03:00:21 | earHurts | what do you know about the battery? |
03:01:02 | BoD[] | it gives current to the unit |
03:01:29 | earHurts | what about the code that calcs the battery level? |
03:01:44 | BoD[] | :) I have no idea |
03:01:48 | BoD[] | what do you want to know |
03:02:10 | earHurts | it doesn't work as well as it could on the fm |
03:02:30 | earHurts | I want to understand why. |
03:02:44 | earHurts | is the volume linear? |
03:03:14 | BoD[] | it is probably because the fm battery is different |
03:03:27 | earHurts | yeah. |
03:03:33 | BoD[] | and i'm not sure the coders actually have the unit to test their code |
03:03:47 | earHurts | linus got an fm as a gift |
03:04:54 | BoD[] | yeah but the battery code was perhaps not made by linux |

03:35:30 | Nooby | Does the Archos function as an external drive |
03:35:48 | Nooby | Is mp3 play gapless |
03:36:22 | Nooby | Is anybody even here |
03:37:13 | BoD[] | oui |
03:37:35 | BoD[] | how long ... it doesn't depend on the rockbox or archos firmware |
03:37:49 | BoD[] | yes it works fine as an external drive |
03:38:12 | BoD[] | mp3 play is not gapless but i'm not really sure about this one :) |
03:38:41 | Nooby | cool |
03:38:57 | BoD[] | i mean |
03:39:02 | BoD[] | it has gaps :) |
03:39:07 | Nooby | I'm thinking of getting one of these used if I can find one |
03:39:07 | BoD[] | but sometimes no |
03:39:33 | BoD[] | if you can find a cheap recorder or fm i think it's worth it :) |
03:39:55 | Nooby | oh yeah, what kind of quality can it record to |
03:40:33 | Nooby | I heard vbr mp3; is that true |
03:40:43 | BoD[] | it records mp3 vbr up to 320 44100 |
03:41:01 | Nooby | and the quality is good? |
03:41:29 | BoD[] | well actually I only tried to record with the internal mic |
03:41:52 | BoD[] | so the quality was not very good :) it's only a small mic |
03:42:06 | BoD[] | but if you record with spdif i guess it's perfect |
03:42:19 | Nooby | what spdif |
03:42:26 | BoD[] | not "perfect" since it's mp3 but as good as any high bitrate mp3 |
03:42:53 | BoD[] | spdif? the digital plug |
03:43:00 | Nooby | line-in? |
03:43:10 | BoD[] | yes |
03:43:53 | BoD[] | there's a "normal" line in and a digital one |
03:44:29 | Nooby | that's good |
03:44:37 | BoD[] | yup |
03:45:19 | Nooby | is the sound quality good |
03:45:50 | BoD[] | yes |
03:46:09 | BoD[] | sometimes you can hear a low high pitch noise |
03:46:44 | BoD[] | it's when the hard drive works I think and/or other components |
03:46:59 | BoD[] | but it's very "low" ... some people don't notice it |
03:47:08 | Nooby | that's normal with all hard drive players I think |
03:47:19 | BoD[] | possible, i'm not sure |
03:49:02 | Nooby | and how big is the archos? Do you have the dimensions or pictures in comparison to some other player? |

10:28:33 | tracktheripper | heehee |

14:30:40 | hanzz | q: when rockbox refills the mp3 buffer from hd, it also saves playing status on the HD, does anyone know where that code is ? |
14:33:56 | | Join Zagor [242] (bjst@as9-5-6.k.s.bonet.se) |
14:59:52 | hanzz | another question : is there some counter in rockbox that keeps track of how many seconds it is on ? |
15:00 |
15:03:43 | Zagor | hanzz: yes, although it bugs a bit |
15:04:08 | Zagor | actually the "on" counter doesn't bug, but the "runtime" counter does slightly |
15:04:26 | hanzz | do you know where the on counter is defined ? |
15:04:48 | Zagor | the "on" counter is the clock tick, current_tick. it's defined in the kernel |
15:05:01 | Zagor | it increases 100 times/s |
15:05:51 | hanzz | ok, thanks |
15:11:22 | Zagor | use the HZ define to split it into seconds |
15:11:34 | Zagor | int seconds_on = current_tick / HZ; |

