#rockbox log for 2005-12-14

00:00:01amiconnpreglow: You won't get me to buy an ipod ;)
00:00:22linuxstb_Buy a H10 then...
00:00:28amiconnbah
00:00:30linuxstb_Even less docs..
00:00:36amiconnYes, exactly
00:00:42mirakdoes a function like memcopy is implemented in assembler in gcc according to the target cpu, or does it uses C code ?
00:00:44*amiconn neeeeds datasheets
00:01:31miraktucoz: in Blade Trinity you can see a blind using braille stuffs
00:01:36mirakthat's a reference
00:01:37miraklol
00:01:58tucozmirak, ok. I have seen them though. Cool device.
00:02:02linuxstb_^BeN^ Which player are you using?
00:02:24mirakso gcc doesn't support exactly the m5249
00:02:33markunamiconn: Gigabeat perhaps? :)
00:02:35mirak?

00:03:00 Quit amiconn (" HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <-")
00:03:02markunAh yes, too much CPU
00:03:25peturCan somebody tell me where the audio mux pin is set for the H1xx?
00:03:41tucozmarkun, the gigabeat is so powerful it almost doesn't qualify as a embedded device
00:04:14markunWe can underclock the CPU of course
00:04:19Midgey34anyone know what is wrong with this line? if(rb->read(fd, score, sizeof(score)) <= 0) break;
00:04:19Midgey34warning: passing arg 2 of pointer to function makes pointer from integer without a cast
00:04:42linuxstb_You need to use &score
00:04:49markunOr maybe have 1 extra CPU boost level :)
00:05:01LinusNMidgey34: what are you doing?
00:05:04 Quit DangerousDan ("Miranda IM! Smaller, Faster, Easier. http://miranda-im.org")
00:05:05tucozheeh, like the older 486's. Wasn't the 486sx a 486dx(?) with the fpu disabled.
00:05:15tucozand underclocked
00:05:15petur486sx
00:05:39Midgey34LinusN: I'm working on rockblox using the vertical patch as a base
00:05:44LinusNpetur: the audio mux pin is described in the wiki
00:05:50markuntucoz: hey, the gigabeat also doesn't have FPU
00:05:58LinusNMidgey34: there is a highscore api in the plugin library
00:06:10tucozmarkun, grrr. Then it's cool. ;)
00:06:17Midgey34ah, I see, I'll look it up
00:06:24LinusNpetur: ah, you mean where in the code?
00:06:26webguest02markun: Any idea what to look for in this dir that might cause scrolling to get slow?
00:06:34markuntucoz: nog even multi processor :)
00:06:38^BeN^Night All
00:06:59tucozhehe, that is quite cool. multi-processor mp3-players
00:07:12tucozor did you mean not even...?
00:07:21markunwebguest02: can you dump the filenames to a textfile? Then I can recreate the dir and maybe find out what's wrong
00:07:34webguest02I have the dir as 0byte files
00:07:40Midgey34LinusN: is not using the highscore lib frowned upon? I'm using the code from bejeweled with slight modifications
00:07:45markuntucoz: only 1 cpu (unlike the ipods)
00:07:48webguest02where I have already removed some files, and it still does it
00:08:01webguest02I'll zip it up
00:08:04webguest02hang on
00:08:06markunok
00:08:14tucozoh. I am looking forward to see your progress with gigabeat.
00:08:15LinusNpetur: pcm_record.c: pcm_record_mux()
00:08:28markuntucoz: it will have to wait till next year
00:08:49peturyuck. what is it doing there?
00:08:51LinusNMidgey34: not frowned upon, but we would appreciate if the plugins could use the same code
00:09:00Midgey34alright
00:09:04linuxstb_markun: That's only 18 days away...
00:09:08LinusNMidgey34: however, no plugin uses it, afaik
00:09:12tucozmarkun, that is soon
00:09:16markun:)
00:09:17tucoz:)
00:09:26peturand why is there fmradio.c and fmradio_i2c.c :(
00:09:38LinusNMidgey34: so you are free to redesign it to your liking and make both bejeweled and rockblox use it
00:09:53peturI would have expected stuff like enabling radio (switching mux pin) in fmradio.c
00:10:02LinusNpetur: because different platforms use different fm chips
00:10:12peturthat I can understand
00:10:14LinusNpetur: historical reasons, mostly
00:10:21 Join amiconn [0] (n=jens@p54BD4683.dip.t-dialin.net)
00:10:34peturmay as well clean up a bit then...
00:10:34LinusNpetur: the mux isn't necessarily a radio function
00:11:10LinusNthe mux controls what audio source is routed to the ADC
00:11:19tucozmarkun, still, do you like the gigabeat as it is though? It looks very neat.
00:11:27peturah - only for recording then
00:11:28LinusNin this case it's radio or line in
00:11:46peturso for radio playback, I don't have to switch anything
00:11:54LinusNfor recording and also radio playback, since we rerout the ADC right to the DAC
00:12:16LinusNyes, you need to set the ADC source to radio
00:12:25peturgreat...
00:12:34markuntucoz: yes, I like it. I made some screenshots of a movie and viewed them on the Gigabeat, looked very nice.
00:12:54 Quit Kohlrabi ("Leaving")
00:13:04peturwell if it's ok for you I'll take some more time and try to clean it up a bit
00:13:14LinusNwhat needs cleaning up?
00:13:27tucozmarkun, the resolution of the screen is very nice. Especially that it has a standard aspect-ratio.
00:13:35peturfmradio.c and fmradio_i2c.c ?
00:13:37tucoz...when tilted that is
00:14:13markuntucoz: The X30 has a nicer screen, but the internals are almost the same, so I think it will not difficult to support it as well.
00:14:39LinusNpetur: fmradio.c is for the archos fm recorder, which talks SPI with the chip
00:14:42tucozmarkun, doesn't yours have 240x320 resolution?
00:14:59LinusNpetur: and fmradio_i2c.c is for the archos ondio and the iriver
00:15:05LinusNwhich talk i2c

00:15:17tucozI see.
00:15:34peturI saw that, but it's not very clear...
00:15:48tucozhave you recieved the source code yet?
00:15:57markunno, still not
00:16:03LinusNpetur: no it isn't 100% clear

00:16:12LinusNpetur: what do you suggest?
00:16:12webguest02I believe that should work
00:16:29peturit could use something like the lcd-xxx file naming but that would be overkill
00:16:35peturneed to think about it
00:17:47markunpetur: file renaming is not nice with cvs. Wait till we switch over to svn

00:19:05peturI'll first try to get radio working, then make a common I2C bitbanger.
00:20:03markunwebguest02: yes, it lags here too
00:20:27webguest02Ah, well that's at least something
00:20:53webguest02I'm slowly trying to remove files with suspicious names
00:23:58LinusNpetur: good
00:24:04webguest02down to 94 files now. Still lagging.
00:25:09peturport pins adjusted, probably need to enable radio functionality for H300 somewhere and then read the RB manual how to operate it :D
00:26:32webguest0224 files. Still lagging.
00:27:29Midgey34while I'm here, are there any changes or suggestion people have for the Sokoban patch I wrote the other day?

00:31:50peturhehe, seems I need to define some buttons first too
00:33:15linuxstb_petur: You can use the same button definitions as the H100 - just do || CONFIG_KEYPAD == IRIVER_H300_PAD

00:49:11peturCould it be the settings change?
00:49:25LinusNpetur: maybe
00:49:32peturwill bump my version number

00:50:00LinusNpetur: that resets the settings, yes
00:50:18peturI tried it yesterday for my brightness thing
00:50:28peturwhen exactly should I start holding REC?
00:52:07JackPBefore the logo comes on, I think
00:52:50peturthat's what I tried: as soon as the bootloader start printing...
00:53:34peturright, any quick hints where the settings version number is defined...
00:54:27nathanhpetur: h300? hold rec while its off, then hold play while still holding rec until iriver has booted
00:54:28peturis it CONFIG_BLOCK_VERSION?

