00:33:54Godzukihey rockbox dev guys, I love you.
00:34:01midknight2k3hi
00:34:09midknight2k3sry missed you before
00:34:18Godzukinaw, I wasn't sure if it was working
00:34:24GodzukiI was using that silly javascript client
00:34:29midknight2k3eew
00:34:31Godzukiit was throwing errors of some kind
00:34:38Godzukiso I broke down and dug my copy of mirc
00:34:41midknight2k3oh, registration ones
00:34:45Godzukiyes
00:35:00GodzukiI don't really care to register myself, I don't think I'll be here much
00:35:22GodzukiI have a question about the batteries, please don't kill me
00:35:30midknight2k3np
00:35:48GodzukiI bought one of these v2 20 gigs off amazon, and it claims to have nimh batteries
00:36:02midknight2k3lithium ion
00:36:08Godzukinow, everyone I know with a v2 claims they have lithium ion
00:36:16midknight2k3they do
00:36:19Godzukibut it SAYS on my box, and manual, that's it's nimh
00:36:25Godzukiis that a dirty lie?
00:36:44midknight2k3yes
00:36:56midknight2k3it's possible they used the old recorder box
00:36:56GodzukiI believe this version may perhaps be different. it was really cheap, and it seems to be some weird edition
00:37:16GodzukiI was just gonna pop it open, I just wanted to make sure I have a reason to.
00:37:43midknight2k3well, what would make a reason? me telling you they are LiIon?
00:38:00Godzukia reason to NOT would be you telling me they could easily be nimh
00:38:15Godzukibut now I'm just gonna go ahead then.
00:38:25midknight2k3nope, lithium ion
00:38:36 Quit silencer ("leaving")
00:38:46Godzukiand, on a side note, my 2.1 v2 firmware seems to be lacking file naming options, and battery charging options
00:38:54GodzukiI couldn't find details about it on the sight.
00:38:58Godzukisite
00:39:19midknight2k3on+play is rename
00:39:24midknight2k3and there are no charging options
00:39:27Godzukiahhh.
00:39:31Godzukiohhh...
00:39:41Godzukihave they been removed?
00:40:02midknight2k3no
00:40:04midknight2k3never there
00:40:06midknight2k3for V2s
00:40:22Godzukiwell then. thank you very much
00:40:25Godzukiare they going to be?
00:41:57midknight2k3no, sorry
00:42:02midknight2k3not possible, or they'd be there
00:42:46Godzukiany special charging precautions I should take then? I'm pretty clueless about the different rechargeable batteries.
00:42:56midknight2k3not really
00:42:59midknight2k3charge it fully at first
00:43:02midknight2k3that's about all
00:43:37Godzukiactually, I lied, I have one more question
00:43:55Godzukiwill the rvf files ever support sound? or is it too much for the proc?
00:43:56midknight2k3sure
00:44:00midknight2k3already do
00:44:05Godzukihuh.
00:44:09GodzukiI made a few, none of them did.
00:44:16midknight2k3you need to add it in manually
00:44:22midknight2k3save your sound as an MP3 file
00:44:46midknight2k3then call "rvf_mux.exe rvfinput.rvf mp3input.mp3 rvfoutput.rvf"
00:45:09midknight2k3takes arg #1 and #2 and mixes them into #3
00:45:30Godzukiwill it whine at me if the mp3 length isn't the same as the video?
00:45:39Godzukithis could lead to some easy hilarity.
00:45:40midknight2k3possibly
00:45:46midknight2k3lol
00:46:27Godzukiok, well, thank you much.
00:46:37Godzukisorry for asking dumb questions
00:46:45GodzukiI hope there isn't some FAQ somewhere that I missed
00:47:02Godzukisome of the stuff is out of date and I don't know what to believe...

