#rockbox log for 2005-11-15

00:00:12XavierGrso to use e.g. 7 pointer chars, ok
00:00:16Bagderno
00:00:18Bagderuse one
00:00:25XavierGrbut
00:00:27amiconnWaaargh! who messed with the builds?
00:00:36]RowaN[is crossfeed not the same thing as stereo width?
00:00:40XavierGrthen the same problem applies
00:00:46BagderXavierGr: same as what?
00:01:02preglowmarkun: so i see
00:01:08XavierGrBagder: If there is only one string columns will still exceed 80.
00:01:23Bagderno
00:01:30Bagdernot if you do what I told you
00:01:45XavierGrwait a sec bevuase I got really confused.
00:01:49BagderI don't know what more I can say
00:01:50preglowmarkun: the generic version should be enabled for everything but coldfire, apparently
00:01:53_FireFly_markun : i have maybe found some better values for High-Pass filter
00:02:09preglow_FireFly_: if you did i'm willing to bet there's now too much bass

00:02:57XavierGrBagder as you can see this is the original
00:03:26XavierGrI know that I can substitute it with a *string but again IN the source the line will be more than 80 chars
00:03:28Bagderyes, now insert " " on 10 places
00:03:38_FireFly_preglow: if you want to try here are the new values:
00:03:42Bagderor rather " [newline] "
00:03:46_FireFly_#define HIGH_NEG 0xBBBBBBBCL
00:03:46_FireFly_#define HIGH_COMP 0x77777777L
00:03:56XavierGrah then I should break the " to change line?
00:04:18BagderXavierGr: for example, after each \n you stop the string with a "
00:04:25Bagderand add a new one to start the next line
00:04:31XavierGrok got it
00:05:13XavierGrI just didn't know that I could break the string just by terminating the " and start again with "
00:05:54Bagderthen you learned something
00:06:05XavierGrindeed thanks
00:06:30_FireFly_preglow: i didn't spoke about the bass :)

00:07:44]RowaN[is crossfeed different than stereo width?
00:08:48 Quit LedFloyd ()
00:09:21_FireFly_for me with the new settings the decrease of the volume is a bit less and for the dull sound also
00:09:53]RowaN[i didnt think stereo width worked on the iriver build, unless its been recently introduced
00:10:12ashridahheh. having the status bar on wiggs out that 'boxes' wps
00:11:02]RowaN[thank god for custom wps.. i just tried that boxes wps.. and then immediately reverted back =p

00:17:57*ashridah watches preglow do the stack shuffle
00:18:03solexx_I am sorry if I am annoying you, but I am also interested in the new "crossfeed dsp effect"
00:18:10solexx_what is it?
00:18:25 Join ehntoo [0] (n=ehntoo@24-177-166-0.dhcp.mrqt.mi.charter.com)
00:18:29ashridahsolexx_: basically a reduced volume version of the left channel is bled into the right channel and vice versa
00:18:54solexx_thanks
00:18:58ashridahit basically simulates listening via speakers
00:19:07preglowi don't suppose anyone knows how i can access static variables from asm? :>
00:19:08ashridah since that's what happens normally, and most cds are mixed with that in mind
00:19:22solexx_I will try it tomorrow
00:19:28ashridahinstrumental jazz in particular is often recorded with completely separate instruments on different channels
00:20:26solexx_Sounds interesting. But I am not sure I'll like it.
00:20:45solexx_It's fun to hear instruments only in one ear :)
00:20:53amiconnLinusN?
00:21:16solexx_but well, I never had really good speakers...
00:23:00ashridahsolexx_: actually, it's hard to concentrate on the music. the effect won't be very noticable, just easier to listen to.
00:23:32preglowthis making all variables static really doesn't ease assembler versions of routines
00:23:42ashridahmono recordings suffer from similar issues, really. you find it harder to listen to them. if you timeshift it a tiny bit and play that in the other ear, it actually get's easier
00:24:45markunashridah: I could do it for mono as well..
00:25:13ashridahmarkun: don't bother on my account, i don't have any mono recordings
00:25:53amiconnBagder: wrong fix...
00:26:15amiconnIt's no longer called BL_IRIVER, but BL_IRIVER_H100, and some more files need fixing...
00:26:36Bagderwell, it did fix a few errors ;-)
00:26:42Bagderbut i'm working on a better one
00:26:50amiconnokay
00:27:26amiconnBah, I didn't really manage to do much today. At least the comments on my gcc bug reports are coming in quickly

00:42:53Bagderthe h1x0 sims are broken
00:42:57Bagdereven after my fix
00:45:53Moos23:58<markun> preglow: ACC etc are not declared for non coldfire platforms (ipod)
00:46:26Bagderand not for simulated coldfire platforms either

