09:22:08PaulS(It's in the "Memory Map" section)
09:23:12PaulSI was a little disappointed yesterday that the remote LCD's SPI is done via software "bit-bang". I had a suspicion it was done that way when I did some logic analyzer traces.

09:54:46kurzhaarrocker*sigh of greed*
09:55:13PaulS(Dead IHP) Truly sweet. I hope the GPIO map makes some of the signal tracing faster.

09:59:38PaulSSo far it doesn't seem like there are any PLDs hiding anywhere, which makes things pretty cut and dry once the datasheets start falling. In the case of the LCD displays (the only major things we don't have definitive docs on) I think it's pretty clear from the code how to access them.

13:36:13[IDC]Dragonamiconn: yea, this is surprising. The internal one has a reset, and we have the very datasheet for it.
13:36:44[IDC]Dragonthe situation for the external is much less controlled

14:57:30elinenbedo the button limits correspond to the dirrerent versions of the hardware, or is it just pretty much random?

15:00:08elinenbeah nice... have you torn it apart yet?
15:00:20LinusNyes, all IC:s are removed
15:00:27[IDC]Dragonall?
15:00:29LinusNyes
15:00:47[IDC]Dragonso you have a blank PCB now?
15:01:03LinusNthe passive components are still there
15:01:18[IDC]Dragonah, yes, that irrelevant stuff
15:01:22LinusN:-)
15:01:51elinenbe[IDC]Dragon: I understand that, but are the capacitors different in the different versions of the hardware, or is there some sort of standard? I understand capacitors have room for error, but how visible is the error b/w 2 of the same model?
15:01:55kurzhaarrockerIt might have been a good idea to leave any 0-ohm resistors :)

15:13:28pyrosare you contributors or just followers of the project?
15:14:01Bagderwe are many contributors around
15:14:17pyrosah :)
15:14:45pyrosi've got an iriver h140, was having a talk to one of the misticriver admins about this project
15:14:56pyrossounds awesome, hopefully you guys will be able to fix up the downfalls of the iriver :D
15:15:22Bagderhopefully, yes
15:16:26 Quit R3nTiL ()
15:16:56pyrosi hear rockbox secured a dead iriver as well?
15:17:07Bagderyes
15:17:15Bagderit is even more dead now ;-)
15:17:15kurzhaarrockerLinusN killed it completely now
15:17:35[IDC]DragonLinusN hassome replacement chips now
15:17:43pyrosheh
15:18:17pyrosso with the archos firmware, if you produce a dodgy build you're just able to revert back to a stable build?
15:18:42kurzhaarrockeron the archos yes
15:18:45pyrosmm
15:19:04pyrosdo you think there'll be the ability to do that on the iriver?
15:19:06Bagderit isn't that hard
15:20:01Bagderbesides, I assume we load the firmware from disk during the first time of development anyway
15:20:17kurzhaarrockerIs ist clear wether a partial write of the flash is possible?
15:20:29kurzhaarrockers/clear/known
15:20:47[IDC]Dragondid nobody find a loader-kind of thing in it yet?
15:20:48pyroswith the iriver you can't load from an external source as far as i know - not currently, anyway. a hex file has to be run from the root directory to update from
15:21:27pyroscause i guess that's going to be the biggest hill to overcome - ensuring that you don't end up with a paperweight if a flash goes bad :\
15:21:42BagderI disagree
15:21:51pyrosyeah?
15:21:53Bagderif _that_ is the biggest hill then it all will be easy
15:24:03pyrosbut, suppose the iriver can't be flashed externally and it has to be done via loading a file from the hdd itself..?
15:24:24Bagderstep 1 - we write a firmware load that _works_
15:24:29Bagderloader
15:24:37Bagderit can be debugged and reflashed using BDM
15:24:45Bagdereven if it goes totally boom
15:24:53pyrosBDM ?
15:24:56Bagderyes
15:25:06Bagderso, when that works, it can load a firmware and run it
15:25:16kurzhaarrockerbdm A debugging interface using a serial interface
15:25:17pyrosah, orsm :)
15:26:16Bagderthen it'll just be a matter of replacing the file on disk when it is bad
15:26:20Bagderand reboot
15:28:42pyrosnice
15:29:09LinusNprovided that you still can access the disk via usb to put the new file on it
15:29:20Bagderright
15:29:24*kurzhaarrocker wonders if it might be possible to glue in a bga chip using conductive glue
15:29:25Bagderis that fully sw?

