#rockbox log for 2003-05-21

00:00:23Yeftwinamp is associated with it on my comp for some reason
00:00:46Stevie[FP]because '.mod' is the file extension of an old music file format, similar to MIDI (.mid)
00:00:56Yeftmeh
00:00:57_aLF(from amiga)
00:01:09Yeftbut why wont my archos recognize it anyway
00:01:39Stevie[FP]did you make sure it's really named archos.mod ?
00:01:46Stevie[FP]what OS do you run?
00:02:07Yeftwindows...like you said (xp)
00:02:07Stevie[FP]a 9x kernel (95/98/ME) or NT kernel (NT/2K/XP)?
00:02:11Stevie[FP]ok
00:02:16Stevie[FP]what drive letter is your archos?

00:07:34Stevie[FP]-o
00:07:39Stevie[FP]now do an unplug/eject
00:07:44Stevie[FP]and see if it works

00:16:05Stevie[FP]lol
00:16:10Stevie[FP]linus, I have a hunch
00:16:28LinusNshoot
00:16:35Stevie[FP]I have a sneaking suspicion that (due to the potential ROM-is-slow issue)
00:16:49Stevie[FP]the MAS normally copies its own firmware to RAM when it starts up
00:17:27LinusNok
00:18:06Stevie[FP]there are instructions here
00:18:17Stevie[FP]on how to extract the contents of internal RAM
00:19:14LinusNStevie[FP]: reverse engineering a custom DSP...tricky stuff
00:19:39Stevie[FP]indeed
00:19:41Stevie[FP]but
00:19:58LinusNi doubt that it's custom though
00:20:00Stevie[FP]we're not doing anything permanent, right?
00:20:16LinusNthey probably licensed an existing core
00:20:25Stevie[FP]I'm betting it's a RISC core
00:20:37Stevie[FP]anybody wanna search for processors with a 20-bit instruction size?
00:24:30Stevie[FP]http://www.qrpff.net/~stevie/rockbox/mp3-sch.pdf
00:26:26LinusNcare to send me the eagle files?
00:26:35Stevie[FP]eagle files?
00:26:44Stevie[FP]I just found that schematic on the web
00:26:59LinusNoh, i though you made it yourself
00:27:01Stevie[FP]and I regret to say that I dunno wtf an eagle file is
00:27:18LinusNEagle is an elcetronics cad program
00:27:24Stevie[FP]ah
00:27:37Stevie[FP]hm
00:28:30Stevie[FP]I wonder if we could use some sort of stockholder reports to find out where Micronas spends their money :D

00:28:56LinusNi searched the web a little

01:01:05Stevie[FP]do we have any idea about what clock the MAS runs at?
01:01:47LinusNaround 14MHz i think
01:02:23Stevie[FP]okay
01:04:09_aLFLinusN> I see somewhere that speed vary (25Mhz for decoding, 50Mhz for encoding)
01:04:22Stevie[FP]ah, the 3857 or whatever has a 18.432mhz clock
01:04:24Stevie[FP]rather high speed
01:04:37Stevie[FP]54ns per tick
01:05:25Stevie[FP]what do you think the odds are that they found a (relatively cheap) ROM chip that can deal with a 50ns access time?
01:06:41LinusNwell, if it's an ASIC, i think they wouldn't have a problem with that

01:20:12Yeftand?
01:20:14Yeftbut?
01:20:17tracktheripperwhat about making the screen touchscreen like on a PDA for easier using of the built-in keyboard?
01:20:25Stevie[FP]and that's why they won't update their firmware −− they know they can't program, and they'll just fsck it up more

02:17:59devZer0after that, save your cygwin relevant registry settings
02:18:00midknight2k3Archos ROCKBOX firmware that is
02:19:46devZer0linus - you inflict som pain? how that?

