00:02:07kugeldoes anyone see where configure touches /tmp ?
00:02:36kugelit seems to be sed failing
00:02:52Zagorkugel: would you mind testing before committing next time?
00:02:59bertrikthe OF does indeed have a more tone-like quality to it
00:03:28kugeltesting this way was easier

00:03:51kugelit's a good change anyway, no matter if it fixes my issue

00:04:41kugeli.e. I tested if I didn't break configure itself. My problem really matter for te commit

00:15:47kugelowner even
00:15:55Zagorbut you run a vm?
00:16:03kugelit may have a reason, and I want to try to not break the vm already

00:25:51stripwaxDoes anyone know how well USEC_TIMER works over clock speed changes on pp? I'm suspicious that it doesn't give consistent timings, causing curious jerkiness in pictureflow, possibly causing jerkiness in list viewers in general. Another reason I suspect this is due to the 'experimental' gui cpu boost patch making pictureflow jerkiness worse/weirder
00:27:28stripwaxThe ipod video button driver uses USEC_TIMER and I'd like to experiment with using some alternative (if there is one). I'll also see if video behaves nicer with the zero-wait-state patch
00:28:13 Quit flydutch ("/* empty */")
00:30:25amiconnThe PP usec timer isn't affected by cpu clock changes at all (well, except when switching to the 32kHz hibernation clock, which we don't do yet)
00:31:07amiconnSame applies to the two programmable timers. They're all running from the base clock and need no adjustment for clock changes
00:31:58stripwaxamiconn - Thanks as always! So bang goes that unfounded theory.
00:33:09amiconn(for those who are curious - the hibernation clock turns the usec timer into a sec timer)
00:36:43stripwaxcute. out of interest, what's stopping switching to the hibernation clock (a lot of driver rework needed or is there not a lot to it?).
00:37:43 Quit jgarvey ("Leaving")
00:38:57amiconnAll the hardware management threads need to learn how to go to hibernation mode and wake up again
00:39:52amiconnOther than that it's fairly easy on iPod G1 and G2, I already did it months ago using experimental code
00:40:37TheSevenamiconn: how does this clock switch work on the older ipods? is it a gipo?
00:40:39amiconnI have no idea what additional measures are needed on the newer ipods which have the PCF50606 PMU
00:41:17TheSevenexactly that switch prevents us from properly resetting the 2g nanos
00:41:56amiconnThe old ones need to make sure backlight is off, shut down the codec via i2c, the put the sdram into self-refresh and finally switch to the 32kHz source and switch off the 24MHz base clock
00:42:04TheSeven(bootrom tries to lock a PLL at 11GHz and wonders why that doesn't work, if you don't switch to 32kHz before resetting)
00:42:56amiconnThe hibernation code needs to be in iram because of this. SDRAM cannot be accessed in self-refresh mode

00:44:16amiconnIt's not gpio, but several bits in the PP clock and ram controllers
00:45:27 Quit r0b- (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:46:31TheSevenamiconn: i mean just switching the cpu clock source, not the other steps
00:46:31amiconnYes, that's done by selecting another clock source in the clock controller
00:47:01TheSevenok... on the nano2, that's done by something external :-/
00:47:35amiconnWell, it's an entirely different SoC
00:47:36TheSevenand when booting, they lock the PLL at 200MHz based off the 32kHz source
00:47:51kugelpixelma: did you get anywhere with testing the pla rework yet?
00:47:54TheSevenjust hoped they could have done that on the old ones, too
00:48:25amiconnPP has two base clocks, 32kHz and 24MHz. The programmable PLL uses the 24MHz source as its base
00:49:36amiconnThe 24MHz source can be disabled. I think that actually disables the oscillator

01:31:20saratogaif I include mdct_lookup.h in two different .c files in the same codec, do the lookup tables get allocated twice? or is the linker smart enough to use the same table for both .c files?
01:35:07amiconnCode in a .h file? Eww. In this case you'll most probably have them allocated twice

01:36:34amiconnThese tables are static - the linker doesn't know they're there
01:37:12saratogawell thats annoying
01:37:15amiconnIf they wouldn't be static, you would get a duplicate symbol error instead
01:37:27saratogacook uses the same trig tables as the mdct lib
01:37:34kugelWhat's the problem with the C file?
01:37:38saratogaso i'd like to be able to delete cooks and somehow include the mdcts
01:38:05saratogawithout having them allocated twice
01:38:23kugelmdct_lookup.c, then have extern lookup_table[] in mdct_lookup.h
01:38:25amiconnMove the tables to a .c file, un-static them, and keep the declarations in the .h
01:39:01saratogadoes unstaticing them have any impact on other codecs that use the mdct library?
01:39:38amiconnNot unless they're also doing such a weird thing as duplicating them
01:39:46saratogaok good
01:40:13saratogaalso, I notice cook uses a lot of 16 bit constants for trig functions

01:40:55amiconnIiuc this mdct lib is our own anyway, so we're not forced to keep wrong constructs for potential upstream syncs
01:41:15amiconnIt depends on the architecture

07:29:56Leakydicksvn is what i'll use
07:30:06Leakydickit's the build enviornment that is my first issue
07:30:22Leakydickthought cyg would be portable app, like copy and paste to new machien and set paths

