01:20:24kisak_on http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaFuze down in the Fuze v2 section there is a speculation "Presumably based on an AS353x CPU like the ClipV2." Isn't the development of the Fuse v2 to the point that we know that it contains an AS3525?

05:14:48RandomInsanoSo working on making a bootloader. Just editing the telechip's main() function. When I look at the code with objdump, I'm expecting to see some of my magic numbers (0x80003000 for PORTA) in the assembler code. Should they be in there directly or might GCC be mucking around with them?
05:15:20CIA-5New commit by funman (r25754): as3525v2: crashless cpufreq switching ...
05:16:03funmanRandomInsano: telechips is ARM, right? 0x80003000 could be calculated in 2 instructions instead of 1 load from memory
05:16:17RandomInsanoIt is arm.
05:16:44RandomInsanoThat might be entirely possible. I'm also setting everything to 0xFFFFFFFF and seeing nothing about 0xFFFF
05:16:44funmanlike, mov rX, #0x80000000 ... and rX, rX, #3000
05:17:01RandomInsanoInteresting. I'll look for something along those lines.
05:17:29funmanif you can't see the value with an hex editor, perhaps running grep on objdump output might help
05:17:30RandomInsanoI'm extremely new to real assembler. My comp sci department uses the fake LC3 to teach that stuff
05:17:49RandomInsanoI'm doing that exactly. Well, piping to less
05:17:51funman(afaik objdump sometimes use base 10, so be sure to grep for both representations)
05:18:23 Quit fdinel (Quit: Miranda IM! Smaller, Faster, Easier. http://miranda-im.org)
05:19:01funmanhum.. it won't help if this value is calculated on 2 instructions though. But I remember most of PP registers can be represented as an immediate value (8 bits + shift), so they show up in objdump output if mov is used

05:19:03RandomInsanoThat makes things trickier :(
05:19:39funmanbtw are you looking at OF code ?
05:19:54RandomInsanoBit of both, but this specifically is mine
05:20:06RandomInsanoIt doesn't *seem* to be working on my DAP.
05:20:25RandomInsanoI'm putting all of PORTA high and when I test for voltages I get floating.

05:21:07RandomInsanoGood plan.
05:21:14RandomInsanoTime to try this 'paste bin'
05:21:45funmanbtw, wouldn't (gpioa+4) be 0x80003010 ?
05:21:49RandomInsanohttp://pastebin.com/vtx59D5p
05:21:58RandomInsanoOh poop, you're right.
05:22:15RandomInsanoCurse you decimal!
05:22:30funmanit's not decimal, it's int32_t :)
05:22:34RandomInsanoWait no, I should be good.
05:23:25RandomInsano+4 should be 0x800003004 I would think.
05:24:02RandomInsanoWell, in... Whatever. I know that the direction register is a 4 byte offset from the base of porta
05:24:38RandomInsanoAlso my comment is a tad outdated :P
05:26:24funmanRandomInsano: no.. +4 skips 4 elements of whatever gpio_a points to, here it's an int32_t so it skips 4*4 bytes
05:26:26RandomInsanoEverything looks okay. I have no idea if the firmware crashes before this point or what. I'm using a TCC77x chip as my base, but I assume none of it's initialization stuff runs before main()
05:26:33RandomInsanoOh crap!
05:26:36RandomInsanoYou're right
05:26:58funmanfirst thing you need is some visual output: backlight or button light if it's present
05:27:05RandomInsanoComing from a 'java for everyone' university, I'm not to great with these pointers
05:27:28funmanhope you can learn with rockbox :)
05:27:31RandomInsanoYeah, tried for backlight, turns out it's harder than I thought. So I can use my voltmeter to check for high output
05:28:14RandomInsanoThe anode and cathode seem to get power 100% of the time. I'm assuming there's a transistor nestled away somewhere.
05:30:02chrisbmaybe i can boot into sansa os before docking...

