00:07:15webguest81sorry guys, do you know why all the wps for ipod video don't properly work on the ipod 80 gb???
00:07:19webguest81i'm going mad
00:07:29Soul-SlayerAre you using the official build
00:07:30Soul-Slayer?*
00:08:19webguest44Where can i find the folder where the .c files are on my computer? i'm trying to put matrix.c in my h10, but i cant find where to put them
00:08:35 Join skyfaller [0] (n=nelson@wikipedia/Skyfaller)
00:08:38Soul-SlayerYou have to compile it with the rest of the source code.
00:08:42rasherwebguest81, Have you installed the fonts? They can be found on the "current build" page, and are explained in the manual as well as on the extras page, which is also linked in the menu on rockbox.org.
00:08:47DerPapsteven better: are you using wpses that are still up to date with the latest rockbox version?
00:08:56skyfalleryesss! just got my new iPod video
00:09:01DerPapsti don't have any issues with my wps on my 80GB iPod
00:09:15rasherwebguest44, You will need to compile the plugin, but first you will need to update it because it's horribly outdated and somewhat broken.
00:09:38rasherwebguest44, Considering how you phrased your question, I think the answer is that it won't work
00:10:12webguest81ok
00:10:17webguest81I'm gonna try right now
00:10:23Soul-SlayerHave fun
00:10:56DerPapstbut i had to fix minor parts of the wps because they were broken
00:11:05rasherBagder, any other ideas?
00:11:15webguest81DerPapst, have you installed the fonts?
00:11:22DerPapstrecrosscompile sdl?
00:11:25Soul-SlayerOf course.
00:11:27DerPapstyes
00:11:39DerPapstSoul-Slayer == Derpapst?
00:11:54webguest44Can you apply a patch in windows?
00:11:55DerPapst:P
00:11:57Soul-SlayerSoul-Slayer <= DerPapst :P
00:12:08DerPapstheh
00:12:15Bagderrasher: can you try a somewhat older release and see if this problem was introduced with a rockbox change?
00:12:20rasherDerPapst, Hrm, I could try that, but it's been working for so long with no changes, so I'm rather of the opinion tht that's not the issue
00:12:28Bagderwell not release but rev
00:12:48DerPapstwebguest44: yes
00:12:52BagderI doubt think rebuilding sdl will do anything good for this
00:12:54Soul-Slayerwebguest44: Only if you're up for setting up a linux environment within windows, be it cygwin or vmware
00:13:02Bagderhm, "I don't"
00:13:11*Bagder types crappppppy
00:13:12webguest81ok, it does works!!!! thank you very much
00:13:13webguest81!!
00:13:19rasherBagder, do you remember off the top of your head how to checkout a specific date?
00:13:25Soul-SlayerEnjoy.
00:13:38rasherBagder, nevermind, I rtfm
00:13:39Bagderrasher: you can "svn up -r<rev>"
00:13:43DerPapstwebguest81: :)
00:13:59Bagderor "-r{date}" with a iso8601 date
00:17:26webguest44Soul-Slayer, What? I was trying to use microsofts Virtual PC 2007 thing but i dont have the right os. I have XP home, and it only works on the Professional version. Look it up on google. you can run linux in it if you want is the summary of thnis message, i don't want to do all this work to play Pong against my H10!!!

00:20:45DerPapstwhere is the patch?
00:20:47Soul-SlayerWell I wouldn't call it a 'revelation'... But it does what is advertised.
00:21:05webguest44on the traCKER
00:21:15Soul-SlayerI think he's like the number ^^

00:24:28rasherBagder, nope, the old version doesn't work either. And neither mingw32, make or any other related package has been updated recently as far as I can tell. Trying to replace "" with <> now
00:24:47DerPapstmulti_pulse_patch? wth?
00:24:55webguest44DerPapst, yes.
00:26:04Soul-SlayerDerPapst: It's because if music is playing, the pads colours change to pulse with the music
00:26:14DerPapstlet's check it out ;)
00:26:25DerPapstyay
00:26:49Soul-SlayerThere's only so much you can do with a game of pong...
00:26:54webguest44Yay!! i think it should be included with rockbox
00:27:07DerPapstwebguest44: what's the capacity of your h10?
00:27:17webguest4420 gb
00:27:36webguest44I have it right here

00:31:27krazykitDerPapst, just install linux and be done with it :D
00:31:30DerPapsti'm doing 2 builds at a time :D
00:31:43DerPapsti have linux installed.
00:32:07amiconnHmm, one shouldn't have multiple targets connected and then copy rockbox over without first checking which target got what drive letter :/
00:32:13DerPapstbut my kernel is old and contains a bug which causes SDL not to build
00:32:21webguest44DerPapst, what player do you have
00:32:36DerPapstamiconn: hehe
00:32:36krazykitDerPapst, that makes no sense. the kernel doesn't affect sdl.
00:32:49krazykitamiconn, whoops, eh
00:32:51DerPapstwebguest44: 3G iPoD and 5.%G IPod
00:33:02amiconn5% iPod? ;)
00:33:19krazykitit's only a few of the cables he's building it for
00:33:31rasherBagder, still no luck, although I get a different error now
00:33:35Soul-SlayerHe stole a scrollwheel.
00:33:43DerPapstkrazykit: it does. SDL includes headerfiles and something is wrong with joystics
00:34:44krazykitDerPapst, −−without-joystick?
00:34:53DerPapstamiconn: when i build rockbox my computer laaaaaags. infach i type faster than my pc is spitting out the chars on the screen and then the shift key hangs from time to time too
00:35:01webguest44Does that even count as an ipod? Like a harddrive and the motherboard are 25%
00:35:31DerPapstkrazykit: i'm not a linux guru so i don't know if that works.i'
00:35:38DerPapstll try that tomorrow :)th

00:38:47*webguest44 waits for an update from DerPapst
00:38:54DerPapstthe h10 build is slower than the sim one.... odd. normaly the arm build is Faster ;)
00:39:19LloreanWhy is Fade on Stop/Pause enabled by default? As far as I'm concerned, it just makes the thing feel unresponsive.
00:40:08DerPapstere is the setting to kill that or at least shorten the fade out?
00:41:04DerPapst*indeed, where....
00:41:05Soul-SlayerLlorean: I think it's more to be aimed at the end user. One of the first things people I have shown Rockbox to have mentioned is 'how cool' a feature that is. Personally I don't find it much of a bonus either, but there we go.
00:41:48LloreanIt's the last thing I forget to turn off every time I end up accidentally clearing my settings
00:41:53DerPapsti think iT's a pita. i don't like it.
00:41:55LloreanDerPapst: Can't remember at the moment. Playback maybe.
00:42:05LloreanWe've gotten a bug report or two about it in the past.
00:42:21Soul-SlayerDerPapst: Settings -> General -> Playback -> Fade on stop/pause
00:42:23Soul-SlayerI believe.
00:42:38*Llorean goes to dinner
00:43:03Soul-SlayerLlorean: How on earth do you accidentally clear your settings often?
00:43:38Bagderit used to be very common
00:43:42DerPapstwow... finally building the h10 plugins :-/
00:43:45Bagderbefore we got the config in a text file
00:43:54Soul-SlayerWhere did it used to be stored?
00:44:03Bagderbinary in a sector
00:44:20Soul-SlayerSo every time you used a new build it wiped?
00:44:24Bagderand it was modified and thus made incompatible often, and then it was reset

00:48:41DerPapstmaybe i have messed with it and never reverted...
00:48:56DerPapstbut it didn't fail on any other builds so far
00:50:39webguest44is it done? is it done? is it done?
00:50:41DerPapstwebguest44: wait a sec...
00:51:07Soul-Slayerwebguest44: It's a game of pong with an AI element to it, calm yourself :p
00:51:13DerPapstwebguest44: do you care about rockboy?
00:51:29DerPapsthttp://217.235.17.112/rockbox-full.zip
00:52:05DerPapstif so you should backup rockboy.rock and the viewer config

01:06:13Soul-Slayerwebguest44: It's a codec (Like MP3, FLAC, OGG) which was starter implemented in a patch
01:06:30Soul-SlayerAnd I'm guessing DerPapst applied the patch and didn't revert it when he sent it to you

01:31:46DerPapstthen replace the one from the zip with the backuped one
01:31:57Soul-SlayerDerPapst: That wouldn't work though, if the build version is different to the .rock version it'll just complain about incompatabilities
01:32:05DerPapstuntil no one messes with the menu api this should work.
01:32:25DerPapstoh...
01:32:31DerPapstthen don't update :P
01:32:31Soul-SlayerI'm fairly sure
01:32:53webguest44Im fine with the build. i update every 3 weeks or so.

