04:25:07Guest1Hello
04:25:37Guest1Does anyone know how to clear directory buffer...
04:26:08Guest1my jukebox wont allow me to create any directories
04:30:42hardeepGuest1: what happens when you try to create a directory?
04:44:21Guest1It creates the directory and shows in windows file explorer
04:44:30Guest1but not in the archos display
04:44:35Guest1it does not appear
04:45:54hardeepGuest1: do you see any errors on rockbox? such as dir buffer full?
04:46:22Guest1Yes: it says that exact message upon startup
04:46:29elinenbeGuest1: make sure you do a "safe remove" of the archos after you create the directory too... right click the "hardware" icon in the system tray and safe remove the jukebox
04:46:46elinenbeGuest1: increase the dir buffer in rockbox settings, and then reboot
04:46:50elinenberockbox.
04:47:48Guest1elinenbe: how can i get to these settings?

06:33:06BlueChipLinusN: early start
06:33:12LinusNditto
06:33:26BlueChipJUST finished getting the new devkit going :)
06:33:36LinusNalready? :-)
06:33:46BlueChip :)
06:33:56BlueChipthanks for all your help
06:34:11BlueChipgotta find a way to report that site to cygwin
06:34:12LinusNyou're welcome
06:34:58BlueChipnow to try cvs :)
06:35:08BlueChipagain
06:35:10BlueChiplol
06:36:02LinusNwant me to walk you through it?
06:36:42BlueChipThat'd be great if you have the time - I will need to copy the files over as I go, so I may be a little slow at this end
06:37:06[IDC]Dragon'morning guys
06:37:18BlueChipmornin' [IDC]Dragon
06:37:49LinusNBlueChip: whenever you're ready
06:38:07BlueChipawaiting your words of wisdom... :)
06:38:16[IDC]DragonLinusN: I have the new settings stuff coded now, saves >7KB
06:40:04LinusNcan i review the patch?
06:40:16[IDC]DragonI'd love to
06:40:16LinusNBlueChip: have you installed cvs?
06:40:32BlueChipi can type cvs without errors now
06:40:43BlueChipnot sure if prams will require more files though
06:40:45[IDC]Dragon;-)
06:40:46LinusNwow! three letter without errors! :-)
06:40:55BlueChipthree files required ;)
06:41:08BlueChiplol
06:41:35BlueChipi tend to introduce bugs around 5 or 6 characters, so I tend to play it on the safe side
06:41:38*LinusN cut his index finger yesterday, so his typing is lousy :-)
06:41:46BlueChipouch
06:41:49*[IDC]Dragon is emailing the new code to LinusN
06:42:06LinusNthe index finger is also my typing finger :-)
06:42:19BlueChiplol ...in the singular
06:42:49BlueChipwill I need to create a .cvspass file
06:42:54[IDC]Dragonhow do you shift then?
06:42:55LinusNwell, do you know the basic concepts behind cvs? have you worked with other version control systems?
06:43:21BlueChipsadly the thing I used at my last company was a weird in-house thing
06:43:35[IDC]DragonLinusN: code is on the way
06:43:52BlueChip...knocked up one lunchtime - judging by the interface
06:44:03LinusN[IDC]Dragon: gr8
06:44:39LinusNok, BlueChip, the cvs server keeps a Repository, where all the files reside
06:44:51BlueChipok
06:45:07LinusNthey are divided into groups, called Modules
06:45:12BlueChipok
06:45:24BlueChipI read about those on the rockbox page
06:45:32LinusNin Rockbox, "apps" is one module, "firmware" is one etc
06:46:05LinusNwe have also grouped several modules together in larger, virtual modules
06:46:11BlueChipyep
06:46:12[IDC]Dragonyou guys go ahead, I'll check back in a few minutes then (would like to discuss a few things about the settings with Linus)
06:46:13LinusNrockbox, rockbox-all etc
06:46:25BlueChipi presume these files are progrssive diff files (for lack of the correct term)
06:46:42BlueChip*progressive
06:47:14LinusNwhen you check out a module, all files are copied to your file system, along with some CVS special stuff, in a dir called CVS
06:47:50BlueChipwill this update existing files, or replace them?
06:48:08LinusNone of the key points is: everything in CVS is about diffs
06:48:16BlueChipcool
06:48:38LinusNlet's get some hands-on experience
06:48:42BlueChipgo
06:49:14*BlueChip is waiting in /home/rockbox
06:49:31LinusNwhat is in /home/rockbox ?
06:49:48BlueChipa single tarball ...and a single dir of that tarball with a patch applied
06:49:58LinusN"rockbox" is your cygwin user?
06:50:08BlueChipsorry, yes
06:50:17BlueChip(there is also the patch file in that dir)
06:50:32LinusNok let's start with checking out the "rockbox" module
06:50:54LinusNthat will create a directory with the same name as the module, in this case "rockbox"
06:50:55BlueChipok
06:51:17BlueChipwhere is it standard to keep this directory?
06:51:26BlueChip(on my machine)
06:51:31LinusNcvs -d:pserver:anonymous@rockbox.haxx.se:/cvsroot/rockbox co rockbox
06:51:53LinusNit's ok to have it anywhere, i have it in my home dir