05:31:38phanboy4Does the rockbox scrobber have a built-in limit on the size the log can reach?

07:31:52chrisbmy playlists go into the root directory by default...how can i set up the default directory to be /PLAYLISTS ?
07:42:51S_a_i_n_tchrisb: Open the config file (config.cfg) and change the path in there.
07:43:39S_a_i_n_tchrisb: Add/Edit the line so it appears as "playlist catalog directory: /Playlists"
07:44:43S_a_i_n_tyou'll need to do this on your PC (well, you *can* do it on the DAP, but it's a lot easier to do it using your PC) using a text editor, Notepad is OK to use in this case.
07:44:44LloreanCan't you also just do it from the context menu when selecting that folder or something?
07:44:52LloreanMost options have a way to change them without editing config files
07:45:15S_a_i_n_tLlorean: I *think* there's something like that, but I wasn't sure...so I went with the way I know.
07:47:31S_a_i_n_tBut, I think you're right...I believe you can just create a new .dir on the DAp, name it whatever you want, then bring up the context menu on it and select "Set as Playlist Directory" (or similar)...but I'm not 10% if that is the *exact* details, and I don't have a gadget I can check it on nearby.
07:47:53S_a_i_n_t*100% (lol)
07:48:04Lloreanchrisb: Well, check the context menu first. It could save you some effort. :)
07:51:36S_a_i_n_tHehehe...depending on your idea of "effort", I've personally always found the virtual keyboard a _nightmare_ to use (on the iPods at least) to use myself ;)
07:51:58S_a_i_n_tI tend to delegate renaming things to a PC :)
07:52:05LloreanYeah, but if you have a folder already, there's no vkeyboard use needed
07:53:10S_a_i_n_tI imagine the virtual keyboard would be a LOT easier to use on touchscreen targets, but I've never had a chance to test that theory.
07:53:59crculverS_a_i_n_t, Thanks
07:54:12CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
07:54:12*S_a_i_n_t nods
07:54:26crculverMost of the album art I have embedded is hi res, though and this requires the image be less than 96 kb.
07:54:44crculverBut maybe it could be a starting point for FLAC support
07:55:18S_a_i_n_tSetting up AA for Rockbox can be a daunting task...I'm fairly certain there are a few apps that can automate this task though.
07:57:22S_a_i_n_tI believe Mp3Tag can run through a dir and extract embedded AA recursively
07:57:38saratogatheres been some discussion of that patch, but I see none of it was actually added to the patch
07:57:47saratogaperhaps unhelpful or kugel could add their thoughts
07:59:09*Unhelpful thinks that the issue ought to be fixable with the right implementation - a jpeg decoder with a hook to read the next bit of image data, imo.

08:13:10crculverS_a_i_n_t, The whole point of embedding was to avoid the clutter of extra files
08:13:49S_a_i_n_tyes, well...it all depends on wether or not you want AA in Rockbox really...
08:14:19S_a_i_n_tthere are several different naming/placement conventions...I'd suggest looking on the wiki to find one that suits you.
08:15:25S_a_i_n_tIt is *easy* to avoid "clutter" (visually at least) by just changing the file properties to "hidden" for all your AA...then you won't see them in the filebrowser on your DAP at least ;)

09:10:38amiconnThe m3 asm is one of the most complex low-level greylib functions, because of the interleaved calculation and serial output
09:11:51 Join PRINCESS_FLUFF [0] (~princess@modemcable116.35-20-96.mc.videotron.ca)
09:12:12amiconnThe duplication is necessary since the greylib works by using fully black or fully white pixels, but the m3's lcd controller is 2bpp
09:12:55wodzamiconn: ok now I understand
09:13:03PRINCESS_FLUFFIs there a way (not too technical) to change the output volume for some plugins? When I listen to SPC music, the volume is about half as high as other songs. So I inevitably turn it up only to have my eardrums bleed from the next song if it's not an SPC file (spc = super nintendo music files)
09:13:31PRINCESS_FLUFFThis is on a Sansa E200 btw
09:13:42wodzamiconn: so basicaly I can loop this part of code right?
09:13:47amiconnLines 437..439 do exactly that.
09:14:10amiconnYes, since in your case the lcd controller is connected in parallel
09:15:15wodzamiconn: how do I test if I do things correctly? Display some jpg or is there some more analitical test included?
09:15:24amiconnIn case of the m3, I'm precalculating one word worth of pixels (lines 404..439), then outputting it bit by bit while calculating the next one in the main loop (444..543)
09:15:53amiconn...and finally outputting the last word (reusing the tail from another routine)
09:16:47amiconnDisplaying a .jpg should work as a test, however, you probably need to calibrate the lib for the hd200's lcd panel