02:22:24devZer0what is the problem with sticking the charger in your mouth? no danger at all... :D
02:23:16midknight2k3While it's PLUGGED in
02:23:44devZer0yes - where is the problem?
02:23:54LinusNanyone here got the "rec fls: -114" error?
02:23:58midknight2k3electricity
02:24:02midknight2k3I think I used to
02:24:07midknight2k3after that defrag
02:24:17devZer0your tongoue will prickle a little bit
02:24:22midknight2k3lo
02:24:27midknight2k3a little bit yes
02:24:48devZer0linus: no - me not.
02:26:53midknight2k3Linus, do you think it's possible to make custom firmware for the rioriot which uses an EXE file to install the upgrade on the player?
02:27:07midknight2k3That seems pretty impossible, to make up the firwmare and an EXE to install it
02:27:14midknight2k3you can't even see the files on the drive
02:28:10devZer0maybe the exe patches the firmware to flash-memory?
02:28:46midknight2k3yeas
02:28:49midknight2k3that's what it does
02:29:17midknight2k3but it seems hard, knowing you can't see the drive (totally hidden) and you cant take stuff off of it
02:30:08LinusNit is certainly possible
02:30:16LinusNit just takes some work
02:30:27midknight2k3I don't know how you'd look at it though
02:30:38midknight2k3The code is basically built into the installation exe
02:30:39LinusNi'd open it
02:30:49midknight2k3open... the exe file?
02:30:49LinusNand examine the flash contents
02:31:00LinusNthe rioriot
02:31:12midknight2k3how can you see the contents of a chip?
02:31:15midknight2k3Offhand?
02:31:40LinusNby connecting a logic analyser, for example
02:32:01LinusNi guess examining the EXE file would be easier though
02:32:08midknight2k3I have no equipment of the sort
02:32:09midknight2k3lol
02:32:16devZer0if it is an ordinary flash-rom, you could use a hardware, to read the "contents"
02:32:18LinusNme neither, but i can borrow
02:32:53midknight2k3I know there's people out there that can do this... the rioriot is the cheapest 20GB mp3 player
02:33:00midknight2k3I don't get why they don't
02:33:36devZer0is it ? i thought archos is
02:33:52midknight2k3perhaps bye a fine hair
02:34:07midknight2k3the rioriot has a nice 2.25" screen (i think thats the size)
02:34:17midknight2k3And a very good navigation system
02:34:37midknight2k3As opposed to.... 24 character cells that can't be modified more than 4 at a time
02:34:46midknight2k3Hm.
02:35:13Yeftany help...my archos wont boot!
02:35:31midknight2k3I don't want to sound dumb CALLING them and asking about when the new firmwareis gonna be out

02:50:19midknight2k3Huhm
02:57:04LinusNmidknight2k3: was it a defrag that triggered the -114 bug?
02:57:35midknight2k3yup
02:57:40DBUGEnqueued KICK Yeft
02:57:40Yeftit makes noise like it wants to load, and it holds at the "Jukebox 6GB Ver : 5.02" screen
02:58:02LinusNit's funny, i defragged my fm several times to trigger the bug, to no avail
02:58:10midknight2k3are you working out that bug?
02:58:19midknight2k3Well it was like two months ago
02:58:20LinusNmidknight2k3: trying to figure out what it could be
02:58:25midknight2k3it was an older version
02:58:33midknight2k3before 2.0
02:58:33midknight2k3way before
02:58:42LinusNpractically nothing has changed since then
02:58:54midknight2k3welp I haven't an idea then
02:59:02midknight2k3i only got about 12% through it though
02:59:09midknight2k3perhaps that's it
02:59:11midknight2k3I stopped it
02:59:13LinusNthrough the defrag?
02:59:20midknight2k3yteah
02:59:23LinusNaha!
02:59:41midknight2k3it moved stuff but left some stuff in odd places?
03:00
03:00:02LinusNi bet the fsinfo structure was corrupt...
03:00:35LinusNfsinfo is an info block that tells how much space is left etc
03:01:00LinusNwindows doesn't always update it correctly

03:38:17adi|homei realized the offset part wasn't working...
03:38:26LinusNi looked at your code for the loadable levels and i feel it's a bit complicated
03:38:34adi|homei was more worried aobut the segfault bit...
03:38:38adi|homek...
03:39:39LinusNfirst of all, is it a problem to have a numlevels=xxx first in the file?
03:40:05LinusNor is the levels.txt unmodified from the original?
03:40:05adi|homeit is if we want/expect the user to add/edit levels
03:40:16adi|homeits rather modified
03:40:28adi|homebut not drastically
03:40:44LinusNis it hard to use them unmodified?
03:40:51adi|homethe impression i took from zagor was that the # of levels shouldn't be fixed.
03:41:04adi|homewell... unmodified they are in the .h file
03:41:22LinusNhe meant fixed, as in hard-coded
03:41:40adi|homeright...
03:41:52adi|homebut how do i know when i've reached the last level unless i count them?
03:42:07adi|homejust make the assumption that the user with never edit the levels?

03:55:15midknight2k3wait
03:55:21midknight2k3you're modifying sokoban?
03:55:28LinusNyes

