00:30:09LinusNamiconn: you only need to keep track of the current file size
00:30:46amiconnLinusN: So it would be possible to simply set file->size to 0 when opened with O_TRUNC?
00:32:21LinusNyes
00:33:17amiconnHmm. Is there some test code (I wouldn't want to test this on my real disk)
00:33:19amiconn?
00:33:55LinusNfirmware/test/fat
00:34:21LinusNthere is a test program with a simulated ATA disk
00:34:34LinusNfor linux...
00:34:56LinusNit might work with cygwin, but don't count on it
00:35:00amiconnLinusN: In case you don't already have that info: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/toc.htm , then click on "system interfaces" on the top left, then again bottom left
00:36:23LinusNah, nice
00:36:46TempisI have a question about the display on a studio 10
00:36:56amiconnLinusN: Reading the original IEEE publications is not free...
00:36:57LinusNonlinepubs, sounds nice, i could use a beer or two :-)
00:37:03LinusNTempis: shoot
00:37:08amiconnLinusN: lol
00:37:19TempisI am getting garbled text on the display
00:37:38Tempisand then sometimes nothing on the display
00:37:47LinusNwhat happens if you push it?
00:38:03Tempispush the display?
00:38:08LinusNyes, apply some pressure
00:38:16Tempislet me check
00:38:59Tempisnothing really
00:39:31LinusNwell, you should operate the device while pushing the lcd, to see if it works
00:39:54LinusNand if the lcd is totally blank, you must push it while starting the device
00:40:01Tempissometimes it works sometimes it doesnt
00:40:09amiconnLinusN: From reading that, I learned that while we don't need to remember the O_TRUNC flags after open(), we need to remember the O_APPEND flag
00:40:25LinusNthe lcd plate is only glued to the connector
00:40:30Tempisi see
00:40:44Tempispushing while starting seems to have fixed it
00:41:01TempisI have accidentally dropped it once or twice
00:41:13amiconnLinusN: "O_APPEND: If set, the file offset shall be set to the end of the file prior to each write." (notice the last 2 words)
00:41:29LinusNyou can take off the cover and wedge some rubber or so to push the lcd to the connector
00:41:44***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:42:21TempisI might just do that
00:42:24LinusNamiconn: yes, we should do a seek for each write, but that will kill performance
00:42:26Tempisthanks for the tip
00:42:35LinusNTempis: been there myself :-)
00:42:36Tempisalways a pleasure with you guys
00:43:05 Nick midk is now known as midk|doom3 (~midk@c66-235-14-120.sea2.cablespeed.com)
00:43:08LinusNand we truncate on close for performance reasons
00:43:32amiconnYes, but we truncate wrong...
00:43:44*LinusN has a really hard time dismounting daniels laptop...
00:43:53LinusNamiconn: yes we do
00:44:02LinusNbut we should still do it on close
00:44:31amiconnIf the fat driver can handle this, simply setting file->size to 0 shouldn't hurt performance. Then the real truncation still takes place on closing
00:45:24LinusNyes, the truncating is done by performing a fat_seek to the desired offset, and then do fat_truncate
00:45:44 Part midk|doom3 ("just STOP it arspy")
00:45:52Tempiswhen I power my archos on, I have to hold the power button in until I the version number on the screen, is that normal?
00:45:53amiconnFor the append case: we could check if file->fileoffset != file->size , and only do the seek if this is the case.
00:46:31LinusNsure
00:47:14LinusNso we set the file size to 0 in open(), and in close() we change line 239 to:
00:47:38LinusN rc = ftruncate(fd, file->filesize);
00:48:05LinusNsorry,
00:48:14LinusN rc = ftruncate(fd, file->size);
00:49:15amiconnyes, In open, of course if (flags & O_TRUNC) file->size = 0;
00:49:22LinusNyup
00:49:43LinusNTempis: yes, that's normal
00:50:39amiconnLinusN: We can ditch file->trunc then (though it may slightly hurt performance for files that are not opened with O_TRUNC)
00:51:34LinusNfat_seek / fat_truncate can take a long time on long files
00:51:39Tempisahh, good
00:51:47TempisI thought it was, but wasn't sure
00:52:16amiconnTempis, LinusN: If the players were flashable, it should improve startup behaviour, right?
00:52:44LinusNin what sense?
00:53:21LinusNyes, it may be slightly faster, and we might not be forced to hold ON for so long
00:53:39amiconnShorter hold time of power button necessary, and faster boot (but then I don't know whether the Archos boot takes that long for players)
00:53:40LinusNbut the player startup time is quite fast anyway, imho
00:53:54Tempisyeah, its pretty fast
00:53:59Tempis20 seconds maybe
00:54:10Tempisperhaps less
00:54:10LinusN20!!!
00:54:14TempisI've never timed it
00:54:15amiconnThe Archos recorder boot time is looong
00:54:31LinusNi'd say 5-6 secs
00:54:36LinusNon the player
00:55:29LinusNi have to go now, cu guys
00:55:39Tempis10 seconds from power on till I can play something
00:55:53 Part LinusN
00:56:19amiconnRecorder boot with Archos fw is ~12..15 sec, flashed with rockbox it takes 3 sec (!)
00:58:37amiconnMost players are also flashable technically, but rockbox doesn't run correctly cold-started on the players. That's because the guy that developed the flash procedures doesn't have a working player to test with
00:59:16Tempisany chance of that changing?
01:00
01:00:03amiconnIf someone with the necessary knowledge (and time) gets hold of a player, maybe yes.