01:38:30Soul-SlayerHello.
01:38:38amiconnmhmrrr
01:38:41*DerPapst counted 10 people with svn access right now.
01:38:48DerPapstbut i probably missed some ;)
01:38:59webguest44Cool DerPapst
01:39:19DerPapstmiepchen^schlaf: you aren't sleeping.... i knew that :P
01:39:23webguest89I'm having a problem installing rockbox onto my 5G Ipod, anybody willing to give some advice?
01:39:25webguest44webguest89, whats up
01:39:43Soul-SlayerDetails please webguest89
01:39:55webguest89I'm getting a data abort error whenever I play any MP3
01:39:58*amiconn counts 17
01:40:08Soul-SlayerAre you using the latest bootloader and SVN?
01:40:09DerPapsthehe
01:40:13webguest89it happens as soon as I hit play
01:40:13DerPapstsee? ;)
01:40:14webguest89yes
01:40:35DerPapsti probably don't even know all of them
01:40:38webguest89I'm thinking my Ipod may be on its last legs
01:40:38 Quit doc|home (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
01:40:53Soul-SlayerWell, does the apple firmware work? If so, I doubt there's anything wrong with it
01:41:30*webguest44 sugests PMing them!@
01:41:34webguest89the apple firmware does work
01:41:40Soul-SlayerWhen did you last install the bootloader?
01:41:45*amiconn wonders whether the nano boots with the CPU set to 80MHz
01:41:53DerPapstwebguest89: and you're using the latest build also?
01:41:57webguest89yes
01:42:02*Soul-Slayer wonders why it wouldn't
01:42:08webguest89last updated the bootloader today
01:42:32*Soul-Slayer checks recent commits to see what could have done this
01:42:42amiconnSoul-Slayer: All other ipods boot with the CPU set to 24MHz
01:42:50*webguest44 wonders about Ipodlinux
01:42:59Soul-Slayerwebguest89: What build last worked for you, or is this the first one you tried?
01:43:24webguest89this is the first one I have tried
01:43:29Soul-Slayeramiconn: I wish I knew how you worked all this out, lol
01:43:39Soul-Slayerwebguest89: Give me a few mins.

01:43:51DerPapstwebguest89: there will be a new daily build soon. use that instead and when you get a dataabort as well we can easily check where it happens when you give us the address
01:43:58webguest89ok thanks
01:44:04amiconnSome info from the ipl wiki, disassembling a whole bunch of original firmwares, checking register dumps...
01:44:33Soul-SlayerYou make it sound so easy
01:44:47DerPapstwebguest89: but not the current one.. you might have to wait 24hours.
01:44:49*webguest44 adds a please-your-charming-and-wonderful-devs to any actions that involve the devs.
01:44:52amiconnFinding the boot speed is actually quite simple - just measure it (with a calibrated delay loop) without letting rockbox touch the setting before
01:44:57webguest89ok no problem
01:45:02DerPapsti don't know when a new dailybuild is triggert
01:45:12Soul-Slayerwebguest89: Do you have a regular iPod video or a 64MB one?
01:45:18amiconnDerPapst: 6am ce(s)t afaik
01:45:35DerPapstah..
01:45:47webguest89regular
01:45:59DerPapstwebguest89: 30GB one?
01:46:10Soul-Slayerhttp://download.rockbox.org/daily/ipodvideo/rockbox-ipodvideo-20070730.zip Install that build for me please and tell me if it works
01:46:40webguest89yeah 30 GB
01:47:06 Quit rasher ("leaving")
01:47:25Soul-SlayerIf that build works I imagine something from barrywardell's commit broke the 5g
01:47:38webguest89doing it now
01:47:40webguest44If no one gets my See FIT!! FIT!! joke, my life is nothing ;(
01:47:43Soul-SlayerOkay thanks.
01:47:53Soul-Slayerwebguest44: I don't get it.
01:48:40webguest89data abort at 0002fbe0 is the error I'm getting
01:48:46Soul-SlayerStill?
01:48:50webguest89yes
01:49:02Soul-SlayerNot that then... Lets try a much older build then
01:49:02webguest44You said that they would pounce when they see 'fit'. FIT!! FIT!!

01:51:59Soul-SlayerHmm...
01:52:58Soul-SlayerLets get this right... You're using a 30GB iPod video, you installed the latest ipodpatcher today, and no builds seem to work?
01:53:07webguest89yes
01:53:26amiconngah
01:53:35DerPapstthere are a vew reported cases about that.
01:53:35webguest44Why do you still want Rockbox?
01:53:44DerPapstuse a build about 2 weeks ago
01:54:03Soul-SlayerI just gave him a build from the 13th of July
01:54:10Soul-SlayerWait, was that a Friday?
01:54:19Soul-SlayerAck it was. :p
01:54:39webguest89I heard good things about the software, the main thing that attracted me is dragging and dropping MP3s onto the Ipod
01:54:47webguest44Try one from Feb. 21
01:55:10Soul-Slayerhttp://download.rockbox.org/daily/ipodvideo/rockbox-ipodvideo-20070701.zip Earliest archived build on the site
01:55:12Soul-SlayerTry that
01:55:17webguest89I was thinking of getting a Iaudio or something soon anyway
01:55:31 Part skyfaller ("Leaving")
01:56:14Soul-SlayerHow do you identify between the regular build and the 64mb ram one?
01:57:05webguest44I had a good idea. What about putting a 20 Questions game as a plug in. Call it Qbox
01:57:21Soul-SlayerGet coding :)
01:58:12webguest89back in a tick sorry
01:58:12webguest44I dont think Radica will tell me those secrets
01:58:19Soul-SlayerOk
01:58:37DerPapstSoul-Slayer: there are 2 different build. so you don't have to identify them on runtime.

01:59:10Soul-SlayerNo, but how would I as the end user identify it?
01:59:27Soul-SlayerI can't just look at my ipod and go 'Yeah, that looks like it's packing 64mb of ram' :P
01:59:29webguest44Qbox is a cool name, though. Right?
01:59:43webguest44The idea is cool, Right?
01:59:45Soul-SlayerWe already have xobox, zybox, pacbox
02:00
02:00:04webguest44But no Qbox

02:01:04Soul-SlayerThe point I'm making is anything with the 'box' suffix is nothing new :p
02:01:09webguest89Sorry, I simply assumed that this was the 32MB model as I bought this Ipod pretty much as soon as they came out
02:01:29DerPapstSoul-Slayer: 30GB iPod video = 32MB ram 60/80GB iPod = 46MB ram
02:01:34DerPapst*64MB even
02:01:35Soul-SlayerI'm not saying you're wrong, I just don't know how you're meant to find out
02:01:38Soul-SlayerAhh ok.
02:01:43webguest89plus I don't have this search function that's available on the 5.5G Ipod
02:01:58Soul-Slayer5.5g = 60/80 or just 80?
02:02:05webguest44Soul-Slayer, but the idea is.
02:02:10webguest89no idea sorry
02:02:18Robin0800Soul-Slayer,what size is hard disk?
02:02:44webguest89i think 5.5G is just 30GB for the lower end and 80 GB for the higher end
02:03:01Soul-SlayerI don't have one, I'm just not sure how you go about working it out
02:03:12webguest44pixlema, WT heck
02:03:15Soul-SlayerAnyhow. webguest89, did you try the older build I said?
02:04:26webguest89data abort at 000305b0
02:04:31Robin0800webguest89,what size is hard disk?
02:04:54webguest89I think the problem lies within the Ipod, it's been performing very slowly recently
02:04:57Soul-SlayerI'm stumped.
02:04:58webguest89it's a 30GB
02:05:13webguest89thanks for your help anyway

