00:01:24linuxstbmarkun: So you received the gigabeat source this morning?
00:01:34markunyes, I have
00:01:44markunbut not much of interest
00:02:03 Join webguest46 [0] (n=864c03ab@labb.contactor.se)
00:02:23linuxstbIt sounds incomplete. Does it contain scripts to rebuild and install the gpl software that runs on your device?
00:02:33markunonly this file maybe: http://130.89.160.166/Gigabeat/usb-ohci-s3c2440a.c
00:02:44markunNo, it doesn't
00:03:39markunonly the tar balls of the open source software used in the gigabeat

00:03:57linuxstbTo quote section 3 of the GPL: "The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable."
00:04:46linuxstbIn this case, "installation" would seem to have to mean installation on a real device.
00:05:26markunpreglow told me I should ask for more, but I don't really feel like bothering them all the time

00:06:40linuxstbI understand how you feel, but they don't seem to be fulfilling their gpl obligations. It could be worth an email to the FSF to get their opinion about whether you are entitled to more or not.

00:07:56linuxstbBut Toshiba could be in a tricky situation if installation of a modified kernel requires the user to encrypt the kernel using a secret key.
00:08:32webguest46hi, is it possible in rockbox to tell when the battey is full charged?

01:11:18linuxstbYou could try downloading a fresh copy of rockbox-devel - it sounds as if something's wrong with your copy.
01:11:38linuxstbAre you doing all this under Linux?
01:11:44BHSPitMonkeyyup

01:14:05BHSPitMonkeyshould I?
01:15:11linuxstbIt won't fix your problems building Rockbox, but you will have to install the bootloader if you want to try running it.

01:16:47BHSPitMonkeyheh
01:17:05*BHSPitMonkey != genious
01:17:27lokkiLinusN: i see there is a variable width, i thought it depends on LCD_WIDTH, changing that to LCD_REMOTE_WIDTH doesn't help however
01:17:32LinusNlokki: gwps-common,c
01:17:38linuxstbYou just need to copy the function load_rockbox() from bootloader/ipod.c into the ipodlinux2 bootloader
01:17:42BHSPitMonkeyshould I try just cvs'sing the normal rockbox branch?
01:17:57lokkiLinusN: ok...thanks a lot i will look there
01:18:10BHSPitMonkeyand i will definitely look into that then...
01:18:10linuxstbBHSPitLappy: What do you mean? There is only one rockbox branch.
01:18:18LinusNlokki: replace LCD_WIDTH with display->width
01:18:36BHSPitMonkeylinuxstb: type? collection? whatever, in opposition to rockbox-devel
01:19:17lokkiLinusN: in peakmeter.c you mean?
01:19:30LinusNno
01:19:38linuxstbBHSPitLappy: It's the same thing. But if I was you, I would try starting again with a clean checkout of rockbox-devel
01:19:40lokkiin gwps-common
01:19:42lokkisorry
01:19:52lostlogicheh, same problem happened when I made the A-B repeat patch for swcodec
01:20:05LinusNi guess peakmeter.c needs to adapt to the "display" concept
01:20:10lostlogicLinusN: a-b repeat patch could use merging for swcodec ;)
01:20:28LinusNlostlogic: :-)
01:20:59LinusNlostlogic: do you think we need to move some buttons around?
01:21:45 Quit Kyl3 ("( www.nnscript.de :: NoNameScript 3.81 :: www.XLhost.de )")
01:22:04BHSPitMonkeylinuxstb: also, i apologize for my limited familiarity with rockbox so far, but does rockbox build to a single file firmware? is there a filesystem?
01:22:09lostlogicLinusN: I believe at least one person who is using the patch moved them around. I dunno −− getting to settings would have to be inconsistent to deal with it currently.
01:22:22lokkithat was me
01:22:27lostlogicLinusN: either in rec or WPS there's going to be an inconsistency unless we use a long press for the settings.
01:22:38LinusNyes
01:23:15lokkii moved the menu button to rec, inconsistency in the rec screen
01:23:19 Quit BHSPitLappy2 (Connection timed out)
01:23:31lostlogicLinusN: do you think that there will be a record from wps function coming?
01:23:51LinusNrecord from wps? hardly
01:23:57linuxstbBHSPitLappy: There is a sort-of filesystem - typing "make zip" after "make" will create a rockbox.zip file which contains rockbox.ipod (the main firmware binary), plus a .rockbox directory that contains fonts, plugins, codecs, themes etc
01:24:20lostlogicLinusN: then I'm inclined to leave it as the patch is and let people figure out that rec does A-B in WPS screen.
01:24:27linuxstbTo install rockbox.zip, just then just type "unzip rockbox.zip -d /mnt/ipod/"
01:24:46lostlogicbecause having a short press for the menu is a Good Thing
01:24:48 Quit Mark_ (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
01:25:03LinusNlostlogic: me too, but it sure feels awkward to not use the A/B button for the A/B function :-)
01:25:08lostlogicand consistency is so often lacking in other firmware products, but _not_ in rockbox
01:25:30linuxstbBHSPitLappy: But there is no partitioning of the type needed for ipodlinux - all files are stored on the FAT32 partition.
01:25:34LinusNrockbox is pretty inconsistent in many areas, but the menu button is the same everywhere
01:25:45BHSPitMonkeylinuxstb: i see
01:26:01lostlogichmm... I've only really noticed inconsistency in the plugins compared to the main OS
01:27:10webguest46lostlogic: thanks for your answer, i'm glad someone is working on it
01:28:58lostlogicwebguest46: It's not really a big difference, the functionality isn't likely to change, just the display.
01:29:50lostlogicLinusN: how much have you done with the PCF50606? Have you ever seen it get into a state other than the state it 'should be' left in by the iRiver firmware? I think I got it into such a state, which says to me we should set it's charge control registers on boot up rather than assuming they are set.
01:30:39LinusNlostlogic: we should set it the way we want to
01:31:09LinusNfor example, the exton wakeup can sometimes be disabled
01:31:57lostlogicLinusN: yeah, it actually has a pretty nice featureset that we are ignoring. I'll work through it more when I get my replacement H340.
01:32:28webguest46lostlogic: yes, i know the charging is done in hardware, but it would be good to know when the battery is full. many people say that it is bad to keep the charger plugged in when the battery is full.
01:33:57lostlogicwebguest46: As far as I can tell that's a falacy, the charger stops being in charge mode when it reaches full, I need to verify that it is not charging at all in this mode though.
01:34:36 Quit Kohlrabi ("Leaving")
01:34:41LinusNlostlogic: still, it will probably trickle charge
01:34:45lostlogicwebguest46: if necessary, I'll turn on the charge control feature of rockbox to have the software deactivate the charge completely when the battery is full.
01:34:59lostlogicLinusN: that would be really dumb on LiPoly, but you're probably right.
01:38:33LinusNseems the charger automatically switches off the charging after the fast-charge is done
01:38:51LinusNthen you have to select either trickle or switch mode afterwards
01:39:47LinusNhmmm, switch mode wasn't what i thought it was
01:39:56lostlogicthe MBCC registers during charge were 3F, 00 and 3A and the status was 5D or 1D depending on what part of the charge cycle it was in

