09:29:55Hesmorning
09:29:58webmindej
09:32:16Linusis Alex Gitelman ever on IRC?
09:32:30webmindwhat's his nick ?
09:32:41Linusi don't know...
09:32:53Linusthat's my problem
09:32:57webmindhm k
09:33:06webmind /who #rockbox ?
09:33:08Linusi want to discuss his loadable font monster patch
09:33:15webmindhm k
09:35:28LinusHes, how's the battery stuff going?
09:36:47HesThe graph part works
09:37:02Hesi was thinking about submitting that as such for a starting point
09:37:17Hesthen looking into the charging logic
09:37:40HesThe patch at the moment adds the thread for keeping statistics and a debug menu item for looking at the real-time graph
09:38:32HesCould make the graph viewer enable/disable charging with a function key press too, and tell the user if charging is enabled or not
09:39:02LinusHes: you could export a function that exports the filtered battery status, for the battery icon
09:39:16Linustoday it flickers too much
09:39:22HesYes...
09:39:56HesBtw... i did the thread in firmware/powermgmt.[hc] since power.c and power.h already existed in drivers/
09:40:00Linusmaybe even replace the battery_level() function...
10:00
10:02:52adi|homeLINUS!
10:03:01*adi|home pokes you in the side with a wet noodle
10:03:16Linusouch!
10:04:05adi|homedo you happen to know of anything off hand this is not low level driver/battery issues that needs work?
10:04:16*adi|home may have a wee bit of time opening up.
10:04:37Linuswhat are you talking about?
10:04:59adi|homeissues/ideas that need attention/poking...
10:05:01Linusyou need something to do?
10:05:05*adi|home nods
10:05:09Linusyes i do
10:05:10adi|homebeen away for a bit...
10:05:15Linusdo you have recorder or player?
10:05:20adi|homerecorder
10:05:26adi|homebut no cross compiler :(
10:05:34Linusbuah!
10:05:55adi|homefor some reason.. couldn't get gcc to play nice on my last attempt...
10:06:09*adi|home will be flushing his box and starting clean in a week or two
10:06:14Linuswin32 or linux?
10:06:22adi|homelinux
10:06:28Linuswhat was the gcc problem?
10:06:33adi|homegill bates is evil
10:07:05adi|homedon't remember just off hand...
10:07:43adi|homedoes gcc have to be 3+ to play nice? or think i could re-work the 2.95 I have?
10:08:16Linusyou mean that you have problems with your native compiler?
10:10:25HesThe native 2.95 should be just fine to compile the cross-compiler using the instructions on the web site.
10:17:46adi|homethanks Hes
10:17:50adi|hometrying now
10:19:10adi|homehmmm.. the sims seem to be broken on the daily build.. anyone notice that?
10:20:31Linusi hate those sims
10:20:52Linusthey always fail...
10:21:03Linusand it is always my fault. :-)
10:21:57adi|homelol
10:22:08adi|homethats fun.. cause I loved those sims when we first started :)
10:23:41Linusyeah, those who use them and work on them probably love them
10:24:09Linusi am one of the lucky few who can debug on target
10:25:41Hadakahm, what do you lose when you make the mod for the debugging btw?
10:25:58Hadakawarranty, obviously - but line in, too?
10:27:57adi|homeheheh if i knew how to solder properly.. id fix my batteries first ;)
10:28:54LinusHadaka: you will in many cases have to cut the Line-In wires, because the termination interferes with the serial communication
10:29:27Hadakaookay
10:29:35Linusother than that, nothing
10:30:27Hadakawell as soon as my warranty goes, I think I'm taking that thing apart
10:30:35Linusi also had to remove the remote control connector pin to be able to listen to music while debugging
10:31:01Linusthe ear plug connector shorts the Rx pin
10:31:36Hadakahm
10:32:57HesWhere does the remote control go?
10:33:27Linusto the rx pin of serial port 1
10:33:34Hesi mean, to what connector?
10:33:43Linusthe ear plug
10:33:58Hesit's a 4-pin jack actually?
10:34:02Linusyes
10:34:16Hesthe line in isn't?
10:34:23Linusno
10:34:26webmindno ?
10:34:33Linusline in is 3-pin
10:34:34Heshm, you need two wires for the gdb serial line anyway
10:34:47webmindremote goes into earpohone?
10:35:03HesI wouldn't like to loose the line in, so i think i'll stick with writing bugfree code instead.
10:35:13webmindso line in isn't really used usefull ?
10:35:18Linusremote uses the extra pin in the ear connector for the serial communication
10:35:26webmindhm k
10:35:46webmindHes, where would u use line in for? or do u have a recorder ?
10:35:48Linusline in is not useful at all on the Player/Studio
10:35:56HesRecorder 20.
10:46:17PsycoXulLinus: sure it is
10:46:38PsycoXulit's a patchthrough to not block inputs on stuff you hook it up to
10:47:12PsycoXuland i'd still like to listen to stuff in the line in along with mp3's in certain situations (like for voice comms in online gaming)
10:47:46LinusPsycoXul: ok. finally i have found a use for it
10:48:37Hesposted a work-in-progress patch for the power graph
10:49:37HesMade the patch mainly to merge the changes to the current cvs state for my own use
10:49:38Linusi just read it
10:50:01Hesposted just for fun although it isn't of much use yet
10:50:10Linuswhy would we want to calculate the point where the hard disk starts malfunctioning?
10:50:29Hesto write protect it before it starts doing it
10:50:31***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
10:50:39Hesso that we won't get a garbled FAT
10:50:46Linusi know that
10:50:53Linusbut why *calculate* it?
10:50:59Linusread the data sheets
10:51:04Linus4.75V
10:51:08HesI thought it might vary in practice?
10:51:22Linusyes, but as soon as we go outside the specs we are in danger
10:51:51HesRight, on the write side, yes. Also, based on the actual value and the average voltage drop rate we can estimate how long the battery will last
10:52:02Linusi suggest we write protect at 4.75V
10:52:18Hesthat's probably the safest thing to do
10:52:27Linusthe estimated time left is a good thing
10:53:07Hesof course, on the players, we'll never get to save the actual value to the disk...
10:53:14Linusbut i think we can base it on 4.5V, the shutdown level

