#rockbox log for 2007-10-02

00:00:06Bagderruinedtwice: ok, I see
00:00:08ruinedtwiceI checked at the time and noted that the CRC "found" matched precisely a CRC value "advertised as expected" earlier in the scroll.
00:00:08chandlercBadger: if you can point me an some instructions of how to post real firmware dumps, i'm more than happy to
00:00:29chandlercI only have a classic, but i'd be willing to do any comparisons useful
00:00:33 Quit ompaul (Client Quit)
00:00:49chandlercsadly, while i do a great deal of programming in linux, i'm unfamiliar with reverse engineering, especially at the hardware level
00:00:52Bagderruinedtwice: the text output is meant to be displayed on error so in the second case the bootloader clearly thought something was wrong
00:01:24ruinedtwiceexcellent
00:01:25chandlerc(willing to learn if it helps, just pointing out)
00:01:52Bagderchandlerc: I can't tell since I don't know much about that player
00:03:29*pixelma notices that there is no "c200" category in the tracker yet
00:03:44maxkelleyI've noticed such as well.
00:03:46Bagderme fix
00:04:11maxkelleyheh.
00:04:20ruinedtwiceI think I'll take a chance and just toss in a terse precis of the recovery sequences I discovered for each of the above described problems (even though I know that there's a long thread on the forum about the first problem).
00:04:23maxkelleyme fix! (takes out caveman club)
00:04:31markunBagder: was there a firmware dump for the nano 3g?
00:04:35ruinedtwice(shout me down quick, or I'll go ahead)
00:04:40Bagdernot that I've seen

00:06:17BagderMrH's pretty much done with the sansa now, isn't he? ;-)
00:06:23chandlerci would be willing to send one around January in all likelihood
00:06:31peturthere was this crypto guy some time ago asking for a bootrom dump...
00:06:42Bagderah yes
00:06:43 Quit Rob222241 ()
00:06:53chandlercand i'll provide any dumps people want if they can give me some pointers on what they want
00:06:53markunBagder: you can at least ask him if he's interested
00:07:10ruinedtwiceFor the first problem, first I d removed the back plate on the unit and momentarily disconnected the battery, confirmed that Rockbox booted as expected, and then re-attempted to boot OF seeking duplication of the anomally (which occured I'm guessing to no-one's surprise).
00:07:13Bagderbut seriously, I assume public key crypto and that means hard as hell to crack
00:07:25 Join chrisjs169|brb [0] (n=jack@pool-71-114-128-205.hrbgpa.dsl-w.verizon.net)
00:07:43chrisjs169|brbNice - FS7487 is working
00:07:52Bagder... or rather brute-force factoring
00:07:59chandlercBagder: have to be done by making (guesses sadly) at both the source and the decryption chip, and then brute force from there
00:08:25maxkelleychandlerc: do you have bodyguards to prevent being eaten by steve jobs?
00:08:29pSXAuthorthere is no _way_ you are going to brute force it if its done correctly (ie. a digest hash)
00:08:34ruinedtwiceNext I established a recovery mode connection following the standard protocol and ported the mi4 file for 1.02.18a, followed by disconnection and reboot to OF mode without rockbox (again, I'm guessing to no one's surprise).
00:08:35chandlercmaxkelley: no, but i'm not too worried
00:08:40preglowBagder: i'd expect that too
00:08:55preglowBagder: i'm really quite sure we'll need to hack the hardware on this one to find out anything at all
00:09:00chandlercmaxkelley: if need be, i've got some friends i could mail my ipod to and have them do it... ;] they have much less to be worried about
00:09:01scorche|workwe could always try and contact those quantum computing guys...
00:09:08preglowlogic analyzer action
00:09:09maxkelleyheh.
00:09:11pSXAuthoreven quantum computing won't help
00:09:13Bagderpreglow: quite likely yes
00:09:14ruinedtwiceok so much for obvious reduncancy, now for the second not yet known to me to be commonplace failure.
00:09:19pSXAuthorit only gives a quadratic speedup
00:09:31BagderI hear there are russian and chinese companies doing that stuff ;-)
00:09:31pSXAuthor(and that only in theory ;)
00:09:40chandlercpreglow: anyone who has the know-how to do that given the hardware?
00:09:55maxkelleywe'll create a RockboxIpodEncryptionCracking@Home association.
00:10:06chandlerchahaha
00:10:13preglowchandlerc: well, i would, as would other people in here, but it's still lots of work
00:10:16Bagderyeah, and in two bazillion trillion years... we've reached 0.02%
00:10:17pSXAuthorso, for example for the 360 signed exes it might reduce the time from 100000000years to 10000years ;p
00:10:19pSXAuthorbig deal ;)
00:10:20sin613so long as i don't have to buy an ipod to pacticipate
00:10:27sin613*participate
00:10:32preglowchandlerc: even doing that seems to be hard, apple have glued the chips to the board with epoxy