09:17:16wodzso I can use 404..439 to process one word, send it to the lcd and loop this until finished right?
09:17:43wodzhow do I calibrate?
09:17:43amiconnFor this purpose there are two test plugins you need to build: test_scanrate and test_grey
09:19:08amiconntest_scanrate in turn needs a working lcd_blit_mono()
09:19:33 Join efyx [0] (~efyx@lap34-1-82-225-185-146.fbx.proxad.net)
09:20:03wodzand lcd_blit_mono needs working lcd_mono_data
09:21:37amiconnFirst, you run test_scanrate and increase/decrease the frequency until the black blob at the left stops, or nearly stops. Note down the frequency, then create an #elif section at the top of grey_core.c for your lcd, taking the m3 section as a basis
09:22:31amiconnChange the #define LCD_SCANRATE to the nearest HZ value of frequency you measured.
09:22:53amiconnThen rebuild the plugins, so test_grey will use the new value
09:24:37amiconnIf you run test_grey, you'll see 9 rectangles in a black frame. With left/right you can change the grey level you're adjusting, with up/down you change the value
09:24:40 Join einhirn [0] (~Miranda@p54858B1B.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
09:25:22amiconnThe outer 8 rectangles are use ordinary ordered dither to approximate a level of grey, only the central one uses the actual greylib mechanism
09:26:14amiconnThe goal is to adjust the center rectangle (with up/down) to match the brightness of the left, right, top and bottom rectangles at each of the levels

09:27:21amiconnIn order to do this, watch the display in a not too bright environment, keep it away far enough so the dithering works (arm's length) and try looking exactly perpendicular (as contrast varies with angle)
09:28:05amiconnWhen finished, exit the plugin. It will write a result file to the root. This result file can then be used to create the lcdlinear[] array by using interpolation
09:28:24amiconnThis step isn't automated yet..... sorry
09:29:00kugelare all these steps documented somewhere?
09:29:51wodzso the workflow is: 1) Implement lcd_mono_data 2) rework lcd_blit_mono() 3) compile test_scanrate 4) measure scanrate 5)adjust settings in grey_core.c 6) implement lcd_grey_data 7) rework lcd_blit_grey_phase 8) fiddle with test_grey 9) implement lcdlinear[] based on data from test_grey

12:52:20amiconnAlso I forgot to mention something: If the scanrate is very high, and the update function is slow (like it's the case with M3), you may use a fractional update frequency in the greylib
12:53:33amiconnScanrate: 150Hz, update frequency: 50Hz; otherwise the update would draw too much cpu power (due to the serial transfer)

14:15:39amiconnIt dims and comes back? That's not how it's supposed to be
14:17:47wodzdoes it shoud run up/down or left right when unsynced?
14:18:25amiconnThat depends on how the panel is controlled. On most targets it runs up/down. On the M3 it runs sideways
14:18:44wodzhmm
14:18:47amiconnIf that's the case on MPIO as well, you should set the appropriate #define in test_scanrate

14:34:55*S_a_i_n_t wishes that the "line selector" used magenta as a "magic colour" for transparency also...
14:36:56S_a_i_n_tSo that I could use text colour as the sole visual reference for selection. An effect the theme I'm working on now could do with.

