| 00:00:00 | petur | all those 'I clicked rockbox but nothing happenend' questions... |
| 00:00:10 | bluebrother | copying back isn't a good alternative if you update frequently ;-) |
| 00:00:19 | Llorean | But hiding it from "supported" would be a worse alternative. :-P |
| 00:00:20 | bluebrother | but adjusting the build script would be an option. |
| 00:00:38 | Rincewind | it doesn't really matter, because I have to change fileview to flash rombox anyway |
| 00:00:46 | Llorean | Since firmwares are definitely supported files. |
| 00:00:47 | jhMikeS | probably blocking my domain or something |
| 00:00:57 | bluebrother | petur: ... which is why I wanted to hide it in the "supported" view ;-) |
| 00:01:05 | petur | you'll also need to change BOOTDIR define or auto-rolo after disconnect won't work ;) |
| 00:01:17 | Llorean | jhMikeS: Possibly. I'll try to encode a smaller file that shows the problem later. |
| 00:01:23 | bluebrother | anyway, I just disagree with that decision. Not a real problem though. |

| 00:05:18 | bluebrother | johnnyoc3: why don't you just ask your question? |
| 00:05:33 | bluebrother | someone else still might know the answer. If not you'll notice. |
| 00:05:38 | johnnyoc3 | well i need the patched firmware partition from it |
| 00:05:49 | bluebrother | patched firmware partition? |
| 00:05:52 | johnnyoc3 | so... |
| 00:06:03 | bluebrother | what kind of patched partition? |
| 00:06:03 | Rori | btw is there an estimated battery life on Nano Rockbox now? Curious to know. Never had to worry yet but always nice to know. |
| 00:06:04 | johnnyoc3 | with the rockbox bootloader |
| 00:06:13 | bluebrother | why don't you install it using ipodpatcher? |
| 00:06:31 | johnnyoc3 | caus my ipods HD is slowly dying and it wont work |
| 00:06:54 | bluebrother | but if the hd is dying anyway, how does the partition itself help? |
| 00:06:56 | johnnyoc3 | i explained it here: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=9821.msg75591#msg75591 |

| 00:10:13 | bluebrother | I read that. |
| 00:10:14 | johnnyoc3 | if your curious |
| 00:10:22 | MO-Pantsuu | got disco'd. was talking about an inline bluetooth thingie |
| 00:10:32 | johnnyoc3 | well i can only use the ipod when it is freshly restored |
| 00:10:32 | MO-Pantsuu | and battery life. diff nick |
| 00:10:34 | | Quit DarkRedFlame () |
| 00:10:51 | MO-Pantsuu | did not get an answer on battery life |
| 00:11:01 | johnnyoc3 | i cant put music on it regularly through itunes cuas it want to restore it again |
| 00:11:11 | bluebrother | maybe running a low-level format helps |
| 00:11:19 | johnnyoc3 | so i can only put music on it through linux directly to the root |

| 00:11:44 | johnnyoc3 | i've tried every format method i know |
| 00:11:53 | bluebrother | directly to the root meaning folders won't work? |
| 00:11:57 | Rincewind | roolku: can you send it again please? I can't remember and find where I saved it *embarassed* |
| 00:11:58 | johnnyoc3 | they do |
| 00:12:04 | bluebrother | ok. |
| 00:12:12 | johnnyoc3 | but itunes keeps thinking it needs to be restored |
| 00:12:17 | johnnyoc3 | even thoguh it works |
| 00:12:31 | johnnyoc3 | and 3rd party managers dont see it either |
| 00:12:48 | bluebrother | hmm. Maybe moving the partition boundaries of the hidden partition to some sector later helps? |
| 00:12:55 | johnnyoc3 | ipodpatcher cant extract the firmware to patch but i can dd patchers firmware with linux |
| 00:13:11 | johnnyoc3 | patchers=patched |
| 00:13:32 | johnnyoc3 | so if i had a rockbox patcher fw i could use rockbox and put music via linux |
| 00:13:33 | roolku | Rincewind: got it? :) |
| 00:13:41 | Rincewind | yep |
| 00:13:41 | johnnyoc3 | see my dilema? |
| 00:13:48 | bluebrother | I ran ipodpatcher successfully on a CF card −− if you have a spare disk lying around you can create that yourself easily |

| 00:14:15 | johnnyoc3 | i dont have any CF |
| 00:14:21 | johnnyoc3 | sd but i dount that works |
| 00:14:41 | bluebrother | just dd the mbr (from the download page) to that disk, dd the ipod update to the 1st partition on that device and run ipodpatcher on it |
| 00:14:57 | bluebrother | sd works the same way as cf on linux: it's a simple scsi device. |
| 00:15:13 | johnnyoc3 | only on linux? |
| 00:15:15 | bluebrother | you might need to specify the device to ipodpatcher |
| 00:15:22 | | Quit PaulJam (".") |
| 00:15:31 | johnnyoc3 | i tried that for the pod |
| 00:15:33 | bluebrother | I don't know the details on windows. Did it on linux. |
| 00:15:46 | johnnyoc3 | i will try the sd card method later tonight |
| 00:15:58 | johnnyoc3 | i just thought someone had a 4g ipod here |
| 00:16:03 | johnnyoc3 | i guess not |
| 00:16:07 | bluebrother | me doesn't, sorry. |
| 00:16:18 | johnnyoc3 | thats ok |
| 00:16:27 | johnnyoc3 | you may have given me hope! |
| 00:16:31 | bluebrother | just remember that this will destroy all data on the memory card. But I guess you already are aware of that ;-) |
| 00:16:52 | johnnyoc3 | if not would it be possible to buy a cf card and us it instead of the HD? |
| 00:16:55 | johnnyoc3 | yeah i know |
| 00:16:58 | bluebrother | it should work with any drive that is large enough |
| 00:17:26 | bluebrother | there was some information on the internet about replacing the hard disk with a CF card. |

| 00:59:57 | johnnyoc3 | and i cant do it |
| 01:00 |
| 01:00:03 | johnnyoc3 | long story |
| 01:00:03 | Llorean | Rolo isn't something you patch into a boot partition... |
| 01:00:18 | MO-Pantsuu | anyone esle using a invisble skin or best skin ever solution on their ipods? |
| 01:00:25 | Llorean | RoLo is the Rockbox loader, it loads other firmwares from within Rockbox. |
| 01:00:36 | johnnyoc3 | i meant the bootloader |
| 01:00:38 | johnnyoc3 | my bad |
| 01:00:47 | Llorean | Why can't iPodPatcher write it? |

| 01:01:00 | Llorean | If you can't write it with iPodPatcher, you wouldn't be able to DD over a already patched one either |
| 01:01:05 | Llorean | They both do the exact same thing. |
| 01:01:43 | johnnyoc3 | i can dd a patched one but when ipod patcher extracts the partition it doesnt work |
| 01:01:57 | MO-Pantsuu | anyhow thanks for the support guys despite my childish griping. I shall leave you alone until next time :) |
| 01:02:04 | Llorean | iPodPatcher doesn't extract anything |
| 01:02:12 | Llorean | It just writes the bootloader, and shifts the main image... |

| 01:05:19 | johnnyoc3 | well it was like that around 4mo ago but i put rockbox on there and it worked fine |
| 01:05:39 | johnnyoc3 | i tryed every format method and partitioning method known to man |
| 01:05:59 | johnnyoc3 | then my bro pluged it in and decieded it needed to be resotred |
| 01:05:59 | Llorean | Oh really? Did you hold a magnet to it to destroy all the data on the disk and then reformat from an Amiga? |
| 01:06:03 | Llorean | Please don't say "every method" |
| 01:06:06 | johnnyoc3 | so it got screwed up again |
| 01:06:11 | johnnyoc3 | well |
| 01:06:14 | johnnyoc3 | not every but alot |
| 01:06:20 | Llorean | Did you or did you not do exactly the steps on that page. |
| 01:06:33 | johnnyoc3 | yes |

| 01:08:06 | johnnyoc3 | have you read this page reciently ? http://www.rockbox.org/tw...ew/Main/IpodManualRestore |
| 01:08:34 | johnnyoc3 | 1) Download the MBR for your ipod from the IpodConversionToFAT32 page, and dd it to the ipod (e.g. dd if=mbr-xxxx.bin of=/dev/sdx), then unplug and reattach; |

| 01:09:14 | johnnyoc3 | believe me i tryed everything |
| 01:09:16 | Llorean | Then why can't you simply use the ipod_fw tool to merge the firmware before DDing? |
| 01:09:20 | johnnyoc3 | this is the only solution |
| 01:09:22 | Llorean | Why on earth do you need someone to merge it for you? |
| 01:09:35 | johnnyoc3 | i cant extract a valid fw file |
| 01:10:13 | johnnyoc3 | somewhere between conecting the ipod and extracting the bin file the ipod messes it up |
| 01:10:24 | Llorean | You know how to get a valid fw file |
| 01:10:29 | johnnyoc3 | yes |
| 01:10:34 | Llorean | The manual restore page even has you write a valid firmware file TO the iPod |

| 01:12:21 | johnnyoc3 | yes |
| 01:12:33 | Llorean | You have to extract the ipsw... |
| 01:12:38 | johnnyoc3 | after i extract the fw from the archive |
| 01:12:41 | Llorean | Yes. |
| 01:12:46 | johnnyoc3 | oh |
| 01:12:50 | Forte | so whats new with rockbox |
| 01:12:52 | Forte | any new games |
| 01:12:56 | johnnyoc3 | i though it was not a .bin |
| 01:13:11 | Llorean | It's the transient theory of mathematics. If firmware.bin = /dev/sdx1 and /dev/sdx1 = the file extracted from the ipsw, then firmware.bin = the file extracted from the ipsw. |
| 01:13:28 | Llorean | So long as no step changes the contents of that. |

| 01:14:22 | johnnyoc3 | well after you dd the ipsw file the ipod needs to be pluged into the wall and does a little scroll bar thing that is different from when you jsut apply a .bin |
| 01:15:07 | Llorean | No, that just means the contents of the ipsw are marked as "new data" rather than having been extracted and so the ipod thinks they're old data. |
| 01:15:24 | johnnyoc3 | oh |
| 01:15:28 | Llorean | There's a bit that gets changed the first time you boot. |
| 01:15:28 | Forte | so whats up |
| 01:15:35 | johnnyoc3 | i see |
| 01:15:47 | Llorean | If you wrote the ipsw over, then extracted it immediately without ever unplugging the iPod, then wrote that .bin file back, you'd get the same thing |
| 01:16:16 | johnnyoc3 | when it gives you the wall plug image you cant boot int disk mode |
| 01:16:32 | johnnyoc3 | at least not when i've tryed |
| 01:16:53 | Llorean | "without ever unplugging the ipod"... |
| 01:17:12 | johnnyoc3 | well after the ipsw is written the ipod auto reboots |
| 01:17:47 | Llorean | With DD, even if you don't unplug the cable, while in disk mode? |
| 01:17:57 | johnnyoc3 | im not sutre about that |
| 01:18:01 | johnnyoc3 | in windows it does though |
| 01:18:10 | johnnyoc3 | but its a moot point |
| 01:18:17 | Llorean | In windows you're not using DD... |
| 01:18:19 | johnnyoc3 | i will try with the .bin renaming |
| 01:18:24 | Llorean | I thought you said you tried the DD method...\ |
| 01:18:57 | johnnyoc3 | i did but i also used apple restore with the .ipsw |
| 01:19:16 | johnnyoc3 | b/c i didnt think the extracted file was a .bin cause it had no file name |
| 01:19:44 | Llorean | So you didn't *just* to the manual restore method? I'm confused. |
| 01:20:06 | johnnyoc3 | i did many methods |
| 01:20:16 | johnnyoc3 | and they are all becoming one big blur :P |

| 02:09:15 | linuxstb | kkurbjun: There has been talk about changing the header in the rockbox files to include more information (such as a version and min/max compatible bootloader versions). My only comment on your patch is that it may be worth waiting for that work to be done before forcing all gigabeat users to upgrade. |
| 02:12:34 | kkurbjun | linuxstb do you know where that work is? Is it just talk right now? Currently the gigabeats are still doing an unnecessary reset on the ata interface with the existing bootloader.. I don't know if it's bad for the drive, it's not a hard click like cutting the power, but it's definitely noticeable. |
| 02:13:26 | kkurbjun | I guess we could just recompile the existing bootloader with the commit I made on the ata and usb interface |
| 02:13:59 | kkurbjun | was that information planned to be added in the scrambling tool? |

| 05:18:00 | goffa | that's a good deal |
| 05:18:27 | goffa | if i didn't have 2 f60's i'd probably get one myself |
| 05:20:03 | Llorean | Yeah, I got one under the assumption that in my infinite clumsiness I'll damage this one eventually. Also, I wouldn't mind another 40gb of storage, anyway. |
| 05:21:04 | goffa | yeah... i'm thinking of ebaying my x5 or my h140 |
| 05:21:22 | goffa | they are collecting dust now that i have my gigabeats |
| 05:21:32 | Llorean | Actually, in all honesty, I'm planning to gift my current one (which has a very, very tiny scratch on the screen, but I'm actually diagnosed OCD) to my mother, and using the new one. |
| 05:21:34 | goffa | i really only use the 1 gigabeat.. but like to have the spare |
| 05:21:42 | Llorean | She expressed interest in it, she likes the Rockbox interface a lot better than her iPod's. |
| 05:22:12 | kkurbjun | Llorean, are you using the bootloader patch with the lcd problem? |
| 05:22:29 | Llorean | kkurbjun: Bootloader patch? |
| 05:22:34 | goffa | had to laugh.. a guy saw my gigabeat and said "wow, that's an old ipod" |
| 05:22:36 | Llorean | I'm using the official bootloader. |
| 05:22:45 | Llorean | Everything's "official", no patches anywhere. |
| 05:22:49 | kkurbjun | ahh, ok, so it came up after my last commit? |
| 05:23:05 | Llorean | It came up in the last day or so, and your commit seems most likely |
| 05:23:06 | goffa | it caught me so off guard i couldn't even comment |
| 05:23:29 | kkurbjun | I'll check it out and see if I can reproduce it with my change reverted |
| 05:24:02 | Llorean | kkurbjun: You can reproduce the bug with a current build? |
| 05:24:24 | Llorean | My Gigabeat's acting slightly weird in another way too (the button LEDs are coming on immediately after boot, and going off with the first backlight fade) |
| 05:25:51 | kkurbjun | thanks for the heads up. I can definitely reproduce it on mine as well by the way. I have alot of other code in my tree. I saw that as well today so it's not just my or your player |
| 05:26:04 | Llorean | Okay, good to know mine isn't about to explode. :) |
| 05:26:09 | kkurbjun | : ) |
| 05:26:16 | goffa | yeah.. i haven't put a new rockbox on in a couple of weeks |
| 05:26:29 | goffa | been on the road a lot |
| 05:26:45 | goffa | sitting in a hotel as we speak |
| 05:28:04 | Llorean | goffa: mpegplayer has improved a lot, but as you may have guessed from my talking, there's a few new 'quirks' as of today (nothing serious)\ |
| 05:28:19 | goffa | yeah |
| 05:29:18 | goffa | i don't really use mpegplayer.. but am glad to see it progressing |
| 05:29:47 | Llorean | I wasn't planning to. |
| 05:29:48 | goffa | my hope is that the insert patch gets commited so i don't have to keep patching |
| 05:30:11 | goffa | something about 2 inch video doesn't impress me that much |
| 05:30:55 | kahn | no but making nanos run mpg is kinda cool |
| 05:31:27 | goffa | kinda like gameboy |
| 05:31:41 | goffa | glad i have the option.. but don't plan on utilizing it |
| 05:32:00 | Llorean | It looks better than I expected, is all |
| 05:33:12 | goffa | still getting used to the new root menu |
| 05:33:21 | goffa | since that's going to be a fact of life from now on |
| 05:34:07 | goffa | admittedly it has gotten rid of the left to wps "need" |