00:48:06XavierGrThe ondio doesn't have a disk right?
00:48:12markungood night
00:48:17 Part AliasCoffee ("Leaving")
00:49:59MoosXavierGr: yes flash device and MMC card
00:50:37XavierGrso my plugin that detects hd spins will not work on this target.
00:51:00Moossurely not :)
00:51:04amiconnIt will if it checks often enough
00:51:27amiconnThe mmc driver mimics the ata driver behaviour where it makes sense
00:51:33XavierGrmy code uses ata_disk_is_active function
00:51:44Moosoh yeah
00:51:54XavierGrevery time the disk begins a new spin it will log the battery results
00:52:17amiconnYes, ata_disk_is_active is implemented for the mmc driver, check ata_mmc.c
00:52:40amiconnThe mmc is considered active when the mutex is locked
00:52:54XavierGrhmm then it shouldn't be a problem.
00:53:03amiconnHowever, detecting probably doesn't make much sense on the Ondio, just write in regular intervals
00:53:24XavierGrDo all the targets have BUTTON_OFF BUTTON_ON?
00:53:31amiconnnope
00:53:41amiconnOndio only has BUTTON_OFF
00:54:04linuxstb_The ipod probably won't have either.
00:54:46XavierGramiconn, linuxstb_: Please tell me a button to replace then.
00:54:51XavierGrit is as it sounds
00:54:58XavierGron to confirm off to cancel
00:55:22 Quit actionshrimp ("a bird in the bush is worth two in your house")
00:56:19amiconnOn Ondio: cancel = BUTTON_OFF, confirm = BUTTON_RIGHT
00:56:37amiconnRight doubles as Play on the Ondio
00:56:48XavierGrok then
00:57:06amiconnSo you can say Play to confirm, Off to cancel
00:57:37amiconnSame goes for archos recorders (they have a real BUTTON_PLAY)
00:57:47XavierGrThat is convinient no need to ifdef the text then.
00:57:50linuxstb_I haven't thought about the ipod button mappings at all yet. I need to go through every plugin at some point, so don't worry about the ipod for now
00:57:53amiconnFor archos player it would be BUTTON_PLAY and BUTTON_STOP
00:58:35XavierGrabout the LCD_CHARCELLS: How many lines of text can it render?
00:58:53amiconn2 lines, 11 chars each
00:58:54***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:59:13XavierGrwith the normal text rendring functinos?
01:00
01:00:00XavierGrI mean players don't use another function for text dislay, right?
01:00:21amiconnlcd_puts() and lcd_puts_scroll() are there
01:00:33amiconnlcd_putsxy() obviously is not
01:00:44XavierGryeah
01:00:56XavierGrI will drop those for this target then.
01:01:27XavierGrso my plugin can run on all targets, if I am not mistaken...

01:09:02amiconnThe build table does look ill
01:09:13XavierGrindeed
01:09:57ashridahhm. is it possible to add a slight margin between the box and the text scrolling inside it for the 'boxes' wps?
01:11:27XavierGrsorry to ask this at such time; But what happened to wps, and what's all this talk about wps boxes e.t.c?
01:11:45XavierGrwhat's the new story here?
01:12:12ashridahXavierGr: recent commits added graphical wps's with bitmap graphics and whatnot.
01:12:38ashridahcheck out the 'wps' directory inside the rockbox directory, and rockbox's build process will include them.
01:12:57ashridahthere's an ipod-alike and a rockbox-original one
01:13:00XavierGrso a daily build will now include default images for WPSs
01:13:28ashridahi don't know, probably. i don't really use daily builds
01:13:52ashridahyou still need to select one first, afiak.
01:13:56XavierGrinteresting I will have a look
01:13:58ashridahafaik even
01:14:26XavierGrmajor activity these days. Good to see so many things happening.
01:15:14ashridahmm. looks like there's been some work on the h300 front
01:15:50amiconnA bit too many quick-shot commits for my taste :/
01:16:06XavierGrheh
01:16:42ashridahamiconn: is it relatively easy to setup a script that builds every platform?
01:16:43XavierGralways very thoughtfull before any commit eh amiconn?

01:18:46ashridahalthough that'd be a pain at some points
01:18:50XavierGramiconn: that is good and considerate.
01:19:17XavierGrAll must build some of the major branhes of the targets before commiting
01:19:19amiconnIn case I'm not sure I rather do one more build to make sure
01:19:32amiconnI just don't want to break things.
01:21:19preglowas long as people fixes the breakage, i don't mind
01:21:31XavierGrremind me again: Red colour on the daily builds table shows errors, while yellow show warnings?
01:21:37preglowXavierGr: yes
01:23:02amiconnSome changes (e.g. asm memcpy()) require even more caution. A subtle bug therein could cause all sorts of weird effects although the build runs ok...
01:24:18amiconnI have a test plugin for it that tests all possible combinations of source alignment, destination alignment and length that might be handled differently in the function

01:26:23lokkijust updated to the latest daily build and checked the to wps's out
01:26:43lokkii think you should definitly add a third one
01:27:23lokkiand i think it should be the default one (the one that used to be default)
01:28:05lokkibecause once you selected a wps from the menu, you can't go back to the default wps or can you?
01:28:31amiconnHmm, as you mention it... a while ago I noticed that it's not possible to reset some file-related settings (font, wps, language) to their builtin default
01:29:09lokkiyeah, but at least you can select the rockbox default font in the font menu
01:29:22amiconnOf course it's possible to have a file with the identical font, wps or language as the builtin default, but it's still not the same
01:29:36lokkii agree
01:30:14lokkipersonally i like the default wps a lot better than the bitmapped ones
01:32:01lokkiallready have a driver for you rtc xshock?
01:32:05amiconnI also don't care about bitmaps, but my wps is a bit different from the default

01:32:43amiconnI'd like to see some larger fonts included...
01:33:01markunamiconn: I have some lager fonts, unicode too..
01:33:09lokkihmm, i usually just turn the icons off and use nimbus 12...
01:33:28lokkithat gives me a nice and clean look
01:33:58amiconnFor headphone and home use I'm using the default font on iriver, but for in-car I would like a larger one, maybe 20 pixels
01:34:38lokkisorry i meant xtal-14 not nimbus 12
01:34:42amiconnThe default could be a bit larger on iriver, but that's not a priority
01:34:53lokkiyes i agree
01:35:06lokkibut 20 pixels is very large
01:35:22markunlokki: XShocK said he had the his iriver displaying time and date, so I guess he made the driver.
01:35:27amiconn10x7 for H1x0 would roughly resemble the physical size of the current default 8x6 on the archos screen
01:35:29XavierGrgargantuan I could say
01:35:35preglowi think the default is fine on iriver
01:36:00XavierGrwell I could be better with a slight bigger, but anyway I use chicago 12 for my taste.
01:36:29lokkias long as we all can choose our fonts it doesn't really matter...
01:36:45XavierGr:) that's why I love Rockbox
01:36:47amiconnThe default is always used for a number of things
01:37:07lokkiyes, for debug menu...
01:37:31amiconnand vkeyboard, recording screen, numbers in the status bar, ...
01:38:28lokkii think for the vkeyboard it's just fine so you can navigate through all the symbols
01:38:45lokkistatusbar could be bigger and recording too

