00:02:38WalterEgomarkun - You gotta love a greetings that means something like "did you eat well today?" ... :D
00:03:26markunWalterEgo: you are refering to a greeting common in beijing, right?
00:04:32 Quit midkay ("Leaving")
00:04:37WalterEgoWell, I know nothing of Mandarin but I've been told that's about what 'ni hao' meant.. With the 'ma?' being the more intimate version.. But I may be totally mistaken. :p
00:05:41markunWalterEgo: "ni chi le ma" is a way of greeting which literally means "have you eaten?"
00:05:56markunni hao ma = "you good?"

00:28:17*preglow tries to think of how to make a decent limiter without too much lookahed :/
00:28:46Davide-NYCohh ohh what for you thinking about making a limiter?
00:28:54*Davide-NYC excited
00:30:37preglowDavide-NYC: mainly to be able to listen to very silent stuff, like .spc files
00:31:03Davide-NYCoh, not a live limiter for recording
00:31:05preglowlimiter is probably the wrong word, thinking more about automatic gain control
00:31:10preglowdunno why i said limiter :/
00:34:29LloreanIt'd be nice to figure out some way to level out SPC files to match replaygained music
00:35:31 Quit ]RowaN[ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:35:38preglowthat'd require realtime replaygain processing...
00:35:44Davide-NYCI gotta run. amiconn, I'm going to test while on the train. If I discover anything I'll let you know.
00:35:48preglownot impossible in any way, btw, but don't know i care

00:36:24LloreanJust like, for formats like SPC, where most of the songs are the same amount of "quiet", the ability to add a pre-amp by-format or something.
00:36:34preglow*shrug*
00:36:40preglowi'm thinking agc so i can just enable it and stop caring
00:37:08preglowtracks that have silent parts and louder parts will suffer, but i can't think of any better solutions
00:39:02LloreanAaah
00:40:30preglowi'm thinking a simple thing that smoothly adjusts the volume to the desired level, while quickly limiting the gain factors if clipping is detected on the output
00:40:45preglowthat last might be tricky since clipping doesn't happen until late in the dsp chain, though
00:41:22preglowhmm, no, that should be doable
00:42:28*Llorean wonders if Foobar can write SPC metadata.
00:42:44preglowi really don't want to use any lookahead to smoothly vary volume if clipping will happen since that'll need a largish buffer which will need runtime allocation
00:42:55preglowthe spc format DOES have a gain factor in the metadata, but i don't tihnk too much uses it
00:43:06preglowand i don't want to require people to preprocess their files for use
00:43:21LloreanI was just thinking for my own use, there.
00:43:26jhMikeSpreglow: you're saying SPC rippers don't set it?
00:43:35LloreanYour feature would be useful for other formats too, anyway.
00:45:45*amiconn would like to see a better resampler :/
00:45:47 Quit obo ("bye")
00:46:09preglowamiconn: me too, but i can't be bothered
00:46:12*jhMikeS would prefer to hear a better resampler :p
00:46:22amiconnhehe, of course
00:46:27preglowmuch work, will need tons of optimizing and tuning
00:46:37preglowand: i will almost never need it
00:46:58preglowi'm keeping a steady eye on that speex resampler
00:46:59preglowit looks pretty good
00:47:21preglowjmspeex says it's pretty fast, but even that will be tons slower than the one we have now

00:48:40preglowhahah
00:48:42preglowender strikes again
00:49:56*amiconn considers this low level optimisation stuff a major part of the fun
00:51:40preglowi consider it fun to a certain degree, but it really depends on what i'm doing
00:52:29*jhMikeS just wants to get the scheduler updates committed and worry about some size or simplicity issues later. Some size increase on all to add robustness and responsiveness to everything and keep the API somewhat unified.
00:53:35preglowwell, go on :>
00:53:40jhMikeSthis stupid delta table make me too neurotic and there's probably better things to save bytes on anyway rather than compromizing integrity
00:54:50jhMikeShehe. it's one of those you need to be on standby about if there are problems but it's been run on all the ipod variants so issues might be minor at best.
00:56:20jhMikeS...at worst? eh, I think the point is understood.
00:56:35preglowdid kkurbjun check out the mini1g packed i2s stuff?
00:56:48jhMikeShe said he would later
00:57:35jhMikeSI'd like to reduce that stuff to #ifdef CPU_PP502x already :P

01:04:59preglowsounds good
01:05:16preglowhow much slower would you expect the sw implementation to be? noticable at all?
01:07:03jhMikeSmeasureable in tests - not noticeable for playback. straight-up queue_sends run at about 75% the speed of the SWP version. ~46000 vs. ~61000 per second.
01:08:14jhMikeSthose weren't gotten from a pure test loop either...there was checking that data echod back from COP was correct.
01:08:48toffe82I try a svn update and the answer is Skipped '.' , what is wrong ?
01:10:05preglowi would expect it to be measurable in tests, yeah
01:10:19toffe82ignore what I said :)

01:15:41jhMikeSsomething like that
01:16:01preglowwell, the sh targets are the only ones where we should really care much
01:16:26 Quit mark__ (Remote closed the connection)
01:17:32jhMikeSall swcodec gets the fancy sync objects too. but I want certain things like thread waits and creating threads frozen to be unified or else things will get awkward with too many api variations. SH might even save bytes by using more advanced things.

03:23:06scorchethere is, but autoop is discouraged on freenode, and i agree with that

03:39:28meoblast001does anyone know a good place where i can find rockbox themes for Sansa c200
03:39:37jhMikeSlostlogic: normally a good thing indeed :)
03:39:42meoblast001i know its newly supported but i know some site has to have a few
03:40:04meoblast001i could only find 1 on the whole internet
03:40:08lostlogicspecially since my build is a little bit special (no tagcache, no dircache, codec on COP and codec has no yields)
03:41:50Soapso, jhMikeS - what are the implications of your commit?
03:42:06jhMikeShopefully not a mob with torches
03:42:20meoblast001i guess not... ok ill bbl
03:43:16SoapI've been reading a lot of your conversations prior to this commit - and I'll admit, as a layman, I'm not 100% sure what differences a user should expect to see...
03:43:27lostlogicusers shouldn't see any yet :-P
03:43:30jhMikeSYou can use COP threads just like threads anywhere else using queues, mutexes, and whatever safely...and a general speedup for all things. The playback engine and other things can use it freely.
03:43:58JdGordoncan threads swap between cores?
03:44:02jhMikeSyes
03:44:08Soapso you've only opened the door?
03:44:40jhMikeSat the moment yes. to include a playback rewrite to enable it now would be going way too far.
03:45:09psycho_maniaccould somebody please explain the new big comment in svn? something about mulitcore support.
03:45:15Soapok, cool, that's what I was ASSuming looking at the diffs, but I wasn't sure.