01:01:27 Quit ender` (" Oh, I'm also going to hunt you down in real life, break all your fingers and both your wrists, smash your computer, and cut )
01:01:36peturchanged CONFIG_BLOCK_VERSION, still no boot. Let's try without radio...
01:01:48mirakthere is only 96kB of fast ram ?
01:04:36mirakLinusN: how much is it faster to move some data to fast ram, then do the computing on it, move it back to slow ram, instead of just computing in the slow ram ?
01:04:54mirakI mean in your experience for what kind of computing it's worse
01:04:57mirakworth
01:07:49linuxstbmirak: It will obviously depend on how much that memory is accessed. But the slow ram is very slow. Also, codecs and plugins only have 48kb of iram - the rest is used by other parts of Rockbox.
01:08:22mirakbecause since a frame is bigger alone than the iram
01:08:45mirakonly operations on blocks would have a meaning
01:08:51mirakto be done in fast ram
01:08:58mirak(still on xvid)
01:09:09mirakI have not abandonned yet
01:09:12mirak:)
01:09:13 Part Sando
01:10:07miraklinuxstb: so for a full image, you need to pass each blocks for each type of frame (Y,U,V)
01:10:16linuxstbThis is the kind of optimisation you can experiment with when you get it working. Don't forget that if you want audio with your video, then the audio codecs will also be fighting for iram - they will struggle without it.
01:10:17mirakfrom slow ram to iram
01:10:28miraklol
01:10:37linuxstbIt's not going to be easy...
01:10:42miraknope
01:10:59mirakiriver took almost 2 years to achieve that, if not more
01:11:18mirakthe video codec appeared on later firmwares
01:11:22peturgreat... if I build with radio it doesn't boot. If I remove radio, everythings OK :(
01:11:43mirakthey probably also stripped to death the code but you need to know what you are doing to do that
01:11:49LinusNpetur: so there's obviously something wrong with the radio
01:11:55peturstep one: enable radio, do not touch mux
01:11:58LinusNpetur: enable the logf function
01:12:07peturah, where's that?
01:12:20miraklinuxstb: when a codec alone have a binary bigger than iram, how do you proceed ?
01:12:31LinusNwhen you run configure, select "developer" and then logf
01:12:48LinusNyou will then see logf() messages on the remote lcd
01:12:50linuxstbmirak: You specify which functions and which data structures are in iram. The rest are in sdram.
01:13:10peturremote lcd? don't have a remote....
01:13:11linuxstbOnly one or two audio codecs are small enough to fit entirely in iram.
01:14:03miraklinuxstb: so in general is it faster to move the code to iram dynamically ?
01:14:20mirakI guess rockbox doesn't do that
01:14:28nathanhwoo, new cvs doesnt flicker, what was the fix?
01:14:31mirakthat's a bit hard to do probablt
01:14:34***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:14:47linuxstbWe've never tried moving code to iram. You generally get much better improvements using the iram for data - the Coldfire has a code cache, but no data cache (IIUC)
01:15:04petur_FireFly_ made a ticking patch that solved the flickering :D
01:15:22nathanhgah?
01:15:27mirakLinusN: ok thanks, I understand better now
01:15:29linuxstb(I mean we've never tried dynamically moving code to iram)
01:15:44petur(only update the LCD in one place)
01:15:48nathanhoh right
01:16:17miraklinuxstb: so in average it's less a waste to move the data. I don't realise how fast it is to move data from slow ram to iram
01:17:04peturLinusN: logf only goes to the LCD of the remote? Just checking... because then it's useless for me.
01:17:23miraklinuxstb: you will need to write your own compilator to do that
01:17:27LinusNpetur: it is also stored in ram, so you can view it and save it to disk in the debug menu
01:17:29mirakno ?
01:17:45linuxstbYou mean to move code in and out of iram?
01:17:47peturhelps a lot if it doesn't boot :(
01:17:55miraklinuxstb: yes
01:18:08linuxstbNo, I'm sure there are tricks to make that possible.
01:19:15miraklinuxstb: by moving the code of the size of the struct of the function into iram then using
01:19:33mirakthe variable that point to that iram place
01:20:19mirakseems doable like that as far as I have understand what it's possible to do with C
01:21:01amiconnI doubt that moving code will give any speed improvement, I'd expect the opposite
01:21:28mirakamiconn: for code that acces to slow ram or iram data ?
01:21:40amiconn_any_ code
01:22:03mirakwhat lead you to that conclusion ? (just want to learn more)
01:22:06amiconn(1) While moving, the code is treated as data, so there is no caching
01:22:20amiconn(2) After moving, you have to invalidate the icache
01:22:32mirakwhy 2 ?
01:22:52mirakinvalidate what ?
01:23:09amiconn(2) The coldfire has icache, so every code snippet that's run more than once would be cached with high probability
01:23:17amiconnicache == instruction cache
01:23:42amiconnThe last (2) should have been (3)
01:24:16mirakhow does the cpu knows it doing the instruction set more than once ?
01:24:40mirakhow does the cpu knows he is running a particular instruction block more than once ?
01:25:04mirakwell nevermind that's to complicated
01:25:18amiconnIt doesn't know beforehand
01:25:18LinusNmirak: google for "cpu cache"
01:25:50amiconnIt just caches the code it executes, and if it's executed a second time while still in the cache, executes it from there
01:27:07nathanhmirak: you'll need to understand the cache to get video playback
01:27:24peturLinusN: still won't boot without touching the mux pin, so it must be the I2C
01:27:31LinusNok
01:28:05LinusNi had the same strange hang when i tried to enable recording
01:28:26mirakamiconn: I understand the concept, but was wondering how he was knowing he was about to run the same code again to run it inside the cache and not the ram
01:28:31peturwill continue tomorrow. You need the changes I made?

02:32:12LinusNthe sad part is that a line-optimized cpu transfer would be too fast for the lcd
02:32:49LinusNthe dma can do line optimized transfers, but it is too fast at 124mhz
02:33:16PaulJJackP: add the line "72.29.70.124 forums.rockbox.org" to your HOSTS file
02:33:28LinusNand it's the time between transfers that is the problem, so increasing the waitstates doesn't help
02:37:46JackPPaulJ: Yeah, I know, just annoys me
02:38:45LinusNamiconn: a full lcd update takes 6.7ms in 45mhz
02:39:01Weazel_forum works here
02:39:54amiconnLinusN: I mean line-optimised reading from DRAM, then writing to the LCD according to specs (but in the fast mode with multiples of 4 words)

03:28:26dropandhowonderin if you ended up finding the R20 and R22 components on the ticking unit
03:29:34LinusNdropandho: i have measured the ticking board, and the isolation between analog and digital ground is not 100% on the ticking board
03:29:49LinusNi have yet to find out how and why
03:29:52dropandhogot it....i have an odd thought on that one
03:30:05dropandhogot it- thanks for investigating that deeper
03:30:27dropandhoi remember the_winch said that the board was missing R20 and R22....any idea?
03:30:35dropandho(that is theboard u have)
03:30:38LinusNnot really
03:30:49dropandhoodd
03:30:59dropandhois he really missing those?
03:32:30LinusNwell, r20 and r22 is missing on my other board as well
03:32:38aliaskIs the bug about rockbox crashing when the "show files" setting in the quickscreen is set to ID3 database known?
03:32:49LinusNaliask: yes
03:33:01aliaskGoodo then.
03:33:07dropandhoso i wonder if we can find a corolation between these missing spots and the tick
03:33:52LinusNdropandho: i doubt it
03:34:24dropandhomy non-technical thought was that if it is the interference b/w the analog and the digital ports....maybe there should be a setting to disable the digital when you dont need it...so you can stop the interference...and stop the ticking
03:35:45LinusNthe digital i/o is used to communicate with the remote
03:36:02dropandhocrap!
03:36:03LinusNit's not the s/pdif, if that's what you're thinking
03:36:14dropandhoyes- that was what i was thinkin
03:37:07dropandhowhat a total bummer
03:38:11LinusNi'm suspecting that it's a problem with the pcb itself
03:38:29dropandhoyeah...nothing that any software can mend
03:39:14dropandhowhat did the latest tick-fix add?
03:39:35LinusNfewer lcd updates

06:13:53calbearfanit's very strange, and since it always seems to happen during silence, it seems like it would be some kind of silence detection

06:14:53webguest52Hi, was reading the logs. As far as I know, there's no silence detection.
06:15:09webguest52My guess is that they're doing something funky with the mp3s
06:15:38calbearfanit's consistent for me. actually, now that I think about it, I think I've only tested with a single podcast in a directory. maybe I'll test a bit more
06:15:44scott666yes, use the mailing list
06:15:54webguest52or wait around here
06:17:09webguest52Do you have an url for these mp3s?
06:17:27calbearfanthat might make sense (something funky with the mp3s). since it is a standard lead-in, they are probably fusing it together with the content, maybe in a nonstandard way.
06:17:42webguest52That's what I'm guessing
06:17:57calbearfanthen maybe it wouldn't be silence, just a screwed up portion of the mp3

08:40:50Bgeryep
08:41:07ashridahrockbox doesn't have support for it yet, but i imagine someone will be insane enough to try eventually :)
08:41:14scott666yeah
08:41:21CtcpIgnored 5 channel CTCP requests in 13 minutes and 31 seconds at the last flood
08:41:21*Bger has insane plans ...
08:41:45scott666is the HD upgradable for either?
08:41:56Bgeryes
08:42:02ashridahnot really.
08:42:07scott666heh
08:42:16Bgerthe 40GB models are upgradable to 60GB atm, but 80GB are coming
08:42:27Bgerand 20GB models are upgradable to 40GB
08:42:28ashridahnot to the degree that one can do it for the archos's, you need special screw drivers
08:42:32scott666oh right, they use 1.8" disks
08:42:32ashridahbut it can and has been done
08:42:49scott666how special?
08:43:09Bgerscott666 the form factor is more special
08:43:15ashridahjust a set of star screwdrivers.
08:43:21Bgeri mean, this is not the standard laptop 2.5" drive
08:43:26scott666yeah
08:43:28ashridahmisticriver.net has info on the procedure iirc
08:43:40scott666ok, ill look around there
08:43:54Bgerbut the drives are expensive
08:44:19scott666yeah
08:44:37scott666i should be able to live with 40gb
08:54:35scott666right
08:54:41scott666so any idea where i can actually buy one?