| 05:36:40 | Llorean | Ah, yes |

| 05:56:52 | goffa | what? |
| 05:57:24 | JdGordon | i cant think of a clean way to make the viewer icons customizable... |
| 05:57:30 | * | JdGordon has a very one track mind at times... |
| 05:57:45 | Llorean | Aren't the viewer icons customizable by viewers.config? |
| 05:58:34 | JdGordon | yeah, but we are moving to fully loadable icons, so the idea is to let the user load a bmp file with icons for each plugin |
| 05:58:50 | Llorean | As part of the build, or as a theme step? |
| 05:58:59 | JdGordon | theme |
| 05:59:13 | Llorean | Then let them provide a custom viewers.config? |
| 05:59:14 | JdGordon | to go with fs 7013 |
| 05:59:49 | JdGordon | well, the big problem is how to handle the image they need to load... |
| 06:00 |
| 06:00:40 | Llorean | Why not just have a viewers.bmp for themes. |
| 06:00:55 | Llorean | It contains the bitmaps for viewers.config in sequential order, so it has to have an appropriate matching viewers.config |
| 06:01:04 | Llorean | If viewers.config is longer, use the hex-code ones in it for any missing ones. |
| 06:01:53 | Llorean | That way you never have to fear a theme overwriting your customized viewers.config, and as long as you keep the SVN order and add to the end, your new ones won't conflict with your theme. |
| 06:02:57 | JdGordon | ... I tihnk I know how to handle it from a users point-of-view... its the code part thats hard :p |
| 06:03:05 | Llorean | That way you don't have to do any real matching, you just treat the viewers.config as entries 0-N, and match bitmaps 0-N from viewers.bmp with them, right? |
| 06:03:44 | Llorean | What's the difficulty with the code? You don't have to do any "real" matching, just assume they're in the same order in viewers.bmp as in viewers.config and let the users make errors if they must. |
| 06:03:48 | | Quit BHSPitLappy (Remote closed the connection) |
| 06:03:50 | JdGordon | I'm planning to let the user give an index in viewers.config so more than 1 plugin can use the same icon |
| 06:04:25 | Llorean | I don't like that. |
| 06:04:34 | Llorean | I don't like the idea of viewers.config ever being touched by themes. |
| 06:05:22 | Llorean | It's a functional file, and I shouldn't have to worry about it unless I manually modify it. |
| 06:05:39 | JdGordon | it would load viewer_icons.config, viewers.config would only be used to map the extention to a plugin, so themers wouldnt touch it |
| 06:06:10 | Llorean | And viewer_icons.config would be a list of viewers and what icon went with them? |
| 06:06:25 | Llorean | One of that file per theme? |
| 06:06:38 | JdGordon | i guess so |
| 06:07:00 | | Join crwll [0] (n=crawlie@a88-114-143-95.elisa-laajakaista.fi) |
| 06:07:09 | JdGordon | or, we go the other route and give each plugin a bmp in viewers.config |
| 06:07:32 | JdGordon | which would probably waste heaps more RAM and slow down boot... but be more flexible |
| 06:07:32 | Llorean | See, I'd rather something like.. |
| 06:08:07 | Llorean | Hm |
| 06:08:30 | Llorean | Is there an icon size restriction with the new method? |
| 06:08:41 | JdGordon | up to 24x24 atm |
| 06:08:49 | JdGordon | but that may end up being target dependant |
| 06:08:55 | Llorean | What I'd like to see, as I said, is a single bitmap file. |
| 06:09:04 | Llorean | Width of the bitmap being the icon width for that theme |
| 06:09:12 | Llorean | Height being a multiple of the font height for that theme |
| 06:09:23 | Llorean | So you can just divide its height by the font height to get the number of icon's you've got |
| 06:09:26 | JdGordon | thats how the main icons are loaded.. excpet horizontal strip, not verticle |
| 06:09:41 | Llorean | Vertically is better in this case. |
| 06:09:47 | Llorean | That way they can be arbitrary width |
| 06:09:50 | Llorean | And matched by font height |
| 06:10:02 | Llorean | Well, arbitrary within the 24 maximum |
| 06:10:08 | JdGordon | all icons need to be the same dimensions.. |
| 06:10:17 | Llorean | Yes, per theme |
| 06:10:32 | Llorean | 24x24 is the maximum |
| 06:10:41 | Llorean | If someone uses 6x6 you only have to display that 6x6 |
| 06:10:52 | Llorean | And you can tell if it's 6x6 is the .bmp is 6 wide, and the font set for that theme is 6 tall |
| 06:11:04 | Llorean | That way you aren't forcing oversized or undersized icons. |
| 06:11:12 | JdGordon | display the first 6x6 rect in a 24x24 rect if the font is small? |
| 06:11:29 | Llorean | What do you mean "in a 24x24 rect"? |
| 06:11:36 | Llorean | Why do you have to draw the full 24x24? |
| 06:11:59 | Llorean | People should match their icon set to the theme. |
| 06:12:02 | JdGordon | if the iconset uses 24x24 icons, but the font size is 6x8 for example |
| 06:12:20 | Llorean | That shouldn't happen unless someone creates a theme poorly, or changes to a font not compatible with the theme. |
| 06:12:47 | JdGordon | right, s it works now by assuming the themer isnt stupid, it centers the icon in the size of one cell... |
| 06:12:49 | JdGordon | brb |
| 06:12:50 | | Quit crwl (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
| 06:13:07 | Llorean | But why do you need a full sized cell? |
| 06:18:04 | Llorean | As far as I'm concerned, themes should have an icon size set somewhere, or it should be defined by the font height. One or the other, but it shouldn't always use 24x24 cells for the icons. That's incredibly restrictive to those of us who like to have many, many lines on the screen. |
| 06:21:27 | JdGordon | noo.... the max icon size that can be loaded is 24x24... you can load any size smaller than than |
| 06:21:31 | JdGordon | that* |
| 06:21:47 | Llorean | There should be one icon size per theme then. |
| 06:22:25 | JdGordon | icon size is based on the theme bmp that is loaded |
| 06:22:36 | Llorean | I still think a viewers.bmp would work then. |
| 06:23:13 | Llorean | I think using a text file to point to various things introduces a lot of complication and room for error. |
| 06:23:37 | Llorean | Yes, you may have to repeat an icon or two, but I don't think that'll have a large negative effect if they're within a single, fairly small, bitmap |
| 06:23:37 | JdGordon | amiconn: didnt really like that becuase it stops you from adding plugins in the middle of he file |
| 06:24:09 | Llorean | It stops you from adding plugins in the middle of viewers.config, sure, with an existing theme that has icons. |
| 06:24:33 | Llorean | Is there some reason we need to be able to add plugins in the *middle* of the file? |
| 06:25:03 | JdGordon | wasnt it only done recenlty with adding the .mpeg extension? |
| 06:25:06 | JdGordon | it keeps it neater |
| 06:25:14 | JdGordon | and chanes its position in the open with menu |
| 06:25:38 | Llorean | With official themes, any time a new plugin is added, we'd have to add a new icon anyway, right? |
| 06:25:45 | Llorean | Or at least, add a new line to duplicate an icon. |
| 06:25:52 | JdGordon | yes |
| 06:25:55 | Llorean | It's the same amount of work to just fix the .bmp |
| 06:26:26 | | Quit safetydan ("CGI:IRC (EOF)") |
| 06:26:38 | Llorean | I'm curious what the problem is, since either way you have to "fix" the theme |
| 06:28:06 | JdGordon | need extra ram useage becuase icons would double up, and umm... |
| 06:28:21 | JdGordon | if we give each plugin an index into viewers.bmp then there is no problem |
| 06:28:28 | pearldiver | interesting |

| 06:29:32 | Llorean | JdGordon: Maybe if only viewers.bmp is present, treat it as a sequential list, but allow an additional viewer_index.config that allows them to point to multiple lines of viewers.config if it's present? |
| 06:29:50 | Llorean | I'm just worried that the code to handle it will cancel out any saved RAM from preventing the few double ups there may be. |
| 06:30:01 | | Quit Febs (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
| 06:30:03 | Llorean | In fact, you *can't* save RAM |
| 06:30:10 | Llorean | You have to assume that there will be NO double ups, to allow flexibility |
| 06:30:14 | Llorean | Meaning you have to reserve all that space anyway |
| 06:30:32 | Llorean | If you're reserving it, then you might as well use it, and keep the code to handle it as simple as possible. |
| 06:31:36 | JdGordon | your 100% correct, but.. (always a but :D) either way we need to get an index into the bmp, so viewer_index.config might work |
| 06:32:30 | Llorean | Yes, but one way has only one index per bmp, the other way allows for the possibility of multiple indexes per bmp, complicating the code. |
| 06:33:18 | JdGordon | not at all, becuase the current code already stores an icon for each.. change this to an index (which is sort of already done anyway)... |
| 06:33:31 | | Quit johnnyoc3 ("ChatZilla 0.9.78.1 [Firefox 2.0.0.3/2007030919]") |
| 06:33:37 | JdGordon | the difference is having a max of 32 different icons, or 32 icons with double ups.. |
| 06:33:48 | JdGordon | or.. 32 icons with 64 plugins, and 32/32 |
| 06:33:59 | Llorean | Ah, I see, store an index for each plugin, point to the icon. |
| 06:33:59 | | Quit Rick ("I… don't need to be here.") |
| 06:34:11 | Llorean | I was thinking store indexes for the icons describing which extensions they represented. |
| 06:34:29 | Llorean | That should be fairly simple then. |
| 06:34:51 | Llorean | If there's no descriptive file, assume they're matched sequentially, if the descriptive file exists, use it to pair them? |
| 06:35:09 | JdGordon | that would probably work |
| 06:35:22 | JdGordon | seen as the icon size must be the same as the rest of the icons |
| 06:35:33 | JdGordon | the hard part is still loading the icons into some buffer.. |
| 06:35:37 | Llorean | Yeah |
| 06:36:02 | JdGordon | well, actually, thats easy... its figuring out which of the possibly 4 (!) buffers to load into |
| 06:36:18 | JdGordon | main screen icons, remote screen icons, main viewers, remote viewers |
| 06:37:41 | JdGordon | unless... we add the plugins to the main iconse bmp |
| 06:37:50 | Llorean | Why not? |
| 06:38:20 | JdGordon | well, adding a themeable icon to the main set would break all exsitsing sets |
| 06:38:38 | Llorean | Ah |
| 06:38:56 | JdGordon | although, for simplicities sake, I tihnk thats acceptable |

| 06:39:06 | JdGordon | unless a better solution can be found |
| 06:40:01 | JdGordon | also, we are not ifdeffing out icons in the enum, so even if a target doesnt have the radio, the radio icon will still be loaded |
| 06:40:14 | JdGordon | which is ok in the core, but with viewers it gets a bit more wasteful |
| 06:40:53 | JdGordon | bugger it.... thats the way to go |

| 07:12:50 | ptw419 | ah wait the build |
| 07:13:06 | Llorean | It's the current source code, neither day old nor a build |
| 07:13:19 | ptw419 | yes, sorry |
| 07:14:14 | JdGordon | crap... how is it supposed to figure out how wide each icon is if the number is variable? |
| 07:14:29 | JdGordon | before viewers it does bmp.width / icon_count |
| 07:14:32 | Llorean | JdGordon: That's why I said the file should be tall. |
| 07:14:45 | Llorean | Height could then use the font height, and width would be the width of the file. :) |
| 07:15:00 | Llorean | Just make that a rule for themeing: Your icons must match your chosen font's height. |
| 07:15:14 | JdGordon | but then you cant load a smaller iconset than your font |
| 07:15:37 | JdGordon | e.g a 12x12 iconset with a 16x19 font |
| 07:15:41 | Llorean | True |
| 07:16:19 | Llorean | Does this need to be possible, honestly? Icons should be a part of a theme. |
| 07:16:39 | Llorean | If they're to stand on their own, there needs to be an icon description file anyway, to tell it what set of icons to load and how many there are. |

| 07:21:49 | JdGordon | hopening to have everything except charcell finished tonight though |
| 07:21:59 | midkay | pretty cool, that was quick. |
| 07:22:08 | midkay | i can start working on some color icons.. i already created a nice "folder" one. |
| 07:22:30 | JdGordon | go for it :) |
| 07:22:45 | midkay | any thoughts on size? you said 8x8 before... i guess that sounds fair? |
| 07:22:48 | | Quit rotator () |
| 07:23:21 | Llorean | I assume icons respect 255,0,255? |
| 07:23:30 | * | Llorean wishes we'd picked 254,0,255 or 255,1,255 |
| 07:23:55 | midkay | Llorean: yes, they should just like any other bitmap. |
| 07:24:32 | JdGordon | midkay: my sansa uses the default font size, so 6x8 colour would be nice :p (/me really has to get a better theme on it :) |
| 07:24:34 | Llorean | midkay: I wasn't sure if that was an aspect of the WPS display, or an aspect of bitmap loading. |
| 07:24:42 | JdGordon | and yes, colour icons respect 255,0,255 |
| 07:24:49 | JdGordon | b+w is white transparent |
| 07:25:08 | Llorean | The first set should match the current icon dimensions, since they're to go with the default font. |
| 07:25:18 | midkay | Llorean: oh, ok. well FYI, it's how it works in the code.. bitmap_transparent.. |
| 07:25:23 | midkay | or transparent_bitmap, i forget. :) |
| 07:25:34 | Llorean | midkay: Alright, just making sure. :) |
| 07:25:41 | midkay | just a bit of background :) |
| 07:25:53 | midkay | i already created a nice 8x8 icon though!!!! i don't wanna lose it! |
| 07:26:13 | Llorean | So save that for set #2 |
| 07:26:15 | Llorean | :-P |
| 07:26:20 | midkay | haha. no way! :( |
| 07:26:32 | JdGordon | :) 8x8 is a better size than 6x8 anyway |
| 07:26:39 | midkay | it'll be the same height, just a little wider.. i think that sounds fair for color LCDs which tend to be bigger than the archos lcd the icons were originally designed for? |
| 07:26:47 | JdGordon | which would work for the default font seen as the height is the same |
| 07:27:01 | Llorean | Yeah, the smallest color screen is 128x128, which is 12 pixels wider. |
| 07:27:13 | Llorean | So you can steal two of them... if you must... |
| 07:27:14 | Llorean | :-P |
| 07:27:17 | _jhMikeS_ | shouldn't we just break down and add alpha bitmaps? |
| 07:27:28 | midkay | i think we can afford 2 pixels.. especially on screens like 320 in width, like 3x the archos LCD width :) |
| 07:27:29 | Llorean | _jhMikeS_: Then we have to blend. |
| 07:27:53 | Llorean | midkay: Yeah, but you assume for the worst case (128x128) not the best. :-P Still, two pixels is fair. |
| 07:27:55 | _jhMikeS_ | which is no big deal really...and can be fast. I offer to implement it to prove it |
| 07:28:18 | Llorean | _jhMikeS_: It can be fast, but it's still slower than without it, isn't it? |

| 07:28:52 | Llorean | I'm just worried about making a bad situation worse. |
| 07:29:17 | midkay | it'd seriously be nice to have, especially for plugins.. even amiconn's suggestion of a simpler, quicker 0/25/50/75/100% alpha.. |
| 07:29:24 | _jhMikeS_ | well, for icons it's not much...and for the rest...optimize font drawing or something to make up for it. |
| 07:29:25 | Llorean | It would definitely look nice. |

| 07:30:41 | | Quit Jon-Kha_ ("leaving") |
| 07:30:56 | jhMikeS | We could have a couple transparency formats - 1bit a 5bit - and the mask should just be a separate plane |
| 07:32:26 | jhMikeS | right now I need to add the fix that will let video always play. it happens to be that the sleep in pcm_mute is the reason for all the trouble |
| 07:34:10 | jhMikeS | the fix will make it irrelevant because it shouldn't even matter if it's there |
| 07:34:31 | Llorean | Then why is it there? |
| 07:35:43 | jhMikeS | pcmbuf_pause calls pcm_mute to stop pops, but I removed it for some hardware |
| 07:35:50 | Llorean | Aaah |
| 07:37:08 | jhMikeS | I really think the buffer shouldn't mute anything. For TLV and UDA it turns out that the order you do things determine whether or not you get pops...and those don't do it. And for the Gigabeat it apparently gets races to the finish before a problem shows up. |
| 07:37:43 | Llorean | So it's a workaround rather than a fix, and not a particularly beneficial one overall? |
| 07:38:11 | jhMikeS | what's that...the muting. I think it's a bit of a hack, yeah |
| 07:38:58 | jhMikeS | I removed it because the muting would screw up the radio which voice was being used with the radio and it would silence every time a clip played |

| 07:42:27 | Llorean | It's probably the general portalplayer mash, combined with some extra slowness the Sansa seems to have (at least the UI seems slower on it than on my Nano, though I'll admit the screens a bit bigger) |
| 07:42:35 | jhMikeS | that FIQ handler is just odd...does the OF actually send data to I2S that way. |

| 07:43:57 | jhMikeS | It really should use some kind of automatic DMA transfer if it can do it |