03:54:34webguest34so far on my H10 20gb with the new build, the only major difference I've noticed is Brickmania having a smooth framerate while music is also playing
03:54:36lostlogicwow man, this is a huge body of work you've done.
03:54:50webguest34before, Brickmania was jerky while music was playing
03:55:17lostlogicIIRC nothing is actually running on core2 at this point in the official builds.

04:00:00lostlogicmeoblast001: rockbox WPSs and themes are pretty easy to make, I suggest making your own that suits your needs
04:00:08lostlogicmeoblast001: if it's not on our wiki WPSs page then no.
04:00:33jhMikeSnow that thread.c is cozy 2595 lines, I'm sure I'll get to hear later endless lectures on complexity :)
04:00:47meoblast001lostlogic: whats the difference between a theme and a wps?
04:00:50lostlogicjhMikeS: my statement huge body of work was code for a lecture :-P
04:01:17lostlogicmeoblast001: a theme changes font and color and other system attributes, a wps is just a layout for the while playing screen
04:01:18jhMikeSI _try_ to do as little as I can while meeting my goals.
04:02:01meoblast001lostlogic: is there a way to get the layout (like the battery) to appear everywhere on the system... i dont like the default
04:02:07jhMikeSBut really I'd rather 1% of the code support simplifying the other 99%
04:02:08lostlogicno
04:02:27meoblast001lostlogic: was that no to me?
04:02:32lostlogicjhMikeS: yeah, better to have the complexity in the kernel where few have to work on it
04:02:36lostlogicmeoblast001: yes
04:02:51lostlogicjhMikeS: it's definitely harder to read thread.c now :(
04:02:59psycho_maniaci have a question. now i have 3 folders in my networking thing. this happend after my last svn up, i now have filesystem, and homes, what is this?
04:03:01meoblast001lostlogic: should i request that feature?
04:03:13jhMikeSI was hoping the comments helped somewhat? no? Maybe it should be split?
04:04:13lostlogicmeoblast001: doesn't make sense to me to have a customizeable status bar outside of the WPS, but request anything you want :-P
04:04:25meoblast001k
04:04:40lostlogicjhMikeS: yeah, it's understandable, I just always have some difficulty mentally ifdefing ;)
04:04:43webguest34Question - in the database uner "A to Z" - why isn't there a subfolder for "Track"? - It would be much easier to search for songs by title if they were sorted in folders marked A to Z
04:05:19Mouser_Xlostlogic: Well, it would be nice to see a few things. Time, date, perhaps battery, outside the WPS screen (I thought there was a theme that did that though?)
04:05:36lostlogicMouser_X: the status bar shows those things... ...
04:05:43Mouser_XAh, well then.
04:05:49lostlogicI thought meoblast001's question was about customizing the status bar
04:05:54Mouser_XI guess I either missed them, or my theme removed them.
04:06:05Mouser_XSorry.
04:06:32lostlogicjhMikeS: I'm definitely stil lreading though, specially since I'm such a bystander these days ;)
04:06:39meoblast001lostlogic: my question was about being able to customize features like the battery icon outside of the now playing window
04:06:47meoblast001if thats what your wondering
04:06:52lostlogicmeoblast001: ok, cool.

04:28:47jhMikeSugh, left a whole bunch of NOCACHEBSS stuff that's really not nescessary. :\
04:29:50meoblast001lostlogic: if themes only do colors and stuff... how is mine able to do linear colors.... thats generally not a color related thing
04:30:05meoblast001although it is colors
04:30:18SoapI don't think lostlogic said "only"
04:31:31meoblast001so can it change the generic black battery icon?
04:31:40Soapthemes can address all the eyecandy of rockbox - from icons, to backdrops, to pretty gradient selector bars, to colour-by-file-extension, to WPS screens, to colours in general.
04:31:52SoapWPSs are the While Playing Screens.
04:32:12meoblast001so is there anyway to change the bar at the top of my screen with the battery and the time and the volume
04:32:53SoapDo you mean the default status bar at the top of the screen? IIRC the status bar itself is NOT current themeable, except by a tracker-hosted patch.
04:33:06Soaps/current/currently/
04:33:24meoblast001whats a tracker hosted patch?
04:33:41scorchea patch hosted in the tracker :)
04:34:04meoblast001do you know where one might be that allows me to do this?
04:34:24scorcheas the name says...int he tracker
04:35:17meoblast001???
04:35:22SoapWhat I ment by "a tracker hosted patch" was a patch, that while unofficial - and currently deemed unworthy of inclusion into "mainstream" Rockbox, nonetheless is hosted in the official patch tracker (flyspray) and not floating around in the ether on somerandombody's website.
04:36:49kkurbju1jhMikeS: Ipod Mini G1 packed I2S works :)
04:37:35CalcipherI really am amazed at how well all these things work together, the rockbox dev community is definitely good at what it does
04:37:57kkurbju1I changed the define to CPU_PP502x, do you want me to commit it?
04:38:11SoapMy suggestion would be to search flyspray with the keywords "status bar", and expand out from there if you do not find what you are looking for. That being said - I am not aware of one of the "Unsupported Builds" from the forum grouping of the same name which are using this patch...leading me to believe that it is hopelessly out-of-date. tdtooke has been doing a very impressive job of...
04:38:11CalcipherRight now I'm using the rbutil on my E280r with speech enabled, and some new larger fonts
04:38:12Soap...keeping all the rejected eyecandy patches current, and if he hasn't done so with this one - it either still works, or it might never work again. Calling this one a macro, scorche?
04:38:21scorchehell yes

05:11:13webguest42i just want to know what files i need to get in order to run doom on my ipod video
05:11:18***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
05:11:27krazykitthe wiki tells you what files you need
05:11:45krazykiti followed the wiki and doom worked no problem.
05:13:01webguest42ya ive downloaded it but do i just extract it to the ipod and the file will find its way or where do i put it
05:13:33webguest42?
05:13:35krazykitthe wiki tells you.
05:13:58krazykitit specifically tells you where to put each file

05:24:09krazykitwebguest42, no, you don't need prboom. all you need is specified in the wiki, which, at minimum, is 2 files.
05:25:26webguest42ever since i installed rockbox on my ipod it seems to consume more battery life than with the normal apple firmware why is that?
05:26:39krazykitbecause, as is discussed several times in the forums, it's not known how to put some of the hardware to sleep and other power-saving modes.
05:26:47psycho_maniacNo work has yet been done to optimise power consumption on other models.
05:27:11Lloreanpsycho_maniac: that's a lie.
05:27:23psycho_maniacwell i got that from the wiki
05:27:37LloreanWhere in the wiki does it say *no* power optimization has been done?

05:28:04LloreanMy question still stands
05:28:08psycho_maniacin the ipodport wiki page.
05:28:12webguest54can someone pls tell me if there are any other alternatives to rockbox? I want to play flac files on my 80g video ipod. I gather that rockbox will not run on it from discussions i have read on the forum....
05:28:46Lloreanpsycho_maniac: It's certainly not on that page
05:28:56psycho_maniacalright then
05:29:02Lloreanpsycho_maniac: And the IpodStatus page says "more work could be done" which very clearly requires that some work has been done.
05:29:10LloreanI'd very much like to know which page you got it from so that I can correct it.
05:29:22webguest42ok doom still doesnt work it loads to the first level then it just freezes as soon as the level starts the controls dont work. i have installed all three files that the forum told to install and it still doesnt work. is there something that im missing?