14:40:13S_a_i_n_tAt the moment, it is possible to do this effect, but only if your backdrop is a solid colour...if you have a gradient effect (or anything else other than solid colour actually) in your backdrop this effect won't work. >:(
14:41:34 Part b0hoon ("Back to work.")
14:43:48pixelmacan't you use the pointer selector with line text colour?
14:44:34S_a_i_n_tpixelma: If I wanted to use the pointer...then, yes.
14:45:10S_a_i_n_tWell, actually...no, you can use the pointer *or* the line selector, and only change the text colour with the line selector.
14:45:42S_a_i_n_tthe pointer also annoyingly offsets the icons.
14:48:16S_a_i_n_tpixelma: Yes, just checked up on that now. You can't change the text colour with the pointer, only with the line selector.
14:48:49S_a_i_n_tMy desired effect would be to just use the text colour (or the change in text colour rather) as the "selector".

14:58:32geertvdijkhey all, just updated rockbox to current build again on my sansa, and noticed now that when the screen goes dark after a minute, and you then plug in your headphones (without touching buttons or turning wheels), it wakes up. any plans for pause on unplug/resume on plug?
15:00
15:00:07geertvdijkit's an e200 btw, might that be of any importance
15:01:27S_a_i_n_tI'd say it will almost certainly be implemented at some stage...
15:01:46S_a_i_n_tWhen however, would be impossible to predict.

15:04:12S_a_i_n_tNo idea sorry...
15:04:21gevaertsgeertvdijk: if the hardware can do it (and from what you say it might well do), it should simple. We do have pause on unplug on some devices
15:04:59geertvdijkgevaerts: thanks, I'm going to look into it tonight when I get home. don't expect to be able to do much, but I just might. any idea in which files I should look?

15:06:10gevaertsgeertvdijk: start by looking for HAVE_HEADPHONE_DETECTION. Possibly some GPIO debug screen can be helpful too
15:06:56kugelgeertvdijk: I'm not aware than any of the sansas the feature you're describing

15:07:19geertvdijkkugel: neither was I, but I thoroughly tested it as it really surprised me.
15:07:23geertvdijkgevaerts: will do, thanks. if I find out anything and/or need some help i'll get right bakc here :)
15:07:33geertvdijk-but +so
15:07:33kugelwhat sansa?
15:07:42geertvdijke250v1, no fm radio
15:08:28gevaertsgeertvdijk: if you find a GPIO pin that does this, you only need to implement headphones_inserted() basically
15:09:34geertvdijkgevaerts: that does sound like something I could do, as long as there's other devices that do it already ^^
15:10:58geertvdijkok
15:11:19geertvdijkthis is really odd now, it now does it only sporadically, and I'm making sure each time I check that I'm not accidently touching any buttons/sd cards
15:12:16JdGordonkugel: magenta for that might not be so trivial
15:12:48*JdGordon doesnt think using text colour as the selection thingy would work so well
15:13:17gevaertsgeertvdijk: concentrate on the GPIO debug screen, if the e200 has one (which it probably does)
15:13:24kugeljust disable selector drawing completely if the bar color is the magic color

15:16:49S_a_i_n_tyep.
15:17:00S_a_i_n_tIt's pink, not transparent as I'd expected.
15:18:17kugeltransparency might give some nice effects if used with gradient bars (and implemented properly)
15:18:46geertvdijkgevaerts: so far nothing, but there seem to be more values listed than fit on the screen. do you happen to know if these are all ADC-related things (as the last fully visible ones are)?
15:19:09gevaertsno idea
15:20:18JdGordonadding trancparency will slow it down a fair bit ownt it?
15:20:59kugelI doubt
15:21:36kugelit doesn't really matter if you mix two predefined patters or 1 predefined pattern with the background color
15:21:39JdGordonlcd_fillrect() cant do a simple memcpy() or memset() if that were added
15:22:25JdGordonthat is done on the area, then the text is added
15:22:31kugelit can memcpy from the background color, memset might not be possible. but you usually cannot use mem*
15:22:42kugelon color targets anyway since a pixel is more than 1byte

