00:00:31 Quit petur ("Zzzz")
00:04:30Mouser_XJust to make sure I'm doing this right: I've done "svn revert -R ." then I updated my SVN, then added 7331, and then 5241. Then I removed my "build" directory. I'm about to "make" a new Build. Is this correct?
00:04:38Mouser_XOr should I do "make clean" ?
00:05:27bluebrotherrun "make clean" first.
00:05:45Mouser_XWill that begin the build process?
00:07:18Mouser_XDoesn't appear so.

00:07:31n1sno, it will just remove old intermediate files
00:08:01pixelmaMouser_X: I had a problem with the mod patch and just doing an svn revert because of the new files which were added - those couldn't be reversed, svn doesn't know about them
00:08:29Mouser_XSVN compiled just fine with Rockbox + 5241
00:08:43 Quit BigBambi_ ("Please insert girder")
00:09:01Mouser_XIt also compiled just fine with Rockbox + 7331. However, when I did Rockbox + 7331 + 5241, I got problems.
00:09:19pixelmaok, just wanted to share my experience :)

00:11:34Mouser_X(Just to clarify: I've been using 7331, 5241, and 2911. However, 2911 would just be "icing on the cake." While nice, I would be just as happy without it, as I would be with it.)

00:22:04ashesis rockbox supposed to support utf8 characters in tag info, with ogg (or flac)
00:22:20ashesmy characters are being displayed badly
00:22:26ashesnot file names
00:22:37ashesalso
00:22:56bluebrotherashes: are you using a font that has the characters in question?
00:23:04bluebrothervorbis comments are always utf-8.
00:23:14asheswould i get better performance if i compile rockbox myself specifically for my cpu model?
00:23:20ashesbluebrother: maybe not
00:23:33n1sashes: it _is_ compiled for your cpu
00:23:33bluebrotherRockbox _is_ build for the specific cpu.
00:23:37 Quit iamben (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:24:04bluebrotherand you might want to try unifont. It's the most complete font in terms of characters present afaik.
00:24:14 Quit Zagor ("Client exiting")
00:24:55n1swell, it's technically not compiled for the correct coldfire model but gcc doesn't support the one we have before 4.3
00:24:58LloreanIf the tags are being displayed poorly, but not the filenames, and they contain the same text, isn't that usually a codepage issue?
00:25:30ashesmy theme font is utf8, i changed it to something else which isn't utf8. it's okay now

00:27:46bluebrotherLlorean: yes, usually. But AFAIK vorbis comments are always utf-8 per definition.
00:28:09bluebrotherit's an issue with id3 tags as those don't hold information about the used codepage

00:30:28pixelmaID3 does but only since version 2.4
00:30:52pixelma(IIRC)
00:30:58LloreanWhat was it about 2.4 that tends to cause people to prefer 2.3?
00:31:43linuxstbI think it's just less widely supported
00:32:30amiconnInteresting... HD66773R and HD66789R have a very similar command set, but there are some details where they behave different
00:32:55amiconnE.g. on HD66789R, setting the update window resets the address pointer. On HD66773R it does not.
00:33:27Mouser_Xbluebrother: Should I paste the entire log to pastebin, or just the "interesting" stuff?
00:33:39bluebrotherah, id3v2 also allows utf-16, even earlier than 2.4
00:33:52Mouser_X(Specifically, though I doubt it, there might be some stuff that I didn't think was important that I might leave out.)

00:36:19Mouser_X(I patched in 7331 followed by 5241, otherwise there would have been more stuff there.)
00:37:05Mouser_XI'm building for the Gigabeat, if that's of importance.
00:37:27webguest23i installed rockbox on my sansa e200r with the e200rsansapatcher but i tried to update it. After it was done updating, i tried to install it back on. When the writing on the screen comes up, it say "unknown bootloader" then i have to shut it down. Anyone know what this means?
00:37:51webguest23when i updates the sansa, rockbox didn't boot
00:37:56pixelmaMouser_X: same error that I got, take a look at the metadata/mod.c file - mine was 3 times as long as it should be, because after the svn revert without the file being removed every try to patch added the file "inside" the one that was still there again
00:38:05 Join BHSPitLappy [0] (n=steve-o@unaffiliated/bhspitmonkey)
00:38:08n1swebguest23: that your bootloader isn't supported
00:38:20webguest23what does that mean
00:38:39n1sthat e200rpatcher doesn't know how to patch it
00:38:58webguest23do i have to find another bootloader
00:39:06Mouser_Xpixelma: Hmmm. Possible. Though I know it *does* compile just fine. I guess I could delete my SVN and checkout again.
00:39:18n1sI would suggest using an earlier version of the firmware
00:39:23webguest23okay
00:40:02LloreanMouser_X: What she said means "the patch may compile just fine, but what you've done combined with how the patch is made could cause this error by having applied, removed, then re-applied the patch"
00:40:08n1sMouser_X: no need to check out again just revert and delete any files added by the patches
00:40:15bluebrotherMouser_X: you could just rm mod.c

00:41:27Mouser_XWhere would I find "mod.c" to remove it?
00:41:46pixelmaapps/metadata/mod.c
00:41:54*bluebrother is too slow
00:42:05amiconnThere are 2 different mod.c
00:42:39n1samiconn: did you ever find out what license that modplayer is under?
00:42:43pixelmayes - probably the other one in apps/codecs is affected too
00:43:38amiconnn1s: No. *someone* should drop 'myth' a mail...
00:44:30n1swell apparently that tumu person is working on porting dumb so I guess we can see how that turns out...
00:44:33webguest23do you know where i can download earlier firmware for my e200r
00:45:51jhMikeSamiconn: which is more imporant on SH? icode or idata?
00:46:23amiconnDepends on what the code does. What do you want to do?
00:46:54jhMikeSkeep iram use to only what's nescessary. I don't think switch_thread need to be icode for anything.
00:47:13amiconnI'd think so too
00:47:51amiconnThere isn't much iram, and switch_thread() does neither contain excessive loops, nor is it called extremely often
00:48:04 Quit Mouser_X (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:48:43jhMikeSthe thread data gets far more use than the code in general
00:48:44amiconnOn SH1, dram is as fast as iram for data _within a fast page access sequence_, i.e. no wait state
00:48:58amiconnOpening the page costs 2 cycles
00:49:28amiconnPutting code in iram helps to avoid contention of instruction fetches with external memory accesses, _if coded carefully_

00:50:00Mouser_XSorry, my laptop locked up.
00:50:14jhMikeSso having data in iram and code in ram should help avoid contention?
00:50:30amiconnIt's not that simple
00:50:57amiconnSH instructions are 16 bit. DRAM is 16 bit too, IRAM is 32 bit
00:51:13amiconnWhen code is running from IRAM, the SH fetches them in pairs
00:51:28jhMikeSaha
00:52:12amiconnThat means if you put memory access instruction in the correct slot, the memory access doesn't contend with instruction fetch, no matter whether the data is in iram or dram
00:53:07amiconnIf either code or data is in iram and the other in dram, it is slower than having both in iram, but not much, as the cpu can make efficient use of fast page mode
00:53:39amiconnBoth code and data in dram still hass that advantage, as long as the data is located close enough (within the same page)
00:53:39 Quit webguest23 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
00:54:13amiconnIf they're further apart, that's the worst situation, as each and every fetch (code and data) switches pages

01:07:21linuxstbwebguest68: Which bootloader? What exactly did you do?
01:07:46Lloreanashes: Not only that, but following our processes insures you're using both the right versions of binutils and gcc, and have installed any necessary patches so that compiling doesn't fail
01:08:24LloreanWe don't really accept bug-reports on versions of Rockbox not compiled with the expected environment, because of how picky some of these processors can be (and how strangely buggy gcc has shown itself to be cross-compiling in some cases)
01:08:35webguest68well, i deleted the file OF.mi4
01:08:42webguest68that was in the system menu

01:09:20superkaybeeLlorean: thanks!
01:09:37linuxstbThat's the Sansa original firmware. You'll need to enter recovery mode and reinstall the Sansa firmware to get USB mode again, then install Rockbox again.

