00:02:25top_blokewinamp does 2x unless u get pro
00:02:35top_blokewhich is limited only by ur drive
00:02:50Garyyou like winamp pro?
00:03:11top_blokei dont have pro
00:03:21top_blokejust regular
00:03:42top_bloketoo lazy to find a keygen
00:05:51Garytrying to modify the playlist within the archos
00:06:18top_blokehow u gonna do that?
00:07:54Garynot sure - maybe go into the text editor for each m3u file?
00:08:05Garyprobably not realistic for 250 playlists

02:16:07c0uttahey Gary, another good option is tag&rename for m3u. http://www.softpointer.com/tr.htm
02:16:40BC|Codefor id3 taggers for windows ...I quite like ID3Tagit
02:17:22c0uttai like t&r because it uses freedb and allmusic.com
02:17:31Garyill try it out
02:17:39Garythanks!
02:17:52c0uttai just use a batch file to copy from my PC to the archos
02:18:12BC|Codenever understood that ...how can you use freedb to identify an MP3?
02:18:28c0uttaBC|Code: you need the whole album
02:18:31BC|Codeahhh
02:18:55c0uttayou can use allmusic.com for individual songs
02:19:14c0uttai used to use ultratagger but it seems to corrupt some of the id3 tags
02:19:55c0uttathat was the problem i had with rockbox a few days ago. linus still hasn't fixed it, but at least we could isolate the problem
02:20:06top_blokehey c0utta do u code?
02:20:16c0uttatop_bloke: badly, but yes
02:20:29top_blokeor BC if youre not busy
02:20:38BC|Codeyeah?
02:20:51top_blokei wanna show they day of the week
02:21:00BC|Codeexample?
02:21:08top_blokethursday
02:21:14top_blokebut rb gives me a number
02:21:19BC|Codemulti language?
02:21:25top_blokenah english for now
02:21:45BC|Codehow many times will you use the code within your app?
02:21:49top_blokeonce
02:22:00BC|Codewhat is the number range from rb?
02:22:11top_blokewell today is 04
02:22:16top_blokenot really sure
02:22:24top_blokewhere it starts or ends
02:22:41BC|Codeneed to know that, guess sunday==0, sat==6
02:22:50top_blokeyeah thats what i assume

02:23:17BC|Codegiven that assumption...
02:23:18top_blokei can just go if(wday == 0) {day = "Sun"}
02:23:44top_blokeelse if(wday == 1) {day = "mon"} and so on
02:23:52top_blokebut is there an easier way?
02:24:14top_blokealso gonna do it for months
02:24:16BC|Codeyes... but you have to give me time to type it in ;)
02:24:30top_bloketyep what?
02:24:36BC|Codelol
02:24:38top_blokeok sorry
02:24:40top_blokei wait
02:24:43BC|Codedid you want some example code?
02:24:50BC|Codeor an explanation?
02:24:52top_blokeyeah sorry
02:24:57top_blokeboth?
02:25:06top_blokeexample better
02:25:08BC|Codethen let me give you some code to explain ;)
02:25:17top_blokelol ok
02:25:18BC|Codeone other...
02:25:33BC|Codeis it okay if the day name is returned with spaces on the end?

02:26:51top_blokebtw the centering thing was either right all along or the lcd_update(); fixed it
02:27:05top_blokecause it works now
02:27:12BC|Codelol
02:27:19BC|Codehate it when that happens
02:27:29BC|Code"But WHAT did I do???" lol
02:28:03top_blokelol it was one of the 2
02:28:25BC|Codesorry, trying to discover which string functions we have in rockbox....
02:29:13kurzhaarrockerall these lcd_puts functions and so on write into a buffer. No data is written to the lcd at that moment. lcd_update transfers that data to the lcd. Thus without lcd_update you don't see what you wrote.
02:29:46top_blokethis part of the loop in f2 menu though
02:30:03top_blokeit does lcd_update(); later
02:30:07top_blokei dunno
02:30:36kurzhaarrockerAnd if you comment out that lcd_update line you won't see the f2 menu either. Though still it works
02:30:52top_blokewhat do u mean works?
02:31:17top_blokeit wont show right
02:31:21kurzhaarrockeryou just don't see the text, everything else is the same.
02:31:26top_blokeok
02:31:34BC|Codechar sDay[10];
02:31:34BC|Codeint iDay;
02:31:34BC|Codestrncpy(sDay,"sunday monday tuesday wednesdaythursday friday saturday "[iDay*9],9);
02:31:56top_blokewoah looks complicated
02:32:09BC|CodesDay is somewhere to store the resutl
02:32:12kurzhaarrockersecond parameter of strncpy must be a size, I think
02:32:21BC|CodeiDay is the 0...6
02:32:29BC|Code"days" is a string of days
02:32:44BC|Code[] say where to start
02:32:59BC|Code0*9==0 ...so for sunday start at position 0 in the string
02:33:09BC|Code1*9==9 ...
02:33:26BC|Codethe final ",9)" is the length of a word
02:33:35top_blokethink this is too advanced for me
02:33:36BC|Codein fact both 9's are the length
02:33:41top_blokeso what do i do with that then?
02:33:58BC|Codetake the long line of code
02:34:18BC|Codereplace "iDay" with whatever variable you currently store the day number in
02:34:23top_blokeohhhhh
02:34:24top_blokeok
02:34:42top_blokeand whats the name of the string that it puts the day in?
02:34:42BC|Codeand replace sDay with the String into which you want the result placed

02:35:01ely78373can someione help me
02:35:20top_blokei think
02:35:28BC|Codeyou can, if you like, replcae "iDay" with "rb->getday()"
02:35:43BC|Code(or whatever the function is called)
02:35:50top_blokei have it put that in wday
02:36:02ely78373i have the rec 15
02:36:07ely78373and the videos r workin
02:36:09kurzhaarrockerIs there a difference to
02:36:09kurzhaarrockerchar *sDay[] = {"Sun", "Mon", "Tue"}; /* and so on */
02:36:11BC|Codeso you have wday = getday() ??
02:36:11ely78373i just cant hear any sound
02:36:12kurzhaarrocker?
02:36:22top_bloke int wday = tm->tm_wday;
02:36:43BC|Codeor, if you prefer you can do it The way that Kurz will now explain
02:36:48kurzhaarrockerely78373: me too
02:37:00top_bloketheres no sound in vids
02:37:04top_blokeyet
02:37:04BC|Codethere are precisely 703,492 different ways to do this - lol
02:37:20top_blokei'll go w your way right now

02:37:42ely78373when will there be sounds
02:38:11kurzhaarrockerely78373 I have no idea.
02:38:22ely78373dasmn
02:38:38ely78373well i hope whoever came up with thsi video thing will find a way to get sounds on it
02:38:56ely78373also is it possible that i can change my greyscale screen and get a color screen
02:39:24kurzhaarrockerVery unlikely, as that would require heavy hardware mods, too.
02:39:42ely78373damn
02:39:50ely78373cause the vidz aint that good
02:39:53ely78373quality
02:39:56ely78373with grey scale
02:40:08kurzhaarrockerwhat do you expect. Its a music device, not a video recorder.
02:40:16ely78373i guess but still
02:40:24ely78373sound there should be
02:40:33ely78373when did this vidz thing come out
02:41:26kurzhaarrockerI consider it very likely that there will be sound with video somewhen.
02:41:35ely78373i hope so

03:22:29top_blokethanks a lot BC and kurzhaarrocker
03:22:35BC|Code;)
03:22:36kurzhaarrockertop_bloke are you coding a plugin?