15:44:34 | hanzz | nice, it seems to work |
15:44:43 | Zagor | what are you working on? |
15:45:33 | hanzz | i'm logging the time and battery level to a file, so i can improve the battery status |
15:45:37 | Zagor | ah |
15:45:46 | hanzz | it is different for almost everyones batteries |
15:46:06 | Zagor | check out globlal_settings.runtime too. it keeps track of runtime since last charge. |
15:46:34 | hanzz | i now log the number of seconds since the last write to the log file |
15:46:43 | hanzz | should be enough |
15:46:57 | Zagor | but do you remember that across reboots? |
15:47:10 | hanzz | nope |
15:47:36 | hanzz | not yet |
15:48:01 | hanzz | but a reboot can be detected with initialization of a variable to a certain value |
15:49:05 | hanzz | i'll first let my archos run for a while, see what the data looks like |
15:52:52 | hanzz | so, now reboots can be detected. |
15:53:42 | hanzz | only have to write a (windows) program to update the table in powermgmt.c |
16:00 |
16:06:18 | *** | Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" |
16:11:58 | hanzz | ...or let rockbox itself update the table, so battery status would keep improving by itself (little farfetched though) |

16:43:04 | thu | hey |
16:43:12 | thu | I'm just leaving for a few days with my archos |
16:43:18 | thu | what can I turn off to get longer battery life? |
16:43:26 | thu | other than lcd backlight? |
16:43:36 | hardeep | the music? |
16:43:42 | Zagor | hehe |
16:44:12 | thu | other than that |
16:44:13 | hanzz | you could recode some things to lower bitrate.... |
16:44:23 | thu | heh too late for that |
16:44:31 | hanzz | that'll give only a few percent anyway |
16:44:51 | Zagor | thu: if it's a recorder, enable disk poweroff |
16:44:56 | thu | it is |
16:45:12 | thu | and I have it set but I found out that it seems to eat more battery than anything else |
16:45:16 | thu | powering off/on that is |
16:45:25 | thu | is it true? |
16:45:26 | hanzz | do not browse much, just play, hd activity matters a lot |
16:46:24 | thu | I see |
16:46:28 | thu | do the sound settings matter? |
16:46:31 | Zagor | no |
16:46:55 | thu | btw would it help if I could turn off the lcd totally when playing? |
16:47:01 | hanzz | hardly |
16:47:03 | thu | I know I can't but I'm just wonderin |
16:47:13 | thu | so I'm basically doomed, right? |
16:47:17 | Zagor | the lcd only draws 1 mA or so |
16:47:28 | thu | okay lemme make this short |
16:47:32 | Zagor | bring spare batteries and a charger |
16:47:34 | thu | is there any setting that would matter in the end? |
16:47:45 | hanzz | disk spindown time maybe |
16:47:47 | thu | what kind of batts does a recorder have? |
16:47:54 | thu | hanzz: what would be optimum? |
16:47:57 | thu | recorder fm that is |
16:48:22 | hanzz | if you're mainly playing, set it to a few seconds |
16:48:25 | Zagor | oh, then you're out of luck. those aren't replacable |
16:48:59 | thu | heh thought so |
16:49:18 | thu | okay.. thanks for the tips |
16:49:32 | thu | I'll try hard to stay off the buttons.. maybe that will save a few mins of batt life |
16:49:56 | hardeep | there might be some portable battery chargers that run off standard batteries... |
16:50:16 | hardeep | i have one for my pda and it's come in handy a few times |
16:50:20 | thu | heh.. maybe next time |
16:51:11 | hanzz | 6 1.5v volt batteries in series should be able to give you one or 2 hours extra |
16:51:22 | hanzz | (just connect to your charger input) |
16:51:37 | hanzz | but a lot of energy gets lost in the charger circuit |
16:52:16 | hardeep | are you going to a place with a lot of sun? http://www.solardyne.com/isporsolchar.html |
16:52:23 | hardeep | that's pretty cool |

17:26:10 | TBoy | it happens when it tries to convert the clR6x8.bdf file |
17:26:39 | TBoy | to be specific |
17:26:40 | TBoy | tools/convbdf -c -o /home/rockbox/sysfont.c fonts/clR6x8.bdf |

