01:00:20zYgoati just read the arm7 is 'von neumann architecture, not harvard'
01:00:50zYgoatand since the 590t can read/write to flash, it should be possible to store/load programs
01:01:27zYgoatadd to this: there is a linux for the arm720T

01:02:15diddystar5hi
01:02:35zYgoatyou guys know anything about rockbox?
01:02:40diddystar5i do
01:02:43zYgoatlike how it was made?
01:02:46diddystar5i know alot infact
01:02:55diddystar5uhh in c
01:03:30zYgoathow did you learn to control the subsystems (dsp, memory etc)
01:04:15zYgoati'm curious if rockbox could be ported to other devices
01:04:18diddystar5i dont know that much, but since everything has been writen, you just use api stuff
01:04:27diddystar5it has, the neo 35
01:04:40diddystar5(or atleast it's in development)
01:05:45zYgoatwhat cpu?

01:06:20diddystar5it has a sh1 running at 12mhz
01:06:42trackno its a pentium 4 running at 3.5 Ghz
01:10:22zYgoatthat's pretty cool
01:10:38zYgoati'm still agonizing over the iriver vs archos decision
01:10:50diddystar5archos (just for the 20 gi)
01:10:55diddystar5*gb
01:10:59zYgoatmaybe both
01:11:00zYgoathah
01:11:26zYgoatkeychain mp3 for to-go, and jukebox for car or special occasions
01:12:06zYgoati like that the rockbox site has pictures of dissassembly - looks like the QC problems are do-it-yourself fixes
01:12:13zYgoat(battery mount, cold solder points)
01:12:25diddystar5i havent had any problems with those
01:12:35zYgoatdo you have the fm model?
01:12:47diddystar5no, i have a recorder 20
01:13:24zYgoatwhat cpu is that?
01:13:35diddystar5the same sh1
01:15:24CtcpIgnored 3 channel CTCP requests in 55 minutes and 6 seconds at the last flood
01:15:24*zYgoat checks ebay
01:15:51diddystar5the recorder 20 iss probly the best unit
01:17:20 Quit Guest42 ("Leaving")
01:17:54zYgoata recorder 6 has same hardware just different drive?
01:18:16diddystar5yes
01:18:37diddystar5but you will most liely fill the 6 gigs very fast
01:18:42diddystar5*likly
01:19:20zYgoatwell it's just for the car - wouldn't hold much of my collection anyway :)
01:19:42zYgoatah 150 for a 20 GB
01:19:53zYgoatthe auction will probably push it up to 180
01:20:05zYgoatwhich is funny because amazon is blowing-out the 20 FM for 199 euro
01:20:37zYgoatwhich is a very good price for germany
01:21:01zYgoatmax mp3 encode on archos is 128kb/s cbr, yes?
01:21:12trackno its 160kbs vbr
01:21:20zYgoatcool
01:21:49diddystar5no
01:21:59diddystar5360kbs
01:22:08diddystar5(or close to that)
01:22:17zYgoati have only seen docs stating 128
01:22:29zYgoatthe nex ia can only do 64kb/s
01:22:31diddystar5thats the "recommended"
01:22:43zYgoatexcellent
01:22:45diddystar5i encode all my stuff at 192 cbr
01:23:05diddystar5i think 192 is the best sounding, and the best size
01:23:12zYgoat160-224 vbr here
01:24:32zYgoatis it possible for the archos to load programs from the drive?
01:24:45zYgoator does all code need to be in the non-volatile ram?
01:25:09trackme 2 diddystar
01:25:12track192kbs CBR
01:25:14trackis very good
01:25:45diddystar5depends, if you flash, then it goes to a special flash mem, if not, it goes to the 2mb buffer
01:26:51zYgoatso it is possible to load and execute a program that is stored exclusively on the drive
01:27:29zYgoati need to get an archos just to see how this works :)
01:27:50baz_http://rockbox.haxx.se/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2003-12/0439.shtml <=- another joke?