03:22:51kurzhaarrockerok
03:23:05top_blokeon top theres room
03:23:06BC|Codewhat is the "f2 screen"?
03:23:13top_blokewhen u hit f2?
03:23:37BC|Codeyou mean the three shortcuts thing?
03:23:45kurzhaarrockerbut on a f2 screen internationalization would be desirable.
03:24:16top_blokethe middle button under the lcd
03:24:16top_blokeor r u kidding
03:24:16kurzhaarrockerBC|Code yes. Its in apps/screens.c
03:24:40top_blokewell doesnt everyone understand mon, tues
03:24:51BC|Codehee hee :)
03:24:59top_blokeif not
03:25:02top_blokethey SHOULD
03:25:04top_blokenah j/k
03:25:43kurzhaarrockerThere are already internationalized 3 letter week days in the .lang files.
03:25:45top_blokeif i recall, the setting screen for date has no international support
03:25:45top_blokeand day of week
03:25:55kurzhaarrocker-> hardly no work to internationalize
03:25:55top_blokethere are?
03:26:22kurzhaarrockersee english.lang , so around line 900
03:26:47top_blokedoes the stting screen use em?
03:27:43kurzhaarrockerIts used in settings.c
03:28:36top_blokeok
03:28:36top_blokei tried to stal that code
03:28:37top_blokethat sets the date
03:29:41kurzhaarrockerwhat went wrong when you tried to steal that code?
03:29:47top_blokelol
03:29:49top_blokei dunno
03:29:56top_blokei couldnt understand it
03:29:57BC|Codelol
03:31:09top_blokeoh they DO use LANG_WEEKDAY_SUNDAY,
03:31:25top_blokei dunno what i was looking at before then
03:31:45kurzhaarrockerdo you need those daynames in a local variable within a function or is it a module variable outside of any functions?
03:32:08top_blokei didnt get a word of that
03:32:20top_blokelol sorry
03:32:39kurzhaarrockeryour sDay variable - is that declared within a function?
03:32:49top_blokeyeah
03:33:43kurzhaarrockercool. Then you could make it like this:
03:33:43kurzhaarrockerchar *sDay = {str(LANG_WEEKDAY_SUNDAY), str(LANG_WEEKDAY_MONDAY), ...};
03:33:57kurzhaarrockersorry: char *sDay[] of course
03:34:16top_blokeand keep everything the same?
03:34:44kurzhaarrockerWell maybe you should make sDay sday, or Zagor will slay you.
03:34:51top_blokeoh
03:35:07top_blokeright away sir
03:35:38top_blokegod text pad is starting to bug me to register
03:35:41kurzhaarrockerwell, no, when you later want to have the string for monday you'd write sday[1]
03:36:14top_blokewell i dont know what to write
03:36:26top_blokecause wday tells it what to write
03:36:31BC|Codeyou could look at the code i just sent you ...just an idea?
03:36:41kurzhaarrockerthen its sday[wday]
03:36:51top_blokeeven more comlicated eh
03:36:56top_blokecomplicated
03:37:19top_blokemore code
03:37:21BC|Codeyeah you got to cut and paste MUCH more this time
03:37:29top_blokelol
03:37:53top_blokeAND the same thing for date
03:37:57kurzhaarrockerBut with the internationalizattion that strncpy approach doesn't work any more.
03:38:11top_blokei'll make screens.c twice the size!
03:38:25top_blokemonth that is
03:38:29top_blokeby date i mean month
03:38:44BC|CodeLMAO -no sympath from the man who's just written 2500 lines of new code for the audio control

03:39:41BC|Codeyes for rockbox
03:39:51top_blokeyay
03:39:56kurzhaarrockerAnd to be honest: the lack of a _good_ sound menu is a major drawback compared with the original firmware.

03:43:23kurzhaarrockertop_bloke are you talking about a scrollbar for the whole page?
03:44:03top_blokeno the sliders
03:44:15top_blokemake them scroll by if the user has a huge font
03:44:22top_blokebut that seems stupid now
03:45:25BC|Codebak
03:45:52top_blokeyeah so do the sliders
03:45:54kurzhaarrockerBC|Code: do you run in problems with the height or the width of the screen with the system font?
03:46:03BC|Codeyes
03:47:01kurzhaarrocker?
03:47:21BC|Codeit was a choice! height
03:48:09BC|Codewidth is PROBABLY okay
03:48:30kurzhaarrockerok. Just for a moment I had the vision of many scrolling text thingies on a sound setting screen. It was a nightmare.
03:48:49top_blokeonly the one youre on would scroll
03:48:54BC|CodeTHERE IS ******NO********* SCROLLING
03:48:59top_blokeoh?
03:49:07top_blokehow will u fit?
03:49:08kurzhaarrockerBC|Code: uff
03:49:16top_blokewith big fonts
03:49:36BC|Codethere is currently no font support
03:49:45top_blokeok good
03:50:33top_blokeis it a problem is moth starts with 1?
03:50:54kurzhaarrockerI'm so thrilled. I can hardly wait for the next band practice session when I can test the recording trigger and prerecording in real life!
03:51:12top_blokeyou record with archos?
03:51:34kurzhaarrockertop_bloke: That's what I'd expect
03:51:34kurzhaarrockertop_bloke: yes, of course. That's why I bought it.
03:52:01top_blokei guess ill make a new int and -1 from mon
03:52:28top_blokeu rec on line in?
03:52:36kurzhaarrockeryes
03:52:52top_blokewhat u mean by recordin trigger?
03:52:55kurzhaarrockerI have a self made microphone preamp
03:53:33kurzhaarrockerrecording trigger = it starts recording automatically when a volume level is exceeded and stops the recording when there is silence.
03:53:42top_blokeis that in rockbox
03:53:50top_blokei just thought of that when u said it
03:53:54top_blokelike in wavelab
03:54:05kurzhaarrockernot yet, I just uploaded that patch yesterday
03:54:14top_blokedefinitely a nice feature
03:54:23top_blokecan u set on/off levels?
03:54:24 Quit scott666 (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
03:54:27BC|Codehow about FFWD during record breaks the track?
03:54:48top_blokedoesnt play do that?
03:54:50kurzhaarrockerffwd while recording? Into the future?
03:54:55BC|Codenot when i last tried it
03:55:05top_blokeyea i dont know dont record much
03:55:30top_blokei play in a band too but record on the drummers pc
03:55:41top_blokenever thought about the archos
03:56:09kurzhaarrockeryes, for real recordings we use a pc, too. Just for reherasal and as an acustical notepad thats to much hazzle.
03:56:18top_blokeoh ok
03:56:53top_blokecould just use built in mic if u dont care about quality
03:57:21kurzhaarrockerYes, but the hazzle to plug in the mic preamp is bearable to me.
03:57:33top_blokecan i snprintf multiple strings in one?
03:57:39top_blokein one snprintf
03:58:05kurzhaarrockeryes with snprintf(buf, sizeof buf, "%s %s %s", s1, s2, s3);
03:58:07BC|Codesnprintf ( destination, "%s %s %s", string1, string2, string 3);
03:58:16top_blokeok thanks
03:58:18top_blokeboth
03:58:29BC|Codei forgot sizeof()
03:58:43BC|Codemine was actually a sprintf()
03:59:11kurzhaarrockerand both of us put in spaces between the strings
03:59:36BC|Codelol
03:59:36top_blokeoh and im gonna need some ints in there too
03:59:42top_blokebut i think i can handle it
03:59:42BC|Code%d
03:59:58top_blokewhats %2d?
04:00
04:00:03BC|Code2 chars long
04:00:14BC|Code%-2d is two chars long left justified
04:00:31BC|Code%02d is 2 chars long zero padded
04:00:34top_blokecan i use %d if my int CAN be 2 chars?
04:00:40kurzhaarrockerI didn't know that.
04:00:50BC|Codeyes, the number is the MINIMUM
04:00:56top_blokeoh
04:00:57top_blokeok
04:01:05BC|Codeif you exceeed this count, then the string will expand accordingly
04:01:09kurzhaarrockerBC|Code: what was the tag for hexadecimal output?
04:01:21BC|Code%x or %X
04:01:37kurzhaarrockerfor lower / uppercase ?
04:01:40BC|Codeyes

