00:11:22amiconnFunny, there is a rejected feature request to support the iriver ihp1xx (!)
00:11:28Zagorhaha
00:12:48LinusN:-)
00:14:04amiconn..and even a second one!

00:31:31LinusNZagor: what's the coldfire target called?
00:31:40LinusN(building a toolchain)
00:31:49Zagorm68k-elf
00:31:53LinusNthx
00:32:59amiconnLinusN: Did you read about my file system stress test?
00:33:10LinusNyes, any results?
00:33:57amiconnStill running, but it already read back and compared >1 GB. No single bit error so far :)
00:34:41 Quit midk ("just STOP it arspy")
00:40:29LinusNmaybe there is some code that disabled the irq for a long time
00:40:52LinusNor that the inverted LED affected some port bit fiddling somewhere
00:42:52amiconn..or this really has to do with the spdif recording bug of the mas. I can't test yet, but I'm just collecting parts for building a toslink->chinch converter, buying the missing parts tomorrow
00:43:15LinusNdo you have a 48kHz source?
00:43:34amiconnNo, 44.1 kHz only (CD)
00:43:50LinusNif this is the s/pdif bug, then why is it working so well with 2.2?
00:44:47amiconnI have no idea, but I still want to test to rule this out
00:45:40LinusNand he also claims it works better on an empty disk
00:46:07amiconnYes, that's indeed strange. Perhaps he should test with my test plugin?
00:47:04***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:47:59amiconn(It would need a bit of polishing, and it requires a custom .ajz because fsync() is not in the plugin api in cvs)
00:48:18LinusNhe says it got worse somewhere around when i changed the led behaviour
00:49:15amiconnYes, but he also says he can't remember exactly which version and therefore which change introduced this. The led change did nothing to the low level recording code...
00:50:49 Quit GhUl (Remote closed the connection)
00:51:54amiconnThe recording led change was introduced on Jun 22. Only 3 weeks before that (Jun 3) you introduced recording pause, which _did_ change the recording code...
00:51:59Zagori'm off to bed. see you tomorrow.
00:52:01 Quit Zagor ("Client exiting")
00:52:13LinusNamiconn: yeah, i'm looking at that code as we speak
00:54:40LinusNwe should build a pre-pause version and have him test it
00:58:27amiconnBtw, you fix to get the complete last frame apparently doesn't work.

01:12:46amiconnBut on Jul 05 I enabled optimized ata...
01:13:09pikewebguest06 it's hardly begun, and dude, they will TRY port it, they never said it WILL happen for certain

01:45:51amiconnLinusN: On 2004-08-20, Paul responded on the ml that a special version you sent to him fixed the recording problems. What was special in that version?
01:46:51amiconnErr, this was 2004-08-10, and on 2004-08-20 he said that there are still many bad frames
01:47:22LinusNhe had two problems, 1) it spontaneously froze, 2) corrupt frames
01:47:43LinusN1) was fixed by disabling ATA optimization
01:47:52LinusN(my special build)
01:48:03amiconnI wonder if his hd has a hw problem...
01:48:25LinusNthen 2.2 should fail as well
01:48:36amiconnHmm.
01:49:52amiconnDid you also disable the optimized recording transfer routines in your special build?
01:50:19LinusNnope

04:34:37ZaNecool thank u much
04:35:02ZaNehow do u install a patch?>
04:35:02midkp
04:35:07midknp*
04:35:16midkyou have to set up a development environment
04:36:00ZaNe? Im party stupid when it comes to that stuff ?
04:36:33midk:) sadly i just today reinstalled linux, haven't yet re-setup my environment, otherwise i could do it for you...
04:36:54ZaNehow can i get a environment up?
04:36:54midkyou could try bc's devkit, that will give you an environment, but you still have to apply the patch and compile yourself
04:37:16ZaNeic wat kind of script does it use?
04:37:36midka makefile
04:37:44midkhttp://homepage.ntlworld.com/cyborgsystems/CS_Main/RockBox/RockBox.htm
04:37:49midklook here for the devkit
04:39:05ZaNekk
04:39:37midkthere's a tutorial for building there, as well.. after you get it compiled you just have to read the patch doc to learn how to apply the patch and then just re-run make
04:39:57ZaNeic
04:40:05ZaNekool i will look into that
04:40:18ZaNebut do you know if there are ne kind of screen saver stuff out
04:40:21midkif you've got a specific question, feel free to ask

