#rockbox log for 2009-01-05

00:00:08new"you can't install themes please try it manually"...
00:00:17newoh sorry:)
00:00:59gevaertsnew: did you have a look at the manual? It explains all this
00:01:15newyes an FAQ
00:01:19newbut i can't see that
00:01:29 Quit solexx_ (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))
00:01:40saratoga2kugel: can the fuze just use the e200's keypad for jewels?
00:01:47kugelsaratoga2: I haven't seen a warning when I compiled, but I may overlooked it at the first time
00:01:48saratoga2new: r ead manual
00:02:04kugelsaratoga2: it does
00:02:19kugel+#elif CONFIG_KEYPAD == SANSA_E200_PAD || \
00:02:20kugel+ (CONFIG_KEYPAD == SANSA_FUZE_PAD)
00:02:23saratoga2can do
00:02:23newcould you give me link for it
00:02:29saratoga2rockbox.org
00:02:31saratoga2link is there
00:02:47 Quit gregzx (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:03:20saratoga2it would be nice if make would tell you at the end if theres any warnings
00:03:36saratoga2it can be difficult to catch them on faster machines since it scrolls so fast
00:04:57Unhelpfulmake &> build.log?
00:05:20Bagderand gcc -Werror ;-)
00:05:56kugelsaratoga2: oh, I didn't notice that part (the help texts are way down in the file)
00:06:11UnhelpfulBagder: that's another way, i suppose
00:06:15*kugel wants to point out again, that adapting plugins to new targets is a pain!
00:06:40BagderI often find running make inside emacs helps, as that shows warnings in a different color
00:06:50Bagderpossibly colorgcc thus is a good idea
00:10:03pixelmasaratoga2: I believe there is a patch for Fuze plugin keymaps in the tracker
00:10:19saratoga2pixelma: yes i'm about to commit it
00:10:34saratoga2who decides when builds are supported?
00:11:00Bagderwe ;-)
00:11:36saratoga2lets support the gigabeast
00:11:44saratoga2also do we have a name for "freddie"
00:11:57Bagderimo, it just takes a few devs who think so and I can make the necessary web/build site pokes

00:13:11Unhelpfuli'm content to use it without "support"... i think dualboot/uninstall takes care of everything we could expect for a "supported" player, though, right?
00:13:14saratoga2kugel: i'm going to email that guy and ask for his real name before I commit the patch
00:13:33saratoga2having it supported would be nice, and might encourage more people to work on the port
00:13:51saratoga2nico and mike could probably use some help
00:13:53 Quit bmbl (Client Quit)
00:14:24kugelsaratoga2: do that if you want, but I actually made it from scratch
00:14:38saratoga2kugel: oh ok then i don't need his name
00:17:43saratoga2kugel: i saw there were clip buttons too, how complete is the coverage for that target?
00:17:58kugelNo idea actually
00:18:12saratoga2ok i'll just say theres some buttons for the clip too then
00:18:22kugelbut it's pretty complete from what I've seen, and afaik plugins are enabled in svn
00:18:35kugeluhm, I didn't change clip buttons
00:18:49saratoga2oh i assumed those were patched when i saw them in there
00:18:51saratoga2thanks
00:19:08Unhelpfulkugel: i'd think not, because the yellow in my commit hit any target that builds pluginlib and isn't mono
00:19:26kugelsaratoga2: ehh, there's a hunk in jpeg.h which shouldn't be there
00:19:53kugelUnhelpful: ?!
00:20:16kugelclip is mono
00:20:42Unhelpfulkugel: yes, and i thought you were referring to fuze :/
00:20:52kugel:P
00:21:20Unhelpfulone of the few color targets i didn't turn yellow :D
00:21:33kugelsaratoga2: I hope you didn't hit the commit button already
00:22:56kugelyea, fuze doesn't have plugins
00:25:58saratoga2kugel: it builds them for me?
00:26:26kugelsaratoga2: with my patch, yes
00:27:02saratoga2kugel: so why shouldn't i commit?
00:27:54kugelthere's a hunk in jpeg.h which shouldnt be there
00:28:25kugelrestore "#define JPEG_SLIDE_SHOW BUTTON_REC" for the c200 keymap, then it's fine