10:32:22[IDC]Dragonhave the impression that the docs are the missing piece
10:32:56***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
10:33:36[IDC]DragonBTW, good morning!
10:34:44[IDC]DragonLinusN, are you there?
10:38:38dwihnoHiya Jörg
10:39:04[IDC]Dragonhi!
10:39:05mattzz[IDC]Dragon: just flashed the new firmware on my jbr20, booting takes 4 secs again. need any debug info?
10:39:20[IDC]Dragonno, it's OK if it works.
10:39:31mattzz[IDC]Dragon: btw, still sick at home?
10:39:43[IDC]Dragonyes :(
10:39:48mattzzgute besserung!
10:39:55[IDC]Dragonthanks!
10:40:23[IDC]Dragondo you happen to have a slave disk (unlikely)?
10:41:20mattzzata 0x200, master
10:41:46LinusNhelo
10:41:54dwihnoCan't be that many who has the disk attached as slave.
10:42:36[IDC]Dragonyea, but some are reported to have that stupid scenario.
10:43:05[IDC]DragonI tested slave yesterday, works for me, but field tests are a different story.
10:43:44[IDC]DragonLinusN: I saw from the log that Jens found a better CPU mode for the DRAM?
10:46:34LinusNyeah, he discovered that the static column mode wasn't enabled
10:47:24[IDC]Dragonshould we do so?
10:48:21LinusNindeed
10:48:29LinusNafter 2.2
10:48:51[IDC]Dragonno more last-minute fixes?
10:49:00LinusNfixes, yes
10:49:46[IDC]Dragonwould be something for the bootloader as well
10:50:15[IDC]Dragon(faster way to the Rockbox logo)
10:50:26[IDC]Dragonand longer wait for the disk ;)
10:50:30LinusNsure

10:50:54[IDC]Dragonstrange that Archos is not using that mode

11:01:13[IDC]Dragonlet me guess: after 2.2
11:03:02LinusNpreferrably before
11:03:08LinusNany ideas?
11:03:21LinusNon+play seems natural, but still not
11:04:17[IDC]Dragonif in main, then before "Info"
11:04:44[IDC]Dragonwe don't have a real suitable submenu for it

