00:00:03diddystar5(or atleast one needle!)
00:00:06BC|codelol
00:00:08BC|codecool
00:00:17***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:00:25diddystar5i just set up a table of values
00:00:28Dr_Slumpbut the must would be to have real NFO viewer (http://www.damn.to/software/nfoviewer.html) and reak cue file viewer (http://brianvictor.tripod.com/mp3cue.htm) :)
00:00:35Dr_Slumpbut i am dreaming then ;)
00:01:05BC|codelet your dreams become a reality :)
00:02:15BC|codeIt is the dreamers who create the future
00:02:58diddystar5the logarithmic scale dosent look as good for realt loud music
00:03:12diddystar5i guess i set a button to switch betwene linear and log
00:03:22BC|codeI hope so
00:03:52BC|codeI wanna BPM counter from you next :)
00:03:54diddystar5i need to figure out a way to make it delay, it jumps to much
00:04:05diddystar5:)
00:04:08BC|codesample less often?
00:04:20diddystar5well then its not so smooth
00:04:27BC|codehmm
00:04:34diddystar5i an go from pixle 0 to 30 in an instant
00:04:42diddystar5and thats not smooth
00:05:15BC|codetake a sample once every second (second is just and easy example)
00:05:35BC|codethen remember THIS sample and LAST sample values
00:05:59BC|codethen 10 times during the second ...move from one to the other
00:06:02diddystar5im not 100% sure it was the best forula to get the value for log, by my formula was log(x)*30.09, where x would be the original x position
00:06:23BC|codenot got a log button on your calculator?
00:06:30diddystar5i do
00:06:38diddystar5i have ti 83+ :)
00:06:41BC|codecool
00:07:05BC|codei've got a casio fx-451 ...and original with the giant solar panel
00:07:06diddystar5i acctually wrote a program on it to figure up all 56 calculations so it was easy to do
00:07:18BC|codebest choice
00:07:30BC|codeprogram on the ti83 of course :)
00:07:33diddystar5i dont know anything about the casio calcs
00:07:38diddystar5of cource
00:07:56diddystar5that basic built in language is very usefull
00:08:21BC|codestill hunting for the ultimate programmers calculator
00:08:31BC|codeso what about my decay idea?
00:08:40diddystar5i found a program someone write on ticalc.org that solves quadratics, you just write down what it says, it shows all the work, it made my homework very easy :)
00:08:48diddystar5the decay idea may work
00:08:59diddystar5ill try it when i get the log scale all nice
00:09:14BC|codeall in a big array?
00:09:23diddystar5yes
00:09:26BC|code:)
00:09:55diddystar5just enter in the AB and C and write down what it says
00:10:06diddystar5cant get much easier than that
00:10:24BC|codeyou can take that into an exam?
00:10:26BC|codecool
00:10:39diddystar5i used it on the state tests
00:10:54BC|codeLMAO
00:11:17diddystar5well see ya BC|code
00:11:20diddystar5takl to you later

00:56:10LinusNi'm here
00:56:25c0uttano worries. i've isolated the source of rockbox hanging.
00:56:32LinusNnice
00:56:48 Quit Dr_Slump ()
00:57:13c0uttathey are a specific set of files that have worked previously on Rockbox
00:57:20LinusNok
00:57:36c0utta192kbps - nothing special about them. You try to play them and they hang. Work OK on WinAmp
00:58:13LinusNhow big are the files? (i have only a v.90 modem right now)
00:59:35c0utta4440kb
00:59:48LinusNouch
01:00
01:00:09LinusNcan you put it up for download somewhere?
01:00:48c0uttai'll try. i think i have some webspace somewhere. leave it with me
01:00:50BC|codedoes the file still exhibit the same behaviour if you cut some of it out of the middle?
01:01:27LinusNif it is the id3 tag, i would only need the beginning of the file
01:01:43c0uttawhat's the best way to cut it ?
01:02:00LinusNdd

01:07:44LinusNhttp://unxutils.sourceforge.net
01:08:00BC|codebookmarked :)
01:09:33BC|codewonder why he didn't use DJ to compile - then he would have NO file dependancies !?
01:13:36c0uttawhich of the unxutils does the cutting ?
01:13:42BC|codedd
01:14:54LinusNdd if=original.mp3 of=newfile.mp3 bs=1024 count=128
01:15:15LinusNwill copy the first 128kbytes from the file to newfile.mp3
01:20:17c0uttabc: FYI - http://members.cox.net/dos/unix.htm doesn't work
01:20:40BC|codec0utta: okay - cheers, sorry for the misdirection
01:20:58c0uttano problem.
01:22:35c0uttai'm on 56K so i'll be about 4 hours downloading the unix utils
01:23:15BC|codehang on dude - i'll get it on cable and send over the one you need.