05:29:46krazykitwebguest54, which 80gb ipod? if it's a 5.5g ipod, rockbox will run on it. if it's the ipod classic, you're out of luck, as no 3rd party software runs on the device.
05:29:53Lloreanwebguest54: Rockbox runs on All HD based iPods except the "iPod Classic" recently released
05:30:33webguest42its the 5.5 released in late 2006
05:30:57alienbiker99then rockbox runs on it
05:30:59Lloreanpsycho_maniac: That's actually in reference to a very specific set of fixes made to 1st through 3rd generation, whoever wrote it managed to phrase it very poorly
05:31:05webguest54i am not sure about the latest classic but I bought mine in HongKong 4 months ago
05:31:07webguest54thx
05:31:17 Quit eigma ()
05:31:40psycho_maniacthen why is it under 4th gen and higher?

05:32:59webguest54what is a 5.5g ipod?
05:33:14webguest42its the 80 gig video released in late 200p
05:33:20webguest422006*
05:33:32webguest54oh ok...then i may be in luck
05:34:22CalcipherExcuse me folks, I have a quick question for anyone using the sansa e200 series players and rockbox
05:34:35psycho_maniacask it
05:35:17CalcipherOh and also on the windows platform, I just wanted to know what the most compatible non annoying program for transfering and maintaining music on the player is
05:35:42CalcipherI just got one today and got it rockboxed, I never even installed the cds
05:35:51DogBoyany file manager you choose to use
05:36:42CalcipherI was going to use Winamp 5, but I noticed it reads the player as USB mass storage L: and K:
05:36:44krazykitCalcipher, i do it by hand, personally, but i hear good things about mediamonkey's sync options. winamp and foobar probably have plugins for this too
05:37:12Calcipherhmm
05:37:31CalcipherOh and winamp was just dropping folders on the root
05:37:38Calcipherso thats not very organized
05:37:59 Quit webguest42 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
05:38:45psycho_maniaccorrect me if im wrong, but you can play FLAC files in rockbox?
05:38:53krazykityes, you can
05:39:16krazykitthere's a codec page on the wiki for reference
05:39:35psycho_maniacyes i looked at that.
05:39:35CalcipherNow I'm wondering if setting the player on MTP mode will make it more compatible with winamp 5, but will this cause problems with rockbox?
05:39:44psycho_maniacwebguest54: you can play FLAC on rockbox. so what is the problem?
05:40:05krazykitCalcipher, shouldn't cause problems, as long as the files get on there.
05:40:10Calcipherrockbox is fuckin amazing, so many formats supported
05:40:47Mouser_XYes.
05:40:57Calcipherah ok, then I'll give it a try, sounds like I may have to switch back to msc mode if I want to add stuff to rockbox
05:41:07Mouser_XIt's why I have a portable player now (the formats I use are rather wonky to most players.)
05:41:53krazykitCalcipher, just note that in MTP mode, only Sansa-supported files can be transported, so not vorbis, flac, etc
05:42:09JdGordondont use mtp
05:42:39CalcipherSo what I have been doing since installing rockbox is turning the player off then connecting to the USB
05:43:04webguest54psycho_maniac....I was asking if rockbox runs on my ipod....now i found out that my ipod is a 5th generation 80gig ipod with video that was made late 2006...so, I guess it runs rockbox...and I am ready to study the manual etc
05:43:12Calcipherthen it loads the original firmware and quickly goes into docked mode with the usb transfer image displayed
05:43:44Calcipherso to get into the normal firmware I need to hold down the left button when booting correct?
05:43:58krazykityes

05:44:35webguest54another question for you seasoned guys:
05:45:02webguest54once i start using rockbox is it goodbye to Itunes? or can i have both running on my ipod? thx
05:45:11 Join Lambuntu [0] (n=bleh@wbr-2310.student.iastate.edu)
05:45:25Mouser_XYou can, but Rockbox won't use iTunes database at all.
05:45:36Mouser_XNor will it be able to play the DRM stuff.
05:45:53DogBoywhat drm stuff
05:45:56DogBoyhehe
05:45:56krazykitwebguest54, if you choose to sync with itunes, you MUST use the rockbox database to play music
05:46:25krazykitDogBoy, the itunes music store purchases, except the more expensive drm-free ones
05:46:26Mouser_XOh yes. I forgot. Itunes *mangles* the filenames.
05:46:44webguest54thx krazykit
05:46:51DogBoykrazykit, I was kidding, I refuse to buy that stuff
05:51:38webguest54thx to all for your answers...really appreciate it
05:52:56CalcipherCan I ask what I might be avoiding by not using MTP mode, I noticed a large amount of forum posts all over mentioning the player working with winamp and WMP10 and 11 easier
05:54:09alienbiker99you cant transfer ogg and flac among others to use in rockbox
05:55:05Mouser_XI don't use Winamp to transfer files. I use Windows Explorer, and simply dump the files where I want them.
05:56:03Mouser_XYou could do the same (though, depending on how you have your music setup, there might be something that's more useful to you. Mine is a mess, so it's probably better organized on my Gigabeat, than it is on the PC).
05:57:54CalcipherI see, well I was just looking to use my normal music player to do all my music tasks, I don't have much music in other formats other than mp3 so I don't mind not having that ability in MTP mode
05:58:44CalcipherI get the feeling theres more to avoiding MTP mode than just the music file types limitation, when dealing with a rockbox set up
05:59:25alienbiker99its the limitation of files that can be transfered

06:00:38Calciphereven if no changes were made to the music?
06:01:17JdGordonyep
06:01:33JdGordonwe know how to stop it for 3 OF verions
06:01:37JdGordonversions.
06:01:45CalcipherI'm brand new to the player, so I don't know if theres a sleep or power save mode, instead of powering off to avoid the loading time
06:01:47JdGordonbut the later ones changed their system so it doesnt work anymore
06:01:58JdGordonno sleep
06:02:01JdGordonjust poweroff
06:02:47Calcipherdamn bastards, and I bet the other additions to the newer OFs are worth having?
06:03:03*JdGordon wouldnt know...
06:03:12JdGordoni only use the OF for usb
06:03:32Calcipheractually that doesn't happen in rockbox
06:03:45Calcipherso your right its no so bad if its only for USB transfers
06:04:03CalcipherHey why do you suggest I stay away from MTP mode?
06:04:13JdGordonbecause mtp sucks
06:04:28CalcipherSeems like it would make using the player with certain programs smoother
06:04:42alienbiker99then use it
06:04:57Calcipherdoes the SD card still show up when your in MSC mode?
06:05:11JdGordonyes
06:05:21Calcipherso then I can add random non supported formats to the sd card probably

