00:00:06pamauryclip zip: dfkt.tk/Comparisons/Sansa%20Clip%20Zip%20-%20Impedances.htm">https://rmaa.dfkt.tk/Comparisons/Sansa%20Clip%20Zip%20-%20Impedances.htm
00:01:33pamauryI don't remember what I did with the fuze+ one, wait a minute
00:04:10pamauryhttp://amaury.pouly.free.fr/Images/Comparison.htm
00:05:34Lenfirst link is not working for me.. hmm
00:05:34pamauryMy conclusion is the Clip Zip is probably better
00:05:51 Join Strife89 [0] (~Strife89@2602:306:bce1:8c20:f1bd:bc21:34da:cee)
00:06:09Lenwell in my opinion it sounds better than creative
00:06:17pamauryhum, it works for me
00:07:11pamauryanyway, what is says is that the clip zip has a flatter response curve, better noise level, comparable dynamic range
00:08:19pamauryalso the Fuze+ (and maybe the ZEN MX) suffers from a weird problem no captured by any test but definitly real: some kind of background noise that is extremely small but clearly hearable, probably because of the frequency and/or shape
00:08:52*pamaury should rmaa the Fiio X1 to compare !
00:09:18Lenmhm, thank you for informations. I'll stay with clip then, at least for now
00:09:42LenI need change it soon or later to something else, I would like to have rockbox on it
00:10:03LenAlso not so big price, maybe a little more than sansa clip zip about 2 years ago :p
00:10:25pamaurywell, there are not that many news devices with rockbox: we can't rockbox the new clip sport, the new Sont devices are really expensive for what they are
00:10:47pamaurythe Fiio X1 has good sound but poor battery life and is already 100EUR
00:11:29pamauryFiio announced the M3, apparently for $55 but it uses almost the same soc as the clip sport, so rockbox is a no-no at the moment :(
00:12:01Lenyeah I heard about 512KB memory ;p
00:12:37pamauryyeah
00:12:42Lenhmm, battery from apple music player fits sansa clip zip so I heard..
00:12:51Lenit's still avaiable to buy
00:13:16Lenmaybe I should get it then, mine sansa works fine but this battery... ugh..
00:14:21Lenalso I don't need too much, my headphones are hmm.. just fine imo (creative aurvana live), also my hearing is not so good as it was ^^

03:09:58*[Saint] grumbles
03:10:14[Saint]something something, makefiles, something, build system, something, grumble.
03:11:31[Saint]I want the build system to respect the OUT_DIR_COMMON_BASE environment variable if present
03:18:46[Saint]Hmmmmm. The android build tools version detection is completely broken.
03:18:57[Saint]We sure as shit didn't future-proof that one.
03:20:17prof_wolfffSaint: AB_REPEAT_ENABLE, ACTION_WPS_BROWSE, HAVE_AGC, HAVE_HISTOGRAM, have you tested it? can i commit them?
03:23:37[Saint]AB_REPEAT_ENABLE, ACTION_WPS_BROWSE were fine, HAVE_AGC compiles but I couldn't test it due to having no means of recording from mic/linein at the time. HAVE_HISTOGRAM appears to be entirely dead code, I need to look into that some more.
03:24:00[Saint]prof_wolfff: ^
03:24:48[Saint]I was more interested in getting FM working at the time, but I didn't get particularly far. There's a fair amount of work to do there but I see you've laid the groundwork.
03:25:01prof_wolfffTheSeven: g#898, i have tested a similar patch to this for more than 1/2 years and it works ok, how it works on nano2g?, i have similar patches to this, do you think it could be commited?

03:25:27[Saint]I also need to remember to push a patch when I get home.
03:25:48[Saint]I have figured out a _much_ nicer sounding piezoelectric 'beep' tone.
03:26:09[Saint]The click/beep we have presently sounds terrible.

03:29:38prof_wolfffSaint: g#379 is a patch for cpu_freq that gets ~14fps, do you think it is ok? i have tested it a bit, for me it is ok, but need users feedback to commit it, if it is not ok we need to try other approach to get a custom "browse menu" frequency, i think that 36MHz saves ~5% cpu and we need to try to use that freq while playing

03:30:51[Saint]I have, yes.
03:31:04[Saint]The marginal savings are definitely not worth completely fucking up the user experience.
03:31:18[Saint]it makes it feel awful to use.
03:32:01[Saint]like, absolutely terrible. I can't offhand understand why it is so bad.
03:32:40[Saint]there doesn't seem to be any good reason as to why we shouldn't be able to puch enough frames at 36MHz.
03:32:58[Saint]Hell...look at the PortalPlayer iPods.