00:10:46maxkelleydon't we all <3 epoxy :)
00:11:07preglowyeah, they really seem to have jumped through hoops to lock us out on this one
00:11:08pSXAuthoryou might be able to read the boot rom with jtag if it exists
00:11:10chandlercpreglow: well, i have a (nearly) free ipod classic, and in 3 months or so, i would be willing to purchase hardware for people to experiment with if that helps...
00:11:15 Quit petur ("Zzzzz")
00:11:23preglowchandlerc: a logic analyzer isn't cheap :P
00:11:30scorche|workpreglow: well, there still is the 2nd gen nano too..
00:11:37chandlercpreglow: hardware being the ipods... ;]
00:11:41preglowhehe
00:11:43chandlercpreglow: and how not-cheap are we talking about?
00:11:46pSXAuthorpreglow: actually - you can buy very good cheap logic analysers these days
00:12:01pSXAuthorfor about $200 you can get really nice ones that attach via usb to a pc
00:12:05preglowchandlerc: easily 5000++ euro
00:12:10pSXAuthornah
00:12:13preglowthat's for good stuff, though
00:12:20chandlercsee, $200 is a possibility
00:12:22chandlerc;]
00:12:24chandlerc5000...
00:12:38ruinedtwiceIn the second case, porting 1.02.18a via recovery mode failed, as the device "ignored" the attemp, both with and without the rom file, neither "taking" the installation, nor doing anything new and worse.
00:12:39chandlercI just want the very nice hardware of the ipod w/o the very annoying software...
00:12:54pSXAuthorcheap ones don't have massive buffers... but in all seriousness - if you need a large buffer its probably going to be too difficult anyway
00:13:17preglowyeah, perhaps it has jtag
00:13:20chandlercpSXAuthor: link? just for referencing
00:13:21pSXAuthoranyway: i would try to attack it via jtag first... its possible you will be able to read the boot rom
00:13:22scorche|workchandlerc: then you shouldnt have bought a classic ;)
00:13:23chrisjs169|brbruinedtwice, what? i don't feel like looking back up ;)
00:13:30preglowif they went to all this trouble then included jtag, though...
00:13:38chandlercscorche|work: i ordered a video... tehy "upgraded" me for free... bastards
00:13:52maxkelleyI have a grand idea for a new port: Those musical greeting cards! I have a pcb sitting in front of me right now! We can play up to 15 seconds of tin-can quality music! and with flac support, it could be decreased to as far as 0.000001 second!
00:13:53pSXAuthorpretty much ALL consumer electronic devices have jtag... it is used for testing during manufacturing
00:14:02scorche|worksell the classic, then buy a cheaper video....money made + rockbox
00:14:03ruinedtwiceAt this point I noodled around the periphery of the e200tool realm of the damned, partially downloading the linux ISO and printing out some of the half-a-hope dream commentaries of lost souls.
00:14:25chandlercscorche|work: thats actually what i'm looking at doing if there isn't hope for breaking it
00:14:33maxkelleyruinedtwice: I don't think anyone's keeping track of your testimonials.
00:14:38pSXAuthorif its based on a common chipset (eg pp) then the jtag interface may even be documented ;p
00:14:44chandlercscorche|work: i'd love to keep the classic because its thinner / better battery, but .... no rockbox
00:14:55scorche|workheh...PP...documented...
00:15:25ruinedtwicethat's ok maxkelley, I'm just tossing the descriptions into the log so they can be found via text-search later. I'm confident that they can be of use to someone (even if not here, now, today).
00:15:50preglowit annoys me no one has tried to use the e200 dev boards we have for jtagging yet
00:15:54Bagderruinedtwice: but isn't all this already covered in the unbrick wiki page?
00:15:56maxkelleyruinedtwice: Ah, ok.
00:16:31ruinedtwiceBadger I'm confident that the recovery I "discovered" in the second case is not described in the unbrick wiki page.
00:16:33rasherpreglow: why is that, again?
00:16:48preglowrasher: i have no idea
00:16:53rasherYou'd think it'd be like keeping kids from opening their christmas presents
00:16:57preglowno one has asked for them
00:17:02sin613would something like http://nsa.unaligned.org/ be of much use for cracking firmware encryption?
00:17:13ruinedtwiceI might be wrong, but I'll just go ahead and toss it in here...

00:23:38ruinedtwiceright, I was planning to get and mount the linux ISO and give it a whirl, but I stumbled upon a way to get back to base making it a moot point.
00:24:07krazykityou can't just mount the linux iso. you actually have to burn it to a cd and boot from that cd

00:26:04pixelmaoops, thanks for the heads up :)
00:26:17ruinedtwicekrazykit, the heady atmosphere of informality inspired me to imply "burn onto cd and boot from that" by the phrase "get and mount". Good for you, though, to toss in that snippet of specificity. It's bound to be useful to someone, at least in principle.

