Got another different Blacking based PMP…

and I’m almost ready to start messing with Blackfin family finally. This PMP (also known as BlackHawk, IPad, or “Portable Media Player”) is hardware compatible with Gemei X720 PMP if I’m right, and features:

- BF531 @ 400 MHz (ADI BF531 SBST 400)
- 16 MB SDRAM (ESMT M12L128168A-LZV1P51HQ)
- 1.3 mpixel CMOS camera (crap quality! like a webcam xD)
- 3.6″ LTPS TFT (same brightness than 301’s LCD but worse contrast maybe)
- 1 GB flash (Hynix HY27UUD88G5M 727A)
- SD support (SDHC not likely to work with the default old 6.2.80 firmware)
- 2 speakers (higher quality than 301’s speaker)
- Nice d-pad and button layout (including crap L/R buttons)
- Gizmondo alike case skin.
- Other parts include PHILIPS FD1USBD12 (USB controller), XILINX XC2C32A VQ44AMS0545, and a 28-pins sanded mini-chip :(

Price was slighty cheaper than 301’s: 89 eur including shipping and VAT.