07:09:58plokIn terms of getting an iRiver iHP to pull apart, is there any possibility of setting up a fund we could donate to so one could be purchased?
07:10:38LinusNyou could donate to the rockbox paypal account
07:10:40dwihnoI guess the rockbox fund might be used for that
07:10:53dwihnoMorning, Linus
07:10:58LinusNwe have bought one already with that money
07:11:14LinusNand i have taken it apart
07:11:38midkit's good to know that our money is given to linus so he can purchase things to disassemble. ;)
07:11:38plokUnsoldered the CPU?
07:11:42LinusNbut i want a device that i can destroy
07:11:56midkuh-oh.
07:12:10LinusNmidk: unsoldering the CPU
07:12:23dwihnoLinusN: Ah. Interesting way to get rid of the aggrevations :)
07:12:30LinusNhehe
07:12:35dwihnoI smash my porcelain when I'm feeling angry ;)
07:13:18LinusNit seems like iriver is very generous with returns, even when the user has killed the box
07:13:35LinusNso there aren't many broken ones out there
07:14:07LinusNand those with broken ones probably don't hang out here or in the iriver forums :-)
07:14:22dwihnoLinusN: why do you want to unsolder it?
07:14:38LinusNit's a BGA package, which means that i can't get to the pins for measuring
07:15:11dwihnookay
07:15:29LinusNand it's extremely difficult to solder it back
07:15:46LinusNand unsoldering it without melting the cpu is hard as well
07:16:24dwihnoyou need to unsolder the cpu, fix the "broken" unit and solder it back along with attached cables for measuring?
07:16:36*dwihno knows nothing of these hardware ninja moves
07:16:44plokLinus, based on what you know, what are the chances that a successful port to the iHP1xx range will mean a successful port to h300 range?
07:16:52LinusNno, soldering it back is virtually impossible
07:17:05dwihnoLinusN: so how are you going to measure it?
07:17:11LinusNplok: the chances are good
07:17:46LinusNdwihno: i'm not measuring live signals, i'll just check which pins go to which chip
07:18:02LinusNto draw schematics
07:18:14dwihnoLinusN: aah.... when you said measuring, I started thinking volt meters and stuff
07:18:34dwihno"stuff" including virtually anything regarding electronics ;)
07:18:35LinusNbad choice of words, maybe :-)
07:19:07dwihnonah :)

07:34:15plokWhen making a Paypal payment with a credit card, is it treated as a cash advance or just a normal credit card payment?
07:34:39LinusNa normal payment, afaik
07:35:15LinusNwhen i pay, i see nothing special in my eurocard bill
07:37:25plokSorry, never used paypal before. Do I make a payment to paypal and have that much credit on my paypal account, then make payments to rockbox from that paypal balance?
07:43:11LinusNafaik, you don't even have to have a paypal account to make a payment
07:44:13plokI see, making a donation now. Do you have any idea of how far away we are from getting another iRiver to sacrifice?
07:44:20plok(in us dollars)
07:46:33LinusNi have no idea
07:46:58LinusNit just feels bad to slaughter a perfectly working device ... :-)

08:05:40amiconnMy filesystem test completed without a surprise, i.e. without a single bit error. Rockbox file system seems to be rock solid :)
08:07:04LinusNi don't know if i should be happy or not :-)
08:09:48amiconnI plan to try another modification this evening, and have some question
08:09:50amiconns
08:11:09amiconn(1, this has nothing to do with my modif, but it's suspicious) the SCI0 init seems to be wrong. It's no bug, but it doesn't do exactly what the comment says if I am correct:
08:12:08amiconnThe comment says "set baud rate to 1 MBit/s", but BRR0=3 is 750 kBit/s if I read the datasheet correctly
08:12:58plokLinus, would you estimate the iRiver CPU is beefy enough to play movies?
08:13:17LinusNamiconn: i bet it's correct on the player
08:13:39LinusNplok: sure
08:13:59amiconnLinusN: This calculation is based on 12 MHz clock. Did you measure the generated clock?
08:14:00LinusNif the jukebox can do it, the iriver will do it as well
08:14:19LinusNamiconn: i think i did, but that was a loooong time ago
08:14:21plokThe screen on the H340 is really good :)
08:14:29LinusNplok: i haven't seen it
08:15:40plokI showed my friend yesterday and he said he thought it looked a lot better than the lcd on the archos Multimedia