01:33:37c0uttawhat type of file are you sending ? dcc ignored the type
01:33:49BC|codeunderstood ...we stumbled over the term NMI the other night ;)

01:33:57BC|codesending dd to save you time
01:35:06c0uttaok BC - try again
01:35:41BC|codethat's from the zip from the sourceforge link from linus
01:36:17c0uttagot it. i'll still download the unix utils tho.. :)
01:36:28BC|codefer sure
01:36:40c0uttaLinusN: i also understand your issue about recursive keypresses
01:37:33c0uttai made a change to the F3 screen last night to load the playlist viewer
01:37:47c0uttacaused all sorts of problems - had to turn off and on again.
01:38:27LinusNhehe
01:39:42c0uttai have worked out the problem too..i think

01:43:53LinusNc0utta: nice
01:44:06LinusNwhere can i get the file?
01:48:17BC|codeLinus, do you know a way to make diff "ignore TRAILING spaces"?
01:48:51LinusN"trailing spaces"?
01:49:25BC|codemy editor strips trailing spaces and there are load of lines of code in Rockbox which flag up as "changed"
01:49:51BC|codeI hav a number of fiddly work arounds
01:50:25LinusNregular gnu diff has a -b flag
01:50:39LinusN-b means "ignore whitespace changes"
01:50:45BC|codeI need "trailling" spaces only
01:51:08BC|codeignore "start" spaces means you cannot correct indenting

02:25:35BC|codeok thanx
02:30:53kurzhaarrockerJust for my interest: Is it right that the mas can provide timing information - but only while recording?
02:31:10LinusNyes
02:31:30LinusNit can include a time stamp in the frames
02:32:00kurzhaarrockerSo - theoretically they could be kept persistent?
02:32:10LinusNpersistent?
02:32:27kurzhaarrockerstored in the file and read back while playing.
02:32:51LinusNyes
02:33:17LinusNnot very useful if you edit the file, though
02:33:41kurzhaarrockerhm. And it would only concern files recorded with the mas I assume.
02:34:02kurzhaarrocker-> pretty much effort for little effect to use these infos
02:34:14LinusNagreed
02:34:22LinusNpretty useless, if you ask me
02:40:26BC|codeLinus, is it a simple task to retarget the .rocks to ./$DEVICE/.rockbox/rocks
02:40:41BC|code...for sim
02:41:18LinusNdon't know for windows, but it should be fairly simple
02:41:52BC|codeits more of a makefile problem than a windows problem
02:43:02BC|codeif I do everythng else for the sim, would you help with that bit?
02:44:37LinusNi'll try
02:44:49LinusNc0utta: i have found the cause of the hang
02:44:57BC|codeok thanks, i'll let you know when I get there
02:47:20*kurzhaarrocker is reading tech info
02:47:44kurzhaarrockerwho's dma controller is it that transfers the data? Of the MAS or the cpu?
02:48:42LinusNnone
02:48:50LinusNthere is no dma
02:49:00LinusNwhen recording
02:49:19kurzhaarrockerI was still reading about playback
02:49:36LinusNthe cpu sends serial data to the mas
02:50:01LinusNthe serial controller on the cpu can fetch the data to send with dma
02:50:03 Quit k4waii (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer))
02:50:11kurzhaarrockerah
02:50:24LinusNrockbox uses the dma capability for this
02:51:06kurzhaarrockerfor playback and recording?
02:52:55LinusNrecording uses the 8-bit parallel connection to the MAS
02:53:23kurzhaarrockerok
02:53:39LinusNhowever, we can't use DMA for this, so the CPU has to handle it "manually"
02:54:07LinusNpretty tricky
02:55:11kurzhaarrockerAnd I still have no clue where I could start to understand the beast. There are so many interrupts I have no clue about, what they might be for.
02:55:27LinusNkurzhaarrocker: what are you trying to do?
02:56:13kurzhaarrockerFirst I'd like to understand a _little_ of what happens. Long time goal is mp3 frame precise looping.
02:56:47LinusNfor playback:
02:57:05LinusNthe MAS has a DEMAND signal that is active high
02:57:07kurzhaarrockerlooping recordings is a job for musicians
02:58:14kurzhaarrockerIs that what feeds (on negative edges) the DEI3?
02:58:24LinusNthe DEMAND signal is connected to two pins, PA15 and PB14, PA15 is inverted
02:58:41kurzhaarrockerah
02:59:27LinusNso, PA15 can be configured as IRQ3
02:59:33BC|codei have (a=b=c=d=0xff) and I get "warning operation on rr may be undefined" ...any ideas?
02:59:40LinusNand PB14 as IRQ6
03:00
03:00:02BC|code "warning operation on d may be undefined"
03:00:08kurzhaarrockerSo we have irqs for both: mas needs data and mas is fed up?
03:00:08LinusNBC|code: show me the entire expression
03:00:24LinusNyes (on recorder only)
03:00:24BC|codell = rr = rl = rr = 0xC000;
03:00:39LinusNBC|code: you have rr twice
03:00:46BC|codethanks
03:00:49BC|coded'oh!
03:01:27LinusNso, IRQ3 enables the serial DMA and IRQ6 disables it
03:02:09c0uttaLinusN: parenting. what's the cause of the hang ?
03:02:30LinusNthe id3 tag is bad, basically
03:02:56LinusNolder versions of rockbox handled that more or less by mistake
03:03:35kurzhaarrockerDo those dma chunks _have_ to be 64 kb or may they be smaller?
03:03:37LinusNkurzhaarrocker: the DEI3 interrupt is triggered by the DMA controller when the DMA block has been sent
03:03:46LinusNkurzhaarrocker: they are 8k iirc
03:04:05c0uttayou were correct then - id3 tag was the issue
03:04:13LinusNyup
03:04:29LinusNi don't know how to fix it yet
03:04:50c0uttaand no-one else reported it ?
03:04:56LinusNnope
03:05:46GazelHi all geniuses ! I just got my FMR back from repair (warranty), all fine, and so i come back to rockbox to see what's new :) Can u briefly tell me what is currently incorporated in the daily builds that is not present in 2.1 ? i know about playlist viewer and video player... anything else ?
03:05:49LinusNc0utta: the frame size field of the TYER tag is wrong
03:05:51kurzhaarrockerSo there's a short period of undefined length between DMA is complete (DEI) and Mas wants food (irq3)?
03:06:22LinusNGazel: LCD upside down flip, bug fixes, new rocks
03:06:35kurzhaarrockerdon't forget the new clock plugin :)
03:06:37LinusNkurzhaarrocker: yes
03:06:41Gazel(sorry to appear at that moment :o) thanx !
03:06:44LinusNkurzhaarrocker: "new rocks"
03:06:55kurzhaarrockererm. yes.
03:07:04LinusNthe clock is cool
03:07:22Gazelwhat does it do ? show time ?
03:07:23LinusN(especially the digital one :-)
03:07:29LinusNGazel: yes
03:07:32Gazelok
03:07:37kurzhaarrockerBut you can have the help (f1) only once. And I don't know how to change the date format...
03:07:55LinusNthe date format is fixed, methinks
03:08:01kurzhaarrockerme too
03:08:47LinusNthe dma block size was lowered to 8k some time ago, to increase the resolution of the resume info
03:08:58midknight2k3oh my clock?
03:09:03LinusNyes
03:09:06midknight2k3yay
03:09:23kurzhaarrockerWas my assumption right that the dma chunk always has to be the complete size - be it 8 or 64 kb?
03:09:35LinusNno