| 07:48:33 | midkay | is that actually used anywhere? i've *never* seen it. |
| 07:48:43 | midkay | can you search the tree for it? |
| 07:48:54 | Llorean | Sounds like it'd show in playlists for queued files maybe? |
| 07:49:06 | midkay | Llorean: well, i've never seen it there.. never ever. |
| 07:49:21 | midkay | sounds possibly like something that might have been in a far earlier release (like 1.3).. |
| 07:49:25 | Llorean | I never use "queue" or even look at the contents of my playlist, so it's just random guessing |
| 07:50:18 | midkay | it seems to me, by the way, that queue works the same as insert.. |
| 07:50:18 | JdGordon | playlist_viewer |
| 07:50:30 | midkay | JdGordon: huh, odd.. well alright :) |
| 07:50:46 | Llorean | The same as insert how? |
| 07:51:21 | midkay | ah. i just checked the manual.. never mind. (apparently queue will delete the file from the playlist after it's played.) |
| 07:51:26 | Llorean | Yep |
| 07:51:54 | midkay | i wish we had some sort of.. hmm.. "play from this file onwards after the current track ends" insert-option. |
| 07:52:17 | Llorean | Like, to skip to another point in the same playlist? |
| 07:52:48 | Llorean | You can already do it with folders, with the "Play next" option. |
| 07:52:54 | kkurbjun | llorean, I don't think the buttonlight/backlight problems are related to the chnages I made |
| 07:53:23 | midkay | Llorean: no, more like.. i'm in the middle of a dynamic playlist of DCFC - Plans and i want to start on track 5 of DCFC - Transatlanticism and continue from there onto track 6, 7.. - after the current Plans song is done. |
| 07:53:24 | kkurbjun | I found that on my player it's dependent on whether you touch a button while the splash is showing |
| 07:53:26 | Llorean | kkurbjun: Okay. I just know that I noticed them after updating today, and I'd previously updated before your changes, so they seemed most likely |
| 07:53:35 | midkay | i didn't realize Play Next worked on folders, but i mean more specifically jumping straight to a song. |
| 07:53:52 | kkurbjun | for example if I touch right on the plus it happens, if I don't touch anything then everything works ok |
| 07:54:08 | Llorean | midkay: Click on track 5 and choose "play next" and you should get the whole folder, starting on track 5. Not *quite* what you want though, since at the end you'd get 1-4 (assuming shuffle was off) |
| 07:54:09 | kkurbjun | can you check if it's the same for you? |
| 07:54:27 | midkay | Llorean: no, it will play *only* track 5 and totally wipe the rest of the playlist.. that's what i understand. |
| 07:54:28 | kkurbjun | I mean if I don't touch anythign til the backlight fades out |
| 07:54:30 | Llorean | kkurbjun: For me, if I don't touch the plus, after I unplug the backlight will not come on |
| 07:54:33 | midkay | Play next. |
| 07:54:34 | midkay | Replaces all but the current playing track with track(s). Current playing track is queued. |
| 07:54:38 | Llorean | kkurbjun: If I touch the plus to make sure the backlight is on when I unplug, it's fine |
| 07:54:58 | Llorean | midkay: Oh, right. |
| 07:55:11 | Llorean | midkay: For some reason my brain was thinking that "Play Next" worked like select in the browser, rather than insert. |
| 07:55:19 | kkurbjun | what about when you are loading? if I jsut power on the device and then dont touch anythign till after the backlight fades out it seems to work fine |
| 07:55:33 | kkurbjun | I don't get the dead screen or the weird buttonlights |
| 07:55:54 | Llorean | kkurbjun: Yeah, if I power on the device, the buttonlights are on. Then if I don't press anything, the backlight goes out, it comes back when I press buttons, and everything is fine |
| 07:55:58 | midkay | what we need is a "Play selected next" for single songs and "Play from here next" or something for this-song-and-onwards. |
| 07:56:05 | Llorean | The button LEDs fade when the backlight goes out, and never come back (they were never meant to be on) |
| 07:56:42 | kkurbjun | yep, that's strange, the symptoms are a bit different on my player |
| 07:56:43 | | Quit pearldiver (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
| 07:58:03 | Llorean | Well, it's consistent |
| 07:58:12 | Llorean | The button LEDs are on every boot, and stay on until the first backlight fade. |
| 07:58:37 | Llorean | The backlight works fine _unless_ it fades during a USB connection. If the backlight is off when I disconnect USB, it won't come back on until I reconnect USB or reboot |
| 07:58:39 | jhMikeS | Llorean: well, video should start all the time now...try it out |
| 07:59:14 | Llorean | jhMikeS: Alright, I'll wait 'till the official build finishes and load it up on my Sansa. |

| 07:59:37 | jhMikeS | I've got one more update coming to mpegplayer itself though, so wait a few. I'll put it in now. |
| 07:59:42 | kkurbjun | my steps to prevent the bug are to: |

| 07:59:42 | DBUG | Enqueued KICK kkurbjun |
| 07:59:42 | kkurbjun | 3) the buttonlights will then be on at first |
| 07:59:42 | kkurbjun | to keep the bug from happening I |
| 07:59:43 | *** | Alert Mode level 1 |
| 07:59:43 | kkurbjun | 1) power on the device |
| 07:59:45 | kkurbjun | 2) let it go through the full boot sequence till the backlight fades out (the button leds do not turn on during the initial boot) |
| 07:59:48 | kkurbjun | oopps |
| 08:00 |
| 08:00:13 | kkurbjun | sorry, I didn't realize that it was going to put those as new messages each |
| 08:00:37 | kkurbjun | I'm sorry, first sequence should be steps to cause bug |
| 08:00:48 | Llorean | kkurbjun: If I don't press *anything* the button LEDs still come on |
| 08:01:21 | kkurbjun | hmm, ok, I'm going to keep messing around with this and see if I can figure out what else may have caused this |

| 08:03:50 | jhMikeS | some volatiles that need to be there |
| 08:03:50 | Llorean | Will it speed up stopping? It recently started taking 2 or 3 seconds to stop on my player |
| 08:04:32 | jhMikeS | that's probably because the remaining data was being waited for to play instead of the thread just exiting |

| 08:11:04 | Llorean | JdGordon: Well, if the defaults change sizes then we can change wherever the default size is defined, right? |
| 08:11:05 | amiconn | *Iiuc, bah |
| 08:11:56 | Llorean | JdGordon: Wasn't there a thought to have target-specific defaults eventually anyway, if we go with target-specific fonts? |

| 08:12:07 | JdGordon | yes, and yes |
| 08:12:10 | midkay | hmm... for the color icons. not too sure what to do for coloring. for a few of them i can give them a nice shaded appearance (like folder) but for the other relatively barebones ones.. should they be black? or a lighter more solid fill? maybe to make them easier to identify.. any thoughts? |
| 08:12:27 | Llorean | So it needs to be set somewhere in the config-blah.h anyway |
| 08:12:38 | JdGordon | midkay: they would probably need a whole theme going... so whatever |
| 08:12:52 | midkay | JdGordon: what do you mean? |
| 08:13:03 | Llorean | midkay: For now I'd go black border with a medium-gray fill for contrast to the light blue default background (similar to the splashes) |
| 08:13:37 | midkay | Llorean: but the problem is that most of them are so.. thin... that there's not really any area for "fill". |
| 08:13:56 | Llorean | Well, if there's no area for a fill, I guess just black for now. |
| 08:14:02 | midkay | i think for some of the file view icons it'd be nice to give them some kind of dark color tint to make them more identifiable? dark red for music, dark green for .. whatever..? |
| 08:14:16 | midkay | dark dark.. like subtle. 48,0,0 or something for a dark red. |
| 08:15:02 | Llorean | Hm, I'd have to see how it ends up looking, I think |
| 08:15:11 | jhMikeS | if it always reloads on a tight loop, it shouldn't affect it one bit then so there's no need for #ifdef'ing it anyway |
| 08:15:13 | Llorean | As long as it's not too, I dunno, varying. |
| 08:15:20 | Llorean | Like, save colors for just a few specific types maybe. |
| 08:15:29 | Llorean | Like, music, and playlists, and maybe videos. |
| 08:15:33 | midkay | kinda hard to say.. yeah.. :\ it just seems kinda odd to have like, this beautiful shaded realistic folder icon among a sea of pure black icons. |
| 08:16:06 | Llorean | midkay: Well, really, just do what you see fit and we can argue about them after if they look stupid. :-P |
| 08:16:13 | midkay | haha. they will :D |
| 08:16:27 | Llorean | jhMikeS: Video seems to play fine on my Sansa now, and the tick-tick-tick is fixed (the one presumably fixed by your BSS change) |
| 08:16:47 | midkay | what about like red for system/rockbox files (WPS, RWPS, config, rolo firmware..), green for music/photos/video, blue for.. whatever else.. blah. just thinking aloud. |
| 08:16:50 | jhMikeS | oops, I left an order switchup that shouldn't be there though |
| 08:17:24 | jhMikeS | I think too much time is spent in that FIQ handler |

| 08:18:31 | amiconn | midkay: Speaking about icon looks, what should the 'system' icon (in svn) actually resemble? |

| 08:19:18 | midkay | amiconn: it was some sort of shield.. i came up with a few different ones that hardly made any sense and i guess that one was chosen. if you've got another, feel free :) |

| 08:19:53 | amiconn | JdGordon: oh, forgot that one |
| 08:20:15 | JdGordon | ? |
| 08:20:21 | amiconn | Loadable bitmap width is limited because of on-stack buffer constraints. Height isn't limited that way |
| 08:20:36 | jhMikeS | I guess the using the COP for video keeps the CPU from bogging too much but playback is another story |
| 08:20:36 | amiconn | So one reason to use a vertical strip... |
| 08:20:47 | JdGordon | guess we are flipping then :'( |
| 08:21:19 | midkay | damn! |
| 08:21:29 | midkay | i just drew out this nice horizontal strip. oh well. |
| 08:22:07 | midkay | easy fix actually.. |
| 08:22:45 | JdGordon | easier for you than me... soo much code to change |
| 08:22:46 | JdGordon | :'( |
| 08:23:03 | Llorean | jhMikeS: Are you using the "no-vinyl" audio patch? |
| 08:23:14 | Llorean | jhMikeS: There's currently a few issues with how the hardware is initialized. |
| 08:23:17 | jhMikeS | no |
| 08:23:23 | midkay | JdGordon: aww, sorry :( |
| 08:23:28 | midkay | i can fix the icon bitmaps if you want.. |
| 08:23:30 | jhMikeS | I need to get that codec datasheet |
| 08:23:36 | midkay | or did you have an easy way to output them? |
| 08:23:54 | JdGordon | i dumped them from a plugin.. so was easy |
| 08:23:59 | Llorean | jhMikeS: Try this patch: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6908 |
| 08:24:15 | amiconn | JdGordon: I would expect this to be two little changes in the icon drawing function... |
| 08:24:26 | Llorean | Or maybe the one from Andrew Green, I haven't tried it, I think it's just a louder version |
| 08:24:33 | jhMikeS | I was supposed to get the datasheet, guess I have to ask Bagder |
| 08:24:50 | * | Llorean would like to see you have the datasheet, yes. |
| 08:25:22 | JdGordon | amiconn: yeah, it is... but we decided to tack the viewers onto the end, so its a bit more than 2 changes |
| 08:25:24 | jhMikeS | well, he said to ask him :) I don't know if he wants to email it though |
| 08:25:25 | midkay | JdGordon: into a long strip? can you do that again for a vertical one? |
| 08:25:35 | JdGordon | midkay: course :) |
| 08:25:48 | midkay | JdGordon: alright then, saves me time :) *continues coloring* |
| 08:25:57 | midkay | is that a lot of work to change in the code? how long do you expect it to take? |
| 08:26:05 | JdGordon | 2 min :p |
| 08:26:14 | midkay | haha. |
| 08:26:24 | midkay | then i'll export these for an initial test in a moment.. |
| 08:26:51 | Llorean | jhMikeS: You probably just need to remind him. |
| 08:27:54 | jhMikeS | I think something is wrong in the color too |

| 08:30:50 | jhMikeS | not sure |
| 08:30:56 | jhMikeS | I should test backdrops |
| 08:31:22 | JdGordon | bah, the video screen isnt high enough to display every icon in one screen |
| 08:31:33 | Llorean | jhMikeS: Colors look fine normally to me. |

| 08:31:50 | JdGordon | yeah, had to do that |
| 08:31:53 | Llorean | jhMikeS: But watching a video, it does look a bit blue tinted. |
| 08:32:00 | * | JdGordon back soon |
| 08:32:07 | Llorean | jhMikeS: Could it be in the adaptation of the ASM optimizations from the Gigabeat? |
| 08:32:09 | midkay | ok. |
| 08:33:20 | jhMikeS | could be that it's not right for this but I see "leaky colors" in all components |
| 08:34:04 | Llorean | Hm, okay |
| 08:34:17 | Llorean | I haven't looked very hard. :) |
| 08:36:08 | jhMikeS | no, something is goofy...blue and red have huge jumps about up to level 24 and then no change above that. for green, level 48 |
| 08:36:35 | jhMikeS | for green above that it's starts getting a yellowish tint |

| 08:40:23 | midkay | JdGordon: let me know when you return. |
| 08:41:11 | jhMikeS | I see the difficulty...I wonder if that can generate interrupts itself |
| 08:41:58 | jhMikeS | it would have to in order to ever be able to work correctly or be read _really_ often |
| 08:43:16 | jhMikeS | you can't poll it like that or wheel values alias each other and you might go through the whole cycle by the next read |

| 09:04:04 | JdGordon | yeah |
| 09:04:06 | midkay | makes sense... 176 px high... |
| 09:04:11 | midkay | because of backdrops.. |
| 09:04:18 | midkay | but that still needs to be increased! |
| 09:04:21 | JdGordon | but thats an evil limitation |
| 09:04:29 | amiconn | Backdrops are checked in another place |
| 09:04:53 | midkay | but it makes sense why it's hard-limited to 176 in that respect.. unless there's another reason. |

| 09:09:48 | jhMikeS | why not just change the bitmap loader to accept limits or no limit on a w/h if it's -1 or something? |
| 09:10:04 | amiconn | The width limit is necessary because of the line buffer |
| 09:10:26 | amiconn | The height limit is just a sanity check that is no longer needed |
| 09:10:39 | jhMikeS | the linebuffer could be provided externally or use the default if NULL |

| 09:27:32 | Llorean | GuardianHead: They're not downloadable, scroll down as the instructions tell you to |
| 09:27:47 | Phillip | i assume it would be F-series, but id rather not find out the hard way that i was wrong |

| 09:34:09 | midkay | (that's what i meant by both my last 2 comments.) |
| 09:34:48 | midkay | cool though.. hey.. first colored icons EVER in rockbox :) |
| 09:35:07 | midkay | indeed, first bigger than 6x8, as far as i've ever heard or seen. |
| 09:35:15 | | Quit miepchen^schlaf (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) |
| 09:35:52 | SliMM | there should be a wiki page for icon sets, just like for WPSs |
| 09:35:55 | GuardianHead | There was somebody who made their own custom mod of rockbox in here, but I don't remember their name - any ideas? |
| 09:36:15 | GuardianHead | he was staff or a helpful idler or something :) |
| 09:36:25 | B4gder | someone in here made a mod? noooo... :-P |
| 09:36:31 | jhMikeS | JdGordon: cool. One thing is that icons shouldn't have to worry about margins. add the spacing in drawing instead. I'm just guessing at what's going on there. |
| 09:36:45 | GuardianHead | well B4gder a mod that he made downloadable |
| 09:36:59 | SliMM | GuardiabHead: most of the people in here code rockbox |
| 09:37:07 | B4gder | GuardianHead: still, that applies to just about everyone in here |
| 09:37:14 | ptw419 | what usually happens on an unsupported device if rockbox boots? |
| 09:37:21 | JdGordon | jhMikeS: i dont tihnk so, they are drawn to a pixel, not pixel+offset... |
| 09:37:23 | SliMM | GuardiabHead* |
| 09:37:23 | Llorean | SliMM: The icon sets should mostly be parts of whole themes. |
| 09:37:40 | SliMM | llorean: great |
| 09:37:42 | B4gder | ptw419: if rockbox boots, is it really unsupported? |
| 09:37:47 | GuardianHead | SliMM your client needs nick-completion. |
| 09:37:55 | SliMM | GuardianHead: yeah |
| 09:37:58 | ptw419 | true |
| 09:38:02 | SliMM | GuardianHead: sorry |
| 09:38:11 | jhMikeS | JdGordon: I meant leaving blank rows and colums in icons like is done with glyphs |
| 09:38:47 | SliMM | GuardianHead: anyway, search the forums for custom builds, take a look in the tracker for patches etc. |
| 09:39:37 | SliMM | kde-look.org has nice icons |
| 09:39:46 | GuardianHead | thanks SliMM |
| 09:39:48 | JdGordon | jhMikeS: you mean force the artist to put the gap in? |
| 09:39:57 | B4gder | ptw419: so what exactly do you want to know? |
| 09:40:11 | | Quit Phillip ("Thanks!") |

| 09:48:14 | ptw419 | I just wanted to know whats the first thing to expect in getting an unsupported device to work w/ rockbox |
| 09:49:00 | B4gder | ptw419: did you read the NewPort wiki page? |
| 09:49:14 | jhMikeS | just use the Rolling Stones tongue logo :) |
| 09:49:22 | SliMM | ptw419: find someone interested in porting rockbox to that device |
| 09:49:34 | SliMM | ptw419: someone that can do that |
| 09:49:39 | ptw419 | not recently. but i will. |
| 09:50:22 | B4gder | ptw419: the first step is usually to just alter some text or something in the OF |
| 09:50:46 | B4gder | I mean the first software change |
| 09:51:03 | GuardianHead | holy shit I didn't know the nano has a built in gameboy emu, you guys are awesome! |
| 09:51:18 | jhMikeS | built in? |
| 09:51:29 | GuardianHead | the nano build of rockbox, yeah |
| 09:51:54 | SliMM | is java mobile platform opensource? |
| 09:52:00 | ptw419 | well i'm working on the Gigabeat S. So far we've managed to disable the signature checks in the boot loader |
| 09:52:01 | jhMikeS | it hides in the ROMs of most DAPs actually |
| 09:52:21 | B4gder | ptw419: wow, cool! |
| 09:52:28 | scorche | SliMM: please stop asking about unrelated topics in here... |
| 09:52:41 | B4gder | ptw419: so now you can modify strings in the firmware and still boot it? |
| 09:53:03 | SliMM | scorche: if it is opensource someone could try porting it to rockbox |
| 09:53:08 | ptw419 | well it will boot, but the shell won't |
| 09:53:22 | ptw419 | or i should say the firmware half way boots |
| 09:53:59 | scorche | SliMM: that doesnt make that question on-topic |
| 09:54:04 | ptw419 | From what I understand there are probably other sig checks that prevent executables from running |
| 09:54:21 | LinusN | amiconn: there? |
| 09:54:40 | SliMM | scorche: fine.. |
| 09:55:13 | GuardianHead | On a nano, is the only way to shut it off to hold down play/pause for a long long time? |
| 09:55:35 | scorche | GuardianHead: i would hardly call 5 seconds a long long time.. |
| 09:55:45 | midkay | scorche: it's actually like 3 seconds. |
| 09:55:57 | GuardianHead | well the previous installation I had, which was by someone else, there was a menu option |
| 09:56:01 | Llorean | I wouldn't mind a "Shut Down" option in the main menu, honestly |
| 09:56:09 | GuardianHead | menu -> shut down -> shut down |
| 09:56:20 | scorche | midkay: same point though |
| 09:56:22 | midkay | menu -> shut down sounds nice.. |
| 09:56:31 | GuardianHead | he also had a reboot to main firmware option, but that didn't work :P |