06:15:21webguest54thx scorche...i will
06:16:38webguest54also, is there a specific mp3 player that rockbox runs better than on anything else?
06:17:48krazykitdepends on what features you want, really

06:21:59webguest54krazykit...i was used to minidisk players....i want crystal clear music...i may be crazy but this is what i like and i have not seen an mp3 player able to do this....flac files sound great on my pc...if i could do the same on the ipod that i have that would be nice....but then i am open to suggestions...gigabeat oh yes
06:22:32krazykitwebguest54, http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/BuyersGuide
06:22:37Mouser_XThe iPod is not the player you want then. I've heard from many people that its audio hardware is terrible.
06:23:09scorchewell, that also depends on your headphones...
06:23:36Mouser_XHowever, I've heard many people say that the Gigabeat sounds really good, and very clear (I'm not one to ask. I don't pay attention to those things. I'm just saying what I've heard.)
06:23:58Mouser_Xscorche: I have $15 earbuds.
06:24:02Mouser_X:P
06:24:14krazykiti've been happy with the sound quality on higher-end phones

08:23:17amiconnQuite a big red delta :(
08:23:42amiconnjhMikeS: The delta for SH1 is larger than what you got because it's not only binary size change
08:24:01amiconnIt's (binary_size_delta + ram_usage_delta) / 2
08:24:13amiconnHover over the cell to see the details
08:24:35jhMikeSamiconn: I figured that out after a closer look. I do think it's a good deal more than it should be as well.
08:24:51amiconnjhMikeS: One reason for the increase is probably the extra argument to create_thread() (the flags)
08:25:12amiconnNow it has 5 arguments on SH instead of 4, meaning it is now a stackparm function...
08:25:43amiconnWhat are those flags used for, btw? I've only ever seen zero when looking at the diffs...
08:25:47jhMikeShmmm....I was under the impression that SH used 8 regs for regparms
08:25:54amiconnNo, it uses 4
08:25:58amiconnr4...r7
08:26:02jhMikeShmmm...
08:26:15amiconnIt has 8 scratch regs though, r0..r7
08:27:06jhMikeSa) to extend functionality without adding more parameters. b) right now there's a flag that keeps a new thread from actually running until you thaw it. This functionality is rather small itself.
08:28:36amiconnWhy introduce functionality that isn't used (unless you have plans to use it *soon*)?
08:28:39jhMikeSI had thought about just using a struct that can be statically initialized and just a pointer passed to create_thread. Probably would save size and be less awkward.
08:28:57jhMikeSI do have plans to use it. playback.c is already using it.

08:33:34amiconnI don't think having a struct instead of several arguments will save code size. Then the struct needs to be filled with values instead of the stack
08:35:47amiconnHmm, if the struct is pre-filled (static const) it might. Maybe that should be tested...

08:38:07jhMikeSnot the thread structs. switch_thread itself.
08:38:15amiconnah
08:39:00jhMikeSdual core _must_ have them in IRAM of couse. switch_thread should be there as well because cache fills could throw off the time-critical cop/cpu mailbox code
08:40:31jhMikeSI realized this little thing later anyway.
08:40:45amiconnWell, on single core it doesn't make that much sense to have it in iram. Thread switching is used constantly, but the time spent in there is way less (or at least should be) than in the actual application code
08:41:19amiconnSo the precious iram should be saved and used for tight, time critical loop stuff
08:41:49jhMikeSfar, far, less, yes though data is more commonly accessed than any particular function
08:42:22amiconnOn coldfire it makes sense to keep the thread structs in iram as it has no data cache, but on SH I would probably even put the structs in dram
08:42:46*amiconn will need some spare iram soon(ish) on SH
08:43:26jhMikeSI did arrange them to be both packed and aligned by sorting member size so no gaps should exist within them.

08:53:57jhMikeSJust extreme caution
08:54:56 Quit midkay ("Leaving")
08:55:49jhMikeSJdGordon: if you kill a cop thread from the CPU in Debug OS Stacks, the main thread hops to the COP to kill the thread and hops back. that's just a minor use though.
08:56:20JdGordonthat sounds reasonable
08:57:28amiconnHmm, codec thread is on cpu still...

08:59:28JdGordonscrolling doesnt work though
08:59:34*JdGordon assumed that thread was self contained?
08:59:54amiconnScrolling has a tick task that sends messages
09:00
09:00:25amiconnAnd accessing the framebuffer from both cores is a bad idea
09:00:45JdGordonyeah, i tihnk ive seen some artifacts because of that presumably
09:01:19jhMikeSplayback need some real thread sync before you can plop codec on COP
09:03:07jhMikeSlcd drivers can be secured. really mutexes are fast now and should really be used. spinlock should become a dual core true spinlock which can be used to sync interrupts and threads on both cores at the same time.
09:04:01amiconnlcd would have to flush cache all the time...
09:04:15amiconnAnd we don't want the framebuffer to be uncached for sure
09:07:21jhMikeSwell, it can be accessed as both. even switched by changing the base on the fly if some plugin wants to use it that way.
09:07:49amiconnI cannot imagine why we would want that
09:08:01amiconnUncached access is slower by factors
09:08:45jhMikeSmpegplayer didn't seem to suffer for using the uncached address
09:08:58amiconnFor code I measued a factor of around 7 iirc
09:09:20amiconn(running a tight loop from sdram with cache disabled vs. cache enabled)
09:09:24jhMikeSI think MrH's experiments revealed code is far more imporant to cache than data.
09:09:44chris_mtby uncached do you mean writing directly to lcd_framebuffer?
09:10:03amiconnNo, writing to its uncached alias address
09:10:04jhMikeSlcd_framebuffer + 0x10000000 vs. just lcd_framebuffer
09:10:56chris_mtso which one is cached? i used lcd_framebuffer for a patch to the ines port but it would be great to speed it up further
09:11:24***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
09:12:45jhMikeSlcd_framebuffer is cached
09:12:59chris_mtI see.
09:13:01chris_mtthanks.
09:13:51chris_mtI haven't looked at the driver code - does this then get moved to the real frame buffer in batches?
09:14:54jhMikeSin whatever rectagle is specified by lcd_update_rect. it's not batched.
09:14:55amiconnColdfire buffers so incredibly fast compared to PP...
09:15:13jhMikeSH10 is horribly slow at buffering
09:15:45amiconnjhMikeS: small h10 became a lot better due to the fast lcd driver, especially when using a wps with peakmeters
09:16:19amiconnI think the peakmeter fps needs to be adjusted to the target's lcd. Slow lcd updates needs less fps in peakmeter, or it will take forever
09:16:27jhMikeSbig H10 took forever since I've had the thing.
09:17:00amiconnBuffering on 2nd gen with default wps takes almost one minute with default wps, but around 20s with iCatcher
09:17:07jhMikeSwe must be leaving some clock running too slowly
09:17:17amiconnOn small H10 I now get 20-ish seconds even with peakmeter
09:18:19amiconnBut on both H180 and H340, buffering takes around 6 seconds for mp3...
09:18:46jhMikeSsounds reasonable. about 12-ish on big H10 though
09:18:58amiconnI think we will get close to that when we can put codec on the cop
09:19:16amiconnI think what we see here is just the difference in mp3 decoder efficiency