00:34:11Bagderwe could use a manual too
00:34:25kugelnah :P
00:35:12pixelmathere already is a start of a manual for the beast (also an svg by aliask but that one has a bit of trouble)
00:35:55saratoga2technically we don't need a manual, at least the M3 doesn't have one
00:36:58Bagderbut then the M3 isn't in the 3.0 or 3.1 releases (partly or mostly?) because of that
00:37:20pixelma(I can't convert to all needed formats to included that graphic in pdf or the html version, I think I know the reason why and started an overhaul, halfway finished only though)
00:37:21 Quit Lynx_ (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:37:38Bagderbut I agree, we can claim it "supported" at any given moment now
00:37:57Bagderis there two other devs than saratoga2 that are in favor?
00:38:52moosBagder: you will not founs someone against, we are all for it, this port was usuable for long time now
00:38:57moosfound
00:39:01Bagdertrue
00:39:07Bagderso let's proceed
00:39:47kugelright now?
00:39:53Bagderis the S even visually similar to the F/X ?
00:40:06*kugel wants to participate in that ceremony :)

00:41:28kugelI'd take godzilla
00:41:34kugelthat fits beast best
00:42:03moosdummy rockbox maybe
00:43:39toffe82hte gigabeat S can now be officialyy supported, I found the update program :)
00:43:55toffe82http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/customersupport/
00:44:10Bagderploink, it's now present on the current build page
00:44:22toffe82search the mesv30 there is an iso file that contains the updater
00:44:31moostoffe82: good timing ;)
00:44:35toffe82yes
00:44:42Unhelpfultoffe82: seriously, *now*?
00:44:44toffe82I try it and it works
00:45:00toffe82yes official nk.bin available from toshiba
00:45:03Unhelpfulalso, isn't the mesv30 fw updater and nk.bin not the same as the beast on?
00:45:14moostoffe82: very nice
00:45:29toffe82try to download it
00:45:58toffe82the file is MESV12US.iso
00:47:11Bagderfront page updated too
00:47:11toffe82It is the official updater for the S series
00:47:19linuxstbDo we have a manual for the S yet, and things like bootloader and sendfirm downloads?
00:47:22moosBagder: cool
00:47:50jhMikeSkugel: yez?
00:48:03kugelbig party
00:48:03linuxstbAnd install instructions for Windows?
00:48:17toffe82jhMikeS: have you seen, I found the updater for the S
00:48:25kugeljhMikeS: the beast is going supported, we didn't you miss it

00:49:33*linuxstb thinks the "supported status" is a little premature but is apparently too late...
00:50:17Bagderthere are two reds in the table...
00:50:17mooslinuxstb: those reminding things could be done relatively fast :)
00:50:44kugelwow
00:50:49kugelhow did that happen
00:50:55linuxstbmoos: Yes, and then we announce it's supported...
00:51:03Bagder'RECd' ...
00:51:11Bagderlooks like a typo slipped in
00:51:19kugelI don't think it's mine
00:51:39kugelit compiled cleanly here, and fuze doesn't have BUTTON_REC
00:52:24mooslinuxstb: hehe, we changed the sequence this time then :)
00:52:37kugelsaratoga2: you were supposed to restore "#define JPEG_SLIDE_SHOW BUTTON_REC" for *c200*, not for fuze, besides that typo
00:52:45toffe82after extracting the iso file, you have to extract the exe file
00:52:47kugelsorry if I wasn't clear enough
00:54:00toffe82Bagder: an we post the updater on the wiki ?
00:54:07toffe82can ^^
00:54:34saratoga2kugel: you were clear, but I couldn't get windows to transfer the updated file, so tried editing in pico and oubviously it didn't work right
00:54:35BagderI don't see how we have permission for that unless it states we do
00:55:00kugelah ok
00:55:36toffe82So just the link , with the risk that it disappear one day
00:56:15Bagdertoffe82: yes, and of course others (like me personally) with less license concerns could host it

01:06:47*kugel is still getting reboots on mp3 playback, which is just weird
01:07:06kugelseems watchdog kicks in, but I have no idea why
01:08:11saratoga2hmm seems that botched commit also corrupted my .svn files
01:08:27 Quit Schmogel ("Miranda IM! Smaller, Faster, Easier. http://miranda-im.org")
01:08:54saratoga2why would SVN give me a permission denied error when I run it without sudo?
01:09:27agaffneybecause your checkout is owned by root?
01:09:36_Auron_lol
01:09:44saratoga2its not
01:09:59saratoga2just started doing that today, always worked fine before
01:10:00agaffneythen why were you running it with sudo to begin with?
01:10:15saratoga2because it started giving me permission denied errors and i wanted to commit
01:10:18agaffneyheh
01:10:28agaffneyI guess that's a good reason ;)
01:10:48agaffneyif it just started all of a sudden, I'd run a fsck (assuming linux)