15:31:34kurzhaarrockerI'll wait until our wizards made the bulldozers part on the iriver before I consider buying one.
15:31:37LinusNwe should at least include a monitor on the serial port like we do in the flash version of rockbox
15:32:13pyroskurzhaarrocker: do you have a player at the moment?
15:32:31kurzhaarrockerno, I am stuck with that archos jukebox recorder crap
15:33:32pyrosmm
15:33:38kurzhaarrockerI'd love it if the audio electronix in it was better.
15:33:43pyrosi bought an iriver based on the fact that it was perceived to be an awesome player
15:33:53pyrosand the player has proved that it is all that :)
15:34:03Hadakawhich iriver?
15:34:06pyrosh140
15:34:15Hadakadoes it charge off USB?
15:34:23LinusNno
15:34:31Hadakaso only H3x0?
15:34:39pyrosnope, but there's a minisync cable that can charge it from usb
15:34:58pyrosthe minisync cable charges + uses usb interface, so you can charge and access the player at the same time :)
15:35:25kurzhaarrockerI'd prefer an external charger anyway. And spare AA batteries of course :)
15:35:27pyrosthey've had some troubles with it and windows xp so far, once they've got a v2 cable out that works with xp i'll buy one. it's only $14u.s.

15:37:14pyroshttp://www.misticriver.net/boards/showpost.php?p=41064&postcount=68
15:37:24pyros^^ boxwave's official announcement about it
15:39:21kurzhaarrockerThat explains a bit: I don't have usb2.0 :)
15:39:44pyrosheh
15:39:53pyrosi have 4usb 2.0 onboard
15:39:59pyrosno, 6
15:40:09pyros2 on the front of my case + 4 on the back
15:40:14pyrosi use...2 ports :)
15:40:32kurzhaarrockerThus you could buy another 4 irivers.
15:40:39pyrosa most excellent idea

15:45:50pyrosso how long has it taken to get from the first steps of the archos to releasing the fully fledged firmware?
15:46:11Bagderdefine "fully fledged" ?
15:46:26pyrosfunctional..working
15:46:33pyrosfully fledges was a bad choice of words
15:46:55pyrosgood enough to release to the public :)
15:47:25BagderDec 2001 - work started
15:47:31LinusNit took us a few months
15:47:36Bagderend of dec, LCD-code on recorder worked

15:49:41kurzhaarrocker<- never believed it would get past the first enthusiasm. The task is just so big.
15:50:21pyroslol
15:50:32pyrosso roughly 5 - 6 months before first release, that's pretty neat
15:50:59Bagderthis time we have more code to re-use
15:51:23Zagoryou mean: this time we have code to reuse :)
15:51:37Bagderthat's a better way to put it, yes ;-)
15:51:38kurzhaarrockerNow I assume it won't be longer for the iriver than a month or two if no serious showstoppers occur.

16:44:09[IDC]Dragonamiconn: this already is a lot of code, respect
16:46:51[IDC]Dragonthe original ata code somehow publishes the disk info, we could place the CID content there
16:48:52Zagoryes, ata_get_identify
16:50:11[IDC]Dragonis that ASCII?
16:50:36Zagorno, it's the identify sector returned by the IDENTIFY ata command
16:52:31***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
16:54:58[IDC]Dragonhmm, so emulate that format
16:57:21Zagori'm not sure that's worthwile. it will be a lot of code.
16:57:33Zagormaybe just add an ata_get_cid
17:00
17:00:17amiconnZagor: mmc_get_cid then. I try to stay compatible with existing ata functions, but new functions should be prefixed with the "proper" type (imho)
17:02:27Zagoryes
17:02:48[IDC]Dragonbut then it's not interchangeable?
17:03:23amiconnIt isn't interchangeable anyway, since the CID is MMC specific
17:03:29Zagoremulating the identify sector is going to take hundreds of lines of code. it's not worth it.
17:03:34[IDC]Dragonusing this, I mean
17:04:00[IDC]Dragonbut then we need th adjust the debug screen
17:04:05Zagoryes
17:04:08[IDC]Dragons/th/to
17:04:31Zagori guess spinup time isn't really applicable either ;)
17:04:33[IDC]DragonI'd try to make this minimum invasive
17:05:17Zagorthat's a good ambition, but the debug screen is outside the "rules". there is too much hardware-specific code in there to make it general.
17:06:12[IDC]Dragonshoudn't be that much code to mocj up an identify sector with what we have, zero the rest
17:06:28[IDC]Dragons/mocj/mock
17:07:02[IDC]Dragonbut I see you point
17:07:07Zagorok. i don't know how the cid looks so I can't say. if you think it's a good idea, go ahead.
17:07:11amiconnI'll replace the "show disk info" with "show MMC info" (#ifdefed)
17:08:44amiconnA lot of hings that are in the ata identify sector aren't relevant for mmc (like max_multiple_sectors, pio mode etc.). Then there are relevant parameters for MMC that don't exist for ata (e.g. maximum clock frequency)
17:09:12[IDC]DragonOK, new info is better

