#rockbox log for 2004-10-07

00:00:56 Quit marc77 (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:00:59amiconnI'll retry with latest cvs code (had a testing directory which is no direct checkout)
00:02:24[IDC]Dragonwhat a comprehensive MMC info you've got
00:02:50amiconnIt's still not everything that is contained in the MMC registers ...
00:03:13[IDC]Dragonthe year has only 4 bits, how short-sighted
00:03:31amiconnDid you notice: You can get info for both internal and external
00:03:56[IDC]DragonI didn't
00:04:21amiconnAh, I remember that you have no working external card :(
00:07:13amiconnArgh, my const'ing causes that dreaded "initialization discards..." warning if PREFER_C_WRITING is defined
00:07:25amiconnHidden bug :/
00:09:30amiconnNo panic with my latest build! :)
00:10:30amiconnWindows chkdsk does find no filesystem error either
00:13:57[IDC]Dragonhooray!
00:14:33[IDC]Dragon\o/ Jens \o/
00:15:30[IDC]Dragonthis will make Ondio hacking interesting!
00:19:10amiconnFAT32 still working as well.
00:19:29[IDC]Dragonbeautiful
00:19:30amiconnOf course I didn't do extensive tests
00:19:55[IDC]Dragonthe test suite doesn't help us here, of course
00:21:22amiconnI could adapt my filesystem stress test plugin (which I originally wrote for checking FAT32 whether it fails when saving recorded data)
00:21:37amiconnThis has to be adapted to the player lcd
00:21:58[IDC]Dragonwhat does it do?
00:23:01amiconnIt writes lots of data (pseudo-random sequence) to disk with a behaviour as close as possible to how the recording code does it
00:23:26amiconn(writing 2 large blocks with a pseudo-random split point)
00:23:45[IDC]Dragonlinear write, not terribly interesting
00:23:47amiconnThen it reads back all data and compares with the pseudo-random sequence
00:24:19[IDC]Dragonhonestly, I don't expect trouble from the unsigned
00:24:30amiconnWell, it's not completely linear, because the FAT is accessed in between
00:24:53[IDC]Dragonif some code only worked because it was signed, it must have been strangely wrong
00:25:14amiconnOkay, perhaps I should simply commit
00:25:46[IDC]Dragonhow much work is it to port your test?
00:26:33amiconnI would have to cut down the output to 2 lines. Shouldn't be that hard, since I use a roll function (restart at top line if bottom one was used last)
00:28:15amiconnBut running it can take a loong time. When I did the test with the recorder (using a little less than 2 GB in total) it ran ~9 hours
00:28:28amiconnOf course I wouldn't test with 2 GB here
00:28:39[IDC]DragonI was about to ask
00:29:45amiconnIt's a nice little stress test anyway. Perhaps I'll run it on the Ondio too, stressing the MMC driver
00:29:54[IDC]DragonI'm building with unsigned ,too
00:30:11[IDC]Dragondon't stress writing too hard
00:30:46amiconnI think it's no problem, since it doesn't write the same sector everytime
00:31:06[IDC]Dragonexcept for the fat
00:31:43amiconnThis is written to more than once, yes, but not that often too.
00:32:24amiconnOf course we'd need plugin support to do the test
00:33:27[IDC]Dragonah, I remember
00:34:21amiconnMy test plugin needs a patch to plugin.[ch]. fsync() is not in the plugin api by default
00:34:45[IDC]DragonOK, forget it
00:35:59amiconnI've still got the .patch file, so it's easy
00:37:22[IDC]DragonI'm starting it on my box now

00:47:18[IDC]DragonI did a manual test session, no problems.
00:47:56[IDC]Dragonrecording, deleting files, bookmarking,...
00:48:30amiconnBoth fat16 and fat32?
00:49:24[IDC]Dragonno, just FAT32
00:49:45[IDC]DragonI'm not worried about a broken FAT16 in cvs
00:50:17[IDC]Dragon(well, no more than we have that now)
00:50:39amiconnYou're right. So when my fat32 test completes without error, I'll commit, then I'll do the fat16 test.

01:05:25[IDC]DragonOndio can write, hooray!
01:05:34[IDC]Dragonjust dumped the ROMs
01:06:26 Quit _aLF ("Leaving")
01:07:16amiconnRebuilding the .voice files should be easy, but I wonder how out "Klara" will pronounce ".talk" (without a hint, that is)
01:08:11[IDC]DragonIm not sure how to name that entry, in general
01:08:21[IDC]Dragonfeel free to improve
01:09:28amiconnJust found that the german voice: entry is just "Sprachdatei". This should work of course, but it may confuse users
01:09:59[IDC]DragonI think it's fine
01:10:18amiconnI would associate "Sprachdatei" with a .voice file
01:10:26amiconnUnfortunately there is no simple german equivalent to "clip"
01:11:37[IDC]DragonI'll sleep well now