01:45:50lokkiim to dumb for this
01:46:34lostlogiclokki: you'll get it −− the code in peakmeter.c is probably called for each screen by the gwps-common.c, so you should only handle one screen in any given call to peakmeter.c
01:46:40lostlogicdoes that make sense for what you are working on?

01:51:10lostlogiclokki: then you'll call screen->function instead of lcd_function inside the peak_meter_draw function

09:19:58JancoSome functions (in lcd-16bit.c)are defined twice, almost identically, but once followed by ICODE_ATTR. What does it mean?
09:20:20BgerJanco the first is declaration
09:20:35Bgerand the second is the actual definition/code
09:20:50Bgerthe first is a.k.a. prototype
09:21:13Bgerand ICODE_ATTR means to put the code of the function in the SRAM
09:21:30Bgersubstitute means with "tells gcc"
09:22:04Bgerthe SRAM is a fast ram situated in the CPU

10:34:11JancoBger: I got the simulator working now. Strangely enough the color bitmaps appear to be correct on the real target (H340) but have different colors in the simulator (B instead of R, G instead of B, etc.). Will have a look into that tonight, probably.

10:38:31preglowhahah
10:38:34preglowno!!!!!!11oneone
10:38:37JancoLinusN: Probably, but since the colors are right on the real target, shouldn't this be corrected by the simulator? Or do I have to take this into account in my code?
10:38:39preglowsure, just gimme an addy
10:39:07LinusNJanco: the sim is little endian, the target is big, and your bmp reader probably gets it wrong
10:39:36B4gderJanco: if your code is correct (and the sim does right), the sim and target should of course look the same
10:43:39JancoAs I said, I have not a lot of experience with this kind of programming, so I suppose my code is not correct. I suppose I do it wrong twice (reading and displaying), which makes it correct for the target, but not for the simulator. Will have to study this problem.
10:44:34B4gderyou run the sim on a x86 cpu, right?
10:46:37JancoAlso, I used my own internal representation for color bitmaps (nothing fancy). This might not be what the simulator expects. Has a rockbox color bitmap format been defined (as was done for monchrome)?
10:46:50B4gderyes
10:47:11B4gderthe framebuffer use the target format
10:47:16JancoB4gder, that's correct (cygwin under XP).
10:47:29B4gderand we use bitmaps in the same format as the framebuffer wants them
10:49:32B4gderbut I'm not the expert on color bitmaps/framebuffers

10:50:12JancoI don't have time now, I will look into the matter this evening.
10:52:07JancoBut I must say, it looks nice with colors. But I expect stills lots of problems. Part of it is the wps format.
10:53:13JancoI think it could be revised to admit absolute position (in pixels) of strings in any font.
10:53:35B4gderyes indeed
10:53:56LinusNeither we extend it so it can handle both b/w and color bitmaps, or we store the b/w bitmaps in color format
10:54:08B4gderI vote the for latter
10:54:17LinusNme too
10:54:35LinusNespecially when we go for the one-bitmap skinning method

10:58:01JancoI don't think either is necessary. My reader detects the bitmap depth and stores it with the image. The screen refresh functions (don't remember the name) then calls a new function with the colr_depth as a parameter.
10:58:34B4gderfair enough!
10:59:07JancoThis either calls the existing monochrome bitmap draw function or a new color bitmap draw function.

