<h2>About the hardware</h2>

<p>I wrote a <a href="internals/bjorn.html">"dissection" page</a> some months ago,
showing the inside of the Archos and listing the main components.
I have also collected a couple of <a href="docs/">data sheets</a>.
Also, don't miss the <a href="notes.html">research notes</a>
from my reverse-engineering the firmware.

<h2>About the software</h2>

<p>The player has one version of the firmware burnt into flash ROM.
The first thing this version does after boot is to look for a file called
"archos.mod" in the root directory of the harddisk. 
If it exists, it is loaded into RAM and started.
This is how firmware upgrades are loaded.