01:20:19jhMikeSamiconn: according to the instruction reference, loading memory byte=>register or storing reg=>memory byte should be efficient on SH, right?
01:20:43amiconnIf you want sign extension, then yes
01:21:32JdGordonlinuxstb: hey, still around?
01:21:46jhMikeShmmm...it doesn't really matter if it is extended or not. I only care about bits 0-7 anyway.
01:21:50amiconnOn H300 and X5 it might in fact pay off to write the data in lcd_write_yuv420_lines() into an IRAM buffer instead of the LCD controller, and then set up a DMA transfer and calculate the next line pair in the background...
01:22:19jhMikeSoh, so you will try that trick :)
01:22:48amiconnDrawback is that it needs 2 additional buffers in iram, each sized 2*LCD_WIDTH
01:22:49linuxstbJdGordon: Just about
01:23:17JdGordondo i use bootloader/bootloader.bin with sansapatcher to update the ppbl? or something else?
01:23:20amiconnThat is 880 iram bytes on H300, and still 640 bytes on X5
01:23:23jhMikeSthat's my misgiving about it too
01:23:52jhMikeSunless bursts are used then it's not much slower
01:23:54linuxstbJdGordon: According to barrywardell's commit message, it needs a raw binary, so yes, bootloader/bootloader.bin should be it.

01:25:21amiconnPutting the extra buffers on stack too might overflow the stack...
01:26:36amiconnErm, and the 2 additional buffers on X5 would be 1280 bytes, not 640 (32 bits per pixel in order to use dma)

01:56:08jhMikeSgigabeat?
01:56:08LloreanRockbox runs on music players
01:56:34Asteriskk_can somebody send me the lame3.97 source code? I can't seem to get sourceforge to respond and I need it for cygwin
01:56:37scorcheLogomachist: rockbox doesnt run on any "video players"...it runs on digital audio players, which can play video with rockbox
01:56:39LloreanMost of the devices weren't designed for video, and have it as a more or less "added feature" to the music playback
01:56:49LloreanLogomachist: As for which player runs video best in Rockbox, it's the Gigabeat.
01:57:22LogomachistI'm confused. Rockbox plays video on devices that aren't made to play video, but on devices that do play video, it doesn't work?
01:57:24jhMikeSVideo is hardly an addon to a 300 or 500MHz chip (when the latter is ready)
01:57:48LloreanLogomachist: There are no devices that Rockbox runs on that were designed as "video players"

01:58:24Asteriskk_if you want video whynot get one of those little portable dvd players?
01:58:30LloreanBut if you want to watch video on Rockbox, hands down your best choice is the Gigabeat.
01:58:47Mouser_XIndeed.
01:58:49webguest72when i am in recovery mode with the usb plugged in, it son't connect to the computer. Why is it doing this.
01:59:12LloreanAt anywhere from US $90 to $130 depending on luck and persistence for a 40gb device, and a 320x240 screen that's quite nice, and a fast enough processor to run fullscreen at 30fps, it's a no brainer.
01:59:41webguest72rockbox is booting but the original firmware is not. I'm using a sansa e200r
01:59:48LogomachistI want the ability to watch video, but I don't want to buy a seperate video player, and I don't want dvd player because it would not be convinient at the gym..
01:59:57Asteriskk_ah
02:00
02:00:25Mouser_XLogomachist: Rockbox can play MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 vidoes.
02:00:28Mouser_X*videos
02:00:48LloreanLogomachist: Well, there's really only one choice with Rockbox. Well, two if you count the Gigabeat F and Gigabeat X as separate players, but they're more or less separate looks for the same player.
02:00:58Mouser_XIn other words, buy a Gigabeat, and convert your videos to MPEG-2, and play them in Rockbox.
02:01:21advcomp2019webguest72, did you add OF.mi4 when doing the step
02:01:24Asteriskk_to add to that, you can use virtualdub to do that
02:01:37Asteriskk_incase you didnt know
02:02:03markunI watched video on a Archos 605 today, looked pretty good
02:02:05LogomachistMaybe I will.

02:02:51webguest72if i could get into recovery mode thn i could fix it but i don't know how to get it to connect
02:02:56Mouser_XSorry.
02:03:24markunscorche: I should go to sleep now to get back into a normal rithm..
02:03:41krazykitLogomachist, no, not really.
02:03:43scorchemarkun: good luck with that...let me know when you get the pictures up ;)
02:03:54scorche...not like many were taken, but meh
02:04:12markunscorche: I don't have the pictures with the 3 of us
02:04:20markunwas karl's camera used for that?
02:04:23Mouser_XLogomachist: If you're wondering if there's any devices that *natively* support video playback, and run Rockbox, then your only option is the iPod video.
02:04:24scorcheoh...was that karl?
02:05:13markunI hope so
02:05:34Mouser_XLogomachist: However, I would strongly suggest that you look at the Gigabeat first. It's a great player, and video works great on it as well.
02:05:45LogomachistYeah... If Gigabeat plays video better than the iPod running Rockbox, there's no reason for me to prefer the iPod.
02:06:10webguest72`it says that the usb cable is onnected on the screen but i still get no results on the computer
02:06:27*amiconn wonders why we don't use buffered writes by default
02:06:39LogomachistBut is the Gigabeat really going to compare, in its video playback, with a device designed from the ground up to play video? For example, the Zune?
02:07:02markunLogomachist: depends how you want to compare them
02:07:05 Quit bb_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
02:07:06LloreanLogomachist: Rockbox doesn't run on the Zune anyway
02:07:12Mouser_XThe Zune uses hardware that is very similar to the Gigabeat S (though, the Gigabeat S doesn't yet run Rockkbox).
02:07:18advcomp2019webguest72, you do not see 16m-format in my computer
02:07:29webguest72no
02:07:40krazykitLogomachist, there are other things to consider, of course. The Zune is crippled to Windows, Rockbox players are not, among other things.
02:08:11LogomachistI just used the Zune as an example, I wasn't seriously considering getting it.
02:08:43LloreanLogomachist: The only real advantages other players might have, is that if some of them have fast enough processors, filesizes at a given quality may be a little bit smaller.
02:08:44Mouser_XLogomachist: The Gigabeat F (which runs Rockbox, and Rockbox can play videos) has a 300 mhz CPU. The Gigabeat S (which has nearly identical hardware to the Zune, if I'm told correctly) has a 533 mhz CPU.
02:09:17webguest72do i have to install a certain driver
02:09:33Mouser_XThere's a port for the Gigabeat S in the making, but it hasn't gotten very far yet.
02:09:34markunMouser_X: I also believe the i.mx31 has some logic used for video playback (maybe decoding or just scaling, I don't know)
02:09:42Asteriskk_any chance of getting rockbox to play audible.com content?
02:09:54LloreanAsteriskk_: No. It's DRM restricted.

02:11:15amiconnwhoa
02:11:35jhMikeSamiconn: what's not using buffered writes?
02:11:46amiconnColdfire (except for dram)
02:12:23amiconnI enabled buffered writes as default in crt0.S and system-target.h, testing on H300 - and guess what?
02:12:35Asteriskk_it's drm restricted but they have players that will work with their content listed on their site
02:12:37amiconn38% speedup in lcd_yuv_blit() when boosted!
02:12:44markunwow
02:12:45jhMikeSnot bad :)
02:13:11amiconnI'll test this for a few days, whether something unusual happens
02:14:07amiconnI might have to recalibrate the remote lcd timing, as it may become too fast with buffered writes
02:14:14amiconnPerhaps some other timings too
02:14:22jhMikeSwhat's the mod?
02:14:41Mouser_XLogomachist: I am not the one to ask (since I've never used the Zune), but I would think that the Zune would have the advantage in 2 areas, over the Gigabeat. The Zune has a larger screen (I think. I don't know this), and a faster CPU. Because it has a faster CPU, the Zune might support seeking while watching a video (something that Rockbox can't do. There's not enough extra CPU available to watch the video, and fast forward/rewind).

06:44:35spkyi'm trying to patch with http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7538?getfile=14548, it only has 1 failed hunk in firmware/target/arm/ipod/button-clickwheel.c, can someone please tell me where i'm suppose to paste the second hunk?
06:44:52scorchereverendnathan: did you properly eject/umount the device before unplugging it?
06:45:17reverendnathanscorche: No, I don't know how to umount an iPod without umounting everything
06:45:20reverendnathanWhich is annoyin'
06:45:32reverendnathanSo I just pull the plug out
06:45:35reverendnathanNo dice?
06:45:49scorchespky: there are clues in the patch file and rejects file
06:45:57scorchereverendnathan: yeah...that isnt a good thing
06:47:02scorchereverendnathan: do the whole process over again, but dont pull the plug out till you can correctly umount it (umount /dev/<devicenamehere>)
06:47:06spkyi'm lookin at the patch and the source, i'm not sure where it's suppose to be adding the hunk, the data above and below isnt in the source
06:47:24reverendnathank
06:48:00scorchespky: well, this is just part of syncing patches to current svn...you have to figure out where things go and fix them
06:48:26spkyshoot
06:48:32reverendnathanscorche: Should I redo dragon dropping the .rockbox folder to /ipod/? Or just redo ./ipodpatcher
06:48:34spkyi'm sorry i pasted the wrong link
06:48:50scorchedragon dropping?
06:48:52spkyhttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5111?pagenum=1
06:48:59scorcheand you likely have to redo everything
06:49:17reverendnathanDrag 'n' drop
06:49:21reverendnathanDragon drop
06:49:28reverendnathank redoin'
06:50:02spkypieso patch not custom splash

06:53:43reverendnathancomputer doesn't recognize it
06:53:49reverendnathanShould I pull the plug?
06:54:09scorchedid you successfully umount it?
06:54:43reverendnathanI'm pretty sure
06:54:59scorchethen go for it
06:55:00reverendnathanNot showing up in /dev/
06:55:14psycho_maniacfor some reason my ipod wont unmount when ever i transfer a video file to it.