13:28:32peturand clicking left/right first changes analog, then digital so the ranges are appended but you still see what the individual settings are

13:55:11preglowaren't you discussing gains here?
13:55:24peturyep
13:55:26preglowa gain isn't a decimation
13:55:55preglowand no, adcs do not generally have higher precision internally
13:56:03preglowquite the opposite, they're usually 1 bit internally
13:57:20linuxstbSo is applying digital gain in the ADC better or worse than post-processing the WAV file?
13:57:50preglowi'd expect digital gain in the adc to be about the same as postprocess
13:57:59preglowbut of course, in our case, we don't utilise the full width of the dac
13:58:00peturI understood it is better
13:58:00amiconnpreglow: Not only internally, but the UDA is able to deliver more bits (24) than we can use with DMA access (16)
13:58:01preglowadc
13:58:10preglowso using the uda control would be better
13:58:27preglowamiconn: yes, exactly
13:58:47preglowpetur: how can it be better?
13:59:05preglowpetur: in our case it will be, since we don't use all the 24 bits, but if we did, the adc can't gain the signal any better than we can

14:09:13preglowpersonally i think there should be a limit where the analogue gain limit is

14:36:59alphakillerthat's why I am digging in on it :D
14:37:04linuxstbThe LCD is connected to a proprietory Broadcom chip - the instruction set isn't even known (but suspected to be MIPS-based). So that's a big hurdle.
14:37:05alphakillerso my boss pays me
14:37:25alphakillerto keep me up playing with Open Source Software
14:37:35alphakillerin order to develop new skills in order to work for them :D
14:37:43B4gdergo go go! ;-)
14:38:00alphakillerwell, I've played with mips (playstation 2 and playstation one)
14:38:28alphakillerjust dunno how the things are connected :P
14:38:42alphakillerI just grabbed an iPod video from japan ..

14:55:28alphakillerwell, first of all, If I were you, I would make a package called "toolchain" :P
14:55:36linuxstbYou need to install gcc (3.4.5) and binutils (2.16) cross-compilers (target=arm-elf) and the Rockbox source code from CVS.
14:55:38alphakillerwith buildscripts