13:58:49Unhelpfulwincent: wrappers.h is not intended for that
13:59:06gevaertsTorne: I have some code (not in rockbox though) that depends on the exact strncopy behaviour
13:59:09kugelI think we generally want to make importing code as easy as possible
13:59:23wincentThen move it to pluginlib.
13:59:31gevaertsso you really have to check all cases, not just do a blind global search and replace
13:59:57n1swincent: ok
13:59:58Unhelpfulwrappers.h is intended for code imported from core
14:00
14:00:05Tornegevaerts: well, ok, you can do that if you are clever. but most people aren't :)
14:00:05wincentnls: Future merges are likely.
14:00:37n1sgevaerts: yeah i found a few such places in rockbox, one i code i'd written myself :)
14:00:42n1sin
14:00:43kugelTorne: that's just a case where gevaerts used strncopy instead of memcpy
14:00:46kugel;)
14:00:51kugelstrncpy*
14:00:53gevaertskugel: no :)
14:01:16n1skugel: you might also rely on the zero padding of strncpy which strlcpy doesn't do
14:01:55kugelfor strings?
14:02:13Torneyah, you may be writing fixed length output data
14:02:21Torneand thus need full zero padding
14:02:31Tornefor various possible reasons (checksums and the like?)
14:02:40gevaertsexactly
14:02:58n1skugel: keybox does for the buffer that is used to generate the encryption/decryption key
14:03:27n1smemset+strlcpy does the trick though and is more obvious
14:07:56CIA-71New commit by teru (r21860): add a way to quit without saving game. ...
14:13:05n1si wonder if i should remove my changes to doom too then
14:14:37Torneanything that's likely to get updated from external sources should probably be left alone, i'd think
14:14:50n1syeah
14:14:55amiconnmemset + strlcpy are two calls, strncpy is just one. And memset()ting the whole buffer is even more wasteful
14:15:03Torneglibc still doesn't have strlcpy, does it?
14:15:11Tornethey objected to the idea
14:15:20Torneso external code is not gonna want it
14:15:52n1samiconn: yes, i know but it is clearer that you depend on the zeroing of the buffer, this example is not speed critical in any way
14:16:07amiconnClearer in what way?
14:16:49n1swell, IMO of course, since you explicitly zero it
14:17:18amiconnstrncpy() also zeros explicitly - it is documented behaviour
14:17:46linuxstbYes, it's documented, but perhaps not well-known. So if code depends on that, a short comment to that effect wouldn't hurt.
14:18:07n1samiconn: yes i know it's documented but if a string is strncpy'ed the zero padding might just be a side effect
14:18:14gevaertsZagor: (logs) I just noticed that one of my clients had stopped with a "Terminated" message. I think this is the same issue as others that stopped with "Killed" earlier, only the signal changed. I suspect that the pid is sometimes wrong, or maybe the process group handling is different than we expect. This is not in a VM by the way
14:19:23gevaertsn1s: by the same reasoning someone could call strncpy(a,"",20), and depend on the zeroing, while the string copy is just a side effect.
14:19:56gevaertsstrncpy() is defined as it is, with all parts equally important
14:20:10n1sgevaerts: my point is that since the zeroing always happens it is not clear if the code depends on it
14:20:54gevaertsn1s: in that case you assume it does until proven otherwise
14:22:31n1syes but IMO a memset+strlcpy or memcpy or whtever is quite clear in that the buffer should be zeroed. Not that this is a major point for this patch in any way, just what i think and this particular example turned up only once
14:23:19gevaertsit's clear, yes. It's also inefficient
14:23:25n1si agree
14:24:13n1swell except when you first memcpy and then memset the remaining part of the buffer
14:25:15gevaertsand depend on people to get the numbers right? I thought you were trying to avoid bugs?
14:26:04n1si'm just saying i don't think anyone should do that unless the code is very time critical
14:26:20n1sinsert , where appropriate
14:26:43n1sor ;
14:27:13linuxstbn1s: You're suggesting we get rid of strncpy completely?
14:27:16n1sanyway i think the patch is ready soon and will probably commit it later today
14:27:45*gevaerts disagrees. If there's a well defined function for something that does exactly what you need, it's wrong to use two other functions for that
14:27:54n1slinuxstb: that was how i understood the original plan but as it is now i moved it to the pluginlib
14:30:17linuxstbIt does seem odd to get rid of a standard existing function, just because some people don't know what it does...
14:31:33adityaone more question, where can I find information about decoding ogg? That is, I don't want to use the ready made OGG-Vorbis decoder IC for decoding the music. Maybe code it on the controller or use an FPGA/CPLD...
14:31:34*amiconn fully agrees with linuxstb here
14:32:00 Nick fxb__ is now known as fxb (n=felixbru@h1252615.stratoserver.net)
14:33:54n1slinuxstb: ok, so what do you think should be done then? as the patch is now only plugins use strncpy. Should i just leave strncpy in the core anyway? or should the core calls not be converted at all?
14:34:21aditya...
14:35:29kugelit's on MrSomeonesTODOList. The items there *should* be out of question
14:35:52n1skugel: noone complains until you are about to commit
14:35:54n1s...
14:36:03markunaditya: what are you trying to do?
14:36:08linuxstbn1s: Ah, so you're saying that every single use of strncpy is better replaced by strlcpy?
14:36:14kugelWe're not implementing the complete standard, that's no reason to keep strncpy in
14:36:29linuxstbn1s: Or have you replaced some by memset+strlcpy?
14:36:44adityamarkun: there are ogg decoder ics available. I want to know if the decoding can be done on the microcontroller itself and play ogg.
14:37:01adityamarkun: once that is done, rockbox porting on that player will follow
14:37:04kugeln1s: I don't think he's complaining (yet).
14:37:04linuxstbn1s: Or simpler - do you have a link to the patch? ;)
14:37:10markunaditya: which player?
14:37:24kugellinuxstb: a few have been replaced with memcpy IIRC, the patch is on the tracker
14:37:53markunaditya: did you read the specs? http://www.xiph.org/vorbis/doc/
14:38:22n1slinuxstb: i'll post a fresh diff
14:38:35adityamarkun: err.. I am thinking of building a player.
14:39:48markunaditya: and you want to do all the decoding inside an FPGA/CPLD?
14:40:29n1slinuxstb: fs#10080
14:41:36adityamarkun: or the controller itself.
14:42:27Tornemarkun: he wants to use a uC rather than a higher-end processor like most o four targets, i believe :)
14:42:38aditya^^ yes
14:42:49Tornethis is unlikely to be realistic, in my opinion
14:42:55adityaTorne: can be an ARM controller also.
14:42:57n1sbasically the majority of the strncpys were replaced with strlcpy, a few with memcpy and *one* with memset (implicit, buffer is initialized with 0) + strlcpy
14:42:57markunit's not impossible
14:43:00Tornejust grab a cheap ARM9 SoC