03:10:03midknight2k3i should make IRC beep everytime someone says "clock"
03:10:05midknight2k3:)
03:10:10LinusNthree cases:
03:10:17LinusN1) end-of-song
03:10:22LinusN2) track change
03:10:28LinusN3) buffer wrap
03:10:55 Quit edx{code} (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
03:11:18kurzhaarrocker? buffer wrap? Sounds delicious. New kebab. What's that?
03:11:34LinusNthe mp3 ram buffer is circular
03:11:41kurzhaarrockerok
03:17:43kurzhaarrockerIn the source comments I repeatedly read interrupt on level 5. Does the sh1 have priority handling for interrupts?
03:17:53LinusNyes
03:17:56LinusN15 levels
03:18:15kurzhaarrockerHave there been problems with them?
03:18:26LinusNi believe so, yes
03:18:42LinusNwe had to adjust a few levels once, iirc
03:19:04kurzhaarrockerSounds like a hell to debug.

05:53:14BC|codethink I'll stick with 2.8
05:53:37BC|codedont see the point in 5 - with the classic skin - it is IDENTICAL to 2.8
05:53:51midk2k3is not
05:53:59arspy87every winamp after 2.8 is bloated and leaves a big memory footprint

13:25:42c0uttahey, kurz
13:25:53c0uttai heard that you had looked at keyboard mapping
13:26:31kurzhaarrockeroh, yes.
13:26:53kurzhaarrockerI was as far as a working prototype -with some bugs
13:27:08Laurent_hey kurz
13:27:11c0uttai had a long discussion with linus and bluechip about this topic
13:27:19dwihnoah
13:27:22dwihnoso what did you guys find out?
13:27:33kurzhaarrockerc0utta I've read about that
13:27:46kurzhaarrockerhey Laurent_ :)
13:28:54kurzhaarrockerThe main issue (stack problems) that Linus had are true but can be overcome as long as you impose some restrictions
13:29:05c0uttayeah, i've got very simple requirements. i currently modify f2_screen & f3_screen myself
13:29:43kurzhaarrockerI had that as a by product, too...
13:30:22c0uttait seems that the philosophy with rockbox is that you should be able to use any key at any time
13:30:43c0uttathis causes the stack problems that linus was referring to
13:32:23kurzhaarrockerWell for that you need to 'walkback' the callstack before entering another branch of the user interface.
13:33:04Laurent_do keys generate interruptions ?
13:33:10kurzhaarrockerNo
13:33:33c0uttalooks like keys are polled to me
13:34:36dwihnoA separate key thread?
13:34:48kurzhaarrocker-> To implement user bindable keys we'd have to rewrite every single switch(button) thingie within all rockbox. That's owfully much.
13:35:17dwihnoIf we want bindable keys, that has to be done.
13:36:10Laurent_it depends, you might just replace switch( button ) by switch ( get_user_button( button ) ) if it's done properly
13:36:54kurzhaarrockerLaurent_: no that doesn't work. It's not just button substitution.
13:37:35Laurent_sorry, I tried ;)
13:37:38c0uttamy simple requirements only involve f2 & f3 so easier to implement. i would not be interested in fully bindable keys personally
13:37:43kurzhaarrockerbuttons behave totally different in different contextes
13:38:03Laurent_true
13:38:26kurzhaarrockerBut within f2, f3 screens you use other keys, too
13:38:49*kurzhaarrocker digs to find his old fn screen patch.
13:39:45dwihnoI think the key bindings are pretty OK
13:40:05dwihnoPerhaps customizable F2/F3 screens might be useful.
13:40:12kurzhaarrockerThat's a matter of taste / use
13:40:18c0uttadwihno: i agree. f2/f3 is very underused
13:40:45kurzhaarrockerThey are just the peak of the mountain
13:41:02c0uttathat's why they're relatively easy :)
13:41:14dwihnokurzhaarrocker: tell me how you would like to change the key bindings...
13:42:27kurzhaarrockerI haven't made up my mind completely and its been a while. But eg I'd prefer skipt to next / previous song to be a button combo. And I'm very lonly with this wish. User assignable keys could solve that.
13:43:06dwihnoah
13:43:10c0uttai'm sooo vanilla
13:43:33kurzhaarrockerLet's make some cake from c0utta
13:43:39kurzhaarrocker:)
13:43:41c0uttalol
13:43:44dwihnokurzhaarrocker: you apply your own patches to make those changes right now?
13:43:46*Laurent_ is going to be sick from eating too much chocolate
13:44:13c0uttaguys, i have some general development questions..
13:44:29c0uttaif i decide to do a patch for f2/f3 how do i keep synced with the source
13:45:34kurzhaarrockerdwihno: no I've been working key schemes since more than half a year because my unit broke. Now I'm more concerned about split editors and a 'rehearsal plugin' which would suit the need of a musician in a band.
13:45:59kurzhaarrockerc0utta cvs is the only way
13:46:43c0uttai'm concerned i'll trample over someone else's work
13:46:45kurzhaarrockerWhat I did was #ifdef 0 the original code. So not every commit resulted in a conflict.
13:46:56dwihnokurzhaarrocker: split editor?
13:47:44kurzhaarrockerc0utta: Just try to update regularily. I think sometimes there has a price to be paid.
13:48:12c0uttabut if i update incomplete/buggy code does this stuff everyone else ?
13:48:22c0uttado the daily builds get mashed ?
13:48:49dwihnoc0utta: Well, key bindings at some places are things that does not change too often. I don't think you will get much of a problem when checking out new revisions.