03:56:40Stevie-Onh
03:56:42Stevie-Omh
03:56:52Stevie-Owell it seems that we don't generate a TOC
03:56:52Iogbotwhat is a xing header?
03:57:07midknight2k3dont interrupt
03:57:07Stevie-Obut, I'm trying to find where the vbr info is calculated
03:57:11midknight2k3they're doing important work
03:57:16LinusNIogbot: an information block in the mp3 file to aid playback of VBR files
03:57:34adi|homeLinusN: well.. thats not the way its _supposed_ to work :)
03:57:36adi|homeideally...
03:57:38LinusNStevie-O: create_xing_header()
03:57:40adi|homewe do a level count at start
03:57:50adi|homethen find our level (and store its offset)
03:58:03adi|homeif we increase levels, we start the load at the last offset
03:58:17 Nick Iogbot is now known as Yeft (Yeft@ACAC0440.ipt.aol.com)
03:58:29LinusNadi|home: but why do we need to know the number of levels from the start?
03:58:35adi|homeif we decrease we start from the start (or i could start at the offset - X)
03:58:43Stevie-Onumber of levels?
03:58:46*Stevie-O rubs his head
03:58:48adi|homeso that we know when you have 'won' the game
03:58:51midknight2k3lol
03:58:52LinusNStevie-O: sokoban
03:59:01*midknight2k3 days, "Stevie do it again"
03:59:12Stevie-Ooh
03:59:13adi|homeeither that... or i could just keep reading till we run out of levels
03:59:17*Yeft punches midknight
03:59:19LinusNadi|home: if you get EOF when trying to load the next level...
03:59:19midknight2k3I liked the old way where it said YOU WON and the screen flashed
03:59:25adi|homenods
03:59:26midknight2k3now it just... leaves the game
03:59:48adi|homethe only caveat with that is that if we are loading the first level, and we get EOF we have a prob (and i tell the user and exit ) :)
04:00
04:00:04adi|homewould that make the complexity less?
04:00:15Stevie-Oif we load the first level and we get EOF
04:00:19Stevie-Othe user has some issues
04:00:26LinusNbtw, all you do is concatenate the rows, when loading the level?
04:00:38adi|homebasically, yup
04:01:21LinusNadi|home: this offset caching, how much do you gain?
04:01:38adi|homewell.. you don't have to reparse the entire file everytime
04:01:49LinusNbut how long does that take?
04:01:54adi|homeits the size of an int versus reparsing the entire file everytime
04:02:20LinusNi don't care about the int, i care about the code
04:02:31adi|homeshould't be much.. i just figured it was more convenient...
04:02:48Stevie-Omeh
04:02:48midknight2k3any more games in the works, ppl?
04:03:03LinusNmidknight2k3: we have a few
04:03:10adi|homemidknight2k3: we need sokoban level loading working first ;)
04:03:22midknight2k3cool
04:03:25midknight2k3i hope this comes out
04:03:29midknight2k3i love the current ones
04:03:42midknight2k3Sokoban is my least favorite but it's still okay
04:04:59Stevie-Omeh! I lost the xing url
04:05:06Stevie-Ostupid scrollbacks
04:05:13LinusNcheck the log
04:05:55LinusNStevie-O: what about it, anyway?
04:06:02midknight2k3make an easter egg in rockbox it would be cool
04:06:25LinusNopen source easter eggs aren't that funny imho
04:06:45Yeftlol
04:06:46midknight2k3lol
04:06:52midknight2k3not funny, hidden
04:07:18midknight2k3I have an idea, make rockbox closed-source
04:07:19LinusNhiding an easter egg in the open source is hard
04:07:22LinusNhaha
04:07:37midknight2k3well
04:07:44midknight2k3i won't look at the source! lol
04:07:49Stevie-O...
04:08:04Stevie-OLinusN: http://www.ioccc.org/
04:08:05midknight2k3how about a hidden rockbox concept logo?
04:08:48midknight2k3me miss easter egg
04:08:53Stevie-O(and *then* tell me that casting to/from char* is abuse :D)
04:09:21LinusNStevie-O: tried programming ini Shakespeare?
04:09:27LinusNin
04:09:45midknight2k3I think he knows what you mean
04:10:36Stevie-O#define SHAKESPEARE (bb||!bb)
04:11:28Stevie-Oso wait, does this xing header actually store the average bitrate, or what?

04:11:54Stevie-Oyeft, don't make me hurt you

04:12:08Yeftlol
04:12:10Stevie-Oso
04:12:28Stevie-Oassuming that it doesn't switch between layers I/II/III
04:12:47Stevie-Oand samplerates (the latter of which is a pretty good indicator)
04:12:53LinusNnow why would it?
04:13:03Stevie-Obecause it's closed-source :P
04:13:05*midknight2k3 says "Hurt me! þ®ög®åm îñ tHî§ |måö"
04:13:32LinusNStevie-O: http://bjorn.haxx.se/shakespeare/fibonacci.txt
04:13:43midknight2k3Fibonachi!
04:13:47LinusNStevie-O: LAME is not closed source
04:13:49Stevie-O1 1 2 3 5
04:13:58Stevie-Oi thought the encoder was the MAS chip
04:14:18LinusNin the recording case, yes
04:14:39Stevie-Owell that's what I was referring to
04:14:45Stevie-Oour generation of the vbr header
04:14:54Stevie-Owhen recording is finished
04:14:55LinusNi'm pretty sure that no encoder on earth switches sampling rate or layer
04:15:06Stevie-Ook
04:15:15Stevie-Oour counter appears to stop at 1048575 frames?
04:15:20Yefti dont get that
04:15:24Yefti dont get much though
04:15:30Yeft(wooooooosh) over my head
04:15:53LinusNStevie-O: yes
04:15:53Stevie-O1048575 frames * 1152 samples per frame == 1207958400
04:15:57Stevie-Osamples
04:16:04Yeftall i know, is that wasnt in romeo and juliet, and in romeo and juliet they meet and BOTH die...sooooooo its not real
04:16:28Yeftlol
04:16:29Stevie-O1207958400 samples / 44100 samples/s = 2739.134694 seconds
04:16:38Stevie-O45mins 39secs
04:17:06Stevie-Oso we can record for about 45 minutes before we no longer generate a particularly effective vbr header (since num_frames is 0)
04:17:25LinusNabout 26ms per frame
04:17:52Stevie-Ohow often do we have to pull data from the encoder?
04:18:08midknight2k3My guess is 1 second
04:19:19Stevie-O...
04:20:08midknight2k3well it's worthless
04:20:12Stevie-Oi know
04:20:20midknight2k3i better stop blurting in like a clumsy janitor
04:20:22Stevie-Owhich is why I don't understand you offering it
04:20:24midknight2k3continue and sorry