14:54:34linuxstbn1s: Patch looks good to me. I was just confused by your conversation with gevaerts... So the intention is to keep it for plugins, and not use it there?
14:54:36adityakkurbjun: hehe
14:55:03adityakkurbjun: so, the second option. Is it possible to have the decoder on the processor?
14:55:23adityaI mean, use a software decoder. Save it to flash. Load it in ram at startup. Use it.
14:55:36adityasave it to the same flash as the one with the music files.
14:55:39markunaditya: that's how rockbox does it for all targets
14:55:59markun(all flash targets which play Ogg Vorbis)
14:56:01adityamarkun: so, a seperate decoder IC is not needed?
14:56:06markunno
14:56:11kkurbjunaditya: yes, I think that a soft procesor would be fast enought to do the decoding
14:56:14markunit's all done in software
14:56:24adityaokay, where can I get more information about that?
14:56:43adityaI mean, the codec and how is it loaded for the playing of the file...
14:56:51n1slinuxstb: thanks for looking, sorry fopr any confusion, yes keep it for plugins and use it in imported ones, like doom and pdbox

14:59:22n1syeah, that's probably out of the scope for this patch
15:00
15:01:36Torneaditya: the minimum 'spec' for the ports of rockbox at the moment is something like "a processor fast enough to decode mp3 in software without being fully utilised, 4-8MB of ram but ideally a lot more". We support a couple of players with hardware mp3 decoder chips which are lower spec than that, but they are very old and can't decode anything but mp3.
15:01:56Torneyou could port to less hardware, if you wer ecunning enough about it, but it would be a lot of work to do, most likely.
15:02:10gevaertsn1s: that depends on what you consider to be the scope of this patch. If it is "introduce strlcpy", it isn't. If it is "clean up strncpy usage", it is
15:02:52n1sok, i'll clean that up a bit then ;)

15:03:50adityaTorne: okay, so, say ARM11 processor with a ram chip of 8MBs connected to it...
15:03:54kkurbjunaditya: Another option if you are interested in messing around with hardware/fpga's and cplds is to find a board that has something like a virtex2 pro that has an embedded powerpc on it also
15:04:00adityaTorne: will it be able to run rockbox?
15:04:02kkurbjunthat would give you a ton of processing power
15:04:06Torneaditya: Are you intending to play files from flash or HDD
15:04:11Torneif you are going to use a hdd you want a lot more ram
15:04:14Tornebut from flash, 8mb is plenty
15:04:21adityaTorne: flash. SD card.
15:04:21Torneand an ARM9 is sufficient, an ARM11 is loads of power
15:04:27adityaok
15:04:33GodEateris it worth pointing out to aditya that someone is already builing their own player specifically to run Rockbox ?
15:04:38Torneyah. an ARM9 SoC with 8MB ram and an SD interface would be a reasonable rockbox target
15:04:48Tornean ARM11 would be more fun but probably not necessary
15:04:49TorneOh, er

15:13:52linuxstbIt's probably worth a mention in docs/CONTRIBUTING - that we prefer strlcpy to strncpy

15:15:39n1sor should it remain in core?
15:16:12linuxstbI don't feel strongly... Although I'm generally in favour of changing imported code, so would be tempted to remove uses of strncpy if they can all safely be replaced with strlcpy...

15:37:45linuxstbDid your previous updates definitely work? i.e. did you see any changes in Rockbox?
15:38:10LiamAetherI haven't noticed anything in the UI
15:39:10linuxstbMaybe your manual updates didn't work then, and only when you used rbutil did the update actually happen... The most common problem is that the WPS parser is now stricter, so it will reject your WPS when it sees some errors, rather than just ignoring them.

17:41:21pyro_maniac1wasn't there a change on the devcon?
17:41:44gevaertsthere was
17:43:08gevaertsFor basic "supported" status (I don't remember if we found a good name for it), the port needs to be usable for normal day to day use. That means that if it doesn't eat your files and it usually can play them, it's probably good enough
17:43:59gevaertsIIRC, basically the porters decide if it's good enough
17:45:35linuxstbgevaerts: Isn't a way to install it also useful?
17:45:58*linuxstb wonders if the beast will ever enter "supported" status...
17:46:30gevaertslinuxstb: the DevConEuro2009 page says "fairly stable and documented install mechanisms are required. A target would need to be useful for daily use for music listening"
17:46:43gevaertsso yes, you need to be able to install