11:00:32adi|homethats on the gcc build
11:00:37adi|homethe binutil build goes fine
11:02:37Linusdid you do exactly as the wep page tells you to?
11:05:07CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
11:05:07*adi|home nods
11:05:24Fridolinhi linus !
11:05:26Linusok. what versions of gcc/binutils?
11:05:32LinusFridolin: hi
11:05:53adi|homegcc-2.95.3.tar.gz
11:05:58Fridolini was just browsing the mas 3507 documentation when i stumbled about a thing called PLLOffset.
11:06:01adi|homebinutils-2.11.tar.gz
11:06:13LinusFridolin: yes
11:06:24Fridolinthen i remembered bug 578015 - mp3 playback too slow.
11:07:01Linusyes, i have looked at that
11:07:07Fridolinit seems that the mas must be told at which frequency it runs to playback at the right speed.
11:08:22Fridolini didn't have the time to check if the softare already sets the right values for the PLLOffsets.
11:08:36Fridolinis it possible that this solves the problem ?
11:08:55Linusi have considered if some units have a different crystal than others
11:09:08Fridolinmaybe...
11:09:26Linusand the stock firmware recalculates the offsets
11:09:31Fridolini don't know if the playback is always too slow or only an certain models.
11:10:03Linusonly certain models
11:10:16Linusmost players work perfectly
11:10:19Fridolinthere was also an issue telling that the problem only occured at 100 % volume
11:10:26Fridolinhmmmm...
11:10:33Linusyeah, that is what puzzles me the most
11:11:33Fridolinso you already set an offset or does the default simply work well on the most players ?
11:11:34Linusadi|home: the web page says gcc-3.0.4
11:11:40adi|homei know...
11:11:47adi|homeive tried it with that before
11:12:00Linuswith the same result?
11:12:20LinusFridolin: the default works on most players
11:12:27Linusi have another theory
11:12:42*adi|home nods
11:12:45Fridolindid you ever check if the default values are the same on all models ?
11:12:46adi|homeim trying again right now
11:12:49Linusit may be that the CLKI signal isn't properly terminated
11:13:00Fridolinmaybe tehre are divverent versions of the mas in different players...
11:13:14Linusand when the volume goes up, the CLKI signal goes weak
11:13:26Fridolinhmmmm.
11:14:04Fridolinso we might have a hardware problem and not a software bug...
11:15:29Fridolini'm sorry, i don't have the time to stay... but i'll have a closer look at the current software till monday when i'll be back.
11:15:47Fridolinbye...

11:20:34ironi_heh why, adi|home
11:20:37adi|homenow i go to mount my archos.. and i get "mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device"
11:20:39adi|homeany ideas?
11:21:03adi|homeive had it before.. i just cna't remember how i fixed it
11:21:20yrohum, what tell you the end of dmesg
11:23:10PsycoXuleither sd_mod or usb-storage not loaded?

11:23:32adi|homei was using the archos the other day
11:24:12yroadi|home: did you use the same kernel ?
11:24:19adi|homeyup
11:24:29adi|homenothing on my machine has been changed since last usage
11:25:25yroIf u look at the logs, do you see eventually a new scsi dev, say sdb for instance ???
11:25:37yroinstead of sda.
11:25:48adi|homewell.. each time i restart the archos.. the dmesg updates
11:25:57adi|homeand the device found increments by 1
11:26:24yrook, I try...
11:26:51adi|homety anyways
11:27:19matp|workhi all
11:27:37yroHum, problem with my ac adaptor...
11:29:14Linusmatp|work: hi
11:29:21Linusyro: what problems?
11:30:21matp|workI've been looking at the various WPS modes today. I've not really looked at them before.
11:30:24yroresolved... The wires near the adaptor are in bad states... Very bad...
11:31:58matp|workI've got some issues :)
11:32:52yroadi|home: have you loaded scsi_mod module ???
11:33:00*adi|home nods
11:33:08adi|homelike i said.. nothing has changed since the last use..