08:21:40amiconnLinusN: (2) Why do we transfer max. 30 bytes from rec_tick() ? If we transfer as long as eod is low, and if it goes high wait a short time (< 5 usec) to see if it goes low again, this should automatically give us all dma blocks belonging to a frame?
08:22:19amiconn(3) Doing this would required that the irq is no ,longer edge detect, but level detect?
08:22:27LinusNyes, but i didn't want to do that, since it would hog the cpu for quite a while
08:23:04LinusNhowever, the optimized loop would not take that much time, would it?

08:23:46 Join [IDC]Dragon [0] (~50861e1a@labb.contactor.se)
08:23:56amiconnLinusN: Hmm. As it is now, the next irq follows immediately at return from the isr, so it wouldn't make a difference, would it?
08:24:05LinusNnot really
08:24:07[IDC]Dragonmorning!
08:24:35amiconnIn fact, this could be even faster, because the additional return->call sequences are saved
08:24:41LinusNi remember having problems with that approach back then, but we should try it again
08:24:44amiconnmorning Jörg
08:25:55[IDC]Dragonjust to bore you iriver guys: the ondio has a backlight preparation
08:26:07amiconnLinusN: Well, maybe it will still not deliver a complete frame, because the dma blocks are 30 bytes each, and there may be a smaller residue
08:26:45[IDC]DragonI just measured the live I/O signal to the empty footprint, it behaves like a backlight level
08:26:58amiconnI wonder how the archos guys did it - the archos fw doesn't save a truncated frame at the end
08:27:02Zagor[IDC]Dragon: but no components (leds) mounted?
08:27:04LinusNno, it will not give us a complete frame, but the burst transfer will probably be more effective
08:27:25[IDC]DragonI think it's EL, not LEDs
08:27:47Zagorok
08:27:54[IDC]Dragonfor LEDs, the PCB would need a preparation (footprints)
08:28:41amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Perhaps the Ondio SP has backlight...
08:29:08[IDC]Dragoneducate me about the iriver status: is it possible to execute own code?
08:30:25[IDC]Dragonamiconn: I've googled for ondia and backlight, the reviews I saw complain about it's absence
08:30:48amiconnah
08:31:07[IDC]DragonbutI sure don't mind you getting one with
08:31:12LinusN[IDC]Dragon: not yet, we need a BDM interface
08:31:39[IDC]Dragonisn't there some hacks to exchange the bitmaps in the firmware?
08:31:58plokLinus, in keeping with my very premature questions.. the H340 has USB on the go that will mount a device that identifies as a Mass Storage Device. If we get rockbox working, is it at all possible we'd be able to write custom drivers for other USB devic
08:31:59plokes?
08:32:32LinusN[IDC]Dragon: yes, we can create a flash image, but we don't want to do it until we have a safe way of reflashing a dead box
08:32:46LinusNplok: no
08:32:54LinusNdifferent USB chips
08:32:55[IDC]Dragonah, sounds familiar to me ;-)
08:33:07plokoh well! :)
08:33:36LinusNthe first thing we want to do is an iriver-rolo
08:34:05[IDC]Dragonthe iriver has no procedure to boot from disk?
08:34:47plokHmm.. when I upgraded my iRiver firmware I had to copy to disk but then go into a menu item and manually update the firmware from there

08:52:00pikeZagor, have you "played around" with your iriver? which fw version ?
08:52:20Zagorpike: linus has our only hardware yet
08:52:35plokthe H340 has 9 buttons + a sliding Hold switch
08:52:36Zagorin lots of small pieces... :)
08:52:42pikeoh.. my mistake..
08:52:56Zagorright, i didn't count the hold switch. h100 has it too
08:54:00pikeI see that irivernordic/directman is online on msn now.. but I'll not discuss with them, coz one unified front is best
08:54:00plokCan we advertise for 2nd hand irivers on mistic river?
08:55:31Zagori don't see why not, if they have a suitable place for it
08:56:01pikethere's also irivers official forum to consider