09:23:52LinusNhi Christi-S
09:23:58LinusNany luck with your fm?
09:24:17Christi-SNo Linus. Looks like it's a hardware problem. :(
09:24:32Christi-SI'm trying to find my screwdriver so I can take it to bits.
09:24:58Christi-SWeird thing is that it won't even turn on unless there's AC power plugged in.
09:25:15LinusNdoes the drive spin when you charge?
09:26:15Christi-SNot while charging, no.
09:26:32Christi-SIf you try to turn it on while charging, then it tries to and fails.
09:26:56 Join Bagder [0] (~daniel@1-1-5-26a.hud.sth.bostream.se)
09:27:19LinusNi'm of course referring to your opinion about the drive spinup
09:28:39*Christi-S nods. I now think it's something other than that. Possibly a dodgy contact somewhere.
09:29:19LinusNbut you claimed that it tried to spin up when you inserted the charger
09:29:55LinusNi had a similar problem once with my fm
09:30:06Christi-SMy box does that sometimes.
09:30:26Christi-SIt's kind of non-deterministic.
09:30:34LinusNit refused to start, and it behaved weird when i attached the charger
09:30:56LinusNresetting continuously
09:31:09Christi-SIf you try to turn the box on with the charger in, it's resetting continuously, yes.
09:31:35LinusNwhat happens if you attach both ac and usb?
09:31:58Christi-SThe sound it's now making doesn't sound so much like drive spinnup, but I'm at a loss to think what it does sound like.
09:33:03Christi-SSame thing happens with both USB and mains.
09:33:19LinusNi mean simultaneously
09:33:28Christi-S(Where's my bloody philips screwdriver gone?)
09:34:02Christi-SYes. Simultaniously (although that's a bit hard to test, my mains connector is slightly dodgy and requires angling to make it work.
09:34:09LinusNoh

10:08:12[IDC]DragonI was close to get a Smart, but it had 2 flaws I coudn't bear
10:09:04[IDC]Dragon1) The hard suspension, 2) the "nodding" when shifting gears
10:09:20Zagorhehe, yeah the gearbox is weird
10:09:50[IDC]Dragonelse I'd liked it, small cars are my thing
10:09:58[IDC]Dragonnow I got an Audi A2
10:10:25Zagori don't plan on keeping the Smart for long, it's only a temporary until my Mini Cooper arrives (yeah, i like small cars too ;)
10:10:52[IDC]Dragona real Mini, or that BMW lookalike?
10:11:10dwihnoMini cooper?! Haha
10:14:54Zagorthe bmw model. the real one is too uncomfortable (and not made anymore).
10:15:14Zagorit's still the smallest car on the market though, except for smart
10:16:59[IDC]Dragonhow long is it?
10:17:26[IDC]DragonI only heared that it's about 1 m longer and twice the weight of the original
10:17:43[IDC]Dragonwhich I found quite remarkable
10:19:22Zagorit's 3.65m
10:20:38[IDC]DragonMercedes A-Class is 3.57
10:20:55[IDC]Dragonbut way taller
10:22:20[IDC]Dragonanyway
10:22:39[IDC]Dragonhave fun with you car!