11:33:47yroIf you have usb/scsi_mod in modules, you may try to reload all of them...
11:34:17yroHe is leaving quickly ;-)
11:34:20LinusBjörns deep sleep patch has killed the Rockbox USB supporet
11:35:00yroLinus, a few questions (I will try the new cvs in a few minutes):
11:35:25Linusshoot
11:35:27yroWhat's the Hold entry in the menu ???
11:35:57Linusg003y added a primitive key locking feature for the wps
11:36:12Linushe called it "hold" for some reason
11:36:17yroAnd, is there a patch to try the write on disk settings ?? (hum, if there is, where)
11:36:30Linusthere is no such patch
11:36:36yrook, for hold, but are u sure it's working ???
11:36:44Linusi haven't tried it
11:37:17Linusit seems to work for me
11:37:38yroMy mistake, I don't know how I tested it yesterday, it's working right now...
11:37:38Linusi just tried it
11:38:17Linusyro: are you willing to test the disk writes?
11:38:36yroI must drink more coffee...
11:38:56yroYes, but I need to learn more before writting the code...
11:39:02Linusyou will need to drink stronger things than that to dare to test the disk writes... :-)
11:39:17yroI'd love to have persistents settings....
11:39:34Linusseriously, there is no code except raw disk I/O
11:39:54Linusso if we stick to the Archos way of saving stuff, we can implement it right away
11:40:18yroAfter having tested a 2.5 at home, I think I can take a look, it cannot be such a nightmare ;-)
11:40:38Linusa 2.5?
11:40:45yroLinux kernel...
11:40:49Linusah
11:41:08yrobeware to the ide layer in 2.5 kernel...
11:41:28Linusit is completely rewritten, for what i know
11:42:09yroYep, and quite dangerous... I will wait the Halloween freeze before trying it again ;-)
11:42:20Linushehe
11:44:18yroI will read more rockbox code before trying something new...
11:44:29yroWell, I'm gonna drink my coffee now ;-)

11:49:34yroHum, what happened with the menus ??? It intercept key down _and_ key up (impossible to switch from "on" to "off", it goes to off when pressing the key, et back to on when releasing it...!!!

11:51:39matp|workid3: I think it's too cluttered (even on my recorder). I think we need to show Artist, Album, Track Title, Track# / Track Total, Time Elapsed.
11:52:13matp|workDo we need Filename, kbit and hz info. Maybe that should go on an extended info screen
11:52:24Linusyro: it seems that the boolean settings fails. hang on.
11:52:52matp|workAlso, they should all scroll if possible.
11:53:34matp|workFile mode: show Dirname, Filename, Time Elapsed. (Again, all scrolling).
11:53:47matp|workParse Mode: I'm not sure what this is ...?
11:54:41matp|workAlso, I've noticed that sometimes the time elapsed info disappears when I change modes.
11:54:57Linusyro: the set_bool() function was silly. i'll correct it.
11:55:42matp|workAnd finally, to change modes in the WPS menu, we use UP and DOWN. Is this consistent with the rest of the UI?
11:56:09yroLinus: ok. Thx
11:56:19 Nick yro is now known as yro|work (~yves@ns1.alcove-solutions.com)
11:57:37Linusmatp|work: i agree that the technical info is of little interest in the id3 screen
11:57:56Linusi have a suggestion:
11:58:58matp|workshoot
12:00
12:00:38Linususe one line to toggle the tech info: bitrate...pause...sampling rate...pause...
12:00:58Linusalso, i think the file name isn't necessary
12:01:43Linusi think we should switch to file name mode if no id3 info is found
12:01:52matp|workyeah, drop the filename, it's irrelevant in id3 mode
12:02:00matp|workagreed
12:02:10LinusParse mode tries to extract the artist/song name from the file name
12:02:41Linusfirst of all, we should implement a multi-line scroll mode
12:03:16matp|workwe can only scroll 1 line at the moment?
12:03:57Linusyes
12:04:46matp|workmy mp3s are sorted artist/album/track.mp3. parse mode displays artist and track, but not album
12:05:21Linuswell, fix it then :-)
12:05:33matp|worksure, i'm just clarifying
12:05:34Linusseriously, the Parse mode is a nightmare
12:06:06Linusthere are as many ways to organize a song library as there are rockbox users
12:06:24matp|workmaybe we should drop it then
12:06:39Linusor make it even more intelligent
12:06:56Linussomeone must have wanted it, since it's there
12:07:25matp|workyeah, maybe a format string in the options representing how you've organised your library
12:09:20matp|workbut not everyone has their library uniformly organised
12:09:50Hadakaa file in each directory telling how the directory is organized
12:10:01matp|workhow hard is multi-line scroll to implement?
12:10:03Hadakaif one wants to go all the way, that is
12:10:17Linusmatp|work: it shouldn't be too hard
12:10:29matp|workHadaka: good idea, or 1 for each song :)
12:10:49Hadakano
12:11:04matp|workHadaka: a joke
12:11:22Hadakamatp|work: when a song is playing, ID3v2 should be used - when browsing a directory, the directory format should be used
12:11:22LinusI believe that people who put that much effort in organizing their files also tend to keep their ID3 info correct
12:11:40Hadakaofcourse fallbacking to previous directories for searching it
12:16:53matp|workok, well, i'll try and take a look and tidy up what I can.