13:34:27pikeit's mindboggling for me
13:34:33dwihnoPerhaps it might be possible to do the mp3 decoding in lesser mhz
13:34:36pikeand work for so many hours
13:34:43Zagordwihno: yes, hopefully
13:35:03pikebut ogg/vorbis is not optimized for playback

13:37:05*dwihno senses great battery times
13:37:12dwihnoIf this decoder will use less juice
13:38:18Zagorwell i'm guessing iriver uses motorola's mp3 decoder, which is probably rather heavily optimised. so we'll probably use more power at least initially
13:38:46dwihnoah
13:39:23dwihno32 mbyte buffer is a bit insane :)

13:39:58pikefigures.. asm src
13:40:03Zagorpike: yeah, but that is heavily optimised amiga-specific assembler with a bucket of dirty tricks thrown in...
13:40:21dwihnoI recall that Sundell guy.
13:40:46amiconnZagor: If you can get hold of the sources, there is a highly optimized 68k mp1/2/3 decoder library for the amiga: mpega.library by Stephane Tavenard
13:41:09pikeYes, the 6502 emulation is very fast in PlaySID, actually the emulation code is constructed by a program, and it uses every kind of dirty trick I could imagine
13:41:32Zagori think focusing on the emac will bring us the most bang/buck
13:41:59LinusNyup
13:42:19LinusNthere is no bdm code for m68k in the official gdb
13:42:35Zagorhence the sf project
13:42:47LinusNbut there is bdm code for PPC, using the maccraigor wiggler :-)
13:45:55pikemaybe this could be worthwhile? http://ftp.uni-bremen.de/pub/aminet/util/libs/mpega_libmad.readme
13:46:04pikeoptimized libmad for 68k
13:46:26dwihnoaha

13:46:41dwihnois nice

13:54:25 Quit R3nTiL ()
13:58:52Zagori don't see this being optimised much at all. seems more to be a mpega wrapper around libmad
13:59:25pikeyeah I may bw wrong, he may have just used some switches to make it a tad faster

14:05:23Zagorat 96MHz that means 125mW
14:06:50Zagoram i calculating all wrong, or is that less than the sh7034@12MHz?
14:07:38Zagora motorola sheet claims "MP3 decoder requires only 19MHz"
14:09:02LinusNlooks like i have to extend the ocd driver in gdb for the macraigor ocd wiggler
14:09:13LinusNwell, well...

14:25:39Zagori don't know if it actually makes the binary small enough to fit though. haven't tried it.

14:55:05pikereally? FAAD 2.0 src http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?cid=1&lid=4
14:55:08pikefor decoders?
14:55:26pikehow can they host this freely then?
14:56:16Zagorthe license is for apples codec. i didn't know about faac.
14:57:09tboyhttp://www.audiocoding.com/modules/wiki/?page=FAAD2
14:57:33tboyguess this could be used, right?
14:57:36pikeFAAD2 is a HE, LC, MAIN and LTP profile, MPEG2 and MPEG-4 AAC decoder.
14:57:36pikeFAAD2 includes code for SBR (HE AAC) decoding.
14:57:36pikeFAAD2 is licensed under the GPL.
14:58:03pikesbr is nice, it's what mp3 pro did for mp3 (not that I like mp3 pro)
15:00
15:00:20Zagorunfortunately it's a floating-point implementation, which most likely means the coldfire will run it too slowly