14:57:25alphakillerI'll have from 21th january until march 3rd to hack
14:57:27alphakiller:D
14:57:28linuxstbalphakiller: The only problem you'll have with Windows is installing the bootloader - you need raw access to the hard disk.
14:57:45preglowvim did not go very well with freebsd
14:58:01markunpreglow: what was the problem?
14:58:06preglowi have no idea
14:58:06linuxstbThis page contains the basic instructions for installing the Rockbox ipod bootloader: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodBoot
14:58:09preglowcolours refused to work
14:58:19markunah, the TERM thing..
14:58:28alphakillerbut have you heard someone installing the bootloader on windows ?
14:58:29preglowand saving was tedious, since vim all the time reminded me it couldn't write a backup file, this despite me having turned off backup
14:59:03linuxstbalphakiller: No. preglow tried and failed. But I have an idea that may work - I just need to find the time to reboot into Windows and test it out.
14:59:05markunI can't remember having these problems.
14:59:13markunMaybe god hates you, not bsd..
14:59:53linuxstbThe problem is that the ipod's firmware is stored in a small (40MB-80MB) partition marked as "empty". Cygwin doesn't give you access to this device as a normal /dev/sd?? device
14:59:55preglowgod hates me, i hate bsd
15:00
15:00:12linuxstbs/to this device/to this partition/
15:00:17alphakilleryeah ..
15:00:20markunAs long as we all love rockbox..
15:00:22alphakillerI got the whole idea :P
15:00:41alphakillerI can't wait to hack my iPod :P
15:00:52 Quit DocterD (Remote closed the connection)
15:01:00alphakillerI just dunno what will I do :P
15:01:07alphakiller(task)
15:01:15preglowyou'll figure it out
15:01:22linuxstbI had the same problem on Mac OS X, but solved it by writing a small utility that accessed the "whole disk" device instead of the devices created for the individual partitions - /dev/disk1 on the Mac.
15:01:31aliaskonce you start using the firmware you will notice things that you might like fixed.
15:01:53markunalphakiller: port the flite text-to-speech program to rockbox
15:02:14linuxstbI haven't tested that program on cygwin, but I think it should work - http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/diskdump.tgz
15:02:31markunalphakiller: or the speex codec
15:02:41linuxstbAlso, the ipod video needs slightly different instructions for installing the bootloader - I'll try and update the Wiki.
15:03:17linuxstb(a firmware image that runs on the Broadcom chip needs to be in the boot partition, along with the normal ipod firmware)
15:03:20alphakillerI'm not going to port a high level thing :P
15:03:32alphakillermy target around here, is to hack arm
15:03:32alphakiller..
15:03:44alphakilleran existing arm platform
15:03:57alphakiller:P
15:04:25linuxstbThe ipod has two ARM cores - that could be an interesting aspect to explore. Currently, Rockbox puts the COP (coprocessor) to sleep and only uses the main CPU.
15:04:45alphakillerhmm ... like psp :P
15:04:54alphakillerpsp has two mips r4000 processors :D
15:04:59alphakillerone main cpu and another as cop
15:04:59alphakiller;P
15:05:04linuxstbYou'll be right at home then...
15:05:22alphakillerhehehe ...
15:05:33alphakillerplaystation 2 has 5 or 6 cops
15:06:19markunany idea yet what the cop should do? It can only run at speed <= the main CPU, right?
15:06:20preglowyeah, but they're not cpus
15:06:29preglowthey're specialised units
15:06:41preglowyou can scale the cope somewhat
15:06:42alphakillermarkun: decoding ??
15:06:42alphakiller:P
15:06:47preglowand i'm planning on using it for decoding and dsp
15:06:54preglowand fiq handling
15:06:59linuxstbI believe the cop can run at either 100% or 50% of the main CPU's speed.
15:07:12linuxstb(or 0% if it's sleeping)
15:07:32alphakilleryou just assign task for the cop and he will do markun
15:07:39alphakillerI just dunno how these tasks are assigned to the cop
15:07:39markunwhy not use the main CPU for decoding and the COP at 50% for some less intensive tasks?
15:07:53alphakillerin the mips based architecture you send like "packages" for the coprocessors
15:08:08alphakillerand you don't need to stop the current execution on the main processor
15:08:14alphakillerto send such data
15:08:19alphakilleryou just send the packages
15:08:23alphakillerand continue processing
15:08:39alphakillerno no ..
15:09:00alphakillerthe usage of cop, is minimize the cpu overhead
15:09:31alphakilleryou give it specific and hard tasks
15:09:40preglowyou can give it what you want
15:09:43preglowour cop is just another arm
15:09:44alphakilleryeah
15:09:52preglowspecced just like the main core
15:09:56alphakillerbut usually you give hard tasks ..
15:09:59preglowyou've got mailboxes and iram, that's the only means of communicating
15:10:06preglowsure, i want the cop to decode
15:10:38 Quit Vladoman (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))

15:11:55alphakillerI guess it won't affect your battery power consumption
15:11:57preglowmarkun: well, the option is doing it the other way around, having the cpu deal with decoding
15:12:04preglowalphakiller: it will
15:12:16markunpreglow: yes, that was what I was suggesting
15:12:17alphakillerdepends on how the things are connected...
15:12:41grahamozhmm rockbox ?
15:12:44grahamozfor ipd ?
15:12:46grahamozipod
15:12:54alphakillerI guess Apple's OS on iPod turns it up just for MPEG4
15:12:56markungrahamoz: what about it?
15:13:00alphakillerand bitmap processing
15:13:45alphakillermy best guess, is that mp3 is decoded by a FPGA
15:13:50preglowit's not
15:13:51preglowpure software
15:14:05preglowall codecs apart from video are decoded on the arm
15:14:13preglowvideo is decoded on the broadcom chip
15:14:27alphakillerthat you guess it's a mips based proc ?
15:14:30preglowyes
15:14:37alphakillerhmm
15:14:37preglowwe actually have that covered, we can decode mp3/ogg/etc on ipod now, we just lack good sound output
15:14:38alphakillerI see
15:15:17alphakillerit's strange having a mips to do that :P