01:39:42pinkutankdoes anyone have a compiled jepg plugin that will allow file switching / browsing without interrupting music?
01:40:01markunThe unicode patch give more possibilities and more problems. People might want to select a vkeyboard with hebrew for example.
01:40:04pinkutankI couldnt compile my own, I dont have the time to learn it atm
01:40:32XavierGrpinkutank: I made the patch to auto scroll but I haven'e compiled with the while playing
01:40:59lokki<markun>: when did he say that? i couldn't find it in the logs
01:41:25pinkutankso you have the plugin ready to use patched?
01:41:58pinkutankI d really like play and browse, I'm surprised no one uses it, I would but I'm not good ay programming ; never compiled anything before
01:42:00XavierGrI have the plugin that scrolls files but it will stop music.
01:42:15pinkutankstill can I have it, its better than the original
01:42:36XavierGrokay, you have a late daily build right?
01:42:41pinkutanktodays
01:43:21amiconnLinusN: Will your next bootloader (I guess there will be H100, H120 and H300 versions) incorporate the SDRAM init fixes?
01:43:21markunlokki: Can't find it either. Maybe I dreamed or logbot didn't record it.
01:43:43lokki>
01:43:46pinkutankthe eq was on development, what happened to it?
01:44:15XavierGramiconn, LinusN: If a new bootloader is made I think that we need to rethink if the rockbox.target file needs to be in the root directory
01:44:27XavierGrand if it is then at least make it delete proof.

01:49:57|joshn|Is rockbox currently booting on the 3x0, outside of BDM?
01:50:04amiconnWake-up alarm is a feature that not only requires an rtc, the rtc must also be able to power up the unit somehow
01:50:31lokkiyeah that seems logic
01:50:35amiconnThe archos fm and v2 recorders can do that, and the v1 recorder can do it as well with a small hardware mod
01:50:45LinusN|joshn|: no
01:50:48amiconnFor these, the alarm function is built into the core
01:50:56|joshn|bummer
01:51:03XavierGrLinusN: what can you currently do with the H300?
01:51:13lokkido you think the hx0 could be modded in such a way to?
01:51:21XavierGrI mean what parts of rockbox are implemented?
01:51:26|joshn|I'd like to help with it, but I'm not quite ready to got that far to start now
01:51:28lokkitoo i mean
01:51:41preglowmarkun: i'll commit it once i'm certain it produces the same results
01:52:06amiconnlokki: Way harder, since there is no rtc to begin with. One would have to add the rtc, including the powerup functionality
01:52:31preglowmarkun: btw, i'll remove the crossfeed enabled check outside of the function, so we at least don't waste a function call just to find out it isn't needed after all
01:52:36amiconnThe archos recorder v1 already has an rtc, just the powerup functionality needs to be added with a small mod

08:03:30XShocKi think it will not be hard at all to add ake-up functionality to iriver, it just requires an rtc chip with alarm, and also an amplifier(i supose rtc alarm aoutput is very weak.) .I guess a resistor + transistor will do the job of amplifying, and feed that signal to play button.
08:05:18XShocKi will try to find a replacement for my alarmless rtc with one with alarm.
08:05:35XShocKi don't really need that functionality, but will do it just for the sake of it.
08:08:28Slasherii just might put a bluetooth chip inside the player so i could use cell phone for example to control it while it's inside pocket :)

10:55:06solexxwhat are the "iriver h1x0 boot" build targets?
10:55:32linuxstb__The bootloader - the small program that is patched into the original iriver firmware and then flashed into your player.
10:56:17solexxthx. Has it been updated recently for H120?
10:56:34solexxiow: is there any need to reflash?
10:56:39linuxstb__preglow: They seem to have good intentions - i.e. writing small and efficient codecs.
10:56:56KaggenHi, I having some problems building m68k-bdm-1.30, I can't seem to get the includes correct, the best i've got is a ld-error otherwise it complains on missing header files.
10:56:59linuxstb__So I'm sure it will be significantly better than libfaad if they do it.
10:57:01KaggenAny ideas?
10:57:43preglowlinuxstb__: is that a stated intention or just what it looks llike?
10:57:46linuxstb__solexx: No, even developers only run official releases of the bootloader - i.e. the ones that Linus makes available on the Wiki page or are released as part of the fw patcher.

10:59:05preglowi haven't looked at any of their other codecs
10:59:08linuxstb__preglow: From reading that thread, it seems one person has already started work on documenting the format, and the other developers seem keen on the idea. So I don't know if/when anyone will work on it.

11:00:21linuxstb__No, I haven't really studied their other codecs either. But a RealAudio (cook) decoder was recently added to CVS. That could be interesting for people wanting to play webcasts on their Rockbox, but it's floating point.

11:32:02preglowin terms of sound quality there have been done a couple of simple waveform based tests done via spdif recording
11:32:12preglowfor most codecs apart from mp3, rockbox and iriver are essentially equal
11:32:20preglowmp3 differs somewhat more, but not much
11:32:26preglowas for battery life, i can't remember
11:32:30preglowroughly equal
11:33:06markunany idea what causes the difference for mp3? According to the libmad site it should be very accurate
11:33:10wubblaso, mp3 was better on rockbox?
11:36:10preglowmarkun: probably bugs and simplifications thanks to optimising
11:36:18preglowwubbla: slightly worse
11:36:48preglowi can probably have it more precise, but that would mean sacrificing performance

11:54:58ep0ch|but we're only accurate to about 11.5 bits
11:55:39ep0ch|i might try some different mp3s like low bitrate cbr etc and see if i can spot a differene
11:57:02ep0ch|if i were to play a 22khz file via optical out, does the rockbox resampler kick in, or does the optical out do native 22khz?
12:00
12:00:24preglow11.5 bits?
12:00:29preglowthat's got to be wrong
12:00:36preglowep0ch|: resampler kicks in
12:00:42ep0ch|well the difference was about +/-20
12:00:55ep0ch|which is about 4.5 bits
12:01:05preglowep0ch|: spdif doesn't even support 22khz
12:01:10ep0ch|preglow: ok
12:01:12preglowthen i've clearly done something wrong in optimising
12:01:24linuxstbpreglow: I'm thinking that we should perhaps not byte-swap the framebuffer, but just leave it in native format - I think this will make it easier to share code (and perhaps more importantly, bitmaps) with the H300. I'm not sure if that optimisation is worth the inconvenience it causes.
12:02:17preglowbyteswap?
12:02:23preglowdo we byteswap the framebuffer?
12:02:36XavierGrhmm made my first battery test with my plugin. Results were dissapointed. Though Istarted the test with battery at 50 %
12:02:44linuxstbBecause the lcd_update function needs to send a big-endian word to the LCD driver.

