11:29:07copperTheSeven: like I said, I just need to re-open the thing and test the original battery
11:29:48copperwhich I probably should have done with the "new" battery before closing the iPod
11:29:58copper*facepalm*
11:30:27copperI didn't think it was necessary, because it charged fine and the iPod worked fine
11:31:34TheSevenone thing that the graph showed was that the battery wasn't fully charged when you started the test. it was only around 90% or so.
11:32:15copperthe old bench read 95%
11:32:23copperthe new one reads 94%
11:32:27copperhttps://outpost.fr/tmp/2k6.txt
11:32:33copperhttps://outpost.fr/tmp/KHs.txt
11:33:04TheSeventhe graphs start at 4250mV and 4100mV
11:33:13copperright
11:33:28copperthat doesn't explain the awful battery life though, does it?
11:33:42TheSevenit only explains maybe 10-15% of it
11:35:19copperto be clear, Rockbox indicated that the iPod was fully charged
11:35:25TheSevenjudging from the graphs I second gevaerts_'s suspicion that this might in fact be a difference in power *consumption*, not battery capacity
11:35:27copperwell, maybe 99%
11:35:39copperthat would be insane
11:35:47TheSeveni.e. something wrong with the build that you were running?
11:36:03copperuh
11:36:18copperI doubt it
11:36:33copperit's pre-JdGordon's changes
11:36:46copperI'm pretty sure it used to run fine on the HDD
11:37:09copperwe'll see when I'm able to test the original battery
11:37:09TheSeventhis was regular music playback with only occasional HDD spinup? which codec/bitrate?
11:37:20copperlossyflac
11:37:28copperi.e. ~440 kbps FLAC
11:37:43TheSevenhm, I guess the modifications in that build were minor?
11:37:45JdGordonwhat are you blaming on me this time?
11:37:57copperJdGordon: nothing, that's the point :)
11:38:17TheSevencopper: i.e. I can expect to see the same results with 440ff95?
11:38:27copperwhat same results
11:38:28TheSevenI might do a quick idle current test on that one...
11:39:02copperTheSeven: I would expect you to get much better battery life with the same build and a good battery and the original HDD
11:39:35TheSeven...and I'm trying to prove that wrong and blame it on some software problem :)
11:39:41copperhehe
11:39:44coppergo nuts
11:41:03copperthe "new" battery arrived fully discharged, don't you think that's a little bit suspicious?
11:41:22TheSevenhow deep discharged is that?
11:42:28copperwhat?
11:42:40TheSeveni.e. what voltage was it at when it arrived?
11:42:46copperhow would I know
11:43:08TheSevenyou probably don't, if you didn't measure it ;)
11:43:09copperI can't remember if the iPod wouldn't turn on at all, or if it briefly showed the emcore screen before turning off
11:44:17TheSevenso, assuming reasonable inner resistance, <3.5V... that's indeed a bit low
11:44:23copperI'll just remind the room for the record, that I'm merely a user :P
11:44:49TheSevencould also be that it just wasn't activated though and needs a brief charging pulse for it to come online?
11:45:06copperenglish please
11:45:10copper:P
11:45:44TheSevenit's generally a good practice to "disable" a battery (through its internal protection circuitry) after production
11:46:03TheSevenboth to reduce self discharge by the protection circuitry, and to avoid short circuit accidents etc.
11:46:15copperis the battery ribbon isolated?
11:46:52TheSevenall but the part that goes into the connector should be
11:47:32copperstupid question
11:48:33TheSevenanyway, that kind of disabling would mean that the battery would appear dead to the ipod until you charge it a little bit, then it would connect again
11:58:43 Quit Misanthropos (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
11:59:34TheSevencopper: I guess all files that you did the battery bench with were encoded similarly?
11:59:47TheSevencan you give me one of those files so that I can test how the codec behaves?

12:49:10TheSeventhat's just 1mA above idle
12:49:26TheSevenhow many mAh does your battery claim to have?

12:59:51copperyou mean no recent regression

13:01:30*TheSeven tries 440ff95

13:02:08copperwhat build did you try first?
13:04:44 Quit Keanu73 (Quit: Got to go to bed or got to go to school or need to do something. Bye!)
13:05:21TheSeven440ff95 has similar currents as well
13:05:36TheSevenslightly higher, more like 13.48-13.50mA
13:06:12TheSevencopper: I'm basically comparing all builds that you did benches with against master to see if there are any differences at all
13:06:21TheSevenso far I haven't found anything suspicious
13:09:56TheSeventhere are differences of ~500µA while the LCD is on, however they drop to 50-200µA with the LCD off... likely some UI CPU impact?
13:10:18TheSeven3e1c492 shows ~200µA lower power consumption during playback compared to 440ff95
13:11:24TheSevenso we basically have a "regression" between those that causes 1-2% less battery runtime
13:11:49TheSevennothing really explain
13:12:00TheSevennothing really explains the vast difference in the benches though*
13:12:16TheSevenso yes, looks like your battery isn't good