04:09:08kurzhaarrockerStevenm: I work on cygwin
04:09:26Stevenmkurzhaarrocker: How did you get GCC to compile ??
04:10:52kurzhaarrockergcc was not the problem, the sh1 and mig compiler were. But that was more than a year ago and I don't know anything about those troubles any more.
04:11:04Stevenmall right
04:11:30Stevenmdoes anyone know where I can get a pre-compiled package of the development kit for the nix platform?
04:11:53kurzhaarrockerI think in the end I found all info that was neccessary on http://rockbox.haxx.se/docs/
04:12:21kurzhaarrockerIf there is no link to a precompiled dev kit I don't know any other sources.

06:30:05BC|Codealso no
06:30:13BC|Codewith EAC it is even more painful
06:30:20BC|Codeabout 35mins/album
06:30:28arspy87wow, why so long?
06:30:37BC|Codeperfect rips
06:31:00arspy87and i thought 5 minutes was painful
06:31:18BC|Codespell checking freedb is also a pain
06:31:38BC|Codethen i get an album cover and add catalog numbers to the id3
06:31:53BC|Codeadd artist home page etc. etc.

06:32:31BC|Codesome "best of" tracks are the same, some are complete remixes

06:52:52BC|Codeit's getting that way isn't it? lol
06:53:17arspy87lol yeah
06:53:20BC|CodeI'm doing a maths bit atm - i am USELESS at math
06:53:31arspy87i used to be good in math
06:53:47arspy87until precalculus arrived on the scene
06:54:34BC|Codei need to represent 0...524288 in terms of 0..1 given a resolution of 3 decimal places
06:55:02BC|Codewithout ever using a decimal point
06:55:14BC|Codethus my result is 0...1000
06:55:24BC|Code1000 being 1.000 == 524288
06:55:44arspy87ah, got it (i think)
06:55:51BC|Codeplease do :)
06:56:15arspy87i don't think i'll ever understand C, i cant even get javascript ;)
06:56:34BC|Codeforget C ...what's the math?
06:57:07arspy87−−-thinking−−-
06:57:53arspy87524288... is that something in base-2?
06:58:20BC|Codethe full problem is a 20bit 2's complement number ...but I didn't want to scare you
06:58:42BC|Code524288 should be represented by the variable "max"
06:59:10arspy87ok... already scared but doing best to comprehend
06:59:29BC|Codedon't worry about the source of the number ...just trust it
06:59:36arspy87ok
07:00
07:00:01arspy87im getting my calculator for this
07:00:45arspy87well 524288 is really 2^19
07:02:09BC|Codeyou know - i think you're onto something
07:02:24arspy87possibly, im getting my C book right now
07:02:57BC|Codeno, I just joined your insanity for a moment
07:03:12arspy87oh, lol
07:03:30arspy87when you say 0..1 what dot he '.'s mean?
07:03:41BC|Codethe 20th bit is the sign!!
07:03:57BC|Code0.000 to 1.000
07:04:16BC|Codea resolution of 3 decimal places
07:04:17arspy87ah ok
07:04:58BC|Codebut as you CANNOT have decimal places... the result must be expressed as 0 to 1000
07:05:35BC|Codethen i will "draw a dot" in the right place as I print it
07:05:59arspy87ok so you need to represent 524288 wihtout using decimal place? or... 0...524288?
07:06:08arspy87= dumb
07:06:54BC|Code0 = 0 1 = 524 2 = 1048 ...... 1000 = 524288
07:07:10arspy87AHA! now i see
07:07:38BC|Codeactually 2 = 1049
07:07:48arspy87um, why?
07:07:56arspy87round off error?
07:08:17BC|Code524.288 = 524 1048.576 = 1049
07:08:41BC|Codealthough that really isn't the biggest issue
07:08:45arspy87oh... ok now i get it. makes sense now...
07:09:49BC|Codeit's a dumb 30 char expression ...i'm just useless at math!
07:10:36BC|Codetook me christ know how long to get hex = (524288*decimal)/1000
07:10:45BC|Code(which is the problem in reverse)
07:11:27arspy87nah actually i dont get it either lol
07:11:58BC|Codeoh well
07:12:20arspy87sorry
07:12:49arspy87why must C make it so difficult to use a simple decimal point....
07:12:56BC|Codeit doesn't
07:15:49BC|Codethis is NOT a "C" issue
07:19:00BC|CodeI THINK I've got it!
07:19:15BC|Codedec = (((value*(1000*1000))/0x80000)+500)/1000;
07:21:15BC|Codewhich is all very good apart from the overflow condition that occurs
07:26:55BC|Codeor even ....dec = (value*1000)/0x80000;
07:30:22arspy87aha
07:31:12BC|Codei knew it would be simple
07:33:59arspy870x80000?
07:34:05BC|Code524288
07:34:11arspy87ah
07:34:45arspy87so some random amount of zeroes followed by 80000 equals 524288?
07:35:00arspy87wait that doesnt make sense im probably wrong
07:35:32BC|Code$0000000000000000000000080000 == $00000080000 == $80000 = 524288d
07:36:00arspy87AH YES
07:36:01arspy87you got it yay
07:36:08arspy87just figured it out

11:02:58c0uttahow do i get a compile ?
11:03:00dwihnoYou need the tools.tar.bz2 as well
11:03:31kurzhaarrockerextract your tarball somewhere in your home directory of cygwin

11:08:53couttai want to create a stock standard rockbox environment to program within
11:09:17couttai'm very familiar with DOS, but know jacksh*t about linux, or cygwin
11:09:28dwihnoWell, the cygwin environment works extraordinary well.
11:09:50dwihnoBut you can't have many simultaneous cygwin environments - it's bound to give you problems.
11:10:03couttais this as easy as a "delete"
11:10:17dwihnothere is some kind of registry key you have to erase as well

11:26:23c0uttathe registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin
11:29:19c0uttai need to ask some basic questions.
11:29:43c0uttawhen using cygwin, it seems to default to home/rockbox. is this correct ?
11:29:46kurzhaarrockerI don't know much about basic :)
11:30:24kurzhaarrockerprobably your installation assumes that you are user "rockbox"
11:30:50c0uttaaha. my unix lectures from 1989 are coming back to me
11:31:00kurzhaarrockerBut it is correct that cygwin defaults to your user directory
11:31:45c0uttaunder home/rockbox is where thew rockbox directory tree is stored ?
11:31:56kurzhaarrockeryes
11:31:59c0uttaapps, docs, firmware & tools

