#rockbox log for 2007-05-23

00:00:09LloreanWhat ever happened with the people who had the bootloader freezing if USB was plugged in?
00:00:41 Part krush1704
00:01:04linuxstbI've never seen a report of that.
00:01:35amiconnlinuxstb: Ah, the bootloader not unhiding the messages when something failed was a bug...
00:01:57*linuxstb looks away
00:01:59*amiconn got that when experimenting on the 80; flipping hold then unhid the messages
00:02:12LloreanI seem to recall some users having difficulty getting past the bootloader if USB was inserted, but I could be confused.
00:02:16LloreanI've never experienced it.
00:02:38linuxstbI've had problems with Rockbox itself freezing when USB is plugged in immediately. Maybe it's the same.
00:02:49 Quit z35 (Remote closed the connection)
00:02:55LloreanPossibly
00:03:02LloreanBut those are the only issues I know of regarding the bootloader

00:07:45sgarritylinuxstb: Your build worked for me. Thank you.
00:07:45linuxstbn1s: That sounds like Rockbox itself crashing before updating the LCD - I can't think why/how the bootloader could crash, as it doesn't do anything with USB.

00:12:17amiconnNow there is a nasty problem with a write-back sector cache
00:12:21linuxstbUse ipodpatcher - run "ipodpatcher - bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod"
00:12:31linuxstbI meant "ipodpatcher -a bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod"

00:13:47amiconnBut what if flushing the last dirty sector after a timeout fails?

01:02:10LloreanSee the manual.
01:02:22webguest16THANKS!!
01:02:26LloreanSeriously, you need to read the manual before you install, so that you can be sure to do it right
01:02:32webguest16is there any chance of bricking
01:03:02webguest16and what version do i need?
01:03:05LloreanI believe that if you don't follow the directions correctly, you can leave your device in a state that's hard to recover from, but not bricked.
01:03:14LloreanWhat version of what?
01:03:30webguest16firmware
01:03:32markunwebguest16: just download the lastest version
01:03:38markun'current build'
01:03:50webguest16i meen REAL firmware
01:04:06LloreanRockbox is "Real"
01:04:16webguest16like from iriver
01:04:23DerPapst^^
01:04:23LloreanIt is not imaginary.
01:04:24LloreanAs for the firmware on your player, Rockbox doesn't care about that.
01:04:36webguest16ok so i can do it on any firmware
01:04:36LloreanRockbox is not a patch or modification of that firmware, it's its own software entirely
01:04:57markunLlorean: wow, that manual is pretty confusing
01:05:15webguest16so i can do it on any iriver firmware that is made by iriver tho rite?
01:05:33markunLlorean: the part about the iriver bootloader which ends with "It is already installed on your player, so it is never necessary to modify this in order to install Rockbox"
01:05:55webguest16ok im just used to hacking psps
01:06:33webguest16were do i get the software?

01:07:20Spikey818Hi guys, I have a question regarding Rockbox working with Headunits that are Ipod ready
01:07:23 Part webguest16
01:07:48*DerPapst wonders what a headunit is
01:07:50Spikey818if I have a car head unit that is ipod read, will i still be able to control my ipod from the head unit's controls?
01:08:02Spikey818a head unit is like the stereo unit for your car
01:08:12Lloreanmarkun: Yes, perhaps the part about the flash bootloader could be clarified somewhat.
01:08:16Spikey818for example, I have a pioneer DEH-780
01:08:24LloreanSpikey818: No
01:08:32LloreanRockbox does not support the Apple Accessory Protocol, which that would require
01:08:36DerPapstSpikey818: i guess that talks to the iPods serial
01:08:45Spikey818yeah, i see
01:08:53DerPapstwhat Llorean says
01:08:57Spikey818and there are no plugins available that you could use to support it?
01:09:11LloreanNo.
01:09:19LloreanNobody who has one has done the work.
01:09:55Spikey818I would love to do the work but i know nothing about programming
01:10:15Spikey818i wouldn't know where to start
01:10:22 Quit mpeccorini ("User pushed the X - because it's Xtra, baby")
01:10:36DerPapsteven if you can program.. you have to reserve engenier the protocol first
01:10:43OverandLlorean: does the serial interface itself work?
01:11:05LloreanOverand: Not in Rockbox, though I believe there's some code for it for earlier iPods from iPL that can be used as a starting point for those models.

01:11:28DerPapsti know it works for some iPod at iPodLinux (3G only?)
01:11:39amiconnG3 and earlier afaik
01:11:43Spikey818what works for ipodLinux
01:11:47OverandI don't have any iPod accessories - i should get my step-brother and his digital oscilloscope to start looking at it
01:11:47Spikey818I got a G3 ipod
01:12:06 Join zivan56 [0] (n=not@64.46.2.61.novuscom.net)
01:12:10Overandwell if there's code that supports it, it should be portable to rockbox, if it's not too spaghetti'd in
01:12:13Spikey818so if I have a 3G ipod, I can use Rockbox with my Interface?
01:12:18DerPapstamiconn: right
01:12:45DerPapstSpikey818: that feature isn't included in rockbox.
01:12:47OverandSpikey818: you won't be able to use the interface with rockbox as rockbox stands
01:13:12Overandpersonally, if i were you, i'd go the rockbox route vs. the iPL route - head unit controls are nice, but I use rockbox on my iPod in the car all the time
01:13:29Overandof course my head unit has a line in - i don't know if you'd be able to use the *audio* part of that interface
01:13:37DerPapstSpikey818: and you still have to reserve engineer it though
01:16:51DerPapstgood night everyone.

01:17:41amiconnhrrrrrrm
01:17:51Spikey818That's alright I guess...I have 2 ipods anyways
01:18:04Spikey818There is a firmware for the 3G Ipod right?
01:18:24Spikey818I got the $40gb that costed $500 when it was released
01:18:48OverandI know there's firmware for the 3G, I don't know how well it works
01:18:53Overandthe regulars here would know better than me
01:19:00OverandI've got a 5G (60 gig video) and it works *very* well.
01:19:15OverandI don't use it in 'ipod' mode except for a few DRMd videos I paid for on iTunes, and for faster file transfers
01:19:26n1sSpikey818: rockbox for the 3G is in a pretty undeveloped state and cannot play regular mp3s realtime yet
01:19:45n1sflac and maybe wv lossless should work though
01:20:17***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:20:57LloreanI thought it could play some MP3s realtime, depending on bitrate
01:21:08 Quit bluebrother ("leaving")
01:21:23zivan56new sansa tuner patch is up, this should greatly improve sound quality and properly center on the stations (or very close to it)...
01:22:01n1sLlorean: maybe the lower bitrates play, also tomal posted some patch that could help speed it up if it gets comitted...
01:22:20Lloreann1s: Some work still needs to be done on that to keep it from breaking mpegplayer, I believe
01:23:26n1sah, yeah, I didn't look into the details (as I don't have a target that it will affect and about 20 mp3s totally) :-)
01:23:55LloreanI really need to try the iFP port at some point, and see just how little it runs.
01:24:05*Llorean would like to test_codec on it, just to see

01:26:40a1titudeA quick question about the 80GB ipod patch, My prefered codec choice is vorbis, but I was wondering if rockbox with the patch is useable for general use before its realeased into the svn, or should I wait for it to be final before useing rockbox?
01:26:54austriancoderjhMikeS: I already got it my self :) audiohw_caps.h
01:28:34jhMikeSthat can work but what about two targets using the same audio hw but different crystals? they won't nescessarily have the same samplerates available.