11:24:36amiconnThe mechanical wheel on 1st gen draws quite some power when enabled (12 mA)
11:25:00amiconnIt is switchable (via gpio).
11:25:35amiconnSo we just enable it for a short time every tick in order to check whether it moved, and only keep it enabled when it moved

11:31:35amiconnThe wheel needs a minimum time to get stable readout after enabling it

11:31:57barrywardell
11:32:09amiconnMy tests got stable readings after 20..30 us. I settled for 50 us to be on the safe side
11:32:19amiconnThat's the 0.5% - 50 us per tick
11:32:25barrywardellso I think I can either just include the shift and shift all values in powermgmt-h10.c correspondingly
11:32:26jhMikeSyou'd think some kind of hall-effect sensor would have been used
11:32:31barrywardellor forget about the shift altogether
11:33:34jhMikeSamiconn: does OF just poll it?
11:33:49amiconnI didn't check, but I doubt it
11:34:08amiconnFor getting the actual movement, polling would always be too slow
11:34:22amiconnWe use interrupts for this
11:34:34barrywardellthe h10 scrollpad sounds similar, but we know when to enable it because a gpio bit gets set
11:35:18amiconnPolling misses steps when the wheel is moved fast, and then it loses direction
11:35:43amiconnWe had that before I switched to using interrupts... which required to stabilize clock scaling (sic)

11:38:22amiconnjhMikeS: yup, exactly that thing...
11:38:26barrywardellpll disabled gives steadier readings
11:38:58amiconnI don't mean stability, but what situation gives a zero reading when the input voltage is zero
11:40:40barrywardellyeah, I know. but if it's more unstable with pll disabled, then maybe it gives a wrong zero reading too
11:40:58amiconnhmm
11:41:08amiconnI think we should apply it if it is a true offset

11:55:00jhMikeSyeah, I want my HVSC in one playlist
11:55:04amiconnHow many files fit there depends on average dirname/filename length
11:55:25amiconnCheck dircache status in the debug menu to see how much is taken
11:55:34pondlifeSo dircache quietly fails?
11:55:42jhMikeSuse 8.3 filenames internally?
11:55:51amiconnIt fails, but then tries to scan every boot
11:56:20amiconnjhMikeS: No, that wouldn't work reliably

11:57:02pondlifeHmm, indeed, it's not working here ion sim... but no sign of a scan taking place either
11:57:05pondlifeon sim
11:57:54amiconnI don't know what dircache is supposed to do in the sim
11:58:07pondlifeSame as the target, I'd have thought
11:58:16jhMikeSdoes dircache hold paths in a tree by component?
11:58:37amiconnjhMikeS: I think it does, but I'm not sure. It's Slasheri's work
11:59:17amiconnI have ~6800 files on my H180, and dircache takes ~430KB
11:59:57jhMikeSI wonder about other data structures that might effectively compress it nearly no overhead

12:17:56amiconnjhMikeS: Meanwhile I do, but only on targets with >= 32MB ram and slow spinup
12:18:20amiconn(the latter means that I don't use it on ipod mini, as its microdrive needs only 500ms spinup time)
12:18:52jhMikeSpreglow: you missed the party
12:18:59preglowjhMikeS: any fun?
12:19:13amiconnDircache doesn't help much when using directory talk clips though
12:19:42jhMikeSamiconn: I definitely wouldn't bother using it on sansa
12:20:13jhMikeSpreglow: lots of fun...except I didn't score so well :(
12:20:54ZagorYES!
12:20:55JdGordonthe only reason to enable dircache on sansa is for the auto update for database

12:21:13pondlifeZagor: gogogogogogo!
12:21:13amiconnpondlife: Didn't get any recently...
12:21:29amiconnZagor: What was the problem?
12:21:29pregloww00000t
12:21:33jhMikeSwooohoooo
12:21:33Zagorturns out the controller was picky about when the registers were inited. I couldn't do them all in the beginning.
12:21:44pondlifeamiconn: Just wondered, I never had that problem.
12:21:47amiconnAh, init order matters...
12:21:53JdGordoncongrats Zagor :)
12:22:01amiconnReminds me of the H300's otg controller...
12:22:20Zagornot only order, but I have to wait for the connection interrupt before configuring bulk endpoints
12:22:22jhMikeSa common afliction datasheets neglect to ever talk about
12:22:35pondlifeHmm, maybe we'll be revisiting the H300 OTG at some point.... ;)
12:23:02preglowZagor: much work needed to make this stuff work on ipods too?
12:23:12jhMikeSGigabeat supports OTG too.
12:23:21amiconnjhMikeS: The data sheet in fact mentions those limitations, but it wasn't very clear. In case of the OTG controller it is that not all status transitions are valid
12:23:29preglowjhMikeS: thunderbird labeled your commit mail as spam :P
12:23:33markunjhMikeS: well, USB host at least
12:23:35Zagorpreglow: I don't know what/if the differences are. those with the same controller should need very little modification
12:23:41amiconn...and if you try one that isn't allowed, it's simply not executed...
12:23:45jhMikeSpreglow: ummm...it's probably right :P
12:23:46markunnot sure if we can do the OTG auto negotiation
12:23:51preglowZagor: i thought most of the usb stuff was on the pp chip
12:24:01Zagoryeah I mean those with the same pp as the sansas
12:24:20Zagoror perhaps all PP work the same regarding usb. I just don't know.
12:24:26preglowi don't expect they've changed that too much
12:24:30amiconnpreglow: On pp502x it should be all the same. Maybe the 5020 has a bug that's fixed in 5022 though
12:24:31jhMikeSmarkun: for gigabeat?
12:24:42*amiconn really doesn't trust pp anymore in that respect
12:24:43preglowamiconn: wouldn't surprise me...
12:25:09preglowat least we know what register accesses to look for in disassemblies
12:25:26amiconnpreglow: That would mean it should be easily ported to mini G2, Nano and Video. G4, Color and Mini G1 could be problematic, but hopefully just work too
12:25:28markunjhMikeS: yes
12:25:43jhMikeSmarkun: why not? (not that I know atm what that is)
12:25:54preglowthis will be so cool
12:26:00amiconnG3 is a whole different thing, as (1) the PP5002's internal USB controller is different and even (2) it's not used, because it would be USB1.1 only
12:26:15amiconnThe G3 has an external USB controller which is not (yet) known
12:27:15Zagorlunch
12:27:43*barrywardell congratulates Zagor
12:27:52markunjhMikeS: I'm not too familiar with OTG myself, I'll read up on it a bit

12:28:49amiconnyeah
12:29:11amiconnHmm, doesn't the gigabeat already have device support, as that is a hardware bridge?
12:29:25jhMikeSI think a good deal is just handled by the tetrahub from an i2c ROM and we just handle packet on target.