14:04:44wodokmokay thanx mbr_
14:09:24wodokmlinus: as you're with the lcd-icons, you can turn the param, audio, etc. displays on when they should be, so the display ain't that empty.. shouldn't be too much work either..
14:10:04Linusok, so when should the "param" and "audio" icons be on then?
14:10:26PsycoXulhey and usb icon in usb mode..
14:10:51wodokmhmm i guess it's when playing mp3 - audio is on, and param i think when in menu mode, right forgot that usb one - in usb mode of course...
14:10:53Linusi have always wondered what that icon would add to the already present info?
14:10:59Linusthe usb icon
14:11:18PsycoXula fuller, more impressive screen
14:11:22PsycoXul:p
14:11:31Linusok, so the Play icon doesn't tell it all?
14:11:32wodokmnothing, but when it's there, light it heheh yeah pycoXul's opinion hehehe
14:12:05wodokmwell, could be paused or whatever. just turn audio on while in playmode..
14:12:21Linuspause has another icon
14:12:22PsycoXulwell you know, at some point we may be playing text, images, etc...
14:12:31Linus:-)
14:12:39wodokmit's all kinda redundant, but hey - it's there...
14:12:48PsycoXulits just unfortunate that we dont have icons there for them :p
14:13:20PsycoXulthough images are only on the recorder where you make your anyways, but heh
14:13:59Linusi would appreciate if any of you guys could add those status updates to the appropriate files, i have so much to do
14:14:43Linusthe audio icon is easy, just change status.c
14:15:23Linusthe param icon is just plain unnecessary
14:15:42Linusor wait...
14:16:09Linusit could be used to signal the ON key combination state
14:16:31wodokmwhat combination state?
14:16:39Linushold ON in WPS and param lights up, telling you that you now can change parameters with another key
14:16:52Linuscurrently it's only the volume
14:17:16Linuson+left decreases volume and on+right increases it
14:17:21wodokmi thought ON changes to fileselector from WPS and vice versa?
14:17:33Linusi can imagine that we might want the keylock to work like that too
14:17:34wodokmyeah like on archos...
14:17:48Linuson+menu locks/unlocks the keys
14:18:02wodokmu know how hold workx on archos? i think it's better than the menu thing you now did...