18:29:26amiconnI would still like to port XSkat to rockbox, but its license is not GPL compatible.
18:29:45amiconnThe question is whether loading a plugin can be considered static or dynamic linking
18:30:01*BryanJacobs remembers the long discussion on this topic about codecs earlier
18:30:03linuxstbWe've always considered it to be...
18:30:44BryanJacobshttp://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLAndPlugins
18:30:47funmanlinuxstb: to be, static or dynamic?
18:30:48amiconnYeah, just bringing it back up because I'm reading up a bit on the linux kernel
18:31:20linuxstbMy view at least is that I want all code in Rockbox (including plugins/codecs and even "data" like themes and fonts) to be GPL'd, or a similar "libre" license...
18:31:25JdGordon|i have a mp3 which causes my clip to stop playback every time i think... is it useful?
18:31:46funmanamiconn: what is the licence of xskat?
18:31:47evilnickJdGordon|: Is it specific to the clip?
18:31:51linuxstbfunman: To be whatever forces plugins to be GPL'd.
18:31:52JdGordon|hmm.. maybe not
18:31:58funmanJdGordon|: no
18:32:20amiconnfunman: It's a homebrew license that would be gpl compatible except for a single term
18:32:56amiconnThe GPL doesn't allow further restrictions apart from those it imposes itself. That homebrew license doesn't allow to make XSkat clones and call them XSkat
18:33:26BryanJacobsrrrrgh, like BSD-4. That's obnoxious
18:34:13BryanJacobswhy do people DO that? Copyright law protects you from other people stealing your logo/name, you don't need a license!

18:35:23amiconnlinuxstb: Yeah, but that's exactly the grey area. If loading a plugin equals dynamic linking, it is debatable whether the plugin should be considered derived work, especially if it wasn't originally written for rockbox

18:36:48linuxstbamiconn: Well, what I'm saying is that whilst the legalities are a grey area, there's also a desire (at least from me, and I hope others) to keep all of Rockbox under the GPL, or something compatible.
18:38:52linuxstbBryanJacobs: I didn't think you could copyright a name, just trademark it?
18:39:15BryanJacobsif you produce an intellectual work, you automatically hold copyright: that includes logos
18:39:31linuxstbYes, but a name isn't an "intellectual work"...
18:39:33BryanJacobsthe name could be a work but is most likely a trade name, you're right

18:52:43amiconnHe doesn't want to relicense XSkat under the GPL. What is strange though is that he puts the card images under the GPL
18:53:00bertrikmarkun, anyone, I saw an inexpensive Samsung YP-S3 for sale and downloaded the firmware upgrade file to have a look at it. It contains big-endian ARM code, there's a string saying "8700" and it seems to access the same addresses for peripherals as mentioned in the s5l8700 datasheet!
18:53:20BryanJacobsamiconn: you could ask for a Rockbox-specific inspection
18:53:23BryanJacobs**exception
18:53:42amiconnNope, as that wouldn't be GPL compatible
18:54:05linuxstbOr a stripped-down version of the core code licensed under the GPL (basically, dual-licensing the core)
18:54:14gevaertsBryanJacobs: it's the rockbox license that's the blocker here
18:54:35saratogayou could ask him for permission to call your derived version under the same name, in which case you would be reduced to GPL compatibility by voiding that extra restriction
18:54:36*linuxstb has had these kind of conversations with people in the past, and they've never been fruitful - people who use home-brew licenses don't seem to understand them...
18:54:36BryanJacobsyeah, I suppose saying "you can only use this in Rockbox" is an extra restriction :-P

18:56:44amiconnI still have the whole conversation (in German)
18:56:48BryanJacobsbut if he just gave *us* the ability to call it "xskat", then it wouldn't be OK anyhow because being part of Rockbox is an extra restriction above the GPL
18:57:38***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
18:59:04linuxstbamiconn: It sounds like there's no solution. Any kind of "hack" to Rockbox to get around the GPL would (I guess...) open up closed-source plugins...

18:59:48JdGordon|closed source plugins wont happen because the api changes too often
19:00
19:00:03linuxstbWhat about releases?
19:00:07amiconnIt's a real pity because (1) there seems to be no other open source skat engine and (2) XSkat *is* open source - just not gpl compatible
19:01:44funmanhow complex is xskat ?
19:01:48linuxstbamiconn: Yes, I agree. There's also the entire emulator world, most of which has the "no commercial use" clause. Fine for us in practice, but not GPL compatible...
19:02:54linuxstbamiconn: You just need to get the xskat author interested in Rockbox...
19:03:02gevaertslinuxstb: I'd consider "no commercial use" a deal breaker. That's not *just* GPL-incompatible
19:03:33BryanJacobsit might be nice to see a hardware player which comes with Rockbox stock
19:03:51BryanJacobsand that would be excluded by "no commercial use"
19:03:57gevaertsexactly. We don't want to forbid that
19:04:20gevaertsAlso, how about getting paid to record something?
19:04:32linuxstbgevaerts: That's what I meant by "in practice". I really don't see anyone using Rockbox commercially...
19:04:36BryanJacobsor using a Rockbox-powered device as a DJ
19:05:01amiconnHmm, the XSkat author violates the GPL himself
19:05:08gevaertslinuxstb: really? "commercial" doesn't imply big enterprises...
19:06:19funmanselling a rockboxed player on ebay for example?
19:06:24amiconnHmm, or not. The cardset is licensed under the GPL, but it's his own work, so he can dual license it
19:06:45BryanJacobsamiconn: you actually can't violate the GPL for something you own the copyright to
19:06:52amiconnyea
19:07:19gevaertsamiconn: also, whether using a cardset is linking in the GPL sense is another one of those nice grey areas
19:07:32BryanJacobsit's a shame Stallman didn't make a pluggable license (I understand why he didn't, I just don't think the GPL has been the unifier he hoped for)

19:07:54linuxstbBryanJacobs: Why can't you violate the GPL on your own software?