01:15:40jhMikeSsaratoga2: I don't know if it really has changed
01:16:37linuxstbtoffe82: What do you mean by "extract the exe file" - use something like "cabextract" ?
01:16:58toffe82linuxstb: I use uniextract
01:17:00*linuxstb wonders how many more layers Toshiba could have added around that file...
01:17:36toffe82just use 7zip to extract
01:18:01saratoga2jhMikeS: any idea why its so poor?
01:19:02kugelBagder: would that be possible?
01:19:13*linuxstb now wonders who's writing install/uninstall instructions for the gigabeast, or preparing bootloader and sendfirm downloads for the download servers, or getting the manual ready...
01:19:18jhMikeSsaratoga2: No DVFS and no DMA for bulk transfers I'm guessing plays a role.
01:19:50jhMikeSThen again something more important could be overlooked but I don't know where atm.
01:20:12saratoga2so theres no boosting?
01:20:33 Quit kugel ("ChatZilla 0.9.84 [Firefox 3.0.5/2008121623]")
01:21:20jhMikeSsaratoga2: nope, it's 264 MHz all the time. handling that properly is not a simple matter and may require DMA to use predictive scaling.
01:22:07saratoga2i'm not familar with the imx31, why is it difficult to change the clock?
01:22:28saratoga2[ignoring that we probably want more then just a two level boost since it can change voltage too]
01:23:38jhMikeSsaratoga2: It's not hard to change the clock. It's hard when you get into the voltage scaling which is important to really save power since its quadratic.
01:24:31jhMikeSThe imx31 is just complicated hardware where doing almost anything is complicated. :p
01:25:17*toffe82 is leaving happy after discovering the updater for the S, 2 years searching :)

03:26:35Unhelpfulre: the pluginlib scaling support... it's been suggested, and i agree, that the API macro should be defined in one header file (and possibly redefined in another one when building core files for plugins), instead of in the two files that currently use it
03:27:06 Nick fxb is now known as fxb__ (n=felixbru@h1252615.stratoserver.net)
03:27:31notlisteningah just i am working on a project that implements the ms speech engine onto mac and linux and thought that might hold some interest for the rockbox project
03:27:59Unhelpfulany thoughts on the best place? it could easily go in bmp.h, albumart.c is the next file to go partially in pluginlib, and already includes that... but in the long run, maybe a new header file, or a more appropriate existing one for such a feature, is a better idea?
03:28:06LambdaCalculus37jhMikes: Are the rumors true? The beast is supported? :)
03:28:13n1slinuxstb: i agree "supported" status was a bit premature, also let's not forget the fdsik trick needed to mount on linux :)

03:33:05XavierGrwhat exactly changed to be supported? should I just read the logs?

03:33:36XavierGrI don't understand then...
03:34:16jhMikeShttp://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20090104#00:11:41
03:34:37linuxstbLambdaCalculus37: Because of the insane (and very poorly documented) install procedure. Plus no binary bootloader/sendfirm downloads. Plus no manual...
03:34:45n1sI think i agree with linuxstb, no manual and still not quite nice installation
03:34:49krazykit[21:31] < krazykit> she's like

03:35:56LambdaCalculus37linuxstb: True.
03:38:01XavierGrlinuxstb: from the logs I see that the "no binary" problem is solved?
03:38:45linuxstbXavierGr: What binary?
03:38:54XavierGrnk.bin
03:39:19linuxstbI'm talking about a Rockbox bootloader download. Plus sendfirm to install it./
03:39:57Unhelpful...would it be possible for a "pure" rockbox nk.bin to boot another nk.bin for dual boot, instead of being hacked into a toshiba nk.bin?
03:40:15XavierGrlinuxstb: ah okay yes, but at least the goal for a flashing utility is now more close than ever
03:40:23Unhelpfulthat would give us a redistributable binary bootloader that's still dual-boot capable

03:42:37n1stoffe82: the NK.bin from your link has a different md5 than the "other" one, has it been tested?