09:29:51amiconnJdGordon: On the Player, all numeric settings are backwards. That includes all sound settings now, e.g. "+" decreases volume, "-" increases :(
09:30:17JdGordonthat shouldnt have flipped for player :(
09:30:31JdGordonok, ill fix that in a sec

09:32:15amiconnNow 'credits' can't be stopped anymore on Player...
09:32:27JdGordonkill the port.. :D
09:33:52peturamiconn: it can't?
09:35:01amiconnnope
09:35:18amiconnCONTEXT_KEYBOARD isn't defined for player, so it's mapped to the standard context
09:35:36amiconnAnd the standard context will *never* fire ACTION_KBD_ABORT
09:35:36peturwoops
09:35:46JdGordonwait.. why are you using CONTEXT_KEYBOARD anyway?
09:35:55amiconnAsk petur, not me...
09:36:54peturwe need some general navigation context, I reused the keyboard one out of laziness
09:37:29amiconnIt used to be breakable with any button...
09:37:29JdGordonCONTEXT_STANDARD should be used,
09:37:48amiconn...and I don't see why that should change
09:37:51JdGordonthe credits plugin doesnt need anything more advanced han std_next std_prev and std_ok
09:38:34amiconnHmm, that was already gone before petur added navigation...

09:39:12amiconnThey're called *UI*simulators for a reason...
09:39:20JdGordonok, it looks like the charcell hack/fix wasnt put in when i reaarnged the code a while ago
09:39:29JdGordonyeah yeah...
09:39:50*petur has a new pc at work and installed ubuntu in a virtualbox - now for the compilers :)
09:40:19amiconnImho the sims are more useful for their original purpose (simulating the UI) than anything else
09:41:03amiconnLow level stuff needs to be checked on target anyway, and higher level non-ui stuff is usually the same for the whole class of targets (hwcodec or swcodec)
09:41:07JdGordonwait... they are usefull for something else?
09:41:22psycho_maniacanybody ever see this page? http://beastnetworks.ath.cx/index.php?page=gbeat-rbox.....shows how to install rockbox on the gigabeat f/x
09:41:26amiconnBut no developer has *all* targets available, so UI stuff can be checked in sims
09:42:30amiconnJdGordon: Some devs seem to use them for debugging things like codecs, dsp stuff etc.

09:51:14peturbah, it looks like SVN uses a port that isn't opened by our firewall at work :(
09:51:48JdGordonLlorean: it does, it jus displays nothing for the first secod or so
09:52:10LloreanIn that case, I think how much time you save might depend on which OF you're coming from.
09:52:25LloreanI'd been led to believe "newer" OF has this annoying, long "Lil' Monsta'" animation that the older OF didn't have.
09:52:27JdGordonno, the of shouldnt be run at all now
09:52:43JdGordonexcept when you want it to boot the of

10:14:27GodEater_or more accurately - a commit in between probably did
10:14:43pondlifeI'm getting an occasional hard hang today though
10:14:53GodEater_not had that yet
10:14:57pondlifeSeems to be related to codec change
10:15:04JdGordonCONTEXT_STD may not have been the best one to use :p

10:15:28GodEater_let me try again
10:15:42pondlifeIt's not a reproducible crash (at least, not yet)
10:16:18GodEater_nope - just switched fine
10:16:20pondlifeThe only other problem is that selecting an unbuffered track stops playback for longer than SVN
10:16:26GodEater_MP3 -> SPX here
10:16:36GodEater_that's true

10:51:42pondlifeI doubt that's related to my crashing, but it does make the slower rebuffer more noticable.
10:51:57pondlifeOr maybe there's a lack of yielding during rebuffers now?
10:52:24pondlifeDoes your file browsing go slower during buffering, or was that more obvious with SVN ?
10:52:58pondlifeI wonder if that's more noticeable with a scrollwheel...

11:32:25jhMikeSamiconn: I was using H120 for that so I doubt it :)
11:32:40amiconnHmm, not all the time, due to the detection interrupt
11:32:50amiconnH100 has a bitbanging adc driver too...
11:34:34*JdGordon back
11:34:53JdGordonthe slider looked terrible
11:35:07JdGordonI tink higher values at the top makes sense for all but the wheel targets
11:35:10GodEater_pondlife: you're clearly faster than me :)
11:35:12amiconnThat reminds me - I wanted to make that one adapt to cpu clock like the pcf driver does
11:35:27amiconnCould save a percent or so when not boosted
11:36:08jhMikeSThere's other fw and software where a slider doesn't look terrible so that makes no sense to me that it's the slider at fault.
11:36:19*amiconn needs to measure clock cycles for GPIO access with vs. without buffered writes
11:36:36amiconnjhMikeS: A slider has some fundamental problems
11:36:43JdGordonthere was an idea for a triangle slider (like the volume display in the statusbar), but using up/down for it feels wierd
11:37:03JdGordonamiconn: i disagree... a list is just as fine-grained as a slider
11:37:08amiconnIf it's horizontal, its operation is inconsistent with the other settings, confusing blind users, or blind operation
11:37:39amiconnIf it's vertical, giving the extra information for precision looks horrible and takes a lot of screen estate
11:38:17jhMikeSmmmm....perhaps.
11:38:27amiconnJdGordon: A list may be as fine grained, but without also printing the numeric values, it's not as precise to operate
11:38:53JdGordonoh, anything we do would have to display at least the current value
11:38:57amiconnThat was btw one motivation of the rockbox port to the archos recorder v1 (!)
11:38:58JdGordonand shhould show min and max
11:39:06LloreanI still don't see why it needs to display a full list.
11:39:08JdGordonwhich was?
11:39:13bluebrotherwhy does a horizontal slider need left / right to change values? It's just a graphical representation of a value
11:39:17LloreanOr a slider.
11:39:24jhMikeSman, the archos is just going "cha-chunk, cha-chunk" trying to unzip a build to it. :(
11:39:38amiconnThe archos OF uses sliders, which are sort-of fine grained, but never reproducible, since they didn't show the numeric value
11:39:53pondlifeLlorean: I like that we have as few UI types as possible. Would prefer a list to a bespoke UI..
11:39:55JdGordonbluebrother: having a horizontal slider but pressing up/down feels very wierd
11:40:08Lloreanpondlife: When the user clicks on "Volume" it could just display "Volume: -27db" and scrolling or up/down could change the value.
11:40:13bluebrotherJdGordon: I disagree completely. It's just a graphical representation.
11:40:19amiconnSo you e.g. had to remember a bass setting like: "Between 3rd and 4th notch, a little right from the middle"
11:40:20Lloreanpondlife: Essentially mirroring volume operation in the WPS, except it's a volume-specific screen.
11:40:23JdGordonits also counter-intuitve
11:40:28amiconn(hope that's understandable)
11:40:34JdGordonif you see a horizontal slider, you instinctivly press left right
11:41:16JdGordonis there a fill triangle lcd function?
11:41:18pondlifeLlorean: I'd still prefer a single structure for all settings. Makes code simpler, makes blind naviagation simpler. Although your proposal would be identical blind I guess.
11:41:26amiconnJdGordon: In the plugin lib there is
11:41:37JdGordonsmall enough to put in the core?
11:41:44amiconnWhy would we want that?
11:41:46jhMikeSeasy to get a HD for a player?
11:41:51Lloreanpondlife: It would be identical blind to the current implementation, and I thought numeric lists were already declared differently in the code (and this would pretty much be useful for any numerical list), though I could be wrong.