| 09:56:49 | Llorean | JdGordon: We all use Gimp. :-P |
| 09:56:55 | JdGordon | not gimp |

| 09:57:11 | SliMM | JdGordon: GIMP is not simple but good |

| 10:03:02 | Llorean | GuardianHead: Technically speaking, everything you see on your monitor is pixel art. |
| 10:03:08 | Llorean | It's just putting it together by pixels that is irritating. |
| 10:03:25 | Llorean | JdGordon: Clearly you should code a vector icon system so that they can readily be scaled. :-P |
| 10:03:50 | B4gder | and make them 3D |
| 10:03:55 | B4gder | so that they can rotate nicely |
| 10:03:58 | Llorean | kkurbjun: Everything seems to be working as it should again. |
| 10:04:05 | SliMM | llorean: actually, pixel art is (now) drawing images pixel by pixel |
| 10:04:15 | Llorean | B4gder: Doesn't SVG have a 3D extension? |
| 10:04:28 | B4gder | we need our own format! |
| 10:04:30 | B4gder | ;-P |
| 10:04:55 | Llorean | SliMM: Yes, but I can draw pixel by pixel anything you see on the screen, therefor saying "Pixel art looks weird" is inaccurate: Anything could and can be pixel art. |
| 10:05:03 | * | JdGordon has never used goto before... how do you say where the label is? |
| 10:05:04 | SliMM | should i use a single color argument for my opacity fncs or rather red green and blue arguments? |
| 10:05:06 | Llorean | Clearly proprietary formats are the way to go for all images we use. |
| 10:05:18 | Llorean | JdGordon: label: |
| 10:05:26 | petur | a set of (temporary) scaled bitmaps could be generated when the user changes font |
| 10:05:58 | Llorean | petur: Quick and dirty (newwidth/oldwidth)*x type scaline? |
| 10:06:00 | Llorean | scaling |
| 10:06:01 | SliMM | llorean: you need very much talent and imagination to draw everithing on screen pixel by pixel |
| 10:06:17 | SliMM | llorean: and patience :P |
| 10:06:39 | midkay | SliMM: doesn't change the fact that you could do it if you wanted to.. :) |
| 10:06:51 | SliMM | midkay: of course not |
| 10:06:57 | scorche | it really isnt that bad with planning and practice... |
| 10:07:14 | Llorean | SliMM: I have absolutely no artistic talent. If I very, very, very badly need to draw a picture in my head, I've always had to put it together mostly pixel by pixel to have any chance of it coming out how I imagine it. |
| 10:07:25 | Llorean | Anyway, this is falling aside the point. |
| 10:07:33 | SliMM | yes :)) |
| 10:08:30 | Llorean | jhMikeS: Just as a note, yes, stopping is much, much faster on my gigabeat again with a recent build. :) |

| 10:17:13 | LinusN | crop: not that i know of |
| 10:17:20 | B4gder | I don't think so, no |
| 10:17:43 | LinusN | crop: here's your chance to contribute :-) |
| 10:17:58 | petur | didn't pondlife make a mem graph somewhere? maybe in some comment in the code |
| 10:18:05 | crop | That's a pity since if the two get more real life nobody will know how the stuff works |

| 10:22:53 | Llorean | Somewhat similar to the artifacts I was getting with speex files made with an old speex encoder, only more often. |
| 10:23:00 | jhMikeS | I have a video that does that about 5min into it but that's a long time to wait to test it |
| 10:23:15 | Llorean | jhMikeS: The sample video I'm uploading does it all over the place. LOTS. |
| 10:23:22 | Llorean | 77% done uploading. |
| 10:23:30 | linuxstb | And it worked prior to jhMikeS's improvements? |
| 10:23:35 | jhMikeS | that's good cause it'll get the job done faster |
| 10:23:36 | Llorean | linuxstb: Yup. |
| 10:23:55 | linuxstb | On all your targets? |
| 10:24:08 | Llorean | linuxstb: It's the video from aznofazns or whatever his name was that I downloaded and then told him "It works for me, though you encoded at 30fps, which wasn't working fullscreen on gigabeat as of your posting" |

| 10:24:25 | jhMikeS | yes, yes...I know...some stupid thing I did...inevitable when redoing things like this |
| 10:24:29 | linuxstb | I don't think I saw that video. |
| 10:24:32 | crop | LinusN: yes, that could be a starting point. But what I miss is an explanation what it (e.g. IRAM) is and when should something placed there and... Ok, I could delve into the code and try to understand that but... |
| 10:24:33 | Llorean | It's a video from someone else, and I'm not sure what format the audio is to encode it down. |
| 10:24:41 | Llorean | linuxstb: You never needed to, his original problem didn't exist. :) |
| 10:25:04 | Llorean | I'll have a link for it in about a minute 'n a half, I think |
| 10:25:22 | LinusN | crop: IRAM is not a rockbox invention, it is the internal static RAM in the cpu |
| 10:25:40 | B4gder | even linux calls it iram |
| 10:25:49 | LinusN | but yes, it would be nice with a brief summary |
| 10:25:52 | * | jhMikeS wondering if dual core targets can have CPU specific memory mapped to the same address...would be nice |
| 10:26:31 | LinusN | i didn't even know that the cpu's had dedicated ram |
| 10:26:51 | B4gder | dedicated memory mapped registers I guess |
| 10:26:58 | jhMikeS | ?? I wish...it would get rid of all the CURRENT_CORE stuff in the scheduler |
| 10:27:02 | Llorean | linuxstb, jhMikeS: http://filequest.net/file/4650/mpegaudio.mpg.html |
| 10:27:30 | Llorean | Let me know when both of you have downloaded it, so I can delete it. Arguably he shouldn't have redistributed it (and thusly so shouldn't I) |
| 10:27:47 | JdGordon | woot! customizable viewers.config works :D |
| 10:27:58 | jhMikeS | cool, that ones working |
| 10:28:10 | crop | Do all the cpu's (supported by RB) have it? Or is it cpu specific? I assume that the amount is but the presence itself? |
| 10:28:53 | jhMikeS | the gigabeat cpu doesn't |
| 10:29:01 | linuxstb | The amount varies from about 4KB up to about 128KB. The most common size is 96KB. |
| 10:29:10 | linuxstb | I thought the gigbeat had around 4KB of iram? |
| 10:29:24 | jhMikeS | is that for the caches though? |
| 10:29:38 | linuxstb | I don't know. I always thought cache memory was separate. |
| 10:30:03 | markun | yes, it has 4KB of SRAM which we currently don't use |
| 10:30:29 | markun | and separate instruction and data caches |
| 10:30:32 | B4gder | our irams are often (always?) SRAM |
| 10:30:33 | linuxstb | Llorean: Downloaded. |
| 10:30:42 | jhMikeS | markun: oh? and why not? |
| 10:31:05 | markun | jhMikeS: what would you use it for? |
| 10:31:18 | crop | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_RAM |
| 10:31:39 | jhMikeS | ummm...to make it a bit faster? it's never fast enough...could help video out |
| 10:32:00 | crop | But then the compilers must have an option that tells how much IRAM is present, right? Because that section may become too large. |
| 10:32:06 | markun | jhMikeS: well, you can try it of course |
| 10:32:13 | jhMikeS | of course :) |
| 10:32:13 | B4gder | crop: the compiler doesn't use it, our code does |
| 10:32:13 | Llorean | jhMikeS isn't going to be happy until the Gigabeat is able to play .vob files straight from the DVD. |
| 10:32:30 | jhMikeS | straigh up, word |
| 10:33:07 | markun | crop: check the .lds files in firmware/ |
| 10:33:10 | crop | B4gder: and what happens if a data structure is declared with IRAM attribute but there's no space left? Something gets overwritten? Or seg fault? Or...? |
| 10:33:12 | JdGordon | anyone want to guess how much this patch adds to the h300 bin? |
| 10:33:20 | B4gder | crop: it fails to link |
| 10:33:21 | Llorean | JdGordon: "Too much" :-P |
| 10:33:22 | jhMikeS | that's just the sort of thing "excessive cpu" is for |
| 10:33:42 | JdGordon | oh, wait... 3k isnt all that bad |
| 10:33:57 | * | JdGordon thought it was 13k :p |
| 10:34:36 | jhMikeS | why is the cpu frequency set to be 17MHz anyway on gigabeat? any reason? |
| 10:34:49 | Llorean | jhMikeS: It's just displaying that because scaling is disabled. |
| 10:34:51 | crop | B4gder: so only static objects can be placed into iram? Well, auto vars are on the stack, so probably yes. |
| 10:35:05 | Llorean | jhMikeS: For the brief period scaling was enabled it used to show 100/300 I believe. |
| 10:35:06 | B4gder | crop: sure, or we can copy data there during run-time |

| 10:35:28 | jhMikeS | even if it's disabled it should show the right value I suppose |
| 10:35:48 | Llorean | Should, yes. |
| 10:35:54 | jhMikeS | Llorean: I seem to remember battery life suffering for it? |
| 10:36:10 | Llorean | Scaling either didn't change it, or made it worse, I'm not sure measurements were conclusive. |
| 10:36:19 | Llorean | But it didn't make it better, or at least not measurably so. |
| 10:36:34 | crop | B4gder: ok. And I assume that we have IRAM_SIZE defined somewhere in config.h? And if it's not present then it's defined as 0. And RB code takes care of that (if there's no space nothing gets copied there), right? |
| 10:36:34 | markun | strangely enough it made it worse |
| 10:36:47 | B4gder | crop: yes |
| 10:37:16 | jhMikeS | where's IRAM_SIZE? |
| 10:37:27 | markun | jhMikeS: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/viewfile/Main/GigabeatInfo?rev=2;filename=Power.html |
| 10:37:29 | crop | B4gder: aha! That the RB bones :-) |
| 10:37:35 | JdGordon | amiconn: ok, this should be easy to get working on the charcell now... no more passing ICON's around.. everything is using the identifier |
| 10:37:44 | markun | jhMikeS: it's in the configure script I think |
| 10:37:51 | markun | not sure |
| 10:38:13 | markun | hm, no |
| 10:38:18 | B4gder | well, strictly speaking the IRAMSIZE is in firmware/apps.lds |
| 10:38:36 | markun | jhMikeS: btw, in that table you can ignore the "Not playing lcd off" values |
| 10:38:40 | B4gder | but it _should_ be in the config-*.h files ;-) |

| 10:40:24 | JdGordon | got a new base bmp for you to play with if you want |
| 10:40:28 | jhMikeS | shows that rb is quite efficient too |
| 10:40:36 | markun | yes, compared to the OF |
| 10:41:20 | jhMikeS | whatever is wrong in rb scaling seems to be wrong in OF as well since they compare nicely |
| 10:41:23 | midkay | JdGordon: oh dear.. |
| 10:41:47 | Siltaar | hello, |
| 10:41:53 | jhMikeS | or maybe doing it right is still just wrong |
| 10:41:56 | JdGordon | the only change is the viewer icons are on the end |
| 10:41:58 | linuxstb | Llorean: I don't know if this is the problem, but the audio stream in that file doesn't start on an mpeg frame boundary, which could be unique to that file (amongst all our test files) - the old code should have handled that case though. |
| 10:41:59 | Siltaar | I got a question about Rockbox |
| 10:42:11 | markun | jhMikeS: one other strange thing: after booting rockbox it consumes around 70mA while idling. If you play a song and stop it it only consumes 31 while idling. |
| 10:42:12 | Siltaar | when it is installed |
| 10:42:18 | Llorean | linuxstb: The file used to work fine until a recent change by jhMikeS. |
| 10:42:21 | crop | BTW: firmware/app.lds doesn't have the standard RB header (with ascii art) |
| 10:42:31 | Siltaar | it's stored in the mass storage of the device right ? |
| 10:42:33 | midkay | JdGordon: i see, go ahead and link it or whatever.. |
| 10:42:51 | jhMikeS | linuxstb: where did the code check it frame boundaries before? |
| 10:42:58 | | Quit PaulJam (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) |
| 10:42:58 | Llorean | Siltaar: Rockbox itself is yes, the bootloader usually needs to replace or exist alongside a part of the original firmware though. |
| 10:43:00 | Siltaar | But, isn't there also a CMOS part somewhere to launch the OS ? |
| 10:43:17 | linuxstb | jhMikeS: It would have been how it recovered from audio decoding errors. |
| 10:43:20 | markun | Siltaar: well, most have some flash rom with a bootloader |
| 10:43:25 | Llorean | Siltaar: CMOS is a PC term and not really applicable. |
| 10:43:36 | jhMikeS | markun: something in the pcm stuff? |
| 10:43:44 | Siltaar | Llorean, usually, there's smth like 2MB of ROM for the bootloader ? |
| 10:43:53 | Llorean | Siltaar: But yes, usually there's a bootloader, something that loads data from the disk for execution. If there's not one, we need to inject one, otherwise we just make use of the existing one. |
| 10:44:08 | markun | jhMikeS: looks like it. Maybe the dac is not initialised correctly? |
| 10:44:10 | jhMikeS | linuxstb: ok, I'll compare and see what I stupidly neglected or changed and get it back |
| 10:44:52 | jhMikeS | markun: could be...though I wouldn't know yet without having had much datasheet time there |
| 10:45:07 | Llorean | jhMikeS: Can I safely delete the file from the server or are you still receiving? |
| 10:45:19 | jhMikeS | Llorean: I'm finished, thanks |
| 10:45:27 | midkay | JdGordon: you realize that the 16-bit ones are horizontal? |
| 10:45:32 | Siltaar | Llorean, so... in general we rarely re-program this ROM... only for bootloader developpement ? (and the lifetime of this ROM is about 100 000 writing cycle ? So no problem ?) |
| 10:45:56 | JdGordon | midkay: it is? |
| 10:46:06 | Llorean | Siltaar: Basically, yes. |
| 10:46:13 | midkay | default_icons.6x8x16.bmp is horizontal for me.. |
| 10:46:19 | jhMikeS | linxus: I assumed all was ok because that soviet cartoon video has frame errors but recovers |
| 10:46:20 | midkay | and incomplete, it'd seem |
| 10:46:22 | Siltaar | Llorean, great, thanks :-) |
| 10:46:32 | Llorean | Siltaar: In most recent players, their bootloader loads our bootloader from disk, then our bootloader loads Rockbox (or the original firmware) |
| 10:46:47 | Llorean | Siltaar: In fact there are very few players right now we reprogram the ROM in. |
| 10:46:53 | Siltaar | so we don't touch it at all |
| 10:46:55 | JdGordon | midkay: wierd... its correct here... anyway, the only difference is the pink instead of white |
| 10:47:04 | Siltaar | ok |
| 10:47:04 | midkay | JdGordon: resend please |
| 10:47:14 | Llorean | Besides, at 100,000 writes, at one write per day, you still have over 250 years worth of updates. |
| 10:47:38 | midkay | JdGordon: there we go. |
| 10:47:43 | JdGordon | :) |
| 10:47:46 | markun | Siltaar: I would still like to change the bootloader in flash for the Gigabeat, but we don't have enough info to do so currently. |
| 10:47:47 | midkay | that's a lotta icons... :) |
| 10:47:51 | jhMikeS | linuxstb: what software are you using to analyze the vids? |
| 10:47:54 | Llorean | markun: We might |
| 10:48:06 | Llorean | markun: Or we might be closer. |
| 10:48:14 | Llorean | markun: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=9846.0 |
| 10:48:26 | markun | Llorean: well, we can use the LCD init code from the OF, that's about the only thing missing |
| 10:48:28 | Llorean | At the very least, someone's playing with it. |
| 10:48:34 | Siltaar | Llorean, yes, it rather better (250 years) than mean MTBF of HDDs (34 years) |
| 10:49:05 | Llorean | Siltaar: It's good enough that we really shouldn't worry about writing to the ROM for firmware updates, at least. :) |
| 10:49:08 | markun | Llorean: wow, pretty cool! |
| 10:49:09 | Siltaar | that war already widely enough |
| 10:49:34 | linuxstb | jhMikeS: I dumped the audio stream with mplayer -dumpaudio. Then doing "file stream.dump" just tells me "data" - which means it doesn't start with an mpeg audio frame header. Then playing the stream with "madplay" gives me "sync errors" at the start of the file before it syncs and player. |
| 10:49:38 | linuxstb | ^and plays. |
| 10:49:45 | Siltaar | s/war/was |
| 10:50:05 | Llorean | linuxstb: So, it's a bad file that just happened to play right before? |
| 10:50:21 | linuxstb | I wouldn't call it bad, afaik it's perfectly legal. |
| 10:50:29 | linuxstb | But it's unusual... |
| 10:50:43 | Llorean | Ah |
| 10:51:08 | linuxstb | The same could happen if mpegplayer started playing the file from the middle. |
| 10:51:52 | linuxstb | i.e. audio packets in the program stream don't have to start on an audio frame boundary - incomplete frames are stored in each program stream packet. |
| 10:52:05 | linuxstb | But maybe the problem is elsewhere... |
| 10:52:12 | Llorean | Ah, so it'd need to handle that for seeking/resume anyway. |