11:11:33Quelsaruktired mornings
11:14:13mattzzI understood on+play as something like a "file-menu". It is definitively not a file action on the selected file, but it is the place where I would expect it.
11:15:03mattzzbtw, is there a function as move file
11:15:04mattzz?
11:15:34[IDC]Dragonno
11:16:22LinusNthe problem today is that the on+play function is designed to work on a selected file
11:16:56LinusNand it malfunctions when called in an empty dir
11:17:29dwihnoI think the sound menu should be topmost (and not bookmark)
11:17:48mattzzwhat happen in case of malfunction?
11:17:54mattzzs/happen/happens/
11:18:52LinusNmattzz: the "selected file" is taken from old buffer contents
11:19:02LinusNcould be anything
11:19:28LinusNdwihno: an audio book listener may disagree with you
11:20:07dwihnoLinusN: How about the Grand Masses? :)
11:20:43Quelsarukwhy not alphabetical order?
11:20:43mattzzLinusN: what I understood so far is, that due to a bug in on+play we are going to mess with the menu structure?
11:21:06Quelsarukare we going to change the menu structure??
11:21:23mattzzQuelsaruk: talking about "create dir"
11:21:51Quelsarukmattzz, ah! thx :)
11:21:52LinusNmattzz: kind of, yes
11:22:17LinusNwe could redesign the on+play code
11:22:24mattzzLinusN: hm, what do you think of the on-play bug priority?
11:22:34LinusNi just didn't feel like doing that when i added the createdir function
11:22:59LinusNtechnically, it isn't a bug in on+play
11:23:54LinusNon+play works on the current selected file, and if no file is selected, it ignores the on+play keypress
11:24:05LinusNso nothing bad can happen
11:24:24LinusNhowever, that means that the createdir function can't be placed there
11:24:39LinusNbecause you will want to create a dir in an empty directory
11:25:06mattzzbut we _could_ enter the file menu with on+play and no selected file with the option "create dir", couldn't we?
11:25:16c0uttasounds like a good idea for the f2 menu :)
11:26:08LinusNmattzz: yes, but then the createdir function wouldn't know where to create the directory, because the path information is in the selected file
11:26:26mattzzhm
11:26:35LinusNit is purely a coding issue
11:26:46Quelsarukcoudln't we enter then the browser and tell the function where to create it?
11:27:08LinusNif we redesign the on+play code, it will work
11:27:45mattzzI think we should keep all file/dir opererations in one place
11:27:55*LinusN just had an idea
11:28:09c0uttawhat about a "file menu" with rename, delete, create dir, etc in it ?
11:28:38*LinusN will fix the on+play issue
11:28:53mattzzapplause :)
11:28:54c0uttai know that rename/delete would be superfluous, but it'd be consistent
11:30:21QuelsarukLinusN, how?
11:30:54LinusNi'll let onplay() know that there is no file selected
11:32:39Quelsaruk(OFFTOPIC: just if someone wants to know, today there was a terrorist act in Madrid, about 130 innocents killed :(
11:32:47LinusNouch
11:35:00Quelsaruki love my country...
11:35:12Quelsaruk(ironic mode off)
11:35:53QuelsarukLinusN, have you seen the code?
11:38:00LinusNnot yet, sorry
11:38:51Quelsarukdon't worry
11:40:12Quelsaruklet's say that i have a long weekend, but i have to calculate the metallic structure of an industrial building, so that's in a second place :)
11:48:51*LinusN has moved Create Directory to on+play
11:49:16dwihnoLinusN: Are you an audio book listener? :)
11:49:21LinusNnope
11:49:38*dwihno tries to convince Linus to switch the audio/bookmark settings
11:52:21LinusNcommitted
11:52:26[IDC]Dragonnot wanting to start the menu order discussion again, but I also think that bookmarks as the first is unusual.
11:52:41LinusNi agree
11:52:57c0uttaif only zagor had allowed me to commit my user defined F1 menu :(
11:53:05[IDC]Dragonsound setting and recording at the top positions sounds natural to me
11:53:06*mattzz agrees also
11:53:09c0uttayou wouldn't be having this discussion
11:53:20[IDC]Dragongeneral settings could be further down
11:53:42LinusNsome people want recording way down the list
11:54:12[IDC]DragonI also don't record, but it's a recorder after all.
11:54:30LinusNboy, will people hang us for not having a Delete Directory option :-)
11:54:55[IDC]Dragonit was requested already, yes.
11:54:57LinusNi think people fiddle with the general settings a lot more often than we think
11:55:36LinusNstill, i think settings should be the last option(s)
11:56:59mattzzHow about ordering in a way most applications do - such as "file, edit, view, go, bookmarks, tools, help" for example (just looking at mozilla....)

21:53:58[IDC]Dragonback to myself
21:55:10amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Just got an idea how to save 4 bytes in bitswap (no speedup though).
21:55:36[IDC]Dragondon't push it too hard
21:56:04amiconnIt's easy, and it saves a bit your precios IRAM.
21:56:17[IDC]DragonIRAM is not _that_ precious
21:57:17[IDC]Dragonbut we take freebies
21:58:54amiconnBasic idea: Let r7 and r0 swap roles, so that r0 addresses the fliptable. Then we can use "mova" and get rid of the extra longword that stores the filptable address.
22:00
22:01:35[IDC]Dragonyou don't need any "special features" of r0 elsewhere?
22:02:49amiconnOk, forget it. Just saw that I use immediate offset addressing later, which needs r0.
22:04:49[IDC]Dragonthis sign extension of 16/8 bit data is a stupid feature
22:05:38amiconnDamn, Hitachi says that there are 16 general purpose registers, why are some of them still special (esp. r0)
22:06:03[IDC]Dragonsome are more equal...

22:08:24[IDC]Dragondo we need a dedicated "add" for the loop?
22:08:43[IDC]Dragon(just thinking about your trick)
22:09:32amiconnIn the case of bitswap: yes :(
22:10:36amiconnSH only does post-increment when reading from memory, with writing only pre-decrement is possible.
22:11:17[IDC]Dragoncan it write with a -2 offset?
22:11:55amiconnAs we read _and_ write in the loop, we must adjust for either of it with using offset addressing. Unfortunately, immediate offset is unsigned, so it cannot be -2.
22:12:45ofir_d1im sorry for this question but, where do i find how to install the rockbox?