09:07:24scott666why does a several year old player cost more than a brand new video ipod? :-/
09:07:47Bagderthe rockbox effect! ;-)
09:08:32scott666that effect being that rockbox only runs on players that have been discontinued?
09:08:39scott666:-p

10:08:50preglowit's progressing steadily
10:08:56Bgerwebguest02 nano and colour for now
10:08:58preglowwe might have sound pretty sooon
10:09:11webguest02yea
10:09:23preglowsince the arm cores seem to be surprisingly fast
10:09:32Membrilloi got one of the new videos a couple of weeks ago
10:09:41preglowLinusN: didn't you get some docs for some ifp cpu from someone at some time?
10:09:49webguest02There is one thing I am concerned. iPod doesn't use drag and drop to transfer files to the device, you have to use iTunes. So when Rockbox does work on the iPod you still have to use iTunes?
10:10:04LinusNpreglow: yes, from philips
10:10:14preglowwhat core?
10:10:19Membrillono, it will most likely use a different database system that doesnt use the itunes_DB
10:10:41LinusNbut those docs don't tell much about the cpu itself, mainly about the api to their audio framework
10:10:41webguest02I like the black version of the iPod
10:11:00Membrillodoes anyone know how you update the iPod firmware though? is it easily possible?
10:11:00preglowLinusN: riight, but is still of use?
10:11:14preglowMembrillo: hell yes
10:11:20preglowMembrillo: you mean the official firmware?
10:11:27Bagderwebguest02: so far, you can't even use the itunes approach for rockbox on ipod
10:11:34webguest02Also is it possible to repairi a broken headphone socket if the sound only comes out of one side?
10:11:37preglowBagder: should we ever support that? :-)
10:11:42webguest02yea i know bagder, but I was just wondering
10:11:42BagderI doubt it
10:11:47Membrilloi dont really know much about ipods. Is it easy to flash firmware?
10:11:51webguest02iTunes is a horrible program
10:12:00preglowBagder: well, it is possible. there is this libitunesdb
10:12:07Bagderright
10:12:08preglowMembrillo: you don't flash
10:12:16preglowMembrillo: it's completely disk based
10:12:28preglowMembrillo: which is good, because it makes it almost impossible to brick an ipod
10:12:29 Part scott666
10:12:29Membrilloreally? the ipod FW is disk based... interesting
10:12:39Bagderlike the good old Archos
10:12:43Membrillowhat if you deleted the fw? that would brick it
10:12:45preglowMembrillo: god knows i've tried, and i haven't succeeded yet
10:12:50preglowBagder: apart from being even a bit more clever
10:12:56preglowBagder: you can brick an archos pretty easily, yeah?
10:12:56BagderMembrillo: not at all, the bootloader is in flash
10:12:58webguest02I like to see how iPodbox handles the clickwheel interface
10:13:04Bagderpreglow: no
10:13:05preglowahh
10:13:06preglowok
10:13:10preglowso exactly like ipod, htne
10:13:17preglowthen <-
10:13:30Bagderpreglow: the difference is that the Archos had an internal version in case it found no disk-based
10:13:36preglowahh, right
10:13:46preglowipod's got the disk mode
10:13:54Membrillodoes the ipod wheel respond to tapping in certain locations, or do you have to drag across for a response
10:13:55preglowand the diagnostics
10:14:06preglowMembrillo: drag, but it's not impossible to code tapping support
10:14:22LinusNpreglow: i believe i gave him the docs i had
10:14:46preglowbtw
10:14:52preglowdecoding oggs on a 60mhz arm???
10:14:54Membrillopreglow, so would it be possible to be, for example, holding on left?
10:14:58preglowthat's pretty hardcore
10:15:10Membrilloand get a continuous left response
10:15:23preglowMembrillo: possible, yes, but i don't think it's a very good idea
10:15:26Membrillolike holding a button
10:15:43Membrillowhy? it would be good for games, rather than scrolling around all the time
10:15:45preglowMembrillo: usually it's a bit hard to press a button by accident, but just brushing the wheel is enough for it to register it as a press
10:15:53 Quit webguest02 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
10:15:57preglowMembrillo: btw, holding might not work
10:16:06preglowMembrillo: it might just register one press, then nothing more
10:16:10Membrilloah ok
10:16:27Membrilloi guess alternatives are still coming out

10:37:12tathamoddiei installed the bootloader
10:37:14tathamoddieworks fine
10:37:25tathamoddiei can see that screen ... and i can revert back to iriver
10:37:50tathamoddiebut in a stupid case of me not reading the doco very well i didnt copy the .rockbox and rockbox.iriver files to the root
10:37:57tathamoddieso it has the bootloader but not the software
10:38:07tathamoddiemeaning it always defaults to iriver firmware
10:38:17tathamoddienow the device wont mount as a hard drive though in win xp
10:38:26tathamoddieyou plug in the USB cable and it just says "Charging"

10:39:17tathamoddieyou really do rock
10:39:39nathanhok, so im trying to grok gwps... i can see the parsing code that loads a .wps file into wps_data
10:39:58nathanhi dont grok the relationship between the parsed code and wps_refresh
10:40:18Bagderthe wps code is hairy
10:40:33nathanhis the contents of wps_data a linear representation of the .wps file?
10:40:46Bagderyes I believe it is
10:40:46nathanhso if i iterate over the array of lines, its the same thing as iterating over the .wps file?
10:41:03Bagderexcept that it has skipped comments etc
10:41:15nathanhwhat i want to do is stick a new tag in for color and add a routine to wps_refresh that changes foreground/background
10:41:28nathanhwhich i think will be simpler than adding a new parameter to every existing tag
10:41:47Bagdersounds fair
10:41:52LinusNpreglow: i just studied the SAA7750 data sheets some more, and it doesn't seem like the EPICS7A core is meant to do codec tasks
10:41:55nathanhive dotted lcd_set_foregrounds around the code inside wps_refresh and ive got a funky looking colour display already
10:42:01nathanhbut its not very useful like that
10:42:34LinusNit looks more like postprocessing, like ultrabass, eq and stuff
10:42:44nathanhok, so what i dont understand is where wps_refresh interprets the tags
10:43:03nathanhi see the flags variable, but i dont see how that relates to the tags

10:53:00preglowLinusN: but yeah, the propaganda sheets say they can be usde for decompressing audio and for postprocessing
10:53:13nathanhis that perhaps the cause of the ticking sound that happened with the earlier iriver h300 firmwares and the lcd remotes?
10:53:18preglowLinusN: a 100mips dsp core should indeed be good and solid for decoding audio
10:53:40LinusNwould be nice

11:21:23LinusNthe problem with the fast ram mode seems to be that it updates the GRAM pointer wrong
11:24:09LinusNprobably because the CS is negated for every word

11:38:49*preglow reads up on doxygen
11:39:47amiconnLinusN: (1) Is it essential that the burst write is exactly 4 words, or can it be longer? (2) If you enable the BSTW bit for CS1, does the coldfire still negate CS between words?
11:40:08LinusNamiconn: it must be a multiple of 4
11:40:20amiconn(3) Does the LCD controller use the address bits?
11:40:44LinusN2) I don't know, i'll check
11:41:03amiconnIf the answers are 1-yes, 2-no and 3-no, it should be possible to use line bursts for LCD write
11:41:08LinusN3) yes, A1 is used for register select
11:41:24amiconnbah
11:41:36LinusNanyway, that doesn't matter, since the bursts are too fast
11:41:53amiconnEven with the appropriate number of wait states?
11:42:29LinusNthe wait states isn't the problem
11:42:42LinusNit's the time *between* writes that is the problem

11:55:27linuxstbnathanh: The information about a scrolling line is stored in a "struct scrollinfo" (defined in export/lcd.h). This doesn't include bg/fg colours - which is why I think scrolling will probably not work as you intend.