18:15:35linuxstbarchivator: And better quality...
18:15:44archivatorFor now, removing .talk files for English, adding voicing to plugins/database, that kinda thing.
18:15:55archivatorAnnouncing the artist/track, too :)
18:16:07gevaertsBasically voicing everything that currently isn't
18:16:12linuxstbThat could also be achieved with talk clips though. (the database)
18:16:36linuxstbOr maybe not easily...
18:16:44archivatorlinuxstb: right, and the moment you change a single tag, you'd need to re-voice everything
18:17:09archivatorWell, not *everything*, but it'd be rather hard to maintain
18:17:14gevaertsIt's a tradeoff I think. Regenerating talk clips every time isn't that wonderful
18:17:24S_a_i_n_tAnnouncing track info in the wps would be cool, also volume, anything that changes really...awesome.
18:17:42*S_a_i_n_t sends good vibes archivator's way.
18:17:52gevaertsIf I'd use voice, I guess I'd prefer voice clips for the menus and TTS for track info
18:18:28*linuxstb wonders what happened to midgey's work on voicing plugins
18:18:41gevaertslinuxstb: wasn't that just translating?
18:18:48gevaertsOr was it both?

18:19:02linuxstbgevaerts: Hmm, I'm not sure...
18:19:06*S_a_i_n_t *thinks* it was both...
18:19:15S_a_i_n_t*but, isn't sure either.
18:19:15archivatorIn any case, the general consensus is that my current situation with the dependencies can't be fixed quickly, correct?
18:19:40linuxstbarchivator: I think the current consensus is that no-one who is here can fix it quickly...

20:44:11gevaertsmaybe
20:44:18gevaertsI haven't looked in detail
20:44:22kugelI thought we wanted to use os capabilities (or libs that are as close to the os as possible)
20:45:12kugelor maybe we just wanted alternatives for sdl so that we don't rely on sdl being available on the target plattform
20:45:32gevaertson n900 you basically want either gstreamer or pulseaudio
20:46:46kugelI think my alsa-sim work actualy uses pulseaudio, there's some strange interactions between them I haven't figured out completely yet
20:47:03kugelbut I read that alsa wraps around pulseaudio which wraps around alsa
20:47:14gevaertsyes, it's an interesting setup
20:48:15kugelI'm quite happy with the alsa thing, as we basically only need plain pcm playback. the only drawback seems the volume changing, but that's software volume changing is acceptable IMO
20:48:35kugelalso alsa should be available on every linux setup

20:49:44kugelwell it's a definitely a nice to have, but I expect you'd rather use hardware volume buttons (which affect the whole system) or some OS widget for that on mobile devices
20:50:04kugelbut I think a desktop app should have that
20:50:44kugelall the other linux programs I looked at also do sw volume changing, but in a later step (not in the dsp) as I currently implemented
20:51:00kugelthe only difference is the 3s delay when changing volume :P
20:51:07LloreanWell, I mean, isn't that as simple as allowing software volume adjustment in Rockbox, but disabling the keys on targets where good hardware volume is considered the "better" solution (and setting the default volume to line leve)

20:51:26LloreanThen people can still adjust it through the settings if they want it set at a specific level relative to their other apps, but won't accidentally adjust it all the time.
20:52:03LloreanI mean "as simple" in terms of the disabling of the buttons, not necessarily the implementation of software volume.
20:52:34kugeldisabling the buttons would be complicating it a slight bit :) I don't think there's a need to do that
20:52:58LloreanWell, if we're depending on hardware volume, there's no real reason there should be separate Rockbox volume controls in the WPS too