02:08:09Soul-SlayerUnless they just expect you to be using larger files, so it doesn't want to spin up the disk as often
02:08:27DerPapstSoul-Slayer: maybe the hdd drains more power while active. So you have double the size to preload more data
02:08:35Robin0800more videos perhaps

04:47:37TiMiD[FD]linuxchuck: I've got 8 minutes for you
04:48:09linuxchuck:-) Thanks! Here's my question:
04:48:40linuxchuckI'm building one of my first *official* c programs, and am working on a playlist builder as a plugin for rockbox.
04:49:07linuxchuckI'm looking for a way to enable d_type (found in dirent.h) for detecting file types
04:49:18linuxchucksuch as directory, file, and so-on.
04:49:29linuxchuckor, is there a better way to detect the file type?
04:49:55TiMiD[FD]hmm
04:49:58linuxchuckI'm basically currently working on the recursive directory scanner that hunts for mp3 files, and returns results.
04:50:01TiMiD[FD]let me check that ...
04:50:09linuxchuck'preciate it.
04:50:24TiMiD[FD]cannot you check the files by extension btw ?
04:51:05linuxchuckyes, but... there are a large number of "what if" scenarios I have to account for.
04:51:27linuxchuckOne of the first lessons I ever learned about writing programs, is to NEVER expect your users to do something smart.
04:51:27linuxchuck:-p
04:51:38linuxchuckwhat if they create a directory with a .mp3 extension?
04:51:58linuxchuckthings like that. I'm doing my best to make the program "idiot resistant".
04:52:03TiMiD[FD]ah
04:52:03linuxchuck:-)
04:52:09TiMiD[FD]sorry I misenderstood ...
04:52:15LloreanYou shouldn't only expect music to be MP3s
04:52:21TiMiD[FD]so you wanna make the difference between files and dirs ...
04:52:21LloreanYou'll need to cover all audio types Rockbox does
04:52:22linuxchuckoh, it's no problem.
04:52:28linuxchuckexactly.
04:52:37LloreanWhat you'll really want to do is use the list of audio extensions Rockbox supports, then rule out directories.
04:52:43LloreanRockbox won't recognize music files with bad extensions anyway
04:52:47linuxchuckwhich is why I'll most likely set it up to take a command line argument for certain things.
04:52:55TiMiD[FD]isn't there a plugin that goes recursively through the directories already ?
04:52:59linuxchuckyep.
04:53:10linuxchuckoh, wasn't answering your plugin question.
04:53:17linuxchuckis ther?
04:53:23linuxchucks/ther/there/
04:53:36LloreanThe configuration plugin for the random folder playback does, I believe
04:53:38linuxchuckperhaps I can look to that for inspiration.
04:53:43LloreanIt shows you a list of all folders and subfolders on your device
04:53:44TiMiD[FD]entry = rb->readdir(dir);if(entry->attribute & ATTR_DIRECTORY) ...
04:53:49linuxchuckexcellent! I'll hunt for it.
04:53:55midgey34i thought disktidy did as well
04:54:21linuxchuckum... I don't think the attribute is stored as a flag, so & won't work.
04:54:37linuxchuckit'd have to be == I think. If my research so far is correct.
04:54:55TiMiD[FD]it works like that
04:54:56linuxchuckand the types would be stored in a struct, and found under d_type
04:55:03linuxchuckah, ok. I'll give it a try.
04:55:12linuxchuckperhaps I've been barking up the wrong tree.
04:55:35linuxchuckI'll go through the two plugins mentioned earlier, and see if I can get my version working here.
04:56:02linuxchuckheh... then I'll have to learn how to cross-compile... but that's a whole different bridge to cross, and I've a ways to go.
04:56:42linuxchuckThank you both for your suggestions. I'll see what I can figure out with them.
04:59:28linuxchuckHere is another quick (and hopefully not too stupid) question:
04:59:32linuxchuckif you are still here...
05:00
05:00:13linuxchuckIs it reasonable for me to believe that I can build, compile, and test my program on my regular Linux system before attempting to cross-compile it for the Rockbox platform?

05:54:10TiMiD[FD]linuxchuck: if your code only touches files and spit a playlist file, then it's very probable that it'll work the same in the sim as on the device, but when you have a running code I recommend to test it on your player because sometimes there are surprises, like stack overflows or weird crashes
05:54:39 Join midgey34 [0] (n=tjross@c-71-205-31-207.hsd1.mi.comcast.net)
05:55:48linuxchuckI understand. Basically, I planned to develop it on my machine first because it is also a learning tool for me to get myself beyond the limits of what my C programming books can teach. I thought that if I was successful in making it work on a typical linux box, then I should consider porting it over to rockbox.
05:56:59TiMiD[FD]bah
05:57:09TiMiD[FD]you can start with rockbox on the sim
05:57:13TiMiD[FD]it's not very difficult
05:57:24linuxchuckIt's technically my first "real" project outside of the canned ones provided in the books. It's the first one I've actually had a personal interest in making work. So hopefully, I'll stick with it, and make it into something functional and useful.
05:57:42TiMiD[FD]when you don't know how to do something just look how they do in the other plugins
05:57:52TiMiD[FD]ok
05:58:23TiMiD[FD]are you new to programming too ?
05:59:04linuxchuckwell... that kind of depends. I'm new to c. I can make bash scripts sing and dance, and have a fair hand at PHP.
05:59:16linuxchuckSo programming concepts are not new to me, but I am a complete newbie to c.
05:59:30TiMiD[FD]ok
05:59:44TiMiD[FD]so it shouldn't be that hard to get something working !
05:59:58TiMiD[FD]good luck

09:03:21scorche`no as in "rockbox cant"
09:03:23scorche`=)
09:03:24MacGyver88I mean, can I watch .avi movies on my iPod with Rockbox installed on it
09:03:27scorche`no
09:03:33MacGyver88d'oh!
09:05:24***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
09:05:25LloreanConvert them to mpeg
09:05:40LloreanThe iPod isn't powerful enough to scale them automatically anyway, so you'd have to convert them to at least the right size.
09:05:55MacGyver88ah that's the reason!
09:06:17LloreanThere's no sense doing a lot of work to support multiple formats if people *have* to convert anyway, right?
09:06:48MacGyver88yep
09:07:17*markun wonders if some people don't know that avi is a container format
09:07:30MacGyver88I didn't know that players aren't powerful enough to scale them.
09:07:39MacGyver88markun, i didn't know it :)
09:07:45scorche`markun: i would be willing to bet that most dont
09:07:49MacGyver88I'm not so expert in this kinda stuff
09:07:58markunThe Gigabeat S will probably be powerful enough
09:07:59LloreanYeah, AVI can hold many formats.
09:08:10LloreanThough most commonly these days it includes XViD or DiVX
09:08:15LloreanAt least, as far as I've seen
09:08:28peturmarkun: but mpegplayer doesn't read it, even if it contains an mpeg stream, right?
09:08:42markunbut mp3 is not the only popular audio codec used. I see a lot of ac3
09:08:54MacGyver88by format you mean kind of compression?
09:09:08LloreanMacGyver88: Yeah.
09:09:22MacGyver88I know that AVI can hold XviD or DivX
09:09:37MacGyver88so that's the main reason.
09:09:48MacGyver88pity :(
09:13:47LloreanWhy?
09:13:57LloreanAs I said, you'll have to convert 'em anyway, right?
09:14:02markunLlorean: more work for him :)