11:45:22pixelmaJdGordon: the Nano's display has a higher resolution than the H100's...
11:45:29JdGordonit does?
11:45:35bluebrotherJdGordon: iirc I extended that patch to auto-swap to a horizontal view once the space gets too less
11:45:41amiconnjhMikeS: Also, if you didn't use the player for a while, the batteries might be discharged
11:45:44Lloreanpondlife: I think some of us don't like the idea of the list being different ordered on different targets

11:45:57amiconns
11:46:03LloreanJdGordon: 176x132 for Nano, 160x128 for H120 if I recall
11:46:14pondlifeI would rather it was the best UI for the input device
11:46:28JdGordonLlorean: I disagree with that.. lists shuold be highr at the top for button targets, and lower at the top for wheel and player
11:46:29pondlifeOn a joystick, up = vol up makes sense.
11:46:42Lloreanpondlife: Well, if the list is actually displayed, scrolling clockwise to go "down" the list makes sense, and if lower values are down, no problem.
11:46:48LloreanOr rather, if higher values are down, no problem
11:46:54pondlifeExactly
11:47:07amiconnJdGordon: Sort of... depends on how you think of the volume setting
11:47:28amiconnBut with a directional cross, it does at least make some sense to have higher values at the top
11:47:31bluebrotherpixelma: that's indeed a drawback.
11:47:36amiconnOn wheel targets and player, it does not
11:47:51JdGordonthats what im saying

11:48:25JdGordonyes we dont agree

12:25:32Nico_Ppondlife: I'm not sure but there's a chance
12:25:39pondlifeAh, one more thing - the buffering is a lot more relaxed now compared to SVN
12:25:51JdGordon[20:23:58] <amiconn> euh <- was that to the typos or the patch?
12:25:54pondlife(it's very obvious in the sim)
12:25:56Nico_Ppondlife: which means ?
12:25:57amiconnthe typos
12:26:02JdGordonok :)
12:26:47pondlifeNico_P: It means that playing an unbuffered track is rarely seamless with a 2 second crossfade on
12:26:57pondlifeSVN buffers faster
12:27:10pondlifeI suspect you've just got to play with sleeps a bit
12:27:36amiconnWhat's crossfade? :P
12:27:54pondlifeIt's something on those new-fangled SWCODEC targets :p
12:27:55jhMikeSif any issues exist with kernel object speed those will be resolved in not too long
12:27:59JdGordonI didnt check with crossfade on, but had no noticable gap (no bigger than svn anyway) skipping to an unbuffered track on my sansa
12:28:05Nico_Ppondlife: what case is that in ? skipping to an unbuffered track with corssfade on ?
12:28:28pondlifeYes, but crossfade isn't needed ... it just makes it obvious as I'm used to it being seamless.
12:28:48pondlifeYou may need a slow-ish target to see the difference.

12:52:14 Part ddalton
12:52:19Nico_Pbut audio didn't start
12:52:53*Nico_P feels a little overwhelmed...
12:53:01Nico_PI should note things down
12:53:06*pondlife knows that feeling
12:53:26pondlifeWe need to have a little reserved bit of Flyspray for MoB...
12:53:41Nico_Pmaybe it's time to open a task
12:54:11barrywardellhow do people feel about displaying the rockbox logo in the bootloader (mainly sansa for now)
12:54:26GodEater_badly usually
12:54:33barrywardellwhy?
12:54:34GodEater_it was removed from the Gigabeat bootloader for example
12:54:47GodEater_the feeling is the bootloader should do nothing more than is necessary to boot
12:54:57GodEater_at least, that was how it was explained to me
12:54:59barrywardellI think that was different, it loaded the logo from a file, didn't it?
12:55:09barrywardellI'm talking about a compiled in logo
12:55:10amiconnyes
12:55:12GodEater_it did yes
12:55:31amiconnI now think that a compiled in logo makes sense, but then it should apply to all targets
12:55:56amiconnHowever, there's a problem for colour targets where the bootloader resides in flash: the logo is quite big
12:56:05barrywardellI have made the changes necessary for e200 and it works fine, no noticable slowdown
12:56:14amiconnOn H300 the bootloader probably won't fit with the logo built in
12:56:40barrywardellamiconn: ah, how much space is available?
12:56:45amiconnMy idea was to introduce compressed bitmaps for colour targets, and decompress
12:56:58amiconnIirc it's 64KB, and the bootloader already uses 40-ish
12:57:08amiconnThe logo is ~29KB for H300
12:57:23Nico_Pamiconn: maybe a full screen logo isn't necessary
12:57:35amiconnNico_P: A jumping logo would look very odd
12:57:46Nico_Phmm that's true
12:57:49barrywardellthat's not full screen, it's just the same one shown already on normal boot
12:57:49amiconnEither the same as what rockbox shows, or none
12:58:09amiconnbarrywardell: Yes, but that's already 29KB for a screen width of 220 pixels
12:58:32barrywardellyeah, gigabeat is ~94KB
12:58:37amiconnFullscreen would be 76KB
12:59:04barrywardellhow quick is the compression you were thinking about?
12:59:04amiconnI tried ucl compression on the logo (just using the .o), and got it down to ~8.5KB
12:59:17 Join rjg [0] (n=robert@proxima.lp0.eu)
12:59:30amiconnThe cut-down ucl decompressor needs ~1KB of code
13:00
13:00:37amiconnDecompression is quite fast. I didn't measure on cf or arm yet, but on 11MHz SH1, decompressing ~200KB takes less than a second
13:01:14amiconnAnd since ucl decompression uses bitshifts, it should be faster on cf and arm...
13:01:23barrywardellthere's also a problem on PP that the bootloader currently needs to fit inside IRAM
13:01:56amiconnI would expect the logo decompression to take around 50ms
13:02:06amiconn(on H300)
13:02:17amiconnVery coarse estimation of course
13:02:19barrywardellthe ucl code is already in svn?
13:02:27barrywardell50ms is very acceptable
13:02:33amiconnyes
13:02:55amiconnThe ucl compressor is also in svn, built for all archos targets
13:03:15 Quit RockBox ()
13:03:19amiconnThe stripped-down decompressor only supports compression method 2e, and only a single block
13:03:19barrywardellhttp://pastebin.ca/737347 <-that's my patch without compression
13:03:49 Join safetydan [0] (n=safetyda@rockbox/developer/safetydan)
13:03:51amiconnSo the compressed data must be made using uclpack −−2e −−best, and must not exceed 256KB
13:04:03amiconn(the −−best is optional)
13:04:19barrywardellthe stripped down one is in firmware/decompressor?
13:04:45jhMikeSbarrywardell: why do we need to fit it into IRAM? If we don't load RB, any DRAM can be discarded. Of course some things might need setting and resetting to load retailos.
13:05:10barrywardellthe first thing the bootloader does is copy itself to IRAM
13:05:19amiconnYes, and in flash/bootloader/bootloader.c
13:05:39amiconnIt's the very same function
13:05:52jhMikeSsure, but nothing says that _has_ to be the case. I can't see any reason to stick to that.
13:06:31barrywardellamiconn: thanks, I'll look into that
13:06:56barrywardelljhMikeS: but then loading the code to dram will overwrite the currently executing bootloader
13:07:27amiconnbarrywardell: Maybe it's a bit too early to do that now. It would be easier after introducing bitmap headers
13:07:39jhMikeShasn't it loaded rockbox already and then it jumps to whatever fw is picked?
13:07:52jhMikeSthe rockbox bl more accurately
13:08:30barrywardelljhMikeS: no, it copies itself to IRAM, then loads either rockbox or of the DRAM_START
13:08:38barrywardellamiconn: are they planned?
13:08:41amiconnyes
13:09:30jhMikeSbarrywardell: ah, so we're first and then we run OF bl or rockbox fw?
13:10:06barrywardellno
13:10:37barrywardellcurrently it runs OF bl first, then Rockbox bl, which then either loads OF or Rockbox to DRAM_START and jumps there
13:11:02***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
13:11:09amiconnbarrywardell: In fact compressed bitmaps would make sense on colour targets in main rockbox too, for large, infrequently used logos
13:11:12jhMikeSright, so then we only put parts of the rb bl that can be overwritten when no longer needed. A bitmap image should only be needed once.
13:11:16amiconnRockbox logo, and usb logo atm
13:11:54barrywardelljhMikeS: yes, true. the bootloader could me modified to work like that
13:11:59amiconnbarrywardell: We could run from dram, load OF or rockbox into a buffer, and then only have a tiny copy-and-run routine in iram
13:13:22amiconnThat's what RoLo does, on SH1 and coldfire at least.
13:13:56amiconnLoad the new firmware into dram, and then call a small iram function that copies the new fw into place (overwriting the old one), and runs it
13:13:58jhMikeSIf we want we could try to lock it in the cache. Gigabeat can do that and perhaps PP. Needs poking sessions.
13:14:24amiconnColdfire can also lock cache lines
13:14:32amiconn(icache only of course)
13:14:52barrywardellyes, all good options. but the current bl works and if aint' broke...
13:15:04amiconnBut why fiddle with that if we can use iram?
13:15:06jhMikeSI think gigabeat may require that for a RoLo
13:15:30amiconnGigabeat also has iram. Even if it's tiny, it should suffice for things like rolo code
13:15:34jhMikeS...if it ain't broke...make it less broke :)
13:15:37barrywardellif the bootloader grows bigger, then it will be necessary
13:17:22amiconnOkay, buffered writes shorten the execution time of instructions writing to gpio by 6 cpu cycles
13:17:27jhMikeSamiconn: I'm aware of that. I'm under the impression there was some trouble with it.
13:17:54amiconnHmm, but pcf i2c still seems to glitch...
13:18:04jhMikeSamiconn: as opposed to what?
13:18:16amiconn?
13:18:33jhMikeShow many cycles was it before?
13:18:41amiconnDepends on the instruction
13:19:38amiconnThe atomic bit manipulation (and.l / or.l) needs 21 cycles with unbuffered writes, and 15 cycles with buffered writes
13:19:54 Quit FOAD ("I'll be back")
13:21:16jhMikeScould buffered writes cause changes in the GPIO level to have bursts of fast activity?
13:21:58barrywardellwhy is an .o file ~1/3 the size of the corresponding .bmp?
13:22:29jhMikeSit's the native format?
13:22:45barrywardellah, yeah
13:23:24amiconnShould be 2/3 for 16 bit targets
13:23:42amiconn(assuming 24 bit bmp)
13:24:35jhMikeSwell starting with a small-sized 32-bit .bmp with a big BITMAPINFOHEADER to a native 16-bit color format with no header could easily go to 1/3
13:24:39barrywardellyeah, two thirds, I read wrong
13:24:50barrywardell19677 vs 28566
13:25:11amiconnThe bmp header is fixed size, and rather small
13:25:12barrywardellI was looking at the wrong .o file