04:25:56Stevie-Oit says something about audio data time-outs
04:26:13LinusNStevie-O: the counter stops at 7ffff, btw
04:26:16Stevie-Othat's 510, yeft
04:26:33Yefto thanks, i always get that part messed up
04:26:39Stevie-Owait, it stops at 524287?
04:26:46Stevie-O5105820974944
04:27:23Yeftlol i think the billionth digit is 0
04:27:37Stevie-O...
04:27:43Yeftbillionth or trillionth or something
04:27:50Stevie-Ogood, cuz if we put a 1 there
04:28:02Stevie-Owe'd be off by 10^-(10^6)
04:28:10Yeftseriously
04:28:11Stevie-Owhich would be perilous for our circle calculations
04:28:47Yeftbut you know what estimation i hat
04:28:48Yefthate
04:28:53Yeft22/7
04:28:53Stevie-O4?
04:28:57Stevie-O157/50
04:29:26LinusNStevie-O: that is about 3 hours and 47 minutes
04:29:47Stevie-Owhat, 524287 frames?
04:29:55LinusN26ms per frame
04:30:37Stevie-O3hrs 47mins 11secs
04:30:38Stevie-Ohm
04:30:46Stevie-Oi wonder how i got the other number
04:30:51LinusNme too
04:31:12LinusNanyway, we use the frame counter if it is less that 7ffff
04:31:27Stevie-Oyeah
04:31:32LinusNotherwise we don't include the frame count in the xing header when we generate it
04:32:02Yeftlol i cant stop my archos!
04:33:07LinusNi gotta go to sleep now
04:33:22Stevie-Onite linus
04:33:26LinusNStevie-O: any more questions about xing header generation?

08:36:13Bagderhere too
08:36:22tracktherippercool
08:36:44tracktheripper:D
08:36:48tracktheripperany latest news?
08:37:07Bagdernot really, no
08:37:13tracktheripperlol
08:37:31tracktheripperi said to linus yesterday i think every feasible request has been implemented
08:37:37tracktherippercan't think what else can be added
08:38:04Bagderonce we get the plugin system there, we can add lots of more stuff
08:38:22tracktheripperwhat do you have in mind?
08:38:28Bagderpda-stuff for example
08:38:28tracktheripperas in extra features?
08:38:36Bagdercalender etc
08:38:37tracktherippercool :-)
08:38:51tracktheripperbut i feel there is only so much u can do with a 1bit mono LCD
08:38:57Bagdertrue
08:39:19tracktheripperwill the Player have a plugin thingy as well?
08:39:30tracktheripper((feels player owners are being left out in the cold))
08:39:35Bagderit'll probably work the same on all models
08:39:48tracktheripperyea
08:40:10tracktheripperwhat the hell Archos were thinking with 22 character cells?!
08:40:34Bagderwell, the player is a cheap box
08:41:03tracktheripperare character-cell LCDs really a lot cheaper to make than bitmap LCDs?!
08:41:09Bagderyes
08:41:15tracktheripper:-|