14:18:28Linuswodokm: ON goes back to dir browse only if it is released without pressing any other keys in between
14:18:39wodokmso wherefore do you need the param light? it's pessing on & the other button TOGETHER, ain't it?
14:18:59Linuswodokm: i think the stock firmware locks the keys if you hold on for a long time
14:19:29Linusnobody is that precise
14:19:33wodokmaehmm.. mine does if you press ON+stop, and ON+stop again for un-holding...
14:19:46Linusah, ok
14:19:50Linuslet's do the same
14:20:04wodokmi think you should keep that combination...
14:20:08Linusi don't like the term "hold", i prefer "lock"
14:20:32wodokmrockbox will be VERY perfect.. it almost is already ;9 i'm so glad...
14:20:43wodokmwell, as you like...
14:20:44Linusthe param icon isn't needed, i just thought it could give some feedback
14:21:27Linuspush ON and keep it down. param lights up. then push another button.
14:21:45Linusmaybe it is a silly idea after all
14:21:56PsycoXulit sounds good to me
14:22:17wodokmyou mean when i hold down the ON, you it tells one can change volume/lock now? hmm well, do so. but then also light in when in menu, it doesn't hurt - and it's both when you can change paramters... or just when in parameter changing in menu, no t
14:22:31Linusi am thinking of using the Record icon to signal the key lock state
14:22:39wodokmnot the menu itself...
14:22:52wodokmwhat record icon ? =)
14:23:09PsycoXulthe one the player has but the stock firmware doesn't use
14:23:09PsycoXulheh
14:23:26Linusfor obvious reasons
14:23:35Evil_Mindis there's a way to make the JBP record as it was meant to be by archos ....?
14:23:37wodokmheheh cool, they wanted to use for ecording, but then they gave the recoder a brand new display hehehehe...
14:23:47wodokmyou you gotta use that one too somehow...
14:23:57LinusEvil_Mind: i think they planned on using the same display for the recorders
14:24:02wodokmmaybe in a hidden part to fake ppl tthat we can record hahaha
14:24:37wodokmlinus: yeah, planned, but then eveything changed (as always)
14:24:47Evil_Mindso thers no way the player will be able to record?
14:24:53Linusso you think we should light the param icon when in the settings menu?
14:24:59LinusEvil_Mind: no
14:25:04Evil_Mindso the player is ready ...its just a frimware issue?
14:25:17LinusEvil_Mind: no
14:25:22wodokmlinus: well, yes, not in the menu selection, but when you're really changing values!
14:25:23 Quit Hes (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
14:25:49Linusok
14:26:23wodokmi think that's quite understandable then! (kinda warning light - you're about to change something with the next press of a key)
14:26:58Linushehe. but is it intuitive? i think not.
14:27:49Linusgoing into a menu called "settings" kind of tells you something... :-)
14:28:00wodokmwell, it's just for information, normally we could (and can) live without it - no problem - we just want to use it sensibly?
14:28:17Linusi have no problems using it
14:28:47Linusi'm just questioning the value of it
14:29:02Linusbut it sure doesn't make things worse
14:29:15Linuslet's add it
14:29:48wodokmyeah sure, there's no big value, but as with the ON discussion i think it's okay when it lits the param (waiting for other key to come), and so it's also okay when setting values from the menu.. so.... yeah - add it! ;)
14:30:00Linuswhat does the stock firmware do when you press a key in the locked state?
14:30:32wodokmi think nothing, wait - i gott aget it from my car (anyway)
14:32:34Linushow do we want to lock the keys on the recorder?
14:32:41Linusa function key?
14:32:49Linusor ON+DOWN?
14:32:55Linusor...?
14:33:12PsycoXulwell it should be a key combo... a bumpable unlock key isn't that useful
14:33:30Linusok. on+down then
14:33:37wodokmwhen holding ON down on the player the following appears:
14:33:42wodokm> SELECT
14:33:51wodokm# HOLD Off
14:33:54wodokmresp.
14:33:57wodokm#HOLD On
14:34:24wodokmso ppl see they have a choice now! (but the volume thing is not described - the 2 lines problem)

14:44:45Linus<> are of course the arrow characters
14:45:10wodokmrite, principially my idea!
14:45:40wodokmwell we could use the square icon for STOP or write STOP, but that's not too impotant now i guess...
14:45:45Linusthe problem is of course that if the user doesn't select anything, it will leave the WPS
14:46:35Linusthere is no square character on the older displays
14:47:58wodokmahh.. the characters are not programmable on the older displays? on the newer they are, you have the rockbox "logo"...

14:51:29Linuswodokm: the rockbox "logo" is nothing but normal characters in the double-height mode (which isn't available on the older displays either)
14:51:32wodokmor well, it's ppls fault then when not selecting anything.. they can return to WPS with simply pressing ON again, not that prob'
14:51:34wodokm?
14:51:52Linusno, not a problem. but is it intuitive?
14:52:08wodokmwow, double height mode? really - per hardware? wow what a display....
14:52:30Linusi was thinking of using the MENU key instead
14:52:44Linusholding menu gives a "fast" choice
14:52:49Linusreleasing it goes to the menu
14:52:56wodokmno, but the only solution i found for now... archos changes to files mode with ON+PLAY.. but i like the ON-switching the way it is now...
14:53:21wodokmlinus: that's a GREAT idea!!!!
14:53:49wodokmbecause these 2 things ae pactically menu points, just a shortcut... GREAT - that's it..!!
14:53:59Linusi think so too

14:55:29wodokmi'm aware of the UI problem...
14:56:11wodokmand in the course they said no unit should need an documentation.. well, that's be the best, but not when limited with small displays etc.. it's not always possible then =(

15:08:58Linusi wrote it from scratch
15:09:13Linusbut it was FAT16
15:09:19wodokmnot a problem when you have the ATA running for reading sectors?
15:09:30Linusactually i simulated the ATA
15:09:34wodokmso i guess FAT16 is quite simply, if it's only for reading?
15:09:45LinusFAT16/12 is much worse
15:09:48wodokmwhoha
15:10:00wodokm12?
15:10:01Linuslots of silly bit shifting and stuff
15:10:07LinusFAT12 is for floppies

16:28:56Linusbtw, you should have both gcc and sh-elf-gcc in the path
16:28:58Learmy thought exactly; installing cygwin's now
16:30:09Learah, that worked better...

