclibc environment
with a good video player and USB, recording and SD
support, it would be worth it to me get you a refurbished
e280 with 8GB. (-:

Hey Larry,

Thank you for your kindness. If you can send it now, please mail to:

On a side note, the SansaLinux kernel was ported completely separate from the iPodLinux kernel. The iPodLinux kernel is currently at 2.4.32 with previous attempts (i.e. pre-2004) at porting the 2.6 kernel abandoned (only semi-working). Since the SansaLinux kernel was ported independently, it could be possible to port the 2.6 kernel (though I do not believe there will be much improvements performance-wise). As for recording and microSD support, if Rockbox currently supports them, there is no reason why SansaLinux can't in the future. ; )

Thank you again!

Sincerely,

~Keripo