13:51:19Laurent_c0utta: cvs does not replace old code with yours, it integrates the differences between your code and the "old" one
13:51:23Laurent_old->current
13:52:00orbycan anybody here tell me if the FM recorder 20 is worth $80 more than the recorder 20? :)
13:52:06c0uttanever used cvs. come from a vb programming background. the last c programming i did was talking to manufacturing equipment
13:52:19orby(aside from the fact it'll tune FM stuff)
13:53:10dwihnoorby: it isn't, if you ask me. I think the FM has one major downside that prevents me from ever purchasing one. Custom batteries.
13:53:10c0uttaLaurent_: what if: c0utta->current<-laurent_
13:53:28Laurent_c0utta: this can't happen
13:53:42c0uttawhy ?
13:53:42Laurent_the cvs server merges one first, then the other
13:54:15Laurent_they knew some guy name c0utta would try to mess things :)
13:54:21kurzhaarrockerc0utta: Then I'd recommend to play around with cvs for half a day. Put up a simple demo cvs root on your own machine. After you'll feel better. At least it helped me

14:48:18PierrotHi everybody
14:48:47kurzhaarrockerhi
14:49:08PierrotI'm a beginner, and I need pieces of advice
14:49:44Pierrotkurzhaarrocker => do you know how compil a .c file into a .rock file ?
14:50:06kurzhaarrockeryes. You'll need a complete toolchain for that
14:50:29Laurent_h
14:50:31Laurent_hi
14:50:37kurzhaarrockerLook at http://rockbox.haxx.se/docs/, there it is explained quite well
14:51:15Pierrothum
14:52:01Pierrotfor .rock files as "snow.rock" or simply "helloworld.rock" , I have to compil all the rockbox ?
14:52:33kurzhaarrockerYou don't have to, but its easier that compiling it separately :)
14:52:43kurzhaarrockerthat = than
14:53:16Pierrotand If I want to compil it separately, how can I do ?
14:53:17kurzhaarrockerActually you need parts of the rest of rockbox for your rock
14:53:24Pierrotok
14:53:40Pierrothave you time to explain me how to compil that ?
14:53:42Pierrotplease*
14:53:56kurzhaarrockerPierrot: don't try. It would really be the hard way to compile it separately
14:54:03Pierrotok.
14:54:19Pierrotis it long to compil rockbox ?
14:54:37kurzhaarrockerIt takes less than a minute once the tool chain is set up
14:54:45Pierrotwhat is this tool chain ?
14:55:02kurzhaarrockerAre you working on linux or win32?
14:55:07Pierrotwin32
14:55:19kurzhaarrockerThat would be the cygwin way :)
14:55:24Pierrotok :)
14:55:50Pierrotand what do I exactly need ?
14:56:33kurzhaarrockeras said before in http://rockbox.haxx.se/docs/ you can find all the info including a link to the development environment found at http://rockbox.my-vserver.de/win32-sdk.html
14:56:57Pierrotthx :):)
14:57:35kurzhaarrockerThe tool chain mainly consists of cygwin - which is something like a little bit linux on windows and the compiler for the sh1 processor
14:58:32kurzhaarrockercygwin is needed for all the tools like make, shells to execute the shell scripts and so on.