12:02:48linuxstbRegarding scrolling, try setting a WPS with two scrolling lines, each using different fg/bg colours.
12:03:14nathanhaye, trying that now
12:03:59*amiconn wonders why a burst write with the appropriate number of wait states can be too fast
12:04:51nathanhboo, its a showstopper, all scrolling lines = color of last line in wps
12:06:09amiconnYes of course
12:06:10linuxstbI think it's relatively easy to fix. You need to add bgcolor and fgcolor to the scrollinfo struct in export/lcd.h (only for targets that have colour LCDs), change the LCD code to store and retrieve the colours from there for scrolling lines.
12:06:17amiconnScrolling needs rework
12:06:36nathanhaye, ill do that
12:06:54amiconnlinuxstb: That seems like a half-hearted fix to me
12:07:09linuxstbWhy?
12:07:27linuxstbThe scrollinfo struct should contain all info needed to draw the line.
12:07:30nathanhid rather work it so scrolling lines were rendered as part of format_display
12:08:39amiconnlinuxstb: Yes, but the line based scrolling is too unflexible, plus I'd want some more attributes (like bold/ italic flags)
12:08:51nathanhhrm, i like the cut of your jib
12:09:09preglow:/
12:09:15linuxstbamiconn: Is there any other solution apart from extending the scrollinfo struct to contain those extra attributes?
12:09:17preglowthen we need italic and bold fonts loaded all the time as well
12:09:30preglowcommence designing the new font system, someone
12:09:37amiconnnathanh: The scrolling has to be done in a separate thread if we don't want it really jumpy. That's the reason why it is part of the driver
12:09:37preglowi want to be able to use several fonts at one time
12:09:44linuxstbWe already have a glyph cache IIUC.
12:09:46nathanhformat_display is too slow to render each frame?
12:09:57amiconnpreglow: Algorithmic emboldening/ italicising
12:10:37amiconnnathanh: It might be slow, but the main point is that the scrlling has to be handled in regular intervals
12:10:59preglowamiconn: that's never pretty
12:10:59nathanhso thats gui_wps_refresh?
12:11:29preglowamiconn: you can't italicise a font algorithmically, just slant it
12:11:32preglowamiconn: italic != slanted
12:11:40amiconnYes I know
12:11:49nathanhstrikes me that the colors will have to be stored in the format_lines
12:12:41XavierGrHello all! Yes it's midday right now here :)
12:12:53LinusNamiconn: the wait states only define the time that CS is low
12:12:53Bger;)
12:13:17LinusNbut you can't control how long it should take until the next access is started
12:13:32amiconnLinusN: For bursts, CS is low during the whole burst access according to the datasheet
12:13:39LinusNso the CS-low period is nice and long, but the CS-high period is too short
12:14:35LinusNyes, but that probably only works if the target address is auto-incremented
12:14:44LinusNand burst is enabled
12:16:14LinusNin my current dma setup, the sdram data is read in 16-byte bursts, and written with 8 consecutive word writes
12:16:35LinusNand that fails because the time between the writes is too short
12:17:22amiconnDoes the DMA controller allow burst writes without address increment?
12:17:52LinusNthe bursts are not controlled by the dma controller
12:18:16LinusNi just tell it to read entire lines from the source, and the sdram controller does the bursting
12:18:45amiconnWhat if you enable burst write for CS1 and use DMA?
12:18:55LinusNwill try
12:21:05 Join edx [0] (i=edx@p54A87573.dip.t-dialin.net)
12:21:17linuxstbamiconn: If adding bgcolor and fgcolor to the scrollinfo struct is "half-hearted", what do you have in mind?
12:21:33LinusNthe data sheet says that bursts are only done if the destination data size is larger than the chip select data size, i.e a 32-bit write to a 16-bit port
12:21:59LinusNand then the cs controller increases the address
12:22:01LinusNdamn!
12:22:28LinusNwhy couldn't they have put regsel on a higher address pin?
12:24:42LinusNamiconn: so i guess we'll have to try the movem/move/swap hack
12:27:23nathanhlinuxstb: the scroll thread redraws the string each time
12:27:36nathanhwith an optional pixel offset based on the current scroll state
12:28:09nathanhhow about storing the entire string rendered offscreen and blitting the required x/y/w/h of it onscreen
12:28:28nathanhthat way the string can be rendered in its desired color ahead of time
12:28:42linuxstbnathanh: That will require a lot more memory for the scroll buffers.
12:28:49nathanhalso means we could scroll bitmaps
12:28:54Bagderand it doesn't handle transparancy
12:29:11nathanhit could handle transparency with an alpha channel (even a 1bit channel)
12:29:15Bagdertrue
12:30:32linuxstbCurrently the scrolling code can handle 26 lines, each containing 255 characters using any size font.
12:30:42linuxstbThat's a large bitmap.
12:31:30nathanhat the very least id like to try blitting the onscreen bitmap to the left/right, then only rendering the bit that needs to be re-rendered
12:32:38Bagderunless there's a bg pic ;-)
12:32:59nathanhblah
12:33:39Bagdermy cell phone has a bg picture present in all screens and it looks nice
12:33:55linuxstbmy cell phone has a bg picture present in all screens and it looks horrible
12:34:02Bagderhaha
12:34:09preglowmine has a bg on the main screen
12:34:15preglowlooks horrible, but that's thanks to me
12:34:47nathanhthe current scrolling code flickers because it does lcd_fillrect followed by lcd_putsxyofs
12:35:01nathanhif it rendered offscreen then blitted onscreen, it would not flicker
12:35:13LinusNnathanh: why would that flicker?
12:35:15linuxstbIt probably flickers because the lcd update is slow.
12:35:45LinusNnathanh: all lcd drawing is done offscreen
12:35:49linuxstbnathanh: The LCD is only written do during an lcd_update()
12:35:55linuxstbs/do/to/
12:36:03nathanhahh, ok
12:36:10nathanhso its flickering because its a cheaparse lcd :-)
12:36:19LinusNlol
12:36:36LinusNno, it's a cheaparse engineer who connected the lcd on the pcb

12:38:30aliaskWow this is so deep... and pointless.
12:38:37nathanhim looking at puts_scroll, you can supply arbitrary xpos/ypos, thats the top-left corner
12:38:42Bgerthe last was not said as something funny ...
12:38:55nathanhbut i dont see a value for a clip window... does it render right up to the right edge?
12:40:43nathanhblh, i see that it does
12:41:06nathanhso you can have a scroll that extends from halfway on the screen to the right edge of the screen
12:41:16nathanhbut you cant have a scroll that is completely detached from both edges of the screen

13:18:14nathanhgapless playback, 7 seconds ontime, its so much better than the original firmware
13:18:15BgerCassandra i think that even h300 port is pretty usable atm
13:18:23preglownothing like a big multiplatform mess to round off the day
13:18:40Bagdertucoz: we did focus on more than one Archos player from day 1
13:18:45ZagorCassandra: absolutely. I'm just glad people are taking time to try the effort, even if most probably won't complete.
13:18:55CassandraBger, I'd agree with that. If it plays music, it's pretty much useable. Although I don't regard the H300 port as particularly different from the H100.
13:18:57tucozBagder, ok. Not like Linux then.
13:19:11CassandraCertainly no more so that the Recorder port was from the player.
13:19:18nathanhlinux was never multiplatform
13:19:26nathanhthe first version linus even said "this will only ever be for i386"
13:19:33Bgerheh
13:19:38Zagortucoz: that is the reason the two dirs "apps" and "firmware"
13:19:43tucozyes, I've read that discussion. Funny.
13:19:52tucozZagor, I see.
13:19:56nathanhwhats the res of the h300 screen
13:20:10Bgerwhat ? the same LCD controller on h300, nano and photo?
13:20:12Bgernathanh 220x176
13:20:27nathanhthx
13:20:42Bgernathanh see the DeviceChart topic in the wiki
13:20:57Bagderit would be neat to have the ipod color and nano added to that
13:21:10CassandraI didn't realise the Nano LCD controller was the same as the H300.
13:21:35CassandraBagder: I should be able to give that a little more time after Christmas.
13:21:53CassandraAlthough my low level skills are weak and puny.
13:22:12Cassandra(Well, in the new year, really)
13:22:41preglowit'll be playing audio by then, mark my words!
13:22:54*Bger writes down
13:22:55CassandraUh-huh.
13:23:15preglowwell, at least if the arm core is as powerful as it looks like right now
13:23:17linuxstbpreglow: Assuming we can fix the ATA problem.
13:23:23preglowlinuxstb: what at problem?
13:23:27CassandraThis is my unconvinced face. It doesn't come over well on IRC, I'm afraid.
13:23:42linuxstbpreglow: You told me that the ATA driver doesn't work properly.
13:23:47linuxstb(on the nano)
13:24:52CassandraAh, is that why I can't boot the original firmware then?
13:25:04linuxstbNo, I think that's a different problem. I'm still investigating.
13:25:13preglow09:37 < preglow> linuxstb: btw, i've figured out why disk accesses sometimes work and sometimes not. it turns out it never works after the spin down time has been exceeded
13:25:38Bagderyes, the flash spinning down can't be good ;-P
13:25:41linuxstbOK, so how do we fix it? Never spin down the disk on the Nano?
13:25:42Cassandralinuxstb, if you want any testing done, mail me or grab me when I'm around.
13:25:52preglowlinuxstb: sounds like a good temp solution to me :-)
13:26:07Bgerone less thread on nano ? :)
13:26:42linuxstbpreglow: OK, I'll look at that and give you a new ata.c to try.
13:26:49CassandraI'd have thought that an instruction to spin down the flash'd just do nothing, myself.
13:27:01preglowCassandra: it might and it might not
13:27:08preglowCassandra: it might have some power preservation function, for example
13:27:29Bagderand obviously it does something
13:27:37Cassandra*nod*
13:27:54preglowbrb
13:27:55CassandraI guess a trawl through the iPodLinux ata code may be in order.
13:32:07 Part tucoz ("Leaving")
13:33:32preglowwell, it's based on ipl code as is
13:34:20 Part Petur
13:35:11linuxstbpreglow: As a quick test, I think you could remove the call to create_thread() in drivers/ata.c, and also remove the queue_post() call in ata_sleep() in the same file.
13:35:24linuxstbThat should prevent the sleep code from ever being called.
13:35:55preglowwill afterwards
13:38:18stevebok. if you were going to buy an mp3 player right now which one would it be? and it has to have >30GB of space...
13:38:41nathanhanybody who is interested, the colorised wps patch is up on sf
13:39:10nathanhsteveb: right now, id buy the iriver h340, cos it runs rockbox!
13:39:26nathanhbut if it didnt run rockbox, i wouldnt recommend the h340
13:39:31stevebheh cool. i used to own an h340.
13:39:34stevebthey are pretty sweet
13:39:43stevebhaving a hard time finding people who sell them in the uk tho
13:39:48nathanhcrappy startup time, no gapless, otherwise they're ok
13:39:52linuxstbsteveb: The best Rockbox target at the moment is the H140 - but they are discontinued.
13:40:10stevebyeh
13:40:21stevebi see that the h340 rockbox stuff is coming on quite fast tho
13:41:17stevebnathanh: start up time doesnt bother me... once its running its running
13:41:55nathanhrockbox on the h340 is great... when i stop the car to duck into the shops, it pauses, when i restart the car, within 2 seconds it has resumed
13:42:15stevebheh cool.
13:42:33linuxstbThe only other choices are the iAudio X5 (port planned, but not really started yet), and the iPod (but not the new video iPod - the version just before that model)
13:42:33steveboh for the record, trying to install flash linux to a partition on the h340 is a Bad Thing (tm)
13:42:42stevebfuck the iPod...
13:42:47stevebi hate those things
13:43:05stevebi do not see why people like that silly wheel thing so much
13:43:30stevebill check out some h340 prices
13:43:42preglowclick wheel = lovely
13:44:08markunsteveb: more control over the scroll speed than with buttons maybe
13:44:26stevebmaybe... it just annoys me
13:46:08HypnoticMonkeyits not very intuitive to scroll downwards by making a semi circle as far as im concerned. i feel that vertical touch pads are superior.
13:46:37preglowi think it's very intuitive
13:46:41preglowplus, it's more efficient
13:46:51preglowanyway, it's just a preference
13:46:58preglowuse whatever floats your boat