16:32:45Learargh. normal build fails: FATAL: can't create /cygdrive/d/Source/C/Rockbox/build/drivers/adc.o: No such file or directory
16:32:51Learbut the directory is there...
16:33:31Linusstrange
16:33:46MoofleJust a quick question : where in the code is the version number displayed at splash? Could'nt grep it anywhere (ex : 020723)
16:33:49Learif I create the file first, it works...
16:34:40LinusMoofle: the version number is generated by the build script
16:34:52notchWhat do you windows users use to view the rockbox source files?
16:35:04aakilLear: Change /cygdrive/d to d:/
16:35:13Linusnotch: emacs
16:35:18notchthanks!
16:35:24Learaakil: where? in the generated makefile?
16:35:30MoofleLinus: thx
16:35:32aakilYes
16:35:51Learaakil: thanks, that helped
16:37:55Learwhat the... still missing memcmp!
16:38:06Linusnotch: any sensible Windows user would use emacs, most of them don't
16:38:20aakilLear: That's a problem with GnuSH v0203
16:38:33Linusaakil: aha!
16:38:34aakilLear: Go back to v0202 and you'll be fine
16:39:08Learaakil: typical. otoh, writing a new memcmp shouldn't be that hard. :)
16:39:26aakilLear: Yeah, but why bloat unnecessarily :)
16:39:34aakilLear: esp. for Windows!!
16:39:58notchLinus: know where I would find a windows exe, or will I have to build it...
16:40:49Learaakil: but isn't gcc 3.1 much better?
16:41:03Linusnotch: http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/gnu/windows/emacs/
16:41:23LinusLear: you can build your own compiler
16:42:07Learlinus: perhaps, but I'd rather not...

16:56:42Learhm... want to change defaults for a build (due to lack of persistant settings on player), but it is placed in (at least) 3 different files...
16:57:28Linuswhat?
16:58:23Learwhat what? :) the default settings (as set in settings.c:settings_reset)
16:58:56Linusthe default values should be in settings.h
16:59:14Learnot quite. some are set in settings.h, others in settings.c, and yet some in mpeg.c (despite some defines in settings.h)
16:59:30Linuswhich settings do you mean?
16:59:54Linusaha. i see
17:00
17:00:22notchwhere are the button pushes handled in the firmware?
17:00:29notchCan't seem to find it...

17:00:41notchoh !!
17:00:43Linusfirmware/drivers/button.c
17:00:58notch:-)
17:01:18LinusLear: the MPEG defaults are hard to have in settings.h
17:02:03Linusthe other are hard coded because some developers have been lazy
17:02:09Linusi'll fix that
17:02:26Learlinus: why?
17:02:33Linuswhy fix it?
17:02:47Learlinus: no, why hard to have mpeg defaults in settings.h
17:03:23Linusbecause those depend on the hardware configuration, something the application shouldn't care about
17:04:36Linusbut yes, it is of minor importance
17:05:27Learlinus: but they seem to be the same for all targets... and shouldn't the API be the same for all configurations? :)
17:05:57Linusbass and treble are not the same for all targets
17:06:29Learonly one defaultval struct that I can see...
17:06:38Linuswith #ifdefs
17:06:48Learsorry, looked at uisimulator. :)
17:08:34Linusactually, i think the DEFAULT_XXX macros are useless

18:07:30Linusi wonder if he really tested it on target
18:09:06Zagorgood question
18:09:57Linusthere were a zillion warnings about missing prototypes and such, so i guess he only simulated it
18:10:17Linusnot a zillion, that was unfair
18:10:32Linushe has done a great job

18:33:09elinenbeZagor: hello
18:33:50elinenbeI thought the lodable font patch was pretty good.
18:34:33Linuselinenbe: do you develop on Windows?
18:34:38elinenbeunder cygwin
18:34:55Linusthat probably explains it
18:35:20elinenbe...for rockbox, most my stuff is on Sun machines for school and MSVC for other stuff.
18:35:35elinenbeI have been playing around with QT under windows. Pretty nice stuff there.
18:35:45 Nick Tumm is now known as tumm (coyote@212.85.67.96)
18:36:01Linuselinenbe: so you don't find the character output slow?
18:36:07elinenbeLinus: with all this button stuff, now I can program Street Fighter for the Rockbox
18:36:23elinenbeLinus: lemme check again. I will load it up and tell you what I think.
18:36:23elinenbeok
18:37:48Linusall those #ifdefs in wps.c makes me crazy
18:38:09Linuswe need to rewrite some parts there
18:39:13elinenbeokay. scrolling is quite slow (as in up and down through a directory)
18:39:23elinenbethis needs to be faster in rockbox too though.
18:39:24Linusyes
18:40:15elinenbeI think your goal should be 5x faster directory browsing. :)
18:42:09elinenbeLinus: I think you should send an email out to the font developer telling him it needs to be faster.
18:42:22elinenbeHe is wondering why it has not been submitted.
18:43:02Linusi have
18:43:10elinenbethat is great.
18:44:29Linusi think saying "for unknown reasons it still didn't make it into CVS" is a little unfair
18:44:38Linusit is a huge patch
18:44:55Linusand we are on vacation
18:45:06elinenbeI agree. I also agree that there are bugs in the current CVS
18:45:19elinenbetry going into Info, or Verison
18:45:21elinenbeVersion
18:45:39elinenbecan't do it.
18:45:50Linusoooops.
18:46:27Linusthe button driver has changed
18:46:53Linusand all info screens just wait for any button event
18:47:24Linuswhich will be the key-up event of the key that selected the menu item
18:50:43***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
18:59:20Linusfixed and committed