15:19:09lostlogiconce we get rockbox on iPod, H3x0 and iAudio X5, someone needs to do a serious audio comparison between them.
15:19:47markunGave up the hope on the Gigabeat port? ;)
15:20:32lostlogicmarkun: gigabeat seems to be the least likely to get line-in recording, so I'm more inclined to ignore it than the others.
15:20:47 Join DocterD [0] (n=DocterD@dslb-084-059-102-063.pools.arcor-ip.net)
15:21:17markunI thought you were talking about output quality..
15:21:17lostlogicmarkun: realistically though, the gigabeat port should be easier than the iPod port since it has just one higher clocked ARM rather than having the complexity of controlling two.
15:21:49markunAnd we have the documentation
15:22:02aliaskHows the gigabeat port going markun?
15:22:04alphakillerhehe, I still prefer two slower cpus than one :P
15:22:12markunnot working on it right now
15:22:34lostlogicmarkun: i was... but those three players have pretty comparable feature sets
15:22:44markunI was disassembling some of the programs that came with the firmware update yesterday
15:22:56markunlostlogic: I
15:23:05markunlostlogic: I'll mod mine to have line out then :)
15:23:08alphakillerhaving two cpus you have the advantage of having less OS code that does threading running .. that's where you lose performance
15:23:38preglowwhat?
15:23:42preglowwe'll need more os code for threading
15:23:44preglowfor two cores
15:23:51lostlogicalphakiller: not with a round robin cooperative scheduler like rockbox
15:23:53preglowahh, right
15:23:54preglowlike that
15:23:55preglowforget me
15:24:06preglowlostlogic: he meant less time spent in context switch
15:24:11alphakilleryeah
15:24:12alphakiller:P
15:24:12markunyes
15:24:38lostlogicah, right. yeah, having one core that can be dedicated to the single highest CPU task, on one thread is definitely beneficial.
15:25:08lostlogicpreglow: I would think that what I just said is the better way to deal with it than having the PCM output and codec on the COP...
15:25:10alphakillerheheh, Apple Engineers are the best around there :P
15:25:41alphakillerI have had lots of small devices around there
15:25:51alphakillerthe bests I had were from Apple
15:25:56LinusNi wouldn't want a transparent scheduling between the two cpu's
15:26:21preglowLinusN: you wont have it either
15:26:33preglowthe cop will run a fixed set of threads
15:26:36preglowperhaps only one
15:26:37alphakilleryeah
15:26:40alphakillerthat's what I said
15:26:45LinusNthen i'm with you
15:26:47 Nick elisherer is now known as eli_sherer (n=eli@IGLD-84-228-169-190.inter.net.il)
15:26:55preglowif we didn't do this, we'd have cache issues
15:26:59pregloweach core has its own cache
15:27:04preglowand the bus isn't snooped
15:27:15alphakillerwell, that's what I would like to play with :D
15:27:21preglowthen hooray!
15:27:28preglowi certainly wont stop you
15:27:30alphakillerdevelop the "driver" to send stuff to the cop
15:27:31alphakiller:D
15:27:32amiconnImho the scheduler for the COP should be easy. What's more complicated is the cache coherency, as we surely need to pass data between both cores
15:27:42preglowamiconn: not much data, i'd think
15:27:44LinusNand the thread synchronization
15:27:47preglowamiconn: and for what little there is, iram is good
15:28:00alphakillermy idea is not having a scheduler on the cop
15:28:14alphakillerthe cop just will run a thread
15:28:20alphakillerdetermined and packed by the cpu
15:29:11markunToo bad the speeds can't be canged independantly..
15:29:12alphakillerso a main task sends a thread to the cop
15:29:12alphakillerthat's the idea
15:29:12alphakillerthat's where you reduce the overhead of context swithc
15:29:12DBUGEnqueued KICK alphakiller
15:29:12alphakiller*switch
15:29:36alphakillermy idea is this:
15:30:45alphakillerMain Task −−> ask for cop −−> turns it on what speed it would likes to −−> package thread −−> send packet to cop −−> do another thread from the task in parallel on the cpu, while cop works on another thread
15:30:57markunHow does such a mailbox work btw? You can write something to it and the other CPU gets an interrupt?
15:31:25alphakillerI've never worked with mips before
15:31:38markunwith arm.. right?
15:31:41alphakillerI dunno even the global memory is shared between the two processors
15:31:45alphakillerops
15:31:46alphakilleryeah
15:31:47alphakillerarm
15:31:48alphakiller:P
15:32:33preglowmarkun: don't really know, you write data somewhere, then the cop gets an interrupt
15:32:34alphakillerif we have the global memory shared between them, we could stablish a global pointer where cop tasks will write to
15:32:42preglowalphakiller: cache issues
15:32:54preglowalphakiller: we'd have to flush the cache before we did that
15:33:01preglowalphakiller: it's better to use the iram, since that isn't cached
15:33:13alphakillerhmm ..
15:33:38alphakilleryeah, but my idea is to have an unified global point down somewhere
15:33:41alphakillerirqs are pretty slow :P
15:33:48preglowwe don't need to use irq
15:34:30markunit's faster to check the memory location from time to time?
15:34:32preglowthe cop can be stuck in a loop, reading a variable from iram to see if it should wake, and then the cpu can send it to sleep, set the variable whenever it needs to, then wake the cop again, so it can work
15:34:47preglowsee if it should work, that should be
15:34:59preglowthe cpu can freeze the cop whenever it wants to, we should use that
15:35:07eli_shererprobably gonna cause the use of "wait" and "signal" if there is a mutual resources...
15:35:19alphakillerhmm .. and rather easy to do that :D
15:35:56markunalphakiller: well, what are you waiting for then, get to work :)
15:35:59alphakillerbut it should have a data flux from the cop to the cpu and vice-versa
15:36:47alphakillerand something to input routines ...
15:37:01alphakillermy idea is to do something like:
15:37:12alphakillerhook_CopCode(pointer function)
15:37:25alphakillerunhook_CopCode(pointer function)
15:37:54preglowjust keep in mind that the cpu and cop can't share data via regular memory
15:38:11preglowthat will require us to flush the cache all the time, which isn't very wise
15:38:34alphakillerso we need a way to copy thread code somehow
15:38:45LinusNalphakiller: unhook?
15:38:52alphakillerand store it in a fixed address
15:39:02alphakillerLinusN: link and unlink code
15:39:09preglowyou don't need to copy any thread code
15:39:14LinusNyes, but why unlink?
15:39:15preglowjust load it, have the cop flush its cache, then execute
15:39:52LinusNand what is the pointer in the unlink function?
15:40:14alphakilleroh .. forget heheh
15:40:18alphakillerthe pointer()
15:40:22alphakillerit's void :D
15:40:29alphakillerunhook(void) :P
15:40:34LinusNok, then i'm with you
15:40:46alphakillerand the pointer it self is the flag
15:40:53alphakillerunhook sets pointer to null
15:41:08alphakillerand hook setspointer to something
15:41:09LinusNok, so we could just have one function: link(ptr)
15:41:09alphakillerwe just have a loop
15:41:21LinusNand link(NULL) to unlink
15:41:22 Quit ashridah ("Leaving")
15:41:36alphakillerand then loop forever
15:41:45alphakillerif pointer null, do nothing
15:41:50alphakillerelse, call function :D
15:42:16LinusNperhaps cop_run(ptr);
15:42:22alphakilleryeah :P
15:42:23alphakillermore pretty
15:42:24alphakiller:D
15:42:39alphakillerpreglow ?
15:42:44LinusNand a few others, like cop_put_msg(ptr) etc
15:42:44preglowhmm?
15:42:59alphakillerwe are discussing cop issues :P
15:43:09preglowsure, i follow you
15:43:14alphakillerI was waiting for your point :D