| 10:58:38 | linuxstb | jhMikeS: No, but libmad expects to be given whole frames to decode at once, otherwise it returns a decoding error. |
| 10:59:19 | linuxstb | Which is a problem for the first frame. |
| 11:00 |
| 11:00:28 | jhMikeS | ok...I'm not entirely clear about everything on how libmad is supposed to work so this should be workable |

| 11:01:29 | jhMikeS | Is there any documentation available or is it all a "figure it out for yourself" deal? |
| 11:04:30 | linuxstb | I can't remember anything... I wrote the first mpa.c in Rockbox, and that was based on a sample libmad program I found on the web somewhere. |
| 11:05:23 | | Quit crop ("CGI:IRC") |
| 11:06:18 | linuxstb | I see you've changed the logic in audio_thread() though - e.g. removing the if (stream.next_frame) check before setting the pointer to the next frame. |
| 11:06:30 | preglow | it isn't exactly a surprise that it wants whole frames, is it? |
| 11:06:51 | * | jhMikeS isn't seeing where the old mpegplayer code takes any action to resync things - it just seems to use stream.next_frame just like now |
| 11:06:52 | preglow | anything else would mean it had to buffer internally, and that really isn't a codec job |
| 11:07:50 | jhMikeS | Well, libmad can seek it to the sync word anyway |
| 11:08:45 | linuxstb | jhMikeS: I'm not 100% sure what's going on either... |
| 11:09:06 | jhMikeS | preglow: well, the video decoder does it :) |

| 11:10:34 | jhMikeS | linuxstb: yeah, maybe that check should be there again...something I took out and mean to get back to, then forgot |
| 11:10:54 | linuxstb | The difference between the old and new code seems to be that you're using stream->next_frame even if there is a decoding error. The old code didn't appear to do anything to the input pointer in those cases. |
| 11:11:01 | jhMikeS | but that would just abort it anyway |
| 11:11:11 | linuxstb | Yes, I don't think that check is the issue. |
| 11:11:43 | linuxstb | But I don't understand why the old mpegplayer code worked at all.... |
| 11:12:49 | jhMikeS | I'm thinking it should search out the next syncword explicitly |
| 11:12:52 | linuxstb | It just seems to call mad_frame_decode() again with the same parameters. So it seems to be hidden inside libmad. |

| 11:29:07 | LinusN | markun: perhaps |
| 11:29:20 | jhMikeS | was just getting a basis for what going on and then to procede in a systematic way |
| 11:29:28 | markun | it's hard to add other languages, and you need huge tables for each voice |
| 11:29:41 | tucoz | markun, you said something about eSpeak being in active development and flite being not. Am i right? |
| 11:29:49 | markun | but yes, because it only uses recorded samples it sounds more natural |
| 11:30:02 | markun | tucoz: yes, that's correct |
| 11:30:07 | jhMikeS | the problem could be because it's resyncing |
| 11:30:47 | jhMikeS | and by that I mean the effort to do so might be messing with something |

| 11:40:24 | linuxstb | SliMM: I think the general approach in Rockbox is for functions not to check their parameters - it's the responsibility of the calling function to pass valid values. |
| 11:40:32 | PaulJam | were the wps tags for crossfeed and crossfade removed with the tokenizer update? |

| 11:40:49 | Llorean | GodEater: Considering who's the student, I probably don't have much to worry about at all. ;) |
| 11:41:08 | preglow | SliMM: definitely what he said, if every function were to check if parameters were legal, we'd be wasting tons of kb |
| 11:41:10 | Llorean | preglow: I dug up some pictures with google image search when I heard mentors were getting t-shirts. I'll do anything for a free t-shirt. |
| 11:41:12 | GodEater | Llorean: very true :) |
| 11:41:38 | SliMM | lnuxstb: then i won't check if the function draws outside the screen either |
| 11:41:40 | GodEater | Llorean: I think you can limit your mentoring to "yeah that works, well done!" :) |
| 11:41:56 | linuxstb | preglow: Just so you know, I'm very happy to help with the WMA mentoring. |
| 11:42:12 | linuxstb | SliMM: Clipping is a separate question... |
| 11:42:22 | Llorean | GodEater: Well, I am likely to know who to go to with any tough questions. :) |
| 11:42:22 | preglow | linuxstb: which is cool :) |
| 11:42:28 | B4gder | and FYI: I'm in a mail discussion with the speach guy |
| 11:42:34 | linuxstb | SliMM: Your function should probably clip. |
| 11:42:37 | B4gder | since he's accepted by another project too |
| 11:42:44 | Llorean | B4gder: He did get accepted? |
| 11:42:49 | preglow | i know i'll vanish a couple of weeks and i would very much prefer it if i didn't have any internet related responsibilities during that time |
| 11:42:50 | B4gder | he's "slotted" for us |
| 11:42:53 | preglow | but we'll see |
| 11:42:58 | Llorean | B4gder: Google-representative told me he was more than one person under the line for the cancer place. |
| 11:42:59 | B4gder | but I think he is for the other project too |
| 11:43:02 | preglow | it's not like it's much work anyway |
| 11:43:16 | B4gder | Llorean: hm, odd that's not what the cancer admin told me... :-O |
| 11:43:30 | Llorean | B4gder: Well, this was as of "Conflict resolution" time yesterday. |
| 11:43:38 | B4gder | I see |
| 11:43:42 | Llorean | B4gder: I got one of the google reps to check on him for me since nobody from the cancer place was there. |
| 11:43:52 | SliMM | lnuxstb: ok. how does the lcd_bitmap_part() function work? i mean how does it know the width /* and height */ of the image? |
| 11:43:59 | B4gder | I see, I mailed their admin/mentor and the student |
| 11:44:10 | Llorean | B4gder: He also doesn't show up here: http://code.google.com/soc/lurie/about.html |
| 11:44:15 | crop | Why do we need iramcopy and iedata? |
| 11:44:19 | scorche | B4gder: he is not listed on their page |
| 11:44:24 | B4gder | ok |
| 11:44:25 | linuxstb | SliMM: The "width" and "height" parameters... |
| 11:44:31 | B4gder | then I guess he's more on our side ,-) |
| 11:45:05 | linuxstb | SliMM: You can probably get inspiration from the lcd driver code in firmware/drivers/lcd-16bit.c |
| 11:45:22 | Siltaar | B4gder, in Llorean if you miss someone to handle Real-time text-to-speech I could / might offer to help, if needed. |
| 11:45:46 | B4gder | Siltaar: thanks! Markun is the assigned mentor for that project |
| 11:45:50 | scorche | http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/KnowledgeMap will also hopefully be handy for the students as well =) |
| 11:45:53 | SliMM | is fb data a 2D array? |
| 11:46:00 | SliMM | fb_data |
| 11:47:09 | markun | linuxstb: someone is going to speed up GCC, that's nice |
| 11:49:26 | scorche | markun: yeah...i saw that...looked interesting...there were a few other interesting projects, but they escape me atm |
| 11:50:03 | Siltaar | Markun, I will speak about Real-time text-to-speech with my school mentor, and it seems that I can do the job _IF_ needed. |
| 11:50:13 | Llorean | I wonder who got the most students. |
| 11:50:15 | SliMM | void (*lcd_bitmap_part)(const fb_data *src, int src_x, int src_y, |
| 11:50:17 | SliMM | int stride, int x, int y, int width, int height); |
| 11:50:43 | SliMM | it doesn't specify the width of the image itself |
| 11:50:46 | scorche | Llorean: they said it a few times, but i cant remember...statistics are coming soon |
| 11:50:55 | B4gder | apache got many... |
| 11:51:07 | Llorean | scorche: Ah, I had just noticed eclipse got 21 and was curious what the max was. |
| 11:51:25 | B4gder | 24 if I counted right |
| 11:51:26 | scorche | i think one of the BSDs got around 25 |
| 11:52:36 | scorche | KDE was a big one |
| 11:52:47 | crop | Any comments to my comments to plugin.c? |
| 11:52:57 | linuxstb | SliMM: "stride" is the full width of the input bitmap. |
| 11:52:58 | B4gder | but those projects are huge of course |
| 11:53:07 | crop | ..except from "make a patch"? :-) |
| 11:53:11 | SliMM | linuxstb: oh |
| 11:53:12 | linuxstb | SliMM: The "GraphicsAPI" wiki page may also help |
| 11:53:35 | SliMM | linuxstb: i got it, thanks |

| 11:54:12 | linuxstb | Yes, I would expect google to limit the number of slots for first-time orgs. |
| 11:54:26 | B4gder | yes it makes sense |
| 11:54:33 | scorche | that was teh primary reason we got that many...i mean look at scumm...7 ;) |
| 11:54:45 | Llorean | handhelds.org only got 2. |
| 11:54:54 | B4gder | even subversion only got 4 |
| 11:54:58 | GodEater | I'm pretty bummed our Viewports didn't get accepted - I was looking forward to that |
| 11:55:18 | * | scorche would like a couple more slots though for obvious reasons... *cough* |
| 11:55:21 | Llorean | Hehehe |
| 11:55:40 | B4gder | scorche: you were my tshirt chance! ;-) |
| 11:55:44 | linuxstb | scorche: Are you still going to get an av300? |
| 11:56:00 | Llorean | It's clearly all about the t-shirts. |
| 11:56:07 | markun | wow, python got 34 slots! |
| 11:56:19 | scorche | linuxstb: likely, but it is quite a but further down on the priority list....have to look at getting a job now.. |
| 11:56:30 | linuxstb | markun: Scary, that's a whole bar full of students... |
| 11:56:35 | B4gder | gosh |
| 11:57:08 | scorche | B4gder: so you were going to be my mentor?....would have been fun! ;) |

| 11:57:53 | B4gder | well, subversion has _loads_ of google employees... |
| 11:58:04 | B4gder | (and got 4) |
| 11:58:32 | B4gder | some of the gsoc admins on google even is involved in that |
| 11:58:59 | B4gder | I guess they could't assign too many then as it would look bad ,-) |

| 12:07:07 | Llorean | smiler777: No need to repeat yourself. |
| 12:07:09 | linuxstb | smiler777: Just ask |
| 12:07:12 | Llorean | smiler777: You should instead just ask the question. |
| 12:08:00 | smiler777 | 1. How long the ipod can working without charging? (sorry for bad english - im from russia) |
| 12:08:30 | SliMM | smiler777: about 3 hours |
| 12:08:45 | Llorean | SliMM: Closer to 6, usually |
| 12:08:51 | Llorean | SliMM: See the IpodRuntime page. |
| 12:09:04 | SliMM | llorean: mine works for about 3 hours |
| 12:09:06 | crop | jhMikeS: (excuse me please for repeating the question, you may have missed it) Why do we need iramcopy and iedata? |
| 12:09:12 | scorche | smiler777: it depends on the type of ipod as well...(ie flash based or hard drive) |
| 12:09:20 | Llorean | SliMM: And your point is? |
| 12:09:34 | Llorean | SliMM: Have you done a runtime comparison between Rockbox and the original firmware under identical conditions? |
| 12:09:38 | SliMM | scorche: 30gb ipod video he said |
| 12:09:46 | | Join BigBambi [0] (n=Alex@cpc2-nfds9-0-0-cust419.lei3.cable.ntl.com) |
| 12:09:56 | SliMM | llorean: i'm not comparing |
| 12:10:06 | Llorean | SliMM: Then please don't assume that your runtime is average. |
| 12:10:37 | SliMM | llorean: it runs for six hours if it just sits in your pocket |
| 12:10:56 | SliMM | llorean: but it usually doesn't |
| 12:11:10 | Llorean | Well, the standard for comparing times is "backlight off, just playing music" |
| 12:11:14 | smiler777 | Friends! im relash my ipod to rockbox yesterday.. He play about 3 hours. is it normal? |
| 12:11:41 | LinusN | crop: in the plugins you mean? |
| 12:11:46 | smiler777 | the backlight was off, device - locked |
| 12:11:47 | Llorean | SliMM: So please, if you're talking about pressing buttons, be clear, the backlight is a LARGE drain. |
| 12:11:57 | LinusN | crop: or in general? |
| 12:12:11 | Llorean | smiler777: Many, many factors can decrease battery life. |
| 12:12:12 | scorche | smiler777: normal for a battery that is far from its top performance, but generally, rockbox gets a longer runtime....you would be best to test for yourself on your own battery |
| 12:12:17 | | Quit PaulJam_ (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) |
| 12:12:33 | SliMM | smiler777: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodRuntime |
| 12:12:59 | crop | LinusN: in general and also in the plugins. |
| 12:13:02 | markun | smiler777: the ipod runtime for rockbox is pretty bad compared to the OF unfortunately |
| 12:13:05 | SliMM | smiler777: that is for just listenig to music |
| 12:13:24 | SliMM | smiler777: the second question? |
| 12:13:26 | LinusN | crop: the (i)data section contains initialized variables |
| 12:13:30 | scorche | SliMM: also, keep in mind that those were taken at various times and may not have been tested under reccent optimizations |
| 12:13:48 | crop | LinusN: and also my three points about plugin.c. Do the make any sense? Or do I understand everything wrong? |
| 12:13:51 | linuxstb | crop: IRAM is located at a different address to SDRAM. So when the plugin is built, the data/code that needs to be in IRAM is stored in those sections, and then copied to the correct address. Otherwise you would get binary files many MB in size (due to the gap between the two memory addresses). |
| 12:13:51 | LinusN | so when the application starts, it needs to be filled with the initialized values |
| 12:13:56 | SliMM | scorche: i'll keep that in mind |
| 12:14:30 | LinusN | the (i)datacopy section contains the initial data for the (i)data section |
| 12:14:57 | Llorean | SliMM: Ideally any battery benchmark should be directly compared to the original firmware (which is hard to benchmark) because battery condition is a large, large influence. |
| 12:15:09 | crop | LinusN: and why is copy zeroed out after copying it to iram? |
| 12:15:24 | markun | 5 out of 7 projects for VIM are mentored by Bram Moolenaar :) |
| 12:15:43 | LinusN | crop: where? |
| 12:15:45 | linuxstb | crop: Because that's part of the BSS (zero-initialsed section) section of the main binary. |
| 12:15:46 | markun | he works for Google anyway |
| 12:16:00 | scorche | markun: a bunch of people were quite fond of the eclipse/vim project |
| 12:16:22 | LinusN | crop: we don't need the idatacopy section after copying it to the data section, so we reuse it for bss |
| 12:17:06 | * | LinusN won't get a t-shirt..... :-( |
| 12:17:44 | smiler777 | 2. about video files.. what tupes of files the ipod can played? my ipod "see" only mpeg and when the play is on - FPS is very smal - about 5 per sec. Should i convert video to some speciall format? |
| 12:17:47 | crop | LinusN: I must re-read what you said and make a little sketch to get it. Thanks! |
| 12:18:06 | petur | As Google recommends assigning a second mentor, there must be a way to let them know the names? |
| 12:18:08 | crop | What about the three points? (sorry for nagging...) |
| 12:18:16 | LinusN | crop: the concept is simple, but we abuse it a little in rockbox |
| 12:18:35 | Llorean | petur: There's no apparent way at least. Maybe the forms will change now that assignments are set. |
| 12:18:46 | Llorean | petur: But I think the "mentor" position is more or less informal outside of the paperwork. |
| 12:18:56 | LinusN | crop: what tree points? |
| 12:19:06 | | Quit petur ("CGI:IRC (EOF)") |

| 12:21:12 | LinusN | crop: 1) why would that be necessary? |
| 12:22:11 | LinusN | 2) again, why does it matter? |
| 12:23:20 | crop | LinusN: just to have all the vars as consistent as possible at any time during program execution |
| 12:23:43 | LinusN | 3) sounds sensible |
| 12:24:00 | LinusN | crop: that would only be a waste of code imho |
| 12:25:45 | linuxstb | petur: Maybe google don't want to have to send out T-shirts to backup mentors... |

| 12:26:37 | B4gder | we could have a rsoc and only hand out shirts! |
| 12:27:11 | scorche | well, they wanted a main one for a few reasons....1 single person is what works best in these situations (they should already be working with the community....1 person reviews them, etc |
| 12:27:27 | crop | LinusN: maybe. But p is copied to current_plugin anyway. But too early IMHO. Emptying current_plugin is not strictly necessary but I'm an idealist... |

| 12:28:09 | LinusN | crop: we can't afford idealistic code in rockbox, but yes, we can move the copying |

| 12:33:24 | markun | SliMM: and you want all pixels which are beyond the screen to be drawn on the borders? |
| 12:33:53 | SliMM | no, just not to be drawn at all |

| 12:35:07 | SliMM | if i draw a rectangle starting from x1 = -5 to x2 = 340, without that code or a similar one, wouldn't rockbox crash? |
| 12:35:32 | B4gder | but you want if()s not just clipping the values |
| 12:36:21 | B4gder | with that code you'll gather all outside-values to the border |
| 12:36:24 | markun | SliMM: ah, like that. I don't think it would crash but you would have to check the code |
| 12:36:54 | crop | LinusN: I don't understand what you want to tell. I mean the line 568 in plugin.c. Why is the absolute address compared? And how can this work? This can only work if the end addr is statically computed. I.e. dynamic plugin loading is impossible? |
| 12:36:56 | LinusN | B4gder: that depends on if the check is for each pixel or for the boundaries of the rectangle |
| 12:36:57 | markun | B4gder: I thought it was per pixel too but it's just for rectangles |
| 12:37:08 | B4gder | oh |
| 12:37:18 | * | B4gder shuts up and stands in corner |
| 12:38:24 | SliMM | well, i'm done with the basic functions |
| 12:39:14 | LinusN | crop: end_addr is created by the linker |
| 12:39:23 | SliMM | should i use LCD_WIDTH-1? |
| 12:39:27 | markun | SliMM: I just looked at the code and you don't have to check it yourself |
| 12:39:43 | SliMM | great :) |
| 12:39:51 | markun | check lcd_vline in firmware/drivers/lcd-16bit.c |
| 12:40:22 | SliMM | but still, no need of drawing pixels outside the screen |