01:30:04n1sa1titude: the patch has some bugs and amiconn is working on it, use it if you wish but it _could_ potentially wreck your filesystem...
01:30:22Spikey818thanks n1s
01:30:32Spikey818sorry, i'm at work right now, that's why my attention was away

01:31:28 Part n1s

01:36:42a1titudeoh yeah, btw: why is there a recording option in the rockbox menu in the 80GB ipod?
01:37:35Lloreanlinuxstb: Yeah, 154% realtime is about what some of my MP3s tested on my Nano, if I recall

01:43:52DerPapstseems like i missed that feature :D

01:44:09DerPapst*dock
01:44:28austriancodermarkun: i will check this before commiting... and next part takes some time to code
01:45:24LloreanDerPapst: Well, I think generally it's just done by custom adapter for the dock port
01:45:24LloreanI actually don't think the "real" dock has a line in
01:45:59DerPapstyep.. looking at the pinout on the iPL wiki
01:47:17linuxstbDerPapst: The ipod recording code still needs more work though - not all features are implemented (e.g. gain control) and playback doesn't work after recording. So if you're looking for something to do....
01:47:20jhMikeSzivan56: enabling/disabling those line will be done through the input muxing anyway so if radio is off, the lines will be muted as it should
01:49:14jhMikeSat least as soon as recording get put in anyway
01:49:14DerPapstlinuxstb: you're overestimating my coding skills a tiny bit ;)

01:52:58zivan56overall, this radio is annoying, the only reason it was chosen was probably due to its size, since half of it is software based
01:53:36zivan56and it only has 2-3 readable registers, and 20 or so write only ones

02:23:59*jhMikeS hopes to surpass that in short (in pp time) order :)
02:24:09jurrie_Llorean: any idea what the leading cause of "screen meltdown" is on the Sansa? Happens quite a bit while playing plugin games... is it the plugins, the utility APIs, the core "os", or the device drivers? Just seeing where I can start to pitch in.
02:24:37LloreanI've never experienced it myself, but I only use the Sansa for music.
02:24:47LloreanRight now, I keep trying to convince myself to fix the button layout.
02:24:59saratogaLlorean: thats good to know
02:25:04jhMikeSprobably a line not set correectly when a data write occurs
02:25:11LloreanNow that someone else has done the Gigabeat for me, I should actually pitch in and bring the Sansa into line.
02:25:18saratogado we have a battery runtime page setup for the sansa?
02:25:29LloreanThe fact that there's a separate button for the context menu, and that the Power button brings up the main menu drives me nuts.
02:25:47Lloreansaratoga: I don't think so.
02:25:57saratogahmm
02:26:02jhMikeSmakes sense to have the menu key bring up menus, yes
02:26:04saratogaanyone know what the runtime is like then?
02:27:14LloreanjhMikeS: Basically, I want to make the power button "Stop", the bottom button "Menu" on short, and the center button do the Context Menu on long. Much more similar to other players.
02:27:30LloreanThe current button layout feels kinda like a "Well, we've got all these buttons, let's start assigning things..."
02:28:55jhMikeSThe OF sort of does it as is done now though
02:29:26LloreanYeah, but that's not a good reason to do it that way
02:29:26LloreanContext menu is long-select on almost every device, for example
02:29:44LloreanThe goal is to sort of make Rockbox feel like Rockbox no matter which player you have in-hand
02:29:53jurrie_having the down button == "Menu" is fine, if the scroll wheel is enabled everywhere
02:30:01jhMikeStrue...I get used to the different layouts too quickly :P
02:30:08 Quit Nico_P (Remote closed the connection)
02:30:15jurrie_I find it confusing as in some contexts down == down and in other down == menu
02:30:22Lloreanjurrie_: In situations like Jewels it may not be.
02:30:31jurrie_true
02:30:36LloreanBut within the context of non-plugins, the wheel should always be Up/Down

02:31:27*jhMikeS enabled it for spacerocks
02:31:42jurrieyup.... works well there
02:31:55jhMikeSthen gigabeat should change too imo
02:32:25webguest36hi i'm trying to install rockbox on a 4g ipod and whenever i try to unzip the build file a message comes up that says cannot create folder G:/
02:32:26saratogaabout the screen corruption bug on teh 1.1 sansas, since I'm guess i'll get a 1.1, is it bad enough that it would hinder testing on the Sansa?
02:34:24*jhMikeS isn't clear about what any other corruption is besides meltdown...some line on the screen or something?
02:34:40zivan56IIRC it just affects the first couple of lines on the LCD
02:35:27saratogathen that shouldn't be a problem for me
02:35:28zivan56http://www.dalcomp.net/sansa/IMG_9337c.JPG
02:36:23jurriejhMikeS: when I say "meltdown", I'm talking about the whole screen fading to white
02:37:06jhMikeSyes, I get that one but the line thing...I feel like I know, but have no way to probe it :\
02:37:06austriancoderjhMikeS: jep the whole screen
02:37:08jurrielooks like an invalid pointer dereference
02:37:59jurrieno idea if that is "standard operating procedure" when rockbox detects a crash, or if a null pointer dereference causes Sansa's screen controller to go whacko
02:37:59jhMikeSI think it tranfers the image bottom to top...it could also be a buffer alignment problem
02:38:10TrueJournalswebguest36: Is your iPod located at G: ?
02:38:19webguest36yes
02:38:23zivan56interestingly enough, when you play video, the corrupt pixels are on the side: http://www.dalcomp.net/sansa/IMG_9339.JPG
02:38:39TrueJournalswebguest36: What are you using to unzip?
02:38:45jhMikeSI know what the actual driver chip is well enough and has documentation
02:38:48webguest36winRAR
02:39:28TrueJournalsHmmm... I don't know then... are you dragging and dropping or what?
02:40:28webguest36i just click extract to, choose the file path and then click ok, then after several seconds the error message comes up
02:40:40jhMikeSummm...to me the player just looks upside down
02:41:06TrueJournalswebguest36: That's very weird... try browsing to G: and make sure you can see files
02:41:10jurriemy "meltdowns" are similar to what happens to the screen when RockBox's bootloader loads the OF
02:41:25webguest36actually when i open it nothing comes up
02:41:44TrueJournalswebguest36: That's the problem... reconnect your iPod and it should work fine
02:41:48jhMikeSyes, mine too...I think it loses the write data mode somehow for a second
02:41:53webguest36ok
02:41:56webguest36thanks
02:42:38jhMikeSThe framebuffer might need a larger alignment to work correctly...that's a guess I can't check. Mine only requires 4-byte alignment to work.
02:42:41jurriejhMikeS: so you're saying that it's just an LCD controller interface issue, and that the RockBox software continues to function normally?
02:42:53jhMikeSit does, yes
02:43:01jurrieahhhh
02:43:14jurrieyou'd think others would experience this as well

