I don't believe Sansa has provided any documentation at all. They did provide: hardware, moral support.

I find "encrypted firmware" a bit of an extra step. Whether it is just an obstacle to analyzing the existing firmware, or a measure which makes it more difficult to replace the firmware, it is obstructive to alternative firmware more than just not releasing docs.

Well it seems I am wrong about the signing being a special step, at least if Sansa who "supports" Rockbox is anything to go by. Apparently the new E200R is not running Rockbox nicely because they cannot sign the rockbox firmware.