10:29:15Bagderyeps
10:29:21erahurtsHeya.
10:29:35Bagderhi
10:30:08erahurtsThanks for all your work omn Rockbox. Definitely makes the archos worthwhile.
10:30:34*Bagder bows
10:30:40Bagderwe're a large crowd of hackers now
10:31:00erahurtsSo I noticed in the credits.
10:31:40dwihnoBagder: 1337 h4x0rs? :)
10:31:49Bagderhaxx.se rs ;-)
10:31:56erahurts:)
10:32:05Bagdertry to pronounce that! ;-)
10:32:38erahurtsWorks in English. Not Swedish?
10:32:55dwihnoBagder: hah, you're so wasted :)
10:33:44erahurtsSo, if I changed the hdd in my fm recorder, no soldering is required?
10:33:50Bagdernope
10:33:58Bagderbut you void the warranty
10:34:06erahurtsYeah.
10:34:56webmindchanging hd's works fine :))
10:34:59erahurtsColleague of mine just got an Ipod. Very nice interface. I'd get one, if I could hack it.
10:35:18webminderahurts, has a harder to get hd though.. and hell of job to open it
10:35:51erahurtswebmind: hard to get one?
10:35:57Bagderand there are only 30GB ones afaik
10:36:14webminderahurts, ipod uses pcmcia disks.. not 2.5" laptop disks
10:36:22erahurtsOh!
10:36:31Bagder1.8" disks aren't they?
10:36:49erahurtsOh, Ipod. Don't care. What about the archos. I can get a 2.5 60GB, right?
10:36:56Bagdereven 80
10:37:05webmindBagder, dunno.. but the ipod itself is smaller then a 2.5" disk
10:37:07 Nick erahurts is now known as earHurts (jirc@pool-138-88-165-65.res.east.verizon.net)
10:37:16webminduhuh
10:37:24earHurtsYeah, I noticed the Ipod is small. And light.
10:37:25webmindBagder, do they 80'ers now? cool :)
10:37:36Bagderyeps, but still very expensive
10:37:40webmindearHurts, and has pretty nice interface.. but not quite hackable
10:37:49webmindBagder, awell.. my 40gb is fine :)
10:37:53earHurtsDoes the Fujitsu with the quiet option come in 80GB?
10:37:54Bagder:-)
10:39:33earHurtsI like being able to add my own patches to Rockbox. Need to finish a few, and I think Badger wanted me to resubmit one
10:40:16webmindcool
10:40:29BagderI did? ;-)
10:40:56earHurtsYeah, the id3 patch. (submitted by TPDiffenbach)
10:41:05Bagderaha
10:41:32earHurtsI was surprised when the patch was the entire file. ;)
10:41:44Bagderyeah, not very friendly
10:42:14earHurtsI just followed the patch tracker instructions. ;)
10:42:37earHurtsFigured there had to be a reason; forgot about my uing DOS line endings.
10:42:45Bagderhehe
10:43:22Bagderdiff -b
10:43:58webmindbtw.. the prints doesnt seem to like the lack of casing..
10:44:29Bagderthe prints?
10:44:44webmindyeah
10:44:54webmindthe part where the batteries are connected
10:45:02earHurtsYeah, lemme try to remeber what files that involved. I've got about tree other files in transition −− unmerged.
10:45:05webmindif u have no casing they tend to bent quite a lot
10:46:56earHurtsWhat's the best way to manage mutiple changes? I'd like to fetch files from sourceforge's CVS, but be able to save tre files to my own cvs server? any easy way to do this?
10:47:22BagderearHurts: your changes will be merged with the ones you get from cvs
10:47:36Bagderjust 'cvs update' and it'll be made automaticly
10:47:46Bagderin case of conflicts, you'll be told
10:48:02earHurtsBut I can't update to sourceforge.
10:48:27Bagderyou mean you want to store your changes on a different cvs server?
10:48:34earHurtsYeah.
10:48:40earHurtsThen I could version my changes.
10:48:53Bagderok, I see
10:49:11BagderI can't think of any easy way of doing that comfortably
10:50:03earHurtsYeah. Could be useful for open source type projects in general.
10:50:31Bagdertrue
10:50:46earHurtsAnybody using MP3BookHelper?
10:50:58webmindnop
10:51:49earHurtsVery nice Id3 editor. And the uthor is reat about adding features.
10:52:14webmindah k
10:52:33earHurtsauthor/great
10:52:50webmindah ok :)
10:53:03*webmind thinks of making a perl script for his id3 tags
10:53:26*Bagder did ;-)
10:53:37earHurtsthe ~200KB limit: is that because of a limit in the onboard memory space for code.
10:53:59earHurtsMp3bh does regexps.
10:53:59BagderearHurts: well, its hard to tell, but the loader refuses to load larger images
10:54:19Bagderwe can rolo larger ones
10:54:40earHurtsAccording to the docs for the chip, iirc, at least some versions have considerably more onbaord memory?
10:54:52Schnueffif one would have unscrambled firmware, would they load significantly faster?
10:54:58earHurtsHow large an image can you rolo??
10:55:10BagderSchnueff: no, the unscrambling is very fast
10:55:14Schnueffk
10:56:44earHurtsx
10:57:42BagderearHurts: I don't know, but basicly there's no limit except the 2mb ram
10:58:25Bagder"basicly" because of course the code that copies the data needs to fit too etc
10:58:50earHurtsBut those 2 megs is all the ram there is? There's none hidden on the chip?
10:59:11Bagderthere's 4K internal ram
10:59:37Bagderbut that's all, yes
11:00
11:01:22earHurtsHmm. 5000 * 128 = 10000 * 64 = 640000 = .7 mb
11:02:04earHurtsHow easily can the mpeg memory buffer be dynamically resized?
11:02:22Bagdernot easy at all
11:02:38Bagderit really needs to be one huge chunk
11:02:48Bagderor we'll get things very complicated
11:03:16earHurtsThere's not a pointer to the start and a pointer to the end, like a C streambuf?
11:03:34Bagderthere is
11:03:53Bagderbut the area is contiguos, from the start all the way to the end
11:04:10Bagderwhich makes it hard to allocate dynamicly
11:04:36earHurtsYeah, but could one bump the pointer to start by x bytes, to (temporarirly) shrink the buffer, and grab some ,e,ory?
11:05:02Bagderif you stop the music and flush the area, then yes
11:05:07webmindwow.. max files in dir has become an option? cool :)
11:05:39earHurtsWhat if I, uh, wait umntil the music being read is past the point I want to bump to?
11:06:00webminduhm
11:06:17webmindproblem.. i got write failed when i want to write my config ?
11:06:44BagderearHurts: the buffer is used in a circular fashion
11:07:16webmindanyone knowhow i can fix this ?
11:07:22earHurtsSo i aassumed. If I bump the start pointer, won't the new start be used when it wraps? I know this will mean more frequent disk reads.
11:07:39earHurtswebmind: you got space on the drive?
11:07:49webmindearHurts, 36gb of them
11:08:03BagderearHurts: the point is that it might already have "wrapped"
11:08:33Bagderimaging playing at position Y, and we have data filled to position X: |−−−−−−X−−−−−−-Y−−−−−−-|
11:08:55earHurtsYeah, I can't advance the start pointer until I know the memory has been read into the decoder. sure.
11:09:21Bagderbut of course, given some careful considerations it can be done
11:09:26earHurtsAnd I need to tell the disk to re-read.
11:09:31Bagderyes
11:09:33earHurtsOr do a memcpy.
11:09:41Bagderand we have a function for re-reading
11:10:25earHurtsAnd it uses the start and end pointers, so it'll do the right thing?
11:10:56Bagderthe start and end pointers are set "dynamicly" at startup so everything must use them
11:11:37Bagderthat's how the 400-limit no longer is fixed
11:12:23earHurtsWhat I want is a enough memory to do what the Ipod does: allow songs to be found by Artist/album/Genre/Composer/Title
11:13:03Bagder"to be found" you mean by a search or when browsing?
11:13:30earHurtsI meana simple database. A bunch of red-black trees.
11:14:38Bagderseveral people have requested and worked on a feature like that
11:14:54earHurtsWhat's been the general direction?
11:14:56Bagderso it would be appreciated, I think
11:15:13Bagderthey've mainly worked on getting a search feature
11:15:19Bagderto allow searching for a given song
11:15:50earHurtsI think a display of all song titles alphabetical is preferrable to a search per se.
11:16:08BagderI think I agree
11:16:33earHurtsAgain, if we have 5000 songs, and a title size of say 128, that's at least .7 mb
11:17:06Bagderso you should optimize on as little as possible needed in memory
11:17:09earHurtsAssume the average title is only 50 chars, it's stilll .3 mb
11:17:13Bagderyou can't design it to have it all in mem
11:17:23Bagderthere are 80GB disks
11:17:31Bagderit easily makes 14000 songs
11:17:42earHurtsYeah. But disk access is slow, and coslty in battery.
11:18:43Bagderwell, in that case I'd recommend you shut off the music completely and use the full mp3 buffer for your purpose
11:19:19earHurtsYeah, but that's annoying isn't it?
11:19:35Bagderprobably, if you wanna use it to browse around for files to listen to...
11:21:27earHurtsoh for satan, my ear hurts.
11:21:42earHurtsDo they say "oh for satan" in sweden?
11:22:12Bagderyes! but with "för"
11:22:25earHurtsNo kidding?
11:22:47Bagderits the truth
11:23:04earHurtsI had this Danish girlfriend who said it all the time.
11:23:13Bagderheh
11:23:20Bagderdanish and swedish are similar
11:23:23earHurtsI found it very, uh, odd.