19:37:07[IDC]Dragonamiconn: do you read?
19:39:16[IDC]Dragonanyway, I tried your driver, it doesn't say much
19:41:04[IDC]Dragonjust CMD0|1 resp:
19:41:43[IDC]Dragonboth 01 (101) for external MMC,
19:42:27[IDC]Dragonfor internal, same for cmd0 first, then changes to 05 (101) for cmd1
19:42:38[IDC]Dragonno fancy test output
20:00
20:19:18amiconnHmm, strange. It should say (and does for me with external card) 0x01 (1) for cmd0, 0x00 (some..) for cmd1, then a box telling some info from the CID. However, the latter can only work if the responses were boh correct.
20:21:04amiconnWhat all this means: after power up/reset/mmc mode we first have to send cmdp (go idle state) with CS asserted to tell the card to go into spi mode. The card response must have set bit 0 (only), meaning idle state
20:23:32amiconnNext thing is to wake up the card with cmd1. The card will respond with 0x00 when it is ready, which may take some time. Until it is ready, the card answer will be 0x01 (idle), so the command has to be repeated
20:24:26amiconnThe number in () tells how many repetitions were done until the correct answer was received, 101 is the timeout.
20:25:57amiconnI get the same responses as you for internal flash, and sometimes 0xFF for both commands, meaning it doesn't answer at all
20:26:28elinenbein that timeline above I think you forgot that in May 2002 Sokoban was written for the recorder −− before it even had sound!
20:27:37amiconnThe answer 0x05 is the most puzzling here: bit 2 set means "illegal command". I wonder what illegal thing I'm doing to it...

22:56:56amiconn[IDC]Dragon: For the chip select(s), reset signal...
22:57:21Zagor:)
22:57:24[IDC]Dragonwhere should those hide?
22:58:58[IDC]Dragondoes the code read like it should be inverted?
22:59:35amiconnDunno yet, just wild guessing from the odd behaviour.
22:59:53amiconnPerhaps I should check port values by read-back
23:00
23:00:07amiconn..*before* initializing anything
23:00:27amiconnThe ROM firmware accesses the internal flash, so it has to use the SCI
23:00:43[IDC]Dragonmight be interesting
23:01:03[IDC]Dragonbut we can as well measure the Archos firmware "at work"
23:01:13amiconnOf course we can't read the lcd port values, for obvious reasons

23:02:11amiconn[IDC]Dragon: I found one reason why the archos fw is smaller than rockbox - it does things in a more centralized and hence more compact way
23:02:26amiconnFor instance, there is a global port init
23:02:57[IDC]Dragonmost of all, it's smaller for far less features
23:03:33 Quit scott666_ (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
23:03:54amiconnFrom that, I have an interesting finding for you (Ondio FMR). Are you sure that PB0 is FM readback and PB4 is FM write?
23:04:17[IDC]Dragonno, it could be the opposite
23:04:38amiconnI'm asking because PB0 is initialized as GP out (of course this might be due to the lcd data), but PB4 is initialized as GP in...

23:05:04[IDC]Dragoncan check in more detail, still have the tuner daughterboard off
23:05:22amiconnDoes the Ondio work without the tuner board?
23:05:29[IDC]Dragonyes
23:10:48[IDC]DragonZagor: could you perhapsrun the tests for FAT32?
23:11:41Zagorsure
23:17:31amiconn[IDC]Dragon: CRC-16 does work now too. The MMC CRC-16 does *not* use the CCITT init (0xffff), but uses 0 instead. So in case we want to use CRC protection, I'm prepared...
23:18:22[IDC]Dragonbut a different polynomial, right?
23:18:42Zagor== Test completed successfully ==
23:18:53amiconnYes, it's a different one from the CRC routine we already have.
23:19:02[IDC]Dragonphew, looks like I didn't break it
23:19:32amiconnTime for some real world tests... too bad MMC doesn't work yet :(
23:20:00[IDC]Dragonamiconn: repeating myself, I don't think we need CRC protection for this close transfer
23:20:14[IDC]Dragonwe're not doing int on ata, either
23:20:47[IDC]Dragonbutit's always goo to know how things work :-)
23:22:07amiconnYes I know, but (1) it may help finding mistakes in the transfer routines for debugging and (2) I just wanted to see if I'm able to get *something* working at all :(
23:27:55[IDC]DragonZagor: how's FAT16 with1 or 2 sectors/cluster?