15:07:20pikeit's included either in mplayer and or FFMpeg suite
15:09:06Zagorwell let's just say the floating point issue stops it and leave it at that :)
15:09:18tboyok
15:09:39pikenot for me, I'll continue hunting for a decoder that *could work* :)
15:11:27tboywell it would be cool to find one that is free of payment/royalties and floating points ;)
15:12:16Zagorthe patent virus is unfortunately uncurable. the own the *idea* of aac compression, and there is no way to get around it.
15:12:40Zagor..other than supporting FFII in their work for stopping software patents in europe
15:13:11pikebtw.. isnt their roaylties for mp3 decoders also?
15:13:56Zagori won't discuss legal issues in this channel. sorry.
15:18:03tboyok, I got rockbox for my FM to fit the memory
15:18:09tboyor the flash rom
15:18:37Zagorone way to handle the dual displays semi-easily would be to display the remote buffer on the main unit when the remote is plugged in. then we "only" have to support dynamic sizing, not two different buffers
15:18:40tboyI'm gonna try to rolo my build and see how I crippled the debug menu
15:19:38Zagoramiconn, LinusN: how are we on the spdif issue? is it a confirmed bug or are we chasing a ghost someone says exists?
15:20:20LinusNwell, i haven't verified it with s/pdif, and neither has amiconn
15:20:38LinusNbut it's probably not a ghost
15:23:32amiconnZagor: I *will* verify this, buit first I have to build a toslink->electrical converter. I'll do so this evening.

15:31:02tboyright?
15:31:16tboyI thought it was a different bootloader
15:31:23tboywell ok, its working fine
15:32:36tboyshouldn't I have more free buffer now?
15:33:01Zagoryes, a bit
15:33:31tboyit dowsn't seem to have changed, or is it only that marginal
15:33:40tboythat I can't see it
15:33:51tboywell it says 1.780mb
15:34:02Zagorwiki says "about 170 kb more ram"
15:34:25tboyhmm maybe I got pawned :D
15:34:29tboyno just joking

15:41:29tboyI just noticed something
15:42:05tboyI didn't know you guys implemented gapless play
15:42:33tboyor I haven't been paying attention to the development
15:42:39Zagorthat's old
15:42:42tboydangh
15:42:54tboy:) well
15:43:16tboyyou guys have really made this mp3 player a whole lot better
15:43:21Zagorbut it requires that the mp3 data is prepared for it
15:43:38Zagorwell there wouldn't be much point otherwise, would it? ;)
15:43:47tboyyes, so it can buffer it in time
15:44:11tboyyea, but I admire what you guys are doing
15:44:35Zagornot just so we can buffer the data, the internals of the format is not designed for gapless playback so you need to make your files gapless specifically
15:44:57tboyoh ok
15:45:25Zagorhttp://lame.sourceforge.net/tech-FAQ.txt if you really want to know :)
15:45:37tboyis there any other project like rockbox, that has had any success
15:46:35Zagorit depends on what you mean "like rockbox". another mp3 player firmware? no
15:46:54tboysuccess as rockbox has achived
15:47:29Zagorthat is very subjective. i like to think we are pretty unique, but i'm sure there are people who disagree.
15:47:30tboyoopss type achieved
15:48:22tboywell yea I guess unique is the right word, now that I think of Linux on Ipod and the avos project
15:48:39tboythose two are both trying to get linux running on their devices
15:49:03tboywhile rockbox is an os built from scratch
15:49:24tboyand which objective is to be a good music player
15:49:34tboywith some nice features on the side :)
15:50:23Zagorthose two also don't have a finished product that users are running

16:36:18Elemenoit seems to be kind of sporadic
16:37:00Zagorsounds like a hardware problem, i'm afraid
16:37:35Elemenohmm.. any idea what it could be? I just recently replaced the LCD screen on the thing, and I thought everything was working fine

16:43:02ElemenoI wonder if it can be related to something being loose or not touching entirely right, because if I move the Archos, sometimes it will turn off

16:52:26pikeargument is valid, if all you do is fill your hd, then never removes tunes
16:52:35pikeremove
16:52:59LePoulpe303i remove a lot
16:53:19LePoulpe303i put 10 albums ; i keep 5 songs ; then 10 albums again , etc ..
16:53:55Zagormp3 files are so big that fragmentation doesn't become an issue even with lots of add/remove
16:55:27Zagoryes, the files are fragmented. but each fragment is big enough that it does not become a performance penalty