09:14:13MacGyver88right, markun... :)))
09:14:15Lloreanmarkun: It's only more work if he didn't need to convert.
09:14:39markunwell, his player has a chip which is powerful enough to do that, so it's a pity we can't make use of that
09:14:40LloreanThere's no different in the amount of work to convert, though it may take a little more (or possibly less) time depending on the speed of your encoder.
09:14:59LloreanI doubt the Gigabeat could decode MPEG-4 at 512x384 and scale to 320x240
09:15:13markunThe Gigaeat S?
09:15:16LloreanOh, the S
09:15:27LloreanIt *might* but it's iffy I think
09:15:38markunI believe the i.mx31 has special video hardware
09:15:45LloreanAh, well if you can access that, then sure
09:17:20GodEater_that would be nice - our first dap with h/w accelerated movie playback
09:17:54scorche`once again, assuming we can access it =)
09:18:19scorche`and someone writes the S-specific code

09:33:33n1shmm, does the antiskip buffer thingy make sense for any flash targets?
09:33:57GodEater_none at all as far as I can see
09:34:17GodEater_if you're shaking your DAP so hard the electrons in it are jiggling, then you've got bigger problems than skipping music
09:34:25n1s:-)
09:34:47GodEater_like possibly the event horizon you're crossing...
09:34:48*scorche` throws a flash chip into a pool to see if it will "skip"
09:35:45*GodEater_ notes no-one answered his earlier question, and assumes therefore that the answer is "no"
09:36:03amiconnn1s: It does not, and iirc the Ondio didn't have it (for exactly that reason) before JdGordon's settings rework
09:36:41scorche`GodEater_: i cant see why you cant...(i was thinking of a way to say that soundly without a number of negatives)
09:37:07n1samiconn: the reason I'm asking is that apparently the langv2 cleanup patch removes it for ondio, but I think that should be a separate change, which I will do now
09:37:38amiconnpixelma had problems when trying that yesterday
09:38:01amiconn(_with_ the langv2 patch applied)
09:38:04n1samiconn: yes, I read her reply in the tracker
09:38:30n1sso sould I introduce a HAVE_FLASH_STORAGE or something?
09:38:57n1sor CONFIG_STORAGE = FLASH, maybe
09:38:58amiconnYes, probably
09:39:10amiconnBut checking for that might be difficult
09:39:21B4gderthe server list of "old" daily builds now also include map file zips
09:39:30amiconnThe Ondio sets HAVE_MMC, and the Sansa and iFP also have their own definitions
09:39:39B4gderwhich could be useful to track down addresses reported in bug reports etc
09:40:06amiconnBut the Nano, while being a flash target, uses a flash chip that's controlled by ATA commands and hence uses the standard ATA driver
09:40:23GodEater_scorche`: well how is that done in the viewers.config then ?
09:40:45n1samiconn: I meant put HAVE_FLASH_STORAGE in the config*.h files for those targets to make the check simpler
09:41:07scorche`GodEater_: oh...i was thinking code-wise
09:41:27Lloreanamiconn: Maybe something like NO_SPINUP ?
09:41:43GodEater_scorche`: I've already done that bit - what I want now is some way of stopping rockbox launching my plugin on files which don't match my explicit file name
09:42:07GodEater_although I guess I could just silently exit again
09:42:18amiconnn1s: Hmm... maybe that makes sense. Should be set for the sim then as well

09:43:47amiconnHmm, the hack in ata.c is another hint towards the recent nano problem
09:44:04peturB4gder: it would be nice to have a list of committers somewhere, I find myself using ohloh to look up if somebody already has access or not (I tend to forget a lot - bad memory)
09:44:10GodEater_scorche`: doesn't matter. Bagder has decreed you're now known as commiter#55
09:44:24amiconnB4gder: Do you know enough about ATA so you could answer questions about the init process, or do I have to wait for LinusN?
09:44:32*scorche` doesnt quite get GodEater_
09:44:41*amiconn also wonders where LinusN disappeared...

09:46:02peturB4gder: thanks!
09:46:08amiconnThat also defines the driver iirc (like HAVE_MMC on Ondio)
09:46:19amiconnSome code parts depend on HAVE_MMC

10:05:47pondlifeSo it seems to be related to the Apply flash loader version? Or is that just a theory?

10:09:58pondlifeSo is it hardware revisions? :(
10:10:02amiconnBut the problem might be related to the factory installed flash version, as that may depend on the production batch

10:43:09B4gderright, but people going for a port to c200 might need e200tool at times... :-)

10:43:51B4gdergunluva: to do what?

10:44:18B4gderindeed
10:44:38gunluvaTo reset my c200.

11:16:06B4gderI've been pondering if setjmp/longjmp could be used for it

11:33:24pondlifeTrue

11:33:48B4gderyou mean the 10 second interval?

11:33:58B4gderyeah

11:34:26amiconnThe 10 seconds might put quite some load on the server, especially if the firefox bug hits which makes it reload the whole page including images

11:36:35pondlifeI mean now the old build is preserved, you don't see the table growing like you used to.
11:36:40B4gderah, no not before the build is done
11:36:42amiconn'true' forces a reload
11:37:05B4gderpondlife: they're no longer removed before the build so the old zips are still present until overwritten by the new one
11:37:06amiconnwindow.location.reload() is a non-forced reload

11:37:49pondlifeB4gder: Yes, so no need to do *any* reload until the build completes...?
11:37:52amiconnB4gder: Btw, I find it irritating that at the time the script does its last reload, the delta table is not yet updated
11:38:09B4gderpondlife: well, now there's a rev number added so you can in fact see them change when the new zips fly in...
11:38:15amiconnSo I have to update once more anyway
11:38:20pondlifeB4gder: Ah, gotcha
11:38:37bluebrotherhow about adding the release numbers to the size table as well?
11:38:39amiconnwindow.location.reload explained (in German): http://de.selfhtml.org/javascript/objekte/location.htm#reload
11:41:18B4gderI read plenty explanations
11:42:08scorche`while we pick on tables on the site, is it reasonable to have (on /irc) links for or links to switch the table to link to viewraw without going to the .pl first?
11:42:11B4gderbluebrother: ah, yes I can do that now when I get the rev number... I'll start logging the rev number in the size dumps

11:43:28jhMikeSamiconn: hello. around now.
11:47:41scorche`bluebrother: re rbutil.php, once i get off of vacation, i will hurry to fix a few things and implement a few back-end changes, then commit...would you like the php files now to start working on that though?
11:47:44jhMikeSabout 13h late :)
11:48:29bluebrotherscorche`: I could do that and implement it the same time in rbutil −− so if you have the files at hand it would be nice.
11:48:30B4gderany suggestion on how to provide the rev numbers for daily builds? I mean, should I make them available on the download mirrors as files somehow?
11:48:46bluebrotherotoh there is enough other stuff to do, so no hurry
11:49:00B4gderlike I could make simple files named "date-$date-is-rev-$rev" or whatever
11:49:15scorche`bluebrother: it is just transferring a few files atm, so i am fine with that =)
11:49:15bluebrotherB4gder: can you create symlinks on the mirrors?
11:49:26B4gderI'm not sure
11:49:30bluebrotherscorche`: great.
11:49:46B4gderstill, the order is date to a rev and we stored the builds on dates
11:49:49scorche`are you able to receive DDC?
11:50:03bluebrothernot sure −− I'm behind a NAT
11:50:19B4gderreceiving DCC is fine behind nats
11:50:36B4gder(the connect procedure is the reverse to what you'd expect)
11:50:39bluebrotherwell, I actually never tried with this setup
11:52:16scorche`bluebrother: well, i can give it to you now, but i will be changing a few things in it...(mainly a few vars and organization of)
11:52:52bluebrotheranything that would make it hard to merge later?
11:53:03scorche`not too hard
11:53:19bluebrotherok. Then let's just try and feel the pain later on ;-)
11:53:31scorche`i am not at home, so it may not like me even sending the file...
11:53:44linuxstbB4gder: Isn't there a "build-info" or similar file already available with details of the daily builds?
11:53:49bluebrotheryou could also email it to me
11:54:03scorche`can you PM me the address?
11:54:14amiconnjhMikeS: What would be needed to run the pp emu? And is it possible to log accesses to certain register ranges and where they came from?
11:54:14B4gderlinuxstb: there is, but that keeps the info only for the most recent build
11:54:28amiconnAlso, which PP model(s) can be emulated, and what other hardware?
11:54:51linuxstbB4gder: Could you just extend that?
11:55:12B4gderlemme see what I can do...
11:55:14jhMikeSamiconn: you need a partition dump from a sansa. it does log register access and is supposed to log the code that is running.
11:55:38amiconnHmm, I'd want to use it to run an ipod firmware...
11:55:44amiconn(or other PP target with ATA)
11:55:47jhMikeSI also suspect it could be adapted to run like another device but it's somewhat hard-coded atm.