01:31:26Falco98is "config.cfg" a special system file?

01:32:08Falco98is it something generated by rockbox itself? or is it a user-saved config file?

01:35:54Falco98actually, i think nvram.bin and config.cfg have been getting cross-linked somehow
01:35:57n1sprobably that wasn't written correctly on shutdown
01:36:20Falco98i saved the files in an old build when it went bad, and the contents of config.cfg were the binary jumble you'd expect in nvram.bin
01:36:30Lars_G_wont rbox remember the last file you saved conf to and use it? maybe at some point you wrote the config on nvram.bin and it stuck there

02:01:46carterhi everyone i am using ipodpatcher.exe to install ipodlinux and i need to know why i am getting this error message: couldnt open input file loader- loader.bin
02:02:18 Quit barrywardell ()
02:02:38carteranyone there?
02:02:41linuxstbcarter: Because you don't have that file in the same directory as ipodpatcher
02:03:02carterplease explain. :)
02:03:14linuxstbExactly what command are you typing?
02:03:45carteripodpatcher 1 -ab loader.bin
02:04:11linuxstbAnd do you have a file called "loader.bin" in the same folder as ipodpatcher.exe?
02:04:28carterno... that would probably work... lol
02:05:57carteromg let me unplug my ipod and see
02:06:01carterthe moment of truth...
02:06:24hcs*drumroll*
02:07:00cartercant load rockbox.ipod: file not found
02:07:03carteromg
02:07:15carterim soo a newbie
02:07:33linuxstbSounds like you installed the Rockbox bootloader...
02:07:50linuxstbWhich given that you're in #rockbox makes it a success.
02:08:04carter?
02:12:58Lars_G_carter: what the fuck are you doing in here?
02:13:39Lars_G_carter: now you need to install rockbox.. itself you know
02:13:59Lars_G_unzip rockbox.zip for your device in the root mount dir (root dir of the device)
02:14:23Lars_G_btw if this is your first install get the rockbox.zip and the fonts zip
02:14:44carterok
02:15:12Lars_G_btw welcome to a world of fun and rockbox.
02:15:18carterty

04:08:56theGruehaha okay
04:09:10theGruei bought a player for cheap that the owner thought needed a new battery
04:09:34theGruei noticed rockbox gives a battery reading when the bootloader starts up, does that have anything to do with capacity?
04:11:51theGrueand my second question was about usb... i seem to need to boot into the original firmware to get it to work. what could the problem there be?
04:12:16chrisjs169theGrue, what player are you referring to?
04:12:45chrisjs169theGrue, there's no USB support in Rockbox.
04:12:57scorchesure there is
04:13:04scorchejust not on PP devices
04:13:16theGruethere's not?
04:13:24theGruei plug it in and it says its going into some usb mode
04:13:28theGruebut doesn't show up
04:13:35scorchewell, what device do you have
04:13:46theGrueand all the iriver faqs say the bootloader is great because it can go into the disk if it's damaged
04:13:54theGrueiriver h320
04:14:00JdGordonsomething is wrong then...
04:14:05JdGordonh300 does have usb in rockbox
04:14:20theGruesorry, i think i have join/parts off, i guess i cant tell if you saw my original question
04:14:24theGruei should fix that

10:33:50jhMikeShmm...the colored diff doesn't show the full change (ignores spacing changes always?)
10:34:13amiconnThe 8721 is register compatible with the 8731 except for the missing recording
10:34:15jhMikeSbecause it's not compatible with the wm8731. it lacks most bits and registers
10:34:42jhMikeSAlso, because it doesn't support recording, it can be a much simpler implmenentation

