00:19:26Ennanbut first a question..could it be that i allready 'have' gcc?
00:19:37Bagderinstalled, yes
00:19:46Bagdernot necessarily the source code
00:20:20Ennanah...could you send me the url of that manual you send me earlier?

00:20:37Ennannvr mind..

00:31:22 Nick _seb_ is now known as seb-away (user@bgp420584bgs.union01.nj.comcast.net)
00:31:44Ennanwell, making binutils and gcc
00:32:26radhardYeah, it's more complicated than it should, but it's worthwile!
00:32:58Ennantoo bad you don't understand a thing your shell says..it's just too quick :)
00:33:11Ennanjust follow instructions and let the characters run by you..
00:34:17Ennanok, but now, i'm allmost done with the gcc..and then what?
00:34:18radhardWell, took the windows way as said. Don't know which is less "being run by something" ;)
00:34:28Ennan:)
00:35:32radhardI'm of no use with Linus installations, just good enough to pass some jokes...
00:36:04Ennantwo archos owners walk into a bar says one: i know a program that will rock your box..
00:38:33radhardMaybe he should say "I know *something* that will rock your box.." Just to see the look on his face. :-)
00:38:43radhardHehe....
00:39:38Ennan:)
00:39:41radhardOther one: "What? You kidd'n me!"
00:40:04Ennaneeuhm, i'm building now, but the script wants to know if i have a new or old lcd
00:40:05radhardFirst one: "Well, let's go outside and I'll show you!"
00:40:10Ennanhow the f*ck do i know..
00:40:29radhard? Got a recorder, sorry....
00:40:41Ennanfirst one gets his archos from his underpants and flashes it..
00:40:47radhardJust try, if display looks weird, take the other one.
00:41:44radhardDon't know where you keep your Archos when out, but.... :)
00:42:14Ennan:)
00:42:27EnnanI just compiled my first archos.mod (all chear please)
00:42:37Ennannow i have to do the patch..ever done 1?
00:43:11radhardNo one managed it to fry his box with software. Well, at least I've never heared something like that.
00:43:17radhardWell, congrats on that!
00:43:48radhardNo, just unchecked and changed code as i need...
00:44:21radhardShould be done by your local CVS client or by yourself ;)
00:45:22Ennan...badger said somethign about the patch command..
00:45:32Ennanand i *hav* a patch command available..
00:45:40Ennanproblem is..when do i call it :)

00:47:42Ennanat least thats what the manual sais..
00:47:46radhardYepp
00:48:14radhardthat's it. Think it's called "merge" in my cvs-client.
00:49:11Ennannot using cvs..just downloaded the sourcefiles and the pathfiels

00:57:38radhardWell, what does it say? Hi langhaar!
00:57:51langhaarrockerWal
00:58:10radhardtypo?
00:58:45langhaarrockerno. You are German and should know that Wal is an appropriate answer to Hai
00:59:36radhardHehe, ok. Didn't say hai! ;)
00:59:55langhaarrockerBut it sounded the same here.

01:01:23Ennan??
01:01:27radhardmanage. That's been a typo.
01:01:29Ennanhi langhaar
01:01:37langhaarrockerHi Ennan
01:02:13radhardeminem: That a clearly described error. Maybe you should have a look at the definition and at the function call.
01:02:40Ennani was going to...but i assume that is was alright when the patch was made
01:02:50Ennanlanghaarrocker: you know about patchin builds?
01:04:26langhaarrockernot much.
01:04:36radhardNow, here the compiler clearly stated what's wrong.
01:05:12radhardNot all patches work, if applied to your downloaded version.
01:06:23Ennanwell, i am looking at a function that has a variable less than it should have..
01:06:36Ennanbut it doesnt do any good to me trusting the patch..
01:06:45radhardThen you know, what's wrong ;)
01:07:00radhardHow's it called?
01:07:17radhardIn which file?
01:07:29Ennani'm looking at a functino call in the palylist.c file
01:07:42Ennanplay_list("/", NULL, 0, false, 0, 1);
01:07:51Ennanand looking at "int play_list"
01:07:56Ennanwe see it needs 7 vars
01:08:44Ennandir, file, start index, shuffled index, start offset, random seed,first index
01:09:02Ennanshuffled index is a bool, so there should be 3 ints afterwards..
01:09:08Ennanand w only have 2...
01:09:23Ennanstart offset...0 sounds good 2 me
01:09:51Ennanbut is it the random seed or the first index..
01:09:54Ennanthat's missing
01:10:18radhardAs i see, the CVS doesn't even have a playlist.c. Maybe something wrong here. Mom.
01:11:36Ennan?? the source i just downloaded does....
01:11:50radhardAaah ok, searches in firmware but is in apps. Got it.
01:12:28 Join Jet8810 [0] (~Joshua@adsl-35-1-182.bct.bellsouth.net)
01:13:50radhardMight be a path to an old version? If the value doesn't tell you what is is, it might get difficult. Well, seeds should not be a constant, so maybe that's what is missing.
01:14:12Ennanwell, the seed is in the original file, and in the original call..
01:14:26Ennanso i guess that the last is new, and just made it a 0
01:14:30Ennanworks for that error..
01:15:37radhardWhere's the call to that function?
01:17:35radhardJust wondering why to pass a constant random seed. Hmmm.
01:18:48Ennanwell, it sounds stupid...
01:19:07Ennanput if you have playlist.c there, the call is round line 80
01:19:20Ennangoing to bed...