09:11:48LinusNZagor: welcome
09:12:16Zagormy ribs hurt :)
09:12:33LinusNZagor: i'm having problems deciding how to handle the iriver #ifdefs in for example backlight.c
09:13:01LinusNi'm opting for #ifdef IRIVER_H100
09:14:10Zagoryes, i agree. i think when the conditional is "which circuit board is this", the general player define is suitable
09:14:22LinusNgood
09:14:47Zagorwe can always refine it later if we find the need
09:15:08LinusNwe could have a PLATFORM define with several values
09:15:22LinusN#if PLATFORM == IRIVER_H100
09:15:46Zagorsure, no problem
09:16:06LinusNi'll go for #ifdef IRIVER_H100 for now
09:19:19[IDC]Dragonwe already have PLATFORM_ID, but it's use was discouraged
09:19:39[IDC]Dragonbecause we should check for features instead
09:20:16[IDC]Dragonoh, forget that
09:20:30[IDC]Dragonutter bullshit, I did that locally
09:20:41Zagor:)
09:20:49LinusNyou had me confused for a while...
09:21:06[IDC]Dragonwe have ARCHOS_xxx, which are flags
09:21:11LinusNimho, feature checks are platform specific
09:21:33[IDC]Dragonyes, but you check for the feature,not the platform
09:21:38LinusNbut we should go from ARCHOS_xxx to PLATFORM= instead
09:22:01[IDC]Dragonrecently; ilike multi-valued items, since the # of platforms is growing
09:22:09[IDC]Dragonagreed
09:22:27[IDC]Dragonbecause this is another bunch of flags
09:22:49LinusNmy view of this is:
09:23:06LinusNHAVE_xxx are for general features, like HAVE_BACKLIGHT
09:23:32[IDC]Dragonfor the backlight, I'd say CONFIG_BACKLIGHT = aaa|bbb|ccc for different hookups
09:23:34LinusNPLATFORM_xxx is the platform, eg IRIVER_H100 or ARCHOS_RECORDER
09:24:25LinusN[IDC]Dragon: agreed
09:24:42LinusNbut the CONFIG_BACKLIGHT values may differ between platforms

10:10:25LinusNBagder: works, but now it UCL-packs.....
10:11:11BagderI didn't change that
10:11:29Bagderthat's a different problem
10:11:33LinusNi know, i didn't get that far before
10:12:05Bagderlemme think a while on how to correct that
10:12:15Bagderunless you have an idea
10:12:17amiconnZagor: Next button issue: If you enter a sub-browser (plugins/ langs etc) from the menu, the first entry gets selected immediately. This seems to be a player-only issue
10:13:27LinusNit shouldn't uclpack targets that don't support flashing
10:13:37LinusNlike the player for instance
10:13:50Bagderthe question is how it is nicest done in the makefile
10:14:19Bagderprobably the target shouldn't be included in the all: line
10:14:32amiconnZagor: I wonder how this happens. I thought the button code does only send *one* button event for button down, then waits until repeat kicks in, then send button|BUTTON_REPEAT events continiuously until release, then sends one single release event.
10:14:42Bagderlike how the ROMTARGET already works
10:14:55LinusNexactly
10:15:12BagderI'll work on a fix
10:15:13Zagoramiconn: yes, that's how it works
10:15:55amiconnSo I wonder what causes the sub-browser issue on the player. The button down event gets "eaten" by the menu code entering the sub-browser...
10:16:38Zagorlooking...
10:17:37Zagoraha. "run" is now play+release, since play+repeat is context menu...
10:17:47Zagorthe puzzle keeps growing :)
10:18:20Zagor(i.e. you see the same problem on recorder if you use PLAY to select the "browse plugins" menu entry)
10:20:32BagderLinusN: ... and update!
10:22:07LinusNBagder: how do i make it not to build plugins?
10:22:24Bagderifdef them in SOURCES
10:22:45LinusNwhat is the plugins="yes" for in configure?
10:22:52Bagderah, right
10:22:56Bagderthat's how I made it
10:22:58Bagderset it to ""
10:23:05Bagderplugins=""
10:23:13LinusNi have tried not to set it, but it doesn't work
10:23:17amiconnZagor: Ah, yes. I did not get that since I usually use Right to enter the browsers. Strangely, it works for Ondio, which has no separate Play...
10:24:08Zagorthat's because the ondio context menu is broken :) (I just noticed)
10:24:28BagderLinusN: odd, it worked for the ondios before
10:24:32LinusNplugins="" doesn't help
10:24:51LinusNit still tries to build the plugins library
10:25:10Zagorhmm, tricky one
10:26:52LinusNENABLEDPLUGINS isn't used anywhere
10:29:02amiconnLinusN: When plugins were disabled for Ondio, it did also still build the plugin lib. Seems that the Makefile for the plugin lib needs a fix
10:32:48BagderLinusN: ENABLEDPLUGINS is used in plugins/Makefile
10:33:03LinusNBagder: check my commit
10:33:04Bagderuse it in lib/Makefile as well, and I think it should work
10:33:23LinusNi think it should be done in apps/Makefile
10:33:51Bagderright, that's probably nicer
10:34:01Bagderthen you can remove it from plugins/Makefile
10:34:32LinusNdoing it now
10:35:15LinusNdone
10:35:36LinusNok, now the iriver target builds ok

12:03:10PaulSI didn't try JTAG again. I did try the BDM interface again, but BKPT still didn't seem to do anything, so I imagine I'm using the wrong pads.