10:39:32jhMikeSroolku: not yet
10:40:48jhMikeScombining the ADC codecs with the non-ADC ones is just messy and gets in my way
10:41:22linuxstbjhMikeS: The people working on that seeking patch seem to be working very hard, and I think we should tell them whether their work will be accepted into SVN or not. So I wanted to know if it conflicted with your plans for mpegplayer.
10:41:53jhMikeSlinuxstb: I have to get acquanted with it.
10:43:13jhMikeSthis actually seeks using timestamps?
10:44:42roolkuyou basically set a resume time using a kind of preview mode before you start playing the video - it seeks in constant time steps (0.5min), yes
10:45:00roolkuthere is no actual seeking while you are playing
10:45:10jhMikeShmmm
10:45:42jhMikeSI wonder how close it is to being able to do that anyway then.
10:47:12roolkuif with "that" you mean "seeking while playing" I think there are performance issues
10:47:26jhMikeSroolku: this is synced with the allocator split and minds data alignment on COP?
10:47:54jhMikeSyeah, you need to be able to buffer sparsely and not load all data in between
10:48:58roolkujhMikeS: yes it is synched, as to whether is minds all the data alignment - I don't know. What is it one would have to look out for?
10:49:34roolkujhMikeS: if you wouldn't mind giving it a quick spin?
10:49:45jhMikeSCOP data shouldn't be in the same 16-byte address segment
10:49:50jhMikeSsure
10:49:55jhMikeSI was going to do that
10:50:17linuxstbjhMikeS: You mean COP data shouldn't be in the same 16-byte segments as CPU data?
10:50:49*amiconn would expect the same convenience from mpegplayer seeking that video.rock offers
10:50:57jhMikeSlinuxstb: yeah, so that cache lines don't cache the same segment on each processor if sharing isn't intended
10:51:06amiconnvideo.rock auto-saves the resume position of a video when you stop it.
10:51:12linuxstbamiconn: But isn't video.rock using CBR files?
10:51:20amiconnnope
10:51:35amiconnWhen playing it again, video.rock asks whether it should resume, or play from the start
10:52:07amiconnThe video part is cbr (as it's uncompressed lcd frames), but the audio part is plain mp2/mp3, cbr or vbr

11:18:45jhMikeSMy gut says it pretty close to that simple since that's pretty much what's done in other players. Perhaps better thread control is needed but that isn't a problem.
11:19:26roolkucool.
11:20:05jhMikeSIt sometimes fails to seek. It has locked a couple times. Somethimes it doesn't find the seek point but I can bail out.
11:20:34TMMquestion: is it theoretically possible to physically damage NAND from software?
11:20:52roolkusolid lock?

12:52:27n1sLlorean: I haven't looked at the patch loading code at all but I assume it loads all the needed ones into memory which as linuxstb says requires a lot more memory than the half-a-meg the codecs get
12:52:30Nico_Pmetadata displays in the WPS ! :)
12:52:58preglowthese codecs need special treatment from playback.c and codec.c
12:53:32jhMikeS\o/
12:53:40Lloreann1s, linuxstb: So it would need to only load the necessary patches, and preferably keep them around for all buffered midi files?
12:53:44preglowbest solution (if you ask me) is to have one loader per codec that parses files and loads data as the codec wants to use it

12:56:36n1sLlorean, preglow, maybe patches can be loaded as "metadata" to the buffer when mob gets int :-)

12:58:31jhMikeSI do that if possible. With the recording stuff, it just wasn't at many times.
12:58:35Nico_Pn1s: yes
12:58:54n1sthen that idea could actually work :-)
12:59:17Nico_Pn1s: it needs to be moved sometimes, but it's never supposed to be accessed through a fixed pointer... you request it
12:59:19preglowbut please don't do it :/ the amount of work would be the same as for my idea, and my idea would facilitate other codecs doing stuff that way too
12:59:44preglowmod/xm needs samples too
12:59:47jhMikeSpreglow: codecs owning the buffer seems a reasonable way to go
13:00
13:00:00preglowjhMikeS: for everything but actual file buffering, yes
13:00:06n1spreglow: 'kay, would you care to explain your idea a bit more?
13:00:14*Nico_P needs to go make lunch
13:00:15preglowjhMikeS: having the file in the buffer as on disk helps you nothing if you want to play an xm
13:01:17jhMikeSpreglow: I think you had mentioned that before since it's compressed but primitively.
13:01:20preglown1s: basically this: when it comes time to load a file to the buffer, you call a codec-specific loader that parses and loads all data into the buffer the way the codec itself will later want to see it. for midi, you'd probably do little to the main playback sequence data, but you'd load some patches as well and stuff that in the buffer
13:01:25preglowjhMikeS: yes, delta coding
13:02:06preglown1s: for xm, you would need to decompress both pattern data and sample data into the buffer in structs that the codec itself can later use
13:02:25jhMikeSpreglow: are compressed xm very large?
13:02:29preglowyes
13:02:40preglowi've seen xms above ten megs
13:02:46n1spreglow: sounds good, do you mean "codec-specific loader" as an external sort-of plugin?
13:02:49jhMikeSthat's workable here
13:03:04preglown1s: doesn't really matter, we should just put them in the core for starters
13:03:06linuxstbpreglow: Is the decompression process complicated? We wouldn't want to starve the currently playing codec of CPU time
13:03:12preglowlinuxstb: not at all
13:03:17jhMikeSthis will be a fun little threading excercise no doubt
13:03:24preglowlinuxstb: besides, loading should be a lower-priority process than playback
13:03:42***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
13:03:42preglowi'm really starting to see jhMikeS arguments on preemption here...
13:03:48linuxstbpreglow: Yes, but also loading time = disk spinning time, so we want to minimise it.
13:03:51*preglow envisioned careful placing of yield()s ...
13:04:34preglowlinuxstb: sure, but we have no choice anyway
13:04:50preglowif you want to load something, you have to load it while doing other stuff, no matter how long it takes
13:04:55preglowwe have decided to support the stuff
13:05:24preglowif we want codecs to access data as stored in files, we'll need to write them from scratch
13:05:32n1spreglow: we would also need to tell the buffering code what is where in the buffer somehow so we can access it later
13:05:46jhMikeSone issue with preemption on cf is saving those darn accumulators. save macsr, turn off rounding, save accums and accexts. when reloading task...do in reverse order.
13:06:00preglowjhMikeS: how is that an issue?
13:06:16preglown1s: how and why?
13:06:23jhMikeSbecause now we nothing yields until it does movclr
13:06:49preglowjhMikeS: yes, sure, but why is it an issue? it should be straightforward :)
13:06:55jhMikeSARM is just a baby for that stuff though
13:07:05n1spreglow: how would the midi codec for example know where in the buffer a patch were?
13:07:13jhMikeSI guess there's so few calls to switch_thread anyway, you'd never notice it
13:07:35preglown1s: well, i assume the midi codec has a struct or array somewhere with patch addresses
13:07:49preglown1s: that just ends up in the file buffer
13:08:04preglowlots of codec internal state will just actually be placed in the file buffer
13:08:11jhMikeSI guess there would be more attempt to run another task, but if the same task is selected again, then nothing gets saved
13:08:41preglowjhMikeS: i sincerely doubt we'll notice it, no, none of that accumulator handling is overly slow