12:03:47preglowshould be no difference if you ask me. the endianness change only affects the memory interface

12:06:20preglowbut in my experience it takes longer for a battery to go to 50% than from 50% to 0
12:06:28XavierGrcause I let the player play and it skipped foldres and such
12:06:39XavierGrso it may have played other codecs too.

12:06:58XavierGryes of course
12:07:25XavierGrI say that on the comments too, and I was the first to break that rule, lol
12:07:39amiconnXavierGr: Do you use sleep() in your battery log thread?
12:07:56XavierGrhmm no
12:08:13preglowthen it probably eats a lot of battery
12:08:13XavierGrI just scan for disk activity
12:08:31XavierGrbut I yield every time
12:08:37XavierGror it doesn't matter?
12:08:41amiconnyes
12:08:47amiconnIt does matter
12:08:52preglowwhy do you scan for disk activity?
12:08:57amiconnIf nothing to do you should use sleep()
12:09:06XavierGrthen someone will have to say to me when to call a sleep.
12:09:07preglowright, to avoid spinning up the disk
12:09:19XavierGrI will pastebin the code.
12:09:25amiconnpreglow: There is (currently) no interface in the ata driver that actively reports activity

12:09:58amiconnXavierGr: I place of rb->yield() just use rb->sleep(HZ/10)
12:10:16preglowwell, you can probably just sleep for long amounts of time
12:10:18amiconnI'm quite sure that checking every 1/10 s is enough to catch a spinup
12:10:21preglowat least a number of seconds
12:10:58preglowas is now your plugin probably uses a little amount of power itself
12:10:59XavierGr1/10 seconds that's too fast.
12:11:18XavierGrthe disk spin minimum is 3 sconds
12:11:41preglowthen hooray, sleep for a couple of seconds
12:11:53preglowyour plugin should have very little overhead in that case
12:12:00amiconnOne second should be sufficient
12:12:18amiconn...just to make sure not to miss a spinup
12:12:26XavierGrso you say to change the yields in the thread with sleeps? Ok got it
12:12:52amiconnThe point is that as long as not al threads are sleeping, the scheduler cannot use the sleep instruction of the cpu
12:13:17amiconnXavierGr: Probably not all yields, just the one in the loop that checks for disk activity
12:14:05XavierGrwell it is one yield inside this loop
12:15:37preglowsleeps wont happen anyway when you use codecs
12:16:51linuxstbWhy not?
12:17:04XavierGrI could always set the amount of sleep from the configuration file (spin disk time - 2)
12:17:31preglowlinuxstb: because the codec plugins themselves never sleep
12:18:48linuxstbDoesn't the pcmbuf_insert_split() block - meaning the codec thread is sleeping?

12:19:11preglowno, it means it's yielding
12:19:23preglowybkess that function sleeps, of course
12:19:26preglowhaven't checked that
12:20:41preglowunless, even

12:21:42linuxstbI think it does sleep - see line 313 of playback.c

12:31:08XavierGrok can someone say to me how to add a file to my patch?
12:31:43XavierGrI mean I type cvs diff -u > file but this will output all the changes to files that already exist in cvs
12:32:26_FireFly_with cvs add but for this you must have write access to cvs
12:32:50XavierGryes that was told by timid yesterday
12:33:00_FireFly_the normal diff has an option −−new-file but this isn't supported from cvs dff
12:33:02XavierGrso I can't right?
12:33:26linuxstbJust do a normal diff between two directories - instead of using "cvs diff".
12:33:28_FireFly_you can if you make a diff localy between two local copies
12:33:42XavierGrok then shoot
12:33:52XavierGrjust add a −−new-file handler?
12:34:39_FireFly_yepp it's a option of diff
12:35:06_FireFly_simply diff -u −−new-file org-dir patched-dir
12:35:20_FireFly_all new files in patched-dir will be added to the diff
12:35:25XavierGrok thanks
12:39:27_FireFly_in svn it is possible to use a external diff command to generate diffs and no network access is needed :)
12:39:48preglowgood, good! now go annoy bagder about it!
12:40:14_FireFly_preglow do you mean me ??
12:40:19preglowanyone :P
12:40:24preglowhe already knows i want svn
12:40:28_FireFly_:)
12:41:13ep0ch|how can i compile without remote support?
12:41:22_FireFly_??
12:41:29preglowyou need to hack a header
12:41:36preglowwhy do you want to do that, btw?
12:41:39ep0ch|(i dont use the remote)
12:41:50ep0ch|and want rockbox lean and mean :)
12:42:06_FireFly_maybe we should add an function which returns if remote is connected or not
12:42:38_FireFly_and use this function to determine if the screen-access functions should call any remote-lcd functions
12:43:47preglowep0ch|: apps/screen_access.h
12:43:54preglowep0ch|: line 34, change the 2 to 1
12:43:55ep0ch|HAVE_REMOTE_LCD?
12:43:59preglowep0ch|: untested, that should work
12:44:03ep0ch|ok
12:44:12preglowyou could also undefine HAVE_REMOTE_LCD, yes
12:44:32_FireFly_it should work if only HAVE_REMOTE_LCD is unset
12:44:38preglowyes
12:44:51preglowand that's probably defined in config-h100.h
12:44:51_FireFly_because the value of NB_SCREENS depends of HAVE_REMOTE_LCD
12:45:00_FireFly_yepp