01:29:49zYgoatthat sounds legit
01:30:07zYgoatvery cool, so there is hope the 590t could also do this
01:30:36zYgoathave you guys done coding for rockbox?
01:31:53diddystar5i have
01:32:32diddystar5i made the vu meter
01:32:57zYgoatcool :)
01:33:30zYgoatto draw you just write directly to a memory region?
01:33:40zYgoator is there some kind of drawing library?
01:33:45diddystar5what?
01:33:59diddystar5do you mean draw something to the screen?
01:34:02zYgoatya
01:34:44diddystar5you use API funcs like lcd_draw_pixle, lcd_draw_line, etc...
01:34:51zYgoatk

08:23:20zYgoatwow, an archos return
08:23:52zYgoati think the recorder fm 20 is discontinued
08:24:13zYgoatarchos' line seems to be "keep a moving target"
08:24:32zYgoat"keep releasing new stuff with features - that way we don't have the old headaches"
08:24:55zYgoatwhich is ok i guess - possibly only way for them to survive as a company
08:25:39zYgoatwhat surprises me, is after rockbox clearly blows their firmware out of the water -that they haven't just adopted rockbox
08:26:48zYgoatwell it's not too surprising, due to legal issues and "not invented here" syndrome

18:08:49zYgoatmenu layout is ok i guess - i'd prefer to create my own menus of course
18:09:15zYgoatfm reception was the most interesting to me
18:09:38zYgoatbecause of the difficulty of combining sensitive FM recievers with digital circuitry (a 70 mhz ARM7 CPU etc)
18:10:01zYgoati live in germany - many tightly packed stations - mostly fair signal strength
18:10:04zYgoatbut rejection is key
18:10:49zYgoatwell, in the first floor of my house - reception was good. picked up about 20 listenable stations and about 5 recordable ones
18:11:10zYgoatthen i changed headphones - uh oh - reception characteristics changed massively
18:11:16zYgoatplug into stereo - massive changes again
18:11:27zYgoatmove around - interference, splotching sounds

22:06:35Zagornice, huh?
22:06:52zYgoatnice hack with the greyscales
22:06:58Zagoryeah
22:07:31zYgoati just had an idea
22:07:41zYgoatyou could use that trick to do greyscale for static images too
22:07:56Jet8810anybody getone of those high tech, new archos multimedia big screen models?
22:07:57Zagorhe already does that
22:07:57zYgoata waste of cpu of course
22:08:00zYgoatbut that's what cycles are for
22:08:02zYgoatoh :/
22:08:14Zagortry the "lena" file. it looks great.
22:08:27zYgoati still need to pick-up an archos
22:08:35Zagorah :)
22:08:36zYgoati was hoping to get a used 6GB and drop in a bigger drive
22:09:08Zagorthose early units only have usb1.1 though
22:09:09zYgoator perhaps even a 'broken' one that just has a bent battery clip or a cold solder joint
22:09:28zYgoatwell usb 2.0 is in real life only a few times faster
22:09:39Jet8810well, it makes a HUGE difference zygoat
22:09:44Jet881013 hours vs. one hour
22:09:59Jet8810more or less is what ive got from it
22:10:05zYgoatwow that's more than i read
22:10:07zYgoatthx for the info
22:10:12Zagoryeah, it's clearly worth it i'd say.

22:10:46Zagori don't get 13x speedup, but 6-8x is still enough to make a big difference
22:11:01Jet8810well maybe it is becasue my copmuter is old...4 years
22:11:10Jet8810and the 4 year old usb 1.1 into mobo ports are just slow
22:11:13zYgoatthey're even charging more for the archos recorder
22:11:21beerlihello everyone. I'm intending to buy a v2 recorder. but I'm concerned about the battery
22:11:34beerliany experience?
22:11:36Zagorbeerli: then try to get a v1
22:11:57Jet8810haha

22:12:48Jet8810wow
22:13:03Jet8810beerli, I say get the v2 anyway...its rechargable...and lasts awhile