13:37:04Zagorand even just the teddybear effect might
13:40:28pondlifeNico_P: Do you need to wait differently if it's the same file, or another? I'd think that if lots of buffering is needed, it's not th end-of-file that should determine breaks...

13:42:12pondlifeMmm, midnightbeerfeast
13:42:14Nico_Ppondlife: prior to this commit, the buffering loop would stop everytime an event was recevied. if the event was Q_BUFFER_HANDLE for the same handle, it's a waste of time to break the loop, only to call buffer_handle again for the same handle
13:42:26pondlifeAh, ok
13:42:41Nico_Pthat's why this check is here
13:42:41pondlifeI assumed it would carry on buffering while there was buffering to be done

14:44:07pondlife:)
14:44:14pondlifeWhy?
14:44:28Nico_Ptoo many bugs ;)
14:44:34pondlifeI suspect you've already fixed one of them
14:44:42Nico_Pwhich ?
14:44:52pondlifeThe hard-lock with long tracks
14:45:02pondlifeCan't repro in the sim
14:45:12Nico_PI was just about to say I didn't have it on my gigabeat
14:45:13pondlifeAbout to update my H300
14:46:19pondlifeMight be dircache related?
14:46:36Nico_Ppossibly
14:46:47pondlifeI have that enabled
14:46:54Nico_Pme too
14:46:57pondlifeAh, ok
14:47:19pondlifeNo, still locks up on H340
14:47:55pondlifeI'm using "Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada" for my test tracks there if that helps..
14:48:24pondlifeBut any two MP3s that total >= buffer size should do
14:48:49Nico_PI'm trying to repro with exactly that setup
14:49:14Nico_Pwell not the same test tracks but two bit MP3s
14:49:50Nico_Ppondlife: how long in the second track do you skip backwards ? and do you have playlist repeat enabled ?
14:49:51Zagorbarrywardell: sorry for running away. yes usb_drv_int() does get called, for ep0 and reset and everything. it just doesn't get called for ep1 (the bulk endpoint).
14:50:48Zagorhence I suspect an error in the transfer descriptor setup. but i've gone over them dozens of times, and I'm not seeing the error.
14:51:03pondlifeNico_P: About 8 seconds into each track.
14:51:10Nico_Pok
14:51:11pondlifeRepeat: All
14:51:44pondlifeI think the playlist reshuffle issue's been fixed...
14:51:51pondlifeBut I keep getting hard locks...
14:51:54 Join nicktastic [0] (n=nick@unaffiliated/nicktastic)
14:53:03pondlifeAlso the new build has a slient moment shortly after playback starts...
14:53:18pondlifei.e. it plays the first 3 seconds, then pauses while buffering
14:53:43pondlifeMaybe I should put my config/WPS up somewhere?
14:54:08Nico_PI don't think it's needed
14:54:21pondlifeWell, just in case you can't repro
14:54:31pondlifeCrossfade might be required
14:54:38Nico_Pah I'll try that
14:54:44pondlifeIt's locking up on every skip now
14:54:54pondlifeEven when there should be no buffering
14:55:22Nico_P:(
14:55:25pondlifei.e. Start playback of an album, wait for HD to spin down, then skip forward one track :(
14:56:10Nico_Pouch I just experienced the audio cur after three secs, but only with whit enoise
14:56:31Nico_Pit only happends with crossfade enabled
14:57:24preglowwe use dma for audio on x5 too, yeah?
14:59:19amiconnLooking a lot better now :)
14:59:30pondlifeHmm, not heard whitenoise yet..
14:59:32*amiconn wonders how that timing mess had worked
14:59:33Nico_Ppondlife: have you rebooted your player ?

15:00:18pondlifeAnd again!
15:00:32amiconnjhMikeS: I some cases we did flipped SCL twice in succession, without any delay besides the instructions itself
15:00:32pondlifeIt locks up just playing now
15:00:39amiconn*did flip
15:00:54pondlifeNico_P: Last night's code played pretty well for hours this morning.
15:01:40Nico_Ppondlife: you seem to attract bugs
15:01:49pondlifeIndeed.
15:01:56pondlifeThat's a skill of mine, I feaer
15:01:59pondlifefear, even
15:02:12pondlifeI can repro a crash in the sim now, just gdb-ing
15:02:13Nico_Pcrossfade is working quite well here, apart from the whitenoise issue
15:02:16barrywardellZagor: those descriptors look fine to me
15:02:18Nico_Pcool
15:03:04Nico_Ppondlife: the whitenoise seems to occur only when crossfading to a track that wasn't buffered
15:03:11Nico_Pooh, crash
15:03:35pondlifeSim message : failed to allocate space for metadata Postbuffer:2/5
15:03:47pondlifeIt refuses to play long track 2
15:03:50Zagorbarrywardell: I mean the internal transfer descriptors used by the chip to handle transfers. the ones set up with prime_transfer() in usb-drv-pp502x.c
15:04:11Nico_P"failed to allocate space for metadata" is normal, that's what tells us the buffer is full
15:04:20barrywardellah
15:04:25pondlifeYes, but it should still allow me to skip to the track, no?
15:04:46Nico_Pindeed it should
15:04:50pondlifeSkip back gives the same tagtree_unbuffer_event segfault
15:04:58pondlifeSo, maybe these are all the same problem.
15:05:19pondlifeBasically tagtree_unbuffer_event expects the metadata to be around, but id3 = NULL.
15:05:28Nico_Pdo you use database on sim ?
15:05:45pondlifeI have it enabled, but I was doing a file browse this time.
15:05:47Nico_Ppondlife: and could you pastebin the backtrace ?
15:05:55pondlifeYup, looks the same again though
15:06:08Nico_PI have http://www.pastebin.ca/737328 but the lines seem strange
15:06:25pondlifehttp://www.pastebin.ca/737437
15:06:59barrywardellZagor: but they're working fine for transferring the device descriptors
15:07:29pondlifeSeems like you're unbuffering the metadata before the callback... audio_clear_track_entries() maybe?
15:07:30Nico_Ppondlife: yeah, that's just a missing check
15:07:43pondlifeHmm, shouldn't need a check
15:07:53pondlifethe point of the unbuffer is to wave bye-bye
15:07:58Zagoryes. but those are transfered on endpoint0, which is of type control. mass-storage goes on endpoint1, of type bulk
15:08:02pondlifei.e. it shouldn't pass id3=NULL
15:08:15pondlifeThis is needed for the database run-time stats
15:08:25Zagoreverything works fine with ep0, but not ep1
15:08:39Nico_Ppondlife: on line 2335, tracks[last_idx].id3_hid can be == 0
15:08:47Nico_Pin that case bufgetid3 will return NULL
15:08:53pondlifeWhich file?
15:08:58Nico_Pplayback.c
15:10:17pondlifeThis happens when the track has already been unbuffered?
15:10:31Nico_Ppondlife: it probably never has been buffered
15:10:36pondlifeAh
15:10:39Nico_Pnot even the metadata
15:11:05pondlifeWell, that's fair enough then... I suspect that SVN rebuffers at that point
15:11:06***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
15:11:18Nico_Pthat's lousy code translation on my part. in the original code the check wasn't needed because metadata could almost always be assumed to be there
15:11:39pondlifeHmm, need to check all callbacks maybe?
15:11:54Nico_Pprobably.
15:11:57pondlifeIs there any point in doing a callback with id3=NULL ?
15:12:10Nico_PI doubt it
15:12:31pondlifeAh,
15:12:46Nico_PI think the fact it crashes kinda proves it :)
15:12:54pondlifeIf the metadata's not around, shouldn't it still have the pathname set up?
15:13:04pondlifei.e. an id3 structure should still exist.
15:13:29pondlifeI think that's how SVN works (from memory)
15:13:42Nico_Pthe metadata not being there means the buffer was so full there was no room for a struct mp3entry
15:14:01Nico_Pin SVN the struct mp3entries were static
15:14:13pondlifeThink of the initial display of next track info - often a WPS will display the next track filename if the actual title wasn't available...
15:14:26Nico_Pthat's handles by audio_current_track
15:14:30Nico_Phandled
15:15:10pondlifeI think we need to have an artificial struct for this purpose too. :(
15:15:22pondlifeNot sure how it can be achieved though.
15:16:09Nico_PI've pushed a preliminary fix