13:48:15stevebno one seems to be selling the ones with the remote any more :-/
13:48:34linuxstbpreglow: I don't know why, but enabling dircache on my ipod caused it to stop booting up.
13:49:13nathanhive had lockup problems on the h340/rockbox with dircache on
13:49:23nathanhrequiring a reset with a pin
13:49:32preglowbtw
13:49:42preglowthe clock now overwrites the hd indicator in the status bar
13:49:45preglowany way to fix that?
13:49:49linuxstbnathanh: When did it lock up?
13:50:09nathanha few seconds after the thing booted
13:50:11linuxstbpreglow: I guess the ipod is the first target with both a clock and virtual LED. The h300 will have the same problem though.
13:50:20nathanhso you can feel the disk chattering away, building the dircache
13:50:22nathanhand a song is playing
13:50:25nathanhthen it just locks solid
13:50:41linuxstbpreglow: I guess it's a simple fix in the status bar code.
13:50:47Zagorthat's because dircache is evil ;-)
13:51:24preglowdircache is god
13:51:31preglowa very gentle and nice god
13:51:38nathanhdircache is awesome, disk doesnt spin up when you move around the tree
13:51:40preglowrockbox without dircache is a pain to use
13:51:47nathanhthats a zillion times better than iriver firmware
13:52:17linuxstbnathanh: So building the cache at the same time as playback causes problems for you sometimes?
13:52:19nathanhi adore the fadeout/fadein when you pause... i owe a beer to whomever wrote that
13:52:28nathanhlinux: yeah, not all the time, just once in a while
13:56:30Slasherinathanh: that is probably caused by too long file names
13:56:47Slasherirecent unicode patch broke rockbox's support with long files
13:57:11 Quit Kohlrabi (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
13:57:51nathanhahh, k
13:58:11nathanhis anybody working on gui code? id like to collaborate
13:58:33nathanhim looking at these screens -> http://www.mygigabeat.com/2005/05/screen-photos-of-gigabeat-f40.html <- and i want my rockbox to look the same :-)
13:59:08preglowSlasheri: why hasn't that been fixed yet? should be trivial
14:00
14:00:18Slasheripreglow: yes, but i don't know.. That doesn't matter whether the dircache is enabled or not.. When you encounter a long file name (for example browsing directories), rockbox instantly hangs needing to reset
14:00:27aliasknathanh: Maybe not look the same, but have the same amount of configureability.
14:00:37preglowyes, i know, why hasn't it been fixed in rockbox?
14:02:14linuxstbSlasheri: What do you mean by too long? You mean longer than MAX_PATH after being converted to utf-8 ?
14:02:25Slasheripreglow: i think the problem was that increasing MAX_PATH would also increase stack sizes.. But something has to be done on the file system level if it exceeds the MAX_PATH limit
14:02:46Slasherilinuxstb: yes, something like that. I don't know exactly what triggers the crash
14:02:56Slasherionly that long file names causes it
14:03:43nathanhwhy not use dynamically sized strings, rather than an array of [MAX_PATH+1]
14:03:52linuxstbpreglow: Try http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/statusbar.diff
14:03:53preglowwe don't do dynamic allocation
14:04:04nathanhwhy not
14:04:09Bgerurgh, this must go in the genreal FAQ
14:04:10Slasherithat would require to use dynamic memory allocation and it is not currently implemented
14:04:14*Bagder prepares for the why-not-malloc talk ;-)
14:04:20preglownathanh: because we would have to reserve the max amount of memory anyway
14:04:27preglownathanh: we might as well just do it statically
14:04:41preglowsomeone desperately needs to put up a faq entry on this
14:04:55*nathanh fears he has struck a nerve
14:05:01Bagderhehe
14:05:09Bagdernathanh: we have this conversation with all newcomers
14:05:13linuxstbnathanh: It's a question every new dev asks.
14:05:27Bgernathanh see, we want to use all available memory for buffer
14:05:29nathanhso its a frequently asked question
14:05:33preglowoh yes
14:05:34Bgeryep
14:05:38nathanhif only there was some easy to deal with these frequently asked questions :-)
14:05:49linuxstbIt's already patented
14:06:31nathanhso the buffer cant be dynamically resized, so theres no point in dynamically resizing whats left
14:06:33nathanhis that the argument?
14:07:05preglownathanh: the argument is that if we were to have malloc, we also need to have a malloc buffer, which would mean we can't use that memory for file buffer anyway, so there's no point
14:07:15preglownathanh: in practice, we would use _more_ memory than if we had used static allocation
14:08:00FebsCan anyone tell me what causes the "failed to load archos/_temp_codec.dll" error on the sim? I searched the IRC logs and saw this asked a few times, but never answered.
14:08:01Slasherinathanh: the main problem is the fragmentation of memory, but that could be voided with refreshing the memory pointers
14:08:17preglowSlasheri: i don't see that as the main problem at all, the main problem is that it's pointless
14:08:29 Quit tathamoddie ()
14:08:31Slasheripreglow: hmm, true
14:09:02preglowSlasheri: you a) end up having to worry about memory leaks, b) will use more memory for malloc buffer than you did for static buffers in the first place
14:09:13preglowSlasheri: two negatives and no gains
14:09:23preglowplus, the code gets bigger
14:09:26nathanhnot having dynamic heap is gonna make it hard to implement compositing
14:09:33nathanhwhich is my personal interest for coding
14:09:39preglowno, it's not
14:09:43preglowyou just grab as much memory as you need
14:09:48Slasheriunless we would use that malloc buffer almost for everything allocation, then it would become more effective. But then we would have performance problems and the memory leaks
14:09:52preglowif you think you might need a megabyte, then you grab a megabyte
14:09:57Slasheripreglow: yes
14:10:00nathanhdepends on the wps is the problem
14:10:13nathanha wps with a dozen bitmaps might need 100kb, with a 100 bitmaps might need 1mb
14:10:16Bgernathanh you can ask for the audio buffer
14:10:34Bgerhmm, but yes not for the wps
14:10:36preglowSlasheri: space-wise, using malloc will never be more effective than using static buffers, unless you're willing to run the risk of having malloc return NULL sometimes
14:10:41nathanhim guessing the audio buffer must be contiguous
14:11:17Slasheripreglow: yep, or we could just block the malloc until it succeeded (with the risk of dead-locking whole system)
14:11:21preglowyes...
14:11:26preglowin the end, i can't see any reason
14:11:35preglowif i don't have to use malloc, i'm all the merrier
14:11:35nathanhstatic allocation upfront certainly makes the system easier to debug
14:11:41preglowi hate having to free stuff
14:12:07preglowand why the hell people actually _want_ malloc, is beyond me
14:12:09preglowyou're all crazy!
14:12:11preglowi mean !!!
14:12:26nathanhhehehe
14:12:29Bgerhehehe
14:12:31*nathanh regrets asking
14:12:32Bger:)
14:12:51preglowwe currently waste half a meg on malloc buffer for codecs :///
14:12:57Bgernathanh the problem is not that u ask, but that nearly everyone asks ...
14:12:58preglowi'm sure that can be cut down on, though
14:13:09preglowBger: and that i see it as blatantly obvious...
14:13:22Bgerheh
14:13:28nathanhone benefit of a truly dynamic system - audio buffer too - is that the audio buffer could be a bit larger
14:13:36Bgerbtw, what's the interface between the h300's lcd and cpu ?
14:13:36preglowi wonder if i ever asked about this once upon a time
14:13:36Bagderno way
14:13:38preglowcan't remember it now
14:13:41nathanhbut i guess it dont matter too much
14:13:46preglownathanh: no it wouldn't
14:13:50preglownathanh: it would be smaller
14:13:54Bagderindeed
14:13:56nathanhhows that
14:14:04preglowbecause you have to reserve more memory for the malloc buffer
14:14:06nathanhbecause of the overhead?
14:14:19nathanhof storing the free list?
14:14:20linuxstbYou don't want a malloc to fail - so you have to keep the memory unused.
14:14:24Bgerpreglow except the case when the audio buffer is dynamic also
14:14:27nathanho i c
14:14:31preglowbecause of a) you can't ever be sure how much memory is going to be allocated, so you're going to have to overdesign the limit a bit. b) fragmentation will assure that you need even more space for the buffer
14:14:54Bgerbut yes, b)...
14:15:19Bgeragain
14:15:20preglowthe malloc support data itself is also another matter
14:15:32preglowmalloc also makes it difficult to use iram
14:15:33Slasherianother way could be to wait memory to be freed from the audio buffer, and then malloc that.. :)
14:15:34Bgerwhat's the connection between the lcd and cpu in h300 ?
14:15:35preglowso there !!!
14:15:41Bgerparallel or SPI
14:15:49linuxstbSlasheri: Stop!!! :)
14:15:51nathanhhahaha
14:15:52Slasherihehe :D
14:16:02BgerSlasheri : that was what i wanted to say
14:16:08preglowwould be the best status message ever
14:16:21nathanhdo the .rock files have pre-alloc as well?
14:16:29preglowhaving to wrap every malloc with a lcd_puts that says "Trying to malloc, stand by!!!"
14:16:39preglownathanh: yes
14:16:40linuxstbUnless the status message scrolled, in which case you would have no memory to scroll it...
14:16:41Bgernathanh there are 768kb reserved for plugins
14:16:44Bgeron irivers
14:16:49Bagder"no memory received yet, we continue to wait..."
14:17:06nathanhwhere should i look to see the memory map
14:17:19linuxstbapps/rockbox.map in your build directory.
14:17:19Bgernathanh u can also get the audiobuffer from a plugin
14:17:24nathanhthx
14:17:39Bgerplugin_get_buffer or something simillar
14:18:00Bgeramiconn ?
14:18:02linuxstbBger: That gets what is left out of the 768kb. There is also get_audio_buffer() or similar.
14:18:45nathanhthat gapless on an ogg album is just _perfect_
14:18:50Bgerlinuxstb u mean what lefts after loading the code of the plugin
14:18:50mirakit's a choice to not have the function headears in the .h ?
14:19:08linuxstbBger: Yes - code and static data
14:19:17Bgeruf, yes
14:21:32nathanhinteresting, a long list of albums scrolls faster when music is playing than when its stopped
14:21:39nathanhim guessing that cpu_burst isnt enabled for list scrolling
14:22:34linuxstbnathanh: Correct. It will be sad if the CPU needs to be boosted just for the GUI code.
14:22:52nathanhit does need to be; button press events when holding the button occur faster than it can scroll
14:23:02nathanhor it needs scroll skipping
14:23:18nathanhcurrently the events queue up and when you let go of the button, it keeps scrolling for a few seconds
14:23:23preglowhehe
14:23:32preglowcredits also scroll faster with music playing
14:24:06linuxstbnathanh: The alternative is to speed up the gui code.
14:24:06 Quit HypnoticMonkey ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
14:24:35preglowlinuxstb: i wonder how we should handle that with click wheel scrolling
14:24:43preglowlinuxstb: will be very awkward if that is boost dependant
14:25:35nathanhneeds skip; the location in the list is determined by the button presses, but what the list displays is a best effort
14:25:56linuxstbI'm thinking the button driver could send page_down events.
14:26:43linuxstbDid you say that the hardware seems to have its own button queue?
14:27:10nathanhdunno, when i let go of the button it keeps scrolling for a bit
14:27:21nathanhand if i hold the down button, then let go and press left
14:27:28nathanhit scrolls for a bit and then jumps up a level in the tree
14:27:29linuxstbnathanh: Sorry, I was talking to preglow about the iPod :)
14:27:34Bgernathanh regarding scrolling: do you know that u can scroll one "page" at a time if you hold down the play button while pressing up/down
14:27:45nathanhwell that's obvious!!!