15:00:27Pierrotjust the name ... but I don't really know how it works
15:01:05Laurent_Pierrot: why do you want to compile only some files ?
15:02:10kurzhaarrockerIn the long run you'll want to find out. But for the first try it would be nothing but an additional hazzle. Thus I'd recommend to use a tarball of the daily builds on http://rockbox.haxx.se/daily.shtml.
15:02:13PierrotBecause I want to add only .rock files ..
15:02:47Pierrotok. thx :)
15:04:05kurzhaarrockerActually the rocks are based on an api defined by the rockbox. So you'll need something to link your rock against. These things are byproducts of the compile process. They aren't downloadable anywhere so you have to build them yourself. You can't get around building rockbox completely at least once.
15:04:32CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
15:04:32*Laurent_ doesn't even know what a .rock is ;) this seems to be an object file of some sort ?
15:04:56kurzhaarrockerAfterward the makefiles take care that only the source that has changed (your rock) is compiled.
15:05:03kurzhaarrockerLaurent_: rocks == plugins
15:05:33Laurent_kurzhaarrocker: oh, thanks
15:06:03Laurent_while I am at it : another dumb question -> what's a .ucl ?
15:06:24kurzhaarrockerThat's the file that is used for flashing
15:07:03kurzhaarrockerI think it's a specially compressed .ajz / .mod thingie

15:11:30Pierrotanother dumb question => how does work a patch ?
15:12:17kurzhaarrockera patch is a file that contains _changes_ to the current source. When you apply a patch these changes are inserted into your source.
15:12:45Pierrotand after, I have to compil the source, haven't I ?
15:12:54Laurent_that's the contrary
15:12:57kurzhaarrockeryes.
15:13:02Laurent_huh ?
15:13:09Pierrotlooooooool Laurent_
15:13:16kurzhaarrockererm the yes was for Pierrot
15:13:21Laurent_first changes, then compile, then patch then submit patch ?
15:13:38kurzhaarrockerok
15:14:15PierrotLaurent_ => I think it's not a patch as U have the habit to download
15:14:34Pierrotit's not the kind of patch U use for a game or smthng like that
15:14:54Laurent_no, it's a source patch, made with diff
15:15:52kurzhaarrockerso there are two sides of a patch.
15:15:52kurzhaarrocker1.) the programmer who has changed the source creates a patch with his changes.
15:15:52kurzhaarrocker2.) another programmer who wants to try the changes applies the patch from programmer1 to his own source
15:16:27kurzhaarrockerSo there are two processes: creating a patch and applying a patch.
15:16:41kurzhaarrockerI described applying a patch.
15:17:14Laurent_ok, that's why I was wrong
15:17:20Laurent_my apologies ;)
15:17:24kurzhaarrockeryou weren't
15:17:43Laurent_I was wrong in thinking the process was creating a patch ;)
15:18:34Laurent_oops, I must go, if I don't go shopping now, I'll never do it ;)

17:10:38OrbyXcool
17:11:00OrbyXI'm just trying to figger out if I should upgrade to the FM Recorder to stick with the regular recorder
17:11:11OrbyXI think the FM Recorder has a different design and maybe different battery?!
17:11:22OrbyXwhich has been my big complaint so far withmy recorder :(
17:11:31OrbyXbattery life sux!
17:19:52dwihnoregular recorder rules!
17:19:59dwihnowell, buy a new set of batteries
17:20:05dwihnopowerex 2200! :D
17:21:18OrbyXThey should stop billing the batteries as "10hrs" life if they only provide 1.5 hour
17:21:34OrbyXDoesn't the FM Recorder come with Li-Ion ones though?
17:24:51dwihnothink so
17:25:10OrbyXI wonder what the life of those are per charge?

22:09:09Asmotaku-nekok, I get it, it's pure reverse eng.
22:10:23Asmotaku-nekou guy should have put a hit counter on rockbox.haxx.se, that could have been a clue to praise Archos for an SDK release.
22:10:35Asmotaku-nekodon't u think ?

22:51:34[IDC]Dragon(looks like Linus jumped away)
22:51:47LinusNi think stream oriented mpeg handling will complicate things even more
22:52:08[IDC]Dragonplease explain...
22:52:14LinusNK.I.S.S
22:52:17kurzhaarrockerDo you mean things like keeping time?
22:52:33LinusNkeeping time, buffer handling, rw/ff
22:52:36[IDC]Dragonit's not simple the way it is...
22:52:37LinusNdma
22:52:42LinusNno it isn't
22:53:11LinusNbut the file i/o is the smallest part of it
22:53:26[IDC]DragonI wouln't call it streaming, but seperating source and sink just has to be easier (gut feeling)
22:53:56LinusNwhen playing mpeg data, what would be the sink other than the MAS?
22:54:11kurzhaarrockerA file while recording
22:54:22LinusN"when playing"
22:54:23[IDC]Dragontrue for sink, but the source may differ
22:54:33LinusNyes it could
22:54:44LinusNi agree that playing from RAM would be nice
22:55:10[IDC]Dragon:)
22:55:24LinusNi'm just allergic to unnecessary abstractions
22:55:49LinusNbut maybe a source/sink approach would be nice
22:56:24[IDC]DragonI find them (abstractions) helpful to have a mental modularization
22:56:25BC|codenice way forward to new platforms too
22:56:34MTon a side note, ive emailed multichannel asking for possible information sharing about the xclef
22:56:44LinusNBC|code: which platform doesn't have read()?
22:57:13[IDC]Dragonit's more the MAS side to worry about...
22:57:19BC|codeLinusN: My consideration was more to the sink
22:57:21LinusNi also agree that mpeg.c is a mess
22:57:27MTfingers crossed, they may supply some information about their flash procedure
22:57:51kurzhaarrockerBut when we have a source/sink approach - why stop there? Imagine we have different sources - they all could be encapsulted by the same buffer mechanism which is between the source and the real sink
22:57:54BC|codeLinusN: but intuitively if you isolate the sink, then the source becomes isolated by default
22:58:19LinusNkurzhaarrocker: you said the forbidden word - encapsulate!!!!