15:43:52preglowthat's where the reset vector is, heh
15:43:57LinusN- there she is, set for "stun"
15:44:13alphakillerso, it's rather easy having the cop in a loop
15:44:15preglowi wonder what the cpu will do when the cop goes in for reset...
15:44:30alphakillernothing :P
15:44:32preglowbut yeah, just a loop waiting for a flag on where to go
15:44:43preglowand when the cpu knows the cop is in this loop, it also tells it to sleep
15:44:47preglowso we don't waste too much battery
15:44:51alphakillerI prefer the loop idea :D
15:44:54alphakillerand sleep
15:45:03alphakillerso we would have 2 procedures:
15:45:04alphakillerwake up

18:21:59thegeeksrs sucks

18:30:52saa[b_r]iderlinuxstb: why are you interested in MP2 files?
18:31:18preglowbecause there is tons of mp2 around?
18:31:26linuxstbBecause I've been archiving digital radio broadcasts in their original MP2 format for the past 3-4 years.
18:31:29preglowdab radio, for example, is mp2
18:31:48linuxstbAnd I need some way to listen to them...
18:32:56linuxstbI would also like to be able to recommend DAPs to others that can natively play MP2 files. Rockbox devices are the only ones I'm aware of. IIRC, the Archos firmware would only play them if you renamed them to .mp3
18:33:14lostlogiclinuxstb: what, and you don't want to transcode them:):):)
18:33:17saa[b_r]ideraha, wasn't aware that it was the common format for radio broadcasts

18:36:28preglowugh
18:36:35preglowi imagine it doesn't sound very good
18:36:41preglowac3 isn't a very complicated codec
18:37:16linuxstbIt's not too bad. No worse than 128kbps MP2.
18:37:44linuxstbBut generally, I think it's 384kbps.
18:37:54linuxstb(for HDTV broadcasts)
18:38:08preglowahh, t
18:38:08preglowv
18:38:17linuxstbYep, TV.
18:38:19preglow128 kbps mp2 is something different agin
18:38:29preglowit isn't a transform codec, so doesn't sound so bad when mangled
18:39:20saa[b_r]iderok, H300 doesn't display MP2 files, I'll try to rename it to MP3 and see if it plays
18:40:20preglowit doesn't play them
18:40:22preglowdon't worry

18:46:15linuxstbpreglow: Do you think ac3 would be the best choice for a Rockbox video player?
18:46:21mirak_maybe I could build a sim for H100
18:46:33mirak_since I display nothing it should not matter
18:46:36preglowlinuxstb: well, it certainly is fast
18:46:51preglowand can probably be made faster
18:46:57markunmpeg2+ac3.. sounds like we're making a micro dvd player :)
18:47:05preglowconsidering the small amount of work i did to make it as fast as it is today
18:47:14linuxstbAnd I _think_ it has very small RAM requirements as well.