02:46:50digerati1338If I'm getting a SVN failed to add file error is it most likely because of a patch?
02:51:39jhMikeSzivan56: you could try changing the align attribute on lcd_driver_framebuffer from 16 to successive multiples of 352 and see if that cures it. it's the first thing I'd try myself.
02:52:07zivan56jhMikeS: I don't have a v1.1 player
02:52:16zivan56I just found those picture on the rockbox forum
02:52:40zivan56I believe one dev does though...
02:53:01jhMikeSoh...I just assumed. Perhaps I'll post there then.
02:54:13zivan56so any comments about the sansa radio patch? It's getting annoying syncing it to SVN since it encompasses a bunch of files, I am pretty much stuck at this current method of tuning
02:54:57zivan56I don't know of that way that was mention before to set the audio source, I am guessing someone already worked it out
02:56:22jhMikeSzivan56: I plan on trying it out soon...I was just obsessed with figuring out the I2S issue :)
02:56:34jurriewild.... playing bubbles on the Sansa as we speak... screen image just jumped down 1/3 of the way for about 1.5 seconds, then jumped back to normal

02:58:37digerati1338is a "svn: failed to add file" error because of a patch, and if so how do I know which patch is causing it
02:59:10SoapI've never seen that error, what command had you issued to get that error?
02:59:16Soapsvn up?
02:59:16*jhMikeS has to figure out exactly what those clock divider numbers mean to be able to have as many standard samplerate for recording as possible
02:59:17digerati1338svn update
02:59:18jurrieOK, so what can I do to help remedy that stuff?.... don't have a build environment set up (yet)...
02:59:34Soapand you have enough free space?
02:59:41digerati1338yes
02:59:50Soapno wacky file permissions on one of the directories?

03:00:06jurriejhMikeS: I don't mind looking at code to find whacky stuff (been doing that for 20 some odd years)
03:00:07digerati1338more specifically, it says, "object of same name already exists"
03:00:43digerati1338so I'm guessing a patch I applied created the file and then the file was committed
03:00:48*Soap always reverts before updating...
03:00:48 Part Llorean
03:01:10digerati1338how do you revert? just run patchname -R"?
03:01:40jurriejhMikeS: from the sounds of it, you're guessing it's a frame buffer alignment issue.... particular doc/spec to check? Particular driver/API-set to cross reference?
03:01:43Soap"svn revert -R ." from your rockbox directory, IIRC
03:01:50jhMikeSjurrie: by all means ... I've got to figure out why GPIO interrupts refuse to enable which seems not obviously at all atm
03:01:52digerati1338soap: ty
03:02:09Soaprevert -R = recursively. .=starting here
03:02:47jhMikeSjurrie: nope, it's gonna be due to the pp5024 DMA controller requirements if it's that. The lcd driver chip won't care as it's port based.
03:02:55jurriejhMikeS: is the Sansa behaving so much different in this regard than other Portal-based players?

06:17:41ManaSamawen i play a song
06:17:50ManaSamathe theme i downloaded and installed doesnt switch over to the playing screen
06:18:00ManaSamait stayed with the backdrop the entire time
06:18:04ManaSamastays
06:18:34aliaskSo the playing screen's backdrop doesn't change?
06:19:07ManaSamayes
06:19:14aliaskThat's expected.
06:19:17ManaSamait stayed with the backdrop and doesnt go to the playing screen
06:19:35aliaskWhat stayed with the backdrop? That sentence doesn't make sense.
06:19:59ManaSamathe backround picture doesnt change to the now playing screen

06:21:24aliaskIf you just load the WPS, will the backdrop change, or do you have to load the whole theme?
06:21:46ManaSamai go to settings>brows themes

06:22:05ManaSamabut wen i play a song it doesnt change to the now playing screen

06:25:46aliaskWell, it looks like the theme sets the backdrop, not the WPS. If you want to have one backdrop for the WPS and another for the main browser, you should edit the WPS so that it changes the background
06:25:50ManaSamabut wen i play a song it does NOT go to the "now playing" new backround
06:26:00ManaSamacuz wen u play a song it shows a different backround
06:27:26ManaSama?? do u knwo what is wrong?
06:27:33aliaskI just told you what was wrong...
06:27:51ManaSamau did?

06:32:45aliaskNot necessarily
06:32:54ManaSamaso just this one?
06:33:06aliaskI don't even know if this will fix the problem, it's just a potential fix.

06:48:18ManaSamai tried 3 different themes
06:48:18aliaskBut yes, that one too requires a custom build, which I can't test
06:48:28ManaSamawere do i get different builds?