23:00:18kurzhaarrockerIs that mantra?
23:00:21BC|codehmm, me too.. brb
23:00:26LinusNLaurent_: Joel Spoilsky?
23:00:46Laurent_http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/LeakyAbstractions.html (yup)
23:00:51Asmotaku-neko*sob* *sob* I wish I could find an alternate firmware for my AV140 ! *sob*
23:00:55LinusNK.I.S.S is a Rockbox mantra
23:01:21LinusNAsmotaku-neko: you wanted the history of Rockbox?
23:02:05Laurent_I also think that it would be a nice thing to have on the web site
23:02:19LinusNthe history?
23:02:21Laurent_yes
23:02:28Asmotaku-nekoWell, yes, but I wondered how your community managed to dev some firmware on JBM
23:02:29LinusNDaniel is writing it
23:02:52LinusNAsmotaku-neko: that is a completely different beast
23:03:01Laurent_when I discovered Rockbox it has been the first thing I have searched
23:03:05Asmotaku-nekoDaniel is writing some firmware for AV1XX series ? is that it ?
23:03:15LinusNno, the history
23:03:27Asmotaku-nekoOr did I misunderstood ?
23:03:55Asmotaku-nekoduh ! painful answer !
23:04:02Asmotaku-neko*sob* *whine*
23:04:11Asmotaku-nekoT_T
23:04:18LinusNAsmotaku-neko: work is being done
23:04:24BC|codebak
23:04:40LinusNbut none of the core rockbox developers have a MM device