06:47:43hardeepeg. ff/rew is broken, none of the f keys work
06:49:46adi|homein the wps screen?
06:50:05hardeepyes, there are also similar bugs on the file browser
06:50:05adi|homehmmm... well.. the release/repeat shouldn't be being used.. ill look into it
06:51:46hardeepi believe the change Zagor is referring to in his TODO is to change the button code to send all events and have each module handle them
06:52:04hardeepinstead of selectively sending them which is what the release/repeat masks did
06:52:37adi|homeff seems to work for me
06:53:00adi|homerew is screwed up
06:53:30adi|homeright.. thats the problem.. nothing should be being masked out...
06:53:36adi|homeand thats what the select did.
06:53:46***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
06:54:04hardeepthe select is the opposite, it chose what events needed to be sent
06:54:11hardeepeverything else was masked out
06:55:37hardeepso, now you've effectively set the mask to send no repeat/release events

10:28:48langhaarrockerhttp://rockbox.haxx.se/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2002-08/1117.shtml
10:29:29adi|homefair enough
10:30:19langhaarrockerAnd I noticed that the procedure for publishing a patch described in http://rockbox.haxx.se/docs/contributing.html is out of date: it now should go to the patch tracker of sf.
10:33:55adi|homenods
10:38:00adi|homeokay.. fixed.. itll take time to take... but i updated it
10:38:07adi|homeanything else off hand?
10:38:33langhaarrockerI thinkt zagor once pointed out a goot method on how to add a new file to a diff
10:38:53langhaarrockerWas something weired with comparing to the null device.
10:39:08langhaarrockerI currently am digging the irc logs.
10:44:29adi|homenods
10:44:36langhaarrockergot it in the http://rockbox.haxx.se/irc/rockbox-20020926.txt
10:44:37langhaarrocker17.02.55 # <Zagor> run "diff -ub /dev/null newfile.c" to get proper diff output for new files. then add that to the diff.
10:45:09adi|homehmm do me a favor and check with him if he wants that in the FAQ
10:47:24langhaarrockerAs long as he's offline I can't
10:47:24langhaarrockerThe problem ist that when you want to make a patch for the patch tracker you can upload only one file. Problematic when your patch contains new files .