12:46:21amiconn_FireFly_: The remote lcd drawing (to the remote framebuffer) also needs to be done when the remote is not connected
12:46:35ep0ch|i was thinking there would be one big file in rockbox with lots of defines
12:46:57amiconnRockbox doesn't know beforehand when it will be connected
12:47:27preglowi've been wondering, currently the remote and unit is always in the same state, yes? would it be easy/feasible to make it possible for the two to be in different states?
12:47:27_FireFly_amiconn this could be always be done but no lcd-update or other lcd-calls which will change direktly somthing on the remote-lcd
12:47:34preglowfor example one in wps, the other in filetree
12:47:54_FireFly_with my wps-widget it is possible only some modification are needed
12:48:02_FireFly_in my widget
12:48:12preglowcurrently it seems the two share button handlers, that would obviously need to change
12:48:15_FireFly_but then we need two seperate gui-threads for this
12:48:28_FireFly_and button handler
12:48:55amiconn_FireFly_: If you had a look at the remote lcd driver, you would know that's what it does
12:49:10amiconnlcd_update() does immediately return when the remote is not connected
12:49:49amiconnlcd_remote_update() even
12:51:03_FireFly_but what is when the remote was plugged in on boot but after then removed ?? then is remote_initialized=true
12:51:19amiconnnope
12:52:14amiconncheck remote_tick(), line 467
12:54:05_FireFly_maybe i'm stupid but this won't be get true :

12:58:19markunany idea which chip the Toshiba Gigabeat X30 uses?
12:58:31amiconnThere it's not worth to check, it just sets a port bit
12:58:49amiconnIt's not exactly an lcd driver function either

15:08:47ep0ch|XavierGr: does it write the battery size into the log file, it would be useful when comparing results
15:09:10preglowlinuxstb__: yes, with the rev instruction

15:52:27ep0ch|yngwi: for cygwin i followed http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SimpleGuideToCompiling
15:52:33markunB4gder: I think Gigabeat is not UMS..
15:54:37yngwido you know are there problems when cygwin is on my system when i install the devkit u pointed at with your link?
15:55:38linuxstb__markun: The license docs mention linux-wlan, samba and dhcp - does it have any networking?
15:55:50yngwibecause i tried the simple giude already and it didn't work
15:56:03linuxstb__yngwi: Go to the CrossCompiler wiki page.
15:56:20linuxstb__That gives instructions for building the cross-compiler from source.
15:56:27yngwithats exactly my problem
15:56:30markunlinuxstb__: wlan would be fun
15:56:54yngwii did that and id used to work on another pc but when trying at home i cannot get it to compile (the binutils)

15:57:30markunlinuxstb__: there is a wifi cradle for sale
15:57:57linuxstb__markun: I'm quite tempted myself...
15:58:52markunThe F41 has a nice single platter 40GB drive, but the X30 is quite a bit smaller. Difficult decision
15:59:41linuxstb__yngwi: Do you have all the tools required to build binutils? You need Perl, flex, bison, m4, and maybe others.
16:00
16:02:06yngwiyes i think
16:02:23yngwiat least i tried to follow the instructions the best i could

16:25:00linuxstb__One option would be to download the development kit, and then copy the contents of the /opt/m68k from there and copy it into your cygwin installation somewhere.
16:25:15yngwihmmm
16:25:19linuxstb__The DevKit is basically a very minimal cygwin with pre-compiled binaries of the cross-compilers.
16:25:33yngwidoes it interfere with cygwin?

16:25:48yngwihmm i guess ill try that, thanks
16:26:24linuxstb__If you do use that devkit, then you will get an error message when compiling the "tools" directory in Rockbox (related to ipod_fw.c). You can safely ignore it.

16:48:36amiconnYou'd need to do a similar thing as the 1 and 2-bit drivers do for the line blocks

17:50:55linuxstb__Has anyone used cvs admin before? Is the following syntax correct: cvs admin -m "1.10:This is the text of my message" file.c
17:52:15preglowi think if you move the quote to after the colon
17:53:41linuxstb__I don't think that matters - the shell should treat them both the same.

17:56:56linuxstb__Lovely. Worked fine on the first file.
17:57:35_FireFly_you must do it for each file seperatly

20:50:32tucozI remember earlier that it took ages on the iriver to generate a db, but really fast on the pc
20:50:34_FireFly_Mordov: did you also used the parameter −−strip ??
20:50:43Mordovwow I copied teh file I made in the C: test into the iRiver and now it all works agen
20:50:52tucozMordov: good
20:51:14Mordov_FireFly_ I have tryed everything I could think of;)
20:51:18tucozthen it is not working as it should on the iriver. Do not know why though
20:51:26Mordovguess it all started when I deletedthe old....
20:51:41Mordovmaby java was writning to the ghost of it
20:51:47tucozHCl: if you read this, then you might have some info on this.
20:51:53_FireFly_you need the strip parameter afaik
20:52:07Mordov_FireFly_??
20:52:11tucozah, that is probably true
20:52:21tucozor, is it?
20:52:24Mordovafaik?

20:52:35_FireFly_as far as i know = afaik ;)

20:53:03Mordovso what code schoud I have in my makedbj file?
20:53:24Mordovall works fine. after copying teh DB file I made on c:
20:53:36tucozMordov, what is makedbj? the batch file?
20:53:51Mordovyapp
20:54:12_FireFly_i think rb can't the file if the path looks like this c:\mp3s\
20:54:16Mordovwhere do I put the __strip
20:54:42tucozI think it is −−strip
20:55:12Mordovand that comando does??
20:55:33tucozand that would be java -jar SongDB.jar −−strip path_to_directory
20:55:50Mordovok, what does it do? I didn't get that ;)
20:56:38Mordov[20:49] <_FireFly_> you need the strip parameter afaik:)
20:56:40Mordovgot it :)
20:57:35tucoz"4. Run "java -jar SongDB.jar −−strip /mnt/archos /mnt/archos" from inside the .rockbox directory"