| 12:54:23 | preglow | it might not really have to |
| 12:54:25 | pondlife | linuxstb: If you have a PP target around, you could maybe try it? |
| 12:54:43 | preglow | speex, for example, is supposed to fit in really little iram these days, and i believe the overhead of swapping out the iram it uses might be worth it |
| 12:55:26 | pondlife | Is speex using as little CPU as MP3 now? |
| 12:55:40 | preglow | right no, hell no |
| 12:55:43 | preglow | but it needs optimising |
| 12:55:46 | linuxstb | pondlife: I think I tried running codecs without IRAM once on my ipod - IIRC, the boost ratio hardly changed for icode, and didn't drop very much for idata. |
| 12:55:57 | preglow | it hardly uses any iram, mallocs extensively, and has no asm to speak of |

| 12:56:26 | preglow | i'm planning to stroke it vigorously, given time to do so |
| 12:56:33 | linuxstb | Are the mallocs in the codec itself, or the Ogg part? |

| 12:57:06 | linuxstb | Yes, code as well. |

| 13:01:48 | linuxstb | crop: That looks like a linker instruction, not asm |
| 13:01:58 | linuxstb | I'm guessing you're looking at a .lds file? |
| 13:02:36 | crop | linuxstb: yes. |
| 13:03:02 | linuxstb | It's just a pattern that matches section names (which are generated by gcc) and uses it to create the binary. |
| 13:03:10 | crop | I assume something like "place everything you've collected so far for bss here" |
| 13:03:46 | linuxstb | Yes - something like "put all the bss sections here." |
| 13:04:52 | crop | And another question (I'm not kicked yet? :-): pluginbuf is at the end. Why isn't PLUGINSIZE computed as MEM_SIZE - pluginbuf? |
| 13:05:49 | linuxstb | Isn't it the other way around? i.e. pluginbuf is computed as MEMSIZE-PLUGINSIZE? |
| 13:05:51 | crop | If PLUGINSIZE is defined too high the linker will complain (I hope), but if it's too low we'll waste space |
| 13:06:46 | crop | linuxstb: in app.lds, I see (at the end) that pluginbuf is set to what is the current adr. |
| 13:07:30 | crop | But I'm not very experienced in such things, I use my common sense |

| 13:19:56 | crop | crop: there can be a mismatch between the defined value and the real size of the pluginbuffer |
| 13:20:11 | linuxstb | crop: No, "PLUGIN_BUFFER_SIZE" _is_ the real size of the plugin buffer. |
| 13:20:30 | linuxstb | It's defined on a per-target basis, depending on available RAM and maybe other features of the hardware. |
| 13:21:09 | linuxstb | (in firmware/export/config-*.h) |
| 13:21:19 | crop | linuxstb: then there's a possibility of wasting memory (see above) if PLUGIN_SIZE is defined too low. |

| 13:21:56 | linuxstb | crop: I can't see how. |

| 13:58:07 | * | Nico_P 's application for the SoC was accepted :) |
| 13:58:43 | crop | In the app, iramcopy is set to the same address as iram. That's why I didn't understand why we make memcpy(iramstart, iramcopy, iram_size); in plugin.c. |

| 14:13:29 | crop | Hua, now the world is round again :-) |

| 14:14:48 | pondlife | And get rid of that stuff in playback.c... |
| 14:14:59 | crop | LinusN: if not the lds, then at least all the symbols (XXX_SIZE). They are duplicated now (in plugin.lds) |
| 14:15:12 | LinusN | that too |
| 14:15:19 | amiconn | crop: all iram section addresses are always different from their copy. That's because they're loaded to dram and then copied |
| 14:15:32 | amiconn | LOADADDR() is *not* an identity operator |
| 14:16:19 | linuxstb | But isn't there a danger of errors if we have many copies of very similar files? I don't think the .lds is that hard to follow, especially if some of the constants are moved to config-*.h |
| 14:17:31 | LinusN | linuxstb: perhaps, but i kind of like the targets to be more self-contained in some respects |
| 14:17:37 | crop | amiconn: I don't understand. Do you mean that after _iramcopy = LOADADDR(.iram); (app.lds) iramcopy will not point to the same address as iramstart? |

| 14:21:27 | LinusN | the LOADADDR() operator in this case will give you the start address of the iramcopy section |
| 14:23:36 | crop | LinusN: yes, but in app.lds we don't have AT(...) |
| 14:24:49 | LinusN | crop: i thought we were discussing plugin.lds |
| 14:26:09 | crop | LinusN: yes. I looked at the wrong .lds (app.lds) for a long time :-) |
| 14:26:43 | LinusN | it's done differently in app.lds, with the AT clause at the end of the .iram section definition |
| 14:26:47 | linuxstb | crop: Maybe looking at a map file will help - e.g. apps/plugins/pacbox/pacbox.map (a plugin which uses IRAM). This puts real numbers to the different variables. |
| 14:27:07 | linuxstb | (apps/plugins/... in your build directory) |
| 14:27:11 | LinusN | i'm not sure anymore what crop is trying to understand |
| 14:29:48 | LinusN | but i still think the lds files would be simpler without the preprocessor magic to hide the iram away from the targets that have none |
| 14:29:55 | LinusN | ets |
| 14:29:55 | crop | LinusN: I was confused by the statement memset(...) in plugin.c. I thout that it copies a buffer to itself since iramcopy is the same as iramstart |

| 14:30:24 | LinusN | memset() fills with zeroes, i assume you mean memcpy() ? |
| 14:30:34 | crop | LinusN: not memset, memcpy |
| 14:30:53 | LinusN | iramcopy is not the same as iramstart |
| 14:30:57 | linuxstb | crop: You realise that that function is called from the plugin itself - so the variables being passed are those from the plugin, which are from plugin.lds? |

| 15:13:46 | daurn | anyone in usa that can ship to me? |
| 15:14:08 | crop | amiconn: BTW: could you correct the copy/paste typo in the last commit by JdGordon? |
| 15:14:09 | amiconn | There are just 2 minor differences regarding dram handling, one is that when running from dram, the iram section can be reused (for bss, or in case of the core, stack) once it's copied, and the other is that the .data section doesn't need to be copied when runnning from ram |
| 15:14:58 | crop | amiconn: does the .data section contain initialised or uninitialised data? |
| 15:15:33 | | Quit qwx (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
| 15:15:46 | amiconn | Initialized. Uninitialized is .bss. There are 4 standard section names: .text, .data, .rodata and .bss |
| 15:16:33 | amiconn | For the core dram/iram init operations are done in crt0.S, but for plugins it's done in the plugin itself |
| 15:16:35 | crop | Is there some method to initialise structure members not by order but by names? The initialisation of the plugin_api structure is very fragile IMO |
| 15:17:30 | amiconn | We do it this way because plugins using iram need to stop playback (because they share iram with the codecs), and the plugin needs to have a chance to ask whether stopping is okay _before_ actually doing the iram copy |
| 15:17:59 | crop | amiconn: I asked because I wanted to know if memset(iramcopy, 0, iram_size); in plugin.c is necessary. It is. |
| 15:18:58 | amiconn | It is. It clears the .bss part that is shared with iramcopy |
| 15:19:19 | amiconn | Gcc relies on .bss being cleared, placing zero-initalized data there |

| 15:52:28 | kkurbjun | :), well while we are asking questions do you know what is stored in the first 100 bytes of DRAM? |
| 15:53:03 | markun | nothing is stored there |
| 15:53:07 | kkurbjun | on the gigabeat it really does not like that section to be overwritten |
| 15:53:09 | kkurbjun | hmm |
| 15:53:25 | markun | It was added by someone as some kind of precaution but it can be removed |
| 15:53:58 | markun | so you say it needs to be there? |
| 15:54:04 | markun | what happens if you overwrite it? |
| 15:54:58 | kkurbjun | I have not tried changing the linker script, I should see if that fixes the problem I was running into. If I overwrite it the screen washes out and it fails to boot. |
| 15:55:36 | kkurbjun | If I change the address to 0x0 in the bootloader that is instead of the 100 byte offset |
| 15:56:05 | kkurbjun | rockbox.gigabeat also seems to include that 100 byte offset though, so I'm not sure why overwriting it causes the player to fail |

| 16:09:13 | markun | and instead of having the vector at the beginning of crt0.S we reserve 0x100 bytes and then copy the vector there |
| 16:09:25 | JdGordon | bluebrother: thats the easy part :p |
| 16:09:36 | markun | I think it's very strange to do it like this |
| 16:10:00 | bluebrother | and how do you want to call it? From a new hardcoded entry in the context menu? |
| 16:10:16 | bluebrother | that context menu might change the button context ... |
| 16:10:44 | bluebrother | which leads me to thinking this idea is somewhat pointless |
| 16:11:15 | JdGordon | as a plugin, the first screen is a list of contexts |

| 16:13:51 | * | bluebrother was wondering about the notifications right this moment too |
| 16:14:02 | linuxstb | This context-menu talk reminds me of an earlier idea I had - context menus for the items in the root menu, which would be linked to the relevant settings screens. So for example, a long press on "Files" would give you file-browser related settings, "Database" would give you database settings and options etc... |
| 16:14:20 | preglow | linuxstb: sounds clever |

| 16:15:23 | DiODO | hi! |
| 16:15:27 | iwantanimac | I have checked the Wiki and the manual and it is unclear to me exactly what the numbers in the "Most Played" Database menu are. The first number seems to be playcount, but the second makes far less sense. Could anyone enlighten me? |
| 16:16:10 | linuxstb | JdGordon: I was hoping you would say that.... |
| 16:16:22 | * | bluebrother notices linuxstb noticing and refrains to note again |
| 16:17:01 | roolku | linuxstb: good idea, there are bookmark settings as well and on the "Settings" entry there could be "manage settings" |
| 16:17:11 | Slasheri | iwantanimac: that is the generated auto score for the track |
| 16:17:25 | Slasheri | hi roolku :) |
| 16:17:27 | iwantanimac | sorry, that would be "Last played tracks" not Most Played... |

| 16:17:37 | roolku | hi Slasheri :) |
| 16:17:45 | Lynx_ | Hi guys! Has it ever been considered to have 'shut down' as a main menu option? |
| 16:18:01 | bluebrother | Lynx_: why? |
| 16:18:26 | roolku | Lynx_: it exists already (but needs to be enabled) |
| 16:18:39 | Slasheri | iwantanimac: there is no "last played tracks" in the default menu. Probably you should check what is inside tha tagnavi*.config files |
| 16:18:42 | linuxstb | roolku: It does? Then let's enable it... |
| 16:18:53 | Lynx_ | bluebrother: somehow i dislike the long press |
| 16:19:12 | Lynx_ | roolku: enabled in the options or enabled at code level? |
| 16:19:22 | bluebrother | why do we need a menu entry for it? I don't think it's useful. |
| 16:19:34 | bluebrother | or, in other words: useless ;) |
| 16:19:34 | roolku | linuxstb: I better hope I haven't said anything wrong, but i am sure I have heard talk about not all archos having a shutdown key.... |
| 16:19:35 | iwantanimac | actually it's "List Played Tracks" but i'm an idiot... |
| 16:19:38 | * | roolku goes looking |
| 16:19:52 | Slasheri | iwantanimac: probably you have old build of rockbox then |
| 16:20:05 | Slasheri | iwantanimac: that menu has been replaced some times ago |
| 16:20:13 | iwantanimac | i do... but i still want to know what it is... |
| 16:20:14 | linuxstb | roolku: I seem to remember amiconn saying it could be useful on those Archos targets because of the very short hardware power-off time... But I could be wrong. |
| 16:20:22 | Slasheri | iwantanimac: then check tagnavi.config |
| 16:20:33 | Slasheri | that contains all information |
| 16:20:39 | bluebrother | roolku: iirc there is a patch in the tracker |
| 16:21:40 | Siltaar | Hum, markun, didn't you spoke about the CPU bandwith required by eSpeack to work this morning ? (I remember smth like 28MHz with an ARM7 or 9 but can't find anything in the logs...) |
| 16:22:09 | * | bluebrother leaves for a couple of minutes |
| 16:22:14 | linuxstb | bluebrother: A shutdown option could be quicker to use then having to hold play/pause for 3 or 4 seconds, which is what the ipods require - it's an extra-long press on ipods to still allow a normal long-press on play/pause to be used in Rockbox. |
| 16:23:23 | iwantanimac | linuxstb: I agree. The extra-long press is annoying. |
| 16:24:05 | linuxstb | Blame Apple for thinking a "stop" button isn't useful... |
| 16:24:14 | iwantanimac | lol yeah. |
| 16:24:29 | JdGordon | well smarty pants.... the backend code is done... which menu should each item point to? |
| 16:24:35 | iwantanimac | i only had an iPod for a weekend and it bugged me so much. |
| 16:25:07 | linuxstb | JdGordon: I'm not sure... That's the tricky part... |
| 16:25:18 | roolku | linuxstb bluebrother: it's in root_menu.c line 317 (only enabled for charcell) |
| 16:25:52 | markun | Siltaar: well, it was originally designed for ARM7 at 12MHz or something, but it has changed a bit since than so I don't know how much is needed right now |

| 17:20:34 | amiconn | linuxstb: Nope, from a german ebayer |
| 17:22:00 | perl|work | amiconn and that reason is...? |

| 17:22:53 | yoho | competition! |
| 17:23:01 | crop | amiconn: if the plugins using iram wouldn't need to ask whether the audio playback should be stopped, could we code plugin.lds in a way that made copying iram not necessary? I.e. layout the plugin address space so that that section gets loaded directly at the right address. |
| 17:23:03 | linuxstb | JdGordon: It seems to work well. Do you like the feature? |
| 17:23:17 | markun | they are just cheap because they are old and have a lousy firmware of course |
| 17:23:34 | markun | they can't even play video! |
| 17:23:59 | JdGordon | linuxstb: yeah, it effectivly doubles the amount of items in the menu.. so its good, the actual menus they open might need tweaking later.. but for now its good |
| 17:24:38 | markun | anyone in the Netherlands or in Paris planning to buy a F40? |
| 17:25:00 | elinenbe | you see this: http://code.google.com/soc/rockbox/appinfo.html?csaid=D6BA9A838F43B9D8 ? |
| 17:25:23 | elinenbe | the problem with not supporting jpeg album art tags is 90% of album art out there is configured like this. |
| 17:25:43 | elinenbe | along with music bought from itunes, allofmp3, emusic, and most blog mp3s |
| 17:25:59 | elinenbe | It's odd to not want to support what has become the standard |
| 17:26:05 | markun | :) |
| 17:26:21 | markun | elinenbe: animated icons are also normal for DAPs |
| 17:26:37 | JdGordon | markun: we can do that now! |
| 17:26:41 | markun | who knows, maybe we will support embedded jpegs after all |
| 17:26:42 | linuxstb | elinenbe: IIUC, most DAPs (including Apple's ipod firmware) don't actually read the images from the tags - they're extracted by a PC application and stored in an album art database. Which is exactly what Rockbox requires, apart from the fact that it uses the filesystem as the database. |
| 17:26:44 | markun | JdGordon: nooo! |
| 17:26:45 | JdGordon | well... soon |
| 17:27:05 | perl|work | haha |
| 17:27:30 | elinenbe | well, that is why rockbox is better than those other players. |
| 17:27:40 | markun | JdGordon: the newer irivers all use flash as the basis of their UI, maybe we should do the same :) |
| 17:27:56 | elinenbe | virtually every PC application also supports embedded album art. |
| 17:27:57 | markun | adobe flash, not flash rom |

| 17:29:40 | perl|work | amiconn ah, well yes, if you're looking for such options in a dap that is |

| 17:44:26 | markun | toffe82: the power management chip is the only other unknown? |
| 17:44:31 | Nico_P | sorry, the link is http://code.google.com/soc/rockbox/about.html |
| 17:44:47 | markun | Nico_P: I was wondering about that as well |
| 17:44:53 | pondlife | Nico_P: I was wondering about that - it looks like a Google Maps end point |
| 17:45:17 | Nico_P | pondlife: yeah i might be that. I've added my location info |
| 17:46:10 | toffe82 | markun: yes, it is from freescale and no datasheet available |

| 17:47:20 | Nico_P | roolku: I'm adding the crossfade and crossfeed tags to the WPS code... but crossfeed used to be %xd and that's a aproblem. how do you like %xe ? |
| 17:48:06 | pondlife | Nico_P: Any more plans on how you'll be attacking the playback stuff? Maybe pop up a wiki page? Certainly look at the stuff on http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SoftwareCodecPlayback ... |
| 17:49:19 | Nico_P | pondlife: thanks for the link. I haven't though about it much yet |
| 17:49:27 | pondlife | No problem, just wondered. |