11:35:29[IDC]Dragon'morning Phil, up again?
11:35:51kurzhaarrocker[IDC]Dragon yes, my uptime is somehow random.
11:36:08[IDC]Dragonyou must be living alone
11:36:17kurzhaarrockerin fact
11:36:41[IDC]Dragoncongrats to your split editor!
11:36:49[IDC]Dragonlooks pretty nice
11:36:59[IDC]Dragonwhat a pity that I don't record
11:37:12kurzhaarrockerThank you.
11:37:19[IDC]Dragondoes it depend on your patch?
11:37:55kurzhaarrockerThe split editor is independent of the triggered recording patch
11:38:25[IDC]Dragonare you done with it, source released?
11:38:30kurzhaarrockerBut there are still improvements to be made. It doesn't split on frame boundaries yet.
11:38:36[IDC]Dragon(I could check it in)
11:38:46[IDC]DragonOK, let's wait.
11:39:14kurzhaarrockerThat might be long as I won't have that much time within the next few weeks.
11:39:29kurzhaarrockerIf you want to commit it as it is I can upload a patch.
11:39:45[IDC]Dragonwhatever you feel comfy with
11:40:13[IDC]Dragonhow do you mean "It doesn't split on frame boundaries yet"?
11:40:21[IDC]Dragonwhat els?
11:40:27[IDC]Dragonelse
11:40:49[IDC]Dragonjust somewhere in the file?
11:40:54kurzhaarrockeryes
11:41:03[IDC]Dragonah, hm.
11:41:27[IDC]Dragonit's not difficult to search for frame boundaries.
11:41:35c0uttathanks phil. i have a ajbrec.ajz
11:41:41kurzhaarrockerI've seen some routines in mp3data
11:42:48kurzhaarrockerc0utta you're welcome. Now make many new good features. We must commit things to make the "recent cvs activity" page look right again! :)
11:43:03[IDC]Dragon;)
11:44:31[IDC]Dragonno mpeg buffer commit so soon...
11:44:40c0uttaha! i'm going to start work on the F2/F3 menu stuff
11:44:55[IDC]DragonI woke up without _the_ big solves-it-all idea
11:45:04kurzhaarrocker[IDC]Dragon the problem with detecting frame boundaries in the split editor is that I'd have to do it on the mp3 buffer. And I haven't found out yet how to calculate the mpeg buffer position from the file position and vica versa
11:45:22c0uttamy next question is...the simulator
11:45:46[IDC]DragonI don't understand...
11:45:57[IDC]DragonThe plugin has no access to mp3 buffer
11:46:14[IDC]Dragonaren't you working solely on file level?
11:46:28[IDC]Dragonand if you write the file, it's in your hands
11:47:43kurzhaarrockerI in fact had to wrap and export some mpeg.c code for determining the file position in a function and put it into the plugin api.
11:48:05[IDC]Dragonah, so the plugin is not independent
11:48:19kurzhaarrockerno, I had to extend the api in many ways
11:48:59[IDC]Dragonthen I won't commit it now
11:49:09kurzhaarrocker:)
11:50:21[IDC]DragonMY picture about the mp3 buffering is a bit clearer
11:50:48[IDC]Dragonwe don't need to stuff everything into descriptors right away
11:51:06[IDC]Dragonthe source could maintain the old-fashioned ring buffer
11:51:21[IDC]Dragonand just create descriptors on the fly
11:51:35kurzhaarrocker(one thing I wondered about: It's still the task of the drain to bitswap)
11:51:44[IDC]DragonI think we need 3 minimum:
11:51:54[IDC]Dragon1) being played
11:52:08[IDC]Dragon2) ready and sitting there to be used
11:52:22[IDC]Dragon3) subject of current work: bitswap, etc.
11:52:58[IDC]Dragonthe bitswap is a real drawback, if I ever want to play that data again
11:53:31kurzhaarrockerthe descriptor could contain a flag 'bitswapped'
11:53:33[IDC]Dragonwould be great if we could avoid it
11:54:01[IDC]Dragonyes, I was definitely thinking about such type info
11:54:16[IDC]Dragonbut it doesn't really help later
11:54:29[IDC]Dragonif we want to scan

11:54:48[IDC]DragonHi Mats!
11:54:51kurzhaarrockermaybe we'll need frame detection algos for swapped _and_ unswapped data
11:54:55Strathhello
11:55:16kurzhaarrockerHi from here, too
11:55:17[IDC]Dragonwe always think the same
11:55:50[IDC]DragonIf we bitswap early, we could do all the parsing on the swapped data
11:56:08[IDC]Dragonbut its probable a PITA
11:56:24kurzhaarrockerPITA? Food?
11:56:34[IDC]Dragonthe opposite
11:56:47[IDC]DragonPain In The A**
11:56:48kurzhaarrockerok, understood
11:57:35[IDC]DragonArchos seems to do the same kind of swap
11:57:46[IDC]DragonI found the table intheir software
11:58:41[IDC]Dragonanother issue when not everything is linked into descriptors:
11:58:57[IDC]Dragonhow can we "inject" mp3 data
11:59:23[IDC]Dragonif we want UI voice inbetween
11:59:44kurzhaarrockerThe drain must be interruptable. But that's a problem with half bitswapped data chunks
12:00
12:00:25[IDC]Dragonnot if we bitswap early
12:00:49kurzhaarrockeryou mean when reading files?
12:01:09[IDC]Dragonyes, when reading anything but ID info
12:02:08kurzhaarrockerhm. I'm not sure but I think there was a discussion about that before. One point against it was that that this may increase the disk uptime -> wastes energy.
12:02:31***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
12:03:00[IDC]Dragonyou can do it after reading your big chunk
12:03:21[IDC]Dragonbut before passing anything down, or other work with the data
12:03:27kurzhaarrockeryes
12:04:13kurzhaarrockerBut if we want to start playing early that means that we start playback before the entire data has been bitswapped.
12:04:58kurzhaarrockerBut that again could be a matter of sizing the descriptors.
12:05:01[IDC]Dragondarn!
12:05:28[IDC]Dragonprobably we also start before the entire data has been read
12:05:58[IDC]Dragonor at least, it would be nice.
12:06:04kurzhaarrockerLike the first chunk is just long enough to give the source time to bitswap the 2nd , the large chunk.
12:07:02kurzhaarrockerSo while the 1st chunk is being played the swapper hast time for the 2nd chunk
12:07:49[IDC]Dragonwhich brings us backto 2 pointers, one for swapped and another for unswapped data
12:08:10[IDC]Dragonno big drawback
12:08:13kurzhaarrockerwith the difference that the pointers are wrapped in descriptors.
12:08:47kurzhaarrockerENCAPSULATE! JEHOVA! JEHOVA!
12:08:50[IDC]Dragonnot necessarily, the descriptors are just for the management in the sink.
12:09:09[IDC]Dragonthe source is free to do whatever in private.
12:09:28kurzhaarrockerok
12:09:48[IDC]Dragondescriptors are the interface
12:10:40kurzhaarrockeronly data that is 'described' is locked
12:11:11[IDC]Dragononly data in the descriptor passed down is locked
12:11:29[IDC]Dragonuntil a callback function in there is called to return it
12:11:56kurzhaarrocker:) a fine but not so minor difference
12:12:37[IDC]Dragonwhich is?
12:13:11kurzhaarrockerthat you are free to discard the othewise 'described' data at will
12:13:57[IDC]Dragonahem, so?
12:15:17kurzhaarrockerah, forget it.
12:18:36kurzhaarrockerAssume the user wants to beep while playback. The drain is playing back in the middle of a large descriptor. How does it work? The source clears the descriptor queue, inserts the beep descriptor in the descriptor queue, sends the drain a stop (which returns the current position), the drain frees the old big chunk descriptor, the source uses that current position to create a new descriptor from the existent buffer data and inserts that into the d
12:19:28[IDC]Dragonbrr
12:19:47[IDC]DragonI'd like to make that independent from the source, if possible
12:20:00[IDC]Dragonso the source doesn't notice
12:20:03 Join methangas [0] (methangas@0x50c61de4.virnxx10.adsl-dhcp.tele.dk)
12:20:07kurzhaarrockerbut how do we know where to resume after beep?
12:20:20kurzhaarrockerAh, that's a task of the drain
12:20:33[IDC]DragonI was thinking about making these descriptors relatively small
12:20:42[IDC]Dragonso you chain in your data
12:20:57[IDC]Dragonand have a latency of one descriptor payload
12:21:34[IDC]Dragonbut pausing the current would even be more elegant
12:21:49c0uttadwihno: do u use the simulator ?
12:21:59kurzhaarrockermany small descriptors would increas cpu use.
12:22:14[IDC]Dragonwhich is not too bad
12:22:22kurzhaarrockerc0utta yes, but I can't really debug within it.
12:22:38[IDC]Dragonif we just switch a desciptor a few times per second, that's nothing.
12:23:00[IDC]Dragoncurrently, data is passed in 8k blocks to the DMA
12:23:07c0uttakurzhaarrocker: didn't want to disturb you and [IDC]Dragon
12:23:19c0uttayou're both going over me head
12:23:21[IDC]Dragonso the software has to switch that anyway
12:23:25c0uttame=my
12:23:30kurzhaarrocker[IDC]Dragon: you're right.