12:01:52jhMikeShmmm...a bug reported with the e200 wheel suggests to me it could be sooner. hmmm.
12:02:01scorche`B4gder: did you see what i said about the irc page?
12:02:06B4gderno
12:02:25scorche`while we pick on tables on the site, is it reasonable to have (on /irc) links for or links to switch the table to link to viewraw without going to the .pl first?
12:02:40pixelman1s: will try soon... just a note about the anti-skip setting: when I went through english.lang for the langV2 patch earlier this year, amiconn told me that anti-skip _might be_ usefull on swcodec flash players for crossfade. That's why I only excluded it for Ondio that time... not sure, someone should try (?). And as soon as there is a conclusion, we'd need to adapt the manuals btw.
12:03:06B4gderscorche`: ah, sure
12:03:37linuxstbscorche`: You also prefer the plain text files?
12:03:59scorche`many times, yes....the .pl is quite slow at times
12:04:15scorche`especially compared to the instantness of the text files

12:05:46scorche`B4gder: i meant for all of the archived ones as well

12:15:43jhMikeSyou took libmad code out of iram on pp502x?
12:15:52linuxstbYes.
12:16:04linuxstbWhy should that cause problems?
12:17:04preglowman, dircache is failing a lot for me these days
12:17:17jhMikeSI don't know if it is the problem but if there were some cache releated issue to it since the code is now is cached memory, it might.

12:37:07TiMiD[FD]now it isn't that systematic
12:37:23preglownah, it's not really consistent
12:37:30TiMiD[FD]same with me now
12:37:45TiMiD[FD]but at that time I could reproduce it one launch on 2
12:38:54TiMiD[FD]would be interresting to do some tegression tests to track the problem
12:39:22TiMiD[FD]because that used to work pretty well before
12:40:20TiMiD[FD]by the way would it be possible for me to get some rights on the tracker ?

12:52:09*GodEater_ struggles to remember what GSOC project No. 4 is
12:52:13linuxstbUSB
12:52:21GodEater_oh yeah
12:52:25GodEater_no idea how that's going either
12:52:30linuxstbObviously the students are all too busy working on their projects to come to IRC to chat about them...
12:52:35GodEater_obviously
12:52:55aliaskUSB is the one I anticipate most of all. Mainly because the Gigabeat S port relies on it.
12:53:13linuxstbAnd that's the real iMX.31?
12:53:17GodEater_relies on it how ?
12:53:38linuxstbYou won't be able to dual-boot?
12:53:41aliaskWell, at the moment there isn't any way to get a rockbox.gigabeat on to the player
12:53:54markunGodEater_: I got an email from Ozgur today
12:53:57linuxstbAh, the original firmware doesn't give you a UMS mode?
12:54:00aliaskNope
12:54:08linuxstbWhat about some kind of "data" mode?
12:54:08GodEater_ewww - so how do you get code to run on it then ?
12:54:19aliaskThe OF is shocking, dual booting will NOT be a priority
12:54:29linuxstbI thought MTP allowed storage of datafiles/
12:54:41markunGodEater_: "So I have been working busily on those requests and I will continue until tomorrow evening. Then I will again have more time for GSOC until August 7th."
12:54:44aliaskPerhaps it does, but it's obfuscated
12:54:55aliaskI've never actually thought of that to be honest
12:55:09linuxstbBut that's also a pain if you're not using Windows...
12:55:17aliaskYes. Which I'm not.
12:55:29markunnot not using? :)

13:08:42linuxstbWhat's he actually doing? Is the first step a plugin?

13:20:24 Join Siltaar [0] (n=Siltaar@reverse-52.fdn.fr)
13:20:44linuxstbB4gder: Is the build countdown reliant on the user's clock?
13:21:12B4gderyes, since it sets a target ETA and counts down to that
13:21:24B4gderthe target time being set by the server
13:21:39B4gderso if the client diff from that, the delta time is wrong
13:22:06peturI don't have a good feeling about the USB gsoc project atm, communicating with austriancoder is very troublesome, haven't heard of him in 12 days :(
13:22:39peturGoogle must have payed....
13:22:39linuxstbB4gder: Couldn't you just tell the client "x seconds from now" ?
13:23:05B4gderlinuxstb: I guess I could, but then I'd need to decipher and rewrite the javascript I got ;-)
13:23:14linuxstb;) If I'm ever bored...
13:23:31B4gderand btw, "from now" doesn't work
13:23:35B4gdersince the page can be reloaded
13:23:49B4gderyou don't want the countdown to restart then
13:23:49preglowpetur: how's the progress anyway?
13:24:00peturnot working yet
13:24:10preglowyeah, but is there potential?
13:24:23peturand imho we should have been further
13:24:33linuxstbB4gder: I don't understand... Why should it restart? Shouldn't it just correct itself?
13:24:48peturpreglow: yes, if he gets his act together and get active a bit more
13:24:51B4gderlinuxstb: not if the HTML would say "done in N seconds"
13:25:02B4gderlinuxstb: since that would be N seconds from... when?
13:25:14preglowpetur: btw, i've had tripel karmeliet now!
13:25:18preglowit's great
13:25:21XavierGrIMHO all GSOC projects (except WMA) are rather late in development :\
13:25:22peturhmmm
13:25:29*petur gets thirsty
13:25:33linuxstbB4gder: The html wouldn't say "N seconds", the javascript would display the time dynamically.
13:25:52preglowXavierGr: well, i think they should at least have commited something by now
13:25:58XavierGrindeed
13:26:01linuxstbSo when the page is loaded, it contains a variable with the countdown time. The javascript adds that to the user's current time to display the ETA
13:26:06preglowit's hard to tell if they're late or not if they don't
13:26:10B4gderlinuxstb: yes, but when you manually reload the page before the countdown is completed, it'd still say "N seconds"...
13:26:31peturwe should have put forward deadlines before the start of gsoc
13:26:39peturnow it's a bit late
13:26:41preglowyeah
13:26:58XavierGrlet's hope that we will have an end result anyway...
13:27:12preglowat least we have wma :P
13:27:33XavierGryeah at last there is no reason to have the OF on H100 series :D
13:27:37peturwell if they fail to deliver, I say we fail them (no money from google)
13:27:38linuxstbpetur: It's not too late to say something like "if you don't achieve X, Y and Z before the end of the SoC, you will get an unfavourable report from us."
13:28:03linuxstb(there's still a fair amount of time between now and the end of the summer...)
13:28:20peturlinuxstb: the problem is that google is black/white, you either pass or fail them
13:28:27B4gderyeah, failing to deliver at least partly working code is indeed not too "favourable" in my view
13:28:50linuxstbpetur: Then we make it black/white - if they don't deliver then we fail them...
13:29:01peturthat I would do anyway
13:29:21linuxstbOr at least don't make sufficient effort to deliver...
13:30:00B4gderexactly, we need to take our role seriously and responsibly so that we might be able to take on this in the future as well
13:30:50preglowit's a learning experience anyway, we'll have a better idea what to expect the next time around
13:30:55B4gderindeed
13:31:09peturI've been meaning to discuss some things in private with the other mentors, but the committers ML is not ok because the students are on there too (or most of them)
13:31:14preglowand perhaps even have some guidelines in place
13:31:33preglowhow many of us are here now?
13:31:35preglowthree out of four?
13:31:38petur4
13:31:47preglowthen why don't we just go #mentor-lol or something?
13:31:56peturoh you mean here
13:32:02preglowindeed :>
13:32:16*petur kicks markun awake
13:32:25linuxstbDoes anyone have any idea how many hours students are supposed to be devoting to their SoC work? Is it intended to be a full-time job?
13:32:35preglowfull-time-ish
13:32:49peturI see it as a payed job
13:33:52preglowi really just see it as open-source coding with pay and a requirement to deliver
13:34:04preglowwhich means you do what you have to do to get things done your own way
13:34:13preglowyou should communicate, of course
13:34:39B4gderhttp://build.rockbox.org/cvsmod/build-info now contains the rev number of the latest commit build