13:31:47RockBoxNewBHelloooo, my dear friends in RB. I have a quite technical question about the RB database, and I hope someone of you might know the answer
13:33:07RockBoxNewBIt's about the import/export modifications function basically. I'm one of the few people who use the RATINGS in Rockbox, meaning that I give a 0-10 rating to each of my songs on the device. Lately, I have been using TWO rockboxed DAPs, namely an iPod Classic and an iRiver H340.
13:35:02RockBoxNewBThus, I need to migrate my ratings from one device to another. This works very fine using import/export mods. My question is now: does this function completely REPLACE the database on the target device, or does it ADD the ratings that were not present before ("synchronize" them, if you will)?
13:37:45pamauryRockBoxNewB: to be honest I have no idea
13:38:39RockBoxNewBArgh, I was afraid my question was too technical/special
13:39:08RockBoxNewBWe probably need one of the guys who CREATED this function to answer it
13:39:24TheSeven...or just have a look into the code
13:39:47pamauryWell, not that many people actually use the database, let alone the ratings, and the code is kind of a nightmare but let me give a quick look
13:40:49RockBoxNewBIt would be simply awesome if I could use the devices simultaneously - meaning one at work and one at home - and then simply "merge" the databases into one that contains all the ratings I have given in the meantime
13:43:46pamauryRockBoxNewB: looking briefly at the code, import will only *replace* the tags following tags: play count, rating, play time, last played, commit id, last elapsed, last offset
13:46:45RockBoxNewBSo to put this into a practical example: if I give 13 ratings on the H340, and 20 on the iPod at work, importing the file from the H340 to the iPod would "delete" the 20 ratings and bring the iPod to the same level as the H340, so that it also just has the 13 ratings?
13:47:35pamauryI think so
13:47:41pamaurybest is probably to try though
13:49:05RockBoxNewBOh, that's a pity. But of course, I understand that it's not worth chaging/adding this function if only so few people use the database/ratings
13:51:41pamauryactually some people would prefer to overwrite and some to merge, that would probably be two different functions
13:52:00pamauryI guess it's not that hard to implement but someone needs to do it
13:54:45RockBoxNewBI thought so, yes...but looking at the many things on the developers' to-do-list, I guess it would be difficult to find someone
13:54:54RockBoxNewBI wish I knew more about programming myself
13:58:40 Quit Rower (Quit: Hmmm...)
14:00
14:00:10RockBoxNewBI've got another question, which is probably more simple (I hope). Is it possible for me to somehow deactivate the PictureFlow function? As I use "Set song rating" quite often, I sometimes accidentally click "PictureFlow" in the context menu...causing my DAP to load it for more than half an hour and becoming unusable in that time. I don't use PictureFlow at all, so it would be great if I could remove that option somehow...
14:02:04RockBoxNewBI guess "removing" something should be easier than modifying it, so there could be a way I hope
14:05:34 Join Keanu73 [0] (~Keanu73@unaffiliated/keanu73)
14:13:37TheSevenRockBoxNewB: well you could make it less of a problem by just deleting the pictureflow plugin altogether
14:13:47TheSevenit would probably complain about a missing file if you hit that option then

14:22:00TheSeventhere could probably even more usability friendly solutions involving shortcuts, but I don't really remember how all of that worked
14:31:59RockBoxNewBALright, I understand. How can I remove that plugin?

14:44:32copperconsistent with the previous benchmark with the new battery
14:47:39copperok, no point running the benchmark to the end
14:47:54RockBoxNewBcopper, so you replaced the battery of your device and it still doesn't last long?
14:48:12copperit's not that
14:48:21copperI replaced the HDD with an SD card adapter
14:48:29copperand it seems to be drawing stupid amounts of power
14:48:44copperwell, depleting the battery super fast
14:48:56copperok
14:48:57coppergame over
14:49:43RockBoxNewBRight, I understand. Might I ask what device you're using? I've been toying with the idea of using an SD card/SSD adapter with my iRiver H340... but if it's killing the battery in such a short time, there's no sense in doing that of course