06:53:14BlueChipworking...
06:54:06BlueChipthe dir name will always be the same as the package yes?
06:54:20BlueChipdone
06:54:24LinusNyes
06:54:26LinusNok
06:55:33LinusNopen apps/main.c in your favourite editor
06:55:49BlueChipyep
06:56:22LinusNremove the sleep(HZ/2) in init()
06:56:42BlueChipdone
06:56:42LinusNand save the file
06:56:45BlueChipdone
06:57:11LinusNok, now cd to rockbox
06:57:22BlueChipyep
06:57:38LinusNand do "cvs diff -u apps/main.c"
06:58:19BlueChipwhoops - my editor has trimmed all the trailing spaces
06:58:32LinusNnaugthy editor
06:58:54BlueChipthey'll add "ignore trailing whitespace" to diff one day
06:59:13BlueChipshould I redo the edit, or continue with a big diff
06:59:53LinusNlet's continue
07:00
07:00:20BlueChipok... I presume it is easy to replace that file from cvs
07:00:35LinusNlet's do that
07:00:39BlueChipcool
07:00:42LinusNdelete the file
07:00:52BlueChipdone
07:00:58LinusNcvs up -dP
07:01:08BlueChipfrom which dir?
07:01:11LinusN"up" is short for "update"
07:01:32LinusNas long as you are above or in the apps dir, you're fine
07:01:40BlueChipgreat
07:01:49LinusNas long as you are in the repository, that is
07:02:23BlueChipgreat, although I can now see a complaint about "missing .cvspass"
07:02:53LinusNtry this: "touch ~/.cvspass"
07:03:50BlueChipgreat - complaint gone :)
07:04:13LinusN("touch" creates an empty file)
07:04:40BlueChip(yes, i noticed, clever, much cleaner than "copy con")
07:04:41LinusN(or updates the modified date if the file exists)
07:05:37LinusNok, did you notice the "U" before the file name in the cvs output?
07:06:40BlueChipsorry, lost it off the screen now :(
07:06:58LinusNU == "Updated"
07:07:17LinusNok, edit the file again
07:07:31BlueChipRight. I must say the output seemed quite clear that it had noticed the missing main.c and replaced it
07:07:42BlueChipfile edited
07:07:51LinusNdo the update again
07:08:08BlueChipthe update, not the diff
07:08:21LinusNyes
07:08:32BlueChip"M" this time
07:08:34LinusNnotice the "M" in front of the file name
07:08:36LinusNyes
07:08:40LinusNM = Merged
07:08:47LinusNhere's the beauty of cvs
07:09:25LinusNthe update procedure merges your files with the repository
07:09:44LinusNor "patches" if you like
07:10:06LinusNyour changes are always intact
07:10:31BlueChipbloody impressive - so how did it know not to add that sleep() back in again?
07:10:56LinusNit sees that your file differs from the repo
07:11:06LinusNand your edits have precedence
07:12:04LinusNwhat it does is that it creates a patch from the differences between the file version you have edited and the file version on the server, and then it applies that patch on your file
07:12:54LinusNnow if someone has changed exactly that line and committed that change, there will be a conflict
07:13:45BlueChipright, so i will get a diff file to apply by hand?
07:14:19LinusNthe update procedure puts markers in the file, showing the conflict
07:14:32LinusNand you will have a "C" in front of the file name
07:14:42BlueChipvey nice
07:14:50LinusNlet's leave the conflict for now
07:14:57BlueChipok
07:15:48LinusNthis is basically it, the "update" procedure patches your repository with the latest changes on the server
07:16:20LinusNso you can happily edit your files, and do "update" every once in a while to keep up with the latest changes
07:16:33BlueChipi think I am confused only on one point, and that is technical rather than of useage
07:16:39LinusNshoot
07:17:07BlueChiphow does it know that my file is lacking a line and not be confused with the cvs has a line added - i get the feeling there could be a timing issue at hand?
07:18:43LinusNit keeps track of which version of the file that is in your repository
07:18:56BlueChipaha! of course ...the CVS directory ;)
07:18:59LinusNin this case, 1.86
07:19:31LinusNapps/CVS/Entries
07:19:41BlueChipGreat, I presume conflicts are marked with #error or similar?
07:19:56LinusNit's something like:
07:20:02LinusN<<<< 1.86
07:20:04LinusNbla bla
07:20:22LinusN−−−− main.c
07:20:24LinusNblo blo
07:20:25LinusN>>>>>
07:20:49LinusNand you have to manually select which part you want
07:21:00BlueChipcool - so it will throw nice compiler errors if I miss it during the update :)
07:21:06LinusNexactly
07:21:24LinusNlet's edit another file, tree.c
07:21:39BlueChipok
07:21:55LinusNremove the ".mpa" file type on line 76
07:22:07BlueChipdone
07:22:18LinusNgo to the "rockbox" dir
07:22:33BlueChipyep
07:22:35LinusNlet's create a patch
07:22:55LinusNcvs diff -u
07:23:04 Quit silencer (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
07:23:07BlueChip(ahhh, this is the stuff - a standardised patch)
07:23:08LinusNyou will see both changes