13:36:50B4gderI find it particularly strange in autriancoder's case since he's been involved in rockbox for quite some time before this

13:56:58linuxstbmarkun: Are you around?
13:57:40amiconnpreglow: Speaking about wma - do you think it's possible to emac'ify the mdct functions like you did with the libmad ones?
13:58:16amiconnIt seems to me that wma doesn't have much different cpu power requirements than mp3 - but on coldfire libmad is way faster than libwma
13:58:18markunlinuxstb: a bit
13:58:54linuxstbIs IRAM faked in the gigabeat .lds files?
13:59:26preglowamiconn: not in the same way, no
13:59:27amiconnlinuxstb: The Ixxx_ATTR macros are supposed to evaluate to nothing when iram shouldn't be used
13:59:37preglowamiconn: the mpeg mdct is fixed size, which makes it easier to asm optimise
13:59:39amiconnSo no need to fake something...
13:59:44linuxstbamiconn: I know...
13:59:55preglowamiconn: wma does multiple sizes. still possible, but a bigger job
14:00
14:00:07linuxstbamiconn: But my understanding of the .lds is that it _is_ faked for the gigabeat.
14:00:21amiconnpreglow: Iirc saratoga said that wma also uses fixed size mdct, just not only one
14:00:22preglowwhy would you fake that?
14:00:52preglowoh? my understanding is that ffmpeg uses pre-proc -> fft -> post-proc for mdcts
14:00:58linuxstbI'm guessing a quick hack at the start of the port which was never fixed...
14:00:58preglowand the fft is most certainly just one routine

14:23:15GodEater_I wish just for once I'd get my pointer math right first time. <sigh>
14:25:35linuxstbGodEater: To answer your question from about 4 hours ago - why do you want to restrict your viewer to one .link file?
14:26:52linuxstbIt's not a viewer then - it's a plugin with a config file...
14:28:01GodEater_linuxstb: I wanted to make it easy to launch the plugin, so it's supposed to run when you select you shortcuts.link file in the root of the player
14:28:16GodEater_linuxstb: but I also wanted to avoid having the possibility of self referential .link files
14:28:59GodEater_so I just wanted the plugin to launch into it's selection mode when you select the shortcuts.link file
14:29:05 Quit webguest85 ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
14:29:20GodEater_and any other call to the plugin with a file argument is interpreted as the user wanting to add the file to the shortcuts list
14:29:43 Join webguest85 [0] (i=c0231115@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-312f1ace2ee6fc11)
14:29:45GodEater_unfortunately the side effect of this is clicking on any other .link file which are user created, means they get added into the shortcuts.link file
14:30:11linuxstbCan't you just check the name of the file, and react appropriately?
14:30:33GodEater_what is appropriate action for another .link file though ?
14:30:54GodEater_add it to the "main" one, or use it as another list of shortcuts ?
14:32:20linuxstbYes, I would say that if you open a .link file, you're viewing that list of shortcuts. If you open any other kind of file, you're adding it to the standard .link file.
14:32:21GodEater_Llorean seemed to think it was a good idea to have all the shortcuts in only one place
14:32:58GodEater_that would seem to go against what Llorean advised however
14:33:00linuxstbThere's no harm in allowing a user to create multiple .link files if they so wish.
14:33:04linuxstb(IMO)
14:33:33linuxstbI can't see what problems it could cause.
14:33:54GodEater_well it causes me all sort of issues - since I'll pretty much have to rewrite the plugin =.
14:34:16GodEater_it was designed around only one place to store the shortcuts
14:35:53*linuxstb reads the source...
14:36:35GodEater_I can't think how to make it create anything other than a default link file either, not and keep it simple (i.e. no text editor functions)
14:37:40linuxstbI'm not suggesting you let users add files to other .link files - just view them.
14:38:03linuxstbI agree that would complicate things a lot and not be worthwhile.
14:38:10GodEater_well that would be fairly trivial then I suppose
14:38:28linuxstbBut if a user has (manually, or by renaming shortcuts.link) created another .link file, I can't see why they wouldn't be allowed to view it.
14:39:27GodEater_if Llorean shouts at me because of it I'm blaming you :)
14:40:28linuxstbLooking at your code, did you try to simply call "opendir" on the parameter? If that succeeds, then the parameter is a directory.
14:40:50GodEater_no - ripped the "is it a dir?" code straight from the properties plugin
14:42:06GodEater_I'll change it - your way is both simpler and more obvious
14:42:10linuxstbDo you even still need to care?
14:42:20GodEater_about what ?
14:42:31linuxstbWhether the parameter is a file or a dir.
14:42:44linuxstbI thought you could now add both to the list?
14:42:44GodEater_yes - I need to know whether to write a trailing "/" or not
14:42:47 Quit webguest85 ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
14:42:59GodEater_if you don't the filetree ends up "on" the directory, rather than "in" it
14:43:13linuxstbMaybe the user wants that...
14:43:26*GodEater_ looks for a gun to shoot at linuxstb
14:43:36*linuxstb should probably stop talking as he'll never use this plugin anyway ;)
14:43:44GodEater_it wasn't the way I interpreted the feature request
14:43:52linuxstbDoing what the customer asks for?
14:44:07linuxstbThat never works...

15:08:23linuxstbFra: That's the first thing you should do - they should come with the necessary patching tools.
15:08:51linuxstbFra: And you should try and build a clean version of Rockbox first, and then try to build versions with patches applied.

15:13:26JdGordonso they are all done with 90s+ still to go?
15:13:54B4gderyou mean 90s left of the countdown?
15:14:01JdGordonyeah
15:14:05B4gderthe countdown is just a guess
15:14:53B4gderbased on a moving average for the latest builds
15:15:03B4gderthe build time still varies a lot
15:16:13amiconnSure, it depends on how much has to be rebuilt (due to ccache)
15:16:36 Quit Fra ("www.TuttoIRC.it mIRC 6.21 in Italiano by TuttoIRC & ^DaNGeR^")
15:16:36B4gderyes, and quite a lot on various local circumstances for each server
15:16:40amiconnIt takes rather long when a central header file was changed (worst case probably being config.h)
15:16:47JdGordonok, it just surprosed me that all the builds said the enw version already, might have been because I was just too slow
15:16:47B4gderand which server that gets to send the biggest files back
15:17:29amiconnBut why does the build page still show the counter when all builds are actually done?
15:17:44B4gderhow would it know that they are done?
15:17:44amiconnI mean when entering the page, or refreshing manually
15:17:59B4gderno, it doesn't
15:18:17amiconnSo what did JdGordon experience, then?
15:18:41JdGordonI guess it doesnt refresh untill the couter is finished
15:18:42B4gderuhm
15:19:01B4gderit doesn't refresh until the counter reaches ETA, no
15:19:09amiconnJdGordon: Yes, it doesn't refresh by itself then, but then you should at least see _one_ old revision .zip
15:19:12B4gderand then it does it every 30 seconds (since a while back, used to be every 10)
15:19:32amiconnbr
15:19:36amiconnoops

15:40:39amiconn(as a trailing '?' isn't allowed in an url)
15:41:01JdGordonI tihnk we need to decide on a cutoff date for old patches where unless it still actually patches correctly it should be closed
15:41:33JdGordonseems Konversation is smart also and ignores the ?
15:41:35linuxstbJdGordon: I don't think we can make a strict rule - it depends how much that particular part of Rockbox has changed, or if similar features have been implemented since that patch.