14:56:14copperiPod Classic (last model)
14:56:53TheSevenRockBoxNewB: just remove .rockbox/rocks/demos/pictureflow.rock
14:57:34TheSevencopper: the adapter can't possibly drain the battery while idle, because we're physically shutting off power to it
14:57:50TheSevenso something must be keeping the disk "spinning" from rockbox's point of view, if the adapter is indeed the culprit
14:58:08TheSeventypically I'd expect such an adapter + SD card to consume significantly less power than an HDD
14:58:59TheSevenflac is of course a codec that has a fairly high bitrate, so it reads from the disk fairly often, but the impact should still be fairly small
14:59:11RockBoxNewBThanks TheSeven, I'll try that right away! [By the way, how can I do what you always do, write a message and get my nickname highlighted in red?]
14:59:17TheSevenunless the throughput of that adapter is awful, causing it to take a very long time to fill the RAM buffer

16:51:11RockBoxNewBcopper, you're lucky there about the refund ;-) How much did that card cost, anyway?
16:51:20copperabout 100 euros
16:51:34coppernot lucky, Amazon customer service is stellar
16:52:01copperthey always refund / exchange / re-ship without asking questions
16:52:05copperand fast, too
16:52:22copperthey figure there's money to be made with returning customers
16:52:58TheSevencopper: I've made some very different experiences with them as well
16:53:15TheSevenbasically they behave fine as long as you buy directly from them
16:53:41copperwell yeah when you buy from a market place seller, you have to deal with the seller first
16:53:47TheSevenbut if e.g. a marketplace seller screws up a warranty case, they just don't care at all and don't even let you give that marketplace seller a bad rating
16:54:10TheSeven"bought longer than 90 days ago => we don't care AT ALL"
16:55:19TheSevenover here in germany if a customer returns a broken device within 6 months after buying it, the seller must repair or refund it, unless he can prove that the buyer misused it
16:55:48TheSevenI had such a case with a rooted SGS3 phone, with the infamous superbrick bug
16:56:36TheSeventhe samsung warranty repair center said that it's not covered by warranty (not because of the rooting, it was too broken to even figure that out, but because of a harmless little dent in the frame)
16:56:50copperwe'll see how they handle this
16:57:10TheSevenhowever amazon was legally obliged to cover the repair or refund
16:57:39RockBoxNewBTheSeven, haha, I'm also German so I should know exactly what you're talking about XD
16:58:01TheSeventhey did refund it after all, but it was a huge mess, had to call them a dozen times because they couldn't agree on whether the repair center has to send it back to me so I can send it back to amazon, or if the repair center can do that directly, and if so who has to tell them, etc
16:58:43TheSevenin this case they didn't even refuse to refund it, they were just terribly clueless on *how* to do it
16:59:22TheSevencopper: can you please, before you return it, do what I said above, as a final step of diagnostics?

23:01:11Neinot sync though
23:01:17soapthen my memory is faulty.
23:01:26Neibut I guess the firmware might need to implement it somehow too?
23:02:25TheSeventhe only way it could support that if there would be a stepdown to the USB Vbus pin internally, which I doubt
23:02:29TheSevenwhere does apple claim that?
23:06:41TheSevenanyway, there's little point in charging these things using firewire...
23:06:42pamauryTheSeven: somehow yes, it seems HID or EP0 traffic can kill MSC
23:07:02pamaurybut I never knew if it was because of bad programming of the fifo or something else
23:07:28TheSevenpamaury: which confirms my theory that this isn't so much flaky hardware (on the S5L series) after all, but rather a broken driver... just broken in what way?
23:07:59TheSeventhis thing behaves perfectly fine with emcore/umsboot nowadays, although I haven't stress tested EP clashes with that (might be worth a try?)
23:08:33Neimhm, I thought I found it on some official apple KB but now google only results in https://discussions.apple.com/message/15113928#15113928
23:08:41Neihttp://support.apple.com/kb/ht1384
23:09:27Neiand this page http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ipod/ipod-faq/ipods-charge-and-sync-firewire-usb2.html but thats not exactly apple official I guess
23:09:30pamauryTheSeven: can you identify the problem ? is this is bad fifo setup ?
23:10:04TheSeven"Note: iPod nano (4th generation and later) doesn't support FireWire and will not charge from any FireWire-based power source (including the iPod Hi-Fi)." this suggests that the nano 2g/3g still do
23:10:13TheSevenand the classic is basically the same generation as the nano 3g
23:10:26TheSeventhe nano 2g explicitly stated something about 24V on the back
23:10:43TheSeventhe classic indeed also says "5-30V 1A"
23:10:46Neithat's why I thought it might work but at least it doesnt in rockbox/emcore
23:11:01TheSevenso there might after all indeed be a stepdown converter somewhere, which generates the USB voltage internally
23:11:22NeiI still have an old firewire ipod so I thought I could reuse the power supply
23:11:39Neiwell, minor issue anyway
23:11:44Neijust curious
23:11:46TheSevenpamaury: I haven't found the root cause yet, steffengy1 is looking into it. the new driver seems to handle it better for a still unknown reason
23:12:01TheSevenNei: now you're making me curious as well though ;)