12:24:26[IDC]Dragonhalf a second at 128kBit
12:25:03kurzhaarrockerThat's on the edge of being problematic for acustical feedback.
12:26:12[IDC]Dragonwell, then make it 4K or whatever
12:27:09[IDC]Dragonwe can't be faster than one DMA buffer, have to let that pass, I think
12:27:47[IDC]Dragonbut you're right, it would be better if this doesn't depend on the chunks provided by the source
12:28:04[IDC]Dragonwhich brings back the side channel
12:28:36[IDC]Dragonso the sink has an extra functional interface to accept side data
12:28:39kurzhaarrockerand that could be managed by the drain, the source wouldn't even notice
12:28:58[IDC]Dragonto be inserted after the current DMA block
12:29:03[IDC]Dragonright.
12:29:14kurzhaarrockerproblem: -> we keep track of the elapsed time manually. Makes this complicated
12:29:31[IDC]Dragonwhat do you mena by "manually"?
12:29:35[IDC]Dragonmean
12:29:52[IDC]Dragonthe track is "stopwatched"?
12:30:01kurzhaarrockerThere's a timer that de facto is unsynchronized with the mas
12:30:09[IDC]Dragonhmm
12:30:27[IDC]Dragonwho's maintaining that?
12:30:35kurzhaarrockersomewhere in mpeg.c
12:30:45[IDC]DragonIf we put it to the sink, it could correct the value
12:31:23kurzhaarrockerbut the sink doesn't even know by which source it's fed.
12:31:44kurzhaarrockerAnd it knows even less about the song that is being played.
12:31:57[IDC]Dragonif it has this sideband interface, it could exclude the time for playing that.
12:32:08kurzhaarrockeryes, I see.
12:32:19[IDC]DragonYes, it won't know about songs.
12:32:48[IDC]DragonBut it could provide a clock for the main data playtime.
12:35:10kurzhaarrockerIf it is up to the drain to manage that side channel I don't see a real reason why it shouldn't interrupt even in the middle of a dma chunk.
12:35:34[IDC]Dragondunno if that's technically possible
12:36:15kurzhaarrockerIn worst case the mas must be reset.
12:36:32kurzhaarrockerBut I'm talking about things I don't really know here.
12:36:46[IDC]Dragonso do I
12:37:17kurzhaarrockerI remember there were functions to start /stop dma transfer.
12:40:57kurzhaarrockerI must work for money now. See you later...
12:41:39[IDC]DragonOK, thaks.
12:41:42 Quit kurzhaarrocker ("Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com)")
12:41:43[IDC]Dragonthanks
12:43:39c0uttacan i ask simulator questions now ?
12:44:04[IDC]Dragonshure, any time
12:46:06c0uttato use the simulator, do you run configure to make another make file and select S for simulator ?
12:46:16c0uttado you then do the make from build-dir ?
12:46:27[IDC]Dragonfor which platform?
12:46:41c0uttawin32. i'm running cygwin
12:46:52[IDC]DragonOK.
12:47:12[IDC]Dragonwhich compiler?
12:47:50c0uttai assume it's gcc
12:48:05c0uttai'm new to this type of environment!
12:48:06Strathlater guy....time for sleep
12:48:12 Quit Strath ("User pushed the X - because it's Xtra, baby")
12:48:31[IDC]Dragonyou use gcc to build for the target (SH CPU)
12:48:49[IDC]Dragonbut for the simulator you need a Win32 compiler
12:49:04[IDC]Dragonto make a Windows program out of it
12:52:14uski[IDC]Dragon: hi
12:52:19c0uttais this gcc-mingw ?
12:52:27[IDC]Dragon'morning!
12:52:38[IDC]Dragonc0utta: for example, yes.
12:52:49[IDC]DragonI used MS Developer Studio

13:02:24 Join edx [0] (edx@pD9EAA791.dip.t-dialin.net)
13:10:49c0uttai seem to have all the required components, but can't seem to get a make
13:11:16c0uttado i use the same source, in \home\rockbox ?
13:11:27c0uttaor do i need another copy just for the simulator ?
13:12:01[IDC]DragonI don't know about MinG
13:13:00c0uttai don't have ms developer studio, so that's not an option. sounds easier tho!
13:15:00c0uttai was working with bluechip to setup my environment. i'll wait until he's had a sleep and is back online.
13:15:31[IDC]Dragondid you try to just use make in the sim dir?
13:16:01 Join Laurent_ [0] (~laurent@dyn-81-166-218-46.ppp.tiscali.fr)
13:16:11Laurent_hello
13:16:21[IDC]Dragonhello
13:17:21c0uttayes, but it seems to be referring to the player, not the recorder and gives compile errors
13:17:45c0uttadon't be concerned. as i said, i'll wait for BC as i don't want to waste everyone's time
13:17:56[IDC]Dragonand if you create a make file in the build dir, with the sim options?
13:20:00c0uttamake errors
13:20:02c0uttamake[1]: *** No rule to make target `buffer.c', needed by `/home/rockbox/build-d
13:20:03c0uttair/.deps/buffer.d'. Stop.
13:20:52[IDC]Dragonhmm, I've never worked with that, sorry.
13:21:17c0uttai've used make, but under a dos environment. i don't feel comfortable yet
13:22:53c0uttai have other questions about submitting patches
13:23:19c0uttaif i was working on project, would i only submit the patch when i'm complete ?
13:23:31c0uttawhat if my project takes me 2 months to complete ?
13:23:53c0uttai'm concerned that cvs and my local copy will get out of sync
13:24:00[IDC]Dragonthen it takes 2 month til we have your patch
13:24:02c0uttaand then be difficult to merge
13:24:19[IDC]Dragonyou should make a patch against the most recent
13:24:55c0uttawhat it two people have made major changes to the same files ?
13:25:16[IDC]Dragonthen it becomes hairy
13:25:31[IDC]Dragonit's OK if the changes don't conflict
13:25:31c0uttai don't like hairy..
13:26:27[IDC]Dragonwhen you're done with your development, you should merge your changes with the latest source
13:26:34[IDC]Dragonthen make a patch from it
13:26:55[IDC]Dragonand clearly state the cvs version/date the patch is for
13:27:25c0uttais it a common practice to split a project into phases and incrementally submit patches ?
13:27:36c0uttato ensure that nothing's broken ?
13:29:24c0uttai sound weird, don;t i ?
13:29:41[IDC]Dragonnot really, what should a patch of something half-done be good for?
13:30:06[IDC]Dragonwhat major rework are you doing?
13:30:33c0uttai'll give you an example. i'm currently working on changes to F2/F3 functionality
13:31:16[IDC]Dragona very common thing to do
13:31:45c0uttai want to do the whole user-config F2/F3 that everyone seems to want
13:32:11c0uttafirstly, i want to insert my own functions as wrappers to the existing f2/f3 functionality
13:32:45c0uttawithin my wrapper i can then do my own coding within worrying about breaking anyone elses
13:41:05 Quit matsl (Remote closed the connection)
13:41:53c0uttaanyway jörg, i appreciate all the work you've done
13:42:31[IDC]Dragonthank you!
13:42:35c0uttathe flashing is excellent, particularly your attention to detail
13:42:49c0uttai can't believe the video either

13:43:40[IDC]Dragonyou haven't?