14:26:33dwihnoLinusN: And the risk involved?
14:27:00LinusNwell, you need to make sure that you can restore the original contents of course
14:27:21dwihnoah
14:27:30dwihnoSo how would you commence the flashing?
14:27:39dwihnoVia the serial mod, or just a special ajz?
14:34:14LinusNwe are examining the boot ROM (inside the CPU) to see if it has a flashing utility
14:34:38LinusNor if it at least has a code download feature
14:34:45dwihnoNeato. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Would be excellent to run RomBox :)
14:34:51LinusNso we can download a flash programmer

14:47:00nelliepor anyone else come to that. It's about the sleep timer
14:52:41dwihnoshoot
14:53:36nelliepThanks...it's just I was wondering why the sleep timer just freezes the song and not switch off the unit
14:56:24nelliepOK...look I've really got to go so if you answer then I'll look it up in the IRC Log

15:19:41Stevie[FP]meh
15:23:49LinusNStevie[FP]: yes
15:23:58Stevie[FP]ok
15:24:07Stevie[FP]I wonder if we shouldn't do some sort of running average
15:24:26Stevie[FP]to be slightly more accurate...
15:24:46LinusNnelliep: it stops the song if the device is connected to a charger, because then we can't turn it off. it's a hardware limitation
15:25:08LinusNStevie[FP]: des it differ much for you?
15:25:16Stevie[FP]dunno
15:25:30Stevie[FP]but I wonder
15:25:43Stevie[FP]has anyone checked the spinup time after the end of a 'red led dead' scenario?
15:28:43Stevie[FP]hmm, we don't have anything akin to a WPS for the recording screen, do we?
15:29:40Stevie[FP]mh
15:31:01LinusNStevie[FP]: no WRS, no
15:37:13Stevie[FP]hmmkay
15:39:45Stevie[FP]any guesses as to the average amount of time it takes to read/write MAS memory?
15:40:11LinusNlong time since i worked on that
15:40:19LinusNi'd guess 1-2ms
15:40:22Stevie[FP]okay
15:40:25Stevie[FP]that's not too shabby