21:00:24_FireFly_it seams it doesn't matter if you use −−strip or not
21:00:58tucozMordov, if it works, just use what works
21:01:03Mordovthanks for the help guys :)
21:01:16tucozI mean on your iriver

21:01:32Mordovif it anit broken whay fixit :)
21:01:44joehmisticrivooh another question..
21:01:49joehmisticrivim looking at this iaudio x5l
21:02:08joehmisticrivand was just wondering if it would be worth the upgrade from my h340
21:02:15Mordov(except I'm a repair dude at work so I earn money from fixing ting that are working ;)
21:02:23tucozhehe
21:02:23joehmisticrivive read the review of it but am still undecided
21:03:03tucozjoehmisticriv: It looks nice, but I think a possible rockbox port is further in the future than that of a h3x0 port
21:03:16Mordovhave someone moded a better joystick? the original on the 120 sux
21:03:34joehmisticrivyeah that crossed my mind
21:03:48tucozA port was started a while ago, but the person starting it hasn't been seen for some months
21:04:13Learmordov: it isn't so bad if you do something that gives you a better grip of it, imho...
21:04:49Mordovhmm good idea, I wqas thinking of throwing it away and exchange it with some rubber cirkle
21:05:00Mordovpuls instal of leaning ;)
21:05:03Mordovoush
21:05:07Mordovbah PUSH
21:06:22tucozjoehmisticriv, but the hardware on the iaudio is quite similar to that of the h340
21:06:36 Quit bbad ("KVIrc 3.2.0 'Realia'")
21:06:52joehmisticrivi like the button layout on the h340 because ive mastered changing tracks/volume etc while its still in my pocket...
21:07:13Mordov:)
21:07:19joehmisticrivyeah...the 5fps increase on the video playback
21:07:31joehmisticrivand for such a small display 5fps is going to make a difference
21:07:36joehmisticrivthe h340 is slightly choppy
21:07:42joehmisticrivbeen using it to watch simpsons episodes
21:07:52tucozok, 10 fps ?
21:08:48tucozI do not think rockbox could enhance that very much. Maybe by using a uncompressed tailor-made format. But not when showing avi, mpg's or whatever else.
21:08:48joehmisticrivyeah on the iriver, according to this review the x5 is 15
21:08:55tucozhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IaudioPort
21:10:05tucozjoehmisticriv, maybe the ipods could do better? There has recently been started a ipod porting effort. Seems like it is progressing nicely.
21:11:16Learmordov: e.g., hot glue works quite well.
21:11:29joehmisticrivonly problem with that is most of my music is ogg...ripped from cd
21:11:36MordovLear :D nice
21:12:49tucozjoehmisticriv: ah, the ipod-firmware do not play those. Right. Well, I believe rockbox will play oggs on ipod when that time comes.
21:12:50joehmisticrivalso, i like using the hot swappable drive. Simply drag and drop
21:13:18joehmisticrivand im a bit of a perfectionist

21:24:12CassandraBadger: regarding the guy who's having problems reverting to default WPS. Any reason why we shouldn't just check in a copy of the default WPS to the WPS collection?
21:24:37_FireFly_Cassandra: do you have also the problem with your wps (boxes) that the images for the hold didn't get cleared when hold is off ??

21:25:39CassandraYes. I believe that's a general bug with graphical WPS code.
21:26:06CassandraSeeking in the track, or switching to the menu and back will clear it.
21:26:18_FireFly_yepp, the problem is if the image-tag is not in the same line as it is shown on screen
21:26:34_FireFly_but this is only right if in the same line is shown some text
21:26:57_FireFly_if only images is shown in this line it doesn't work

21:28:46_FireFly_i have a solution for this but i don't know if this works correctly for all wpses which has this problem
21:28:47tucozor maybe that's where you read it :)
21:29:11_FireFly_but for this the wps had to be modified
21:29:17_FireFly_s/had/has
21:30:01CassandraFirefly - I think it's better to fix the bug in the WPS code.
21:30:31Slasheriyes, the bug should be fixed
21:30:42_FireFly_yepp i had tried some to fix it but it didn*t worked correctly
21:31:17Cassandratucoz: That's what I'm talking about. I think the simplest solution is just to check a copy of the default config into CVS then people can revert the same way as they do with fonts.
21:32:05_FireFly_in one possible solution(i thought it were a solution) some images get also cleared which shouldn't or/and some text wasn't shown
21:32:05CassandraThe other bug that needs fixing is of course remote lock staying on when the remote isn't plugged in.
21:32:06amiconnHmm, still no Linus :/
21:32:08Slasheribtw, i will soon have a stable iriver_flash plugins, that allows to flash the rockbox firmware (but not yet to revert back to original fw)

21:32:37CassandraSlasheri: Like to live dangerously, do you?
21:32:56Slasherihehe, how? :)
21:33:19Slasheriall tests so far have been quite safe
21:33:21_FireFly_it adds a function which indicates if remote is plugged in and this function is used in wps-code
21:34:02Cassandra*nod*
21:34:47tucozSlasheri: do you know why rockbox attempts at playing .WMA files?
21:35:00Slasheriamiconn: no h300 and in fact probably i wouldn't even by it anymore because it's discontinued. But iaudio would be interesting to buy and start some porting to it :)
21:35:10Slasheritucoz: nope, checking that
21:35:14tucozShouldn't the codec switch-case catch that?

21:35:55_FireFly_this is only for creating playlists
21:36:08_FireFly_afaik
21:36:14Cassandra*nods* I agree.
21:36:14amiconnSlasheri: Isn't the iaudio the one that has the display on the remote only?
21:36:35CassandraOh, I bet I know why it's there.
21:36:41Slasheriamiconn: eh, really? At least iaudio x5 should have a nice color screen on the main unit

21:42:19CassandraDamn - I've just realised the good reason.
21:42:33CassandraThe defaults are different for the player and others.

21:43:57Cassandra*nod* Yes, it could.
21:45:11tucozAnyway, I think the theme loading sounds nice. i.e. the loading of a font, and the wps.
21:45:59tucozBut, I do believe to have a show status bar tag in the wps is a good thing. It is nice to be able to see that stuff when not in wps as well.
21:46:59Mordovnow it put theDB file on root..... the strange part is that it worked this mornig so there must be somme setting that is alterd and does not reset when I reinstall rockbox...