08:05:22kkurbjunhas anyone here worked with flash devices that are configurable to either write in bytes or words
08:06:09kkurbjunspecifically working with D15 and A0 sharing the same pin in byte mode
08:07:16LinusNhmmm, i can't remember i have...
08:08:20kkurbjunLinusN, I was looking for some pointers on writing code to move the lowest address bit out to D15
08:08:39kkurbjunI'm not too good with bitwise operations on pointers
08:09:02kkurbjunor addressing like it's 8 bits wide and actually putting 16 bits of data on the bus
08:09:02LinusNyou need to cast the pointer to a suitable integer
08:09:49kkurbjunby the way, is that a typical setup for flash memories in byte mode?
08:09:59LinusNi must say i'm a little confused now
08:10:23kkurbjunthis is the DS I'm looking at: http://www.spansion.com/datasheets/e520911.pdf
08:10:37kkurbjunlet me find the page
08:11:26kkurbjunpage 22
08:11:42kkurbjunthey talk about byte/word configuration
08:12:27kkurbjunI don't know the pin in the gigabeat to actually toggle the byte pin so I'm stuck in byte mode even though the data and address lines are properly setup for word mode
08:13:23kkurbjunso D0 through D15 are all hooked up to the data lines and A0- A18 are connected to the address lines
08:13:46LinusNwell, that only tells you that the A-1 pin is used for the lowest address bit
08:15:00amiconnmo0ning
08:15:27kkurbjunyes, but A-1 is also shared with D15 so I can't just do a normal write to the CPU bus and expect that it will work properly.. unless I'm doing something else wrong, I have all the bytes duplicated in flash
08:15:28amiconnLinusN: Did you read about my speed test results on the 5.5/80 ?
08:15:31LinusNkkurbjun: hang in asec
08:15:53kkurbjunLinusn, ok, thanks
08:16:44amiconnThe patch is obviously working fine on all G5s and G5.5s, but sequential writing from a 512 byte buffer on the 80 is *dead* slow compared to all other targets
08:18:11kkurbjunas an added note I'm pretty much following the same style of code as the firmware_flash plugin, and just modifying the command sequences right now
08:18:31amiconnReading doesn't have that problem. I have a suspicion why that happens - the disk simply doesn't expect the same sector accessed twice. So it throws the sector out of its internal cache after the first access, and hence needs to hit the disk everytime
08:19:46amiconnWrite speed from a 512 byte buffer is 2..3MB/s on other G5s, but 23KB/s (!) on the 80

08:27:54kkurbjunryan, I think Nico_P would be able to answer your question
08:29:06ryranI'm just feeling kind of dumb because it's obviously not loading my wps, but I'm not getting anything and I don't know what to look for.
08:30:45amiconnkkurbjun: I wonder how the flash access can work at all if the bus configuration and device configuration mismatch
08:30:57amiconnNot only for programming, but also for reading...
08:31:06kkurbjunI gotcha, I don't work with the WPS stuff at all so I can't really offer anything though
08:32:44kkurbjunamiconn, reading seems to work fine.. writing is giving me those duplicated bytes.. It seemed to fit with the description of the byte/word mode to a point.. this may not be the problem though. I see the bytes duplicated in flash even if I only execute a single write to the flash
08:33:46kkurbjunthat code is identical to ProgramByte in firmware_flash too (except for the commands)
08:34:21kkurbjunand if I execute the commands to do word writes the flash doesn't try and write
08:34:33kkurbjunit only accepts the byte commands
08:35:55kkurbjunand addressing reacts like byte mode as well
08:36:00kkurbjunit is strange though
08:37:47kkurbjunI'm a bit confused on all this though as I haven't really worked with flash devices at all
08:40:15kkurbjunthis openOCD jtag debugger is nice, it really works well with the Xilinx Cables
08:42:04CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
08:42:04*amiconn wonders how a single write might cause duplicated bytes...
08:43:03amiconnThe only thing I can imagine atm is if there are actually 2 flash chips, one for the even and one for the odd bytes, and you're accidentally writing to both of them at the same time...

09:48:55*GodEater wonders how up to date with the current source tree the multi-font patch is anyway
09:49:42laure1what I want to do is use nimbus 12 in the menus and de default font in the play window
09:50:52linuxstbamiconn: If you have a chance, can you copy the MBR from the 80GB - so we can add it to downloads for macpod conversion? They're on the download server, so you'll need to give it to Bagder/LinusN. Can you name it mbr-video80gb-2048.bin ?

09:53:35*GodEater could do that too

09:54:47GodEaterthe very idea
09:55:38 Part laure1
09:55:43GodEaterdo Bagder / Linus have a preferred method for getting it to them
09:56:05B4gdera URL we can get it from
09:56:28GodEaterright - I'll hunt down one of those file sharing sites
09:56:44linuxstbYou could just email it to me and I can host it easily.
09:56:46B4gderyou can email it to us as well if that's easier for you
09:57:16B4gderthose sharing sites are usually so annoying

10:02:05linuxstbMaybe you gave it to me then...
10:02:15GodEatervery possibly
10:03:01GodEatershall I delete the IpodEightyGB wiki page now then ?
10:03:15B4gderhm

10:13:00linuxstbThe MBR references I've seen just have code from 0x0 onwards - e.g. http://www.ata-atapi.com/hiwmbr.htm
10:14:51*petur is puzzled by linuxstb's link
10:15:27linuxstbIs the boot sector the same as the MBR? Your link looks like a "superfloppy" - i.e. a single partition without an MBR/partition table.
10:15:44GodEaterI didn't think a boot sector was the same as an MBR
10:15:52linuxstbBut yes, the MBRs we're getting from ipods seem to match the wikipedia link.
10:16:18GodEaterhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record
10:17:08peturthen why is the name in ascii in that dump?
10:17:34linuxstbAlthough the two "further structures" are all zeros - just the "common structure" (first 36 bytes) match.

10:28:29GodEaterisn't the 2048 on the end of the 80GB's sector kind of superfluous ? It doesn't come in any other size...
10:28:54linuxstbI guess someone could upgrade a 5g with an 80GB disk...
10:29:03GodEaterI suppose so
10:29:15linuxstbBut yes, it's kinda surperfluous...
10:31:01linuxstbSiltaar: If no-one is replying to you in IRC, you could try the rockbox-dev mailing list
10:31:43linuxstbSiltaar: But as you've probably realised - there's no infrastructure for language support in plugins, so that needs to be written before you can use it...
10:32:57B4gderGodEater's MBR is now what we offer
10:33:23linuxstbThanks

13:01:28boris85i have a ipod 80g + rockbox question
13:01:42boris85about the patch#5 posted on flyspray
13:01:58boris85#4 sorry
13:02:04linuxstbWhat's the question?
13:02:44boris85is it fonctionnal yet
13:02:59boris85cause i installed it and it won't play
13:03:10boris85i bet it's normal but just to make sure
13:03:13linuxstbIt should work - what are you trying to play?

13:04:14linuxstbWhat happens when you try to play a file?
13:04:18boris85i been a fan since long
13:04:42boris85in fact the problem seems to occur before showing the normal rb menu
13:04:50boris85i only tried it once
13:05:19boris85since it did not work *that* bad i assumed it was its normal behaviour
13:05:31boris85i m going to try it once again
13:05:39boris85chotto matte ne?
13:05:47linuxstbDid you compile both your own bootloader and your own Rockbox?