07:23:38LinusNcvs diff -u > mypatch.patch
07:23:46LinusN*bing*
07:24:41BlueChipunusual looking patch - that will apply okay with patch.exe ?
07:24:50LinusNunusual?
07:25:01BlueChipdifferent from those I have made in the past
07:25:10BlueChip....goes hunting
07:25:48LinusNthere are a few different formats for patches
07:25:58LinusNthis is the "Unified" patch format
07:26:16BlueChipthis one has all the files underlined with "="s which I think is the most notable change
07:26:35BlueChipalso has "? filename.pat" as the first line
07:27:04LinusNit actually ignores lots of that info
07:27:24BlueChipyes, I guess so, it just makes the file look quite different ...more readable
07:27:39LinusNok, remove main.c and tree.c and update again
07:28:36BlueChipU main & tree .... ?patch.pat :)
07:29:09 Join adi|home [0] (~adi|home@as5300-9.216-194-23-57.nyc.ny.metconnect.net)
07:29:46BlueChipWell, that all seems pretty straight forward :) ....is that it, or are there more surprises in store?
07:30:57LinusNpatch -p0 < mypatch.patch
07:31:25LinusNand you're back!
07:31:34BlueChipblinding ! :)
07:32:07LinusNas you may have noticed, the uisimulator module is not part of the "rockbox" module
07:32:46LinusNso, in the "rockbox" dir, do "cvs co uisimulator"
07:33:47BlueChipgreat
07:33:56LinusNthat's basically iy
07:33:59LinusNit
07:34:30BlueChipcool - Linus, I owe you a large beer for that help - I have wasted hours trying to suss that in the past ....I will play for a bit and write up our conversation as an edited transcript
07:34:50LinusNglad to help
07:34:59BlueChipThank You
07:35:15LinusN[IDC]Dragon: you're next :-)
07:35:22[IDC]Dragon#2
07:35:27*BlueChip goes off to play with his new knowledge
07:35:35 Join Nibbler [0] (nibbler@port-212-202-78-119.dynamic.qsc.de)
07:35:48[IDC]Dragongot the code?
07:36:03LinusNBlueChip: feel free to add a CVSForDummies in the Wiki
07:36:23LinusN[IDC]Dragon: yes
07:37:15[IDC]Dragondo you want to comment on it, or should I jump in some details?
07:37:15LinusNit looks much like i had in mind myself
07:37:33[IDC]Dragonah, good sync
07:38:31[IDC]Dragonthe focal point is the two tables, rtc_bits and hd_bits
07:38:41LinusNit will perhaps raise the bar a little for those who want to add options
07:39:02LinusNbut it was quite intimidating in the earlier version too :-)
07:39:04[IDC]Dragonlower, you mean?
07:39:17LinusNboth, actually
07:39:41LinusNthis way will help to remove the "manual" bit fiddling
07:40:08[IDC]Dragonhelp to? It removed it.
07:40:10 Join midk [0] (Zakk@c-67-160-88-198.client.comcast.net)
07:40:26LinusNyes
07:40:28[IDC]Dragonyou only need to decide how many bits you need
07:40:33LinusNexactly
07:41:01[IDC]Dragonsome shortcomings:
07:41:21[IDC]Dragonthe .cfg files are looking very plain now.
07:41:36LinusN(shortcoming?)
07:41:42[IDC]Dragonno min/max checking of a value
07:41:54[IDC]Dragondo you prefer them plain?
07:42:12[IDC]Dragonthe old ones had some comments as block captions
07:42:24LinusNah, yes
07:42:50[IDC]Dragonthe order in the .cfg file is now always the same as in the tables
07:43:46LinusNone nasty shortcoming is that the setting block becomes incompatible for every tiny change
07:43:56[IDC]Dragonno
07:44:06[IDC]Dragonnot for adding stuff
07:44:23[IDC]Dragonthe first entry sayshow many bits are valid in the block
07:44:25LinusNtrue
07:44:43LinusNi don't see that as much of a problem anyway
07:44:57[IDC]Dragonis only loads values up to there, leaving the others at default
07:45:17[IDC]Dragonnext time the block is saved, those will be valid, too
07:45:41LinusNhmm, did i really call it "rec_base_directory", how silly of me
07:45:59LinusNi should lose the underscores
07:47:02[IDC]DragonI think that's not used any more
07:47:30LinusNwhat isn't?
07:47:51[IDC]Dragonoops, sorry, other modules use it as external
07:49:14*[IDC]Dragon tries to understand
07:49:57LinusNi mean the string in the settings file
07:50:03[IDC]Dragonthere may be a problem
07:50:10LinusNme == stupid
07:50:18LinusNignore me
07:51:12[IDC]Dragonglobal_settings.rec_directory is a bool flag
07:52:08LinusNwell, it's a 1-bit index, actually
07:52:51[IDC]Dragonrec_base_directory should be moved to recording.c
07:53:16LinusNwhy?
07:53:19[IDC]Dragonsettings.c does not use it (any more)
07:53:36LinusNit never has
07:54:12[IDC]Dragonanyway
07:54:21LinusNi chose to put it in settings.c because more than one file uses it, and it is a setting
07:54:32[IDC]Dragonok
07:54:35LinusNi could just as well put it in recording.c
07:55:27[IDC]Dragonwhat I really wanted to check with you:
07:55:39[IDC]DragonI do no min/max clipping as of now
07:56:14LinusNthat shouldn't matter
07:56:17[IDC]Dragonbecause that would add 2 32 bit members (worst-case size) to the struct
07:56:54LinusNwhat's the deal with the SIGN() macro?
07:57:06[IDC]Dragonit marks a value as signed
07:57:27[IDC]Dragonso after bit extraction, it will get sign-extended
07:58:05[IDC]Dragonif we e.g. have a range of +/- 15, this member needs 5 bits
07:58:26[IDC]Dragonextracting it will result in 0...31, a positive int
07:58:46LinusNi would rather write it as (SIGNED | 32, S_O(.....
07:58:58[IDC]Dragonif we know it's signed, we can check the "MSB" and extend
07:58:59LinusN#define SIGNED 0x80
07:59:09[IDC]Dragonok