20:55:21LloreanIt reduces complication - two sets of volume controls are complicated.
20:55:46LloreanIn cases where we cannot 'steal' the hardware volume buttons for use as Rockbox volume when it's in the foreground, I think we should just treat them as *the* volume buttons and not have our own.
20:56:15kugelbut it's not confusing, on normal PCs you have a much wider variety of abilities to change volume. people will just use what suits them best
20:56:17domonokyfml: maybe you can combine those language patchs ? I also like "Tastenkürzel" better then "spezialtaste".
20:56:33gevaertsAt least with pulseaudio you can set the volume per stream
20:56:46Lloreankugel: On normal PCs you also have a speaker knob, which is the primary thing you use to adjust volume after you've got the apps set up relative to one another.
20:56:58gevaertsi.e. the rockbox volume controls could be rockbox only while still leaving it to the environment
20:57:14LloreanI'm not saying disable the ability to adjust the volume
20:57:22LloreanI'm just saying, not map keys to it in the WPS / List.
20:57:24LloreanUse the setting.
20:57:31kugelgevaerts: with pulseaudio you even get a third way if I understood it correctly
20:58:00fmldomonoky: But then it's weird. We do not assign somethingto the "Tastenkürzel" (but the phrase says so). We either assign Tastenkürzel to a function or we assign function to the Spezialtaste.
20:58:45kugelgevaerts: do you think I should rather look into pulseaudio again? I thought using alsa directly is good enough
20:58:53wodzhmm I just fired up test_scanrate.c on my mini 1G and I have scanrate 92.3Hz while in grey_core.c there is 87Hz defined for mini
21:00
21:00:05gevaertskugel: it doesn't matter. You use the one that's most appropriate for the device you're working on
21:00:21pixelmawodz: oh, you also have a Mini 1G? Seems to be rare
21:00:38wodzI do
21:00:42kugelgevaerts: I'm not working a device currently, but exploring possiblities :)
21:01:36pixelmafml: Spezialtaste sounds a bit like it would give you an extra button somehow and Tastenkürzel is the usual translation for this kind of thing (although I don't have a strong preference yet)
21:01:38kugelbut I think alsa is pretty appropriate, I think it is the one with the least overhead and perfectly fits our needs
21:01:48 Part watto
21:02:06gevaertsour needs are defined by the environment :)
21:02:22kugelbut that only applies for linux targets yes, on android I'm going to need jni calls
21:02:51 Part Boldfilter
21:02:52gevaertsI'd assume so
21:03:14domonokywodz: as a hint: if you want your new MPIO target be added to the automated buildsystem, you have to add it to www/buildserver/builds in svn :-)
21:03:53kugelI've shortly looked into it, and there's a pcm-buffer-callback-like jni call so that might not be a problem
21:04:48fmlpixelma: but the English original also doesn#t use the usual term "Shortcut". And that's OK since the "Shortcut" is const but the function assigned to it varies. Normally, when "Shortcut" is used, it's the other way around: you have a function and you assign one or another shortcut to it.
21:05:29kugelgevaerts: well, w.r.t. to audio we only really need pcm passthrough, not any other fancy audio feature that an os might provide
21:06:13wodzdomonoky: thanks for the tip
21:06:32pixelmawodz: about the scanrate thing - I know that it varies a bit at different temperatures and probably slight differences in the panels (I mean same type but build somewhere else or so). It could also be that the difference is in 1G vs. 2G Mini and the former hasn't been tested yet. Not sure how important this difference you measured is

21:35:27LloreanThat's why theres a single link to the installer, instead.
21:35:30LloreanRight at the top of the stable list
21:35:52LloreanIf you add a whole bunch more links, people are more likely to click the target one (which is less helpful) than the installer one