13:07:03linuxstbboris85: Which version of the ipodlinux bootloader? Older (before January 2007) versions don't work correctly with Rockbox any more.
13:07:11boris85btw anyway of rebooting an ipod from apple os w/out pressing menu+play?

13:07:49linuxstbI've no idea what that is...
13:07:52DerPapstlinuxstb: older ones before that don't even support the 80Gb iPod :P
13:08:04linuxstbDerPapst: Fair point...
13:08:08boris85it's 2.5d6
13:08:21linuxstbboris85: But anyway, you still haven't told us what happens...
13:08:35boris85i've got rb bleeding 070522
13:08:44boris85patched w/ #4
13:08:46DerPapstyou might have to make a loader cfg. because autodetection is broken in that version
13:09:30boris85it sort of hangs for about 20s displaying rb splash
13:09:32linuxstbDerPapst: Do you remember a conversation you had in #ipodlinux with DataGhost in January about different values in the MBR on the 80GB ipod video? 08 00 compared with 00 02 ?
13:09:53boris85i have a cfg.
13:10:00DerPapstwell i read flew over the log...
13:10:11DerPapsts/read//
13:10:20boris85and then when i go into "files" there isn't any files... too bad
13:10:32linuxstbDerPapst: It's not important, but I'm curious if you ever found the reason for it.
13:10:51linuxstbboris85: Obvious question, but have you copied any files? itunes puts your music in a hidden folder called iPod_Control
13:10:53DerPapstafaik not.
13:11:13boris85another interesting point i've got 772GB of free space, someone wants to buy my ipod?

13:12:24boris85i don't know, don't remember...
13:12:29boris85i think i did...
13:12:40DerPapstyou have iPL installed i guess...
13:12:41boris85you think fat16/32?
13:12:51boris85yes
13:13:03DerPapstnope. it might be a problem with makefs
13:13:09boris85urgh
13:13:22DerPapsti had this problem too.
13:13:36boris85what should i do?
13:13:44DerPapstthe apple fw faild to write to the fat32 created with makefs
13:13:49boris85reformat using window$
13:13:53DerPapstyes
13:13:59DerPapstwould be the easiest.
13:14:52boris85i've had some problems looking like that (corruptions occuring all the time), but i wouldn't affect rb would it?
13:15:31linuxstbIf your filesystem is corrupt, then Rockbox won't be happy...
13:15:35DerPapstthe odd thing is when you use makefs to format the fat32 partition linux and windows are happy with it. The apple fw is able to read from this partition but it fais writing it. but rockbox refuses to work with the partition at all.
13:16:06linuxstbDerPapst: Do you have a 30GB or 80GB?
13:16:19linuxstb(I assume you've got a 5.5g?)
13:16:21DerPapst80GB
13:16:41boris85i have a cool message : *PANIC* \n Writing on sector\n0[a sort of dotted square]
13:17:07linuxstbThen that sounds like a corrupt filesystem...

13:18:31DerPapstthey soved it with re-fromatting the partititon in windows.
13:19:07boris85can i keep the same db files if i reformat? so that i don't have to copy everything w/ itunes...

13:26:59*GodEater managed to find the email address for the CEO of BT Retail this morning, and sent him a long, but polite, complaint email. Five Minutes later someone from his office called and I'm finally starting to see some action out of BT. Woohoo!
13:27:17*petur just managed to get two young birds back out of the office (flew in through the open window) :)
13:27:20GodEaterthat's more or less completely off topic but I had to share it
13:27:26GodEater:)
13:28:51linuxstbGodEater: Nice result :)
13:29:17CassandraCongrats on finding the address. I am in awe.
13:29:21GodEaterlinuxstb: I'll be happiest when I actually have a working phone line / internet connection - but at least someone's taking the time to call *me* rather than the other way round :)
13:29:28CassandraI usually send paper mail.
13:29:58GodEaterI'm willing to share it if anyone else is having similar pain with them
13:30:08GodEaternot that it was that tough to find to be honest
13:30:42GodEatera google search for "ceo" and "BT Retail" turned it up pretty fast
13:30:57CassandraGodEater, look at it this way - at least they're not NTL^WVirgin media, who made me wait three weeks, decided they couldn't give me service the day before, cancelled my installation appointment, but didn't seem to think it was worth mentioning this to me.
13:31:04CassandraThere's a word for people like that.
13:31:07GodEaterI'm suspecting it was the CC: to watchdog@bbc.co.uk that really spurred the action :)
13:31:28GodEaterCassandra: I'm well beyond three weeks of waiting now!
13:31:40*petur personally knows the Benelux region manager
13:31:45peturof BT
13:31:51GodEaterlucky you!
13:31:56linuxstbpetur: Can he help get GodEater a phone line in London?
13:32:18CassandraSpeaking as someone who does a lot of this stuff (complaining) in a semi-professional capacity (I volunteer at the Citizens' Advice Bureau), politeness and persistence are the most important factors in getting results.
13:32:18peturhe's the bass player of my fav band ;)
13:32:22GodEaterthis is from when you kidnapped him and threatened to set his feet on fire for a similar infraction on the continent I guess ?
13:32:40GodEateroh - that's a most disappointing explanation
13:32:45GodEaterI preferred mine
13:32:52peturhe's a very nice guy
13:33:18CassandraGodEater, BT came round within a week for me (although they charged me 125 quid for the privilage and missed the first appointment, but then they did actually provide phone service, unlike NTL.)
13:33:41GodEater£125?!?!?!
13:33:46GodEatergood god that's pricey
13:34:09CassandraIf you need new wire laying, that's what they charge. :(
13:34:19GodEaterah - I'm fortunate there - I don't
13:35:15CassandraAlso why Virgin won't do it. They don't have a legal obligation to provide service, so basically can't be arsed.
13:35:19GodEaterto be fair, the chap who spoke to me this morning was equally nice and coherent. It's just the morons at the call centres I object to
13:35:40GodEaterespecially having to wait for an hour for them to even pick up the phone
13:37:01CassandraYeah, that is annoying.
13:37:13CassandraParticularly when you're on a mobile so it's not free.
13:37:21GodEaterand that's what I've had to put up with every day for three weeks
13:37:32GodEateryeah - I started calling from work to avoid that charge
13:37:54markunGodEater: I worked at a call center. It's really a frustrating job and most of the time I felt like I was the only one who cared about customers.
13:38:08GodEaterI can only imagine
13:38:35Cassandramarkun: It's why when I get a polite and helpful monkey, I always thank them for going the extra mile.
13:38:50GodEaterultimately it's not their fault either - they can only work with the information that's presented to them. If I blame anything directly it's the infrastructure they have for communicating between the departments
13:39:08GodEaterit's clearly extremely useless

13:41:35GodEatermarkun: yep - same where I work. Our helpdesk is in Hungary :(
13:43:23markunGodEater: I've also did helpdesk work for TDK, that was quite ok. If you wanted to send someone a CD with drivers, firmware updates or have their CD burner replaced it was quite easy to do so.
13:52:05GodEaterI used to work on a helpdesk, but it was a pretty specialised company - there were only three of us when I started.