17:27:16 | TBoy | I just can't figure it out |
17:27:30 | TBoy | and Quel couldn't think of a solution |
17:27:49 | hardeep | that's the error when it can't find convbdf |
17:27:56 | hardeep | does it exist in the tools directory? |
17:28:01 | TBoy | but its there |
17:28:31 | hardeep | where are you building from? |
17:29:11 | TBoy | do you mean in what dir |
17:29:15 | hardeep | yeah |
17:29:28 | TBoy | its in home/rockbox |
17:29:58 | TBoy | i'm using windows, cygwin |
17:30:47 | hardeep | weird, doesn't build properly from root... create a 'build' directory and build from that |
17:30:52 | hardeep | for now |
17:31:19 | TBoy | ok |
17:31:20 | hardeep | so 1. mkdir build 2. cd build 3. ../tools/configure |
17:32:37 | TBoy | ok |
17:36:05 | TBoy | hmm still doesn't wirk |
17:36:39 | TBoy | wirk=work |
17:36:52 | hardeep | what happens now? |
17:36:58 | TBoy | the same thing |
17:37:55 | hardeep | you're building from home/rockbox/build ? |
17:38:26 | TBoy | yes |
17:38:42 | TBoy | then I tried what you told me |
17:38:47 | hardeep | and home/rockbox/tools/convbdf exists? |
17:39:07 | TBoy | yes convbdf.exe |
17:40:57 | hardeep | what's the convbdf command line now? |
17:41:06 | TBoy | ??? |
17:41:25 | hardeep | when you do a build... what's the line where convbdf is being called? |
17:41:54 | TBoy | tools/convbdf -c -o /build/sysfont.c fonts/clR6x8.bdf |
17:42:04 | TBoy | thats the one, righto? |
17:42:19 | hardeep | that means you're not building from rockbox/build |
17:42:43 | hardeep | it should be ../tools/confbdf ... |
17:43:01 | TBoy | hmm |
17:43:07 | TBoy | ok |
17:43:16 | TBoy | I try it again |
17:43:23 | hardeep | start with fresh source |
17:44:14 | TBoy | I appreciate you takin time to help me |
17:46:19 | TBoy | now I'm buildin in rockbox/build |
17:46:42 | TBoy | hmm |
17:46:48 | TBoy | still says |
17:46:49 | TBoy | tools/convbdf -c -o /rockbox/build/sysfont.c fonts/clR6x8.bdf |
17:47:22 | hardeep | where is the tools directory? rockbox/build/tools ? |
17:47:28 | TBoy | yes |
17:47:48 | hardeep | ah, heh... |
17:48:03 | TBoy | what |
17:48:15 | TBoy | sounds like you figured it out |
17:48:18 | TBoy | :D |
17:48:24 | hardeep | don't move everything into the build directory... |
17:48:36 | TBoy | but? |
17:49:54 | hardeep | follow the instructions here on how to build rockbox... see esp. where to create the build dir http://rockbox.haxx.se/docs/how_to_compile.html |
17:50:25 | hardeep | there's a bug in the Makefile... you can't build from root |
17:50:34 | TBoy | oh |
17:56:23 | TBoy | I used to be able to compile it |
17:56:42 | TBoy | and then I used the dir usr/local/rockbox |
18:00 |
18:00:12 | hardeep | okay, replace tools/configure with http://hardeeps.freeshell.org/patches/configure |
18:00:21 | hardeep | build from wherever you want |
18:01:08 | TBoy | hey thx man |
18:01:26 | TBoy | do you use windows |
18:01:40 | hardeep | yes, but this isn't a windows problem |
18:02:22 | TBoy | i know |
18:02:26 | TBoy | just wondering |

18:19:42 | franz | pretty new... like 20030623 |
18:20:05 | Zagor | food time |

18:23:27 | telliott | hardeep. is 030602-2113 the latest "dynamic playlist" version? |
18:24:01 | hardeep | telliott: uhm, i don't believe so. the latest version is always at hardeeps.freeshell.org/dynamic |
18:24:08 | hardeep | it's up to date with latest cvs |
18:24:15 | franz | btw - i saw a recorder20 lately in a shop here - they charge you 999$ AUD |
18:24:48 | hardeep | franz: fear, for a rec20? even with the exchange that's obscene |
18:25:08 | telliott | ok. I'll get the latest version. |
18:25:10 | hardeep | there selling for around $250 US nowadays |
18:25:26 | franz | 250 us - where? |
18:26:00 | hardeep | actually, amazon as it for $221.88 |
18:26:06 | hardeep | i'm sure you can find cheaper elsewhere |
18:26:37 | franz | i have it allready... baught it 1.5 years ago... 400Euro |
18:26:56 | hardeep | telliott: i haven't been sending mails to the mailing list but I've been keeping the patch up to date with latest cvs |