12:34:48markunperhaps a Gigabeat could be used as a USB sound card
12:34:51markunyes, sorry
12:35:09amiconnFor some reason I was thinking about the opposite - connecting a pair of USB speakers to a rockbox target
12:35:22markunwhy not :)

12:39:22*bluebrother still wants a coffee plugin *g*
12:39:25LloreanI guarantee we'll get feature requests for MTP at some point.
12:39:25jhMikeSadd that to the 3.0 realease TODO list
12:39:27maxkelleyYay drm!
12:39:40LloreanEasy syncing with WMP and other such things, and a host aware of the formats the DAP can play, etc.
12:39:54markunjhMikeS: maybe we should skip 3.0 and just release 4.0
12:40:04LloreanI think were MTP not so closed, it might not be such a bad idea.
12:40:18jhMikeSsure - 3.0 was a NULL release :)
12:40:34bluebrotherwenn do we release 3.0.1?
12:40:42jhMikeSafter 4.0?
12:40:49bluebrothergood idea.

12:42:10preglowdepends what you're used to

12:42:34bluebrotheroh, and I'm _desparately_ missing proprietary sound effects.
12:42:37Lloreanamiconn: With the proper host application, MTP "just works". You put your CDs in, say "Do your thing" and don't need to think. Perfect for people who wish they didn't own a computer, but want to listen to music anyway. :)
12:42:54preglowjhMikeS: wouldn't "View OS Stacks" be better renamed to "Thread list" or something now?

12:43:25amiconnYeah, thread list sounds better
12:43:30preglowwhat's this idle business?

12:45:13jhMikeSyou need to enable it in debug_menu.c
12:45:28preglowthink i'll just not do that, then
12:45:30jhMikeSpreglow: they're also the stacks used when switching cores

12:50:36preglowis rockbox capable of blocking on read(), or does it pretty much only block on queue reads?
12:50:58jhMikeSblocking on read?
12:51:25preglowlike other oses do when reading from a network socket, for example, i don't really know if we use read() for any fancy stuff or do stuff explicitely
12:51:29jhMikeSyou mean background I/O?
12:51:38Nico_PjhMikeS: are you intending to change the SVN playback code to make it use the new sync features ? It would be a waste of time IMHO
12:52:06jhMikeSNico_P: I only did things to be compatible there
12:52:44jhMikeSmutexes cannot be used in the manner they were for codec swapping. semaphores have to be used and are more proper for that.
12:52:45Nico_Pok

13:04:58Nico_Phow ?
13:05:00jhMikeSIsn't that called directly by many threads?
13:05:17Nico_Pyes, that's true. two threads could call bufopen at the same time
13:06:03Nico_Pcurrently the only user is the audio thread though
13:06:37jhMikeShow does the WPS get the metadata?
13:07:08Nico_Pin most cases it accesses the static struct for the current or next track
13:07:17Nico_Pin some cases it might use bufgetdata

13:08:59amiconn(all the way down)
13:09:34amiconnI think mac and msac are equally fast, and there is just a mistake in the timing table in the mcf52xx user manuals
13:10:20preglowjhMikeS says he's done tests
13:10:23jhMikeSI actually tried msac in the SPC codec and the boost change was quite high
13:10:23preglowi thought it was just a mistake too
13:10:48amiconneh? Really odd then
13:11:08preglowit's really weird if that is so, it's pretty unheard of in dsp circles for those two to have different timinig
13:11:12amiconnmac.w, mac.l, msac.w are all listed as single cycle
13:11:13jhMikeSjust negating one parameter and using mac was faster. I could verify again by changin two instructions.
13:11:28***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
13:11:42amiconnand mac.w, mac.l msac.w and msac.l with parallel load are all listed 2 cycle
13:11:56amiconnOnly msac.l (without parallel load) is listed as 3 cycles...
13:12:54jhMikeSI'll check again and make sure nothing else factored in. I have a hard time accepting it myself.
13:13:19amiconnOtoh, the mcf5249 and scf5250 manuals agree on this... weirdo
13:14:03jhMikeSI'll make sure I try a full 8-voice SPC so that it gets a nice workout
13:14:17preglowwow, that new mpegplayer menu was annoying
13:14:17amiconnjhMikeS: Btw, the yuv conversion for cf also uses emac saturation for clamping
13:14:46amiconn(for quite a while now, but doing two-line zig-zag is even better :) )

13:16:42jhMikeSpreglow: I don't know why it shouldn't just play something like a normal viewer
13:17:04amiconnWell, if there's something to resume, it should ask
13:17:17amiconnBut _only_ then
13:17:46LloreanYeah, if there's a resume point, some button that's not "Select" or "Right" should cancel, and any other button resume.
13:17:51jhMikeSit should ask about resume when exiting if anything unless it plays to the end

13:24:17Nico_Ppreglow: excellent idea
13:24:25amiconnsafetydan: The graylib doesn't allow printing the fps the normal way while it's active, due to how it works
13:24:34Isolinearpreglow: That was my guess.. I say go for it. :)
13:24:41jac0bllorean: so posting the how-to in the wiki is better than posting in the forum?
13:24:44*preglow needs to learn to start finishing stuff
13:24:45amiconnThe fps would need to be printed using graylib functions
13:24:54Lloreanjac0b: Yes.
13:25:10Nico_Ppreglow: btw, maybe it would be possible to use the buffering API to store pictures in memory in advance

13:26:10preglowjhMikeS: well, why the hell not. if you've done your stuff correctly, there shouldn't be too much hardship involved :P
13:26:15jac0band how to put it together
13:26:16pondlifeHmm, mpegplayer is far from smooth on H300 sim.
13:26:46amiconnThe current graylib isn't that suited for moving content anyway, because (1) all the bit shuffling is slow and (2) the content change interferes with the greylevel generation mechanism, so it becomes grainy
13:26:52preglowonly cache stuff, lord oh lord, how i wish the cache snooped the bus
13:26:56jhMikeSpreglow: haven't had a problem myself with using it
13:27:03amiconn(not noticeable on H100 because of the dog-slow panel, but on others)
13:27:34amiconnI have plans for a way faster implementation with more greylevels, faster updates, and no graininess when changing content
13:27:39jac0bdoes anyone know if the gigabeat has a black front cover that is metal?
13:27:45jhMikeSand yeah, I hate that cache stuff. it's the worst part of this.