07:59:24LinusNfeels more straight-forward
07:59:59LinusNi'm not too happy about the S_O macro either, but i can see that it saves space and reduces the possibility of errors

08:00:43 Join midk [0] (Zakk@c-67-160-88-198.client.comcast.net)
08:00:52LinusNi think we can (and should) remove the DEFAULT_xxx macros
08:01:08LinusNor?
08:01:09[IDC]Dragonwhy?
08:01:34LinusNthey are only used once, as far as i can see
08:01:56[IDC]Dragonah, they are in settings.h, I see
08:02:07[IDC]Dragonthen it doesn't make much sense
08:02:09LinusNand only a few of the settings have DEFAILT_ macros
08:02:19LinusNit just complicates things
08:02:27[IDC]DragonI thought they are with the respective modules
08:02:28LinusNlet's clean that up while we're at it
08:02:32[IDC]DragonOK
08:03:13[IDC]Dragona nice cleanup would be to remove val2phys/phys2val ...
08:03:19LinusNlet me do that
08:03:23[IDC]Dragonbut let's do this first
08:03:29***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
08:03:37LinusNyup
08:03:47[IDC]Dragonthe code has some quirks to compensate
08:03:55[IDC]Dragonwhich can be removed then.
08:04:27[IDC]Dragonnext subtopic:
08:04:47[IDC]DragonI was thinking about inserting zero bitlength members
08:05:07[IDC]Dragon(some kind of escape value)
08:05:25[IDC]Dragonto be treated as a comment line for .cfg writing
08:05:51LinusNnot a bad idea
08:06:45[IDC]Dragonbut we can only group as much as it's grouped in the array
08:07:07LinusNah
08:07:19[IDC]Dragonif you e.g. add an LCD setting later at the end, it will be at the end
08:07:30LinusNone tiny thing, why do you include "rtc.h" in the middle of the file?
08:07:30[IDC]Dragonnot in "its" group
08:07:41[IDC]Dragonnot my code...
08:07:57LinusNoh, then move it up where it belongs
08:08:08[IDC]Dragonor?
08:08:22[IDC]Dragonmaybe copy/paste error
08:08:25LinusNon second thought, let's skip the comments in the settings file
08:09:40[IDC]Dragontoo cumbersome?
08:10:50LinusNyes, and the grouping is difficult
08:11:39[IDC]Dragonwhich brings me to the next subtopic:
08:11:48[IDC]DragonI'd welcome some thoughts for the RTC/HD choice
08:12:24[IDC]DragonI tried to maintain groups, so in doubt there's too much in the RTC
08:12:39[IDC]Dragonmy general philosophy would be to put values in the RTC if:
08:12:56LinusNi'd say that almost everything but the resumt info can go to disk
08:12:56[IDC]Dragon- they are constantly changing, like the resume index
08:13:19[IDC]Dragon- they are needed/helpful early, before the HD
08:13:49[IDC]Dragon- they are changed often by the user, and he would lose that if not waiting for the next spinup
08:14:08[IDC]Dragon(that's it)
08:14:39LinusNa good philosophy
08:14:55[IDC]Dragonnow help me to review it with that in mind
08:15:13LinusNthat will be the charging, backlight, resume and sound parameters
08:16:07[IDC]Dragonthe RTC is almost full, so I hay move some more to the HD
08:16:09LinusNscroll stuff -> disk
08:16:25LinusNscroll_speed...bidir_limit
08:16:26[IDC]Dragons/hay/may
08:16:35BlueChipwill you allow for full audio-prams?
08:17:18LinusNthink so
08:17:56LinusNtalk stuff -> disk
08:18:30LinusN"show icons" -> disk
08:18:57LinusN"fade on stop" -> disk
08:19:38LinusN"caption backlight" -> disk
08:19:53*[IDC]Dragon is resorting...
08:20:34LinusN"max file in..." could be on disk, but having them in rtc save a lot of trouble
08:21:59LinusN"play selected" -> disk
08:22:40LinusN"ff_rewind..." -> disk imho
08:28:14[IDC]Dragondisk poweroff/spindown?
08:33:10LinusN-> disk?
08:33:19[IDC]Dragonso I thought
08:40:58BlueChipLinusN: at 07.01.49, you said "as long as you are in the repository, that is" by "repository" did you mean the "rockbox" directory ...(to ease confusion, I have changed my login to "guest")
08:41:45LinusNBlueChip: yes
08:42:10BlueChipthanks
08:42:41BlueChipso would I be correct in saying that the uisimulator directory will not update from the rockbox directory
08:42:57BlueChip*uisimulator files
08:44:40LinusNthey should, try it
08:45:23BlueChipI will when I get the files back on my system - working the transcipt as I edit it
08:45:51[IDC]DragonLinusN: I should reserve some more bits for the runtime values
08:46:44[IDC]Dragon16 bits is only good for ~9 hours
08:47:22[IDC]Dragonwhat's topruntime good for anyway? with ac connected, it can be arbitrary long?
08:50:31LinusNno idea
08:50:59[IDC]Dragonhow many bits should I give it?
08:51:35LinusNwhy not scale it instead?
08:52:15[IDC]Dragonthen it needs to be scaled in global_settings as well
08:53:24LinusNi think 18 bits would be ok
08:53:52[IDC]Dragonvery well
09:00
09:01:05[IDC]DragonI don't use #ifdef HAVE_LCD_CHARCELLS