10:23:10Zagoraclass is 3.83 according to their web site
10:23:28Bagderthe older aclass was shorter, I believe
10:23:30Zagormaybe differs depending on year. nm.

11:35:03lImbusthen, I roloed into the new firmware, started the rockbox.ucl, then I had to flash it BLIND.
11:35:41lImbusnow, I got my font atadore back, but the std-fonts seems to be missing. no numerical volume-display, time, no version strings in info menu...

14:04:51[IDC]Dragondoes anybody have a pointer to an MMC driver?
14:09:54amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Already analyzing the Ondio hardware ;)
14:09:55amiconn?
14:11:27[IDC]Dragonjust doing the theory
14:12:32[IDC]Dragonwe have an MMC driver in the project I'm working on, but that's not public
14:18:07amiconnIirc all those memory cards (excluding SmartMedia) feature an inbuilt ata controller, so it won't be difficult to implement I guess
14:21:04[IDC]Dragoncotroller yes, but I doubt it's ATA

14:50:36BagderJens/Jörg: can you add the rombox .lds file as one single file to the CVS, like the app.lds is today?
14:51:40[IDC]Dragondo you want it as an additional file, or merged with app.lds?
14:52:02Bagderwhatever is most convenient to maintain
14:52:45BagderI'll preprocess the file like the existing one
14:54:21[IDC]Dragonwe'll links twice, correct?
14:54:26[IDC]Dragonlink
14:54:26amiconnI think it should be a separate file. The variants (v1/v2/fm) can be handled with simple #ifdefs. We should keep in mind that the start addresses are tailored for the current flash images.
14:54:27Bagderyes
14:54:53[IDC]Dragonthen it should be an extra file, apart from app.lds
14:55:03BagderI'm ok with that
14:55:30amiconn[IDC]Dragon: http://www.mmca.org/tech/MMC-System-Summary-v3.31.pdf
14:55:34[IDC]Dragonjust do an #if around the 1 line with the base address then
14:56:50Bagderright, me fix
15:00
15:02:12amiconnBtw: MMC is an open standard, unlike SD: http://www.open-mag.com/features/Vol_17/storage_standards/storage_standards.htm
15:02:28*Bagder added firmware/rom.lds just now
15:02:53BagderI do have one problem though
15:03:13BagderI get an overlapping section

15:07:39amiconnbagder: The #ifdef'ing misses a third option - the fm recorder
15:07:58BagderI know, this is just a quick shot
15:08:14BagderI think we should better define stuff in the config-*.h files
15:08:24Bagderthen we don't need any ifdef
15:08:28amiconnOkay. What is the exact message, concerning the overlapping section?
15:08:38Bagderwanna try my makefile patch?
15:09:21Bagder /usr/local/sh-elf/lib/gcc-lib/sh-elf/3.3.1/../../../../sh-elf/bin/ld: section .datacopy [0000000002011010 -> 0000000002011893] overlaps section .data [0000000002011010 -> 0000000002011893]
15:10:03Bagdertry this http://daniel.haxx.se/makefile.patch
15:18:23amiconnBagder: Hmm, these sections are meant to be identical, seems that you use a newer version of make, since I don't get this
15:18:50Bagderwhat binutils did you use?