13:28:28amiconnpreglow: Ignore that patch, we'll go asm soon
13:28:34safetydanamiconn, I'm curious how you'd do that as I thought the current routines were as fast as they could get on the h120 lcd controller?
13:28:46preglowamiconn: how soon is soon?
13:28:57preglowamiconn: i don't see any harm in commiting it unless we're going asm tomorrow
13:29:09amiconnsafetydan: The controller output has nothing to do with that. I'l switch from using planar data to 2 arrays of byte-packed data
13:29:28amiconnOne holds the actual image, and the other holds the current phase for each pixel

13:49:06linuxstbIndeed
13:49:14Lloreanmarkun: I'll second the CameronSino thing, at least my H120 one had a runtime along what it should with its capacity, and the battery hasn't exploded yet. :)

14:39:48preglowMorey: only thing i feel strongly about is that i don't want a menu to appear when i would expect the thing to just start playing, everything else looks pretty good to me
14:41:00Moreypreglow: After the seek is moved to the play menu we should be able to just ask for resume (if a bookmark exists) on startup.

15:29:21preglowlinuxstb: remove them after people have had the chance to tweak them? there will be complaints...

15:29:38linuxstbi.e. so we can work out what they should be for all the different targets (assuming they will need to be different).
15:29:42pregloweither we remove them now, or with great difficulty later
15:29:58LloreanOr... hide them in debug?
15:30:02linuxstbpreglow: We're dictators - just put a comment in the commit message saying the settings are temporary... Or just remove them now...
15:30:25preglowideally we would have a dev tweak each target, then just use that as a hardcoded value in the commit
15:30:27linuxstbDebug menu might be a nice idea.
15:30:44preglowi don't really think so, i think we should at least _try_ to go hard-coded
15:30:45LloreanPut them in debug, and have the commit comment say "Settings can be adjusted in the debug menu, with the intent to choose a final value"

15:50:40Zagor|Rain|: I'm still interested in reading it from the card. this is supposed to be a multi-platform driver.
15:50:58preglowi think there are some makefile dep errors around with regard to lang file updates
15:51:07preglowi needed to make clean before the patch built
15:52:37preglowZagor: any guesstimates on when you'll be copying files to your sansa via your own usb code? :>

15:53:34*preglow crosses fingers
15:53:42|Rain|_Zagor: that's why I suggested just reporting what the OF does, although I doubt anything matches on that instead of the USB ID. I know it's supposed to be multi-platform, but you probably WILL want to match the OF USB ID, so you've probably already got some hardcoded platform-specific stuff
15:54:34|Rain|_Zagor: but I'm not against the idea of providing meaningful information, either (although −− what do you do for hotswap SD cards? the INQUIRY will probably only happen at device connection, unless I'm mistaken...)
15:55:04Zagorwe support hotswap already. and so does usb-storage.
15:55:05barrywardellZagor: the CID has product name string, manufacturer id, oem id, ... I think that's the best to use
15:55:28|Rain|_Zagor: yes, but the INQUIRY happens whether there's a device inserted or not, and I don't believe it happens again when media is inserted
15:55:29Zagorbarrywardell: do you have a link to a good spec? I only find partial ones.

15:58:46preglowouch, i think i've found a bug in dir browser limits here
15:59:52preglowif i set the max entry limit low, try to open a dir with too many, increase the max entry setting, then look at the dir again, all of the new files can't be used, plus the "open with" menu is clobbered

16:40:06pixelmait's already there in previous commits - sims that were built on 64bit machines if I see correctly. First occurance in jhMikeS' commit but since there were other warnings as well and the usual 2 in sim builds, it's hard to spot
16:40:24roolkuokie
16:40:54pixelmafirst I see is the H120 sim in the big commit
16:47:43Hammer89one other thing... does rockbox play m4a's?
16:48:13amiconnjhMikeS: Did you write the arm idct for mpegplayer, or is that something libmpeg2 already had, and we just didn't use it before?
16:48:33amiconnI wonder why it's asm-in-c instead of a proper .S file...
16:48:59preglowamiconn: do you plan to write asm versions of nano and video yuv blit too?
16:49:09amiconnyes
16:49:18preglowok, i will ignore that flyspray entry, then
16:49:25amiconnIn fact nano could use the same as H10 will, if we split out the driver
16:49:50amiconn(more efficient - doing the double-line zig-zag as already used for gigabeat, e200, and c200)
16:50:16amiconn...and also for X5 and H300, although that's of course different asm ;)
16:50:58amiconnColor could for the type 1 lcd, but not for type 0, unless someone finds out what controller that actually is and we find a datasheet
16:51:15preglowamiconn: btw, do you know anything about the limits menu? did those entries use to tell you that you have to reboot?
16:51:28amiconnyes
16:51:32preglowthen they are bugged
16:51:42preglowcurrently i get corrupted entries when making it bigger
16:51:43amiconnOr, rather they didn't tell
16:52:02amiconn...but the new value used to only apply after reboot
16:52:10amiconnThen someone messed them up
16:52:24preglowboth zagor an linus have put in uses of the .max_files_in_dir member
16:52:33preglowafaik that value should only be used on boot, yes?
16:52:54preglowtree.c does back it up to a separate variable, but other files don't see that
16:53:04amiconnUmm, I don't know the exact details of the implementation
16:53:26amiconnBut you're probably right, and the settings member must only be used on boot
16:53:38preglowanyway, right now the behaviour is messed up, if i increase the size, the "open with" menu gets seriously garbled, and new file entries don't work at all
16:54:05*amiconn is trying to get his head around idct :/
16:55:25preglowdo the yuv blit asm first :>
16:55:36amiconnnah
16:55:53amiconnWhich target(s) have worse video performance, coldfire or PP?
16:56:00preglowcoldfire, afaik
16:56:07amiconnexactly
16:56:43preglowi never tried playing a video on coldfire
16:56:51preglowand only do so on pp for testing
16:58:53preglowi'm quite confused by this stuff, some of the .max_files_in_dir use is pretty old
16:59:31pregloweither the code has been rewritten in funny ways, or this bug has been in rockbox for a good while
17:00
17:00:52pondlifeProbably a bit of both

20:31:14nicktasticrasher, Because it is a make error, not a compiler error
20:32:18nicktasticAdding a header or otherwise changing some code shouldn't throw make errors, excepting some weird auto-header-dependency-resolution madness
20:32:24bertrikI'm concerned about the *** No rule to make target line, not the modification time in the future
20:33:12LearWell, lang.h isn't your typical include file. It is generated during build.

20:35:44linuxstbbertrik: You can't include any .h files in plugins apart from plugin.h. If you want access to what's in lang.h, you will need to export it via the plugin API.