15:20:10pondlifeIt does seem odd that we're calling an unbuffer callback for a track that has either never been buffered, or already unbuffered...
15:21:20barrywardellZagor: it does receive on ep1 according to the logf. have you checked what it receives?
15:21:47ZagorI get nothing. what does the logf line say for you?
15:21:57pondlifeNico_P: Will test after lunch
15:22:00Nico_Ppondlife: I agree it's strange. I'm looking
15:22:03Nico_Pok
15:22:13barrywardelluprime 1(2)rx 10117040
15:22:45Zagorbarrywardell: that's the priming, i.e. assigning of receive buffer. that doesn't not mean it received.
15:22:47barrywardelljust after usb_recv 1 512 14V8V8
15:23:12barrywardell14B8B8
15:23:34Zagorwhat you want is "usb comp 2"
15:23:40barrywardellah, ok
15:23:42Zagoror what I want, anyway :)
15:24:25barrywardellso it sets up to start receiving, then doesn't actually receive anything
15:24:29pondlifeNico_P: Sorry, but that still crashes on H340.. :( Now I really must eat.
15:24:32Zagorbarrywardell: are you running this on e200?
15:24:38barrywardellyes
15:24:44Zagorbarrywardell: exactly. no receive interrupt for ep1

15:26:55peturamiconn: and the (very sporadic) eeprom corruption on h300?
15:27:12barrywardellZagor: do you know if the interrupt never happens, or does REG_ENDPTCOMPLETED just not get set?
15:27:15amiconnpetur: Is the eeprom hooked to the same i2c bus as the pcf?
15:27:28peturamiconn: I think so, yes
15:27:32amiconn(i.e. is it using the same bitbanging driver?)
15:27:36Zagorbarrywardell: good point, haven't verified that
15:28:01*Zagor adds yet more logf
15:28:17amiconnThe interesting thing is that these quirks weren't introduced with the asm; the C version has them too
15:30:59peturamiconn: I did however close FS #5412 because it was no longer reported
15:31:59amiconnI'll referify the timing (drawing diagrams), then check the pcf specs again. Perhaps the timing has to be done even more different
15:32:05amiconn*reverify
15:34:02barrywardellZagor: gtg now. I'll let you know if I spot anything
15:34:19Zagorok
15:34:51ZagorI found we get a crapload of "start of frame" and "suspend" interrupts I didn't know about. could be to something
15:35:44Zagors/be/lead
15:36:11barrywardellyou also don't check for bus reset when priming, dunno if that's important
15:36:56Zagorwe should do that, but it's not the problem here.

15:42:16RincewindNico_P: are you here?
15:42:20Nico_Pyes
15:42:38amiconnThe pcf driver in svn has several ill-timed spots. When sending, the GETACK SCL high pulse is too short. And when receiving, there are 3 problems in a transfer. (1) The SCL low pulse between START and INB is short. (2) ACK sends the SCL->high transition directly after setting the data line. (3) the SCL low pulse between ACK and STOP is short
15:43:18RincewindI tried to use your mob branch and I got a few conflicts. Your tree isn't up to date with current svn, right?
15:43:30Nico_PRincewind: no, not quite
15:43:53Nico_PRincewind: it's based on r buffer_callback
15:44:00Nico_Poops, I meant r15095
15:44:12Rincewindhm ok
15:44:34Nico_PRincewind: the raw text diff is here:http://repo.or.cz/w/Rockbox.git?a=treediff_plain;h=mob;hp=master;hb=mob;hpb=master
15:44:36Rincewindthen I have to make a branch based on this revision, and pull your remote branch in there
15:44:51Nico_PRincewind: are you using git ?
15:44:55RincewindNico_P: yes
15:45:07Nico_Phave you cloned my repo ?
15:45:33RincewindI cloned your repo, and used git svn rebase from then on
15:45:54barrywardellZagor: you could also maybe check ENDPTSTAT to see if the priming succeeded
15:45:57Nico_Pwell even though you've rebased, a simple git checkout -b my-mob origin/mob should do
15:46:38Zagorbarrywardell: good idea

15:51:43Nico_Pno need to pull after checking out (which is what you did with your first git branch call)
15:51:53Nico_Pthough it's strange you got conflicts
15:52:17Nico_PRincewind: was there some time before you did git pull ?
15:52:36Rincewindbut a pull shouldn't do any harm, either
15:52:52RincewindNo, only the time needed to type it in
15:53:20Rincewindnow a pull says 'already up to date'. It seems to be ok now
15:53:53Nico_PI have no idea why you got conflicts
15:54:47Nico_PRincewind: to be on the safe side in case I rebase, you should probably pull with git pull origin +mob:my-mob and then do git remote update
15:55:12markunZagor: do you know how I can setup a category for the wiki?
15:55:46RincewindI set −−track on the checkout, it should pull from your repo automatically.
15:56:40Rincewindif you rebase it gets messy, you're right.
15:56:46Zagormarkun: it's only search patterns. for example CategoryFrontpage is %SEARCH{"^CategoryFrontpage:.*\[.*Documentation.*]" regex="on" type="regex" nototal="on" nosearch="on" format=" * [[$topic]] - $pattern(.*?CategoryFrontpage:([^\[]*).*)" }%
15:57:00Zagorheh, "only". but you get the idea?
15:57:03markun;)
15:57:18markunWell, I did "view raw" and didn't see any of this
15:57:19Nico_PRincewind: I need to rebase from time to time... if you have tracking set up you might need to ass a plus sign somewhere

15:58:10Nico_Pmarkun: it's in the page you want to add the category items in
15:58:13Zagormarkun: CategoryPlugin is just an explanation. look at PluginIndex instead.
15:58:53RincewindNico_P: If this happens, I am sure that git knows a way to solve it. It is really amazing
15:58:57markunZagor: ah, ok
15:59:59Nico_PRincewind: it won't know what to do if I rebase, it'll only know if you tell it the branch may be rebase, and that's with the plus sign

16:39:01fedI am trying to get the simulator compile, but I keep on getting an error: /usr/bin/ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol
16:39:02markunbut they found out from experience that most of the people which don't do anything in the beginning don't do anything the rest of the time as well
16:39:23markunscorche|w: we should also have some kind of selection for our students
16:39:30scorche|wthe general theme is that they should follow the typical phrase "commit early, commit often"
16:39:35markungive them a simple task so we know they can do something
16:39:39fedI get this for many symbols. Any idea what I did wrong?
16:39:42linuxstbfed: 1) Did you apply any patches? 2) Try deleting your build directory, and building again from scratch.
16:40:13scorche|wone group had an online php test for their prospective students...many people quite liked that

16:40:37fedI did apply patches. I did try to rebuild and no luck. I try again without the patches.
16:40:58scorche|wi think at the very least, have a dev environment set up...other tests we cna figure out later if we wish for more
16:40:58markunlinuxstb: yes, what they did. We were thinking about having them modify a hello world plugin, compile it for a target and send us the .rock file
16:41:38markunI think all of their projects were a success
16:41:42scorche|was well, one thing that was highly beneficial was, one group emphasized having an intake interview with all students...either on IRC or skype

16:42:56scorche|wthey are looking at having more than one mentor able to be selected per student int he web app next year, but at least 2 mentors per student was nice as well
16:43:00markunthere were some projects which had a interview with the student using VoIP, but I'm not so sure I like that

16:44:24markunso that would have excluded me from text to speech
16:44:32linuxstbI don't understand that logic...
16:44:44markunI also didn't completely get it
16:44:50linuxstbIsn't open source all about scratching your own itches?
16:45:14scorche|wbecause then you cant objectively mentor the student...you want them to succeed so much, you make too many breaks and give them too many chances when they may not be doing anything
16:45:19markunlinuxstb: yes, but GSoC isn't exactly open source
16:45:26Nico_Plinuxstb: maybe you'd be tempted do do the work yourself instead of letting the student do it ?
16:45:33markunI mean, people get payed and have deadlines
16:45:39linuxstbYes, but we don't...
16:45:41scorche|whowever, i think it would be fine to ignore that if we paired 2 mentors up woth a student

16:46:04scorche|wNico_P: what i said above was their logic
16:46:12Nico_Pok
16:46:25markunI think most projects had some problems with people with poor comunication skills. I still don't know what to do with those.