18:27:29 | hardeep | telliott: plus bug fixes... the SF site has more info |
18:28:16 | telliott | ok. Thanks for your help with the dynamic playlist feature. I love the ability to just toiss a few folders into the mix at random. |
18:28:23 | telliott | toss |
18:32:18 | hardeep | hopefully it gets into the mainline soon. :) |
18:33:49 | | Quit TBoy ("Bye guys") |
18:42:27 | telliott | Is it possible to insert the current file/folder into the dynamic playlist with a long-press on play? |
18:47:38 | hardeep | telliott: certainly possible, but probably won't happen. That was the original way I had implemented queuing but it had been changed to the current ON+PLAY method |
18:50:38 | telliott | What;s the problem with long-play? I like having the menu opeions in on-play also. |
18:53:50 | hardeep | telliott: Zagor didn't really like the idea of time-based button presses |
18:54:14 | hardeep | telliott: if you do want to see it, post it as a feature request if/when this patch goes in |
18:54:42 | telliott | ok. |
18:56:50 | telliott | I guess you had the best solution since "time-based button presses" can be confusing, especially on the go. |

21:00:30 | Hes | Ooooh! |
21:01:08 | Hes | Awesome. |
21:02:16 | Zagor | i wonder where we should put them all? |
21:02:27 | Hes | .rockbox/rocks/ ? |
21:02:39 | Hes | That sounds nice when you put it that way. |
21:02:43 | Zagor | until the .rockbox browser patch is merged, putting them in .rockbox means people will have to turn on "show files: all" to run plugins |
21:02:51 | Zagor | really nice path, yes :-) |
21:03:38 | Zagor | otoh, just adding plugin_load("/.rockbox/rocks/tetris.rock") in the menu isn't too hard... |
21:03:54 | Hes | I'd guess it would be nice to scan the rocks directory and put the items in the menu dynamically |
21:04:18 | Zagor | yes. there's a patch to do that for .wps, .cfg and fonts etc. so this will fit right in. |
21:04:59 | Hes | maybe the rocks could contain some "readable name" identifier |
21:05:14 | Hes | which could be used in the menu instead of the filename |
21:06:05 | Zagor | or we just force people to name the rocks properly :) |
21:06:25 | Hes | Yeah. Getting the case right for short strings seems a bit hard on FAT, though. |
21:07:06 | Zagor | i'm also envisioning some sort of plugin registry, for things like file viewers. |
21:07:36 | Zagor | so there's a "view" entry in the on+play menu, which will give you a list of available viewers to use |
21:07:47 | Zagor | hex, text, image, id3 or whatever |
21:10:27 | Hes | That would make sense. |
21:10:45 | Hes | Did I tell you that I'm happy with rockbox stability with motorcycle now? |
21:11:25 | Hes | I think the hard disk read error handling code is quite ok at the moment, I did some extensive motorcycle driving suit testing during the last couple weeks |
21:11:44 | Hes | Went to barcelona and back in a couple weeks, I think I had two playback stops while driving which were not due to dead batteries. |
21:11:50 | Zagor | interesting. i can't think of anything special we've done to it... |
21:12:08 | Hes | One recovered after some 10-20 seconds, the other was probably because of no keylock and the pause button got pressed, and before I stopped the idle timer shut it off. |
21:12:19 | Hes | Thought it might be my new driving suit has a better pocket 8-) |
21:12:36 | Zagor | hehe |
21:12:47 | Hes | But I doubt that. It's just so much better with my hard disk than last summer. |
21:13:13 | Hes | And this was _heavy_ testing at various speeds, day-long drives, 5500 km. |
21:13:38 | Hes | I'm running CVS-030401. |