21:41:28FlynDicethx
21:41:44Lloreanwodz: The front page is mostly user oriented, so ideally the links should be the ones users need to find, rather than developers
21:41:52LloreanOr, more specifically, the ones we want users to find.
21:42:41topikbiggest thing that influenced my fuze's boot time was a big font, but never 1-5 minutes
21:42:56wodzLlorean: I am not going to redesign frontpage don't be afraid :-)
21:42:58linuxstbwodz: I think it would be confusing if the stable targets linked to the downloads, and the unstable targets linked to the port pages. I agree the unusable targets should be links, and the "installer" link much more prominent.
21:43:28*Llorean can agree that the installer link should be more prominent.
21:44:13Lloreanlinuxstb: I think that the "status summary" link is really where people interested in the unusable targets should be directed first, though.
21:44:18CIA-5New commit by wodz (r25759): Add MPIO HD200 to the frontpage
21:44:24LloreanIt's a lot more user oriented of a page.
21:44:41linuxstbLlorean: The same for "unstable" as well?
21:45:26LloreanFor unstable, we've already told the user "this should at least work and you should be at least able to listen to audio" from the summary, so the individual links should probably actually be to either a warning anchor (for what's broken) or an install anchor on the individual target page
21:45:28linuxstbLlorean: Or the port pages should have a user-friendly status summary at the top.
21:45:35LloreanSince in those cases, people clicking the links *should* be people wishing to install
21:45:46domonokywodz: about the syntacs of the builds file. its; buildtype:configure targetname: Userreadable targetname:outoutfile:configure options needed:<special number saying how complicated the target is to build>
21:45:47LloreanUser friendly summary on the status pages would be great.
21:45:55LloreanBut I don't know how likely it is to happen. :)
21:46:11linuxstbLlorean: I'm not sure I agree with that - we're calling them "unstable", so people may want to know what that means before installing.
21:46:26linuxstb^what that means specifically for that player
21:46:30LloreanI just think, from one perspective the current links make a lot of sense: Stable - installer. Unstable - install instructions as user friendly as we have. Unusable - Our most user friendly description if *why* they're unusable.
21:46:33wodzcan I ask for update of frontpage?
21:46:53linuxstbwodz: You need to ping Bagder or Zagor (I guess I just have...)
21:47:01LloreanBut I do agree that it'd be nice if we could mix "explaining why they're unstable" and "easy to find install instructions"
21:47:21domonokywodz: you need to poke Bagder or Zagor for the index.t update. all other changes are updated automatically.
21:48:05linuxstbLlorean: I just think it's more "intuitive" if the name of a player in a list of targets links to a description of that player, rather than a download. Otherwise, the list should have the heading "Downloads".

22:37:12amiconnwodz: If your blob is not moving, but isn't pure black on pure white, you didn't hit the proper scanrate, but a (simple) ratio of it, e.g. 2/3
22:37:54wodzamiconn: I fired up test_scanrate on my mini 1G so now I know how it should look
22:38:11amiconnThis often happens for new targets because the scanrate varies a lot between different targets
22:38:36wodzbut is it possible that scanrate is obove 150Hz?
22:38:47wodzs/obove/above
22:39:17amiconnIt might be. Most controllers use something between 70 and 80 Hz. M3 has 150 Hz
22:40:12wodzis there some simple test to see if blit_mono is working correctly?
22:40:49amiconnIf I'm setting twice the real scanrate on my mini (176Hz instead of 88Hz), I'm seeing two (smaller) blobs
22:41:34wodzis scanrate specific to controller or to the lcd panel?
22:42:11amiconnIt's specific to the controller, its programming, and the clock source for the controller
22:42:51amiconnAt 2/3 (58.7Hz) I'm also seeing two blobs, but dark grey on light grey, not black on white
22:43:26wodzhave You looked at pastebins of lcd_grey_data? Do this look ok for You?
22:43:33amiconn1/3 gives one dark grey on light grey blob
22:43:50amiconn(and a bit of flickering since that's only 29.2Hz)
22:44:42amiconnI've seen those for mono blitting, but not for grey
22:45:39ranmaFlynDice: I have a crazy idea for possibly making your Clip+ 'usable'
22:45:55amiconnHmm, the blob changing colour but not position sounds weird
22:46:02*amiconn would like to see that