10:34:40Bagder" I hadn't seen a single complaint about the iPod (these days I know where to look :-/). All the advertising and articles made it sound fantastic. It was an expensive device. It was made specifically to play music. I was sure they would have made it able to play albums properly −− it seems a basic requirement of a music player to me −− and so I bought one. How wrong I was."

10:38:42ZagorBlueChip: no, they were having problems with cpu not being strong enough to decode mp3 (since they can't use the dsp)
10:39:14Zagorhaven't checked in a while though
10:39:23LinusN"The Tremor player is running at about 80% real-time."
10:39:26BlueChiplucky they have any access to the audio at all :(

11:19:45amiconnhi all
11:19:52Bagderhi jens
11:20:27BlueChiphey
11:21:48AciD`hi
11:35:24amiconnI've already tried my idea for varying backlight brightness via interrupt driven software pwm
11:35:39BlueChipaaaaand......
11:35:44*BlueChip holds breath
11:36:08amiconnWhile the result looks nice so far, I have once severe problem I don't know how to solve
11:36:19amiconns/once/one/
11:36:55amiconnFor the software pwm to work, I have to call rtc_write() from within an interrupt
11:37:19BlueChipsorry, why is that bad?
11:37:19amiconnrtc_write() in turn uses i2c, which is protected with a mutex
11:37:23BlueChipah
11:37:34BlueChiphmm
11:38:40amiconnSo if rtc_write() is called from the isr while the mutex is locked, the whole thing locks up because the mutex won't be unlocked while in interrupt context
11:38:56BlueChipindeed
11:39:07BlueChipi presume the rtc controls the leds?
11:39:36amiconnI have done a proof-of-concept plugin which fades the backlight up/down continuously.
11:40:20amiconnThis ran fine for several hours without playing music
11:44:32amiconnHowever, if you run the plugin in parallel with playing music, it will lock up after some time
11:46:03BlueChipcould you check the mutex before calling?
11:46:31amiconnI'm thinking about that, but what should I do _if_ it is locked?
11:47:23amiconnSimply omitting the backlight switch at that point will lead to visible glitches, and delaying is difficult
11:48:20amiconnBtw: I settled for having 64 steps; the base frequency is 128 Hz, so I have 256 ints/sec
11:50:05BlueChipWOW 64 is MORE than sufficient
11:50:27amiconnToo bad the backlight isn't simply connected to an i/o port (for the recorder, on the player it is)
11:51:06BlueChiphmmm, there has to be a solution
11:51:13amiconnIf it would use a port (tested it with the red led, which is connected to a port), I wouldn't have these problems
11:51:25[IDC]Dragonhi amiconn !
11:51:40amiconnHi Jörg!
11:51:50[IDC]DragonI2C within interrupt is not a good idea, iirc.
11:51:54BlueChipdo we have control over the green led?
11:52:12dwihnoI don't think so
11:52:32amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Why? (except of the mutex problem)
11:52:38[IDC]Dragonno. Only if you power off the box...
11:52:40amiconnBlueChip: No, it is hardwired
11:52:59[IDC]Dragonamiconn: port bit assignment
11:53:08[IDC]Dragonchecking...
11:53:42amiconn[IDC]Dragon: As is said, it works perfectly as long as you don't play music in parallel
11:54:04amiconnThis is because the mas control then also uses i2c
11:54:11[IDC]Dragonor use the display
11:55:22[IDC]Dragonhttp://rockbox.haxx.se/docs/ports.html
11:55:34amiconnurps
11:55:51[IDC]DragonI2C uses bits from both upper and lower half
11:57:37*amiconn thinks he is not playing by the port guardian rules then
11:58:36amiconnToo bad, a "light organ" plugin would be nice, however, this makes it (almost?) impossible on recorders because of the backlight control
11:58:48[IDC]Dragonwhen I did my software TX for the alpine plugin, I had to change all code using PBH to atomic and/or instructions
11:59:15amiconnOn players, it is also impossible due to the lack of sound level info from the mas
11:59:47[IDC]Dragonyou can do a hardware mod to have software brighness control
12:00
12:00:24[IDC]Dragonby changing the frequency which the RTC uses to drive the pin
12:00:56amiconnYes, but then the plugin would only be for those geeks who mod their hardware
12:01:12[IDC]Dragonas with all hardware mods, yes
12:02:07amiconnToo bad i2c even uses PBL; making this interrupt-save would require reverting the lcd driver to an ultra-slow version :(
12:02:19amiconn*safe even
12:02:48[IDC]Dragonnot ultra-slow, but the way we had it, with locking interrups per byte
12:03:35***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
12:04:40amiconnThis would still be considerably slower than it is now, because in addition to the int en-/disabling the precalculation has to be done for every byte then