21:48:50 | Lynx0 | I don't think there's any other device out there that lets you use custom fonts... |
21:50:04 | Lynx0 | Is there a way to check what's in the queue? |
21:50:04 | Zagor | hehe, no that's a rather uncommon feature. the 19 supported languages too, and the configurable wps |
21:50:25 | Zagor | not really. joining the developer list is the only real way. |
21:50:35 | Lynx0 | yes, I'll have to look into the wps config later on |
21:51:01 | Lynx0 | sorry, i meant the queue rockbox queue, on the player |
21:51:09 | Zagor | you can of course look in the feature request list (http://rockbox.haxx.se/requests.shtml). many of those will happen sooner or later. |
21:51:14 | Zagor | oh :-) |
21:51:22 | Zagor | no, you can't look in that yet |
21:51:57 | Zagor | i expect with plugins a playlist viewer/editor will not be long |
21:52:27 | Lynx0 | plugins? are they supported now, or is that a feature to be implemented? |
21:52:34 | Zagor | i'm working on it right now |
21:53:11 | Lynx0 | cool. I wish I knew more about this kind of stuff. |
21:53:30 | Zagor | it's never too late to learn... |
21:53:56 | Lynx0 | Yes, but there's also never enough time ;) |
21:54:03 | Zagor | hehe, true |
21:54:20 | | Nick [IDC]Dragon is now known as [IDC]Dragon|away (~idc-drago@pD951270B.dip.t-dialin.net) |
21:55:07 | Lynx0 | Does it matter if i keep the ajbrec.ajb file on the hd? Does take longer to boot if it has to load the firmware into rom? |
21:56:40 | Zagor | you have to keep it. it is loaded at every boot. |
21:57:31 | Lynx0 | Ah, I thought I read somewhere if it's not there the one in rom from last boot is used. |
21:58:06 | Zagor | yes, and the one in rom is archos' firmware. we never change the rom. |
21:58:53 | Lynx0 | Ok, that's how it works... |
21:58:59 | Zagor | yup |
21:59:47 | Zagor | there's an effort to explore the possibility of burning Rockbox into rom, but its only in the research stage yet |
22:00 |
22:00:56 | Lynx0 | So the rom can be changed without taking the thing apart? Is that what the official firmware updates do? |
22:02:42 | Zagor | no, the official updates use the same method we do: a file on disk |
22:03:00 | Zagor | it appears most units can be reflashed without taking it apart. not all though. |
22:06:25 | *** | Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" |
22:06:42 | Lynx0 | Man, if only the firmware coders from companys were this responsive ... and competent |
22:07:51 | Zagor | well to be fair we don't have to make a profit |
22:08:50 | Zagor | wormlet is now a plugin too |
22:09:02 | Lynx0 | ok, but still. Some devices barely work because of the firmware. Like my NEC DVD burner... |
22:09:21 | Lynx0 | Umm, so it's a seperate file? |
22:09:32 | Zagor | yeah, i know. there's a line where bad firmware becomes bad for your business. |
22:09:54 | Zagor | right. i'm picking off the games and demos right now, extracting them into separate files called "rocks" |
22:10:14 | Zagor | it's a word joke: a box of rocks = rockbox |
22:10:44 | Lynx0 | And it's just a really bad feeling sitting there with some expensive hardware, which could be better through a few hours / days of coding, but the company just doesn't bother |
22:11:11 | Lynx0 | Let me guess, the ending is *.roc ? ;) |
22:11:21 | Zagor | no, *.rock |
22:11:41 | Lynx0 | Even better :) |
22:12:11 | Zagor | 11K Jun 28 21:45 tetris.rock |
22:12:16 | Zagor | 7.6K Jun 28 22:05 wormlet.rock |
22:13:08 | Lynx0 | With plugin support all kinds of features are probably going to appear. |
22:13:29 | Zagor | yeah, hopefully |
22:13:33 | Lynx0 | Is it known how widespread the studio/recorders are? |
22:13:50 | Zagor | not in exact numbers, but they are fairly common |
22:19:22 | Lynx0 | Well, thanks a lot! |

22:21:46 | Zagor | cool |
22:22:09 | Hes | they like the browsing interface but don't do enough unix to upload/rescale/edit php browser's config files 8-) |
22:22:56 | Zagor | get new friends ;-P |