19:01:18LinusZagor: your deep sleep has broken the USB mode
19:02:17Zagorreally? any idea how?
19:02:23Zagorah, of course.
19:02:31Zagorwe need to reset the disk when entering usb mode.
19:02:48Linusi don't think the ISDx00 likes that the disk sleeps when we enter the USB mode
19:02:56Zagornope
19:03:07Linusi tried that, but it doesn't help
19:03:33Zagortried what? resetting? after reset the disk is in normal state, so that should be enough
19:04:06Linusyeah, i thought so too
19:06:51Linusaha.
19:07:10Linusata_soft_reset() followed by ata_init() solved the problem
19:07:38Linusinteresting that the disk doesn't spin up when doing a soft reset
19:09:49Zagorwell, why should it? maybe you just want to query it something.
19:10:18Linustrue

20:26:28Learhm... in settings_load, don't you need to call stuff like lcd_scroll_speed to make the settings take effect?
20:40:22Learyep, seems like that did the trick.
20:43:45Learthat means calls to lcd_scroll_speed(), backlight_time() and 3-5 calls (depending on model) to mpeg_sound_set(), AFAICS.
20:45:43HesSomeone tell Linus he broke tetris.
20:45:57HesJust as I was demonstrating the coolness of rockbox to my girlfriend
20:48:10Hesand failed miserably since I updated the code from CVS just before that.
20:48:17HesI blame Linus!
20:48:42Learhes: could be the button updates (to report button releases as well as presses)
20:48:52HesRight.
20:50:27Learbtw, anyone knows if rockbox is better than archos firmware with regards to gaps during playback?
20:50:45***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
20:51:00Learwhen I used Lame −−alt-preset standard, I'd get occasional short dropouts of sound (half a second perhaps) every now and then.
20:51:52Learwhen I changed to Lame −−abr 160 they dissapeared, so I suspect the buffering wasn't good enough...
20:54:52Zagorgaps are inherent in mp3, since frames depend on each other
20:55:43LearI'm not talking between tracks or anything
20:56:28Zagoroh, ok. you get skipping mid-song? that shouldn't happen with Rockbox anyway.
20:57:34 Quit jedix` (Remote closed the connection)
20:59:30LearHm.. The key lock doesn't block volume changes (with "menu" and "+" and "-"). Is that correct?