13:09:19n1spreglow: I think I don't understand your idea fully...
13:09:22amiconnmidi as a codec causes a very special problem
13:09:40jhMikeSThere still would be no more actual context switching than now overall since most threads sleep nearly 100% of the time an take no/minimal CPU
13:10:25amiconnThe midi files are small, the patches are not - and the patches should probably not be loaded twice when playing several midis in sequence
13:10:25preglown1s: all arrays and stuff containing patches and note data in the midi codec for example, just gets loaded by the loader and put in the file buffer, the codec assigns its pointers to the places in the buffer that contains the data
13:10:41preglowamiconn: that'll be a special case i don't really know if it's worth handling
13:11:02preglowperhaps it would be worth making each codec be able of handling several files without unloading, that would handle it
13:11:33amiconnAfaik the codecs already work that way
13:11:39preglowyeah, that's very true
13:11:41preglowforgot that
13:11:56preglowthen we can handle that particular problem in a limited way
13:12:11preglowextending it to handle all cases of patch reuse would be very, very far from kiss
13:12:12amiconnBut midi is still special - it would still need access to old _data_, but _not only_ old data
13:12:13n1spreglow: ah, I thing I get it now, but as Nico_P said we can't rely on pointers being correct, but I guess we could just request the start adress of the data and calculate offsets
13:12:32preglown1s: i'm not talking about metadata
13:12:43preglown1s: for this kind of data, we _would_ be able to assume pointers are correct
13:12:52preglowthere'll be no relocating of this
13:12:55amiconn(unless we want to buffer all patches for a midi file together with that file)
13:13:05n1spreglow: all the simpler then :-)
13:13:47preglown1s: this is the simplest and best way i can see of doing this, but please think up alternatives :)
13:14:06n1spreglow: I'll think about it ;-)
13:14:15Lloreanamiconn: Or we could have codec metadata too, perhaps?
13:14:20preglowjust remember the fact that the file as stored on disk is of limited use to many codecs, they almost always need to be parsed into internal structures, that's the most important bits
13:14:33 Quit freqmod (Remote closed the connection)
13:14:40LloreanStore the patches as "metadata" or whatever you want to call it, for the codec, so they're released when the codec is?
13:15:55linuxstbLlorean: It's not quite the same - the codec is copied into the codec buffer. Leaving the patches in the main buffer will create fragmentation.
13:16:35preglowwhich we really don't want to handle
13:16:50preglowwhich is why i think we should only handle this in a limited fashion
13:16:59jhMikeSI thought about speculatively buffering files regardless of format. If it's skipped, no decompression takes place. If it plays and needs x amount of buffer to play, that amount is flushed including later files the were buffer on a "what if" and it's allowed to take it.
13:17:49preglowjhMikeS: how much time do you think we'd need to fix all the lazy thread coding in rockbox to work with preemption?
13:18:20preglowi don't really have a full grasp on how bad it is
13:19:05jhMikeShmmm...I've been pondering that...not sure. it's mostly a concern for low-level code but of course playback and a few other bits come in to that. If might not be that bad.
13:20:54jhMikeSI think factoring playback will be a huge help in determining that.
13:21:10preglowhaha, i believe you
13:22:30jhMikeSIt doesn't mean throwing mutexes around absolutely everything either. just come careful interface tweaking to some things.