13:55:00radhardHi!
13:55:03Bagderhey
13:55:25radhardIs there a possibility to play around with the processor registers?
13:55:36Bagder"play around" ?
13:56:12radhardYep, setting ports high and low and stuff. Yes, I really want to fry my jukebox... ;)
13:57:33radhardIf ur doing hardware anlysis, it's annoying to compile over and over again to set registers.
13:58:00Bagderyou mean you want a special screen that let you fiddle with them ?
13:58:19radhardSomething like taht
13:58:41Bagderwe don't have anything like that atm
13:59:41radhardHm. Mybe I have to program something like that. Won't have much time for this today.
14:00
14:00:31radhardWell, how did you figure out all theese settings? Just kept the original register setup?
14:01:05Bagderresearch
14:01:06Bagdertest
14:01:08Bagdertrial
14:01:09Bagderdebug
14:01:43Bagderinitially we tried dissassembling the Archos firmware, but really is hard and slow work to try to decipher stuff like that
14:02:24Bagderbesides, there's docs for the CPU and stuff, most of it is documented
14:02:34radhardyep, agreed. I'd like to try it the other way, since the software is already up and running.
14:03:10radhardI have some problems with the schematics. They're missing some things,
14:03:34Bagderyes
14:03:56Bagderseveral things have been found out to be wrong there
14:04:04radhardI've heared a rumour that it is not possible to prevent the Archos von shutting down. Is that right?
14:04:13Bagderright
14:04:51radhardThere should be a way to prevent that, but it's not in the schematics. Is there a known bugs list?
14:05:17Bagdernot that I know of
14:05:26BagderI just know several people have mentioned flaws
14:06:22radhardI've seen the original firmware preventing shutdown. Maybe i can do a quick search on the mail archive.
14:08:38radhardIs there a general IO management module? I can't find one in the sources.
14:09:29Bagderyou mean like firmware/common/file.c ?
14:10:44radhardYep. One that manages the processor registers and that prevents somebody from doing read/modify/write and stuff.
14:11:13Bagderthere's nothing that prevents anything from "doing read/modify/write and stuff"
14:13:08radhardThat has been a hard lesson for me to learn. Since then, i always use a general IO module for playing with the processor registers. Direct access can lead to very annoying bugs. How do you handle concurrent access from two modules?
14:13:25Bagderwe don't have concurrent access
14:13:36Bagderwe use a cooperative multitasking
14:13:38radhardI beleive you do ;)
14:13:48Bagderlike when?
14:14:21radhardAn ISR is able to interrupt the ccop and play with registers the same moment
14:14:39Bagderright
14:14:53Bagderso what if it does?
14:15:14Bagderit does nothing major on irq
14:15:37radhardThe registers end up in a mess and the program could crash. Or produce strange effects like inaccessible harddisk.
14:15:50Bagderwhy would they?
14:15:58Bagderyou're just guessing here, right?
14:16:53radhardI've seen that very often before, and it's a common mistake. Nearly costed a colleague his job.
14:17:35Bagderwell, that might be true, but to take that as far to say that our way is flawed is a bit much
14:17:59BagderI would believe you if you pointed out details
14:18:07Bagdernot just guessing
14:18:21radhardJust drifting off. No, i don't say that. Just trying to find out how you handle this problem.
14:19:02radhardMainly I'm just looking for safe IO access to all registers ;)
14:19:29Bagderthen stop looking, we have none ;-)
14:20:44radhardOk, that's an answer! I'll have a look at some ISRs and other IO handling. Maybe I find a way to do it. Don't get me wrong, please. I think rockbox is a great piece of software!
14:21:10Bagderhey, if you can find flaws in the code, I'm just happy to correct them
14:21:39radhardI'd be happy to tell you!
14:22:43radhardOk, then I'll dive a bit into. Thanks and bye!

14:28:59*Bagder is clueless
14:29:34rad[away]Hi! Think it's floating or already pushed to Vcc
14:30:18calpefroschyes, I tried to pull it to Vss with a resistor, but I didn't "moved"
14:31:04rad[away]Uh, that's bad.
14:31:09calpefroschmaybe the resistor was to high, but I don't wanna destroy my beloved jukebox
14:31:17rad[away]Value?
14:31:21calpefrosch100k
14:31:28 Nick rad[away] is now known as radhard (~radhard@p50850EA8.dip.t-dialin.net)
14:31:36radhardThat IS too high. Try 5K
14:32:00calpefroschhmm, ok. so one bit is a pulse to low..
14:32:05radhardThe port can handle 2mA and even a 3K would only draw 1mA.
14:32:28radhardYepp, that's common for most controller UART.

14:42:29calpefroschredhard: did you ever tried the remote input ?
14:43:29radhardI'm on that. I'll have to do it with open recorder, because i don't have a 4 pin plug.
14:44:05calpefroschok, you are from germany ?
14:44:16radhardJust building a "laboratory recorder setup". Yes, i am.
14:44:33calpefroschme too, which city ?
14:44:43radhardGummersbach near cologne
14:44:58calpefroschI'm from guetersloh
14:45:31radhardI've heard it, but can't remeber where it is...
14:45:56calpefroschat the A2 between Hannover and Dortmund
14:46:18radhardAh, ok. Not too far away.
14:46:46radhardDid you measure the current through the 1k?
14:47:07calpefroschno, I only gave short bursts
14:48:13radhardMaybe you could measure voltage and current through a 5k? That should be safe.
14:48:55radhardSorry, that is safe.