14:52:07Bgerbtw, i think it should be possible...
14:52:23mirakit would be cool
14:52:43linuxstbIt's a question for Linus when he's next around.
14:54:03linuxstbI need to explore the same issues on the ipod - but the ipod does UMS in software so it should be more flexible.
14:54:28preglowit does?
14:54:45linuxstbI'm pretty sure it's a routine in flash.
14:55:13markunDoesn't the only have code to go into charging mode when you press a key and insert the USB cable?
14:55:13mirakwow the codec api seems tuff

14:55:20linuxstbAlso, the ipod appears in Linux with a hard disk model name of "ipod" - not the real hard disk model name.
14:55:36linuxstbSo something odd is going on somewhere.

14:59:32miraklinuxstb: yes ... I have no global view of what happens
14:59:51miraklinuxstb: some info would be welcolme. Maybe you can tell me where to look first
14:59:55mirakin the code
14:59:57linuxstbYes, the existing codec api will work perfectly well for video with virtually no changes.
15:00
15:00:01BgerJungti1234__ ?
15:00:09linuxstbYou will just need a way to disable the display of the WPS.
15:00:16miraklinuxstb: you mean all the buffering part
15:00:20linuxstbYes.
15:00:24mirakgreat
15:00:45Jungti1234__hmm..
15:01:05linuxstbThe playback code is responsible for loading the data from disk and buffering it. You basically just access it as a stream via read() commands.
15:01:23Jungti1234__Do you want translation?
15:01:24linuxstbAnd you have a function you can call to send audio data to the DSP.
15:01:50miraklinuxstb: ok. There is some exemple about how to use xvid, the interface is quiet simple
15:01:57linuxstbIf it isn't there already, you will need to add the lcd functions to the codec api so you can write to the screen.
15:02:19BgerJungti1234__ yes, please
15:02:31linuxstbThe codec API is in apps/codecs.[ch] and the plugin API is in apps/plugin.[ch] - you can copy things that are in the plugin API and make them available to codecs.
15:03:12linuxstbBut you probably just need a pointer to the lcd_framebuffer array, and the lcd_update() function.
15:04:00Jungti1234__hmm
15:04:44linuxstbmirak: Does the decoder read the input data as a stream or does it do a lot of seeking?
15:05:00Jungti1234__Bger: That's abusive.
15:05:17linuxstbIt comes from the firmware of the MPeye MP3 player.
15:05:22BgerJungti1234__
15:05:27Bgerheh, linuxstb said it before me
15:05:34Bgerhaha so abuses in the firmware
15:05:49Jungti1234__a stream of abuse
15:05:58Bgersomething like "why the f*** are you looking here" ? :)
15:06:06Jungti1234__f u c k
15:06:31Jungti1234__Who used such word?
15:06:39preglowhaha
15:06:50preglowsome witty engineer who just stringed along some curse words
15:07:05Jungti1234__He is bad guy.
15:07:12preglowlike skeletor?
15:07:21linuxstbThat's what using malloc does to you.
15:07:22Zagorooh, nasty. illinstr during playback in archos version 2.5.
15:07:36miraklinuxstb: that's a stream, you put data from file into a buffer, then you give the buffer begining to the decode function. The decode function returns a used_bytes value that help you to know where you are in the buffer, then you call again the decode function with buffer+used_bytes
15:07:53preglowZagor: easily reproducible?
15:08:11miraklinuxstb: output_data is a parameter that returns the decoded frame

15:08:20Zagoryes, too easy. it happens every time I power up (resume = yes)
15:08:22linuxstbmirak: OK, so you can use the get_buffer() function to get a pointer to data in the codec buffer, and the advance_buffer afterwards to increase the codec buffer pointer by used_bytes.
15:08:35Jungti1234__Did you see?
15:08:39Jungti1234__kkk
15:09:06linuxstbmirak: The only problem is the buffer wraparound point. Do you know the maximum size of data that the decoder will consume?
15:09:09BgerJungti1234__ only non-meaning letters
15:09:23miraklinuxstb: don't know
15:09:53miraklinuxstb: I guess it can't be bigger than a frame size
15:10:03mirakor two frames
15:10:07linuxstbmirak: You will probably need to decide on a maximum value for that.
15:10:28miraklinuxstb: I am not there yet. but any info are welcome
15:11:06miraklinuxstb: it would be usefull to have the function header in the .h file no ?
15:11:07Jungti1234__Ah motherfucker shit pair voice sounds constantly!!!
15:11:17Jungti1234__-_-;
15:11:43Jungti1234__Short word: motherfucker
15:11:48linuxstbThe get_buffer() function is guaranteed to return a pointer to a contiguous buffer containing the number of bytes you request ONLY if you request less than GUARD_BUFSIZE bytes (currently 32kb)
15:12:00Jungti1234__Did you understand?
15:12:15BgerJungti1234__ yes, enough
15:12:26preglowwe should start a library of strings found in firmware
15:12:31preglowi bet there's tons of nice stuff
15:12:32Bgerhahhaha
15:12:33linuxstbmirak: I don't understand your question. Which function(s) are you talking about?