23:15:39TheSevenif someone gives me an ipod firewire cable, I can look into it ;)
23:18:42pamauryfixing those usb drivers would be awesome
23:18:49user890104The iPod Nano 4th Gen no longer charges from the 12 V supply on the Firewire pins. If you tie Pins 25 and 27 together and then connect a 10 kOhm resistor to ±5 volts to pins 23 and 15 (or 16), it will charge. If you don't tie Pins 25 and 27 together, it won't charge.
23:18:59user890104http://pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/ipod_pinout.shtml
23:19:09TheSevenpamaury: yes, it's a major blocker for the classic. if we can get that fixed, we can finally get rid of emcore altogether
23:20:07TheSevenuser890104: shorting 25+27 is USB charging spec simulation
23:20:19user890104ah...
23:20:24Neiif you were next door I could lend you mine
23:20:28TheSevenwhich supports the theory that this is after all just a stepdown to vbus
23:20:48TheSevenwhich also means that it should charge even without shorting those pins in emcore/rockbox
23:21:24TheSevenhm, the 10k pullup of vbus puzzles me

23:23:57user890104a divider?
23:24:30TheSevenif I interpret that correctly they just connect firewire plus to GND through 10k
23:24:34TheSevenwhich is probably just useless
23:25:12TheSevenNei: how long have you tried to charge it through firewire?
23:25:24TheSevenit might be possible that it charges and just doesn't report it
23:25:49NeiTheSeven: well that is true, I gave up on it after a few minutes of not reporting
23:25:59NeiI shall see if it silently charges
23:26:27TheSevenif it does, I'll walk you through some GPIO analysis to figure out how to detect that properly
23:27:32TheSevenif you go to system => debug => view I/O ports, does anything change if you plug it into firewire power?
23:28:29*TheSeven wonders if the diagmode disassembly could provide some more insight
23:30:11Neiin debug.battery, the voltage is dropping with firewire charge plugged in
23:30:41TheSevennot a good sign, but not necessarily a bad one either
23:30:52TheSevenwhat's the battery voltage right now?
23:31:09TheSevenit will only charge if it's below some threshold (somewhere between 4.0 and 4.1V I think)
23:31:42TheSevenpamaury: I have a patch that basically implants emcore's working usb driver into rockbox and adds quite a bit of required glue logic. however it doesn't work yet (hard freezes somewhere, likely in IRQ mode)
23:32:03TheSevenif you're interested in having a look at that, I could send you a patch

23:37:59TheSevenit's probably waiting for USB bus activity which it will never see in this case
23:40:24 Quit kugel (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
23:42:54Neiok I will watch it
23:43:15Neithe status screen says discharging but the voltage delta -0min reads 0,003
23:43:26Neiso that seems to indicate charging after all
23:43:35TheSeventhe delta is a bit small
23:45:03 Quit trampel (Quit: Leaving)
23:46:25Neimhm well it's weird the delta is consistently small
23:46:36Nei0,004, 0,002, 0,003
23:46:42Neibut stays positive
23:46:55TheSevensuggests that it is *using* firewire power, but not charging
23:49:23Neiah
23:49:29Neiinteresting theory
23:49:38Neifunny for it to do /that/
23:49:54Neiafter unplugging it did a -0,040 in an instant
23:50:07TheSevenseems plausible
23:51:03Neiok usb charger is like 0,013
23:51:13Neimhm. dang
23:51:26Neiuses firewire power but doesnt charge, lol
23:51:51TheSevenhm, our charger detection so far uses a bit in GPIO12
23:52:20 Join tertu [0] (~quassel@143.44.65.14)
23:55:14 Quit rela (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
23:55:18TheSeventhe LTC4066 chip is on some higher bits of GPIO11
23:55:55Neisorry I wont be a big help on the techical side
23:56:17TheSeven80 means disable charging
23:56:24TheSeven40 means fast charging
23:56:59TheSeventhose are commands
23:57:05TheSevenseems like 20 is feedback for "charging"
23:57:37NeiI see, you have to tell it to charge
23:57:56TheSevener, no, that's "external power present" inverted from what it looks like
23:58:09TheSevenand 10 is "charging" inverted - as least as far as USB is concerned
23:58:22TheSeven(we should actually implement those, rockbox currently doesn't use that information)
23:58:40Neiah
23:58:43TheSeventhis seems to indicate that the LTC actually tried to charge...
23:58:59Neiso what is 00 inverted