15:20:27[IDC]Dragonis this related to the .iramcopy problem Linus got when switching to gcc3.4? Some hack didn't work any more.
15:20:38Bagderthis is gcc 3.3.1
15:20:57Bagderamiconn: can you try my makefile patch and see if it builds a good rombox for you?
15:21:09amiconn[IDC]Dragon: This _is_ the same problem Linus got when switching to newer binutils
15:21:55BagderI'm using 2.15
15:22:31*Bagder walks off for a while
15:22:42amiconnBagder: My binutils are the cygwin package sh-binutils by Eric Lassauge, build date 20030901-EL-1
15:22:57amiconnWhere can I check the version?
15:24:00amiconnI can try the makefile patch, but can't check the binaries atm (not at home atm, whereas my recorder is)
15:25:04[IDC]DragonBagder: for the FM, the start index would be 0x14010
15:25:51amiconn[IDC]Dragon: I mentioned this on the RomBox wiki page
15:25:57Bagdersh-elf-ld −−version
15:26:17[IDC]Dragonamiconn: just tellin...
15:26:21amiconnGNU ld version 2.14.90 20030901
15:27:50Bagderits very annoying that this is so sensitive on correct gcc and binutils and whatever
15:28:27kurzhaarrockerLinusN: are you still interested in including the recording trigger or did I make you give up with my crappy code? ;)
15:29:48[IDC]DragonBagder: it probably doesn't have to, LinusN fixed his iramcopy trick in a backwards compatible way
15:30:08Bagderaha
15:30:32[IDC]Dragonand ROMbox doesn't *require* gcc3.3, it just helps on the size

15:31:31kurzhaarrockerToo many fish I hope :)

15:32:12LinusN[IDC]Dragon: do you know anything about the panasonic cd changer protocol?
15:32:29LinusNwhat's the polarity of the serial data line?

15:33:26[IDC]Dragonfrankly, I don't know

15:38:37[IDC]Dragonor Archos?
15:38:44amiconnBagder: (makefile patch) (1) make clean doesn't remove linkrom.lds and rombox.[elf|bin]. (2) it fails after trying to build rombox.ucl:

15:39:48[IDC]Dragonoops, perhaps
15:39:52amiconnThe file rombox.ucl isn't generated either

15:53:54lImbusLinusN: do you remember you told me the "External:" power indication in Debug->battery is wrong ? IiIrc, you said it's wrong scale.
15:54:10[IDC]Dragonwould be cool, and automatically take care about the FM image not fitting
15:54:21Bagder[IDC]Dragon: since it fails for me now it is a bit hard to try out the fancy parts

15:55:04Bagderno worries
15:55:29lImbusLinusN: I just bought a new (universal) "wall wart" and whatever voltage I set up, it's showing +- 5.30 (like the original ac power does) or nothing (= 0.00)

15:59:26Zagoraccording to data in the batteryfaq, 11V+ charging is 2x faster than 9V
15:59:56kurzhaarrockerok. It's been a while since I last read the battery faq...

16:00:58Zagorhmm. tortoisecvs has *removed* btween 1.4.0 and 1.6.14 :(
16:01:08Zagorremoved features
16:02:07BagderLinusN: it doesn't with the rom.lds file

16:26:09jborockbox developers: thank you for the best thing since sliced bread
16:26:22lImbusaltough the external delivers about 9 v (verified) the display says something about 5,30 v.
16:26:33jbo(altho it's still not quite as good as cold beer)
16:27:07kurzhaarrockerThat's interesting, lImbus
16:27:09lImbusLinus said it's a scaling bug. And I tried to adjust the ac-adaptors voltage by controlling the display, but this doesn't work either.
16:27:50jboi do have a question, tho - when flashing my recorder (v1) to the latest CVS build, the firmware_rec.bin files are missing and only available in the 2.2 version
16:28:09jbowill this affect the success of the flashing?
16:29:02kurzhaarrockerMine says ~15V. A value that makes sense for 9V transformer without load.

16:50:34jboso lemme get this straight
16:51:09jboto flash the daily build (after 2.2 has been sucessfully flashed), i put the daily rockbox.ajz and 'rocks' directory onto my archos recorder