15:12:47Jungti1234__Who said such word?
15:13:06BagderJungti1234: it is from the MPeye music player firmware image
15:13:12Jungti1234__I will scare him.
15:13:26miraklinuxstb: since a .c is associated to a .h, the function in the .c can have their header into the .h. sort of to have the interface
15:13:26Jungti1234__hahaha I know MPeye
15:13:34BgerJungti1234__ we don't know ... someone who has been part of the development team of MPeye
15:13:39Jungti1234__The company became dishonor.
15:13:47miraklinuxstb: rather than searching the functions into the .c files
15:13:58Jungti1234__The company was ruined.
15:14:14Bgerwhat ? are you sure ?
15:14:14miraklinuxstb: I have seen that into xvid code, that's easy to undertand and you can take only what you need
15:14:32Bgermirak afaik same is here
15:14:36Jungti1234__MPeye was ruined!!
15:14:41linuxstbmirak: Only the functions exported from the .c file have their prototypes in the .h file.

15:18:05Zagorcrash-casuing file (on archos rec20 v2.5): http://bjorn.haxx.se/illinstr.mp3
15:18:13miraklinuxstb: I have some question about how it works.
15:18:32miraklinuxstb: for exemple, where is the starting point from the moment you click on an audio file
15:18:41Zagorno time to debug myself, unfortunately
15:18:42mirakI mean where does it start in the code
15:19:49linuxstbmirak: The playback code is in apps/playback.c - but I don't understand it. I only deal with the actual codecs themselves.
15:20:13linuxstbIf you look at the source to some of the codecs in apps/codecs/ then that may give you a better idea.
15:23:26mirakI don't understand how the code is interfaced
15:23:46 Quit g33 ("they call me snyggve because im so snygg")
15:23:53mirakI don't know generally how dynamic libraries works
15:25:25mirakthat's not easy :-/
15:27:07linuxstbThe codec is loaded from disk into memory by the playback code, and then the playback code calls the codec entry function with a pointer to a "struct codec_api". That struct contains pointers to all the "external" functions that the codec can use.
15:27:10mirakok that's all in th struct
15:30:26miraklinuxstb: ok so on e of the job is to have function that interface the codec side with the api right ?
15:31:32mirakok it's clearer now
15:31:42Jungti1234hehe
15:31:43Jungti1234Bger
15:31:59Bgerwhat ?
15:32:09Bgeri mean, yes ?
15:32:22mirakhem so the codec is a thread in itself ?

17:47:08preglowmirak: that's a bloody _GREAT_ idea
17:48:03lamedmay i ask a db question?
17:48:38preglowjust ask
17:50:01 Quit YouCeyE ("Leaving")
17:50:26lamedwith the current db volume system, does increasing the volume by one, increase the output strength by 1 decibel?
17:54:38preglowyes
17:54:42preglowrelative to the previous level
17:54:51lamedso what did it actually did before?
17:55:00preglowsomething more arbitrary
17:55:13preglowi'm not completely certain
17:55:19lamedcould it 'devide' a db?
17:55:23preglowyes
17:55:29lamedwould the hardware alow that? -cool
17:55:31perplexitySo in theory.. at 0db with flat eq it should not clip.. _ever_ ?
17:55:40preglowlamed: the hardware allows finer adjustments than one db
17:55:40lamedi should clip
17:55:48preglowperplexity: correct
17:56:00preglowperplexity: the only clipping will clipping that is already in the audio
17:56:12perplexityOk then.. the natural extension of that says that at -10dB with 10dB Bass gain it should not clip ?
17:56:12preglowinsert 'be' after 'will'æ
17:56:19preglowcorrect
17:56:25perplexityOk.. it does..
17:56:35preglowbut be aware that it may clip _before_ entering the hardware
17:56:40lamedpreglow: so, by what you said now, file audio level could not exceed 0 db right?
17:56:51perplexityand these are clean mp3's/ogg's that play nicely if I crank the vol another 3db down
17:56:57preglowlamed: no, it can't, but it will very often try
17:57:04preglowlamed: resulting in clipping in the decoder, which is a different matter
17:57:08preglowlamed: which can be fixed by replaygaimn
17:57:16 Quit einhirn (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
17:57:32preglowperplexity: yes, but you'd need a software gain control for that
17:57:42preglowcurrently, the only way to fix it is by using replaygain
17:57:51lamedcould a different decorder do it right - without clipping?
17:57:56preglowno
17:58:09preglowyou would have to 1) replaygain, or 2) gain the audio down _before_ encoding
17:58:51perplexityUmm.. ok.. hang on.. what I meant was the track in question is nicely balanced and plays with no distortion if I run it at -13dB with 10dB bass boost.. but with -10dB and 10dB bass boost it clips.. this is a software clip? Where is the eq applied on a h3x0 ?
17:58:57lamedah.. so you mean there is a limitation on the file... which will cause the waveform to be corrupted
17:59:15preglowyes
17:59:40preglowperplexity: no, it wont clip at -10db and 10db bass boost
17:59:43preglowperplexity: it will _just_ not clip
17:59:50lamedand to a different matter: I'm in a hurry, i've made a pitch screen fix. who can accept it... fast please i'm late for a bus
17:59:51preglowperplexity: but that's only the eq we're talking about
18:00
18:00:00preglowlamed: just put in somewhere

18:00:03preglowor dcc it to me
18:00:07perplexityOk.. well it is distorting in some way..
18:00:11lamedhow do i dcc?

18:00:51lamedpreglow: it's down. what's your mailbox...fast...
18:00:57preglowmail it to preglow@gmail.com

18:11:15mirakhem I am a bit stuck on how to integrate the source code to rockbox
18:11:24AcksawHey
18:11:25mirakabout the make etcetera
18:11:53perplexityLook at the way the other codecs do it mirak.. it's not terribly difficult
18:12:30mirakI have some lacunes with make
18:12:47mirakI will try
18:16:21linuxstbpreglow: Are you going to commit your button driver to CVS soon, or can I have a patch? I've optimistically started work on the audio driver...
18:17:15preglowahhh
18:17:18preglowi'll work on it now

18:22:58perplexityHave got it working.. but I'm actually busy learning about the math behind mdct and fft at the moment so I can get serious about optimising.. so I'm away from the code and nose down in the books
18:23:09mirakis flac usable actually ?
18:24:10preglowmirak: usable how?
18:24:12linuxstbOf course.
18:24:22preglowthe format itself is decent, and rockbox support is pretty good
18:24:40lostlogicxperplexity: neat −− way over my head.
18:24:42mirakpreglow: usable in term of power
18:24:47preglowmirak: in term of battery, you mean?
18:24:49preglowmirak: if so: yes
18:24:51linuxstbYou can get about 12-13 hours playback with FLAC
18:24:56mirakpreglow: in term of cpu

18:28:35perplexityI'm living in Dubai now, but I'm Australian
18:28:52perplexityindeed preglow, and you need an interest to make you want to learn.. rockbox has done that nicely
18:29:12preglowyup
18:29:36mirakperplexity: so how old where you exactly when you did fourier ?
18:29:51mirakwere
18:29:56perplexityerr.. about 17
18:30:13perplexitybut it was for my final year physics project, so it's not something the whole school studied
18:31:08mirakthat's pretty much advanced indeed for 17
18:31:17perplexityI was bored :)
18:32:17perplexitymirak back at that time I only understood a little of the math, it was more application of the algorithms.. now I'm learning the math in depth
18:32:42preglowi learnt about ffts and stuff around then
18:32:45preglowbut it was on my spare time
18:32:59preglowtook me a while before i truly understood it, though

18:38:34mirakhem what's the difference between shared and static library ?
18:38:46preglowshared libraries are located in separate files
18:39:02preglowso they don't occupy space in each program that uses them
18:39:40mirakin the case of rockbox it's a static library ?
18:39:55preglowyes
18:40:10preglowno point in implementing shared libs on a platform with just one application :-)
18:40:15preglowshared libraries are bit more inefficient
18:41:00mirakhem I see no configure files in the codecs folders, what's the approach used to "configure"
18:41:25preglowhmm?
18:41:33preglowthere's just one configure, and that's for all of rockbox
18:41:50mirakI have the codec source folder of xvid
18:41:55linuxstbmirak: You need to remove all that autoconf bloat
18:42:25mirakit's all in a buildir, it should be easy
18:42:38mirakhowever recreating something for it to compile ...
18:43:00linuxstbYou should probably run configure once to get a config.h file, and then manually change that config.h file for Rockbox. You should also rename it to something like xvid_config.h
18:43:22linuxstb(to avoid conflicts with Rockbox's own config.h)

19:10:00_FireFly_Mmmm: really ??
19:10:42_FireFly_have you synced with the latest cvs when testing this patch ??
19:11:54MmmmYes!! Its funny how i said that all you had to do was fix that, and all along you already had! Havent synced yet.
19:12:17_FireFly_a nice sideeffect :)
19:12:56MmmmIt certainly is.. hee hee... I cant believe it!
19:13:20_FireFly_i only want to fix the image-flicker and now it seams that it also fix a skipping problem with oggs ;)