14:26:51[IDC]Dragonyes
14:27:03GuestCool... can I ask a question about Rockbox ?
14:27:26[IDC]DragonI guess that's what this channel is for
14:28:02Guest:) my first time... I have a Recorder model, and Rockbox is great... just I've run into a strange problem just now
14:28:27GuestI made a bunch of file folders to organize my mp3 files, but out of the 15 or so folders, only 3 or 4 show up
14:28:53GuestThey all show up on the computer when connected thru USB, but not only the Recorder itself
14:29:18GuestSo I can't access the folders and the songs inside to play them
14:29:56[IDC]Dragonhmm, strange indeed.
14:30:05[IDC]Dragonare they hidden?
14:30:05GuestTell me about it...
14:30:24[IDC]Dragondo you use F2: show all files?
14:30:27GuestOn the Recorder, there's no sign of the folders except the 3 that are visible (they were the first 3 I made)
14:30:32GuestYes!
14:30:41[IDC]Dragonscandisk?
14:30:50GuestI tried it too, but no difference
14:31:11[IDC]Dragonmaybe you found a bug in the file system
14:31:18[IDC]Dragontell Linus about it
14:31:18GuestSigh...
14:31:24GuestOK
14:31:50GuestThanks for trying :)
14:31:52[IDC]DragonCan there be anything special about them?
14:32:07GuestWell, the files that show up were made a few days ago, the others were all made today
14:32:07[IDC]DragonName too long, nesting too deep, whatever?
14:32:25GuestDoes the length of the file folder name make a difference?
14:32:37GuestBut it's strange, some folders' names ARE long, but others are quite short
14:32:42GuestAnd they all don't show up
14:32:47[IDC]Dragonnot really, unless it's ridiculously long
14:32:56Guesthmm
14:33:39GuestThanks :)
14:33:45 Quit Guest ("Leaving")
14:34:50c0uttajörg, maybe guests folders had extensions on them
14:35:11c0uttamaybe ACDC.123
14:35:22[IDC]Dragonwould that be harmful?
14:36:36c0uttawould they get filtered with "Show files" since the had extensions ?
14:37:32c0uttaif they had extensions ?

19:41:57diddystar5kurzhaarrocker: your patch is great!
19:42:11kurzhaarrockerThanks
19:42:21kurzhaarrockerBut there is still room for improvements.
19:42:58MiChAeLoLever get sound with the video working?
19:43:28kurzhaarrockerI assume somewhen that will happen.
19:43:54diddystar5that will be tricky to get the video+sound to sync
19:44:19diddystar5with the way the video slows down so much when sound buffer refills
19:44:21kurzhaarrockerI think the idea is to multiplex the video file.
19:44:57diddystar5i think if it just constantly loads sound like with the video it may work
19:45:02kurzhaarrockerI know that there was a discussion about storing all the settings in a config file instead of the rtc / superblock. Does anybody know wether something happened already?
19:45:31diddystar5i never saw anything on that disscusion
19:46:16diddystar5but i ignore many disscusion in the mail i get :)
19:46:42diddystar5i just pick the interesting topics
19:47:00kurzhaarrockerSo do I
19:47:44kurzhaarrockerdiddystar5 have you already _used_ that triggered recording?
19:48:05diddystar5kurzhaarrocker: no, but i looked at the code
19:48:35diddystar5i dont update my builds very often
19:48:42diddystar5usualy once a week
19:49:28kurzhaarrockerI try to update whenever something happened.
19:49:49diddystar5heh i used to do that, but it just got tired of it
19:50:17diddystar5i used to make really cool build with lots of patches and my custom boot logo, but i just got tired of it
19:50:54diddystar5and for the time, im sure lots of people would have liked to try them, they were very good builds
19:51:03diddystar5i should have realesed them
19:51:34kurzhaarrockerI had big trouble sometimes when I developed things and didn't update regularily. If it wasn't for keeping patches up to date I wouldn't update much either.
19:56:28diddystar5i wish windows would use the / instead of \, its easier for me to type with that, and its agrivating when you type the wrong one and cant figure out whats wrong
19:57:20kurzhaarrockerWhatever they use I wish it was the same in both environments.
20:00

20:14:48hardeepdiddystar5: maybe later?
20:14:59diddystar5hardeep: ok
20:15:01kurzhaarrockerLaurent_ what happened?
20:15:33diddystar5kurzhaarrocker: what do you mean by scaling in dB?
20:15:40Laurent_I am reading the Code of intellectual property in order to know if I can publish what i've found on the gmini
20:15:55kurzhaarrockerdiddystar5 db = logarithmic
20:15:58diddystar5kurzhaarrocker: n/m
20:16:34Laurent_and some conditions must be met first in order to be allowed to disassemble/decrypt the firmware as well as publish it
20:18:28Laurent_some are ok (the goal : interoperability with rockbox firmware, the right to use the firmware : i'm a legitimate user)
20:20:17Laurent_some are a bit restricting : publication of informations is allowed only to people who need it to work on the interoperability, this means that it can't be published on the list, only sent to individual developers working to have the rockbox firmware loaded on the gmini
20:21:41kurzhaarrockerLaurent_: a disclaimer doesn't so here?
20:21:46Laurent_but there are more subtle ones
20:22:34Laurent_The informations obtained (via disassembly) can't be used to design, produce, or commercialize a program which "does something" similar [to the disassembled one]
20:23:24diddystar5Laurent_: go to some small country with a laptop and report your findings :)
20:23:25Laurent_this point is the big problem
20:23:49Laurent_diddystar5: and I won't be able to come back to France before ten years have passed ;)
20:23:53diddystar5just make sure they have no laws on reverse ingineringh
20:24:13Laurent_and no extradition laws ;)
20:24:13diddystar5Laurent_: n/m then :)
20:25:54Laurent_so I guess I need a lawyer there
20:27:36Laurent_to make sure that rockbox would not be considered as "something similar"
20:27:49Laurent_anyone knows one ?