19:27:47BryanJacobs1MB will only be enough if I make them rings and rewrite libwavpack/unpack.c to handle smaller bits

19:28:09kugelfuzev2 (mkamsboot for example)
19:28:11BryanJacobsthe right solution is to make the hybrid-lossless code use little bits of audio instead of a whole block in a go
19:28:11kugelwe should probably take it until he changes his mind :)
19:28:16linuxstbBryanJacobs: I thought the intention was to interleave the data in the main audio buffer?

19:28:34kugelwith a big note *we can't promise anything*
19:28:45BryanJacobsthe issue is that there's no way to know how long it'll be before we can advance the buffer
19:28:51BryanJacobsmaybe I should just keep two ridx values
19:29:30BryanJacobssee, it could be that we don't need a WVC chunk until after reading the next 100 WV chunks
19:29:48linuxstbSo how does the interleaving work? Does it pay any attention to the file itself, or just buffers X bytes from file one, then Y bytes from file two?
19:29:49BryanJacobs"chunks" here being BUFFERING_DEFAULT_CHUNKSIZE bytes
19:29:57BryanJacobsthe latter
19:30:01BryanJacobs32k of one, 32k of the other
19:30:24linuxstbHmm, I would have expected you to look inside the file to interleave the data in the way it needs to be consumed by the codec.
19:30:48BryanJacobsbut see, that's the thing - the WVC blocks can be huge
19:30:52linuxstbThis is what I had in mind by "codec-specific" buffering.
19:30:54BryanJacobsI did that research back at the beginning
19:31:04linuxstbSo you're saying that's not feasible?
19:31:11BryanJacobswell, it will be for large buffers
19:31:24funmankugel: yes there is already dual boot support for fuzev2, in an external git repository
19:31:26BryanJacobsbut for small ones or large files we'll get a buffer full of WV
19:31:34BryanJacobsor WVC, with none of the other file having room
19:31:48kugelwhy is it not in SVN? :(
19:32:24BryanJacobshm.
19:32:28linuxstbSo do you need random access to the entire WVC block, or is it processed from start to end?
19:32:39funmanMrSomeone didn't do it yet / it didn't reach the top of my TODO list ;)
19:32:39BryanJacobsthe latter is true in the compact decoder
19:32:54BryanJacobsbut I haven't rewritten the hybrid-lossless code to behave that way yet
19:33:09BryanJacobsno random access is required but currently it does the whole block and CRC check in one loop
19:33:53BryanJacobsif it's OK to have 1MB chunks in the buffer then I can interleave the blocks
19:34:54kugelfunman: I'm going to write him
19:35:09amiconnIsn't there code that converts a lossy .wv + .wvc into a lossless .wv?
19:35:30BryanJacobsyes, there is
19:35:50amiconnThat code could be used to do the buffering, so that the in-memory stream is plain lossless .wv
19:35:51BryanJacobsit decodes the wv+wvc into PCM, then reencodes it as a lossless file
19:36:09amiconnOh, I thought it could be done without going through pcm
19:36:22BryanJacobsthe methodologies used by the hybrid encoder are incompatibly different from those used by the normal mode
19:36:53 Quit dys (No route to host)
19:37:46linuxstbBryanJacobs: What do you mean by "1MB chunks in the buffer" ?
19:38:06amiconnHmm, that leaves interleaved buffering. I guess both the .wv and the .wvc uses packets which relate to a fixed number of samples?
19:38:11BryanJacobsa Wavpack block can be 1MB in size
19:38:30BryanJacobsamiconn: that's a "block", yes
19:38:39BryanJacobsbut the size of the block is not predictable
19:38:42linuxstbAre blocks independent?
19:38:46BryanJacobsyes, they are
19:38:48amiconnSo you could just alternate between the .wv and .wvc blocks
19:39:00BryanJacobsamiconn: thus, up to 1MB interleaving
19:39:06amiconn?
19:39:10BryanJacobsI thought that would be too big - if not that makes the code simpler
19:39:10 Nick Horscht86 is now known as Horscht (n=Horscht2@p4FD4E2C3.dip.t-dialin.net)
19:39:17BryanJacobsa block can be 1MB in size
19:39:32linuxstbBryanJacobs: The difference (I think) is that your loader is not parsing the data to interleave at block boundaries?
19:39:37BryanJacobsthat's right
19:39:37amiconnAh, hmm.
19:39:56BryanJacobsI'll go do that, shouldn't take long
19:40:01amiconnThen I think lowmem targets need to be excluded from hybrid wavpack
19:40:02BryanJacobsthe wavpack block header format is really simple
19:40:12BryanJacobsamiconn: well, if we do it this way
19:40:22amiconnOr maybe they could use a different method. Just decode on load, and buffer pcm
19:40:27JdGordon|kugel: I didnt get around to looking at 8799 last night :/ nothing major has changed since the last one though yeah?
19:40:32BryanJacobsamiconn: whoa!
19:40:33BryanJacobsno!
19:40:43linuxstbBryanJacobs: But I think 1MB is still too big... Can you decode (e.g.) half a block at a time?
19:40:48linuxstb(or even less)?
19:40:51amiconnLess efficient than buffering the compressed data, but not that much of an issue on flash targets
19:40:52CIA-71New commit by Ubuntuxer (r21866): Make the progress bar in game mode puzzle shows the level process (part of FS #10139)
19:41:02BryanJacobslinuxstb: yes, I need at most 4k worth of readahead
19:41:17BryanJacobsbut, like I've been saying, I have to change the unpack.c code to do that
19:41:21BryanJacobsit's on my to-do list
19:41:21amiconnBryanJacobs: Hmm, then you could interleave partial blocks
19:41:30BryanJacobsamiconn: you mean like I'm doing now?
19:41:47BryanJacobsthere is a thought process in here, really there is...
19:41:50linuxstbBryanJacobs: Then I think that's the way forward... 1MB is just too big.
19:42:01BryanJacobswell, I'm glad we've all arrived at the same conclusion
19:42:16amiconnI don't know how you're doing it atm, but using 15MB static buffers doesn't sound like interleaved buffering in the main buffer
19:42:30kugelJdGordon|: uhm, nothing major, yes, but I found another bug
19:42:38JdGordon|bah :p
19:42:54BryanJacobsamiconn: it's interleaved in the main buffer but I need to copy some stuff out to be able to do bufadvance() in a timely fashion
19:42:57amiconnWhat's the size limit of a .wvc block? I guess less than 1MB?
19:43:05BryanJacobsstill 1MB
19:43:13BryanJacobswvc files are bigger than .wv
19:43:31amiconnErr, I meant the lossy (smaller) one of course
19:43:39BryanJacobs"The blocks may contain any number of samples (well, up to 131072), either stereo or mono. Obviously, putting more samples in each block is more efficient because of reduced header overhead, but they are reasonably efficient down to even a thousand samples. I have set the max size to 1 MB for the whole block, but this is arbitrary"
19:43:50linuxstbThat sounds like APE blocks - they can be very large, so Rockbox decodes them in small chunks.
19:44:37BryanJacobsI think I'm going to hit those drawings first because if the main buffering system supports multiple files this whole thing is not needed
19:44:59BryanJacobsbut I will make the codec do partial blocks before the summer's over
19:45:19BryanJacobsoh, and mono/seeking support of course ;-)
19:45:27amiconnThe loader needs to interlave the data in the order the decoder needs it, using rather small chunks. Otherwise this scheme won't work on lowmem targets
19:45:28linuxstbMaking the codec do partial blocks seems like something it should do anyway...
19:45:54BryanJacobslinuxstb: yes, should I do that first then? I'll work on whatever, all the tasks are fun
19:45:57JdGordon|kugel: what bug you find?