| 17:50:06 | pondlife | About 161 bytes it appears ;) |
| 17:50:11 | roolku | Nico_P: I find it a little odd, to group cross-feed and cross-fade under the same first letter as they don't really have much in common |
| 17:50:20 | amiconn | Nico_P: What's the problem with %xd ? |
| 17:50:22 | roolku | Nico_P: but otherwise %xe is fine with me (assuming it doesn't clash with anything) |
| 17:50:41 | linuxstb | amiconn: They just feel natural to me - when I first tried the root menu patch, my instinct was to long-select on the items... |

| 17:52:04 | pondlife | Is %xf used? |
| 17:52:15 | Nico_P | roolku: in the pre-tokenizer code, they were %xd and %xf. Not my idea |
| 17:52:16 | pondlife | xf is a bit like Cross-Fade |
| 17:52:41 | Nico_P | pondlife: %xf IS crossfade :) |
| 17:52:49 | pondlife | Good :) |
| 17:53:04 | Nico_P | or at least was and will soon be again |
| 17:53:06 | pondlife | Does crossfeed really need a WPS tag? |
| 17:53:20 | Nico_P | not sure, but someone added it to the SVN code |
| 17:53:36 | pondlife | I can understand crossfade a bit, but crossfeed is like EQ... not something I'd want on a WPS.. |
| 17:53:44 | amiconn | Well, both are #swcodec only |
| 17:54:09 | amiconn | crossfeed belongs to sound settings though, while crossfade is a playback thing |

| 18:02:00 | pondlife | Soundstage? |
| 18:02:12 | roolku | with the options/settings in the context menu now, wouldn't it be good to remove the duplicates from the setting menu und tidy it up a little (i.e. move the contents of the General settings one level up)? |
| 18:02:13 | pondlife | HeadRoom is already a trade mark for a crossfeed amp |
| 18:02:21 | linuxstb | Stereo Depth? |
| 18:02:26 | perl|work | pondlife ah yes |
| 18:02:37 | Nico_P | pondlife: actually maybe it's not even worth it... It's not documented much (not in the wiki anyway)... I was just doing it for the sake of compatibility but if I'm going to change the tag, compatibility is not really respected |
| 18:02:39 | pondlife | linuxstb: Stereo Depth vs Stereo Width :) |
| 18:02:39 | roolku | (although there is at least one problem with the bookmark entry being optional) |
| 18:03:03 | pondlife | Nico_P: I would just scrap the tag to be honest. |

| 20:10:32 | GuardianHead | This guy modded the release of rockbox in several ways that I also thought were better, and since then I'd been using one of his builds |
| 20:10:32 | l2eM1x | sometimes im like "Its so hard being this perfect" |
| 20:10:48 | GuardianHead | last night I got the latest .rockbox and well....There are some things I don't like as much |
| 20:11:00 | GuardianHead | of course being a retard I didn't make a backup :) |
| 20:11:00 | l2eM1x | they dont support other builds here |
| 20:11:09 | GuardianHead | I know, I just want to find the guy |
| 20:11:10 | l2eM1x | oh you want to go back |
| 20:11:11 | l2eM1x | gotcha |
| 20:11:17 | linuxstb | GuardianHead: Then he's probably not a regular. Try the "unsupported builds" forum. |
| 20:11:30 | GuardianHead | I looked at the forum, didn't see an area like that |
| 20:11:35 | linuxstb | Or if your talking iriver, then the misticriver forums. |

| 20:12:30 | l2eM1x | does anyone know how i can position text in my WPS without using alignments |

| 20:18:23 | l2eM1x | it does work without the spaces |

| 20:37:31 | linuxstb | It's actually an old toshiba - they don't make them any more... |

| 21:04:35 | dsheets | anybody have experience with iPod serial hardware hacking? |
| 21:04:53 | linuxstb | dsheets: I don't believe anyone in Rockbox has tried it. |
| 21:05:23 | linuxstb | All I know is that the IPL kernel has a serial driver which doesn't work. |
| 21:05:33 | dsheets | linuxstb, crap... right now I just would like to get my computer talking to the Apple firmware. The next step would be integration into rockbox/ipl |
| 21:05:38 | linuxstb | (for PP502x based ipods) |
| 21:05:40 | perl|work | linuxstb vbr mp3s, non stop playbacl |
| 21:06:08 | linuxstb | dsheets: I guess you've seen the IPL wiki page about the protocol? |
| 21:06:38 | dsheets | linuxstb, yep. I've built the hardware and I've tested everything up to the dock connector with a loopback |
| 21:07:09 | perl|work | linuxstb, mp3s with full EQ on gives me about 14 hours in rockbox |
| 21:07:23 | dsheets | linuxstb, I don't seem to get any data to or from the iPod, though. I've sent the Apple Accessory Protocol commands, /dev/random, and various other things |
| 21:07:29 | dsheets | linuxstb, with no effect |

| 21:13:22 | l2eM1x | well as a general response I really have no idea haha |
| 21:13:33 | l2eM1x | it has to go in order from left center right |
| 21:13:48 | linuxstb | dsheets: 80MB is the entire partition. On a Nano that contains 3 images - "OSOS" (the main firmware), "AUPD" (an encrypted copy of the firmware written to flash), and "RSRC" (datafiles related to the Nike feature). |

| 21:16:29 | linuxstb | petur: Yes, many buttons can map to one action |
| 21:16:51 | petur | hmmmm.... I must be overlooking something |
| 21:17:11 | petur | ah... wrong context, silly me |
| 21:17:57 | Llorean | linuxstb: Do you know, was jhMikes' commit fixing the weird sound on that file? |
| 21:18:13 | petur | bah... CONTEXT_TREE maps BUTTON_ON to ACTION_NONE |
| 21:18:19 | amiconn | linuxstb: Thanks, that was quick. Could have checked myself though; was just grepping for CONFIG_BACKLIGHT :/ |
| 21:18:21 | Llorean | linuxstb: Also just to chime in on something discussed hours ago, I think the main menu's generally short enough that a "Shut Down" option wouldn't be clutter. |
| 21:18:53 | SliMM | did JdGordon finish his work on coloured icons? |
| 21:19:16 | amiconn | petur: It needs to map the actual press to ACTION_NONE whenever the button is either separated for short/long press, or is both used alone (short press only) and for combos |
| 21:19:40 | crop | linuxstb: and one more chime in: constants in app.lds and plugin.lds should be moved to target tree |
| 21:19:55 | petur | amiconn: thnx |

| 21:23:18 | linuxstb | Llorean: You don't consider menu option that's available as a button press in every screen clutter? I know people want a shutdown option, but I'm not convinced it deserves a place in the main menu... |
| 21:23:44 | Llorean | linuxstb: Almost any other button I would consider clutter. |
| 21:24:02 | DarkRedFlame | I would love to write it if I knew what I was doing, haha |

| 21:24:31 | DarkRedFlame | Hmm, I'll stick with my Sansa then for a while |
| 21:24:39 | Llorean | linuxstb: But somehow to me Shutting Down just doesn't feel cluttery. It's just a case of personal opinion though, I can easily see how it is, it just isn't to me. |

| 21:28:28 | Stalwart | i saw ipod backlight commit in log and have question - why the hell bootloader needs to enable backlight? |
| 21:28:30 | Rincewind | Llorean: do you want a shut down menu option even for devices that have a button for it? |
| 21:28:34 | perl|work | but page scrolling, is playing the track right away is the default behaviour? |
| 21:28:45 | Llorean | Rincewind: For consistency's sake, yes. |
| 21:28:56 | linuxstb | Stalwart: Why the hell not? |
| 21:29:05 | Llorean | Personally, I would prefer to use a menu option than a button anyway. |
| 21:29:07 | linuxstb | It tells you that it's working. |
| 21:29:19 | Rincewind | I wouldn't like that, because I like to wrap around the list to go to the items that come last in the list |
| 21:29:26 | l2eM1x | i would prefer a menu option myself |
| 21:29:29 | amiconn | I don't want a shutdown item in the menu for targets which don't need it |
| 21:29:32 | l2eM1x | as long as it wasnt easy to press |
| 21:29:34 | Stalwart | linuxstb: then firmware should light up backlight for the first time without fade |
| 21:29:43 | l2eM1x | on accident that is |
| 21:29:44 | amiconn | It just clutters the menu |
| 21:29:47 | Llorean | linuxstb: The "System" context menu could have it. |
| 21:30:01 | Stalwart | right now, with fade enabled, powering up my nano looks stupid - it lights up two times |
| 21:30:01 | p512o | howdy! thanks for the sansa port!! got it running on my e250 quite nicely.. |
| 21:30:05 | linuxstb | Llorean: Or just the top item in the System menu. |
| 21:30:06 | Rincewind | and I would hate it when I accidentally shut down my player when navigating the menu without looking too closely on the screen |
| 21:30:13 | Llorean | linuxstb: Either way, yes. |
| 21:30:15 | GuardianHead | !seen mikachu |
| 21:30:20 | l2eM1x | could it be on the very bottom of the screen |

| 21:30:29 | * | linuxstb not seen mikachu for a while |
| 21:30:31 | l2eM1x | like hooked to the bottom - still on the main menu but at the bottom? |
| 21:30:40 | perl|work | l2eM1x theres always a list wrap... |
| 21:30:40 | l2eM1x | then it wouldnt clutter the menu |

| 21:30:43 | amiconn | The only target that really needs it is the archos player. Annoying thing, that shutdown item.... |
| 21:30:50 | linuxstb | GuardianHead: Not recently... |
| 21:30:55 | GuardianHead | thanks. |
| 21:30:57 | l2eM1x | i hate shutting down my ipod |
| 21:31:03 | l2eM1x | its a real pain in the but sometimes with a cover on |
| 21:31:06 | perl|work | amigan gigabeat shutdown is sort of weird as well |
| 21:31:28 | p512o | i got only basic c knowledge, no experience with hardware/driver progarmming.. but i have had some years of delphi programming |
| 21:31:38 | Rincewind | I wouldn't mind to have shut down on the context menu for system |
| 21:31:55 | Stalwart | i need to set up toolchain and start hacking and commiting patches... |
| 21:32:04 | Rincewind | could be useful if someday the stop button breaks... |
| 21:32:11 | Stalwart | if noone listen to me, then i must make fixes myself ;[ |
| 21:32:12 | l2eM1x | anybody with a ipod 5.5 g willing to test a wps for me? |
| 21:32:16 | p512o | i'm running linux and got the toolchain installed.. but how could i figure out how to get microsd slot working? |
| 21:32:28 | linuxstb | Stalwart: I don't have a Nano, so have never seen that effect... |
| 21:32:32 | Stalwart | p512o: ghm, read docs on chip and code? |
| 21:32:47 | p512o | not yet.. you mean the infos by daniel? |
| 21:32:57 | | Quit Xerion (" ") |
| 21:33:02 | GuardianHead | is there any way to search the irc logs? |
| 21:33:23 | Stalwart | linuxstb: is there a howto about setting up toolchain on linux amd64? |
| 21:33:30 | p512o | Stalwart: afaik the micro sd is controlled by some custom sandisk chip |
| 21:33:38 | desowin | Stalwart: which distro ? |
| 21:33:59 | linuxstb | Stalwart: It's the same in any Unix-like environment - download the Rockbox source code and run the tools/rockboxdev.sh script. |
| 21:34:05 | Stalwart | desowin: arch64 |
| 21:34:05 | Rincewind | GuardianHead: go to rockbox.org/irc, open a day you want to search and hit strg-f |
| 21:34:11 | Stalwart | linuxstb: ok, i'll try |
| 21:34:34 | linuxstb | Stalwart: There are plenty of "for developers" docs in the wiki - go to the index and follow the links... |
| 21:35:03 | Stalwart | ok, i'll try |

| 21:35:25 | l2eM1x | ctrl-f |
| 21:35:26 | l2eM1x | i think |
| 21:35:29 | amiconn | That's why I also don''t like the context menu in the menu |
| 21:35:38 | Rincewind | sorry, i am on a german keyboard |
| 21:35:48 | DarkRedFlame | In FF Ctrl-F is what you use to open the Findmenu |
| 21:35:51 | Rincewind | it is ctrl-f of course |
| 21:35:53 | GuardianHead | heh well I meant search the whole IRC log, not a single day |
| 21:35:55 | | Join lee-qid [0] (n=liqid@p54966790.dip.t-dialin.net) |
| 21:35:58 | GuardianHead | or at least a range of days |
| 21:35:59 | amiconn | Sort of weird concept, what comes next? A context menu for the menu items of the context menu? ;\ |
| 21:36:17 | amiconn | context-context, and context-context-context ..... |
| 21:36:27 | linuxstb | I agree with the no-duplication principle |
| 21:36:27 | Llorean | amiconn: Well, people often complain of having a hard time finding things in the main menu. I can see a context menu improving that, though I don't think it's the best way to do so. |
| 21:36:32 | p512o | would i need jtag to develop an microsd driver? in order to examine the of. don't want to open my sansa. :) |
| 21:36:36 | Rincewind | GuardianHead: you could download a few days, put them in one big file and then search them |
| 21:37:01 | | Quit miepchen^schlaf (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) |
| 21:37:09 | Llorean | p512o: You could work on improving Toni's sansa emulator |
| 21:37:19 | * | Llorean thinks it's Toni's |
| 21:37:30 | amiconn | GuardianHead: What I do is having a local copy of all the irc log texts (downloaded via DTA in firefox) and then use grep on them |
| 21:37:54 | SliMM | can i have direct acces to.. let's say the ipod's dock conector port? |
| 21:38:05 | SliMM | from within plugins |
| 21:38:34 | p512o | Llorean: how's that? would it run the of? so i would have to emulate the microsd hardware in the sim? |
| 21:39:59 | Llorean | p512o: It doesn't run the OF fully yet, work needs to be done on that, but it gives you something safe to experiment with. |
| 21:41:05 | p512o | Llorean: okay.. that's good enough.. gonna have a look at this! There hasn't been any afford on developing an microsd driver yet, right? |

| 21:41:29 | linuxstb | amiconn: I don't think of the main menu in the same way as other menus - the options aren't other menus, but the major screens in Rockbox. Which is why I think a context menu to control how those screens work is logical. |
| 21:41:29 | | Part ctaf |
| 21:41:45 | SliMM | doesn't anyone know? |

| 21:44:53 | Llorean | SliMM: You'd probably have to add it to the api. |

| 21:45:07 | perl|work | awww |
| 21:45:15 | SliMM | llorean: i have no idea how to do that :)) |
| 21:46:48 | amiconn | SliMM: Depends on what you define as 'direct access to the dock connector' |
| 21:47:05 | dsheets | I don |
| 21:47:13 | amiconn | Rockbox doesn't have resource protection, so a plugin can access any hardware directly it desires to |
| 21:47:18 | dsheets | I don't suppose anyone has a spec sheet for the PP502x? |
| 21:48:19 | SliMM | amiconn: very good to know; if someone wants to tell me how i do tha , i would be grateful :P |
| 21:48:24 | amiconn | Whether this is desirable is another question; writing a driver and exposing the necessary functions via the api is the better way |
| 21:48:46 | amiconn | It still depends on what you mean... |
| 21:49:10 | amiconn | If you mean the serial port, then it's just that nobody knows how to do it on PP5020 and higher |
| 21:51:21 | dsheets | amiconn, but serial comms with apple's firmware is known for those platforms, yes? |
| 21:51:38 | pixelma | linuxstb: I don't really understand what you mean - with the new main menu all things that are "submenus" to this should be equal - so if all things would be the same, the file browser/database view would have to be in a context menu too? </semi-serious> |

| 21:55:23 | mar27 | I'm trying to install rockbox on a sansa e280 but when I run sansapatcher.exe it says no e200s found. is there anything I have to do to detedt it ? |
| 21:55:26 | linuxstb_ | pixelma: I'm not sure what you mean either... I guess what I'm trying to say is that I still think of it as a root menu, which branches into the different areas of Rockbox. But it seems I'm alone in thinking it's a root menu, or even wanting one.... |
| 21:55:59 | | Quit tech_to_be (Client Quit) |
| 21:56:23 | linuxstb_ | mar27: Is it in MSC mode? |
| 21:56:56 | mar27 | linuxstb: it is on msd mode now |
| 21:57:26 | mar27 | linuxstb: what is or how can i get it to msc mode ? |
| 21:58:34 | linuxstb_ | It's the mode that isn't MTP - i.e. your Sansa should appear as a proper drive (e.g. E:\) in Windows. |
| 21:58:53 | linuxstb_ | But I don't own a Sansa, so can't tell you exactly what to do. |
| 21:59:06 | Bagder | it's a setting somewhere in the menu |
| 21:59:37 | mar27 | hum let me check |
| 21:59:42 | Bagder | even the sandisk update tool requires msc mode |
| 22:00 |
| 22:00:17 | dsheets | does anyone have an old iPod's internal rom? |
| 22:00:36 | linuxstb_ | You mean a PP5002 version? |
| 22:00:55 | SliMM | amiconn: you told me earlyer today that all lcd drivers do proper cliping |
| 22:01:20 | SliMM | amiconn: i do it because there is no need to draw pixels outside the screen |
| 22:01:57 | dsheets | linuxstb, no. PP5020 but with a diagmode that has a remote control test function |
| 22:02:03 | desowin | petur: have you _ever_ got segfault of QTScrobbler ? |
| 22:02:28 | dsheets | linuxstb, like from a 4g |
| 22:03:14 | petur | desowin: no |
| 22:04:05 | desowin | crazy thing, I got backtrace from one guy, I have no single idea how he did this, and he tells that it happens everytime :/ |
| 22:04:45 | johnnyoc3 | i have a 4g if you need some file |
| 22:05:31 | dsheets | johnnyoc3, could you run rockbox, enter the diag menu, dump the internal rom and send me the file? |
| 22:05:49 | DarkRedFlame | I cant find the pacman roms, I searched everywhere on MAME, but failed |
| 22:05:58 | johnnyoc3 | im using an old build with the previous menu structure is that ok? |
| 22:06:30 | dsheets | johnnyoc3, sure... so long as you can dump the rom |
| 22:06:40 | johnnyoc3 | checking |
| 22:06:58 | bluebrother | dsheets: you're working on the serial port of the ipods? |
| 22:07:01 | linuxstb_ | DarkRedFlame: This channel isn't for discussing where to get game ROMS. |
| 22:07:19 | pixelma | hmm.. linuxstb are you saying that for example the filebrowser should have a context menu where you could choose the fileview options or database view with a context menu to initialise etc.? Well then I understood the context menu thing wrong... but then these options can be taken out of the general settings/wherever so that they aren't doubled - is that the plan? |
| 22:07:24 | dsheets | bluebrother, yes |
| 22:07:42 | johnnyoc3 | damn my HD is acting up...i just fixed it too! |