22:13:48ofir_d1tnx
22:14:30amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Furthermore, r0 is also taken, so we cannot use it as offset.

22:16:44amiconnHi!
22:16:47[IDC]DragonHi
22:17:51amiconnA question: If I want to introduce a new source file, what do I have to change within the makefile (don't know much about make yet)?
22:18:23[IDC]Dragonnormally nothing, if the directory already exists
22:18:34[IDC]Dragonthe make compiles *.c
22:20:22amiconnDirectory exists, but it will be an assembler file. My idea is to optimize the disk writing also (not the turbo version as there is much less writing than reading) and to separate these loops into ata-transfer.S
22:20:55[IDC]Dragonyes, you can do so.
22:21:00 Quit methangas (" HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- s0 d4Mn l33t |t'z 5c4rY!")
22:21:21[IDC]Dragon.S files are way better readable than the inline
22:22:03amiconnThen I will have to declare the function as "external" in ata.c and the ata-transfer.S will be compiled automagically?
22:22:34[IDC]DragonIIRC, yes. And you need to export it from your .S
22:23:48amiconnWill check this. First I will have a look at memcpy/memset
22:25:52amiconnAnother question: From several .S files i guessed that function parameters are passed in r4 (, r5, r6 etc.) and r0-r7 are freely usable without preservation. Am I correct?
22:26:38[IDC]Dragonabout the trashing I don't know.
22:26:53[IDC]Dragonarguments from r4 on, yes.
22:27:06[IDC]Dragonreturn is r0, if not void
22:28:30amiconnDidn't find any documentation on this.. The trashing "rules" I guessed from the old descramble.S. It uses up to r9 and only saves r8 and r9.
22:28:40[IDC]DragonI didn't dare to optimize the ATA write, because that's dangerous
22:29:06[IDC]Dragonsorry for topic jump
22:31:25amiconnI wouldn't say it's dangerous, now that I'm quite sure that there is nothing wrong with the transfers. You just must'n put a typo in. In addition, I have a full backup of my disk, and it's USB2.0.
22:33:12***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
22:36:01[IDC]DragonI love typos, and it took me some tries for the read function
22:36:28[IDC]Dragonso I was saving this for when I have a spare disk
22:38:14amiconnFor memcpy/memset: These are .c files atm. How do I tell "make" to use .S variants instead?
22:39:39amiconnIn addition: is memcmp also worth tackling?
22:40:21amiconnAnd at last: Do we have to retain a .c version for building the simulator?
22:43:20[IDC]Dragonno, it's a library function then
22:45:03[IDC]Dragonseems like memcmp() is barely used at all

22:46:37[IDC]Dragonto replace the .c by .S: you'd have to remove the .c

22:56:09[IDC]Dragonit's quite big, that I don't like
22:57:24[IDC]Dragonthe whole thing is in IRAM, not just the copy loops
22:59:36amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Ok, will ask Linus first. I thought of optimizing the 2 read loops only, that's not that big (lines 512-564). Perhaps we can take the other stuff out of IRAM.
23:00
23:00:05[IDC]DragonThat's how I did for the sector read, too.
23:00:43[IDC]Dragonbefore they had a larger function in IRAM, most of the code was no loop at all.
23:01:58amiconnThe 2 read loop could possibly be combined into one, since the _only_ difference is the different polarity. Thought of using XOR here.
23:02:20[IDC]Dragonyes, that once also occurred to me.
23:02:42[IDC]Dragonand you can make a function from the rest
23:02:55[IDC]Dragonto be called from the IRAM part

23:03:19[IDC]Dragonthis way, we have the call overhead after satisfying the buffer
23:04:17[IDC]Dragonno new latency
23:13:19amiconnThere is another function in mpeg.c that uses if(inverted_pr) ... else ... - drain_dma_buffer()
23:14:20amiconnIn order to test these modifications we would need recorders with different polarities.
23:14:40[IDC]Dragonseems to do the same, but discards the data
23:16:44amiconnThis doesn't have to be asm optimized, but using XOR should make it shorter. Of course, if we use XOR, we have to set a defined initial state. Could do this in mpeg_init() directly and discard the variable, since it isn't used elsewhere.