18:52:54mirak_linuxstb: and mpeg2 code looks less complex. It fit's also in 100ko
18:53:24linuxstbSo libmpeg2 is both faster and smaller?
18:53:31mirak_seems so

18:55:01linuxstbIt all depends on the quality of the encoder I think.
18:55:06mirak_with 300kbit for xvid image is perfect, there is no artifacts
18:55:23linuxstbBut it sounds promising.
18:56:10mirak_if anyone is interested in finding why mpeg2 fails on H100 or H300 it would be nice

20:33:13linuxstbalphakiller: There is no "main" target for Rockbox. The original targets were the Archos Jukebox range - with a hardware MP3 decoder and Hitachi SH1 cpu. About 12 months ago, work started on a port to the iriver H1x0 series - which does all audio decoding in software using its Coldfire CPU. This port was recently extended to support the iriver H3x0 devices (very similar hardware to the H1x0, but a colour LCD). About 3 months ago, I started work o

20:42:25linuxstbmirak_: Try removing #include <sys/stat.h> from uisimulator/x11/lcd-x11.c - that seems to cause your error, and I don't know why it's there.
20:42:58Saneli, I didn't change anything
20:43:17linuxstbalphakiller: Those ipodboot instructions won't work on cygwin because cygwin doesn't give you access to the ipod's boot partition (because it is marked as type "0" - i.e. empty).
20:43:48alphakillerhmm
20:43:49linuxstbI've written a utility which may work, but it hasn't been tested on cygwin yet: http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/diskdump.tgz
20:43:59alphakillerI downloaded that

20:44:08linuxstbHave you compiled it?
20:44:12alphakillernot yet
20:44:22alphakillerchecking out cvs
20:46:07linuxstbYou can test diskdump by typing "diskdump /dev/sda" - that should show you the partition map for that disk. You can try different devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc etc) until you find your ipod.
20:46:39alphakillerhmm I see
20:46:42linuxstbIt should be safe because in that mode it only opens the device read-only.

21:08:38linuxstbYou are missing the bootloader directory then. You should just be able to type "cvs co bootloader" from inside the rockbox directory.

21:14:11alphakillerlike a hello world bootloader ?
21:14:35eli_shererCan someone who knows a little computer science help me with this one...?
21:14:42linuxstbNo. The place to look is bootloader/ipod.c - this uses code (lcd driver, ata driver etc) from the firmware/ directory.
21:14:58alphakillerhmm
21:15:07alphakilleryeah, but I guess there's a ready framebuffer, or no ?

21:15:51alphakillerI'll play with that later
21:16:02alphakillerthe important thing now is how I can make both cores work on your kernel
21:16:20alphakillerI might use that "nanokernel" idea, to put it on the other core, and let it in piece :D
21:16:34alphakillerlinuxstb: can i deattach ipod?
21:16:35alphakillerand test ?
21:16:39alphakillerit's written
21:16:47linuxstbYou should also get a copy of all the ipodlinux source you can find - that will help with the low-level stuff.
21:17:28linuxstbalphakiller: Yes - it should display some logos (but they are corrupt - an easy bug that I haven't fixed yet) and then load the Apple firmware.
21:17:54alphakillerhmm ... you killed my iPod :@
21:18:02alphakillerit turns on, then off
21:18:02alphakiller..
21:18:09linuxstbMmmm....
21:18:10alphakillercontact apple.com/support/ipod
21:18:58linuxstbOK... Try plugging it back into your PC and seeing what "diskdump /dev/sdb" tells you.
21:19:38alphakillerit can read my ipod
21:19:40alphakiller...
21:19:43linuxstbAlso, can you still see the normal FAT32 partition when you plug it in?
21:20:39alphakillerit locked up my explorer

21:21:16linuxstbI've heard people talk about "ipodservice.exe", and having to restart it sometimes.

21:24:40linuxstbIf you do end up with an unusable ipod, you can download the "ipod restorer" from the Apple website, and restore your ipod using that.

21:30:21linuxstbMust have been the last models with usb 1.1
21:30:41ender`in 2003 1.1 was still common - and you usually got 2 2.0 ports at the back, plus 1-2 1.1 ports in front, and sometimes additional 2 1.1 ports at the back

22:32:09linuxstbkkurbjun: I haven't looked at your patch, but have you made more use of IRAM?
22:32:46linuxstbI don't think rockboy currently uses very much IRAM - big speed improvements could possibly be gained in that direction.
22:33:28kkurbjunlinuxstb: I don't know how to use IRAM .. its that some code cache? and do you have an example in rockbox that you can point to that uses it?
22:34:16Learkkurbjun: see codecs
22:34:32kkurbjunok, I'll look at that
22:34:37Learassuming it works for plugins, that is... :)
22:35:50linuxstbYes, it works the same in codecs and plugins
22:36:18linuxstbIRAM is the fast 96KB of internal memory on the coldfire. Putting data in iram means it can be accessed a lot faster than from the slow SDRAM.
22:36:28Learbut what if you try to run a plugin that needs iram when playing music?
22:36:38linuxstb48KB of IRAM is used by core Rockbox, 48KB can be used by a codec or plugin.
22:36:39kkurbjunahh, so data cache
22:36:53Bagdernot cache, just fast ram
22:37:01linuxstbrockboy stops playback anyway. I'm not sure how the details work, but I'm sure they do.
22:37:01Bagderor rather less slow ;-)
22:37:25Bagderrockbox stops playback because it nicks the buffer