20:48:54preglowlike '#define _(x) dothebitswap(x) \n short mycolourtable[] = { _(0xvalue1), _(0xvalue2), ... }
20:49:35preglowwhat would also work is just building the bitmap headers at compile time

20:50:09RotAtoRpreglow: too fancy for me :)
20:50:24Bagdersince the lcd variations are gonna add up even more in the future
20:50:30preglowyup
20:50:37preglowyou'll still have various bitmaps, though
20:50:40preglowsince bitmap size will change
20:50:46Bagdertrue
20:50:52preglowbut yeah, colour wise we'll be fine
20:50:59linuxstb_We will hopefully get another 2-bit greyscale format as well soon with the greyscale ipods
20:51:26preglowbut stuff like differing formats for the same dimension and rough display type will work
20:52:20linuxstb_But does anyone still have the original bitmaps that have been used everywhere? It would mean generating the bmp files for the existing bitmaps
20:52:27preglowand if implemented properly in the build system, it'll be prettier than what we do now anyway
20:52:55preglowlinuxstb_: if not, it's not worse than just making new bmps from the headers

20:57:25preglowthat's archos!
20:57:28markunWe could just add the APEv2 tag support, very easy, but somehow I think some people in here will not like that.
20:57:47dpassen1markun: with unicode supported, it seems that APEv2 tag support should be added
20:57:53_FireFly_markun: why ?
20:57:54preglowmarkun: well, it screws up the tag priority
20:58:07_FireFly_ah right
20:58:36_FireFly_an comprimise would be to only add apev2 support for replay-gain
20:58:40preglowi like apev2, but i think we should not encourage use of it with mp3
20:58:46_FireFly_for mp3-files
20:58:47wubblaisn't the pre-amp option used to increase the perceived "volume"?
20:58:54markunIf people add apev2 tags they should have the highest priority I think
20:58:55preglowwubbla: well, yes...
20:59:11wubblapreglow: this setting doesn't work for me at all
20:59:17preglowwubbla: then replaygain is not enabled
20:59:22dpassen1i'm not even sure why there is an option for ID3 tag priority to be honest
20:59:28wubblapreglow: 0dB and 12dB gives no difference...
20:59:30preglowwubbla: either because you haven't enabled the option, or because rockbox does not use it
20:59:31PcHeRois it difficult to write the archos code of doom to the h120 code

21:04:21dpassen1so raise the volume, -40 is very very low
21:04:30preglowif you want to _increase_ volume, replaygain is not the way to go
21:04:35preglowreplaygain will most often decrease it

21:06:27preglowwubbla says he can't get it to work

21:06:48_FireFly_wubbla: why do you have the volume to a such low level (-40 db) ??
21:06:50PaulJon my h320 replaygain works with mp3, but i have never used the preamp option
21:06:56preglowif preamp doesn't work, that means replgaygain doesn't work
21:07:08Learpreglow: For the small thing I tested, I hadn't checked the which cases were executed most often, so my code wasn't that fast...
21:07:21wubblai might add that i'm using a h320...

21:08:21amiconn(That was not yet possible when this joke was made)
21:08:30dpassen1to test replaygain settings, do you need to restart playback? reboot? or should it take place when the buffer is refilled?
21:08:36Bagderit would have made a more realistic joke
21:08:41LearNope, nothing of the sort.

21:08:58Leardpassen1: you only need to exit the menu..
21:09:07dpassen1so it should take place immediately
21:09:41LearThere's a small delay due to buffering, so after exiting one level in the menu, it can take a few seconds.

21:16:06preglowamiconn: spill it!
21:17:10amiconnWell, the large delays will only occur with crossfade enabled, right? Without crossfade, the PCM buffer is only half a second of audio
21:17:21preglowit's far too long without crossfade as well
21:17:34preglowlonger than half a second
21:17:36amiconnSo we could do the following with sufficiently fast codecs:

21:18:30wubblaLear: yes, i'm aware of that
21:18:31amiconn- Keep the buffer level roughly at half a second during the track. Only fill it completely a short time before track change

22:05:27_FireFly_mirak: yeah many new stuff :)
22:05:31wubblathat might take a while :-D
22:05:36CassandraTheoretically there's no reason why you couldn't include a malloc implementation within a plugin.
22:05:57mirak_FireFly_: ok so as far as I understand, now ld needs to know that libxvid exist to be able to feed the exemple with it ?
22:06:06_FireFly_yepp
22:06:31mirakCassandra: I have read the code, and we could put the buffer static I think we will see
22:06:35_FireFly_the gcc option for this is -l(lower L) and the name of the lib without the lib-prefix and the .so/.a suffix
22:07:00_FireFly_and with -L you give the search patch
22:07:03_FireFly_for libs
22:07:22mirakok so with -L I am not obliged to install the lib
22:07:56_FireFly_gcc -I ../src/ -L ../src -lxvid xvid_decraw.c
22:08:21_FireFly_maybe the libxvid is in a subdir of ../src
22:08:31_FireFly_then you need to change it accordingly
22:08:31DrumRBoy|Awaythis is so cool... i didnt realize USB was supported in RB now... awesome
22:08:45_FireFly_mirak: yepp
22:08:47mirak_FireFly_: yep it's in the builddir
22:08:58_FireFly_mirak: is the lib an *.so or *.a file ??
22:09:13mirakso
22:10:23_FireFly_hmm then you have to install the lib your create an run-script which adds the path to the lib-loder-search path or compile the lib as a static one (*.a)
22:10:32_FireFly_the last would i prefer
22:11:26amiconnThere is no shared library support in rockbox, so static lib is the only option
22:11:27_FireFly_is in the output from configure −−help any line which has static lib(or similar)
22:11:30mirakbut with that, I will able to run the exemple even without the xvidlib installed ?
22:11:53_FireFly_mirak: yepp because static libs are linked into the programm
22:11:59mirakok
22:12:12_FireFly_-> the size grows is bigger then when using dynamic libs
22:12:18_FireFly_-grows
22:12:58_FireFly_mirak: it seams that you have to tell configure to make static-libs instead of dynamic
22:13:16_FireFly_there is normaly an option/parameter for this
22:14:25_FireFly_amiconn: have you yet found some time for the remote-setting patch ??
22:15:25peturanybody familiar with the soft-I2C written for iRiver?
22:15:37mirak_FireFly_: can't find that option
22:16:04_FireFly_can you post somewhere the output of configure −−help ??
22:16:13 Quit nathanh ("Quit")
22:17:25peturhmmmm... If somebody told me the radio on the H1xx works, I wouldn't believe him...
22:17:36_FireFly_petur: why ß?
22:18:14peturthe soft I2C getack() looks wrong... and that's where it hangs on H3xx
22:18:27peturBut it's the same code as the H1xx
22:18:38peturSo I would expect it to be ok
22:18:49_FireFly_petur: really ?
22:18:54 Quit ender` (" cd /pub && get beer")
22:19:02_FireFly_maybe there is something different
22:19:09 Quit Rob2222 (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
22:20:06peturgetack does the same wait loop as ack, meaning it's generating SCL
22:20:21peturthe other soft I2C implementations don't do that at all...
22:20:54_FireFly_petur: maybe the hardware differs in that case
22:21:18mirak_FireFly_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5764
22:21:24_FireFly_so that the code for the h1xx doesn't use the right output/input-pins
22:23:35petur_FireFly_: you mean the radio is connected to other pins? I already changed that, unless Linus measured it wrong (but he double-checked)
22:24:03peturI'm gonna change it and see what it brings :D
22:24:18*petur hopes it brings radio

22:25:27jlohello all
22:25:44_FireFly_petur: if LinusN say that the pins are the same then it that should right
22:26:12_FireFly_jlo: hi
22:26:37petur_FireFly_: he said the pins mentioned in the wiki are correct - they differ from the H1xx
22:26:37 Join ender` [0] (i=ychat@84.52.165.220)
22:27:28_FireFly_petur: or so but maybe the pins must be interchanged
22:27:38petur?
22:27:44mirak_FireFly_: ok I have the .a file
22:27:59_FireFly_also the .so file ??
22:28:12mirakyes both
22:28:26_FireFly_if so then delete the .so file or move it
22:28:33amiconnpetur: The comments tells you why the loop is repeatedly setting SCL high and switching to input again
22:28:40_FireFly_because the linker will use the .so file if he find it
22:28:56mirakok then ?
22:28:59 Quit hshah (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))

22:29:25_FireFly_mirak: then this should work : gcc -I ../src/ -L ../src -lxvid xvid_decraw.c
22:29:27peturright
22:29:36*petur learns to read comments
22:29:38_FireFly_amiconn: what about my question ??
22:30:29_FireFly_mirak: only the path for the -L parameter must you set it to the right parth in which the .a file is
22:31:12peturwell, I'm stuck there: it never sees SCL as high :(

22:33:26peturno it isn't (wrong pin description) - nothing happened...
22:33:43_FireFly_mirak: then it should be -lxvidcore

23:47:00linuxstb_I've stripped xvidcore to the bare minimum and written my own simple Makefile
23:47:50linuxstb_It's going to take a lot of work to get that working in Rockbox though.