20:44:32bertrikIs there any support for internationalisation at all for plugins?
20:46:26 Part sin614
20:46:27markunbertrik: don't think there is right now
20:48:01Zagorbertrik: I'm still confused about this. Is every endpoint bidirectional? i.e. both IN and OUT endpoints can receive requests from the host?
20:48:43bertrikAFAIK, endpoints are always unidirectional, except for EP0
20:49:06bertrikI find the USB spec a bit vague on whether endpoint numbers or endpoint addresses need to be unique
20:49:20Zagoryeah that's what I have assumed all along, only both usbmon (linux kernel usb snoop module) and the imx31 docs conflict with this
20:49:21bertrik(endpoint address = endpoint number | direction bit)
20:49:53Zagor"if endpoint 3 (transmit direction) is configured as a bulk pipe, then we can expect the host will send IN requests to that endpoint."
20:50:21markunZagor: do you know where the pp specific code in the USB driver is and what needs to be written for the i.mx31 to get it working with the Gigabeat S?
20:52:43bertrikZagor: USB is basically a polled system, every transfer (from host to device or vice versa) is always initiated by the host
20:52:46 Quit desowin ("use linux")
20:53:00Zagormarkun: I think only the interrupt vector is pp specific
20:53:33Zagorbertrik: yeah I know. but I expected all request to come in at the same OUT endpoint. but they don't...
20:53:58markunZagor: and maybe some defines for the addresses of the USB hardware?
20:54:04Zagormarkun: ah, of course
20:54:18*bertrik is confused
20:54:32Zagorbertrik: guess what I am...
20:54:47markunbut if it's only that, then the Gigabeat S should have USB shortly after you got it working
20:55:22bertrikZagor: what kind of request do you mean?
20:56:09bertrikfirst packet of CBW?
20:56:27Avebtw, this diff here (http://pastebin.com/m7359de0f) , the stuff that makes people happy, see the difference between the speeds
20:56:43Aveis CPUFREQ_MAX used anywhere but as a label?
20:56:55Avebc the two changes arent same valued
20:57:13Avepll setup says 75 MHz whereas MAX 78
20:57:39amiconnThat patch contains at least 2 bugs
20:57:51amiconnThe one that you mentioned, and the actual pll setup
20:58:29Aveyeah that one is hairy so I cant even comment on that
20:58:44amiconnThe pp5022 pll must be run at >= 96MHz, and the post divider needs to be used for lower frequencies
20:58:52bertrikZagor: I'm not familiar with the freescale controller so I don't really know when you get an interrupt
20:58:56amiconnIt's actually not really dfficult
20:58:56Zagorbertrik: hmm, perhaps my problem is the reversed. I get the request on the OUT ep and writes my response to the IN ep, and that fails.
20:59:32bertrikOUT is from host-to-device, IN is from device-to-host
20:59:39amiconnAnd it's not a bug fix, it's just a workaround that sacrifices speed
20:59:50Zagorno, that's not it
20:59:57Avebut, that aside, it works for me as well, if only I also set MAX define to 75
21:00
21:00:27bertrikwhat kind of endpoint setup does the original firmware use?
21:00:34Aveso the pll control bit is just a divisor for the base clock running at 96 megs or such
21:00:49Zagorbertrik: same type
21:01:39 Nick bagawk_ is now known as bagawk (n=lee@unaffiliated/bagawk)
21:02:53amiconnAve: No, the base clock is 24MHz
21:03:05 Quit SirFunk (Remote closed the connection)
21:03:30amiconnThe pll can be programmed to produce an (almost) arbitrary frequency, using a multiplication and a division factor.
21:03:40amiconnThis frequency must be >= 96MHz on PP5022
21:03:58amiconnThen a post divider can be applied, dividing that clock by 1, 2, 4 or 8
21:03:59Aveok so the control word has a divisor and multiplier bits
21:03:59bertrikdo you have a link to the lsusb output of a sansa (sorry, no libusb installed on windows)?
21:04:31preglowZagor: yo, you have any idea how the limits stuff in the menu is supposed to work? you seem to have touched the code, and right now, the code uses the current value here and there without checking to see if there's actually enough room buffer_alloced
21:04:46Aveok that makes sense now
21:05:13amiconnYes, plus some more
21:05:20*bertrik is installing libusb-win32
21:05:54amiconnbits 0..7 are the pll divider, bits 8..15 the pll multilpier
21:06:08amiconnbit 20..21 choose the post-divider
21:06:26amiconnbit 31 enables the pll
21:07:05amiconnFor 75MHz cpu clock, you need to run the pll at 150 MHz, and post-divide by 2
21:07:40Zagorbertrik: I'll throw it up
21:08:02Zagorpreglow: as best I can remember they were to be used to the initial buffer allocation at boot.
21:08:09bertrikAh, the sansa DOES use two endpoint numbers, 0x01 and 0x82
21:08:31Zagoroh yes
21:09:41Zagormy sandisk usb drive does not, however. it uses 0x01 and 0x81
21:10:42amiconnPerhaps the PP usb has a limitation (read: bug) that using the same endpoint number for in & out doesn't work?
21:11:37preglowZagor: yeah, exactly, and the limits at boot where supposed to be used until next boot, right, not the current values?

21:20:36preglowyeah, what does ft_load really do?
21:20:43preglowit says it's dircache related, but it always gets called
21:20:50LearLoad a directory, I think...
21:21:21LearThat dircache is not the firmware/dircache.c, I'm pretty sure, but rather the internal buffer, allocated in tree.c...
21:21:27preglowahh, right
21:21:31preglowthen i got confused
21:21:39preglowbut yeah, i can't test right now
21:21:51preglowwill do later
21:23:30LearLooks indeed like the problem. It handles the name cache properly, but not the array pointing into the name cache.

21:23:47preglowin that case, i think this has been a bug for a long time
21:24:30Zagorthe first two lines show the sucessful reception and ACK of the INQUIRY command

22:05:29webguest43any ideas what could have gone wrong? im suspecting the bootloader, because the rockbox firmware is default so the ipod would try that first, then if theres a rockbox error it just stops loading at the apple screen. however, if i have the hold switch on while i reboot, it just halfboots then tries that again, and again, etc

23:14:16jac0bit says the F and S series
23:15:10toffe82perhaps it is a the same domension as the one of the S, so it fit on the F without problem
23:15:22preglowrasher: it should
23:15:39jac0bmarkun: should I make a topic parent?
23:15:41preglowrasher: $hashref->{'foo'} will also work
23:15:49preglowrasher: but $$hashref{'foo'} should be just as fine
23:16:02markunjac0b: maybe GigabeatInfo ?

23:29:50amiconnI'm probably confusing something here
23:30:25*amiconn is busy with cf asm
23:30:29rasherSeeing as their ids are written into the languagefile, it seems reasonable that oder doesn't matter, but I'm a bit afraid of digging into the language-loading code, so if anyone knew, that'd be helpful
23:30:48rasher(numeric ids, generated from the English language file)
23:30:57amiconnThe good news is that the asm function already decodes well... :D just move the dct block to iram now
23:31:29preglowamiconn: performance figures! :P
23:33:43rasherOkay, I'm pretty certain order doesn't matter. I'll not waste my time trying to retrieve the elements from the xml document in a specific order, then - something libxml seems unwilling to do, unless I'm missing something
23:34:07rasherlanguage_strings[id] = ptr .. That looks reasonable
23:35:07n1srasher: as long as the ids correspond to the ones in lang.c i guess you should be safe
23:35:39rashern1s: that should happen automagically, with any luck
23:36:36n1sthat caused a couple of fun bugs with the v2 conversion where the binary file got a gap in the ids so it got out of sync at a certain id