23:06:23Laurent_so the "we wont touch mm devices" motto, is more due to lack of resources than to some other reason ?
23:06:35LinusNalso lack of interest
23:06:47Laurent_I thought it was because there were too much differences on the hardware side
23:06:55BC|codeI guess the interest would grow if we all owned them
23:07:00LinusNif i felt i needed a mm decice i would have bought one already
23:07:03MTAsmotaku-neko: it was a bit like this with the FM Recorder - people were getting there, but quite slowly. Then one kind man bought Linus an FM Recorder, he disected it and within a month the port was stable and complete
23:07:07MTalthough it is VASTLY different hardware
23:07:07Laurent_the MM devices would be interesting PDAs
23:07:25PierrotI have a problem. my girlfriend had plugged her jukebox on an USB port, but she unplugged it without removing it by the icon in the taskbar. Now when she plug the JB on the computer, she get a blue screen ... Have U got an idea of what she could do ??
23:07:34BC|code1 month!? Respect dude !
23:07:46Asmotaku-nekolol...reboot
23:07:50Pierrotshe did
23:07:56Pierrotit's still the same probleem
23:08:00Pierrotproblem*
23:08:22MTwin9x i bet?
23:08:22BC|codePierrot: reboot safe mode - system - device mangler - remove ALL occurences of Jukbox drivers - reboot
23:08:28LinusNPierrot: does the jukebox work without usb?
23:08:36PierrotI don't know
23:08:41Pierrotwhat if it works .. ?
23:08:48BC|codeahhh, check Linus advice first
23:08:52Pierrotlol ok
23:08:55LinusN[IDC]Dragon: about the source/sink idea, what did you have in mind?
23:09:18Pierrotso, I don't know if it works or not ... tell me what to do in both cases please LinusN
23:09:18[IDC]Dragonyou mean, in addition to what I posted?
23:09:40LinusNPierrot: i want to know if you can playt music with it?
23:10:06[IDC]DragonI've worked with DirectShow in the past, and we developed an architecture for mobile phones recently.
23:10:39PierrotI don't know ... I don't have my girlfriend's JB here
23:10:40[IDC]DragonBoth are too big for what we need here, but stripping down is the easier part.
23:10:45*c0utta is AWAY: -[ auto-away ]- away for about 10 minutes
23:10:50Pierrotbut I guess it can play music
23:10:57LinusNPierrot: i can imagine two things:
23:11:31LinusNeither the windows drivers are corrupt (doubt it), or the file system on the JB is corrupt (more likely)
23:11:59PierrotWhat can I do if the file system on the JB is corrupt ?
23:12:02LinusNi suggest you connect it to another computer and scandisk (or reformat) the drive
23:12:45Pierrotok
23:12:52LinusN[IDC]Dragon: i can imagine a simple abstraction of the I/O parts
23:13:11[IDC]Dragonsomething like that
23:13:13LinusNso you can read/seek/write to a RAM buffer
23:13:32[IDC]Dragonwho's RAM buffer?
23:13:38Laurent_does one say zeroes or zeros ?
23:13:43LinusNmy RAm buffer
23:14:00[IDC]Dragonwho is "me"?
23:14:23LinusNLaurent_: i guess it's zeros in USA and zeroes in England
23:14:25[IDC]DragonI suggest the source owns the buffer
23:14:42LinusNyes
23:14:52[IDC]Dragonthe sink consumes it and notifies before it needs more
23:15:17LinusNhow long before?
23:15:42LinusNand how does it notify?
23:15:45LinusNand why?
23:15:49kurzhaarrockerThat's why I'd prefer streaming then the sink can just fetch from the input "queue"
23:15:49[IDC]Dragondragging me onthe ice? ;)
23:16:07LinusNthis is why i prefer a simple read()
23:16:26LinusNno abstract mumbojumbo
23:16:35[IDC]Dragonlet's put it the other way: the source tries to stuff the buffer until it stalls
23:17:11BC|code::: should we code with the intention of our code running on machines which may be supported in the future?
23:17:14kurzhaarrockerIt could stuff its own buffer which the sink reads
23:17:37LinusNBC|code: not if you ask me
23:17:40[IDC]Dragonkurzhaarrocker: that's what I mean
23:17:54BC|codethat makes perfect sense of the opposed views
23:18:21kurzhaarrockerBut that means that all the high / lowwater mechanisms have to be handled by the source.
23:18:30[IDC]DragonI'd like to do the bitswapping late, like just in time, to keep the data intact for seeking
23:18:32kurzhaarrockerBy every source
23:18:39LinusNi see no reason to go lengths to make code portable when you don't even know if it will ever be ported
23:19:12BC|codeI understand your thought, but to many (myself included) it is habitual ...not sure if that is good or bad
23:19:38[IDC]Dragonkurzhaarrocker: the watermarking is because of the source, so should be its business.
23:19:57LinusNwell, i said "go lengths" because there are of course reasons why we stick to the POSIX API for instance
23:20:00[IDC]Dragonthe powered down disk has other latency than a RAM buffer
23:20:21LinusNso some effort is always good
23:20:23Laurent_oops, does anyone know what to type to reset a terminal that switched to some obscure mode ? (off topic I know)
23:20:32LinusNstty sane
23:20:33kurzhaarrockerBut why not put that low highwater mechanism into a pipe that connects source and drain
23:20:57[IDC]Dragonmy vote
23:20:59Laurent_LinusN: hum... not enough unfortunately ;)
23:21:02Pierrotthx for your advices LinusN :)
23:21:09LinusNPierrot: you're welcome
23:21:13Pierrotgood bye everybody
23:21:17LinusNbye
23:21:19kurzhaarrockercu Pierrot
23:21:39 Quit Pierrot ()
23:21:46LinusNkurzhaarrocker, [IDC]Dragon: hold it for a second
23:21:55*kurzhaarrocker holds it
23:22:01*[IDC]Dragon holds "it"
23:22:14LinusNgo back and think of the reasons why you wanted to do this source/sink stuff
23:22:24[IDC]DragonOK
23:22:48LinusNwas it to create a nice "architecture" that was really neat and cool, or was it because you wanted to play mpeg data from different sources?
23:23:16[IDC]Dragonthe latter, but I was thinking about the way to there
23:23:40[IDC]Dragonand other things:
23:23:52kurzhaarrockerfiner control over what is played when
23:24:12[IDC]DragonI'd like the buffer data to stay unswapped for as long as possible, to allow seeking around
23:24:31LinusN[IDC]Dragon: explain
23:24:59[IDC]DragonWe can parse the headers way better when it's plain
23:25:14LinusNah
23:25:21[IDC]Dragonan old feature whish of mine: have audible FF/FR
23:25:26kurzhaarrocker(apropos swapping: I heared rumors there was someone with access to the MAS specs -> could swapping be delegated to the mas?)
23:25:45LinusNkurzhaarrocker: yes and no
23:25:53[IDC]DragonI was discussing that wit BC yesterday
23:26:06kurzhaarrockerI'll read that later
23:26:14[IDC]Dragonthe avail info is by far not enough
23:26:15LinusNit would probably require quite a lot of code rewriting
23:26:21LinusNin the MAS
23:26:32[IDC]Dragonfor which we have no tools
23:26:42LinusNnor knowledge
23:26:45[IDC]Dragonnor even an instruction set
23:26:54BC|codeLinus ...have you managed to speak to "my contact" yet?
23:26:59*kurzhaarrocker 's dream burst like a soap bubble
23:27:18LinusNyes, we have contacted Micronas once again
23:27:23BC|codegreat
23:27:24Laurent_are the recorder/player's archos firmwares compressed ?
23:27:37kurzhaarrockerno
23:27:45kurzhaarrockerjust scrambled
23:27:47Laurent_the gmini's is
23:27:51LinusNBC|code: however, the nice guy at Micronas has quit his job, so another person is taking his place
23:27:55BC|codehe can take his time to reply sometimes, (although not as bad as mas) but his replies are always worth waiting for :)
23:28:03BC|codeBALLS!
23:28:17LinusNwe contacted him, waiting for an answer
23:29:04kurzhaarrockerLinusN: if you vote for a simple read: would there still any buffering on the side of the mpeg engine?
23:29:11BC|codeLinus: there are more under-handed ways of contacting techies ...if you get stuck, PLEASE ask
23:29:22LinusNBC|code: i'll do that
23:29:40kurzhaarrockereg the dma chunks..
23:29:57LinusNkurzhaarrocker: the mpeg.c code (today) needs a large consecutive RAM buffer
23:30:35LinusNthat can of course change
23:30:56Laurent_255464 Oct 22 13:42 FirmwareGmini100_v120.aos
23:30:56Laurent_253817 Dec 29 23:19 FirmwareGmini100_v120.aos.gz
23:31:48LinusNthe mpeg playing today uses very little CPU (except for the bitswapping)
23:32:13LinusNthanks to the DMA and the large buffer
23:32:17BC|codeLinus: do you know the valid range for the Stereo seperation registers?
23:32:38[IDC]Dragondo you set the DMA for the whole lot, or piecewise?

23:33:08[IDC]Dragonso there is a granularity, good.
23:33:12Laurent_I read on the mailing list that the hd's cache is invalidated when it stops spinning, is that true ?