14:22:47LinusNi believe so
14:23:25B4gdergiven the request from an ipl person that we gave credit to them, I was curious to see if they mention us anywhere...
14:23:37LinusNwell, my small contribution was finding out that the 80gb drive only accepted even sector alignment
14:23:46B4gder... and I failed
14:24:29LinusN...which is about all the magic there is about that drive
14:25:55preglowdoubt you'll find anything

14:27:04B4gderno, just in general

14:27:33B4gderbut there's a "thanks to XXX we now support the 5.5G 80GB" post on their site

14:28:56preglowthere's an "et al"
14:28:59preglowthat could be you :O
14:29:25B4gderyay!
14:30:04GodEaterAs I recall, DerPapst from the iPL project noticed the the iPL kernel wasn't doing as badly as our kernel was at reading from the drive. LinusN then sussed about the even sector alignment and always having to read two blocks at a time.
14:30:22GodEaterDataGhost then went and fixed the iPL kernel so it would work properly
14:30:54GodEateroh, and I figured it was an ATA-7 drive I think. Maybe.
14:30:59B4gderyes, I was more curious about the issue in general
14:31:16GodEaterthose are the names of the key players I believe :)
14:31:17B4gderthey have gotten quite some stuff from us
14:31:56GodEaterI'm sure they wouldn't argue

15:21:54B4gderI have a buggy driver too, nvidia...
15:22:09peturheh, mine is nvidia as well
15:22:14*GodEater uses the intel i810 driver, which is damn near perfect :)
15:22:22B4gderbut my problems are usually very minor
15:22:26peturwell I'm not using the nvidia supplied one as that was even worse

15:22:56B4gderI find beryl a fun thing but find no real use for it

16:22:32B4gderperhaps the css can be tweaked
16:22:39preglowi think it looks good

16:23:27linuxstbAlmost as reliable as the B word
16:23:46preglowheh
16:23:59preglowadding more eq features would pretty much only be a gui code job
16:24:05preglowhence, i'm not touching it
16:24:20linuxstbDo you think it's a sensible idea?
16:24:28preglownot really, no
16:24:39cropB4gder: where is that css? Is it http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/themes/Rockbox/theme.css ?
16:24:47preglowone could always argue for more eq bands
16:24:55preglowbut i don't see the point in tweaking filter types
16:25:13preglowthe arrangement with two shelving filters and the rest peaking filters is pretty standard
16:26:26cropAnd the placement / alignment of the labels "Username", "Password" etc is... ehm weird

16:36:01markunnardul: " Lithium-ion is a very clean system and does not need priming as nickel-based batteries do. The 1st charge is no different to the 5th or the 50th charge."
16:36:23markunnardul: so yes, you can just stop charging and continue later
16:36:32preglowlinuxstb: that sucks to a major degree
16:36:46preglowi was very much hoping the fixed point part would be out of our hands
16:37:10nardulmarkun, hmm, weird, sales people are known to be "idiots", but he didn't know that.

19:39:41E2khi anyone here who could help me with a strange rockbox problem
19:39:46E2k?
19:39:57nlsE2k: ask away
19:40:45E2kif i listen to some music after a while the display doesnt change anymone and the keys are not respnsive

19:41:56E2kand the newest build
19:42:20nlsso music keeps playing, and the backlight works but the display seems to lock up?
19:42:26E2kjop
19:42:40*amiconn decided to commit the simplest version of the 80GB patch with a single sector cache
19:42:53nlswhat kind of files do you play?
19:42:58E2kmp3
19:43:20E2ki pay them throu the database
19:43:27E2knot the file browser
19:43:38linuxstbamiconn: Should I build some bootloaders and make a new ipodpatcher release, or are there improvements coming in the very near future?
19:43:39E2kanother stange thing is
19:43:45E2kif i plug in the usb
19:43:52E2kthe music stops
19:43:57nlsok, well I have no idea what may cause this issue, have you tried older builds?
19:43:58E2kthe display stays
19:44:22E2kand anfter maybe 10 minutes it reboots to hard disk mode
19:44:28nlsE2k: if you plugin usb it should enter apple diskmode, and stop music
19:44:37E2kmusic stops
19:44:42E2kno reboot
19:44:51E2konly after a big while
19:45:44E2koh and the locked symbol apears at the top
19:45:54E2kbut cant swich it off
19:46:06E2kvery strange behaviour
19:46:08linuxstbThe locked symbol means the hold switch is on...
19:46:18E2kyes but it isnt
19:46:32E2kand hasnt been used
19:46:36linuxstbHave you been using Rockbox for long?
19:46:40E2knope
19:46:44E2k2 days now
19:46:57linuxstbSo I assume the Apple firmware didn't have the same problem?
19:47:11E2kno the apple firmware seems fine
19:47:15E2kno problems there
19:47:34linuxstbSo the lock symbol appears when you insert USB?
19:47:52linuxstbAnd normally the lock symbol isn't there?
19:47:55E2kit happened just two times
19:48:11E2kwhen i was listening to music
19:48:22E2kand then tried to swich it off
19:48:33E2ki noticed this bug
19:49:48E2ki am try ing to reproduce it right now
19:49:58E2kresetted the ipod
19:50:43E2kselected the first song of an album in the database
19:51:03E2klets see if it happens again
19:51:58amiconnlinuxstb: I think we should release a new bootloader + ipodpatcher (+rbutil)
19:53:01linuxstbamiconn: OK. rbutil doesn't need updating - it downloads the bootloaders, rather than embedding them.
19:53:06amiconnChanging the FAT driver and fs will be a lot more work and hence won't happen soon. And since the bootloader doesn't need to write, there is no performance problem
19:56:19amiconnlinuxstb: Do we now know what amount of RAM the G5.5/30GB has?
19:56:28Nico_Pamiconn: hurray ! :D

20:03:27liniare there any major differences between the patch in FS #6549 and the commit?