13:56:20darbsllimthey've got a lot since I've last checked!
13:56:41darbsllimlast time I checked they were having problems from Archos trying to 'dissuade' them from going ahead with the project
13:57:23Zagoryeah, we kind of helped them out of that :)

14:00:40c0uttaguys, is the currently playing track stored in variable "id3" ?
14:00:51Zagordepends on where you look :)
14:01:40c0uttahmmm. i want to get the path of the currently playing track
14:01:48Zagorfrom where?
14:01:59Zagorare you writing a plugin, or patching the wps?
14:01:59Bagder struct mp3entry *id3 = mpeg_current_track();
14:02:02darbsllimso you guys wrote a descrambler? What's that for, might I ask?
14:02:14c0uttata bagder
14:02:22Zagordarbsllim: archos firmwares are scrambled to prevent us from doing things like this
14:02:31c0uttazagor: using this for context sensitive wps stuff
14:02:49Zagorc0utta: ok. see bagder's note then
14:03:38***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
14:04:22darbsllimso you wrote a descrambler so that archos doesn't have to reveal their secrets to us? They don't have to worry about someone using their code or something?
14:05:03BagderArhos never had to do anything
14:05:23Bagderthey do worry anyway though ;-)
14:05:26Zagordarbsllim: they don't have to worry, since using their code would be illegal
14:06:15Zagorbut they were threatening avos over their descrambler for multimedia, that's why I decided to write my own and release it. to call their bluff.

14:09:18darbsllimtonnes of people signed that petition and they haven't responded yet or what?
14:09:35Zagori guess not. i never expected they would.
14:09:48BagderI would be very surprised if they did
14:12:10darbsllimah wel
14:12:24darbsllimso when do you guys think the avos will be up and running?
14:12:41Zagordepends on what you want. it is up and running already.
14:12:59Zagorbut last I heard, they did not plan to make a better mp3 player firmware
14:13:17Zagortheir plan was to get linux running and thus get a pocket computer of sorts
14:13:33Zagorbut that was a while ago, it may have changed
14:14:21Zagori'd like to use their research to port Rockbox to it, but I don't seem to ever get some spare time :(
14:15:36darbsllimthat would be awesome. The av300 has so much potential
14:15:56darbsllimit's such a beast, hah...you could probably make a mouse for it too eh
14:16:25darbsllimand if people were dedicated enough, I bet it could be turned into like a portable internet phone and stuff
14:16:33Zagoryes, but it also has a lot of secrets. the documentation is very hard to get, so programming for it can be troublesome. it is unclear if we could ever make it play movies, for instance
14:18:20darbsllimyeah I guess there's nothing really out there like it
14:18:35darbsllimit must be like trying to learn a new language without help or references
14:18:37darbsllim0th January 2004 dogger
14:18:37darbsllimHave bought a PDA keyboard, and successfuly used it on the av300
14:18:47darbsllimthat's awesome

14:21:47darbsllimyeah, like a blind man fumbling in a beautiful flaural greenhouse for a seed

14:22:19darbsllimhaha, jk
14:22:55Zagorhehe
14:23:51darbsllimso how long has rockbox been around, like 3 or 4 years hasn't it?
14:25:14Bagderthe name was set in jan 2002
14:25:33Bagderthe efforts started for real in dec 2001
14:26:27BagderMay 3rd 2002: "We have sound."
14:26:41darbsllim=P
14:27:47darbsllimthat's awesome guys. I know it probably doesn't mean much coming from a stranger, but I'm glad there's people like you guys to do work like this. I hope the av300 hacking project goes as good as rockbox.
14:28:26Zagorme too
14:29:18Bagdertomorrow there's the 2 year aniversary for sound on the recorder!
14:29:21darbsllimI hope that we can get things like better recording resolution...i'm not a fan of the old mpeg4
14:31:40darbsllimbut also, being able to use it like a computer
14:31:43darbsllimthat's crazy
14:31:52darbsllimso has there been any new advancments in the rockbox os lately?
14:31:59Bagderpong!

14:32:30Zagorthe file/plugin association was the latest major change

15:39:41Zagoris it the same as the bigger gmini?

15:40:28[IDC]Dragonit uses a different kind of 1.8" drive, the "half-brick"