20:34:06midknight2k3hardeep: thanks!
20:34:53Laurent_and there's also the distinction between interoperability with the hardware and with the software : interoperability with the hardware is ok, but interoperability with the software is not so clear because rockbox does the same than the archos firmware

21:16:18midknight2k3less than a second
21:16:29Laurent_so that excuses you
21:16:30Laurent_:)
21:16:41midknight2k3:D
21:17:18Laurent_what pisses me off in this law problem, is that publication of informations is restricted even if getting those informations was trivial
21:18:02Laurent_what's the point of forbidding the publications of informations that everybody could find easily by himself ?
21:18:16midknight2k3it's idiotical
21:18:27Laurent_yup
21:18:50Laurent_I wonder if going to court would help create some jurisprudence on this point

21:25:40Laurent_Strath: the law is not unjust, it is somewhat not specific enough, building a jurisprudence around the points where it's not clear is a possible solution

21:35:01Strathmaybe he just likes 311?
21:35:13midknight2k3hes EVILL
21:35:51Laurent_Strath: then writing to your representative to tell him just that is a way to go :)
21:36:10Strathno but since the system is broken, i'm in favor of chucking it and starting over
21:37:03Strathunfortunatly, most of the population are fat ignorant sheep
21:37:31Laurent_the system is broken because people are too lazy just to do the simplest things, such as writing a letter, which gives full impunity to people who abuse it, your country is what you make it

21:38:23Strathi refuse to follow unjust laws
21:38:48Straththough i wont go out of my way to break them...
21:39:11Laurent_no problem, then use just ones that say there are representative with which people should talk to to express their desires
21:39:21Laurent_just = "the just"
21:40:24Laurent_before revoluting there a lot of middle choice alternatives that must be tried before, revolution is an extreme that must be used only when everything else has failed, at least that's my point
21:40:32Strathya... but in the meantime i should just abandon my projects?
21:41:00Strathif so, then they've already won
21:41:02Laurent_what are your projects ?
21:41:20Strathi was speaking hypotheticly
21:41:31Laurent_dont speak, act ;)
21:42:15Strath(besides ongoing reverse engineering projects, media protability projects etc )
21:42:53Strathand that is what i'm doing by continuing my projects reguardless of the law
21:43:10Strathactions not words
21:44:02Straththough bush/ashcroft have got to go
21:44:07Laurent_I think that being one sided is a bad thing, you should do both : use legal means to defend your rights, ie your vote, your representatives, support associations such as the EFF and ACLU and continue your projects
21:44:26Strathhey... i donate to EFF

21:53:29Strathreally?
21:53:49Strathwow, that would be dumb
21:54:07midknight2k3strath: who?
21:54:20Laurent_why would you protect a firmware ? laws protect it already
21:54:24Strathi sure wouldn't want somebody hacking my firmware!!!
21:54:57Strathso you think a simple xor would handle that?
21:55:17midknight2k3NO! CRC CHECKSUM!
21:55:26Laurent_an xor with a key the size of the firmware is unbreakable ;) but any other is crap ;)
21:55:52midknight2k3strath, wait
21:55:58Strathbut for the law to apply, i have to at least make a show of "effective control"
21:56:00midknight2k3you're going to make new firmware but not open source>
21:56:08midknight2k3?
21:57:05Strathshush midi
21:57:17Straththat just might work...
21:57:21midknight2k3grr
21:57:21Laurent_good question that ;)
21:58:03Strathwell... in these digital days, ya gotta watch your ass
21:58:21midknight2k3strath: not open source then? boo

22:00:07midknight2k3ah nm forget me
22:00:15Strathoh, hrm, you mean a key as large as the firmware? or a key being the length of the firmware?
22:00:50Laurent_hrm, let's make it clear : this is not a hint I'm giving you ;)
22:01:25Laurent_a xor key the length of the firmware would be unbreakable, hence the gmini does not use such one or I couldn't have broken it

22:03:04Laurent_if you want to disassemble the gmini firmware, that's simple : get an hexadecimal/ascii editor, you'll get the basic structure
22:03:25strathwell, i see it's a RIFF
22:04:02Laurent_to decrypt the firmware code you'll just need to watch for patterns in the code and a bit of logic, look diagonally

22:06:50strathheh
22:06:52Laurent_hey wait
22:06:59Laurent_that's legal
22:07:08strathreally?!?
22:07:31Laurent_yes, it's not a "similar" product, sofrench law allows it
22:07:35Laurent_without doubt
22:07:45strathsweet
22:08:30Laurent_rockbox **might** be illegal since it does the same than the original firmware, but a pda style software would be fully legal since it does not overlap with the original firmware
22:08:45Laurent_(all this in France)
22:09:36strathwhy? are there any other contries laws you are bound by?
22:09:53Laurent_in the USA, I think the DMCA allows full disassembly as for xbox linux
22:10:11strathso i'm fine as well
22:10:14Laurent_i'm only bound by french law and european one
22:11:02Laurent_european law sometimes supercedes local legislations but that's not the case yet in this domain
22:12:16Laurent_you're fine as long as your software does not offer features sold by archos as plugins
22:12:39Laurent_hrm
22:12:42straththats the intent..
22:13:32Laurent_this makes me think, rockbox might be fine in France on the gmini as long as it does not offer such features neither
22:13:58strathso, i'm not seeing this diagnal pattern of which was spoken
22:14:25Laurent_huh ? use a line width of 16 bytes

22:40:33[IDC]Dragonyes, I've seen that it has a DSP part
22:41:05strathah...
22:41:08Laurent_to which this ones links : http://altair.snu.ac.kr/newhome/en/research/research.htm#embed
22:41:26Laurent_that last one talks about gcc
22:41:50Laurent_only the AVxx series seem to have an ARM as CPU
22:41:53strathso, 17 bytes wide... thoughh the significance evades me
22:42:30Laurent_strath: it just means there are zeroes every 17 bytes in the firmware code
22:42:42Laurent_strath: no idea why though
22:43:25strathheh
22:43:29Laurent_perhaps is it an artifact of the object code
22:43:44strathso wild goose chase?
22:44:03Laurent_or they did insert one dummy byte every sixteen
22:44:39Laurent_the strings are somewhat cut when decrypted, which would support the last hypothesis
22:45:32[IDC]Dragonit only has USB1.1?
22:45:38strath2.0
22:45:58strathok, whats next?
22:46:06[IDC]Dragonthe Telechip datasheet said so
22:46:15[IDC]Dragonis there another chip?
22:46:50CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
22:46:50*uski ooh, interesting discussion :]
22:47:04Laurent_yes
22:47:06strathya..
22:47:22Laurent_http://www.smsc.com/main/catalog/usb97c202.html
22:47:27Laurent_which supports usb 2
22:48:46Laurent_there are probably other chips but they are under the battery and I haven't gotten my soldering iron back yet
22:48:57strath"bit of help" please.. :)
22:49:03Laurent_(the battery is soldered to the board)
22:49:33strathwhy don't i just open mine up then... i've already had it since wednesday...
22:50:10strath:)
22:50:52Laurent_strath: that's not so easy, you might break it, be extremely careful if you do so
22:51:02strathbah....
22:51:16Laurent_I bend three pins while doing it
22:51:20strathyou should see my ti-92 :P
22:51:35uskistrath: what dod you do to your poor TI ?
22:51:37strathi know...
22:51:40uskis/dod/did/g
22:52:10strathi read your descriptiuon, and do you know what a pain those large images are to a dialup user?
22:52:20strathi'll find a link
22:53:10strathtook wget two days to grab them.. :)
22:54:11midknight2k3:}
22:54:24straththat last link on the usb chip page might be interesting
22:54:46midknight2k3bluechip?