22:20:21dpassen1is crossfeed supposed to lower the volume significantly?
22:20:25CassandraAh yes, I see it.
22:20:56CassandraFirefly: Well, needs to be a general fix, really.
22:21:14Cassandradpassen1, don't think so. ReplayGain does though.
22:21:27dpassen1i have replaygain enabled already
22:21:33Coldtoastwhat does crossfeed do anyway?
22:21:38_FireFly_it's maybe not the best how to do it but the problem seams to be only for image-tags which are used in conditionals
22:21:42dpassen1but toggling crossfeed (after a few seconds) will lower the volune
22:21:59dpassen1crossfeed feeds a low volume section of the left channel to the right channel and vice versa
22:22:07dpassen1for more natural listening (less stereo width)
22:22:43CassandraI'm not sure why that's been implemented as it has.
22:22:44_FireFly_and with a delay to simulate the way through the head
22:22:47Coldtoasthmm. ok. Cos for me, all I seemed to notice was the significant volume drop
22:23:07CassandraI think a more general stereo width function akin to the Archos one would've been a better idea.
22:23:14Coldtoastsounds almost like you're deliberately putting each channel out of phase a bit
22:23:18CassandraAnd not significantly more difficult.
22:24:11_FireFly_am i right that the image problem in wps only referst to images which are used in conditionals ??

23:21:44_FireFly_isn't it easier/better to use the lower 4 bits(in rgb444) and save the upper 4 bits for restoring ??
23:21:55amiconnNo
23:22:12amiconnYOu have to shift down when setting the colour, otherwise the colour would be wrong
23:22:32amiconnAs mentioned, it is simple to return the correct (rounded) colour later
23:23:02amiconnAnyway, it's not necessary to do this for lcd_get_*ground()
23:23:14_FireFly_i don't understand this why to use the upper bits instead of the lower bits
23:23:51amiconnThe return value does not need to be shifted up, as it's defined to return values in the native range (0..MAX_RED) etc

23:25:28linuxstbWe're just targetting the PP5020 devices initially.
23:25:29davidc__Hmm.. we can port it to all gens as we have the testing resources
23:26:24Paul_The_NerdIsn't the nano PP5021?
23:26:25davidc__we would also want to add hfs+ support
23:26:32davidc__PP5020 is very similar to 21
23:26:35Paul_The_NerdAh
23:26:38linuxstbThe bootloader is basically a cut-down version of rockbox - using the rockbox drivers for ATA, FAT32 etc. So porting the bootloader would mean that Rockbox versions for those devices are close.
23:26:40davidc__only some iram size changeas
23:26:52davidc__ah, hrm
23:26:56linuxstbDoes the Nano have a different amount of IRAM then?
23:27:06davidc__yeah.. the 21 has an extra 24k IIRC
23:27:14linuxstbThat will please preglow a lot.
23:27:21linuxstbHe's the dev with a Nano,
23:27:38Paul_The_NerdHow different is the 5G ipod then?
23:27:49davidc__Very different
23:28:06davidc__some of it is the same
23:28:12*Paul_The_Nerd shrugs
23:28:12davidc__but the video path is definitely different
23:28:18davidc__and the audio path is most likely different
23:28:29davidc__they use the broadcom chip for decoding the video / lcd drawing
23:28:29Paul_The_NerdNot that it matters to me, since I own none of them
23:28:31davidc__we know that much
23:28:39davidc__and might use it for mp3 decoding
23:28:44linuxstbIs it possible to access the LCD without the broadcom chip?
23:28:45amiconnw00t!
23:28:48Paul_The_NerdThough there's a high probability of me purchasing a Nano once Rockbox will let me play at least oggs on it.
23:28:59amiconnThe sim is showing colour :-)
23:29:07davidc__linuxstb: it is possible, but extremely slow
23:29:20linuxstbToo slow to be usable?
23:29:24davidc__aka, for a basic UI, its possible if you're only redrawing miniscule portions of the display
23:29:37davidc__but for things like iPL works on like video decoding, its completely unusable
23:29:44davidc__IIRC, on the order of seconds to redraw
23:29:50Paul_The_NerdWow
23:30:05Paul_The_NerdWhen you're measuring in SPF it's not good.
23:30:26davidc__well, the way to do it proper is to do your drawing on the broadcom chip
23:30:36davidc__but the thing is
23:30:42davidc__the broadcom uses a custom instruction set
23:31:05BagderDSPs tend to it seems
23:31:57linuxstbI have a question about the ipod grayscale LCDs - how are the pixels packed in the framebuffer? Our existing LCD code for 2bpp displays packs the pixels vertically - 4 vertical pixels per byte. Is the ipod the same?
23:31:58davidc__yeah, it seems to be a variant of ARC.. but we're not sure yet
23:32:16davidc__they're horizontal, from right to left IIRC
23:32:22davidc__it was a long time ago I poked at that stuff

23:33:07linuxstbThat makes adding support for the greyscale LCDs more work. But only a small amount of the driver needs to be functional for the bootloader to display text.
23:33:43davidc__yea
23:33:48davidc__well, how modular is your driver code?