16:47:39scorche|woverall...the big thing was, the whole purpose of GSoC is to get more long-term developers for your open-source project...i think that is a very handy thing to know, especially as we were wondering about their intent
16:47:44markunthere was also a lot of talk about svn vs git at the summit (and even the night before in the hotel)
16:47:51scorche|wwell, at least their stated intent ;)
16:48:08linuxstbmarkun: I think that's simply handled by having some strict rules stated at the start - e.g. to be available on IRC for at least X hours per day Monday-Friday.
16:48:21markunlinuxstb: yes, good idea
16:48:45scorche|wlinuxstb: yes...a thing about "our expectations for the summer of you" at the front was another thing that would be good
16:48:46markunand maybe a fixed time every week
16:49:22markunlinuxstb: overall I think we will be much better prepared next year, don't you think?
16:49:22Nico_Pa weekly status report can be done by mail IMO
16:49:40markunNico_P: of in the wiki

16:49:48Nico_Pyes
16:49:54linuxstbWould you want to mentor again?
16:50:01GodEater_I think it would be ideal (where possible) to ensure at least one of the mentors for each project is in a similar timezone to the student too
16:50:10GodEater_otherwise keeping up to date on IRC is very hard
16:50:23scorche|wmarkun: i definitely think so, and am planning on watching over it more closely next year
16:50:58scorche|wGodEater_: that may help, but there is always the 2 mentors per student thing for that...there will always be some overlap
16:50:59markunGodEater_: we could also have a #rockbox-soc wih separate logs
16:51:12markunbut maybe not :)

16:52:05scorche|wafter all, as they said, the main purpose is to get us new devs, so we should act that way :)
16:52:09GodEater_tellingly perhaps - they're the projects which did best
16:52:47GodEater_I think the test idea is a good one
16:52:59GodEater_although I think a hello_world plugin is a little trivial...
16:53:08markunlinuxstb: also, I think it's better to have non rockbox devs as students
16:53:15scorche|wwhat would you suggest?
16:53:32GodEater_scorche|w: off the top of my head I have no idea - it bears thinking about
16:53:52markunGodEater_: it's just to make sure they have a dev environment setup and can start working on their code
16:54:00scorche|wi think that would be a decent test
16:54:06scorche|wwe dont want to go overboard
16:54:15GodEater_ah well
16:54:18GodEater_perhaps
16:54:22 Nick idnar_ is now known as idnar (i=mithrand@unaffiliated/idnar)
16:54:31markunalso, if they are not selected by us they shouldn't have wasted too much time
16:55:03scorche|wthat test demonstrates that they can compile, can write code, etc
16:55:17GodEater_although the howto of the hello_world.rock ought to be pulled from the wiki in that case ;)
16:55:25GodEater_too easy to cut'n'paste otherwise
16:55:40scorche|wGodEater_: a modification of it to do something would work
16:55:50scorche|wnot necessarily just writing hello world

16:56:00GodEater_20 goto 10
16:56:03GodEater_:)
16:56:07markun:)
16:56:53markunperhaps we could just give them the hello world plugin as an example and ask them to use their imagination to make a nice plugin
16:56:59Tanuvayou would have to take the helloworld example offline for the time the studend should build that proof of dev-environment :D
16:57:15GodEater_isn't that what I just said ?
16:57:15scorche|wi dont see why we would..
16:57:37markunme neither
16:58:01TanuvaGodEater_: sure, I just continued that... argh, whats the word in english.. "the path of thinking"...
16:58:02linuxstbBeing able to find things in the wiki is a test in itself.
16:58:04markunif I would make a plugin I would also look at the code of existing ones
16:58:07pixelmawouldn't help much... with the google cache (if they are clever enough)
16:58:43GodEater_linuxstb: true enough :)
16:58:51linuxstbTanuva: "train of thought" ?
16:59:11scorche|wthis isnt about making hello world...this is just about seeing if they can modify code and compile....they can make the text green, or make it scroll around...anything, really
17:00
17:00:16Tanuvalinuxstb: yes, sounds good :)
17:01:00fedI get the same errors even now that I have done a new svn download into a new directory. This time, it didn't stop at the errors, it is still continuing to compile.
17:01:18linuxstbIIRC, ffmpeg had a few "qualification projects" for their SoC. For example, for someone developing a new codec, we could suggest they implement a codec that plays back raw PCM files (with a hard-coded samplerate, channels etc).
17:01:36GodEater_now that's a proper test
17:01:52*GodEater_ would need to do some serious googling to pass it
17:01:54linuxstbFor someone starting a new port, maybe get the simulator compiling...
17:01:58markunlinuxstb: we could start a wiki for next year and port our ideas there
17:02:03markunpost
17:02:17Tanuvalinuxstb: which is _really_ easy
17:02:30linuxstbTanuva: I mean the sim compiling for their new target.

17:05:49fedit looks like the errors I noted previously weren't responsible for the compiling to stop. The last error was /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _lcd_enable

19:06:02PaulJamamiconn: i think the button glitches are ( at least on H300) a hardware issue. see also here: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=5054.0
19:06:24amiconnYes, partially, but most probably not only
19:07:49amiconnpixelma tried my fix on her M5 (which used glitch a lot) before I committed it, and it improved things
19:09:31|Rain|n1s: 72 misses (r15111) -> 69 misses (r15112)
19:10:36n1s|Rain|: thanks, that is a much smaller improvement than for coldfire but at least it didn't get worse
19:10:53pixelmaPaulJam: I think especially with the X5/M5 joysticks people reported this effect as being stronger than in the original firmware (can't compare personally as I didn't use the OF long enough and there is no dual boot and not much motivation to put the OF back just for comparing this)

19:44:07GodEaterblame the manufacturers
19:44:13GodEaterthey don't want people running homebrew

19:44:49n1splayermodels are only available new for about a year and porting to a new platform often takes at least that long
19:44:55LimerrWhats up next, do we have to chip our mp3 players like we did with our xboxes?

19:45:55n1smaybe an open source friendly dap manufacturer turns up one day

19:52:08LearVideo vs Classic should be safe.
19:52:14GodEaterthe 5.5G is plastic on front, and metal on the rear
19:52:15rasherLimerr: also, the 6G is called "Ipod Classic"
19:52:24rasherThe 5.5 is "Ipod Video"
19:52:38Limerrso this should be safe https://www.datorbutiken.com/se/default.aspx?vat=true&Product=IPODVID80WH
19:53:06GodEaterLimerr: yes
19:53:09GodEaterthat's a 5.5G

21:23:20peturthe funny thing is, the comment above it says not to exit like that beyond that point ;)
21:23:25amiconnmpegplayer loads the video, then displays the menu, and when starting, buffers a second time
21:25:08bertrikalways distrust code/comments that tells you to do something without explaining why

21:34:19*amiconn thinks the menu shouldn't be there :/
21:35:21amiconnImho there should only be a resume request if the file was played before. If not, it should start playing right away
21:35:28maxkelleycontinuity would be nice.
21:35:36pixelmaand the introduced "Loading..." splash brings back the problem with using mpegplayer and voice
21:36:27pixelma(at least I saw it on the c200 again)
21:36:30amiconnI guess that's not due to the splash, but due to the voice disabling now being either in the wrong place, or even being reverted by roolku's commit
21:37:05pixelmathat was discussed on friday (IIRC)
21:37:47*petur has no use for mpegplayer anyway

21:51:59amiconnBuffered writes still have some quirks to be ironed out
21:52:02n1sJelemonde: you can open it with rockpaint but i don't think it supports images with larger res than the display
21:52:22amiconn(like pixel columns vanishing/duplicating on H1x0 and M5 when boosted)
21:52:22n1samiconn: impressive
21:52:30Jelemondei tried but it dont work so i cant open online with rockpaint?