22:56:27Bluechipseperation is done, mdb is not even started
22:56:27Laurent_[IDC]Dragon: yup

22:57:08strathdamn that pdf is too big
22:57:42strathi'll have to download it later
22:57:57uskistrath: Images of modification i've made to my 92 to free a one meg block of address space for other uses..
22:58:03uski?? what are you doing this lol
22:58:18[IDC]Dragondownload here: http://www.mculand.com/sub3/CalmSHINE16_download.htm
22:58:30Laurent_[IDC]Dragon: I have it already
22:58:32straththat page is from around '97
22:58:37[IDC]DragonOK.
22:58:52Laurent_[IDC]Dragon: i think it's an error from them, it should not be public ;)
22:59:03[IDC]Dragondoes that give you a disasm?
22:59:07strathi've don't a bit more with is since, but havn't posted
22:59:09[IDC]DragonI think so, too
22:59:15[IDC]Dragonsome deep link
22:59:15Laurent_I don't think so, only an emulator and compiler
22:59:33[IDC]Dragonan emulator is nice
22:59:44strathi've seen those pages
22:59:45[IDC]Dragonshould be able to disassemble as well
22:59:51Laurent_[IDC]Dragon: yes but using it would be illegal
22:59:59[IDC]Dragon?
23:00
23:00:11strath(google found it for me)
23:00:44Laurent_even if it's an error from them to have put it on a publicly available page, using it without clear permission is illegal
23:01:00uskiLaurent_: im not sure about it
23:01:03[IDC]Dragondoes it say so?
23:01:08uski"if it isnot forbidden, it's allowed"
23:01:15[IDC]DragonIf it's freely avail
23:01:16uski...no ?
23:01:53Laurent_uski: no, you can't enter people's home even if it's not written anywhere on the walls that you can't ;)
23:01:58strathhell, even google knows where it is, "if it's linked from google, it's allowed" :P
23:02:06[IDC]Dragona simuloator helped me a lot for my flashing reverse engineering
23:02:27Laurent_sure, i'm not saying it's useless
23:02:36[IDC]Dragonby stepping through the boot ROM
23:02:38uskiLaurent_: im not sure the comparison is good, anyway im not a lawyer so...
23:02:41Laurent_i'm saying I wish to do the right thing ;)

23:11:16strathso, to save myself a buttload of time which specific files would be useful?
23:11:34Laurent_strath: for which purpose ?
23:11:55strathemu compile, etc understanding education
23:12:09strathtcc730 specific
23:12:37Laurent_I have no idea, I haven't tried them yet, I just finished decrypting the firmware this morning ;)
23:12:44strathheh
23:12:58strathok... well then what about mine
23:13:13Laurent_and it's probably not over yet since as I told you the strings are cut which means there might still be something to do
23:13:18strathcould i get "a bit of help"? :)
23:15:07Laurent_strath: of course, where were we ?
23:16:04strath1 byte pattern
23:16:09strather, 17
23:17:54strathand i asked about applying a "first byte xored with next sixteen" algorithm
23:18:53strathor is it rot13 encoded?
23:19:41uskiif the string seems to be garbled, perhaps there is a small algorithm that works on the lowest weight bits
23:19:59uskiso the characters will be in the "string" range, but will be wrong
23:21:09strathby "cut" i believe that he was refering to an extranious character within the string

23:26:08strathbut you can keep soldering practising until you are experianced (then buy a new device to replace melted one) :)
23:26:29uskiedx{code}: you might also try to find a garbled archos with a working cpu board
23:26:29_Laurentdo you still read me ?
23:26:35uski(with the correct flash chip)
23:26:42uskithen you could exchange the cpu boards

23:26:45strathyour duoble just dropped

23:28:34_Laurentyes

23:29:10_Laurentthen you can do the rest by yourself ;)
23:29:21straththe significance evades me though
23:29:29_Laurenta bit of explanation :

23:30:29 Quit oxygen77 ("ChatZilla 0.8.31 [Mozilla rv:1.4/7]")
23:30:32_Laurentwhen using a xor key, if there are zeroes in the data that you encrypt, those will reveal the xor key

23:30:52straththat was my next question
23:30:54strathheh
23:31:22strathdue to somethig you said eirlier, which just hit me
23:31:39Bluechipblocks of FF's will reveal the NOT xor key
23:32:07_Laurentyup
23:32:24strathbut if its not xor, then what is it? :P
23:32:37 Quit matsl (Remote closed the connection)
23:33:01strathhow stupid....
23:33:08strathdumbarses
23:33:44strathnalvrr..... hrm seems to repeat
23:33:44_Laurenteither dumb either helpful ;)
23:33:57_Laurentlet's give them a chance ;)
23:34:10Bluechipyou need to appreciate the legal ramificatons of break ANY encryption to understand why they did not waste time coming up with something complicated
23:34:44Bluechipbreaking*
23:35:30_Laurentbc : i'm not sure I understand what you meant, but they might have used an unbreakable encryption
23:35:31strathbut with the dmca, it states "effective"
23:35:41_Laurentbc: without much effort I mean
23:36:29straththough i understand that it's meant in the business legal sence, not techie
23:36:58strath(effectivly, bluechip is an eggplant)
23:37:09Bluechip!?
23:37:32_Laurentbc : ok I got what you said
23:37:33strathclarifiying the meaning of a word in the DMCA
23:38:13Bluechip"eggplant" ?? is that a compliment, a criticism, or an observation?
23:38:47_Laurentor a meal ?
23:38:49strathheh, only other active person...
23:39:00Bluechipeuphemism!
23:39:14strathfirst deragatory object that poped into my head
23:39:37Bluechipahh a criticism
23:39:42Bluechipnice one :)
23:39:44strathheh
23:39:50strathonly in jest
23:40:13Bluechipdid you know that the most tasty bit of the egg plant is under the stem because it is still growing?
23:40:30Bluechipalso the seeds can be a little bitter
23:40:33strathno, as a matter of fact, i did not
23:41:17_LaurentBluechip: let me rephrase what you said in order to make sure I understood it well
23:41:24strathdid you know that there is a patch of my lawn that grows really well, a few yards from the doghouse?
23:41:52_LaurentBluechip: you meant that Archos chosed a dumb encryption, because breaking an encryption is illegal under the DMCA ?
23:41:57Bluechiphmmmm, no, thank you :)
23:42:08strathyes...
23:42:20strathwell, sorta
23:42:25strathnot quite
23:42:49strathunder the dmca, rot13 qualifies as an effective protection
23:43:00Bluechip+1 is sufficient
23:43:20Bluechipafaik
23:43:28strathbasicly
23:43:38_Laurenthuh ?
23:43:39strathbut thats besides the point
23:43:41_Laurentthat's dumb
23:43:47strathand picking nits
23:43:58strathand just a bit pedantic
23:44:03_Laurentthen machine language is an encryption too that's stupid
23:44:13Bluechipand a waste of time!
23:44:40strathis the "copyrighted material" is the source code
23:45:08Bluechiponly lawyers may answer...
23:45:22strathbut reverse engineering still has exceptions, even from the DMCA
23:45:28strathno...
23:45:44strathlawers may answer, but the people will decide
23:45:48Bluechipwe just get on and do it in the UK
23:46:17strathi say just get on, and let time sort it out
23:46:22_Laurentstrath: ah, you're getting better ;) people decide by their votes and letters to their representatives
23:46:23Bluechipbut being on a small island we have less time
23:46:32straththis is whats refered to as the "chilling effect"
23:46:51_LaurentBluechip: do you know the web site for legal texts in the UK ?
23:46:58strath(i was just being vauge laury)
23:47:10strath:P
23:47:24BluechipNo, they are copyright material ...you must buy them

23:56:50strathno... i was stating a fact wbout the futility of XORing to hide something with a known format
23:57:20_Laurentyes, it's futile, I do agree
23:57:35Bluechipall encryption is crap if you know how to crack it ;)
23:57:40_Laurentxor can be a perfect encryption though
23:57:47_Laurentuncrackable
23:57:54strathi though we were just talking about how i could protect some data, and what to avoid
23:58:00Bluechipmake the key longer than the data
23:58:23Bluechipstrath: you want to WRITE some encryption??
23:58:58strathwell, yes, but the amount of overhead for an embeded device would be cost prohibitve