03:42:54linuxstbUnhelpful: Now that toffe has found the nk.bin, I don't think it's a problem - lots of Rockbox ports require patching an OF file, so the beast will just be one more in that category.
03:43:40linuxstbBut the format of nk.bin is documented, so in theory I think a Rockbox bootloader could load it.
03:44:23Unhelpfulalthough, if "download it in util, patch and install" is acceptable, that might be "easier"
03:45:15jhMikeSI was thinking about doing something where patching an nk.bin isn't needed.
03:45:33n1s...and it's about 40kB smaller so i'd say definitely a different version
03:45:53jhMikeSIf we can load our own plain bootloader, we should be able to load the original nk.bin with the bootloader instead of the reverse, no?
03:46:23n1ssounds reasonable
03:46:26Unhelpfultoffe82: you said it installs/works, right? did you see if it reports a version anywhere?
03:47:11linuxstbjhMikeS: Isn't that what Unhelpful just suggested? Or am I misunderstanding?

04:29:42jhMikeSUnhelpful: what are you trying? I had some strange idea to make rb an implicit variable in the plugin header and initialize it in the loader instead.
04:30:44Unhelpfuli had suggested something similar, although i went with "how about just using an extern plugin_api *rb that the plugin is expected to initialize"... but the loader could, as well.
04:31:23jhMikeSwhat does that do?
04:31:35Unhelpfulthe real trouble here is that i'm building core files in the pluginlib, and they therefore need to use either open or rb->open, etc
04:32:36Unhelpfuli have an API(func) macro that defines as either func or rb->func depending on if the file is built with PLUGIN defined... and right now, that's defined in each of the two core source files that might also go in the lib.

04:36:30Unhelpfulif a pluginlib object is compiled with an extern plugin_api pointer, it would just expect that symbol to be resolved at link time. whether it's written out explicitly in the plugin source, or hidden behind a boilerplate macro that all plugins use, it wouldn't make much difference, although having it initialized by the loader would mean not passing the API in on plugin start, and that pluginlib functions and the plugin itself could all j

04:40:42jhMikeSUnhelpful: I'd like to hear his reason for it because I'm not seeing any disadvantage at all.
04:41:49Unhelpfulhaving an implicit one would also mean that we could get rid of that macro that defines mem* functions wrappers
04:43:11jhMikeSPersonally, I prefer the 99.9999% of cases to be trivially easy even if the other .0001% get a little more difficult
04:43:33Unhelpfulwe didn't really talk about the reason, and it wasn't hard to do things the way other pluginlib files do
04:44:02Unhelpfulthe API() wrapper macro is really a completely separate issue, that i brought up because i have no idea which header file such a thing should be in
04:44:16jhMikeSI'm not sure why they can't simply use the same implicit pointer without it being initialized manually.
04:45:00jhMikeSI mean is there one single instance of code since plugins were created that ever uses something else?
04:46:15Unhelpfuli don't know, i've only looked at jpeg, pictureflow, and ppmviewer, pretty much.
04:46:41Unhelpfuland at greylib, which stashes its own at init - but its init actually does other work, as well.
04:48:43jhMikeSAn implicit rb for general use wouldn't prevent passing a different one to an init anyway.

05:20:57saratogaso really all we need to do is update the install procedure wiki, and provide binaries of the program that merges the OF and rockbox bootloader (or better yet arrange it so that they dont' need to be merged)
05:21:16saratogaand eventually finish the manual and then integrate in rbutil, but thats less urgent i think
05:21:17Unhelpfuli don't really have time to get anywhere with prepping albumart.c for pluginlib tonight... i think i'll just sleep on the idea of moving API into config.h, and do that sometime tomorrow if nobody has anything else to say on the topic
05:22:17Lloreansaratoga: it's not "urgent" to call it "supported" on the webpage either.
05:22:27LloreanI thought we were now waiting for having a manual to call targets supported, these days
05:22:53toffe82_and perhaps a real easy install
05:23:02saratogai think thats only for the releases, since we support the m3
05:24:02LloreanThe M3 has some strangeness with not having main buttons that keep a manual from being properly created without some redoing of the manual system. It's not as simple as "it just hasn't been written"
05:24:27saratogaok didn't realize that

08:19:27amiconnHowever, I now think that this global SYS_FOURHERTZ is somewhat nasty. It's a sys message that appears rather often, and it could break any button sequence using a precondition, meaning that short presses (press-release) and single long presses (press-repeat) could fail, confusing the user
08:20:27amiconnMaybe it would be better to add a flag parameter to the default event handler, with one bit specifying that it should redraw the status bar
08:21:59amiconnThis would solve the problem that the bar should be redrawn more often if there's button activity, it would also allow for different screens having different update frequencies (by using an appropriate timeout in get_button_wtmo()), and it wouldn't disturb places which don't need the status bar and want to use plain button_get()

