I'm having trouble knowing where to get started with developing for the gp2x.

My interest is in multimedia and I am an experienced programmer, but I just don't seem to be finding any overview documents on the hardware, the environment the tools and so on.

I see a certain amount of detail stuff, but it all presumes a good deal of basic knowledge.

NO doubt there are some perfectly good 'architecture' and 'getting started' documents somewhere, but I have no idea where.

Can anyone provide an overview or some pointers to exsting documents.

You need the Wiki, man .. everything you need is available from the Wiki:

http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/Main_Page

And also keep an eye on everyones blogs too, some very interesting stuff happens there:

http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/Developer_Webpages_and_Blogs

DJWillis' blog, Cobbleware .. these are all good places to get a bit more detail on whats going on with the dev scene, how to get past the bootstrap stages and get right into development, etc.

And .. last but certainly not least, if you want a mailing list devoted to gp2x development, check out gpx-dev, where newbie and 'potentially stupid' questions are welcomed, so that we can build up a serious FAQ archive:

http://www.ampfea.org/mailman/listinfo/gpx-dev

The gpx-dev list isn't supposed to supplant our existing communities (there are a few cliques for the GP2X, gpx-dev isn't one of them..) but it is supposed to give newbie developers a safe place to ask stupid questions, so get on there and see if it helps too ..

Good luck, and please share the results of your efforts with us! I look forward to seeing all new GP2X developers making progress .. ;)