13:25:21preglowwhy would we?
13:25:52preglowi get why we would ultimately do that, yes :) but i think that can wait for sure
13:26:06preglowbeing able to touch ports in all parts of the code with no bloody syscalls is nice

13:27:10preglowno idea
13:27:16preglowbut in what way would this help us far anyway?
13:27:25preglowbuggy code would still be buggy
13:28:12jhMikeSWell, it might not crash from user code as easily. Might be more trouble than it's worth. I haven't been itching to even do that.
13:28:28preglowi think it is more trouble than it's worth, we want buggy code to crash
13:28:39n1s:-D
13:28:44JdGordonthe debug screens are really he only apps layer code which shuold touch ports
13:28:49preglowpreemption might very well make us write better code, but code privileges would not
13:29:02jhMikeSpreglow: i guess you made my point about the threading back at me ;)
13:29:09preglow:)
13:29:41preglowcoffee time
13:29:53jhMikeSa good thing too is that correct preemtive code is also mutiprocessor safe
13:30:30JdGordonor... we could fix the current code so its multi-proc safe and still have it less complex than preemtive?
13:31:15preglowwell
13:31:20preglowthat would mean it's more complex than preemptive
13:31:42preglowsince we'd be relying on really fluid stuff. something that would be ok would very probably not be ok in two months time
13:32:12preglowthe only way of doing it properly so that we don't end up in the same old disappearing-maintainer-means-dead-code hell is doing it properly

13:33:38jhMikeSif you make it multi-proc safe...it's also preemtive-safe
13:33:47amiconnpreemption will cause a lot more overhead
13:34:00preglowonly in thread communication
13:34:02preglownowhere else
13:34:13amiconnIn the scheduler as well
13:34:17preglowyielding will happen at more or less the same rate as before
13:34:31jhMikeSJdGordon: and so you won't have suprise race condition that pop-up when new yields appear where you were expecting them
13:34:32preglowthe thread context will become bigger, though
13:34:42amiconnPreemptive threading requires to save *all* registers.
13:34:46jhMikeSpreglow: not much
13:34:55amiconnThat's easily twice as many registers as cooperative
13:34:58preglowbut the current code is becoming too complex for the yield() maze
13:35:01JdGordonjhMikeS: ok, didnt tihnk of that, I guess that makes sense
13:35:45jhMikeSIt depends on _how_ the task switch occured. If it was forced through a function call, then only non-volatile context need be saved anyway.
13:36:15JdGordonso every function call checks if it should context switch?
13:36:26preglowshould we bother about that, though? i'd rather just keep it simple and always store everything
13:36:32amiconnThat sounds even more complicated...
13:36:33jhMikeScall into the kernel that would block a thread would force a switch
13:37:07jhMikeSin this setting, I might just stack the registers
13:37:21JdGordon.. which would eb the equiv of yield() anyway... we dont have that many kernel functions which would work for that
13:37:37jhMikeSJdGordon: no, it's not. yield doesn't block
13:38:19jhMikeSqueues, mutexes, sleep, etc. do/can block a thread.
13:38:22JdGordonoh, misread, you meant do the switch check on kernel threads which are expected to block?
13:38:46jhMikeSthere'd be no check. we'd stack a complete context only if the time quantum ran out
13:38:59jhMikeS...and if an different task was selected
13:39:09JdGordonstill... apart from disk access.. how much of the apps layer calls blocking functions?
13:39:14jhMikeSthe latter almost never happens
13:40:00jhMikeSapps layer would just call queue_wait or whatever the same as always. queues have sync built into them...they are a sync primitive.
13:41:31preglowyes, preemption is definitely starting to sound more and more right
13:42:27amiconnNot at all imo...
13:42:30JdGordoneven using the queue funcs to switch, still is easy to make a function which is going to eat the cpu and not call any kernel blocking functions, so you would need a yield anyway

13:43:29preglowthe current deal isn't kiss. stuff crashes and hangs for reasons no one knows because of yield() placement
13:44:08*jhMikeS must be unusal in that threaded programming doesn't give him much trouble. ?
13:44:16preglowthe only excuse to not go preemptive is so we can continue writing bad thread communications code
13:44:25JdGordonjhMikeS: but how could it be preempted if the switching is done in the blockng kernel functions like you said?
13:44:27amiconnRight now you can easily make sure that a certain sequence is run without interruption by other threads. With preemption you can't
13:44:57*JdGordon has an idea!
13:45:01amiconnThat means a lot of code *will* break when introducing preemption
13:45:04preglowdoesn't critical sections do that?
13:45:17JdGordonamiconn: will you agree to code up viewports if jhMikeS agrees to drop this silly preemtion idea? :D
13:45:26jhMikeSJdGordon: when the time quantum runs out, the thread is interrupted and a new task selected. no yield needed. however, yield could still be used just to tell the kernel to try running something else.
13:46:30jhMikeSsome code will break, some will only need a bit of tweaking. nothing to cook up in a weekend for sure.
13:46:35JdGordoncan a thread be run on either cpu? or can it only run on the cpu its created on?
13:47:12jhMikeSJdGordon: well, if I get pp5020 sorted out, they can be switched in my patch.