08:40:31JdGordonyeah... did you mean putting the call to the event handler into there?
08:40:34amiconnIt acts almost the same as button_get_w_tmo(HZ/4)
08:40:42amiconnno
08:41:36amiconnYou can't save more energy by using longer timeouts now, and you always have to handle SYS_FOURHUERTZ (which is nasty)

08:42:26amiconnI mean putting the call to status bar redraw into default_event_handler(), with a flag stating whether it should do that redraw
08:42:48JdGordonthat redraw call is there already...
08:43:04amiconnSo why do we need SYS_FOURHERTZ then?
08:43:16JdGordonand remember, this event is not ONLY for the statusbar redrawing... it could very well be used for something else later
08:43:46JdGordontick task sends that event into the button que which eventually gets into the event handler so its run in the main thread
08:44:13amiconnI know. I was asking why we need it, if the status bar redraw is already called from the default event handler?
08:44:30amiconnSYS_FOURHERTZ is doing more bad than good, imo
08:45:09JdGordonno, the statusbar redraws are in the SYS_FOURERTZ case in the event handler
08:46:04JdGordonits the only way to get a mostly reliable update frequency eerywhere

08:52:24JdGordonbut yes, handking it in screens its not needed would be better
08:54:29amiconn4hz can either be too little or too often, depending on context. It's just inflexible

08:55:06amiconnYou're often saying that you asked in the channel, but at the same time keep telling me I should use the tracker so things aren't forgotten...
08:55:30JdGordonand you dont see the difference there?
08:55:56amiconnAnyway, I'm not saying the idea of a generic status bar handler is bad (it saves code and makes things more uniform), just I don't like the global event (*after* having seen its effects)
08:56:33amiconnThis is how development often works, you try something, see which parts are bad, and (hopefully) redo them in a better way
08:56:59*amiconn even dropped the whole graylib in favour of the new greylib
08:57:03JdGordonmy ultimate goal for this way to be able to have a full WPS redrawing in the "background" which requires fast updates and this timer would work
08:57:08 Join timc [0] (n=aoeu@124.93.243.83)
08:58:38JdGordonsticking the handler call into get_action might be better.. as long as screens which dont want it updated disable it
08:59:28amiconnHmm, get_action might in fact be a better place, since the default handler isn't called for events handled by the respective event loop itself (without adding special measures)
08:59:49jhMikeSmpegplayer on e200 is messed too (trying to seek)

09:03:38JdGordonamiconn: sometinhg like http://pastebin.com/d1997e4b8

09:09:47amiconnJdGordon: No, that's not what I mean
09:10:23amiconnThe redraw could happen in get_action_w_tmo(), and SYS_FOURHERTZ could be removed
09:11:28amiconnThis would solve the 'volume redraw problem', allow screens to use their own flexible redraw frequency, and stop disturbing button loops which don't need to handle a status bar
09:13:42jhMikeSwell, it's during the 1 Jan daily. 31 Dec is fine.
09:14:04amiconnAnd get_action* shouldn't call default_event_handler.

09:17:57JdGordon" <amiconn> The redraw could happen in get_action_w_tmo(),"
09:18:02amiconnyes
09:18:07jhMikeSReally, I can see a way that the status bar doesn't require busy updating if the systems that effects a particular area send events to it (like powermgmt giving it battery notifications).
09:18:13amiconnThat's in apps/ and hence is allowed to call other apps code
09:18:44JdGordonthere is no such function.. unless your talking about creating it
09:19:04amiconnBut it should only handle the redraw, not default_even_handler in general. Some button loops need to handle specific events themselves, and these events then must not be passed to the default handler
09:19:33JdGordonjhMikeS: yeah, that would be good.. but wont help if/when we ever get full WPS able screens (With the list/menu/rest of screen in a single viewport somwehre
09:20:06amiconnJdGordon: I assumed it would exist, same as button_get and button_get_w_tmo. If it doesn't exist, it should very probably be created
09:20:23JdGordonamiconn: my snippet does that...
09:20:30JdGordonget_action() has a timeout parameter
09:20:37jhMikeSJdGordon: how not? it can either say it wants certain updates or not or ignore ones provided if the element is absent.
09:20:41amiconnHmm, then that's what I mean
09:20:42 Quit new ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
09:21:19amiconnget_action would just *always* redraw the status bar once per call, if the status bar is enabled
09:21:50amiconnYou then control the update frequency via the timeout parameter.
09:22:30amiconnAdditionally you get more frequent redraws when there's button activity - the solution for the volume update problem, and you get rid of the global event at the same time
09:23:02JdGordonhmm.. yeah that could work