21:45:12Linusi have fixed the top-priority bug now
21:45:33HesExcellent.
21:45:45HesI found the bug as I was demonstrating the coolness of rockbox to my girlfriend
21:45:50Hesand failed miserably since I updated the code from CVS just before that.
21:46:10Linussorry about that...
21:46:28HesThanks for the fix. 8-)
21:46:42Linuswell, i caused it, so...
21:47:17HesMy fault, demonstrated bleeding-edge code before testing it. Demo effect hit me right away.
21:47:29Linushehe
21:47:46Linusthat's the beauty of being a programmer
21:47:47HesOkay, bed time, good night. I'm off for the weekend.
21:47:57Linusyou can make awful mistakes
21:48:05Linusbut you become a hero when you fix them
21:48:15Linusbye Hes!
21:48:40LinusZagor: are you there?
22:00
22:25:27Zagoryup
22:25:52*Zagor is packing frenetically
22:25:59Linushehe
22:26:14Linusdo you have time?
22:26:35Zagoralways for you.. ;) what is it?
22:26:46Linusi am thinking about the UI
22:27:10Linusand the status information
22:27:18Linuswhat do we want?
22:27:37Zagorwe want options :-)
22:27:44Linusi can imagine a status bar at the top of the screen
22:27:57Linus(yes, yes, confugirable)
22:28:17Zagoryeah, I think an archos-style status row at the top is a good idea
22:28:19Linusand a function key bar at the bottom
22:28:37Linusso how would we want to update it?
22:29:05Linusa status_draw() call once in a while?
22:29:06Zagorthe function keys are definitely a configurable option
22:29:18Zagorhmm. a thread?
22:29:30Linusa thread that calls lcd_update()
22:29:48Linusor maybe we need an lcd_update_rect()
22:30:56Zagoran optimised lcd_update() would probably be good, yes
22:31:30Zagorbut the question is more about who calls the update code, I guess?
22:32:24Linusif we have lcd_update_rect() we wouldn't have to care
22:32:40Linusthe two threads would be updating different parts of the lcd
22:33:55Zagorpossibly. but otoh i'm not sure it's very nice having every thread use update_rect(). only those updating small things should use it, IMHO.
22:34:21Linusi can imagine another solution
22:34:50Zagorbtw, did you fix the logbot cronjob?
22:34:55Linuslet's say that the main thread receives a TICK_MSG every once in a while
22:35:04Linusand then calls status_draw()
22:35:13Linusno, i didn't fix it
22:35:23Linusi think you have a syncronization problem
22:35:35Linusdancer renames the log too late
22:35:37Linusi think
22:36:15Zagorthe rename only happens after we try and copy it, so I don't use the renamed name
22:36:24Linusaha
22:36:39Zagorit happens on the first event after midnight, while I copy 23:59
22:36:46Linusok, so it copies, and then renames?
22:37:05Zagorno the cronjob copies to a different destination name
22:37:37Linusok so one job renames it at 00:00, and another copies it at 23:59?
22:42:43Zagorno, there's only one job: 23:59 cp logfile `date +rockbox-%Y%m%d.log`
22:43:05Zagordancer renames it's logfile on the first irc event after midnight
22:43:10Zagorthat's not a cron job
22:43:22Linusand how well does dancer know the time
22:43:24Linus?
22:43:37Zagorit's running on the same host as the cron job
22:44:00Linusno mail from cron?
22:44:17Zagordoh! i have them turned off :)
22:50:48***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
22:51:55Linusso what do you think about the TICK_MSg idea?
22:55:00Zagorthe problem is there are so many places in the code where we need to handle such a message
22:55:12Linusyes
22:55:21Zagoris there any reason why we don't just chuck another thread at it?
22:55:34Linusnot rally
22:55:37Linusreally
22:56:10Zagorthen I think we should do it that way
22:56:31Linusok, so a status thread that updates the top of the screen
22:56:35Zagoryup
22:56:46Linuswith or without lcd_update()?
22:57:13Zagorwith. there's no telling when the main thread will call it next time
22:57:27Linusso maybe even an lcd_update_rect()?
22:57:37Zagorthat'd be a bonus, yes
22:59:06Linusby the way, an average lcd_update() takes 8.5ms today
22:59:40Linusand tree.c does 3 of those for every cursor move
23:00

23:26:39Learlinus: don't know if you saw it, but at the very end of load_setting(), there should be calls to lcd_scroll_speed(), backlight_time() and mpeg_sound_set(). At least, I think that covers all...

23:36:22Linusmecraw: because we don't want to swallow it all
23:37:07Linusbut maybe we can use a filter mask just like the repeat mask
23:37:24Learlinus: like to allow volume change?
23:37:55LinusLear: yeah, at leat to allow the qualifier (MENU or F1)
23:38:28LinusLear: those calls can't be in settings.c
23:38:48Linusbecause that may be called before the mpeg is initialized
23:38:49Learlinus: why? they're needed. and I have a build with them...
23:39:22Linuslook at main.c
23:40:46Linusactually, a filter mask isn't stupid at all...
23:40:56Learlinus: ah, so ditch mpeg_sound_set() then. the others are needed. could be in main.c instead...
23:43:42Linusactually, the scroller should use global_settings.scroll_speed directly
23:44:25Linusthe same goes for backlight
23:44:31Learweird, when I paste a new build to the archos drive, the old archos.mod is deleted, but the new one isn't copied...
23:45:07Linushow do you see that?
23:45:54Linusi hope you removed the unit safely
23:46:26LearIt just disappears (in Windows Explorer that is). And I always disconnect properly...
23:46:55Linuswow
23:47:11Linusor are you fooled by the fact that it appears at the bottom of the list?
23:47:35Learnope, not that many files in the root...
23:47:59Linusmaybe windows has opinions on what .MOD files should do?
23:48:34Learbut there's something fishy with my USB... Noticed that certain MP3's wouldn't copy to the archos, no matter what I did
23:48:58 Join wodokm [0] (wodokm@sunhalle13.informatik.tu-muenchen.de)
23:49:10Learthen I discovered that I could fix that - by disconnecting my USB printer. Somehow, some data got re-directed there (saw activity on the hub)
23:49:16Linusthat *really* sounds like unsafe removel to me
23:50:12Learwhat, the USB printer? USB is hot-plug after all...
23:50:55LearAnother thing; when Archos is connected and doing something (like copying a file), the keyboard (also USB) goes dead for a little while. Not the mouse though.
23:50:59Linusi wrote that before i saw your text about the printer
23:51:26Linuswow
23:51:36Linusyou are an USB guy for sure... :-)
23:52:12Learbut I wonder if it is such a good idea...
23:52:54Learfunny, that disappearing .mod file *only* happens the first time after connect, it seems.
23:57:41Learanother bug perhaps: when entering certain (largish) directories, the cursor is located on the last entry, rather than the first...
23:58:03Linuswow
23:58:06Linusrepeatable?