22:50:50 | Lynx0 | hi again... |
22:50:59 | Lynx0 | I have another question :) |
22:51:29 | Lynx0 | What's this remote that's mentioned on the website? |
22:51:57 | Zagor | nooby: not that i know of |
22:52:16 | Zagor | Lynx0: it's a wired remote that goes between your headphones and the archos |
22:52:27 | Zagor | for players/recorders only. not fm recorder. |
22:52:40 | | Nick [IDC]Dragon|away is now known as [IDC]Dragon (~idc-drago@pD951270B.dip.t-dialin.net) |
22:52:49 | Lynx0 | Is it available from archos? |
22:52:58 | Zagor | yes, in their travel kit |
22:54:01 | Lynx0 | 35 euro? Hmm, thats a lot... |
22:54:20 | Zagor | yeah, they bundle it with a lot of gunk that few people want... |
22:54:41 | Lynx0 | Yes...damn, the remote would be really cool. I already missed that. |
22:56:57 | nooby | zagor:You're one of the main developers right? |
22:57:03 | Zagor | yes |
22:57:25 | nooby | what new features are you guys working on, i'm just curious |
22:57:45 | Zagor | i'm writing a plugin loading system right now |
22:58:17 | nooby | what would that be good for? |
22:59:12 | Zagor | it means all the extras such as games and demos etc will not take up space in ram but instead be loaded on demand |
22:59:26 | nooby | cool |
23:00 |
23:00:04 | Zagor | it also means people can write stuff for rockbox more easily. you don't have to wait for us to merge it into the main rockbox source. |
23:00:18 | nooby | do you think there will ever be any support for any other codecs other than mp3? |
23:00:28 | Lynx0 | now the whole thing always goes into ram, right? |
23:01:40 | Zagor | yes |
23:01:44 | Zagor | nooby: no |
23:02:21 | Lynx0 | is the ram for the firmware the same, the 2 mb that are used for buffering? |
23:02:29 | Zagor | yes |
23:03:13 | Lynx0 | so, it would theoretically be possible to use 1 mb ram, althought battery life would go down by half? |
23:03:26 | Zagor | Lynx0: exactly |
23:03:55 | Lynx0 | how much ram does the current version use? |
23:04:06 | nooby | but if you do that 8mb ram upgrade, how much extra battery life do you get |
23:04:41 | Zagor | about 30% extra is what I've heard |
23:05:12 | Zagor | or maybe it was a bit more, but as far as I remember it didn't even double the time |
23:05:26 | Zagor | i haven't tried it myself |
23:06:16 | Lynx0 | 10 hours is enough for me, I think. |

23:14:39 | [IDC]Dragon | Any MAS expert around? |
23:14:48 | Zagor | i need linus' gdb-enabled recorder... |
23:15:03 | [IDC]Dragon | I have one. |
23:15:24 | Zagor | feel like helping find a plugin problem? |
23:15:55 | Triple-z | anyone know if there is a cue file support in the future? |
23:16:04 | [IDC]Dragon | Dunno if I can, gdb is unreliable for me under Windows. |
23:16:10 | Zagor | ok |
23:16:20 | Zagor | Triple-z: only if someone writes it :-) |
23:16:24 | [IDC]Dragon | What do you wanna test? |
23:17:07 | Zagor | i have a very wierd problem: in wormlet, the text is shown on the first screen (pre-play) but not on the second screen (in game) |
23:17:18 | Zagor | it's the same function |
23:17:31 | [IDC]Dragon | How could I help? |
23:17:59 | Zagor | setting a breakpoint at the address of the call and see what is passed to it |
23:18:17 | [IDC]Dragon | OK, can try that. |
23:18:27 | Zagor | ok, i'll fix a tarball |
23:18:38 | [IDC]Dragon | Is there a way to disable much of those traces? |
23:19:02 | | Part Triple-z |
23:19:02 | [IDC]Dragon | That seems to flood gdb under Windows. |
23:19:35 | Zagor | yes, comment out DEBUGF and LDEBUGF in firmware/export/debug.h |
23:22:35 | nooby | in what language (c, c++) is rockbox compiled under |
23:22:49 | Zagor | nooby: mostly c with some parts in assembler |
23:26:17 | nooby | thanks |

23:28:24 | Zagor | [IDC]Dragon: http://rockbox.haxx.se/test/plugintest.tar.gz |
23:29:33 | Zagor | build it from your normal build dir, copy the .ajz and the .rock files to your archos. |
23:29:36 | [IDC]Dragon | Got it. |
23:29:54 | [IDC]Dragon | Is it a debug build? |
23:30:16 | Zagor | boot the new ajz and select tetris.rock, then ^C your gdb and set a breakpoint on lcd_puts. then continue gdb and press play on the archos |
23:30:38 | Zagor | it's a source tree, just apps and firmware |
23:30:59 | Zagor | make a new build dir as normal |
23:32:57 | [IDC]Dragon | OK, please standby... |
23:35:27 | [IDC]Dragon | Should I configure the makefile for games and demos? (need some space for debug build) |
23:35:40 | Zagor | no you can skip those |
23:38:45 | [IDC]Dragon | I get a build error in the plugin dir |

23:44:55 | [IDC]Dragon | how about a package including your object code? |
23:45:01 | Zagor | ok |
23:47:56 | Zagor | ah, found the error. in apps/Makefile the rocks: target has a command line which include $(DEBUG) alone. it should be: DEBUG=$(DEBUG) |