22:46:38ranmaAttach an attiny to the JTAG port, which on poweron halts the CPU, pokes instructions into memory and resumes a new microbootloader and goes to sleep.
22:47:27*amiconn looks
22:47:29ranmaThe new bootloader would then read a few sectors from microsd to load the rockbox loader.
22:47:45wodzamiconn: Now I can say I saw no blob but stripe
22:48:09ranmaThen I'd just have to patch rockbox so that it always uses the external SD in place of the internal one :)
22:48:20amiconnHmm. Did you try 292Hz?
22:48:50wodzamiconn: no, I didn't go above 200Hz
22:49:07*amiconn wonders whether it's really that high, but I think that may even be the case for the TL0350
22:49:20FlynDiceranma: I was just going to suggest using the external but current svn is rather sketchy as far as the uSD goes
22:50:29 Quit fyrestorm (Quit: Ur skills' fireproof like a wooden panel -- U got feds talking leet on your IRC channel!)
22:50:53FlynDiceThe earlier builds worked pretty well but for awhile now the clip+ uSD function has been pretty iffy. I've actually been investigating that today.
22:51:43amiconnwodz: Your lcd_grey_data has several problems.
22:52:34amiconn(1) There must be 8 pixels per block, not 4
22:53:09wodzI am not surprised :-) I don quite understand what this should do
22:54:43amiconn(2) %a2 is a length (rather: a width, in pixels), not an end address. If you want to use it as such, you have to do two things to convert it: (a) multiply by the number of pixels in a block, because one pixel == one phase byte (b) add the start address
22:55:35wodz2) is easy
22:55:50wodzI don't understand (1)
22:56:13amiconnWell, you have a TL0350. The TL0350 uses 2 bit vertical interleaved pixels
22:56:21 Join M3DLG [0] (~M3DLG@bb-87-81-252-83.ukonline.co.uk)
22:56:58wodzI know
22:57:15amiconnThis means there are 8 pixels per word. The greylib uses two buffers of one byte per pixel, one buffer for the pixel values (only possible values are 0..128) and one for the phases
22:57:20wodzI need one word of data for single vertical strip of pixels

22:58:24amiconnHowever, these buffers are *not* laid out like an ordniary byte packed image, but they are in the controller's pixel order, in order to speed up lcd_grey_data()
22:59:34amiconnHence, you need to calculate 8 pixel values for every word written to the lcd controller. YOu only calculate 4.
23:00
23:00:14amiconnOh, and you also forgot the final duplication, before writing to the controller
23:00:50wodzamiconn: but move.w to the lcd is actually single byte
23:01:08wodzlcd is wired to the lower byte only
23:01:12amiconnOk, then you need to transfer the same byte twice
23:01:23amiconnLike in lcd_mono_data()
23:01:39amiconnBut you also need to calculate a whole byte, not a half byte
23:01:55 Quit pamaury (Quit: Page closed)
23:03:09amiconnThe greylib always works with mono pixels, even if the controller does 2bpp natively, for two reasons
23:03:50amiconn(1) The interaction between native shades and temporal dithering would be hard calculate
23:04:21kugelgevaerts: I get a kernel panic :(
23:04:32gevaertsGive it back!
23:05:01kugelah, older kernel works it seems
23:05:43kugelactually I had that kernel panic too with qemu from the mini2440-qemu repo
23:06:15amiconn(2) Even though calculation would still be manageable (I even did it for a quick test, back in the days of the old graylib), doing this creates nasty interference, due to the way native shades work: the controller does basically the same as we do in software, but we can never match the frequency 100%
23:06:19kugelhm, no, it's not doing anything now instead of giving the panic
23:07:30gevaertskugel: the setup from http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/arm/ works for me. Lenny and 2.6.26
23:07:40kugelah, there we go

23:17:51wodzI'll test tomorrow
23:23:36wodzhmm. Maybe problem with scanrate comes from lcd_mono_data doing back-to-back writes to the controller?