14:50:44radhardBadger: Did you hear of Jean J. Labrosse?
14:52:51Bagdernope
14:53:57***No seen item changed, no save performed.
14:54:27radhardHe did a complete portable, ROMable, scalable, preemptive real time operating system called "MicroC/OS-II". It's great work, easy to use, and free as far as i know. We used this on in an application.
14:55:08radhardAnd it's standard C, no weird C++ stuff. Much like RTKernel.
14:57:47Bagderneat
14:58:12calpefroschradhard: at 4.7k I measured 0.6V drop
14:58:23radhardEven though it is not used here, it is great for private projects and a very interesting lecture. It's been ported to over 20 microcontroller by now. Even AVR. Don't now about SH-1...
14:59:12radhardDrop from line to ground loaded(unloaded or drop over the resistor?
14:59:42calpefroschover the resistor
15:00
15:00:01Triple-zis there a cue file support yet?
15:01:00Bagderno
15:01:05radhardThis is 0.12mA. That's not very much.
15:01:55radhardCan you measure the unloaded voltage, please?
15:01:56calpefroschthat's weired, seems to me that it is an output
15:02:37calpefroschI have 3,3V unloaded, and with the resistor to gnd 2,7V
15:03:13radhardNo, its not on output. Think it's push by resistor. That's very good for out own remote interface!
15:04:32calpefroschyes, but is has to be around 1K pull-up
15:04:47calpefroschI cannot believe that
15:05:20calpefroschI could try a 500 Ohm short burst
15:05:51radhardWait a minute. If the voltage drops from 3.3 to 2.7V, you should have the full 2.7V drop over the resistor. That makes .6mA.
15:06:22radhardYou're right. Seems like a 1K.
15:06:46calpefroschyou are right too, I had the 2.7V over the resistor
15:06:56calpefroschsorry

16:21:26rad[shopping]We almost know, that there's a 1K pullup and the remote pushes GND. With 2mA driving capability of the processor that would make a bidirectional remote impossible. But the processor seems to be capable of driving 2mA Vcc and sinking 8mA to groud. I have to check this again with the datasheet, but this new information will lead to a slightly different direction in the remote discussion.

16:37:59radhardYep. It was close, but i managed it before 16:00 ;)
16:38:15calpefroschhehe
16:38:53calpefroschok, I build a circuit with oc, but I didn't worked
16:39:48radhardThe SH1 doc says, that it is capable of 10mA sink. That should work, but the voltage is very high then. What did you send?
16:40:42calpefrosch0xC1 , as ASCII Char 191 , I tried some others, but... nothing happened
16:41:10radhard0xC1 is play. Did you use a PC to send?
16:41:18calpefroschI have no compiler running, can u put the rec-register in the debug view ?
16:41:32calpefroschyes, I sent it with win2000 hyperterminal
16:41:49radhardeeee, dont think it's appropriate.
16:42:10radhard9600 Baud?
16:42:44calpefroschwhy not ? I watched the signals with an oczilloskop...
16:42:59calpefroschyes, 9600 Baud, 8N1
16:43:39radhardHmm, if it really sends 0xc1 it should be ok.
16:43:43calpefroschjust got the PICs today, and I have to build a programmer first...
16:44:27radhardMaybe switch to Atmel? they are much easier to program in hw and sw.
16:44:42calpefroschso it would be good to watch the registers with the debug
16:45:18calpefroschno, I have years of experience with the PIC16C57 and so it's ok
16:45:45radhardI can send you one if you are interested. Ok. I would have to look where the code is located.
16:45:49calpefroschnow I have the 16F84 and need an different programmer
16:46:15radhardOoooh. Serial and 16f84 doesn't fit very good.
16:47:14calpefroschsure, but there is a sw-serial code I worked with, it's okey. I have to feed my sony radio, too.
16:48:58calpefroschback to the debug output. can you put it in the firmware ?
16:49:03radhardI would only recommend it for transmission, but not for reception. I know both processors very well and i've never seen a godd (i.e. failsafe) reception routine. 16x oversampling is a bit too heavy for this device ;)
16:49:39calpefroschok, I could switch to 16F628 ( right? ). It has an hw receiver...
16:50:07radhardYes, that'd be ok.
16:53:46radhardI'd like one of those tiny AVR 8pin SMDs for a *very* small and lightweight remote. This could be self powered without modification, since it has a calibrateable on-chip RC oscillator.