22:20:56ZagorzYgoat: yes you can increase the ram. there's a documented 8MB mod on the rockbox site. but you don't gain as much as you'd think.
22:21:14Zagoralso it's a quite difficult mod
22:22:48ZagorzYgoat: how do you mean "how ppl got started"? we cracked the scrambling, then wrote our own firmware. what other ways are there? ;)
22:22:56Jet8810lol
22:23:04*xam has the ram at home, but I'm too scared to do smd soldering ... I'm crap in 'normal' soldering, and I'd mess it up - guaranteed!
22:23:57Zagoryeah, if you're not showing off your soldering skills to your friends, you're probably not up for the ram mod.
22:24:04Zagori sure aint

22:26:24zYgoatmmm
22:26:34Jet8810:)
22:26:35xammy friend messed up his ps2 while trying to install the mod chip ...
22:27:34zYgoatone should practice soldering on cheap materials
22:28:50Jet8810heh
22:31:15xamthis is actually quite a funny story: he got a mod chip, and was frustrated that he had to solder 18 wires (directly on the chip/motherboard). So he got an 2nd mod (with an extra circuit board), because they advertized that you just have to solder 9 wires at easy spots ... they just forget to mention that you have to solder the mod chip onto this extra curcuit board that requires additional 26 soldering steps :-P
22:32:30xamat one stage his soldering iron 'slipped' and he burned some transistor on the motherboard ...
22:33:21zYgoatbest soldering i've done was repairing a cracked single-layer circuit board - never touched a cpu

22:33:59zYgoateasier to control the heat (for me)
22:34:31xamfor the first mod: no, for the 2nd mod: yes, but he 'slipped' while trying the 2nd mod
22:36:08xamzYgoat: I have to agree that it's easier with the fine-tip, but you should have a soldering iron where you can regulate the heat (at the transformer)
22:36:10zYgoatbummer for him

22:49:46xamtrack: the recorder 20 has USB2, GUI, green backlight AND rockbox ... and replaceable batteries
22:50:01trackxam i have a recorder 10
22:50:19trackand the UI on the Gmini uses icons not text
22:50:53Zagorfor $300 i'll draw you some icons too :)
22:51:02zYgoati was thinking a perfect game for rockbox would be slot-racers from the atari 2600... man i loved that game... 2k RAM
22:51:06Zagor(on paper ;)
22:51:08xamtrack: icons is for illiterates
22:51:09zYgoatlol
22:51:10trackyea but the screen is smaller than the Gminis
22:51:33trackThere has to be a way to make the USB1 behave like USB2
22:51:36 Quit Jet8810 ("Leaving")
22:51:44trackmy usb2 ports are wasted as I have no usb2 devices :-(
22:51:55Zagortrack: no, there isn't
22:51:58tracki have 4 USB1.1s and 4 USB2.0s
22:52:05trackwhy not? the socket is physically there
22:52:07zYgoati think the usb is integrated into a chipset
22:52:14zYgoatnot a seperate chip - so you can't replace
22:52:17xamI've a usb2 card, but it doesn't work properly under linux :( just can use usb1
22:52:36Zagortrack: duh, the socket is not the issue
22:52:51trackoh
22:52:53trackk
22:53:27trackis it easy to change the HD in the archos?
22:53:36xamyes, quite easy
22:53:52trackif i put an 80 gigger in it will it use more battery?
22:53:57Zagorno
22:54:10trackcool
22:54:11trackok
22:54:24trackim not sure if i could format an 80 gigger as FAT32 since I use XP
22:54:38Zagoruse a separate tool (or linux)
22:54:41xamtrack do you have linux?
22:54:42trackprob there would only be an NTFS option :-(
22:54:46trackno
22:55:08Zagortrack: use this www.ranish.com/part/
22:55:09xamtrack: get knoppix, maybe it comes with dosfstools
22:55:17trackthanks
22:55:17track:-)
22:55:31trackThe AV300 can record to WAV as well as MP3 Zagor
22:55:31track:-)
22:56:00Zagori'd expect that, yes
22:56:25trackI wonder what MAS the AV3xx uses
22:56:35zYgoatdosfstools is old!
22:56:39Zagornone. it uses a TI dsp.
22:56:41zYgoator is it?