20:56:36amiconnI'm busy doing my hd upgrade...
20:56:42uskiwhatsup :)
20:56:45uskiooo
20:56:47uskiyou're lucky :)
20:56:58midkoohyah
20:57:00uskii'm waiting for my solder paste so as to upgrade my RAM and the FLASH
20:57:13uski(with my new hot air soldering gun :))
20:57:19amiconnNext thing I want to do is the white backlight mod
20:57:25uskimwehehe
20:57:27midkooh white backlight
20:57:29uskii think i'll do that first
20:57:30midklooks a bit hard
20:57:31uskiit's very easy
20:57:34uskinope
20:57:35midki like that idea though
20:57:38midkoh,
20:57:43midkis there a page tutorial?
20:57:45uskimidk you jsut have to rewire a bit the leds
20:57:50Neurosupherotyes a tutorial!
20:57:52uskihmmm i may write one ;)
20:57:54Neurosupheroti will be great!
20:57:56midkgo uski
20:58:00uskibut it's not because there is a tutorial that it will be easier
20:58:00midki want to do it
20:58:10uskiactually if you have the required skills to do that you don't need a tutorial
20:58:27uskiif you need a tutorial, it means that you have 0 electronic experience and i wouldn't recommand you to do the mod' then
20:58:29midkjust not sure what i need to get or what i need to do
20:58:41Neurosupheroti wonder what effect will produce white leds
20:58:54midkoh, i thought you meant replacing the leds
20:58:56Neurosupheroti never see white backlight
20:58:59uski4 white SMD leds, forward voltage 3.6-3.8V, package size "1206"
20:59:16Neurosupherotwhere can you cuy it?
20:59:18Neurosupherotbuy
20:59:22uskiwww.digikey.com
20:59:29uskiwww.ebay.com, some ppl sell them for mobile phones
20:59:52uskii also bought 2 orange leds to replace the red/green ones
21:00
21:00:08uskiblack bumpers, gray box, orange leds, and white backlight = very cool look i think ;)
21:00:15uskiorange and gray is a very cool color combination
21:01:21uskiblah
21:01:22uskiguess what
21:01:25uskii'll do that this evening :P
21:01:31uskilemme take my digital camera ;)
21:01:40Neurosupherot:D
21:02:00Neurosupherotwill you put the tutorial and the photos on the rockbox site?
21:02:01uskii have it
21:02:03uskisee ya :P
21:02:07uskigimme 2 hours
21:02:08uskiprobably ;)
21:02:30uskiit'll be another contribution from me for rockbox, but the first that is clearly "visible" :)
21:02:33uskii hope you'll apreciate it
21:02:34uskibrb
21:04:59Neurosupherot:)
21:05:18Neurosupherotwhat is milicandela rating ?
21:05:52midki want to see
21:13:04amiconnNeurosupherot: If you want an impression how white backlight will look, see http://joerg.hohensohn.bei.t-online.de/archos/backlight.jpg
21:13:05Neurosupherotthere is so many colors that i dont know what to choose if ill buy it
21:13:37midkOMGZ
21:13:44midki want the one in the middle

21:26:05[IDC]Dragonscripted? ;-)
21:26:07jakesirhi
21:26:11jakesirhmmmm
21:26:12amiconnI just upgraded my hd (only have to close the box again) :))
21:26:13jakesiri don't know
21:26:34[IDC]Dragonjakesir: ho's it going?
21:26:44jakesirnot good
21:26:49jakesirnot much progress
21:26:56jakesirI cut that line
21:27:04jakesirand connected to ground
21:27:28jakesirput it together and when pressing on
21:27:55[IDC]Dragonit exploded?
21:27:59jakesiri see light come on and running boot doesn't work
21:28:23jakesirwith this setup, my hd doesn't start smooth
21:28:28[IDC]Dragonboot=serial boot, or Archos?
21:28:29amiconnbtw: The bug in Rockbox (booting from flash) when the drive is completely empty is still there - it says "panic! disk: null" and USB is not usable.
21:28:44jakesirit starts and stops several times and finally stays on
21:29:32[IDC]Dragonstarts and stops? flaky power?
21:29:37jakesirbut running uart_boot doesn't get me any where
21:29:41jakesiryeah
21:30:08[IDC]Dragonamiconn: is F1+On giving you USB?
21:30:23amiconnYes, I knew that solution.
21:30:25jakesirso, i was worried about my soldering job I tested with running that wire to 3v source and same thing
21:30:58[IDC]Dragonamiconn: not meant as a solution, but as diagnostics
21:31:00jakesirso, i resolder it back to the original and it's acting normal
21:31:05amiconnThe Archos firmware is more clever in that case: It says that there is no partition and that you have to format the drive
21:31:43[IDC]Dragonamiconn: interesting report
21:32:17jakesirso, my question is... How do i let it serial boot?
21:32:19[IDC]Dragoncan you fix it and commit an update? ;-)
21:32:34[IDC]Dragonjakesir: one moment please
21:33:18jakesirok.... at least I know my soldering is OK
21:33:22[IDC]Dragonamiconn: hard for "normal" developers to reproduce and test that
21:33:36jakesirI'm gonna seperate that point again
21:35:03Neurosupherotcan we change the voltage délivered to the backlight's leds?
21:36:40amiconn[IDC]Dragon: As I told you earlier I also want to change the leds. I measured the size of the original ones (as I want to use a similar size)
21:37:38amiconnThe original leds are close to 0805. It is a bit difficult to get white 0805 leds. (I don't want to resort to ebay)
21:38:09midkuski> 4 white SMD leds, forward voltage 3.6-3.8V, package size "1206"
21:38:48amiconnI found one German provider for them, however they only sell to business customers. I'll see how I can solve that.
21:39:49[IDC]Dragonamiconn: why not ebay?
21:40:56amiconnI don't like ebay, and have neither bought nor sold anything on ebay up to now.
21:41:11[IDC]DragonI did many times
21:41:17[IDC]Dragon(buy)
21:41:24[IDC]Dragonwas OK every time
21:42:01amiconn(1) I don't like auctions in general. (2) I hate all those ebay popup and banner ads.
21:42:20[IDC]Dragonhow about 50 LEDs for EUR13?
21:42:54[IDC]Dragonthat's true, they pollute the internet and google search results
21:45:44[IDC]Dragonjakesir: what exactly happens if you enable uart boot?
21:46:11[IDC]Dragon(it should just appear frozen, disk spinning)
21:46:29jakesirit looks frozen
21:47:01[IDC]Dragonok, does it react to uart_boot?
21:47:07Neurosupherotmaybe the battery is destroyed?
21:47:09jakesirno
21:47:41[IDC]Dragonwith what command line?
21:47:54jakesirjust about any command
21:48:01jakesiri don't think it's responding
21:48:17[IDC]Dragonit has to
21:49:14jakesiruart_boot -r -p COM1 -h -b
21:49:26[IDC]Dragonyou have to set up the serial wiring fist, the switch it on with in uart boot mode, then run the command
21:50:24[IDC]Dragonlooks ok
21:50:37jakesiryeap, and it's saying downloading monitor....
21:50:41jakesirforever
21:51:09[IDC]Dragonah, and FMs as I know then shut down a few moments after you release On
21:51:23[IDC]Dragonis that the case?
21:51:28jakesirand if I let go ON, then the whole thing shuts off
21:51:44[IDC]Dragonyou need to hold On until the command is through
21:51:44jakesirand I get the message saying...
21:52:01jakesirerror tranmitting monitor byte 0x48, got 0x0
21:52:24[IDC]Dragonyes, tlking to an off box is no good
21:52:28[IDC]Dragontalking
21:52:42jakesirlol
21:52:54jakesirhow long do i wait?
21:53:03jakesir'til it's finished talking?
21:53:12jakesirI held it on for more than 1-2 min
21:53:14[IDC]Dragonmaybe your serial out from the box is not working?
21:53:27jakesiri tested with teraterm
21:53:43[IDC]Dragonyes, but only your adapter
21:53:59[IDC]Dragonwe don't know if the serial mod is OK
21:54:17jakesiri wish I can send this to ya
21:54:36jakesirthis thing is bugging the hell out of me
21:54:49[IDC]Dragonusually, the start phase of uart_boot (downloading the monitor) is pretty quick, a few moments
21:55:12[IDC]Dragonwhere are you located?
21:55:16Neurosupherotis your warranty always ok?

