On June 15 2012 Iain Bullard started reverse engineering the proprietary libraries.


 * open_cdxalloc as an free reimplementation of Allwinner's libcederxalloc.a.
 * CedarXWrapper as a LD_PRELOADed wrapper to help understanding the proprietary libraries.
 * CedarXPlayerTest as a basic player to use when testing.
 * ReCedro gitorious, has similar tools as those from IanB above, but with a different angle, works really well.