19:58:52BryanJacobsand remember, the block is 1MB large
19:59:07BryanJacobsso either we buffer it and then memcpy to rearrange it
19:59:11BryanJacobsor we read it from the disk twice
19:59:45amiconnNot two *whole* passes. Decoding certainly consists of several stages. I would think that the first stage is enough to find out the order in which data is consumed

20:00:05BryanJacobsno, it doesn't quite work that way - it's a multipass filter

20:06:56BryanJacobsI think we'd have to go most of the way through the decoding process in order to get things sorted out correctly - and remember this would all take place in the buffering thread blocking disk reads!
20:07:34BryanJacobswe'd be losing the advantages of having a non-PCM buffer

20:08:38funmanbertrik: what do you think we should logf() ?
20:08:39bertrikfunman, I assume you're talking about the lowmem ams sansas
20:08:46funmanbertrik: no i am not
20:09:18funmani am talking about the filesystem corruption and deadlocks which happens when using a uSD card
20:09:23kugelmy fuze just seems rock solid
20:09:42funmankugel: do you use uSD cards a lot?
20:09:51kugelalmost exclusivly
20:10:23funmani don't know much about these, but i was told there is different categories which relate to speed
20:10:32funmanperhaps we can confine the problem to specific card categories?
20:11:38BryanJacobsbye all
20:11:46kugelmy uSD is a pretty standard sandisk one, I'm not even surprised it works so welll
20:11:50 Quit BryanJacobs ("Java user signed off")
20:11:52funmani only have one card, and rockbox debug menu reports 25Mbits/s just like the internal storage
20:12:29funmankugel: do you mean you have (heard about) problems with not-sandisk cards?
20:12:49funmanalso, can you tell what is a "non-standard" card?
20:14:42kugelfunman: it's a cheap sandisk one. and sandisk "invented" SD, so I expect them to respect the standard more than others
20:15:07saratogafunman: i would take his fuzev2 and then work on it if you get time
20:15:16saratogaif not you can always forward it to another interested developer later
20:16:24funmani don't want to be a post relay
20:16:31amiconnBryanJacobs (logs), linuxstb: The rockbox wavpack codec already handles partial block decoding afaics.
20:16:44kugelsaratoga: heh, that's what I thought too (I already messaged him)
20:16:50funmani think kugel wants to work on his fuzev2 (at least i understood so)
20:17:30amiconnAnd it also looks like there are several decoding steps. The one that actually consumes the input stream(s) seems to be words.c: get_words()
20:17:40kugelI told him that we cannot promise anything (he's obviously aware of this anyway) and that we share the stuff between each other if one runs out of luck/time/energy
20:19:19amiconnCall chain is wavpack.c: codec_main() -> wputils.c: WavpackUnpackSamples() -> unpack.c: unpack_samples() -> words.c: get_words()

20:30:25Zagoramiconn: no. I'm fixing that now.
20:32:00gevaertsI don't know how to make it happen. The last line before "Terminated" was "2009-07-14 13:47:22 Completed build h300"
20:32:28*amiconn wonders how he could monitor the build client once it's running in the background
20:32:52gevaertsThis was for revision 21859 on client hex

20:34:11amiconnI don't use screen, and I would like to run it completely in the background, so that it starts running after boot without me logging on
20:34:23amiconnI.e. from an init script or cronjob

20:37:29FlynDicefunman: Yes I've been reading the sd code but mainly to troubleshoot the card init problems caused by voltage scaling.
20:37:42amiconnOf course I would log the output to a file. That still leaves the question how to monitor whether it has crashed/exited
20:37:56gevaertsZagor: what will "my $pid = $builds{$id}{pid};

20:38:35Zagorsimilar to null
20:38:43gevaertsZagor: and if you give that to kill? Could that then send the signal to itself?
20:39:34Zagorgevaerts: no idea. testing it now.
20:39:44*gevaerts suspects that this might be the problem
20:40:28Zagoryup, killing undef indeeds kills yourself

21:12:00kugelU simulates usb insertion, I assume if you hold the special button to charge-only it will simulate charg-only in the sim too
21:12:35linuxstbscorche|sh: Do you have any intention to carry on with the AV300? Seeing it in kugel's patch, I'm wondering if that port can be killed...