03:35:50prof_wolfffhave you try g#379? (14 fps), it is so bad?
03:35:57[Saint]That's one thing I didn't understand with that patch, it seems to completely break the touchboosting.
03:36:01fs-bluebotGerrit review #379 at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/379 : iPod Classic: experimental CPU freq/volt scaling by Cástor Muñoz
03:36:09[Saint]EVen if I apply HAVE_GUI_BOOST, it seems to ignore it.
03:36:30prof_wolfff?\?
03:36:37[Saint]If we are clocking that low, we _absolutely_ need to boost on touch interaction.
03:37:13[Saint]I tried applying that define to see if it would help with the terrible update rate on the LCD, but, it seems to be ignored entirely.
03:38:10[Saint]perhaps I should try it again now that I'm not having to rebase all your changes into my tree.
03:39:10[Saint]but if we can't get the LCD refresh rate up to an acceptable level I would much rather have the runtime be ~30mins less than have a terrible user interface experience.
03:39:57 Join Strife89 [0] (~Strife89@adsl-98-80-212-18.mcn.bellsouth.net)
03:42:36prof_wolfffok, try it, for me it is not so bat (36MHz/14 fps), it is more fps than old internet videos, if needed i can try to use a target 54MHz intermediate frequency, in addition i am preparing some "controversial" memory powersave patches that lower refresh time to some unbeliable rates
03:43:41prof_wolfffSaint: @36 MHz, maximum refresh rate is ~14 fps
03:45:00[Saint]the other thing I found curious is that I'm pretty sure we're supposed to boost in the WPS if there are peak meters in the theme.
03:45:12[Saint]but the refresh rate is messed up there too.
03:45:28[Saint]makes peak meters almost completely unusable.
03:45:28prof_wolfffyes, looking at RB code i feel the same than you
03:46:50prof_wolfffproblem for me is that i don't know RB features very much, so sometimes i got surprised!
03:48:08[Saint]Well, HAVE_GUI_BOOST was added for the PP based iPods, to make scrolling through the lists a not-so-terrible-experience on low clocks.
03:48:41[Saint]The iPod Classic doesn't have HAVE_GUI_BOOST applied by default because the low clock is plenty high enough to push enough frames to the LCD to make this smooth.
03:48:57[Saint]But with your scaling patch, the clock is far too low for heavy UI work and it looks terrible.
03:49:16[Saint]So I enabled HAVE_GUI_BOOST on the ipod6g, but, to my surprise, it appeared to have absolutely no effect.
03:49:40[Saint]the user interface was still almost completely unusable.
03:49:42[Saint]it's...odd.
03:51:49[Saint]Does anyone happen to have a 64 bit Android 19.*.* build-tools?
03:51:58[Saint]Strife89, perhaps?
03:52:42[Saint]I can't be arsed monkeying around with the build client and build system to sidestep this shenanigans.
03:52:47Strife89Sorry, [Saint], I'm afraid not. :(
03:52:53[Saint]my Android SDK iis far too new
03:53:10Strife89I don't even have any 64-bit kernels set up, so I don't keep 64-bit software.
03:53:21[Saint]and there's some silly (smart at the time, silly now) version dependency checking code for build tools.
03:53:24prof_wolfffi think that ATM GUI boost is activated, boosting GUI is not so bad, decrease playback frequency from actual 54MHz->36MHZ gives ~3-4 hours of additional playback, i will try to boost to 54 (or even 216MHZ) at target level code when LCD is awake an fall to 36 MHz when sleep, it seem that mp3 @320 can be decoded at 36 MHz
03:54:12[Saint]oh, hmmm, sorry - you're right, it is active by default, but it's deactivated in my tree.
03:54:16[Saint]whoops.
03:54:20Strife89[Saint]: If 32-bit is okay, I *might* have something from around that SDK version *somewhere* on one of my HDDs.
03:54:38[Saint]Strife89: nah, it's cool. I'll just monkey the build system behind its back.
03:54:49Strife89Okay.
03:55:02[Saint]I'll just symlink buiild-tools 23.*.* to 19.*
03:56:13[Saint]prof_wolfff: the Classic can do mp3 320 realtime decode in like 6~8MHz IIRC>
03:56:55[Saint]it's a bit of a beast.
03:57:09prof_wolfffi am going to to compile bootloader using windows, what compiler is using RB to generate the rbutil for windows?
03:57:36prof_wolfffhave you tried bootloader
03:57:40prof_wolfff?