23:33:48BC|codelinus: 8k !? so where does 7ffff or 80001 come from then?
23:33:48LinusNBC|code: i assume it's -1 to 0
23:33:49[IDC]Dragonthat was short...
23:33:52kurzhaarrockerstrange Guest
23:34:07Laurent_probably very shy
23:34:07LinusNBC|code: where does what?
23:34:26LinusNLaurent_: yes, the cache is invalidated
23:34:39BC|codeLinusN: D0:7F? Stereo/narrow/wide/mono/etc
23:34:56Laurent_LinusN: isn't there any way to prevent this from happening ? that would help buffering a lot
23:35:45 Join chris [0] (jirc@56.238.62.62.9nanterr1-0-ro-bas-1.9tel.net)
23:35:49LinusNLaurent_: yes, we can use another powersaving mode, which draws a lot more power
23:35:52kurzhaarrockerBut it would need power to keep the hd on
23:36:15chrishi
23:36:29Laurent_LinusN: I see, more buffer but less batteries so it's probably better not to do it ?
23:36:33kurzhaarrockerHi!
23:36:45BC|codehi Chris
23:36:49chrishi
23:36:51LinusNLaurent_: true, and don't overestimate the importance of the disk cache
23:37:02chrispanic
23:37:06chrisata -61
23:37:23chris???????
23:37:45Laurent_how many bytes is the memory buffer ?
23:38:01chriswhere can Isee it?
23:38:46chrischui français
23:38:51LinusNchris: when do you get it?
23:39:11kurzhaarrockerInfo in the main menu
23:39:13LinusNLaurent_: 1.7Mbytes or so
23:39:38chrisI got it when i push on
23:40:01LinusNBC|code: i think the range is -1 to +1
23:40:17LinusNchris: flashed?
23:40:31chrisnot flashed
23:40:45chrisIm formating the drive
23:40:49BC|codeLinus: how does 0x7FFFF fit that rrange?
23:41:11kurzhaarrockerlol! virtual memory!
23:41:18BC|codeLinus: maybe a better example would be 0xC0000
23:41:32LinusNBC|code: page 23 in the 3587F data sheet
23:42:06BC|codeahhaa, maybe I have the wrong PDF open
23:43:29chrisI d formatted the drive but the register hd drive error came back
23:43:55LinusNchris: that is very often a battery problem
23:44:16chrisI hope so
23:44:44kurzhaarrockerDidn't these problems rise somtimes when the battery connecter solder points break?
23:45:05LinusNyeah
23:45:36chrismy problems came when i deleted some files
23:45:59kurzhaarrockercould still be a battery problem
23:46:41BC|codeLinus: cheers - wrong data sheet!
23:47:38Laurent_got an idea : let's assume hd's cache is 0.5Mb, proceed so -> read 1.7 Mb into memory in a single run, then read the next 0.5Mb consecutively chunk by chunk into a small buffer (ie don't store it), then power down while keeping the cache valid, as soon as 0.5Mb are played, read them from the cache into memory, then power down completely for 1.7Mb of playing data
23:47:43kurzhaarrockermpeg engine: Would it be reasonable to keep a little queue of maybe 3 or 4 8kb dma chunks in the mpeg engine and the rest of the bufferin has to be done by the source?
23:48:40[IDC]DragonI'd say: the source hands buffers to it, period.
23:48:54[IDC]DragonThe sink eats it up as availabe
23:48:55kurzhaarrockerLaurent_: I have no idea wether there is sucha fine control over the cache of the disk
23:48:59Laurent_so, the hd stays in low power mode during 0.5Mb worth of playing data and is off during 1.7Mb worth of playing data, so general consumption is down by a good factor
23:49:03[IDC]Dragonand passes them back
23:49:09LinusNLaurent_: that may work, but you don't know how and when and what the HD stores in the cache, and i see lots of complications, like if the user pauses the music when the hd is not powered down
23:49:25 Quit chris ("Leaving")
23:50:28scott666and what if it its an 8mb cache?
23:50:41LinusN[IDC]Dragon: that means that the buffer handling would be done at interrupt time?
23:50:43kurzhaarrocker[IDC]Dragon: And the buffer has to be aproppriately granular ?
23:50:48Laurent_I don't know who that user guy is but in every design I ever saw, he's always putting us in trouble ;)
23:50:55scott666youd keep the disk up for 6.3mb of time
23:51:19[IDC]DragonLinusN: not necessarily, it can be a task
23:51:25LinusNLaurent_: "Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my drive?"
23:51:45Laurent_lol
23:53:03LinusNLaurent_: i had that as my email signature for a while, and I later received an answer to that:
23:53:37BC|code...He is there to keep Major Problem under control
23:53:38LinusN"He is the commanding officer of Major Disk Crash, who is the commanding officer of Private Files"
23:53:44BC|codeLOL
23:53:53[IDC]Dragonthe memory doesn't have to be chunked, it could stay one circular buffer as it is today.
23:54:15Laurent_nice one ;)
23:54:16[IDC]Dragonthe sink maintained the read pointer, the source does the write pointer
23:55:44kurzhaarrockerhm. ok. I want functions to control the read pointer, too.
23:56:16[IDC]Dragondepends on if you're a source or sink
23:56:28[IDC]Dragonkurzhaarrocker: for which use case?
23:56:36kurzhaarrockerlooping
23:57:08kurzhaarrockerI want to be able to tell it: when you arrived here, then jump there
23:57:33[IDC]Dragonhmm, then you may better work whith chunks
23:57:44[IDC]Dragonso they can form a linked list
23:58:19kurzhaarrockerIf we want to beep we could tell the read pointer jumpt to the beep and then continue