21:14:07funmanFlynDice: bit 23 set in SD_APP_OP_COND argument comes from OF disassembly
21:14:08WPSi already tried that key combination but it doesn't work...
21:14:27kugeldoes it simulate USB at least?
21:14:43funmanFlynDice: it could well be some SanDisk code reused in their PP and AMS players ..
21:15:14WPSyes, in a way meaning it only shows the usb sign
21:16:29FlynDicefunman: I have checked sandisk v1 spec and the linux source code and they seem to not use the 1<< 23
21:16:50FlynDicefor v1 sd
21:17:04funmanFlynDice: i think this is controller-specific (voltages supported by the controller)
21:17:07kugelthe internal memory might needed it?
21:17:12kugelneed*
21:17:27funmankugel: i have seen no distinction between internal storage and microSD
21:17:32FlynDicedo you mean the as3525 or the sd controller?
21:17:59kugelfunman: I mean, maybe the internal does need it, but the microsd doesn't care so they just didn't special case it
21:18:06funmanthe sd controller embedded in the as3525, and the (identical, pl180) sd controller added by SanDisk in their players
21:18:25funmankugel: what's "it" ?
21:18:32kugelthe 1<<23 thing
21:18:50FlynDicelet me look again but I found that the as3525 could supply 2.0 - 3.6
21:18:53funmanplease check what it means exactly
21:19:08funmanwe have to give the cards the list of voltages we support
21:19:37funmanfor sdv2 cards we just say we support all voltages, and for sdv1 we only say we support the lowest voltage (bit 23 is the last bit in the voltage array)
21:20:06funmanFlynDice: we can't make assumption for the sd controller attached to the internal storage since it's not in the original as3525 design
21:20:08kugelcould that be the problem of some clips?
21:20:11FlynDicethe 1<<23 says we support only 3.5-3.6
21:20:21funmanah, so it is the highest voltage

21:31:08FlynDicefunman: the internal storage worked fine... but maybe that's why voltage scaling was borking the uSd cards, they were using lower voltage...

21:41:23shotofaddsgevaerts: I like to present as many options as possible ;-)
21:41:35shotofaddsalso it will be possible to still boot from NAND if there's no SD present
21:42:45gevaertsshotofadds: I suspect the multidriver work misses something : the storage system asks the drivers how many drives they have, but it should also tell them what the drive numbers will be
21:43:55shotofaddsyes, I figured there might be a step missing and the current behaviour is "by chance". i'm not sure how that might work, though.
21:44:06kugelis it really the plan to run rockbox off the SD for the long term?
21:44:23shotofaddsit's not as crazy as you might think

22:16:27kugelI believe in ku-ku, it's some sort hardware problem. Not that the hardware is broken, but that it operates at the very border (or even out of) the sd specs
22:16:51kugelhigh-speed class 6 sounds already suspicious, although I'm not familiar with these cards in general
22:17:54kugelI wonder if it would helpful to log what his cards responds to our commands
22:20:16funmanHow can we know the "class" of µSD cards by software ?

22:23:53bertrikfunman, isn't it in the CSD (at least for v2 SD cards)?
22:25:20funmanthe CCC (Card Command Classes) ? The spec shows a fixed value for it
22:25:48funmanit only defines which subsets of commands are available, not speed
22:28:01funmanTRAN_SPEED (max. data transfer rate) only has 2 possible values (25Mbit/s and 50Mbit/s)
22:28:16bertrikamiconn, the codec in the iriver Hxxx (the uda1380) can also handle other sampling rates, like 12, 24, 48 kHz
22:28:30funmanit is only 50Mbit/s for High-Speed
22:28:46amiconnYes, but only if the necessary clock signal is available
22:28:48kugelI don't have highspeed I think
22:29:09bertrikI ran into this when trying to re-use the uda1380 codec driver for the meizus
22:30:16bertrikthe meizus have a separate clock signal going to the codec (MCLK), so you don't have to use the PLL in the codec to reconstruct it
22:30:22amiconnAll our coldfire targets can only clock the i2s bus for multiples or fractions of 44.1kHz
22:30:28bertrikare we sure the irivers don't have this too?
22:30:46amiconnYes, MCLK is locked to the xtal
22:31:19bertrikhm, as far as I understood, it's locked to the LRCK signal, not to a crystal