21:15:39amiconnAha
21:15:50amiconnNothing else?
21:15:51[IDC]Dragondunno why they made it this way round
21:16:07[IDC]Dragonthe recording jack is on the main PCB
21:16:29[IDC]Dragonno, else there's only the tuner on that board
21:17:20amiconnNo line in jack on the SP, there is a blind plug at that place
21:17:55amiconnThe archos fw handling is not very intuitive, imho
21:18:28amiconnThere is some music "preinstalled", I guess it's the same as on all archos units
21:18:47amiconn(Don't remember if it was on my v1 though)
21:18:59[IDC]DragonI think it was
21:19:15[IDC]DragonI liked the handling
21:19:38[IDC]Dragonwith recording and FM not hidden in some menu
21:20:23amiconnMaybe it's different on the sp. There is a "main screen" where you can select between settings and browser
21:21:34amiconnIf you go to settings, there is a menu, with sub-items. But if you change a setting. you can only leave with the menu key, jumping back up to the main screen
21:21:58amiconnIf you want to change multiple settings, this is annoying
21:22:11amiconnBtw, the rockbox idle timeout works
21:22:34[IDC]Dragonit did power off?
21:23:00amiconnyes
21:23:04amiconnI wonder how. There is no pin for switch off given, both in the jukebox port assignmments (except fm/v2) and the Ondio?
21:23:35amiconnOr do I have to clean my glasses?
21:23:36[IDC]Dragonthat means it has power off like the FM
21:23:58amiconnHow do player and v1 power off?
21:25:48amiconnWe have to do an all-new battery scale... The symbol is constantly flashing
21:27:45amiconnWe really need button debouncing... The Ondio buttons seem to be crap (or you didn't get the levels completely right

22:51:17amiconnThe left is spdif out (digged up my scope) My spdif converter doesn't emit anything, though the dvd player sends (i can see the light in the fiber)
22:51:25tboyI've got a little problem
22:51:47tboywhen I try to convert a bitmap to rb with the compiled tools
22:52:19tboyI end up with the right picture, but its inverted
22:52:44amiconn[IDC]Dragon: ARgh! Of course it couldn't output anything, since my input power connected broke
22:52:57amiconnNow it works, nice....
22:53:52amiconnBtw, there is a simple rule: SPDIF In is for recording, which is the right channel, and the right plug is usually red.

22:56:52tboyI now tried to invert the picture and then convert it to rb
22:57:21tboybut it then shows up Inverted on my box
23:00
23:01:02amiconnWhen I play back the file I just recorded via spdif, the time & bit rate display is totally f***ed up: Bit rate 813 kbps, and it plays 0:40 of 0:29 (!!)
23:02:01tboyok, thanks anyway
23:02:19tboyI'll better get going

23:30:52amiconnmp3fixer really must have a bug: If I feed an mp3fixed file back into mp3fixer, it does find further corrupt frames?!
23:31:25Zagordoes it ever not find corrupt frames, or does it just not fix them?
23:32:33amiconnIt tells that it fixes (i.e. cuts out) the corrupt frames. When using a second time, it spots some more, sometimes at the same and sometimes at other byte addresses.
23:33:00Zagorwhat if you run it on a normal lame-created mp3 file?
23:34:12amiconnI'll try that...

23:40:33*[IDC]Dragon tries to uart-boot the ondio...
23:45:33*Zagor found the x11 button bug
23:46:01*LinusN is soldering wires to the tiny, tiny lcd connector
23:48:29amiconnZagor: Checked a folder of lame-created mp3s. mp3fixer did not find bad frames there. It seems the bad frame detection works, but the fixing is broken
23:48:37Zagorok
23:49:30amiconnFurthermore, mp3fixer has problems displaying byte counts >256 MB
23:49:36LinusNthe lcd seems to be connected in parallel
23:49:37SmoothOperatorOn the Ondio, would you be able to use the MMC slot and the onboard memory at the same time with Rockbox, not one or the other like the Archos f/w?
23:50:39LinusNi'm trying to connect wires for logic analysis to the lcd data bus, but the pads are soooooooo small
23:50:45amiconnSmoothOperator: Using both at the same time is not possible because of hardware limitations, but we could make it selectable

23:51:19amiconnBut first we need to have a working mmc driver at all
23:52:54amiconnThose mp3 tools are all fishy :( They don't agree on the errors in my test files...
23:53:18Zagor:(
23:53:41LinusNwe should write our own
23:53:58amiconnYes, I really have to get my hands on that.
23:54:54*[IDC]Dragon gives up uart-booting
23:55:27[IDC]Dragonsomehow it locks up when accessing ROM or Flash
23:55:47[IDC]Dragonbut in general, it works, it has read the flash ID