23:33:58davidc__oh, and detecting ipod generations is a real bitch
23:34:02davidc__there are a lot of little tiny things
23:34:19davidc__you might just want to out-and-out take our detection code
23:34:21linuxstbWe avoid that - we do it at compile-time and produce different builds for different targets.
23:34:26davidc__ah
23:34:44linuxstbSee our build table here for the current targets: http://www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml
23:34:55linuxstbEvery CVS commit generates a new set of builds.
23:35:54davidc__cool.. yea.. we went for the "universal" option.. its less code to sling around
23:36:01davidc__but it does make for some very interesting kernel init codew
23:36:09linuxstbI can imagine.
23:36:23Bagderless code?
23:36:33davidc__er, less binaries
23:36:34Bagderhow can it be less code to do run-time checks?
23:36:37Bagderah
23:36:38Bagderok
23:36:40davidc__*been a long day ;)
23:37:10Bagderwe actually do run-time checks on the Archos player target
23:38:00linuxstbdavidc__: Has IPL switched to subversion now?
23:38:04davidc__partially
23:38:15davidc__the new source tree that we just announced is in svn
23:38:23davidc__but the kernel and old pz is still in cvs @ sf
23:38:37davidc__sourceforge has been really flaky lateley, so I dunno how long we're gonna be there
23:38:56Bagdersourceforge been flaky for years
23:39:08Bagderespecially CVS
23:39:17davidc__heh, we havent had any anonymous cvs access for a few weeks now
23:39:23davidc__apparently it is scheduled downtime
23:39:29davidc__according to sourceforge
23:39:36davidc__2 weeks scheduled downtime.. my ass.
23:40:11Bagderhehe
23:40:35davidc__we should look into sharing code.. we're doing a lot of hand optimizing of assembly for the ipods to do all sorts of fast stuff
23:40:43davidc__those things are probably portable
23:40:57davidc__[aka graphics blits, blends 888->565]
23:41:19linuxstbWe'll mainly be looking at optimising our audio codecs - they are already very well tuned for use in portable players.
23:41:28markunBagder: thanks for the Gigabeat Surgery site
23:41:48davidc__Do you use custom codecs?
23:41:49BagderI didn't add that, someone else did
23:41:52davidc__or a port of other ones?
23:42:16Bagderwe use other's, ported and optimized by us
23:42:17linuxstbWe use the standard libraries - libmad for MPEG, Tremor for Ogg.
23:42:43davidc__cool - just so you know... we got fairly poor performance out of those
23:42:50davidc__gcc is really bad at optimizing for arm
23:42:52Bagderwe don't ;-)
23:43:00davidc__well, for the iPod I mean ;)
23:43:20davidc__we got much better performance out of the codecs that real released
23:43:30BagderI'm surprised
23:43:33linuxstbWe found one of the biggest gains were using IRAM efficiently. There is a big difference in speed between the DRAM and IRAM on the iRiver devices.
23:44:02preglowwee
23:44:13linuxstbpreglow: The man with extra IRAM :)
23:44:13davidc__yea.. we've been looking into using that for accelleration, but the ipod has nasty cache coherency issues
23:45:30davidc__so the iram ends up being used for all sorts of things that require cache coherency
23:46:05linuxstbWe use 48KB of IRAM for the codecs and the other 48KB for general use - thread stacks and some core functions.
23:46:24davidc__yea, theres nowhere near that much iram
23:47:00linuxstbWhat are the caching issues we need to be aware of?
23:47:02davidc__[on the ipod that is]
23:47:06davidc__there are two cpu cores right?
23:47:16davidc__they both have separate caches
23:47:19davidc__they are non-snooped
23:47:30davidc__so basically, you've gotta handle cache coherency on your own
23:48:02preglowlinuxstb: i'd gladly take more!
23:48:26davidc__preglow: your nano has some extra IRAM iirc
23:48:39preglowargh, i was hoping all rockbox archs had 96kb
23:48:47davidc__no, just your nano
23:48:59preglowhow much?
23:49:27davidc__jas.. checking my notes
23:49:34preglowdavidc__: what, separate caches? like 48kb each?
23:49:48amiconnpreglow: This isn't true anyway; SH1 just has 4KB
23:49:58preglowamiconn: well, sh isn't swcodec
23:50:31amiconn[23:48:29] <preglow> ... > all rockbox archs < ... ;-)
23:50:56*amiconn is picky today
23:51:13preglowhaha
23:51:21preglowno, i knew sh has less iram
23:51:28davidc__each processor has an 8kb unified cache
23:51:34davidc__non snooped between the two
23:51:36davidc__and its not writeback
23:52:20preglowdata only?
23:52:35amiconnafaik unifiied means code+data
23:52:38preglowright
23:52:48preglowi'm a bit shaky on the terms
23:52:50amiconnbetter than coldfire
23:52:53preglowindeed
23:53:27preglowwe basically propose to use one of the cores for codecs only, so i don't think we'll have too many coherency issues
23:54:19davidc__wait, 5020 _does_ have 96k iram
23:54:26preglowpfew..
23:54:30davidc__the newer ones were 24 k up from that
23:54:45Bagderwow
23:54:55linuxstbdavidc__: Do you (i.e. IPL) know how to adjust the CPU frequency?
23:54:59 Join pinkutank [0] (n=ddd@85.101.96.60)
23:55:02davidc__yep
23:55:09davidc__look @ the kernel init code
23:55:12preglowthe iram is shared between cores, i take it?
23:55:19davidc__preglow - yeah, its non-cached
23:55:23davidc__and no wait state
23:55:24preglowyup
23:55:28preglowof course, heh
23:55:29davidc__so basically, thats what you get to use for IPC
23:55:49davidc__besides the mailboxes, which we don't ahve all figured out yet
23:56:03preglowmailboxes?
23:56:09preglowsounds exciting
23:56:13linuxstbIs this standard ARM stuff, or specific to PortalPlayer's implementation?
23:56:16preglowdavidc__: so you're one of the ipl reverse engineering people?
23:56:25davidc__well, leachbj is the crazy reverse engineer
23:56:37preglowdavidc__: nice anyway, i appreciate your work
23:56:44linuxstbAs do I.
23:56:51davidc__eh, I'll pass on the compliments
23:57:01davidc__I don't do much RE because he always beats me to it ;)
23:57:15pinkutankhellp, sorry for repeating after yesterday, but anyone with a non interrupting compiled jpeg viewer on?
23:57:59linuxstbdavidc__: Which ipods do you own? We need a tester for the "old" LCD code for the 4G Color/Photo.
23:58:11preglowpinkutank: why don't do it yourself?
23:58:38davidc__I've got a old lcd photo
23:58:41davidc__and a 1G
23:58:52davidc__er, old lcd color