10:59:04gammylucent: Any specific model that's nicer than others?
10:59:09lucentotherwise, there's some hope for the Sansa AMS targets (Fuze, Clip) but it's off-topic for this channel to suggest targets that aren't supported; I'd note that OF is pretty good on the Fuze

11:00:06gammyI've grown so attached to rockbox :|.
11:00:55lucentdid the iHP-120 just die or is there a mechanical part like a hard disk that is not working? You could replace a broken part
11:01:13lucentrockbox should work on devices that have their drive replaced with a compact flash storage

11:03:29gammylucent: I'd get a flash replacement but they're so damn expensive here
11:03:47gammyI can probably get a working second hand iHP-120 for half the price of just the new flash drive.

12:57:56kugelI downloaded a current build, so
12:58:40JdGordonthat was fixed in 19681...

14:31:37Unhelpfulamiconn: i just don't think that requiring plugins to call an init function that does *nothing* but copy a plugin_api pointer is any less nasty than requiring that they provide one, or having the loader initialize one. i'm not sure why having the loader initialize a plugin-header-declared API pointer can't work in sim... even if it has to be done differently from the target load, it's not like that would be the only difference
14:33:33Unhelpfuland if the loader really *can't* do it, it could be declared in the plugin header, and initialized in plugin_start by a required macro, call it PLUGIN_INIT or something

15:11:44Unhelpfulre FS #9758, any objections to committing it as-is? In most cases where the build is from git, the git commit ID should be as good as an svn revision, and possibly better, since the dev can see where the build came from in their local history, as well as the base svn revision.
15:12:59LloreanI'm personally not sure how I feel about that.
15:14:04LloreanPeople often build on their own, then report bugs against a specific revision. At least with the source download tarball, I think you still get the same version number when you do so, so currently people building on their own at least report a number we here can understand.
15:14:05t0masUnhelpful: I can think of a lot of objections
15:14:38t0masthe "official" repo is still svn..
15:14:52Unhelpfulwould adding the svn revision as well as the git id answer the objections?
15:14:58t0masso if you want to change it.. maybe go through the mailinglist?
15:15:24LloreanUnhelpful: I'd say the number Rockbox reports should always be the SVN revision, personally. I don't think it should build with a different looking version number just because you checked out the source a different way.
15:15:27t0masfor me it would.. but it might be good to give everybody an opportunity to voice an opinion and use the mailinglist?
15:15:33LloreanIt should follow the same rules as SVN checked out source.
15:17:50Unhelpfuli'm not trying to change the official repo... but godeater at least often deals with blocked SVN access, if i recall, that was why zagor was working to get git http access working
15:19:29UnhelpfulLlorean: i'd be fine with making it work "just like" things do now with git-svn... but alex may have a point in that a developer build from git could be lacking useful information if it doesn't also have the current git commit ID as well.

15:21:30LloreanUnhelpful: That might be better handled some other way.
15:21:53Unhelpfulwhat about appending the short ID after the date, and still putting the svn rev in front?
15:22:21LloreanMaybe a version-control specific second file that's a bit more complex (for svn it could do an "svn st" on the relevant source folders showing modified files for that build, and for git it could do whatever you git folk need and show a git ID too)
15:23:36Unhelpfulhrm... i'll work on it. having a file in the zip or such with more detailed info might be "even better" than just having the ID, anyway.
15:23:46LloreanI'm just not sure I like the idea of the number Rockbox reports to users ever changing based solely on version control use.
15:24:13LloreanBut I don't disagree with the reason why something like it might be desired, just that specific aspect of it.
15:24:26Unhelpfulok, i'll have to think about it. :)
15:24:52LloreanIf it's the best way, I'd be in favour of it, I'm just not convinced it's the best way yet. :)

20:23:24BigBambiDo you have hold on when you start charging?
20:23:31BigBambiNicosmos: It does
20:23:45BigBambiRockbox dual boots, and doesn't require repatching everytime
20:23:58Nicosmosit's not a dual boot
20:24:01BigBambiIt is
20:24:07Nicosmosi never use the original firware
20:24:11BigBambiSo?
20:24:18BigBambiRockbox can dual boot
20:24:28BigBambiThe manual explains how to switch between them
20:24:34Nicosmosok ok ... but i don't have a nice dual boot like on a computer with a choice ...
20:24:44BigBambiIt does, by enabling a button
20:24:54Nicosmosok, it"s not the problem :D
20:24:55BigBambiWhich is *much* quicker than a menu
20:25:58BigBambiIf you read the manual to see how to switch between firmwares, you should be able to narrow down what is happening when you plug in the charger (ipod is off and you have hold on maybe), and also how to get back to Rockbox from the Apple firmware
20:26:07Nicosmosin any case, i have to repatch every time the battery is totally empty (it's not really a big problem because patch take 1 second)
20:26:08BigBambiYou do *not* need to repatch it everytime
20:26:15Nicosmosok
20:26:23Nicosmos(but it's works :D)
20:26:29Nicosmosthanks
20:26:51Nicosmosi will read more the manual
20:26:52Nicosmosbye