12:23:50wodzaaaah, I am dumb
12:25:21wodzhmm
12:26:46pamauryI'm curious, I'm pretty sure the last time I updated hwstub on gerrit it was working
12:27:52pamauryI need to go, if you find a problem, describe how to reproduce it so I can have a look
12:30:31wodzpamaury: Its a bit chicken and egg problem. In your version hwstub_open_tcp() called hwstub_open_internal() which in turn calls hwstub_get_desc() to get info about target and setup various fields of hwstub_device_t.
12:32:57wodzpamaury: Now this is not valid anymore since hwstub_open_tcp() is supposed to connect to server only and hwserver_dev_open() is the point where link with physical device is established and hwstub_get_desc() can be called.
12:40:59pamauryI see, that's because there is no proper notion of context in your rework
12:41:22pamauryI've began some work for context handling, maybe let me have a try at it and hopefully it will fix everything

13:08:01wodzdon't think so

13:09:27pamauryI can't see how it could crash the device though
13:09:32wodzbut how?

13:24:01wodzpamaury: I think I see where is problem and I think it is mips specific
13:24:14pamaurycan you explain ?
13:28:11wodzIt is a bit complicated. Basically there are 2 registers k0 and k1 which are reserved for very lowlevel stuff. Normal code produced by compiler doesn't touch this two. I used them in implementing irq context specific stack (it saves store/restore in irq). BUT I also used them in recovery code. So I guess recovery code sets SP to something insane as a sidefect
13:28:48wodzI mean on first irq after recovery

14:56:31wodzah, not in this sense. I mean if you want to call code from iram running from dram or in reverse.
14:56:54wodzwith default mem layout this two addresses are too far for regular calls

15:03:35pamaurybecause noawdays more and more cross compilers end up in repositories but they don't match the names of our configure script, although they probably work as well (if not better)
15:03:48pamauryarm-none-eabi is the typical example
15:04:18pamauryalso mipsel-linux-gnu
15:04:33wodzI am hesitant to do that. Currently we at least have KNOWN compiler.
15:05:03pamauryyou would have to add a flag like −−I-know-it-may-be-brokne
15:05:08wodzthe user can override compiler easily bit it must be explicit
15:05:30pamauryit would always be explicit anyway, I don't expect the configure script to pick up any toolchain
15:05:59pamauryand it would print a warning message saying this toolchain has not been tested
15:06:21pamauryI mean for example I just can't build the mips toolchain of rockboxdev.sh
15:06:46wodzyeah, its waaaaay outdated
15:07:46pamauryand this way would make it *way* easier to test new toolchains too
15:08:13wodzI don't mind explicit switch
15:09:10pamaurygreat :) I'll try to give a go at it, I don't know how much hacking it needs
15:09:48wodzbtw. You were talking about virtual mem support for ZEN MX. How you see it implemented (putting aside if ever)
15:12:01pamaurywell, the simplest way would be to put the firmware on the flash storage at known location (ie not on the filesystem) so that the Nth page of the binary is at block OFFSET+N on the storage. Then you select threshold of how many code pages can live in the system memory and you put the constraint that all the data section must fit in RAM (ie these are not paged)
15:12:39pamauryessentially you page code and since you hardly need to have all of the code in RAM in a given context, you can greatly reduce RAM usage (I think)
15:13:27pamauryNow this is tricky because it means that pieces of the code can be paged out (apps/ mostly) but some not (firmware/ or at least all the parts necessary to read the storage)
15:14:36wodzread the storage and manage paging :-)
15:14:45pamauryyeah :)
15:15:04wodzis the flash memmaped or you need to fetch to ram first?
15:15:25pamauryI guess you could make it work with the firmware on the filesystem but 1) this is way more complicated 2) it needs all of the FS code unpaged too
15:15:25pamauryyou need to fetch to ram, so this is kind of slow
15:16:05pamauryalso all the interrupt code better be unpaged too
15:16:45wodzRight, but this makes things a bit easier too. You need to put vm manager and storage driver in unpaged section
15:18:34pamauryto be honest, I have no idea how much ram you can win this way
15:18:50pamaurybut this is not enough for atj found in the clip sport for example
15:19:51wodzI treat it as purely academic discussion. Maybe 2MB targets could benefit but thats all
15:20:44pamauryI have no idea the OF works on those chips with <200kB of RAM
15:21:29wodzpamaury: libc is in ROM, decoding is in hardware
15:21:45pamauryah yeah, so basically the firmware does nothing
15:22:10wodzpamaury: The memory is used mostly for (tiny) buffers I guess