22:57:40zYgoatzagor, have you been able to use the experience with rockbox for work?
22:57:51xamcould repair every vfat error so far
22:58:14ZagorzYgoat: a little. i'm programming a similar lcd controller at my current job, for instance.
22:58:39xamzYgoat: I'm always using the experience with rockbox at work ... music at work is relaxing ;)
22:59:11zYgoat:)

23:01:13trackZagor what do u think of the downloadable plugins for the Gmini?
23:02:48tracku buy the Gmini and pay to get the CF reader to work
23:02:50 Quit DJBaz (Remote closed the connection)
23:03:32Zagortrack: it's quite simple: don't buy it if you don't like the idea. i'd be upset if they tried to hide the fact, but being public about it I can't say much.
23:04:09tracklol
23:04:16trackI mean what do u think of the concept?
23:04:41trackjust say u make a Player that can play MP3 or WAV and you sell a plugin to enable WAV playback
23:04:57trackwhat do u think of the concept?
23:05:02xamwhat was the best 'deal' you ever made? I mean what kind of electric/electronic device did you buy in the past that exceeded what it promised?
23:05:05Zagorso you sell software. what's new about that?
23:05:19zYgoatxam, the fostex ps3 mini monitors
23:05:29zYgoatxam, the event 20/20 monitors
23:05:46zYgoattwo good budget speaker buys - newer ones are better deals tho
23:06:00xametymotic er-4
23:06:06trackI mean, do u think its fair you buy a player with a CF reader and forced to pay extra if u want the CF reader to work?
23:06:10zYgoatwhat is etymotic?
23:06:23xamarchos recorder 20 (at least so far, and with help of the rockbox team)
23:06:40zYgoattrack - it's fair if the product description mentions that
23:06:43xametymotic one of the best (in-ear) monitors
23:06:52ZagorzYgoat: an ear plug manufacturer that also sells some headphones. celebrated by many, junked by me
23:07:16zYgoathmm i will look at them
23:07:31zYgoatanyone hear recordings made by "core" binaural mikes?
23:07:35Zagordon't look - listen! they cost $300 and sound (IMHO) lousy
23:07:37xamzagor some don't like sticking things in their ears ... it's uncomfortable for some
23:08:04Zagorxam: i love in-ear phones. i just don't like the etys. i use sony ex70 instead.
23:08:09zYgoatthat website has the most effulgent purchaser reccomendations - the core sound mikes are perfect for loud concerts

23:10:09xamzagor at least for me the sound is comparable to my sennheise HD580's

23:11:26xamzagor I have to agree $330 is quite a lot of money, but I got mine from ebay at $180
23:11:42Zagorxam: yeah, some people love them. i can't say you or they are wrong, just that they were a big dissapointment for me.
23:12:27xamzagor I don't try to convince you ;) I just wanted to also tell my experience ...
23:12:29*zYgoat checks out sony ex70

23:16:16zYgoati notice a lot of his letters are from people without much experience with mics - but he has some from engineers
23:17:04zYgoati've just got these 40 dollar sony earbuds - my 1979 sennheisers died around 1990
23:17:29xamzYgoat: the unfortunate thing about binaural recordings is that it isn't perfect 3d sound. you can't produce it that way for 100% of the people, since the inner ear canals differ from person to person. for me the binaural recording sounded good, but they couldn't represent objects in the front or the back properly

23:18:50zYgoatby that standard, you can't record perfect 3d sound - you need to generate it for each listener
23:19:30xamzYgoat: I also bought some sony earbuds md-something for about $35 a couple of years ago. They are crap in comparison to *any* in-ear bud
23:19:50Zagoryeah. in-ear is the way to go.
23:19:52xamzYgoat: nope, you have to use boxes
23:20:06Zagorexcept stay far away for KOSS "the plug"...

23:20:54xamZagor: I've also hear not-so-good reviews about the bang&olufsen in-ear

23:22:09xamzYgoat: the first in-ears I used was a mono-in-ear from about 20 years ago. it was utter crap ;)
23:22:56zYgoathah i still have one - with the 'flesh' colored backing and the clear or white ear-stopper
23:23:07zYgoatcame with my radio shack electronics kit