22:37:01kugelfunman: should I worry if I get "SD bank error" once in a while (randomly and not reproducable)?
22:37:28kugelJdGordon|: btw, what was the reason to not use home to go to the wps in menus/filetree?
22:37:38funmankugel: yes, did you get the status printed?
22:37:50JdGordon|kugel: home goes to menu
22:38:02kugelfunman: 0x10
22:38:07funmankugel: and the bank number?
22:38:08JdGordon|seen as that *is* the home
22:38:08amiconnbertrik: On an i2s bus, one of the devices needs to be the clock master. In theory both the codec and the cpu can be clock master, but in the coldfire targets the codec doesn't have its own clock source, so the cpu needs to be i2s clock master
22:38:25funmankugel: do you have a 4GB Fuze?
22:38:28kugelJdGordon|: IIUC it could go to the main menu from the wps, and to the wps from trees
22:38:48JdGordon|home+select is wps everywhere
22:38:55kugelfunman: no. although I just did get the message on my clip
22:39:31kugelisn't there only 1 "goto wps" action?
22:39:36amiconnAnd the MCLK is locked to the xtal, just offering a few discrete dividers
22:39:49bertrikamiconn, I think it's the same on the meizus, where the CPU sends the i2s bit clock AND a separate MCLK
22:40:03funmankugel: which capacity is your clip ?
22:40:05bertrikamiconn, so the MCLK is always the same frequency?
22:40:12bertrik(on the irivers I mean)
22:40:18kugel2GB, like my fuze
22:40:33amiconnSo you can either build a coldfire target that handles 11.025/22.05/44.1/88.2kHz *or* one that handles 8/12/16/24/32/48/64/96kHz
22:40:37funmankugel: so you got this message at startup, or while operating?
22:40:56kugelJdGordon|: as far as I see it, what I'm thinking should be doable (that's how the OF behaves too)
22:41:01amiconnChanging between these groups would require changing the main xtal
22:41:03kugelat startup
22:41:32kugelI wouldn't trust my clip if I didn't have it once on my fuze also

22:41:34*shotofadds managed to get red on the new build servers only ... looks like the ipodcolor build took place in a 'dirty' build folder.
22:41:43amiconnbertrik: Not the same, but derived from the same base clock just by simple dividers. No PLL for that
22:42:08JdGordon|kugel: it could do it, of course, but thats not good... the menu is a much more important quick goto screen than the WPS..
22:43:16*gevaerts investigates
22:43:23amiconnZagor: "1247605338 cpu seconds" ??
22:43:29kugeloh dear, my clip is so broken, it plays completely wrong radio stations
22:43:40bertrikamiconn, the meizu generates the MCLK simply by dividing from the 200 MHz main clock, so it's never exact (but very close)
22:43:52Zagoramiconn: hehe
22:44:04kugelJdGordon|: really? I'm thinking the opposite is true :)
22:44:09gevaertsZagor: I have some left over build directories for the last few days
22:44:16JdGordon|that doesnt surprise me... you're wrong!
22:44:19bertrikthe I2S bit clock is a divided from the MCLK clock and the LRCK is divided from the bit clock again (/32)
22:44:26kugelJdGordon|: you apparently also failed to adapt the radio screen :p

22:44:34gevaertsMaybe also rm -rf a new build directory in case it was still there?
22:47:00JdGordon|Zagor: is there any thoughts about having the client say its slow instead of having the server tell the client which group its in?
22:47:11JdGordon|my laptop should not be in the fast group
22:47:34*kugel doesn't think that's a good idea
22:47:40ZagorJdGordon|: no, the idea is that the server decides based on past performance
22:47:45B4gderslow has to be a relative thing
22:47:46bertrikamiconn, what approximate frequency is the MCLK on the coldfire targets?
22:47:57kugela) the border is hard to tell, b) the border is likely going to move
22:48:16bertrikas far as I understood the default on the s5l8700 is 256 times the sample frequency
22:48:25ZagorJdGordon|: you are right on the edge. a few more builds and you'll drop down to the slow category again.
22:48:36JdGordon|ok
22:49:12Zagorsome clients will likely be moving between the categories

23:00:41funmansoap: thanks!
23:02:22amiconnUnhelpful: Did you see my remarks regarding asm offset generation on the various architectures?
23:02:23bertrikamiconn, looking at the uda1380 code, it does seem to enable an internal PLL to reconstruct the clock signal rather than use an external clock
23:02:50bertrikit sets bit DAC_CLK in register 0 to enable the "WSPLL"
23:02:55amiconnAnd what would that help us?
23:03:16Unhelpfulamiconn: yes, i "sort of" fixed it, in that it will unconditionally accept either _AD_ or AD_ as the symbol prefix, and .word or .long for the data. i don't think that ought to be a problem.
23:03:29amiconnIt only helps for supporting different sample rates if we can feed it an *external* clock, i.e. not generated by the cpu
23:03:41 Quit steven (Remote closed the connection)
23:04:29amiconnIn fact it does help this way - the irivers and iaudios can only play back 11/22/44/88kHz and record the same sample rates (except 88 for the UDA) from analog inputs, but the H1x0 is able to record all standard sample rates from s/pdif
23:04:45Unhelpfuli think the small ambiguity should be OK, provided devs don't decide they want to name symbols _AD_ or use a different type and expect them hidden
23:05:56bertrikI think we should strife to use direct clocks instead of reconstructing them, unless not possible in another way of course
23:06:17amiconnYou cannot reconstruct a clock that isn't there in some way
23:06:19bertriks/pdif sample rates include 44.1 etc?
23:06:45bertrikI don't understand what you mean to say
23:07:11amiconnThe iaudios support all standard rates from 8 to 96kHz for s/pdif *input*. S/pdif output is limited the same way as analog input and output
23:07:40amiconnThe only exception is loop-through monitoring during s/pdif recording
23:08:20amiconnThis does just output the same s/pdif signal present on the input, without any processing. The analog monitor sounds a bit funny in this case
23:09:07funmanWe can get the card class from the status register (sent on the data line after SD_SEND_STATUS command)
23:11:15amiconnUnhelpful: I'll check what gcc spits out for 'char', 'short' and 'long long'
23:12:47Unhelpfulamiconn: do we really care? if we tell people to use "int", that's good enough, i'd think. the value is the point, and i doubt there's much need for >32-bit asmdef values, especially as pretty much nothing can use them as immediates.
23:13:22amiconnJust curiosity

23:22:07amiconnlong long ends up as 2*.word or 2*.long depending on architecture