21:18:18pamaurynow it works, strange
21:18:26pamauryyeah it's pretty much what I expected
21:19:14pamauryalso there is this counter-intuitive thing that for best memory usage with on-demand paging, you probably want to allocate everything dynamically
21:20:33wodzyou mean to decreas .data section size?
21:20:36pamauryyes
21:20:52pamauryto not use memory for parts of the program that are inactive
21:21:14wodztrue, but this is HUGE departure from current code
21:22:27pamauryI know, that's why I was saying that doing on-demand paging is a huge change from the current code
21:22:34pamauryit's really like a new rockbox, litteraly
21:23:25pamauryalso I'm not sure which threading model is best
21:23:59pamaurybut I suspect cooperative threading is not the best either ^^
21:25:47wodzyeah, preemptive sounds like good fit for paging
21:29:44pamauryso let's restart rockbox from start, yeah \o/
21:30:23pamauryhow hard could it be anyway ? ;)

21:36:23wodzpamaury: A quick test - I built ipod video in thumb and .text is 0x694f0 bytes .data is 0x2d30 and .rodata is 0x234f8
21:36:44wodzpamaury: .icode and .irodata are insignificant
21:37:35wodzpamaury: of course there is also stack and .bss
21:37:59pamauryone of the problem here is the .data is missing several big bits: some buffers, allocated on start, audio buffer, plugin buffer
21:38:09pamauryscreen buffer
21:38:44wodz.bss is 0x77b90 bytes
21:38:54wodzincluding COMMON
21:39:28pamaurythat's huge
21:39:43wodzisn't screen buffer static allocated? I am pretty sure it is
21:39:56pamauryyeah you are right, I didn't think about bss
21:40:18wodzlcd_static_framebuffer is in COMMON
21:40:29pamaurybut essentially bss is data, so that's around ~500kB of data
21:43:28wodzso there is ~560kB of something which can be paged (.text + .rodata)
21:45:21wodzdoesn't look like worth effort
21:46:19pamauryno indeed, with the current code, paging wouldn't give us much because with a big data section and a not that big code one
21:46:46pamaurybut that becomes an entirely different story if you can reduce the data section size
21:46:46wodzamen
21:47:25wodzok, but this means writing os from scratch or at least HUGE rewrite
21:47:34pamauryyes :(
21:48:29pamauryI mean, the hardware part can probably be scavanged, I figure the codec one too (somehow). But everything else...
21:48:49wodzconsidering available man hours this is no go
21:49:33pamauryon the other hand, that puts an entirely different perspective on the approach, like you may not want to write it in C
21:52:28pamauryand the rewrite would probably work much better on non-native platforms (android I'm looking at you) but yeah as for the manpower :-/

22:01:23 Quit greatwolf (Remote host closed the connection)
22:15:14wodzConsidering embedded platforms the only alternative is very limited subset of C++. It is not that much win.
22:16:09pamauryon the contrary, you can now afford to have a lot of code (that's basically with paging) so you can use all the interesting C++ stuff like containers
22:16:26wodzand C++ makes only sense when you have MMU really
22:16:32pamauryhiding all dynamic memory allocation, making memory management way simpler too
22:16:40pamauryon-demand paging requires mmu anyway
22:16:44wodztrue
22:18:02 Join rela [0] (~x@pdpc/supporter/active/rela)
22:19:56pamauryhowever, one could think about using a RTOS as the foundation, not everything would need to be rewritten from scratch
22:21:58wodzPersonally I don't like c++ on embedded exactly for this. It hides lots of things and relatively innocent looking code has huge impact on performance and memory usage.
22:23:15pamaurywell you have to be careful, but with c you tend to write a lot of boilerplate, error prone, suboptimal-allocation-wise code
22:23:46pamauryanyway, that's not the main issue there
22:25:11wodzOne could start with nuttx and add drivers and codecs. The problem is withis 'one' exactly :-)
22:26:11pamauryone can do a lot of thing :)
22:29:27pamaurythat would be interesting to try though, I mean hack nuttx, try to make it running on a device, just display a few things on the screen, to see how it goes