| 22:08:00 | | Part kaaloo |
| 22:08:15 | bluebrother | I'm just lacking the time atm, but hopefully in a month or so I might find it |
| 22:08:20 | dsheets | bluebrother, right now I can't even control the iPod using apple's firmware and a breakout board i built |
| 22:08:37 | linuxstb_ | pixelma: Yes, that's the type of context menu we're talking about - jdgordon posted a patch earlier which implements them. I'm not 100% convinced by them though - the duplication of the settings there and in the Settings menu isn't nice. |
| 22:08:44 | bluebrother | using the serial cable? IPL has information about this |
| 22:08:49 | dsheets | bluebrother, that's probably some small bug somewhere... I'm going to go find an oscilloscope and watch the lines later tonight maybe |
| 22:08:57 | dsheets | bluebrother, yeah... i've been all over IPL |
| 22:09:13 | bluebrother | ok, then I don't need to mention it anymore ;-) |
| 22:09:19 | mar27 | linuxstb: thanks I was able to install it, is there a way I can have dual boot ? |
| 22:09:34 | linuxstb_ | mar27: You've got it... |
| 22:09:35 | dsheets | bluebrother, ultimately the idea will be to use the iPod as a platform for a wireless personal area sensor net |
| 22:09:55 | bluebrother | wireless? How that? |
| 22:10:06 | bluebrother | bluetooth module on the ipod or similar? |
| 22:10:13 | dsheets | bluebrother, zigbee. It's a low power wireless mesh tech |
| 22:10:24 | bluebrother | oh, zigbee :o |
| 22:10:30 | dsheets | bluebrother, basically one step up from rfid |
| 22:10:39 | bluebrother | dsheets, I know zigbee. |
| 22:10:50 | dsheets | bluebrother, current goal is a heart monitor storing a week or more of data at a go |
| 22:10:53 | dsheets | bluebrother, oh, really? |
| 22:11:05 | bluebrother | not into the details, but I know the basic concept −− need to integrate some zigbee module at uni |
| 22:11:10 | pixelma | linuxstb: that sounds sensible to me if there's no duplication... As for the "root menu" - I didn't understand the difference to what we have or what you had in mind. Someone should make a drawing |
| 22:11:30 | bluebrother | the only problem is that I don't have time left to do it in a nice way (and understand the technique itself) |
| 22:11:35 | dsheets | bluebrother, ah, yes. I think I'm going to use TagSense's ZT-10 |
| 22:12:00 | bluebrother | I have a RC2300 −− quite huge beast for my application |
| 22:12:04 | johnnyoc3 | dsheets my ipods being screwy. try and find someone else for now. im gunna fix it and it could take a while |
| 22:12:06 | dsheets | bluebrother, I hear you... I have about a million other projects |
| 22:12:12 | dsheets | johnnyoc3, no problem |
| 22:12:37 | bluebrother | dsheets, it's part of my diploma thesis −− and I'm running out of time :( |
| 22:12:56 | dsheets | bluebrother, oh crap... I don't have pressure like that :-P Still an undergrad. |
| 22:12:58 | bluebrother | that's the major problem. But they want me to compare zigbee to bluetooth for our application |
| 22:13:00 | amiconn | linuxstb: I'd rather keep the settings centralised instead of having dozens of context menus |
| 22:13:16 | dsheets | bluebrother, interesting |
| 22:13:17 | bluebrother | some of this guys at uni are quite ... strange. |
| 22:13:21 | amiconn | Remember how almost nobody knows that the playlist viewer has its own settings? |
| 22:13:50 | dsheets | bluebrother, ? |
| 22:13:56 | bluebrother | I had quite some problems with this accelleration sensor we want to use. |
| 22:13:58 | linuxstb_ | amiconn: Yes, I agree with keeping a centralised settings menu... Which is why I'm not 100% convinced myself. |
| 22:13:59 | pixelma | hmm... yes that's also true. And it'll be a nightmare to document |
| 22:14:07 | petur | and the whole main menu is accessible through the mode button already |
| 22:14:27 | bluebrother | it's always the same: they don't know exactly what you are supposed to do, and when doing actual stuff nobody is there who knows it ... |
| 22:14:58 | bluebrother | a while ago I had a problem about a small windows application I wrote in that context. Asked for someone who knows windows programming: none :( |
| 22:15:09 | l2eM1x | i know windows programming |
| 22:15:10 | l2eM1x | lo |
| 22:15:17 | bluebrother | consumes quite some time if you need to solve everything yourself |
| 22:15:25 | bluebrother | but I'm getting kinda off topic ;-) |
| 22:15:39 | dsheets | bluebrother, that doesn't sound fun... move to someplace with more technical people :-P |
| 22:15:41 | l2eM1x | what language do you program in |
| 22:15:54 | DarkRedFlame | Yeah, no luck finding the Pacman rom for Pacbox, oh well |

| 22:17:28 | l2eM1x | thats very true |

| 22:17:38 | l2eM1x | thats why :o) |

| 22:18:01 | l2eM1x | the language was supposed to be easier i dont know |
| 22:18:05 | l2eM1x | its supposed to manage memory well |
| 22:18:08 | DarkRedFlame | Go ahead Perl, everything seems in order |
| 22:18:08 | bluebrother | but it wasn't my decision to use java. |
| 22:18:09 | l2eM1x | but it sure as hell doesnt all the time |

| 22:23:31 | bluebrother | H10_007quick, ran some plugin? |
| 22:23:44 | H10_007quick | Just wondering if I should try a test on the official build |
| 22:23:50 | H10_007quick | Nope it died at 50% |
| 22:24:02 | bluebrother | yes, you should definitely :) |

| 23:29:23 | SliMM | bluebrother: yes, that's it |
| 23:29:27 | bluebrother | but asking here might be more "up-to-date" ;-) |
| 23:29:32 | linuxstb_ | Orphis: Because it was never finished and the developer disappeared. |
| 23:29:39 | | Part l2eM1x |
| 23:30:03 | SliMM | i have finally finished my semi-transparency functions |
| 23:30:04 | Bagder | and the gmini architecture is a nightmare |
| 23:30:20 | bluebrother | wasn't that the calm risc thing? |
| 23:30:23 | Bagder | yes |
| 23:30:26 | SliMM | i'll read how to patch and post a patch to the tracker |
| 23:30:50 | bluebrother | semi-transparency? I don't even have color on my targets ... |
| 23:30:55 | midkay | SliMM: that sounds really cool, how does it work and what's it capable of? |
| 23:30:58 | petur | bah... forgot some words in my commit description :/ |
| 23:31:22 | bluebrother | petur, words in commit messages are overrated anyway ;-) |
| 23:31:30 | petur | lol |
| 23:31:41 | SliMM | midkay: i think it's pretty slow |
| 23:32:03 | SliMM | just basic functions (rectangle, pixel and bitmap) |
| 23:32:08 | Orphis | Well Gmini seems not to be easy but I'm sure work an be done on it |
| 23:32:18 | barrywardell | ]RowaN[: it's rockbox.mi4. It will be included in the next build of rockbox.zip on the SVN builds page |
| 23:32:27 | bluebrother | quite a lot of commits going on today |
| 23:32:27 | Bagder | Orphis: lots of work was made for it |
| 23:32:29 | | Part perl|work |
| 23:32:31 | midkay | still possibly useful in plugins and stuff. how did you implement it? as a plugin lib would be best since i think we'd not use it in the core.. |
| 23:32:36 | SliMM | forgot about bitmap part :"> |
| 23:32:39 | linuxstb_ | Orphis: Are we talking about the same gmini? |
| 23:32:43 | Bagder | the whole table is april 12! |
| 23:32:50 | bluebrother | wee! |
| 23:32:51 | SliMM | plugin lib |
| 23:32:57 | p512o | aahh.. rockboxsim is working and ddd with sources too.. is it hard to import rockbox sim into eclipse for easier development/debugging? |
| 23:33:14 | Orphis | I have a Gmini XS 202, not exactly the same as in the port but I guess they are similar |
| 23:33:17 | bluebrother | p512o, I don't think so. |
| 23:33:31 | bluebrother | if you use gdb as backend from eclipse |
| 23:33:31 | Stalwart | why i have recording menu item if my nano doesn't support recording? |
| 23:33:38 | Stalwart | or i'm missing something? |
| 23:33:41 | SliMM | well, no patch, i'll just post the files. |
| 23:34:01 | linuxstb_ | Orphis: Do you have an interest in resurrecting the port? |
| 23:34:20 | Orphis | I have tons of OGG files ! |
| 23:34:26 | p512o | bluebrother: thanks.. i'm not very experienced as you can see.. :) gonna give it a try.. but my back hurts recently.. maybe i better find a more comfortable place |
| 23:34:27 | Orphis | Hell yes I'm interested |
| 23:35:04 | bluebrother | I have eclipse running with a cross-gdb on windows at uni. Haven't tried it on linux yet. |
| 23:35:10 | * | petur wonders what's up with those 'ld' errors from the 21:07 commit |
| 23:35:16 | bluebrother | running plain gdb is quite nice :) |
| 23:35:21 | Bagder | petur: changed output name |
| 23:35:22 | Orphis | And well, I can't take the device back to the shop, it's a gift |
| 23:35:28 | petur | ah |
| 23:35:45 | Bagder | so the script considers them link errors |
| 23:35:51 | Bagder | I've fix that |
| 23:36:03 | petur | test coming up ;) |
| 23:36:05 | Bagder | for the next commit |

| 23:39:59 | SliMM | ready, fixed all errors |
| 23:40:25 | | Join bawb2 [0] (n=bawb2@ip48200.estcmp.ku.edu) |

| 23:42:17 | p512o | bluebrother: Llorean pointed me to this NAND text.. and as far as i've read and understood he's speculating that these command would be used to access microsd too.. by selecting some special bak or whatever |
| 23:42:57 | bluebrother | maybe we could access the microsd in SPI mode too |
| 23:42:59 | p512o | bluebrother: that was saratoga, not Llorean.. sorry |
| 23:43:11 | bluebrother | which is much easier |
| 23:43:30 | Bagder | microsd is often done over spi |
| 23:43:35 | p512o | okay.. easier sounds good.. whats spi?! ;) |
| 23:43:44 | | Quit ompaul ("cheerful quip here") |
| 23:43:53 | Bagder | spi is a serial "bus" over 4 wires |
| 23:44:19 | * | bluebrother did that recently |
| 23:44:22 | * | SliMM is registering in Flyspray |
| 23:44:22 | bluebrother | serial peripherial interface. |
| 23:44:25 | p512o | I ain't got any clue.. came in here to ask if there's already done any work on this matter yet and if there's a way i could help.. even tohough i'm quite "dumb" in this regard |
| 23:44:39 | * | Bagder writes a SPI-driver in uclinux/Nios II currently |
| 23:45:10 | p512o | so, would this also maybe lead to support for sansa microsd slots? |
| 23:45:19 | amiconn | The Ondio does MMC over SPI |
| 23:46:12 | bluebrother | SPI for SD cards is in fact a compatibility mode to MMC |
| 23:46:27 | bluebrother | with some small changes (like ACMD41) |
| 23:47:34 | mar27 | can I play videos on a sansa e200 ? |
| 23:47:51 | Llorean | mar27: Yes, I do believe it mentions this in the manual. |
| 23:48:04 | p512o | theres mpegplayer plugin.. don't know how usable |
| 23:48:11 | linuxstb_ | mar27: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginMpegplayer |
| 23:48:23 | Llorean | mar27: My mistake, it's only in the wiki, I thnk |
| 23:48:42 | bluebrother | the manual needs quite a few updates ... |
| 23:48:53 | bluebrother | hopefully I can work on it again in a month or so |
| 23:49:18 | Llorean | I think mpegplayer is mostly at the point where it can be in the manual. |
| 23:49:26 | Llorean | It works at least as well as the gameboy emulator, in my opinion. |
| 23:49:36 | amiconn | SPI mode (for SD and MMC) is more like a compatibility mode for simple controlling hardware |
| 23:49:50 | pixelma | speaking of the PluginXyz wiki pages - would it be usefull to also have an M5 category? |
| 23:50:35 | amiconn | Both MMC and SD operate on a bus by default, which features 1bit, 4bit and 8bit transfers (4bit and 8bit support for MMC came later) |
| 23:50:43 | | Quit barrywardell (Remote closed the connection) |
| 23:51:15 | bluebrother | SD mode is always 4 bit |
| 23:51:20 | pixelma | and if I was to edit the subpages and add a new column to PluginIndex, will the Index page get automatically updated or is there some more behind it? |
| 23:51:39 | amiconn | But MMC and SD are more similar in SPI mode than in their native modes; they're so similar that the Ondio rockbox MMC driver works with SD cards (thin SD only because of the slot size) |
| 23:51:42 | * | SliMM is adding the new task |
| 23:52:16 | linuxstb_ | pixelma: Adding the new column _is_ the magic. |
| 23:52:17 | bluebrother | does the RB MMC driver use CMD1 or ACMD41 for initialization? Or does it handle both? |
| 23:52:26 | SliMM | http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7022 |
| 23:52:59 | amiconn | bluebrother: Afaiu both are identical (at least in MMC mode), just SD numbers the commands differently |
| 23:53:01 | Llorean | linuxstb: Just checked (finally) yeah, the video file sounds right again over here. |
| 23:53:13 | bluebrother | amiconn, in SD mode they are different. |
| 23:53:21 | pixelma | linuxstb: thanks :) would that be appreciated? |
| 23:53:24 | amiconn | Bah, I mean is SPI mode |
| 23:53:29 | amiconn | s/is/in/ |
| 23:53:33 | * | amiconn can't type |
| 23:53:40 | bluebrother | and I mean SPI mode on SD cards ;-) |
| 23:54:10 | bluebrother | SD cards distinguish between those, and some cards require one, other the other. |
| 23:54:18 | bluebrother | which can be somewhat annoying |
| 23:54:30 | amiconn | MMC CMD1 is actually command byte == 0x41 |
| 23:55:00 | bluebrother | for SD cards, bit 7 is always 0 and bit 6 always 1 -> 0x30 |
| 23:55:04 | amiconn | ...and in SPI mode it has no parameters |
| 23:55:06 | bluebrother | s/0x30/0x40/ |
| 23:55:06 | | Quit XavierGr (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
| 23:55:21 | | Join matsl [0] (n=matsl@1-1-4-2a.mal.sth.bostream.se) |
| 23:55:46 | bluebrother | for commands that is. |
| 23:55:49 | amiconn | Yes, so ACMD41 _is_ CMD1 in MMC terms |
| 23:55:57 | Bagder | SliMM: you 'svn add' each new file then you 'svn diff >patch'. done |
| 23:56:27 | bluebrother | in SD terms, ACMD41 is CMD55 followed by CMD1 |
| 23:56:31 | SliMM | oh |
| 23:56:53 | p512o | thanks for the discussion! really appreciate it.. eventhough I don'T understand nearly anything.. :) |
| 23:56:56 | amiconn | In SPI mode too? |
| 23:57:12 | bluebrother | SliMM, you can also diff -u /dev/null new_file.c >> patchfile |
| 23:57:17 | bluebrother | amiconn, yes. |
| 23:57:36 | amiconn | I only know that several people used thin SD cards in their Ondios successfully; I don't have such a card myself |
| 23:57:38 | bluebrother | http://elm-chan.org/docs/mmc/mmc_e.html |
| 23:57:45 | saratoga | p512o: I believe the wikipedia page on SD links a spec sheet explaining how it works. might be a good place to start |
| 23:57:52 | p512o | think i'll better go off the keys for a while.. gotta give my back some rest.. hurts quite badly, since i reached my ringing phone in haste nearly an hour ago.. |
| 23:57:56 | saratoga | haven't looked at it myself |
| 23:58:14 | p512o | saratoga: thx! cu all later! |
| 23:58:22 | | Quit davina ("byeeeeee!") |
| 23:58:38 | bluebrother | SD cards vary −− I wrote a driver for a microsd card and used a standard (cheap) SD card for early developing. That SD card required a different initialization sequence than the final microsd :( |
| 23:58:40 | amiconn | bluebrother: Oh ok. No, ata_mmc.c doesn't use any application specific commands |