21:55:15amiconnBuschel: Not yet, but I will

21:55:43bertrikOK, i won't mind experimenting a bit with that
21:55:57amiconnAlthough, for Video and Color they won't be usable as-is, as the update order can't be switched to dual-line zig-zag
21:56:23amiconnSo the chroma needs to be buffered for the second line
21:56:33Buschelamiconn: nevertheless, just wrote a comment to #FS 7951 about further potential in the asm-routines. maybe you could also take this into account

22:34:53*amiconn is pondering to commit buffered writes for coldfire
22:34:55dionoeaWell too late for testing :) it's commited
22:35:05markunamiconn: what's keeping you from doing so?
22:35:12amiconnSeems to work nicely now, with all sorts of I/O seeing considerable speedups
22:35:32preglowamiconn: ata?
22:35:40amiconnmarkun: I don't wnat to break something or cause instability
22:35:48markunjhMikeS: could the gigabeat benefit from write buffering?
22:35:48Aloneahow odd, you can't get an extended warranty if you get the combo with a free case...
22:36:06amiconnpreglow: Works, verified with my 300MB test file method at 124MHz on H180, H340 and X5
22:36:44preglowamiconn: any noted performance gains?
22:37:06amiconnI didn't compare ata performance, but there should be some
22:37:27amiconnI probably should...
22:37:29*amiconn is curious
22:37:38preglowwell, i think so... :)
22:37:59preglowanyway, if it's not too complictad and has no other side effects, i'd just say commit
22:38:01amiconnLCD profits considerably. lcd_yuv_blit() on H300 goes from 54fps to 75fps
22:38:04preglowbut sure would be nice to have some performnac efigures
22:38:20preglowwow!
22:38:34pixelmawhat I wanted to say ;)
22:38:42amiconnH300 lcd_update() doesn't profit, as that uses DMA. On X5, lcd_update() profits too
22:38:48preglowoh, that reminds me, i should check out bushel's newest lcd_yuv_blit patch
22:39:02amiconnIsn't that just C?
22:39:13pixelmapreglow: Buschel is around at the moment...
22:39:55Buscheljust added some comments on the yuv-sutff
22:39:57Buschel*stuff
22:40:23amiconnI'll do an ata perf comparison on coldfire, then commit buffered writes
22:40:39preglowhe is indeed!
22:40:45amiconnAfter that, I'll take a look at asm idct for mpegplayer on coldfire
22:41:15amiconnNext will be lcd_yuv_blit() in asm for H10
22:41:27preglowBuschel: did you ever hear anything more from moos?
22:41:43amiconnThen color/video. After that, I'll play with the color lcd bridge.
22:41:48Buschelpreglow: he tried to contact me yesterday. but i missed him
22:42:19amiconnThat second colour should be colour ;)
22:42:58amiconnblah
22:42:59preglowamiconn: be sure to make the asm easily portable to nano :P
22:43:11amiconnpreglow: color and nano share a driver
22:43:49amiconnBut if we can't determine what the type 0 color lcd controller is, it might be useful to split them, and make the Nano driver more similar to H10
22:44:16amiconn(Nano is always type1, i.e. HD66789R, which is known)

22:48:25GodEaterfirst buffering is good
22:48:30GodEaterbetter than svn I'd say
22:48:39Nico_Pok so it's in the rebuffering somewhere
22:48:41Aloneabertrik: ^__^. My gigabeat only takes a couple hours to charge most of the time. probably about the same.

22:50:35dionoea(except for the player ... but it's not like anyone cares)
22:51:06Nico_Pnice... better usability with less code :)
22:51:35Buschelpreglow: do you have any news from moos?
22:51:36pixelmamarkun: didn't you swap the gigabeat buttons so that usually "Power" is used to quit plugins (not "A"?
22:51:42amiconndionoea: You forgot to bump the plugin min api version...
22:51:45bertrikAlonea: battery is 750 mAh and max charge current is 500 mA, so yeah something like a few hours sounds reasonable

23:22:13jhMikeSkkurbjun: ok, thanks. Then all that can be collapsed down to #ifdef PP502x

23:23:34Buschelbertrik: as far as i understood, yes. maybe i should just post a untested patch there?
23:25:09dionoeaNico_P: nope. Should i check if it still happens?
23:25:19[IDC]Dragonbluebrother: I'm working, our headquarters are in Sunnyvale
23:25:29bertrikBuschel: I think i can fix it myself without a patch. Amiconn: do you think it's useful to test it?
23:25:30dionoeaNico_P: I think that the list display refresh i added might have fixed it

23:26:20bluebrotherso the iphone is not the reason ;)
23:26:28[IDC]Dragonnope
23:26:44[IDC]DragonI was never up to one, actually
23:27:09[IDC]Dragonbut I learned it has WLAN and is good for a couch browser
23:27:31pixelmaBuschel: just pointing out that amiconn is talking about the c200 Sansa and maybe you mean the e200?
23:27:32[IDC]Dragon(I almost got an iPod Touch instead)
23:27:36dionoeaNico_P: done.
23:27:51bluebrotherso ... when do you start porting Rockbox to it? ;-)
23:28:14[IDC]Dragonwhen that guy comes back with the datasheets ;-)
23:28:28Nico_Phasn't an exploit been found to run homebrew on the iPhone and iPod Touch ?
23:28:37[IDC]Dragonyes
23:29:20[IDC]Dragonit would be nice to go without iTunes
23:29:31[IDC]Dragonthis software sucks
23:29:41Nico_Pis there any chance of it being remotely applicable to the nano 2G and later ?

23:30:54[IDC]Dragonmediocre
23:31:17[IDC]Dragonresulting in a real mess
23:31:38Nico_PGodEater: do you remember of a time when buffering wasn't as slow ? I'm thinking of bisecting
23:31:51[IDC]Dragonmaybe there are better 3rd party iTunes import tools
23:34:19bertrikah I see, I should modify lcd-as-memframe.S, right? It has the exact same code sequences
23:35:25Buschelbertrik: just added the patch...
23:35:55Nico_Pamiconn: I just looked, in an SVN sim, sizeof(struct track_info) == 1268. 32 times that is 40576. Divide that by 24 (which is sizeof(struct track_info) in the MoB code) and you get 1690.
23:35:57bertrikBuschel: i have a e200, not a c200 ....
23:36:37*bluebrother gets quite tired all of a sudden and wonders why
23:37:11Nico_Pamiconn: so I'm thinking maybe I could set MAX_TRACKS to 256 or maybe even 512 but that already seems way overkill to me
23:38:12Buschelbetrik: hmm, i think the patch could be ported... but not today. gotta got to bed now, will be a long day tomorrow :/
23:39:06Buschelbertrik: the code sequences seem to be the same at a first glance
23:39:33bertrikindeed, the dithered version seems different though
23:39:35amiconnNico_P: I think it should depend on the amount of target memory then. And of course the buffering code needs to handle the case that the IDs are used up before the whole buffer is filled
23:40:28Nico_Pamiconn: it does, I checked today. It stops buffering nicely and rebuffers when needed
23:40:30bertrikI'll try just the undithered version then. Mpegplayer should show it if works, right?
23:40:38amiconnok
23:41:01Buschelbertrik: yes. but it's easier to test with the test_fps plugin
23:41:07Nico_Pamiconn: and yes, for now MAX_TRACKS is 32 on lowmem targets and 128 on others. We'll just need to find good comprimises

23:41:30bertrikBuschel: sorry, not familiar with that plugin, is it in the standard set of plugins?
23:41:54amiconnI'd use 4 per MB RAM, with a lower limit of 16 tracks
23:42:19amiconnThat'd be 64 for X5 and M5, 128 for most other targets, and 256 for the 64MB ipod video
23:42:53amiconnArchos will get 16 when switching playback engines later
23:42:53Buschelbertrik: you will have to enable it in apps/plugins/sources via adding the line "test_fps.c"
23:43:03amiconn(due to the set lower limit)
23:43:07bertriknever mind, i get assembler errors
23:43:31Buschelbertrik: :/
23:43:40Lloreanamiconn: SPCs are always 64kb, if I understand correctly, so it'll be known that if someone shuffles a collection of them you can fit four times as many as the limit you just suggested.
23:43:48bertrikhttp://pastebin.ca/737957
23:44:03amiconnBuschel: Note that the c200 and e200 code don't use the same asm routines yet; c200 only has the non-dithering variant atm
23:44:19Lloreanamiconn: I was thinking maybe we could use them as a lower limit for software codec targets.

23:45:17jhMikeSamiconn: things seem much better with the joystick. no glitch yet
23:45:23amiconnThe advantage on c200 will be that dithering will come for free, fps wise

23:46:08jhMikeSsay what?
23:46:56jhMikeSso the load now is basically just decoding
23:47:34amiconnyup
23:48:10bertriktoo many bits in constant i think
23:48:43jhMikeSThe framerate there on ED is much better. I didn't measure. Too obvious.