16:25:14linuxstbYes, I'm sure I remember dan_a saying it wasn't implemented.

17:03:35DerPapstit even says that one can extract the bootloader...
17:03:54linuxstb_Well, the bootloader is everything else...
17:04:49linuxstb_There is a simple directory at the end of flash listing the available images - with offsets, lengths and checksums, similar to the content of the firmware partition directory on disk.
17:05:15DerPapstoh
17:05:30linuxstb_So it seems the main bootloader does what it does, and then either loads the firmware from disk, or loads one of the "apps" in flash.

17:32:10linuxstb_GodEater_: There's nothing formal... Basically it needs to be generally accepted (i.e. no-one shouts at you in IRC), and a dev needs to take an interest.

17:41:06linuxstb_It's also full of nasty custom menus... (or at least, used to be)
17:41:15jhMikeSI'm allowing it now. I think I want to use interrupts for task switching.
17:41:30amiconnI wouldn't want to have two plugins for the same purpose, split by target
17:41:43amiconnjhMikeS: hmm?
17:42:07jhMikeSit would simplify the scheduler and be much better for dual core setup
17:42:09amiconnWe don't want preemptive multithreading
17:42:18jhMikeSthat's another subject
17:42:29jhMikeSthough I don't understand the object to it.
17:42:36jhMikeS*objection
17:42:52amiconnIt requires _a lot_ more precautions than cooperative scheduling
17:43:25amiconnCurrently a thread can rely on not being interrupted at an arbitrary position
17:43:27jhMikeSa few but this dual core will basically intro
17:43:43amiconnYes, but there are other targets than just PP
17:43:57jhMikeSbut it can't. it really simplifies nothing at all unless you can count on the code you call never yielding.
17:44:10amiconnyes, exactly
17:44:24jhMikeSrockbox is too complex to count on that
17:44:52amiconnWith premptive threading, you can't even rely on not eing interrupted when not calling any subroutine at all...

17:46:07jhMikeSmost of the code that runs on multiple threads now is full of holes.
17:47:37jhMikeSexactly the same way it would if it were preemptive but instead of a timer doing it, the call to a task switching function causes the interrupt
17:48:04amiconnAnd why is that better than just letting yield() do the work?
17:48:13amiconnSounds like more overhead for nothing to me...

17:50:08jhMikeSI can't see where threre's really any overhead at all since the return from the handler would load the new context...not much different than now.

17:51:42jhMikeSI'm wondering a bit about that. Does the CPU on say coldfire store the context or does the service routine?
17:51:50amiconnThere were times when the scheduler was simple, so that an average rockbox coder could understand it, and it worked reliably...
17:52:22jhMikeSI think it need to catch up to more advanced devices.

17:53:20*amiconn doesn't see the need for that
17:53:36amiconnYes, dual core might be a problem
17:53:56amiconnColdfire saves the status register and the pc on the stack on interrupt

17:56:02jhMikeSit's not even safe to just start a new thread on the COP from the CPU since it messes with data the COP is changing.

17:58:32amiconnI still don't understand the need for sw ints...
17:58:34jhMikeSoverhead is really minor then since the prologue stores the context from the current task, and the epilogue loads for the next.

18:02:34jhMikeSthe biggest concern is device access really. plugins, UI code and such probably wouldn't be much different if at all.
18:03:13amiconnyes
18:03:40amiconnAnd I quite like being able to do low level stuff without locking each and every tiny step
18:03:53amiconnI wouldn't be able to follow it, I think :\
18:05:06jhMikeSthere's a crutch aspect to cooperative that when something that didn't yield suddenly starts to, the code falls apart. at least it would have to be secure from the start.
18:05:25amiconnYes, with way more overhead than now
18:06:11jhMikeSthat's the thing, a mutex should only force a task switch on block otherwise it's negligable really.
18:06:39amiconnYou have to watch for obscure deadlock situations etc...
18:06:48amiconnThe equivalent of arm's swi instruction on coldfire would be trap, on SH it would be trapa
18:06:52jhMikeSblah, those can still happen

18:11:37amiconntas reads a byte from memory, and sets the t flag if that byte was zero. It also sets the MSB of the memory byte in the same operation

18:12:06jhMikeSjust like bset.l
18:12:19amiconnsimilar
18:12:27amiconnIt can only set one bit (the msb)

20:27:39amiconnIf it changes constantly both with and without the charger, the cycle might be different
20:27:55LloreanThe only thing that doesn't cover is "automatically executing single-line link files"
20:28:26GodEaterLlorean: it's a bit more involved than that, but it shouldn't be *too* hard
20:28:46LloreanI thought you were earlier having trouble *not* having it works as a viewer for link files.
20:29:01GodEaterLlorean: it's registered as a viewer for all .link files
20:29:22GodEaterbut that simply means rockbox launches the plugin with the link file name as a parameter
20:29:51GodEaterwhich is effectively the same as launching it with the "Add to shortcuts" option in the context menu
20:30:00LloreanAaaaah
20:30:19GodEaterso I'll need to add some logic for testing if the file given as an argument has the .link extension
20:30:21LloreanSo it needs to check if the parameter is a link filename, and load it as a link file rather than adding.
20:30:25LloreanGotcha
20:30:27GodEaterexactly
20:31:03GodEaterwhich is why one of my testers ended up with "other" .link files just being added into the "main" one
20:31:33GodEaterto be honest, I'm not sure how much more I want to do to this until I get a feel for if it's wanted in svn or not
20:31:44LloreanStill, I think it'd be good to have it works as a generic viewer for .link files, since there's no real harm in that.
20:31:44LloreanThough by no means do you need to implement that.

21:08:11amiconnAfter installing the build, connect the ipod to the PC via firewire. Then enter 'View HW Info'. It should reboot into diskmode
21:08:29amiconnIf you enter 'View HW info' without firewire connected, it should display as normal
21:09:42amiconnIt should also not reboot when connected to the charger

21:34:10amiconnYes
21:34:22amiconnSo disable poweroff before
21:34:35DerPapstgood idea ;)
21:34:46*amiconn has it disabled on his G2 because it would just reboot otherwise
21:35:21GodEater__linuxstb: cos Llorean changed his mind!
21:35:50linuxstbGodEater__: I mean why is it a problem if a user wants to delete items in their own .link files?
21:36:15GodEater__because the delete function is hard wired to delete from the main shortcuts file
21:36:37rasherAny perl/shell gurus that can explain this: http://pastebin.ca/642153 (why the third execution of temp.pl gives "1" rather than "test" as output)
21:37:00GodEater__I figure the user has already gone to the trouble of manually creating a .link file with either the rockbox text editor (yuk), or on their PC
21:37:04rasher(genlang has this problem)
21:37:14GodEater__they aren't going to object to editing it again to remove a favourite they don't want any more
21:37:20linuxstbGodEater__: I assumed your plugin would load the shortcuts file into RAM, allow the user to either select one, or delete some, and then if the user has deleted some, write it back to disk (using the same filename)
21:38:16*GodEater__ fumbles for that gun again
21:38:32linuxstbIt's OK, I'll take preglow's advice now.
21:39:36GodEater__I'll be honest, it wasn't as much work getting it *loading* user files as I thought
21:39:38preglowyou might not want to mistake it for advice!
21:39:47GodEater__but the delete routine made me cry this afternoon
21:39:47linuxstbrasher: I don't know what the -s option does, but when you run "perl temp.pl" it's not using the -s option, but ./temp.pl is.