15:42:11Stevie[FP]... no.
15:43:59Stevie[FP]hm, we don't seem to enter USB mode at the Recording screen
15:44:29Stevie[FP]thank god for UnxUtils

15:55:12Stevie[FP]hm, I wonder what these unused commands do in the MAS
15:55:50LinusNStevie[FP]: no, we don't enter USB mode in the rec screen, partly for safety reasons
15:56:48LinusNStevie[FP]: "unused commands"?
16:00
16:05:43Stevie[FP]well
16:08:20Stevie[FP]i'm still having trouble understanding how this device is accessed (the datasheet is not very clear)
16:08:32Stevie[FP]but even if I ignore the fact that we only use one nybble for the command
16:09:01Stevie[FP]the 'command code'
16:09:10Stevie[FP]the 3785f supposedly has 4 run commands (0-3)
16:09:23Stevie[FP]and it skips commands 4, 8, and 9

16:14:01Stevie[FP]ok so the MAS is at i2c address 0x3C
16:14:11Stevie[FP]we read from 0x3C and write to 0x3D
16:16:09Stevie[FP]this is way more complex than the EEPROM on our boards
16:20:30Stevie[FP]err, swap read&write there
16:25:26LinusNStevie[FP]: it is device address 0x3c. the LSB is the R/W bit
16:25:36 Nick quel|lunch is now known as quelsaruk (swordmaste@faerun.ugr.es)
16:28:26LinusNthere are four 'run' commands because the highest 2 address bits are in the command nibble
16:29:55Stevie[FP]hm
16:32:01Stevie[FP]man, I hate how these guys decided to describe this stuff
16:34:23Stevie[FP]ok, address >> 8
16:34:50Stevie[FP]so that gives us 0x0000 thru 0x3FFF

16:48:03Stevie[FP]is there any major reason why the recording screen uses FONT_SYSFIXED?

18:39:30hardeepanyone up for alpha-testing a new feature?
18:42:29tracktheripperYES me!!!!
18:42:29tracktheripper:-)
18:42:34tracktheripperill test it :-)
18:42:54hardeepdon't even care what it is? =)
18:43:00hardeepwhat device do you have?
18:43:09tracktherippera Recorder 10
18:43:43hardeephttp://hardeeps.freeshell.org/dynamic.ajz
18:44:07elinenbehardeep: what is the new feature?
18:44:35hardeepit's the dynamic playlist stuff
18:44:46hardeepinsert/queue/append tracks
18:44:54hardeepalso, save dynamic playlists
18:45:01elinenbehardeep: you rock!
18:45:02elinenbe:)
18:45:20elinenbeso now you can queue up a song to play next or at the end of the queue?
18:45:39hardeepat end of playlist
18:46:00tracktheripperhang onn
18:46:02hardeepalthough adding code to put it at end of queue is also pretty easy... i'll put that on my todo
18:46:12hardeepbtw, diff is at: http://hardeeps.freeshell.org/patches/dynamic_playlist_6.diff
18:46:40elinenbehardeep: I will go over it with a fine toothed comb and tell you what is missing :)
18:47:22hardeepthe big thing missing right now is inserting playlists

18:50:06tracktheripperhardeep what about queing songs BEFORE playback?
18:50:37hardeeptracktheripper: do you mean before we begin playing a playlist?
18:51:06tracktheripperi mean just queue up a set of songs BEFORE playback rather than DURING playback
18:51:36elinenbehardeep: it does not work on directories −− I am unable to queue up a directory
18:52:07hardeepelinenbe: yeah, directories/playlists are not in yet... that's the next thing i'm going to work
18:52:08hardeepon
18:52:30hardeeptracktheripper: that would also be possible, it's not in there yet though
18:52:44tracktheripperThe Creative Labs Nomad enables you to do that
18:54:03_aLFhardeep> you made a patch about playlist ?
18:56:00hardeep_aLF: yeah, dynamic playlists...
18:56:11elinenbewhat are the differences between queue/queue append/insert/append ?
18:56:12hardeep(still a work in progress
18:56:55_aLFhardeep> is there a ajz for FM recorder ?
18:57:03hardeepelinenbe: queued songs are deleted after they are played and they aren't included in the playlist when you request a save
18:57:22hardeepqueue/insert add the track after the current playing song
18:57:30hardeepqueue append/append add it at end of playlist
18:57:48elinenbeah −− now it makes more sense.
18:58:15hardeepbtw, the save dynamic playlist option is on the main menu Playlist options->save dynamic playlist
18:58:30hardeepyou need to specify a valid absolute path right now
18:58:47tracktheripperhardeep can u save playlist in directory of ur choice?
18:59:53hardeeptracktheripper: so long as you specify the correct full path
19:00
19:00:02elinenbeall I think is missing now is a playlist editor (for doing static playlists, and deleting songs) and the ability to queu up directories or playlists.
19:01:19hardeepelinenbe: agreed, those are the two features I want too =)
19:01:41tracktheripperwhat about an option to reshuffle the playlist when it repeats in repeat mode?
19:02:04hardeeptracktheripper: that's unrelated to this and there's already an open feature request for that
19:02:16tracktheripperbut its still a playlist option
19:07:45elinenbehardeep: I like the progress.
19:08:10elinenbehardeep: when you save a playlist, it will only save the songs that have been inserted/appended?
19:08:33hardeepelinenbe: no, all the songs in the current dynamic playlist
19:09:22hardeepplease let me know if you find any bugs, i went a little overboard on the playlist changes and there are bound to be issues I missed