16:57:18calpefroschah, cool. First I want to have a car changer emulation. I found an open source project with this PIC, so I could use it...
16:57:54radhardsounds good, maybe i should buy a sony ;)
16:58:51calpefroschyes, I thought about selling my Sony with ebay and buy a new cheap one with changer control...
17:00
17:00:00radhardWhat about your transistor setup?
17:01:28calpefroschwhat do you mean ?
17:03:52radhardHow did you connect the PC and the Archos?
17:04:31radhardAt least you need one transistor.
17:04:56calpefroschok, I put a diode and 4k7 at the base and the emitter to gnd. the collector at the archos
17:05:35radhardAll GNDs connected, i suppose....
17:05:53calpefroschthen I tried a max232 and at the 5V ouput this circuit. Yes all to gnd
17:06:18radhardWith the max232 it won't work.
17:06:49calpefroschwhy?
17:07:47radhardGot a compiler error with the latest source. Damn. Easy: PC idle is -9V, Max changes it to 5V what makes the transistor push to gnd (dominant pegel at the archos).
17:08:51radhardPossibly you nee a resistor (about 10k) from base to ground in the transistor-only setup.

20:43:41Mine78i saw in the main page written "removed showtext.c"
20:43:50Mine78what does it mean ? that the text editor is disabled ?
20:44:02hardeepno, this was an older text editor
20:44:07Mine78ah ok
20:44:12Mine782nd
20:44:40Mine78Mondya I am going to buy a recorder 10 so I woul like to know "with rockbox firmware can I record "?
20:44:55 Part elinenbe
20:44:57hardeepNo, recording is not yet supported.
20:45:09hardeepIt will hopefully be in the next release but there are no guarantees
20:45:11Mine78Why is it so hard to do if you can explain me ?
20:45:25hardeepHowever, if you need to record, you can make use of the ROLO feature on rockbox
20:45:36hardeepwhich will let you run the Archos firmware from within rockbox to record
20:46:02Mine78(I still don't have a recorder... until monday... I cannpot try...) ROLO is a menu inside the rocbox firmware >?
20:46:30hardeepMine78: Recording requires writing to disk which isn't currently implemented
20:47:31Mine78ROLO is a menu inside the rocbox firmware ?
20:47:44hardeepMine78: see Q33 on http://rockbox.haxx.se/docs/faq.html
20:48:00Mine78ops......... sorry ! I read the faq but don't remember it !
20:48:04Mine78Other 2 questions
20:48:33Mine781) Will be possible to connect a player/recorder with a smartmedia or compactflash interfaces to download files on the recorder without needing a pc ?
20:49:28hardeepprobably not without hardware modifications
20:49:58Mine78...............so exchanges of files (for example between 2 recorders) will be impossible without modding...
20:50:44hardeepi'm not all that familiar with the hardware but, yes, I believe it would require modifications
20:50:52Mine78question 2 - Having a graphic display could be useful to display VERY SIMPLE images ? For example small bmp or jpg ?
20:52:23hardeepIt's certainly possible. You may want to make a feature request
20:53:38Mine78WOW !!! I WILL PUT IT RIGHT NOW !
20:54:02***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
20:54:33Mine78Another thing... will be possible to auto-format a .txt when showed without need scrolling left/right but only up/down ?
20:55:14hardeepYeah, word wrap is very desirable. I'm sure someone will add it well before the next release
20:55:23Mine78Shoul I put my request in NEW CODEC or in INTERFACE IMPROVEMENTS ?
20:55:53hardeepinterface improvements sounds more appropriate
20:56:21Mine78will be problematic to have an auto wrap text when changing font size ?
20:57:14hardeepFont size will have to be taken into consideration when implementing word wrap
20:57:28hardeepshouldn't be too problematic
20:59:46Mine78I put 2 requests: word wrap and graphic files... where can I find my requests and where can I find if they had been accepted/added ?
21:00
21:01:28hardeephttp://rockbox.haxx.se/requests.shtml
21:02:06Mine78Ah ok I saw... it took me some minutes to understand the "graphic" order
21:02:23Mine78but will be possible to show bmp or jpg on a player which don't have a graphic display ?
21:05:33hardeepNo, see Q40 on FAQ
21:06:33Mine78I made the question just after reading Q40...
21:06:47Mine78You are really polite thank u to answer my BORING questions
21:07:58Mine78A cool option could be the use of the SMALLEST MAME games to run into the recorder... do u think it will be possible to make an emulator for the archos ? I saw some portable cameras have it !
21:12:33hardeepI'm not all that familiar with MAME and what its requirements are
21:19:22Mine78It's open source, and have games (roms) very small... 4-8-16Kb
21:19:32Mine78Could be compatible with archos memory I suppose
21:19:46Mine78I told you there is a port of the emulator for digital cameras
21:19:52Mine78(i don't remeber the model)
21:31:15Mine78thank you so much
21:31:18Mine78good night