21:41:36rasherYes. The -s is exactly the problem (it enables some argument parsing)
21:41:37linuxstbYes, that's what I just said ;)

21:46:55rasherGodEater__, Thanks, but I found this already. Problem solved long ago
21:49:34DerPapstGodEater__: yet anouter idea for your plugin... somethin like a create option in its menu when you started it from the plugin browser. You select create new shortcut and then the browser opens, then you browse for the file/dir you want to link to and then you hold down select for a fiew seconds and the link is made :)
21:49:43*DerPapst runs far far away
21:50:36*DerPapst made some nice typos again (<−− shouting from far far away)
21:50:52GodEater__DerPapst: I think the way I came up with for creating / adding is better than that
21:51:01peturDerPapst: KISS please
21:51:05linuxstbamiconn: Which USB_* definitions are you talking about?
21:51:16linuxstbSYS_USB_* ?
21:51:17pixelman1s: you around?
21:51:29amiconnSYS_USB_CONNECTED, USB_IPODSTYLE, ... the whole thing
21:51:32DerPapstpetur: isn't that kiss (at least for the user to use it...)
21:51:55amiconnMaybe I should just pretend that firewire is a kind of USB....
21:52:16GodEater__DerPapst: that seems a long winded way to create a shortcut to me
21:52:16linuxstbI don't think it's a big issue - perhaps just leave it as it is for now...
21:52:35DerPapstGodEater__: hoe do you create them?
21:52:40GodEater__Long select on the file/dir and then choose "Add to shortcuts" seems easier to me
21:52:49DerPapstah
21:52:53GodEater__much quicker
21:52:54DerPapstindeed
21:53:12DerPapsti didn't know that is possibe ;)
21:53:13*GodEater__ thinks bluebrother may shoot him though for another entry in the context menu
21:53:29GodEater__DerPapst: you live and learn ;)
21:53:35DerPapsthe can't shoot that far :P
21:53:40DerPapstso no worries.
21:53:41linuxstbGodEater__: Does your plugin need to be a plugin? Would it be simpler to just keep it as a viewer only?
21:53:49DerPapstadd what ever you want to the menu :D
21:54:22GodEater__linuxstb: you know what our users are like for "where do I download X" when we've made it a viewer ;)
21:54:40GodEater__as far as I can see, it loses nothing for being a plugin too
21:54:41DerPapstheh
21:54:55DerPapsti wondered that to not long ago
21:54:56GodEater__if someone *wants* to navigate to it in the plugins menu, who am I to stop them ?
21:55:03DerPapstwith the midi plugin ;)
21:55:10*petur feels it's about time to store plugins in categories (folders) like demos, games, utilities
21:55:23DerPapstyes!
21:55:26*krazykit agrees
21:55:36GodEater__the plugin browser would need some work
21:55:37DerPapstand there is already a FS entry with a patch about that
21:55:42GodEater__it can't see folders at the moment
21:56:00amiconnWell, not filtering folders would be simple, but not a proper solution
21:56:04*GodEater__ thinks he's probably trying to teach petur to suck eggs though
21:56:09DerPapstbut there are some issues that i don't understand
21:56:25*petur looks at opened can or worms
21:56:32amiconnI'd want to browse 'Spiele', 'Anwendungen' etc, not 'Games', 'Applications'
21:56:49peturamiconn: yes
21:57:22GodEater__ah of course
21:57:35DerPapstnow i understand that issue again :)
21:58:29linuxstbWhy not just have subdirs in plugins, and have new menu options which open those subdirs instead of the main plugins directory?
21:58:44linuxstbThen those menu items can be localised.
21:58:49amiconnyes
21:59:09amiconnIt adds a few language strings though (unavoidable)
21:59:22linuxstbAlthough that doesn't solve the problem of the plugins themselves having English names...
21:59:38amiconntrue
21:59:42GodEater__if someone wants to put a definitive list of categories together, I might attempt that too - I think I could manage it
21:59:46amiconnThis random_folder_advance_config.rock should perhaps be a direct-load plugin then
22:00
22:00:07amiconn(like credits.rock already is)
22:00:08linuxstbI've thought about that - you mean a menu option which just runs that plugin?
22:00:37DerPapstGodEater__: there is one in that patch already
22:00:57amiconnlinuxstb: Yes, somewhere near the option to set folder advance to 'Random'
22:01:08amiconn(not that I would ever use it....)
22:01:59DerPapstcan't one do that in the plugin? e.g. in podzilla2 the module has a path where in the menu it shows up. and with a lanuage file you can chnage that.
22:02:00GodEater__DerPapst: FS# ?
22:02:12jhMikeSamiconn: pp5002 allows ldrb access to PROCESSOR_ID?
22:02:38DerPapsthttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5464?histring=plugins
22:04:19GodEater__DerPapst: that's not the approach just discussed, although it might be a nice place to start I suppose
22:04:39amiconnjhMikeS: I would think so, although the OF doesn't do it
22:05:02amiconnBut there are other places where the OF does long access and we do byte access
22:05:09amiconn(ata registers for instance)
22:05:24jhMikeSok
22:05:39DerPapstGodEater__: at least it contains the list you wanted to see ;)
22:05:40amiconnI didn't even try dualcore so I can't say for sure
22:05:53amiconnI want to get firewire handling in place, then sleep

22:45:47amiconnAnd I did a demanding test: running mandelbrot.rock while playing music
22:45:57BagderI was just surprise to see the "best project" have that many open bugs etc
22:46:00Bagdersurprised

23:06:41midgeywell, for some reason SDL refused to read files on the disc :-/
23:07:24linuxstbWhat has the file handling got to do with SDL?
23:07:53midgeyeh it probably didnt
23:08:20linuxstbHow did you fix it?
23:08:40midgeyinstalling a new version of sdl
23:09:02midgeywell, technically an old version

23:09:22linuxstbHave you tried installing qt on your Mac? (for rbutilqt)
23:09:39midgeyno, only on my linux computer
23:09:45midgeydoes it not work?
23:10:26linuxstbQt didn't compile for me. The make failed with errors about unknown object types (IIRC)
23:10:48*midgey tries

23:13:24DerPapstto firewire power + data or power only or data only?
23:13:38amiconnData only of course
23:13:47DerPapstnice thing :)
23:14:12amiconnThis will work for mini g1, mini g2, color and g4
23:14:34amiconnNow to write usb-pp5002.c which will do the job for g1..g3
23:14:49amiconn(except that it shouldn't be called "usb"...)
23:15:11linuxstbdiskmode?
23:15:30amiconnhmmm
23:16:00amiconnWell, for g3 it will also contain usb code, but that has to be written by someone else

23:20:31linuxstbWhat do you expect?
23:20:40*DerPapst wonders how to do a svn diff so new files are included in the diff file and old are removed...
23:21:00DerPapstlinuxstb: maybe no crashes... ;)
23:21:01jhMikeSthe spc codec to run the emulator on cop and the sample output to main
23:21:30jhMikeSor cpu rather
23:21:37jhMikeSthey'll run in parallel then
23:21:43linuxstbAh, you mean making a specific codec multi-threaded?

23:23:03linuxstbI understood "codec on two cores at once" to mean the same code running on both cores, which did indeed sound whacky...
23:23:56jhMikeSwell, if caching weren't an issue I probably would try that too
23:24:20linuxstbBut that's how I imagined Rockbox would make use of dual-core - specific CPU-intensive parts would be made to use the COP, rather than making Rockbox in general become multi-core friendly...
23:24:42jhMikeSsome parts should be
23:25:24jhMikeSlike pcm output should be started on the initiating core and such. perhaps allow disk I/O and some other limited access by the COP.
23:26:12*jhMikeS was never thinking full SMP

23:34:44 Quit EbErT ()
23:35:47DerPapstafter adding the file with svn add it didn't show up in the diff file and doing "diff file.c /dev/null > burrito.diff" has another syntax

23:37:06amiconnyeah, svn diff does a unified diff by default
23:37:29DerPapstah thanks
23:42:57linuxstbsvn add should work though...
23:43:58*linuxstb wonders what DerPapst is writing
23:44:02DerPapstit is svn add file.c or am i wrong?
23:44:42linuxstbThat's right.

23:58:05linuxstbYou could just commit it if you wanted - the only question is where in svn does it go? Either a new "utils" directory (gets my vote), or in tools.
23:58:51amiconnDerPapst: Would you prefer the firewire logo or usb logo one the G3? USB isn't detected atm anyway...