23:28:25LinusNMmmm: the timer_register() call allocates a high-resolution timer interrupt
23:29:12LinusNwhich calls timer_callback() 1024 times per second
23:29:59alphakillerlinuxstb: I did something wrong
23:30:00alphakillerheheeh
23:30:13alphakillerI'll try again :p
23:30:34linuxstbI hope so :)
23:32:36 Part SteveL__
23:32:38MmmmLinus: Ahh, right... I'll think about that one :) Looked at your fix, I wouldnt have though of that one :D good job i asked! :D Ta linus, Goodnight...
23:33:18alphakillerlinuxstb: wasn't I supposed to do something with apple_sw_5g_rcsc.bin ?
23:33:45linuxstbNo - ipod_fw loads that file (from the current directory) when you create rockboot.bin
23:34:06 Quit Mmmm ("CGI:IRC")
23:34:09BHSPitMonkeylinuxstb: I'd just use my regular make_fw in leu of downloading ipod_fw, correct?
23:34:17linuxstbipod_fw is a utility from the ipodlinux people.
23:34:31BHSPitMonkeyyeah
23:34:39linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: Yes - ipod_fw and make_fw are identical. We've just put a copy in the Rockbox CVS for convenience.
23:34:47BHSPitMonkeymake_fw is what I know it by... ok cool
23:35:11linuxstbAnd obviously "make_fw" is not a good name for use in Rockbox.
23:35:33linuxstb(considering all the different targets)
23:36:39alphakillerhmm strange
23:36:51BHSPitMonkeymmhmm
23:36:57alphakillerit said that it was generating firmware for iPod photo
23:37:06alphakillerand iPod mini
23:37:11alphakillernot for iPod video
23:37:13alphakiller...
23:37:25 Quit _FireFly_ ("Leaving")
23:37:28alphakillerand 4g
23:37:32linuxstbThat's fine - it's a bug in ipod_fw
23:37:36alphakillerhmm
23:37:43alphakillerlet's try to update :P
23:38:09linuxstbHow big is rockboot.bin - it should be approximately the combined size of the two apple files and bootloader.bin
23:39:32alphakillerit's only 10 mb
23:39:37alphakiller10 mb and half
23:39:37alphakiller..
23:39:48alphakillertwo apple files and bootloader.bin are 15 mb
23:39:48alphakiller..
23:39:54BHSPitMonkeylinuxstb: where does the bootloader look for a linux kernel?
23:40:14linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: A file called linux.bin in the root of your FAT32 partition
23:40:21BHSPitMonkeycool
23:40:32alphakillerlinuxstb: failed :(
23:40:37alphakillerI think
23:40:42alphakillerthe firmware generation
23:40:49alphakilleras I said it's not 15 mb
23:40:52alphakillerit's 10 mb
23:40:55alphakillerand each apple file is 5mb here
23:40:59alphakillerplus 5mb from bootloader
23:41:01alphakiller..
23:41:11linuxstbalphakiller: My rockboot.bin is 11204608 bytes
23:41:39linuxstbThe bootloader is tiny - about 66KB
23:41:53alphakillerhmm
23:41:55alphakilleryours has the same size as mine
23:42:09alphakillerops yeah I told you bullshit
23:42:10alphakillerhehe
23:42:19alphakillerwell, mine is exactly the samesize as yours now
23:42:19alphakiller..
23:42:26alphakiller10,942kb
23:42:26alphakiller..
23:42:49linuxstbTry writing it...
23:42:58alphakilleryeah, I'm already writting it
23:43:00BHSPitMonkeyalphakiller: really, don't kill the IRC buffers so much
23:45:11alphakillerlinuxstb: failed :(
23:46:08linuxstbMmm. Seems that diskdump doesn't work then.
23:46:19linuxstbTime for that Linux Live CD

23:51:19linuxstbAll I can say is that it works for me under Linux and Mac OS X - no-one has succeeded under Windows yet.
23:52:05alphakillerhmm
23:52:09alphakillerpartcopy :P
23:52:11linuxstbAll you need to do is to restore your ipod, then boot linux, then use "dd" to write your rockboot.bin to /dev/sdb1 (or whichever device it appears under Linux)
23:53:20linuxstbIf partcopy works, then let us know.
23:53:42linuxstbBut the problem is the ipod's boot partition is marked as "empty" - so lots of utilities ignore it.
23:53:45***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:53:52alphakilleror dd under cygwin
23:53:59alphakilleranyone has tried ?
23:54:14linuxstbYes - cygwin doesn't give you a device for empty partitions.
23:54:33linuxstbSo /dev/sda will only have one partition visible to cygwin - the fat32 partition.
23:55:03*Xerion dances to the megaman sound from rockboy ;)
23:55:16linuxstbYou could try changing the type of the partition from 0 to something else, then use dd, and then change it back to 0.
23:55:54alphakilleryeah :P
23:56:00linuxstbWe'll be developing a GUI installer to do this under Windows - but no work has been done on it yet.
23:57:56alphakilleror rawrite :D