22:13:30jakesirhmmm, do you think the baud is too fast and that the jbr doesn't receive??
22:13:48[IDC]Dragonno
22:14:08[IDC]Dragonyou don't have a choice of baudrate, it's fix
22:14:26jakesirwhat the rate at?
22:14:53[IDC]Dragonit starts with a very weird rate, the switches to 115200
22:15:02jakesirhmmm
22:15:06[IDC]Dragons/the/then
22:18:32jakesirsorry to ask, but are you sure this uart boot works on JBR2?
22:20:46[IDC]Dragonit's an FM, yes
22:20:54jakesirno
22:21:01jakesirit's jbr2.0
22:21:09[IDC]Dragonor you have a ROM-less box
22:21:15jakesirbut the board says jbr-fm v2.2
22:21:17[IDC]Dragonthen it won't work
22:21:52[IDC]Dragonlet's check for ROM-less
22:22:14jakesirok
22:23:21*[IDC]Dragon looks for the FM PCB scan on haxx
22:24:05jakesirhttp://joerg.hohensohn.bei.t-online.de/archos/uart_boot/FM_Overview.jpg
22:24:41jakesirone interesting thing is that the box starts normal with the uart boot mod w/o wire connected to GND
22:24:59[IDC]Dragonit does?
22:25:12[IDC]Dragondidn't you say it freezes?
22:25:20jakesirwhen I say normal, it only starts in archos mode with F1+on
22:25:47[IDC]Dragonw/o, sorry
22:25:50jakesirwhen I press just ON, it looks as if frozen
22:26:14[IDC]Dragonso, wire to Gnd: freeze, wire open or to 3V: normal start?
22:27:11jakesirlet me re-phrase
22:27:38jakesirwire to nothing: ON= freeze, ON+F1=archos
22:28:23jakesirwire to GND: ON=freeze, On+F1=freeze
22:29:12[IDC]Dragonlooks good then
22:29:12jakesirwith wire to nothing+ON+F1, after it loads i can release ON and it'll stay on
22:29:29jakesirLOL
22:29:55[IDC]Dragongood=having a boot ROM reacting to the pulldown
22:31:02jakesirso, my boot_mod is good, level converter is good.....
22:31:08jakesirconnections are good....
22:31:14jakesirrunning out of idea...
22:31:44[IDC]Dragonrepeating myself: I suspect your serial mod
22:31:53jakesirlol
22:32:14jakesirhow much power do i need on tx/rx end to talk to jbr>
22:32:23jakesir> = ?
22:32:47[IDC]Dragonnothing significant
22:32:49jakesirtalking about pin 11 & 12 end on max3232
22:33:04jakesir~3v is enough?
22:33:19[IDC]Dragonworst case, you drive a 1kOhm pullup, so 3mA
22:33:32[IDC]Dragonvoltage is 3V, yes