20:04:34amiconnlini: There are differences. The latest patch uses 2 sector buffers, the committed version only uses one
20:04:51Nico_Pamiconn: it's quite a lot of code... adding 1k is easy
20:04:58amiconnThis speeds up directory scan a bit, all other operations stay the same

20:05:18a1titudewell, good work getting this far! :)
20:05:26liniI noticed that the 5.5G 80gb boots a little bit slower than the 30GB 5G
20:05:36amiconnI could have sped up other directory operations by using 8 buffers or more, but imho it's not worth it
20:05:37liniusing the same bootloader/firmware
20:05:45linibut it's no big deal
20:05:52E2kthe any ideas
20:06:17amiconnSequential writing would still stay as slow as now

20:12:42peturDerPapst: ipl is mentioned in the CREDITS file
20:13:01peturI admit this was done only some days ago
20:13:20LearAnyone against my bookmark patch?
20:14:05LloreanLear: You should ask on the mailing list.
20:14:10DerPapstpetur: right. after i requested it ;)
20:14:28LearI've mentioned it there, though it was on the developer list...
20:14:36petursure, but leaving ipl out was not done on purpose
20:14:38LloreanIt's been said pretty clearly now, if you're uncertain about a patch the mailing list is where to go because IRC only necessarily gets seen by the people watching the screen at the right time.
20:14:42DerPapst"requested" sounds a bit hard in this context though

20:17:42LearChecked the current build page lately? :)
20:17:42amiconnThere is a 64MB build...
20:17:47robin0800can you see my earlier question
20:17:49DerPapsti just said the abouve because it sounded in log like i've only requested to have iPL in the creditsfile because "we figured out the 5.5G 80GB" which isn't true. It was teamwork of both projects.

20:34:17nlsLear: does building for coldfire with gcc 4.1 bring any benefits?
20:34:46Lear_Not that I know of, really, but since the change was so small...
20:35:14Lear_Haven't made any proper test though, e.g., using the new codec tester plugin.
20:35:22nlsLear_: so is it difficult to set up or just compile a new gcc/binutils?
20:36:58Lear_Well, 4.1.x is pretty easy (IIRC), at least if you use binutils 2.16.1. To use binutils 2.17, you really need 4.3, which isn't out yet (but that really needs a binutils _newer_ than 2.17)... :)
20:36:59amiconnXavierGr: For a LED backlight you would need a proper light frame + diffusor, and there isn't enough room behind the LCD to fit that

20:39:23linuxstbTesters needed for new ipodpatcher - http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/ipodpatcher-1.1.zip
20:39:32nardulI can unplug it, but is there some way to shut it down?
20:39:57linuxstbNew set of bootloaders is here - http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/bootloaders.zip (amiconn - can you build for amd64?)
20:40:31DerPapstlinuxstb: the version of ipodpatcher still detects my both ipods well (5.5G 3G)
20:40:59Lloreannardul: We have no idea what player you're talking about, so it's a little hard for anyone to help
20:41:42DerPapstlinuxstb: since you've only changed the way it detects the ipod i haven't tested the installation of the bootloader or any other functions.
20:41:46nardulLlorean, ah, yeah, an ipod :) It's because i've been in here soo many times. 5.5g
20:42:17LloreanIf you're in USB mode because you plugged in a USB cable in Rockbox, unplugging it should lead to it restarting.
20:42:30LloreanIf you manually entered USB mode, you'll have to manually restart, that's the way the Apple firmware works.
20:43:04amiconnLlorean: I thought it would be like that on all ipods, but the G5.5/80 is different...
20:43:13nardulLlorean, It's in rockbox, it just says "don't unplug" so i was wondering if there was a way i ought to shut it down first, thanks.
20:43:29Lloreannardul: It's not in Rockbox, Rockbox doesn't have a USB mode.
20:43:33Lloreanamiconn: The 80gb requires a manual restart?
20:43:35DerPapstLlorean: if i enter diskmode manually it reboots after 15 seconds if not connected (5.5G 80GB)
20:43:44amiconnLlorean: No, the opposite
20:43:53nardulLlorean, I know, but rockbox automatically reboots into it
20:43:55LloreanAh
20:43:59amiconnDiskmode reboots after unplugging even if entered manually
20:44:04Lloreanamiconn: Ah, interesting
20:44:21Lloreannardul: Yes, but it's not "in Rockbox", I just wanted to make sure you were aware of that.
20:44:36DerPapstthe 30GB 5.5G uses the same aupd image.. so in theory it should act the same

20:46:00linuxstbI didn't know the debug menu did that... I wonder where the info comes from.
20:48:34amiconnIt reads the PP version string from 0x70000000 and 0x70000004
20:49:00amiconnAnd for some reason the HW rev reported on the G5.5/80 is 0xffffffff

20:49:44amiconnhmm
20:50:22linuxstbThat's a hack still there from the very early days of the port - it's read a magic location in flash, so is done in the bootloader. Now we remap flash, we could just do it in Rockbox itself...
20:50:55linuxstbIt's only needed on the Photo/Color - to help distinguish between the two LCD types.
20:51:46amiconnWell, we could also use it to distinguish mini G1/G2, but there are more differences than just the LCD data ports
20:52:16amiconn...like buttons+wheel
20:53:32linuxstbThe two mini builds don't seem have caused any problems so far, so I can't see a big need for merging them.

20:54:21*amiconn wonders what PP is in the G5.5/30

21:07:05a1titudeso the 80gb ipod port is good to go then I take it...
21:07:15GhoulunaticI got the confirmation that it connected
21:07:27linuxstbamiconn: Maybe the PP5021 was made especially for Apple (hence no public brief). We know there is 128KB of IRAM, because the reboot-to-USB procedure involves writing some magic to the end of IRAM, and that's based on 128KB for the Nano, Video and 2nd Gen Mini.
21:07:30DerPapsta1titude: already in SVN
21:08:03amiconnlinuxstb: But why does it report PP5022C then?
21:08:08a1titudeyeah, I've got it! :) thanks - If I find any bugs, I'll keep you updated.
21:08:10linuxstbThat I can't answer...
21:08:22amiconnThe "real" PP5022 (in the mini G2) says PP5022B
21:09:05DerPapstThe PP in the nano is listed as "PP5021C-TDF" in the generations wiki...
21:09:29linuxstbMaybe it started life as a revision of the 5022, and then the marketing people wanted to give it a new number...
21:10:10linuxstbDerPapst: Yes, same as this photo of a 5g shows - http://media.arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/video-ipod.media/ipodvideo-mainchips.jpg

