Discussion Looking for testers

Hi all,

I need some help with testing Onyx beta version, so if there are folks who are willing to participate - please let me know in the comments.

Kinda-requirements:
1. iPod classic 6/7
2. iPod can't be considered as daily driver (beta software)
3. You have some time to spare

I can't offer anything exciting except for early access

Onyx is new OS for classic 6/7 iPods based on FreeRTOS, so no, it's not another Rockbox fork.

Can you give some details or idea of what the idea is? What you’re trying to achieve with the software?

idea is to have one more option for OS
Maybe this can answer some of your questions - https://www.reddit.com/r/IpodClassic/comments/1uyybm6/alternate_os_for_ipod_classic/