13:47:37preglownow, that i do not see a reason to introduce
13:47:52preglowwe will want to keep certain threads on certain cores since we'll be prioritising certain things
13:48:00preglowlike on ipods, it's pretty important the ui is responsive
13:48:02jhMikeSonly thing is, the thread just call switch_core(new_core)
13:48:21JdGordonyeah, but why have the COP sleeping when the CPU is switching between 3 busy threads?
13:48:52preglowthe rockbox kernel should be a bit better, but there's no reason for it to become a full-fledged server kernel either
13:49:14jhMikeSThe scheduler isn't as busy as some might think. During playback, expect about 60 switches/second. The audio thread sleeps then the buffer is full.
13:49:44preglowmost threads don't do shit
13:50:21jhMikeSnope. idle is about 10-12 switches per second to service all the threads on timeout. mostly that's the scroll thread.

13:52:29jhMikeSthe single biggest cycle burner we do is busy yield loops and that can rack up millions of switches (actually calls to switch_thread that just select the same task again) during a disk read with a fast processor.
13:53:14jhMikeSEven SH runs them by the 100 thousand during playback buffer
13:54:16preglowyeah
13:54:18jhMikeSI must admit I got these measurement with a patched kernel where switch_thread is only about 50-60 instructions.

14:01:11preglowjhMikeS: but how well do you think realtime threads like rtdsp would play with the user interface?
14:01:38preglowrt threads are always troublesome, in my experience
14:01:41pregloweven when simple
14:02:26jhMikeSrtdsp?
14:03:11preglowrealtime dsp
14:03:36jhMikeSah, stupid me. "realtime threads" is really a priority consideration.
14:04:00jhMikeSIt wouldn't need to starve away others to be timely
14:04:38preglowyeah, i guess it wouldn't need to be real realtime
14:04:46preglowwouldn't be the end of the world if it skipped a buffer during intense load
14:05:05preglowbut ui not being interrupted too much is really the only important one
14:05:07jhMikeSI think the right setup could actually improve the situation since priority could be finely adjusted

14:07:09GodEater_how would you do the prioritisation? Something similar to a "nice" implementation ?
14:07:18BenoitbHi ! I've got a problem on a Gigabeat F40, I compiled the latest SVN and my gigabeat doesn't boot after I turn it off unless I switch the battery off and on
14:08:10preglowGodEater_: still no waking?
14:08:13jhMikeSGodEater_: I guess there's alot of ways. The distribution needs to have maximally high frequency components...it's sort of a dithering thing.
14:08:29BenoitbI had this problem with a recent custom build so I wanted to check with the official SVN without any patch and it's the same problem, so it is in the core of rockbox
14:09:22GodEater_preglow: nope - still no waking
14:09:34LloreanBenoitb: Did the build you were using have the quick startup patch?
14:09:54LloreanBenoitb: There have been a few patches in the past for the gigabeat that cause problems with booting, even after you've removed the build.

14:16:38BenoitbI see you advise to do a real power cycle, which I think I did. Could it be that I have to wait for a certain amount of time when the battery switch is off before I switch it to on again ?

18:38:43kugeltrue and false?
18:39:07kugelor doesnt it return anything?
18:39:47jhMikeSdonsdw: I think that little bump in volume might be due to pcm delay and using tone controls. Do you have them on?
18:39:55donsdwYes lag. I turn the wheel to increase volume and it takes about 2 sec before the volume increases.
18:40:20jhMikeSdonsdw: that doesn't seem normal at all. mine does not do that.
18:40:32donsdwI'll check, jhMikeS. Thanks

19:35:21belarmnot had much luck finding it in the docs
19:36:34Nico_PjhMikeS: "only one thread has access to modifying each" > does this mean like playback modifies tail and buffering modifies head ?

19:37:51Nico_PI'm pretty sure my code respects that

19:38:45rasherbelarm: it really should be in the manual
19:39:08amiconnThat way the consumer can never assume data is already available when it actually isn't yet
19:39:29jhMikeSIn mpegplayer, the audio data is added at the tail and then the write_pos is updated. The interrupt reads the data and pulls it off the buffer by modifying read_pos.