21:34:38jnitetimeok, well i followed the manual instructions, and when i booted up my iPod, it only showed the startup Apple, so i figured it was a firmware problem, so i flipped the Hold switch, and it said "Error! cannot load Rockbox.iPod, file not found"
21:34:52jnitetimeand.. yeah...kinda need the file to work
21:34:56Ghoulunaticok, I supposedly got the original firmware loaded
21:34:58Ghoulunaticor the previous
21:35:13linuxstbjnitetime: Did you download and extract rockbox.zip ?
21:35:20jnitetimei did
21:35:54jnitetimei can get the original firmware to boot, just not RockBox
21:35:56linuxstbThat should have given you a .rockbox folder (note the leading dot) in the root of your ipod, with a rockbox.ipod file (and lots of other things) inside.
21:36:20Ghoulunaticgod dammit
21:36:34Ghoulunaticnow its loading the gigabeat splash and the load bar gets half wayup and freezes
21:37:02jnitetimesee, the thing with that is, i got a rockbox folder that took up 1.9 MB, but i opened it and nothing was in it, so i copied it to the root of iPod and it took longer to copy than it should for an empty folder
21:37:43linuxstbGhoulunatic: The worst that can happen is that you need to do the "recovery mode trick" - which involves unscrewing the back case of your ipod, and hot-plugging the disk. The wiki describes the process.
21:37:51linuxstbjnitetime: Are you on a Mac?
21:37:59jnitetimeyeah...why?
21:38:39linuxstb1) The Mac unzip program creates an extra "rockbox" folder not specified in the zip file itself; 2) The Mac OS X finder doesn't show you folders beginning with a dot.

22:50:32amiconnThey're outside trunk/ so they don't get checked out by default
22:50:57Nico_Pis that a problem ?
22:51:05amiconnBut the copy in svn doesn't match the current website atm, and they're not used anymore
22:51:19Nico_Pah now I see the proble
22:51:34amiconnWith cvs, they were used, and committing something to cvs updated the site, offloading some work from the server admins...
22:51:37Nico_Pif it were in SVN we could all improve it :)
22:52:06linuxstbTrueJournals: Fix for test_codec committed - thanks.
22:52:21TrueJournalsThank YOU :-)
22:52:50Nico_Pamiconn: what would the fix need ?
22:53:40amiconnSyncing svn with what's currently on the site, plus fixing some server side scripts I presume
22:54:02Nico_Pso that when a commit is done the website gets updated ?
22:54:54amiconnStatic pages aren't stored as-is in svn, they have a .t extension and used to be preprocessed on commit to generate the actual html
22:55:15amiconn(using cpp)

22:57:05Nico_Pwhat's cpp ? not the C preprocessor ?

22:57:34amiconnYOu could just check out the www module to see what I mean
22:57:42TrueJournalsTo compile test_codec correctly... I need to add it to SOURCES, viewers.config, and... anything else? I feel like I'm missing something...
22:57:50Alienbiker99so 80gb is officially added?

23:14:19a1titudewill my ipod charge while booted to rockbox? I can't seem to find any infomation in the manual.
23:14:30preglowamiconn: sure, but top-performance isn't exactly very essential for what we do
23:14:38linuxstbzerogmr: Yes, but not very well at the moment on the greyscale LCDs.
23:14:46preglowmy typing sucks again :/
23:15:02bluebrothera1titude: yes.
23:15:29bluebrotherbut if you connect it to usb for charging the charging might be slower than the power drain from operating
23:15:31TrueJournalsBah, someone figure out how to use the radio on the H10!
23:15:36amiconnpreglow: Most of the time it's not, but there are 2 operations where fs performance makes a big difference: (1) database build/update, (2) Deleting large directories, e.g. using disktidy
23:16:30amiconnUsing dircache for (1) means roughly a 10x speedup, just because of the improved open() performance (everything else in the fs stays at the same speed or even becomes slightly slower)
23:17:11linuxstbzerogmr: See the PluginMpegplayer wiki page - but support for greyscale LCDs in mpegplayer should only really be considered experimental. They may not be usable.
23:17:20amiconnI was surprised of how quick the full db rebuild on my H180 finished...
23:17:52 Join petur [0] (n=petur@rockbox/developer/petur)
23:17:55amiconnlinuxstb: It's not usable on any greyscale ipod, because the load from the greyscale lib makes sound stutter
23:18:25preglowamiconn: everything else becoming slower using dircache is expected, i think, since the physical operation has to be done in addition to the dircache update itself, since we have no long-term fs caching

23:21:08bluebrotherthat way you can charge from a usb port. But this currently doesn't draw that much power that the usb port can deliver, so charging is really slow
23:21:12preglowamiconn: one run without dircache and one with?
23:21:29amiconnwould be nice
23:21:31bluebrotherbut there are Ipods around that come without a usb charger but only a usb cable
23:22:41amiconnpreglow: Expect one run to take roughly 5 minutes, and make sure there is enough free space.
23:22:50bluebrotherso ... anyone cracked the nano 2G yet? ;-)
23:23:03amiconnThe plugin needs enough space for ~10 seconds of writing data, so ~100MB should be enough
23:23:18a1titudeMine didn't come with a usb charger, just a cable, but I already had a usb charger that I bourght for my iAudio U2 - so am I better to use the wall charger or charge it in diskmode via the computer?
23:23:43preglowcreate 1 files/sec, what the hell
23:23:50amiconnwow!
23:24:00amiconnSlower than all others, even the Ondio
23:24:10amiconn...and the G5.5/80
23:24:13preglowdoes these tests depend on file system structure?
23:24:17preglowi have tons of small files lying around
23:24:18linuxstbpreglow: For reference, here's my log from my ipod video - http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/test_disk_log_02.txt
23:24:44amiconnpreglow: It just creates file for 10 seconds and counts them
23:25:09preglowamiconn: yeah, and file system structure has no effect on how fast creat() is?
23:25:13amiconnThose files are all empty, so fragmentation *should* not have a significant effect
23:25:23preglowi know nothing about fat
23:26:07preglowso far the results look lousy
23:26:13preglowfar worse than linuxstb's
23:26:43peturas long as the file only needs one fat cluster fragmentation does not do much, but maybe how full the disk is may have some influence (hunt for empty clusters)
23:27:29amiconnpetur: Well, fragmentation will hit if the directory needs to be extended
23:27:36preglowi'll tidy up the disk and try again just for kicks
23:27:48peturah yes, that's true
23:28:13amiconnBut since it creates 1 file/second, there can't be more than 19, and one dir sector allows for 32 entries (and on the nano one cluster is most likely larger than 1 sector)
23:28:33amiconn(19 because of simple integer division)