21:16:01jhMikeSZagor: What's the issue? I think being able to run it maxed out is important eventually. I could just set the divider to 4 to get 132 MHz but voltage points tend to be finer than frequency points (at least in the linux BSP code).
21:16:49ZagorI'm just wondering if we could simplify things a bit
21:16:54saratogainitially it might be nice to just boost at constant voltage between 30MHz and 264MHz [or whatever the current max is]
21:17:13saratogai expect that would give a very large savings in power because the change in clock would be so great, even at constant voltage
21:17:30jhMikeS132 won't be enough for video however. 264 isn't really any better than gigabeat F in terms of performance.

21:18:43saratogaor i guess 33MHz
21:18:54jhMikeSI don't think you can run it that slow (30 MHz). The BSP doesn't run under 133 (532,266,133).
21:19:01ZagorUnhelpful: ping. what is this API(fn) I read about in the log? I'm not sure I like the sound of that...
21:19:10saratogathere must be a way to get lower then that if its an mp3 player
21:19:23saratogafast armv5e decoders need ~20MHz
21:19:59jhMikeSNot with a proper clocking of other parts relative to the core.
21:20:09amiconnarmv6 should be able to get even lower than that, something between the stated 20MHz and the 10MHz possible with arm neon
21:20:55jhMikeSamiconn: To actually set the core to that frequency or is that the MHz required for decoding?
21:21:10amiconnGigabeat S at 264MHz is almost twice as fast as gigabeat F at 300MHz when it comes to higher ape compression levels
21:21:29amiconnjhMikeS: Just what's required for decoding

21:35:40Unhelpfulcan't say precisely... it wouldn't be hard to build a scaling-capable core bitmap loader on mono, but i didn't really think *any* binsize cost would be deemed acceptable for it, given that the feature is useless in core.
21:37:01ZagorI must say I fail to see how the feature is at the same time totally useless in core and vital in pluginlib...
21:37:11Unhelpfulcore doesn't have greylib.
21:37:49kugelit's useless with mono, but useful on greyscale, and the greylib makes it possible for plugins