19:20:09 Nick quelsaruk is now known as quel|out (swordmaste@faerun.ugr.es)
19:24:56quel|outbtw, is it possible to 'continue on target directory after queue'?
19:26:01quel|outi mean, you queue a file, and when you finish playing your current file, it starts that file (like normal queue), BUT, when that song ends, rockbox continues with next song on *that* directory.
19:26:25quel|outmore or less like archos queue :)
19:26:52elinenbehardeep: so, if you queue up a few songs and then instert a few songs, and then let a few play through and then save it, what happens?
19:27:11elinenbealso, what happens with shuffle and repeat?
19:31:18 Quit kassoolet (Remote closed the connection)
19:32:02hardeepelinenbe: save will save everything except the queued songs... no matter what's played
19:32:40hardeepif you unshuffle, all queued/inserted songs will be put at end of list
19:32:53hardeepa re-shuffle will shuffle everything randomly
19:33:39hardeepactually, now that I think about it, queued songs should probably always be the next song to play, irregardless of shuffle
19:33:52hardeepwhich is how they work on the existing implementation
19:35:29hardeepquel|out: there's an open feature request for that... personally, i wouldn't enable that feature. :)
19:36:40hardeepquel|out: actually, would it be sufficient if you just queue the entire directory? that's something i'm going to be adding soon

22:29:41tracktheripperhello steve
22:29:51tracktheripperjust came back from the boozer
22:32:59LinusNStevie[FP]: i wrote pretty much all MAS code
22:33:50tracktheripperyay!
22:34:15tracktheripperabout time linus wrote some mas code :-)
22:35:07Stevie[FP]LinusN: do you know anything about this mas_run() stuff?
22:35:38LinusNwhat do you want to know?
22:35:42Stevie[FP]blah, this page is in swedish =/ I think it is, at least
22:35:50Stevie[FP]just about everything? :P
22:35:56Stevie[FP]there's three calls to mas_run()
22:36:18Stevie[FP]two are hardcoded to 0x475 which the spec sheet says is something about PLL control
22:36:25Stevie[FP]the other is 0xfcb or something
22:36:55LinusNit is a call to DSP code that changes the PLL settings
22:37:40LinusNthere are different versions of the mas, and the DSP code that does the job is at different addresses in the different versions
22:37:53tracktheripperyea
22:38:08LinusNi don't know anything about it, i just do what the data sheets tell me
22:38:21Stevie[FP]heh
22:38:23Stevie[FP]joy
22:38:28tracktherippertry paying Micronas for the data sheets
22:38:43Stevie[FP]are there any DSPs where we don't need an NDA to find, say, the opcodes supported?
22:39:27LinusNStevie[FP]: DSP's are often pretty closed
22:39:37Stevie[FP]that doesn't surprise me
22:39:50Stevie[FP]but all we need to do is find *one* sufficiently open DSP decoder
22:39:51Stevie[FP]err
22:39:54Stevie[FP]but all we need to do is find *one* sufficiently open MP3 decoder
22:39:58LinusNthe PLL settings took quite some detective work to find out
22:40:16LinusNwhy?
22:40:34Stevie[FP]well, let's say we were designing a player
22:40:41tracktheripperhahahaha
22:40:50tracktheripperas if micronas will believe that :-)
22:40:51Stevie[FP]We know that the opcodes of product XYZ can provide the support we need
22:41:16tracktheripperhi linus
22:41:16tracktheripperN
22:41:32Stevie[FP]How do we even KNOW if the 3587's instruction set would support what we need?
22:42:01Stevie[FP]fact is −− the only information I have to go on indicates that it Ogg has a serious chance at not working
22:42:41LinusNStevie[FP]: fact is, the MAS is an MP3 codec, it just happens to be implemented with a DSP
22:42:56Stevie[FP]that masc 3500 guy mentioned a difficulty implementing lookup tables, which I believe Ogg uses a lot of?
22:43:25LinusNwe KNOW that the MAS can do MP3, that's what the data sheets tell us
22:43:25Stevie[FP]yup
22:43:29tracktheripperit cant play wma
22:43:31tracktheripperor ogg