19:57:32amiconnOn archos, the MAS isr works that way

20:02:21amiconnSo ~4000 ints/sec
20:02:43jhMikeS12 pairs for packed. 6 pairs for unpack 32-bit.
20:03:13amiconnOkay, quite a few more than on SH1 for recording (around 700 ints/sec)
20:04:57jhMikeSI don't think a few more instructions will be noticed. The asm I did has 1/2-2/3 the instructions of the current asm fiq (didn't really count)
20:05:41amiconnOh, forgot that SH1 also handles more... in wavrecord.rock
20:06:06amiconnFor wav recording, it's one int per 36 recorded bytes - but that's uncompressed...
20:06:45jhMikeSand wav is 44100?
20:06:46belarmrasher: actually, it seems to be the menu button; but when i chose the Recording option by mistake, i guess the iPod locked up; as choosing it now, i get an interface I didn't see last time.
20:06:58belarmthanks for the help, in any event
20:07:03amiconnCan be any standard rate from 8000 to 48000 Hz

21:27:51rasherpixelma: can't you just commit the radio-enabling patch and see if any actual radio-less c200 appears. It's not like you could prove they *don't* exist anyway
21:28:00TMMlinuxstb_: did you try reconnecting the NAND while it is plugged in yet?
21:28:05amiconnYeah, but I can make doom crash with menu voices enabled when setting boolean options

21:28:50amiconnFamiliar bug - nobody seems to check what struct opt_items consists of :(
21:28:58pixelmarasher: yeah, I think so too - but it is low_light's patch...
21:29:12amiconnThe voice id is an id, not a pointer, and "no voice" is -1, not NULL
21:29:29amiconn0 is a valid voice id - happens to be "yes"
21:30:08rasherpixelma: yeah, I meant a more general you. Zagor's c200 having a radio chip is a good indication that all c200s might have one (but not proof, of course)
21:30:13jhMikeSsomethings odd though. buzzing about the menus it seems when the disk spins down from the menu, voice gets trashed and no longer plays
21:30:24jhMikeSthis is from the root menu btw

21:34:50pixelmaagm3nt: does your c200 have a radio (officially)
21:34:55delYsidI think there is a race when using pcm_play and voice.

22:17:31scorche|workRedbreva: ping

22:18:17mpeccoriniEven rbutilqt can't detect it
22:18:32ubercooldaveim not sure what you mean, all i did was download the theme and unzip it to the right folders, and it seemed to install quite a few files in different places... the AquaPod theme works very well tho and looks awsome so well done to whoever made that lol
22:18:38jhMikeSok, so 1) fix the i2s 2) fix the mpegplayer
22:19:30low_lightpixelma: you should replace the c200 sim bitmap with your version
22:19:57pixelmayou mean the svg?
22:20:23scorche|workubercooldave: well, what you describe means that the theme you are trying to load is either broken, or requires patches

22:30:14nico__(and if possible, as a bonus, play the albums from a same artist together, say by release date)
22:30:16rasherSeems it doesn't. I guess that's reason enough. No need to add another dependency I suppose.
22:30:33amiconnrasher: The windows sim used bmp because windows has built-in support for bmp
22:30:41n1snico__: should be possible with the database, possibly you will need a custom tagnavi.conf setup, search in the forums

23:07:36Ebertah thx toffe82
23:07:45amiconnCompared to letting the display running without backlight I mean
23:10:08jhMikeSprobably not measurably. perhaps it's would be better to leave it on and then just do the whole thing/or not if the user wants to.

23:42:13markunI just enabled the ARM optimized mdct in Tremor on my Gigabeat and it goes from 614% realtime to 613%!
23:42:56jhMikeShmmm...gigabeat really hates memory stalls
23:43:11jhMikeSis that in SVN or a patch?

23:43:50markunwith .icode replaced by .text
23:45:06IsolinearAhhh.. Very nice.
23:46:03amiconnWhat? Gigabeat is only around 600% realtime for vorbis? I would have expected much more given the clock frequency...
23:46:07jhMikeSmarkun: it could also be alignment changes which trigger more cache line fills. data on arm should be aligned on arm as well so that a 16-byte segment takes only one cache fill instead of two.

23:46:35jhMikeSnothing juicy
23:46:52preglowjhMikeS: still no idea why test_codec fails now?
23:47:13amiconnAnyway, 500 or 600%, doesn't really matter
23:47:30amiconn...especially since the gigabeat doesn't even do frequency scaling
23:48:04markunamiconn: but still we get a better runtime with lower CPU load
23:48:44jhMikeSpreglow: I thought it failed on PP. Obviously markun could test on gigabeat. But I have no idea right now. No other plugin shows any symptoms.
23:48:45amiconnReally? I thought that even frequency scaling doesn't change that, but causes stability problems, and was disabled for those reasons
23:49:09alienbiker99600% realtime is bad?
23:49:27amiconnSo I somehow expected that changing the cpu load also doesn't change battery runtime
23:49:42jhMikeSif you don't do frequency scaling, the player will at least sleep the core alot

23:52:22preglowjhMikeS: then why does markun have to test on gigabeat? :)