21:41:23Unhelpfulinstead of API, maybe functions built in the pluginlib, that wrap the core functions? then their invocations in the source don't need to change
21:41:37 Nick Barahir_ is now known as Barahir (n=jonathan@Zd631.z.pppool.de)
21:41:37ZagorUnhelpful: could you do a "full" build for a mono target and see what the damage is? I'm begining to wonder if the code quirks are worth the savings.
21:41:39kugelbut that's not the problem is it? I mean you can always do #define open rb->open before including the .c files
21:42:13Unhelpfulkugel: either that, or do something like the mem* wrappers defined in plugin_api do
21:42:22kugelZagor: I think they are. mono essentially also low mem
21:42:44Zagorkugel: well that depends on the size saved
21:42:55DJuniah_gevaerts: I'm a gigabeat S user and i just wanted to ask someone how large of an undertaking adding USB host support would be. The stock firmware has it and i could see it being useful. Say if you plug in a thumb drive and wanted to browse it via rockbox's file browser and copy some files over, or just play files on the attached drive. Is there any code in now to support that, or would i need to start writing from scratch?
21:43:07ZagorDJuniah_: in a word: huge
21:43:28kugelwhat's the point of having useless code in the core? just to make the code a bit prettier?
21:43:32Unhelpfuli don't really like those, very much, they wrap a function in another function, and *even* if they get inlined, they can't be declared static or inline, and will thus end up being in the plugin as code :/
21:43:49kugelI agree that API isn't so nice, but it's accaptable (especially if it gets a better name)
21:44:23DJuniah_Zagor: yeah, i assumed so, i was just curious if there was any work done on it already before i started looking into it
21:45:11amiconnUnhelpful, Zagor: Another option would be just duplicating the code, but that leads to the problem where fixes/improvements are applied to one implementation but not the other
21:45:33gevaertsDJuniah_: I'm not aware of any significant work on host
21:45:34kugelI think this can be done with almost 0 changes to the core files, and without duplicating code
21:45:41*amiconn is reminded of the completely missing utf-8 handling in the greylib's _putsxy()
21:45:45Unhelpfulforking a file is pretty much the last way *i* would want to do it, but if consensus is that it's the "best" way...
21:45:47DJuniah_do you think it would be better to tackle this as a file copy/browse plugin or as a full-on patch?
21:46:34gevaertsFull support would be easier I think
21:47:07kugelUnhelpful: if you define some wrapper about the func's you need before including the .c, and remove that #ifdef PLUGIN everywhere, the core files are pretty much unchanged, and the result is the same (except for the slightly larger plugins), isn't it?
21:47:16Unhelpfultrying to access hardware in a plugin that the core does not support sounds nightmarish to this completely hardware-ignorant person ;)
21:47:17amiconnFixed now, but went undetected for months. Unhelpful's work on pictureflow for grey targets made it show up...
21:47:25ZagorI would like to know how much we save, before evaluating options. hundred bytes? five hundred? five KB?
21:47:43 Quit flydutch (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
21:48:03Unhelpfulkugel: slightly larger, possibly slightly slower if gcc fails to inline the wrappers.
21:48:41*Unhelpful points out that amiconn must accept some credit for greylib pictureflow :P
21:48:56gevaertsDJuniah_: there are several parts in this. The main part is the driver and API for the actual USB hardware, then you need a host-side MSC implementation, and then you need to integrate that in the rest of rockbox. I think those bits are in decreasing order of amount of work (but I can be wrong)
21:49:05Unhelpfuli seriously would've happily left the tiny nearest-neighbor scaler as the only thing on greyscale targets. :)
21:49:07kugelUnhelpful: I think the point isn't to make the most efficient and smallest code, but rather some kind of proof-of-concept?
21:49:19amiconnUnhelpful: Obviously, it wouldn't work nearly as nice without the greylib :P

21:50:23Zagorgevaerts: can we? isn't the root hub always present?
21:50:35kugelUnhelpful: visible? What do you mean? does the scaler give different results with what I proposed?
21:51:24Unhelpfulkugel: that was addressed to amiconn, sorry. the HQ scaler is a tiny bit nicer than the LQ one from my initial scaler commit. also, loads more maintainable.

21:53:01kugelUnhelpful: what you also could do is "fork" the non-plugin parts into another file, and include that in the core on non-mono
21:53:06Unhelpfulstruct plugin_api will need to be defined somewhere that does not include any of the core header files with the "real" function prototypes. then the wrappers can be declared static inline, and will likely be converted into direct API calls.
21:53:15kugeland don't include that for plugins on mono

21:54:16kugeljust an idea, probably not worth thinking about it further
21:55:04Unhelpfulif just config.h is included, that will be enough to cover the parts of struct plugin_api that need to be defined conditionally, right? or won't it?
21:56:34gevaertsZagor: there are some complexities in handling full and low speed devices on high speed hubs, but the rest is simple. Most of the scary things in the spec are only scary if you want to actually implement a hub

23:20:19kugelZagor: yea, I thought that too, it has many levels, should be very smooth. I just fear the lowest level isn't dark enough
23:20:24bertrikcontrast 0 isn't really dark
23:20:59Zagorindeed. I never tried it before.
23:21:10gevaertskugel: you could use greylib :)

23:47:36bertrikI'm confused by the audiohw interface. I don't know the proper way to enable line in without HAVE_RECORDING enabled

23:55:42MarcGuaylinuxstb: No.
23:55:58MarcGuayWill fix.
23:56:03linuxstbThat, plus adding a newline at the end of the file were the only changes in your "convert to utf-8" commit...
23:56:32linuxstbOr rather, removing the newline...
23:56:33MarcGuayStrange. I changed it from ANSI to UTF-8.
23:56:48linuxstbYes, but as it is pure ASCII, there should have been no changes.

23:57:43MarcGuayHonestly I don't really understand that depth. Is there something I should do to fix it at this point?
23:57:45Bagderwell, I don't have a strong opinion on the beast - I was trying to get a sense for where devs are in this topic in general. I do however not think that manuals and install methods etc have to be in perfect shape before we call it "supported".
23:58:16linuxstbBagder: You didn't wait long for opinions... ;)
23:58:43Bagder"supported" for me is to enter the state where we start caring about bug reports and discussing it "everywhere" is more ok