12:53:11HuwSylil help, im looking to flash my recorder10 back to the original firmware, whats the easiest way
12:53:20***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
12:56:35LinusNrename the original firmware file to firmware_rec.bin and run the firmware_flash.rock plugin again
12:56:57LinusNassuming you did back up the original firmware when you flashed rockbox the first time
12:57:02HuwSyiv lost the original file be the problem
12:57:17LinusNwhich version was it?

12:58:30LinusNyou can find the original firmware here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cyborgsystems/CS_Main/RockBox/Archos/jbrv1_bin_128.zip
12:58:52HuwSythank you
12:59:09LinusNit's the "internal_rom_20000...." file
12:59:31LinusNrename it to firmware_rec.bin and put it in the root of your archos, then run firmware_flash.rock
12:59:39LinusNand pray....
12:59:45LinusN:-)
12:59:57[IDC]Dragonhe's exaggerating...
13:00
13:00:09LinusNseriously, i don't know if 1.28 works on the rec10, but i assume that it does
13:00:46LinusNthe only prob would be the hw mask, but i assume that firmware_flash.rock preserves it
13:00:58[IDC]Dragonyes, it does
13:02:39LinusNthan all is fine.
13:06:46HuwSyhum... its not letting me load up into rockbox to even attempt a flash. i think its overly flat
13:07:10HuwSyoh well ill hopefully get it sorted later, thanx for the help

15:06:01amiconn[IDC]Dragon: How did you take the pictures? With the scanner?
15:06:26[IDC]Dragonamiconn: digicam. mine was also not closed for the pic, just placed
15:07:01[IDC]Dragonscanner is even better, if you have one of those thick flatbeds
15:07:42[IDC]DragonI have a thin one with a LED bar, has no depth focus at all
15:08:07Bagderreload daily build page
15:08:41[IDC]Dragonthat was quick
15:08:43LinusNi think adding iriver to the daily builds page is a bit premature
15:08:52LinusNelinenbe: thanks
15:09:04BagderLinusN: it would help us not break it when we modify things
15:09:12Bagderand vice versa
15:09:22LinusNit still needs a patched version of the compiler
15:09:37LinusNand it only compiles crt0.S and backlight.c :-)
15:09:46Bagderatm, yes
15:10:04Bagderoh well, I won't push it
15:10:09elinenbeLinusN: if I have an iriver, can I flash the rockbox firmware?
15:10:11LinusNwhat the heck, add it then
15:10:25elinenbejust to see the backlight flash?
15:10:29BagderLinusN: do we have the patch compiler on the host?
15:10:32Bagderpatched
15:10:40elinenbebut, how would I flash it back to the iriver firmware?
15:10:41LinusNelinenbe: yes, but you won't be able to restore the original firmware
15:10:54amiconn[IDC]Dragon: My digicam doesn't make such nice pics as yours. First it's only 2 Mpixel, second it has no macro feature, closest range is ~60 cm
15:10:57LinusNso your player will be a paperweight
15:11:14amiconnI'll try to do it with the scanner @work tomorrow
15:11:17ashridahelinenbe: you'd be fairly screwed without being able to take it apart and plug in a bdm to restore the original firmware
15:11:24LinusNBagder: i sent my second patch to the binutils project today

22:20:30[IDC]Dragonhi there!
22:20:39[IDC]Dragonflashed? ;-)
22:20:48uskiooo
22:20:57uski[IDC]Dragon, the flashing guy.
22:20:59amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Nope, not yet
22:21:10[IDC]Dragon:-(
22:21:23amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Some questions beforehand:
22:21:52[IDC]Dragonsure
22:22:07amiconn(1) Do you also get the strange RoLo behaviour with the archos fw on your FM? (just for comparison)
22:22:19[IDC]DragonI haven't tried
22:22:28amiconn(2) Do you believe it's safe for the SP? You obviously couldn't test...
22:23:04uski(what's the SP?)
22:23:07 Quit methangas (" HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- irc client ownage!")
22:23:34amiconnuski: There are 2 different Ondio models, see the wiki article and/or archos site
22:23:37[IDC]DragonI think it's safe. the bootloader is identical, I put the original plus Rockbox into the image (one at least should work), and the bootloader has minimon as the last resort
22:23:38uskiok
22:23:39uskity
22:24:38[IDC]DragonI can try the SP image, if it comforts you
22:24:55amiconn[IDC]Dragon: That's why I'm asking whether you get the strange rolo behaviour too. If it is so, and archos fw works for you from flash, flashing should be safe for me too
22:25:02[IDC]DragonMAS and tuner shoudn't matter at boot time
22:25:24amiconn(because then the strange behaviour is caused by some init rockbox does)
22:25:34[IDC]Dragonthe rolo'ed version is different from the real ROM one
22:25:58amiconn[IDC]Dragon: If you try the SP image on fm, chances are that it hangs on boot with both firmwares
22:26:20[IDC]DragonI can uart-boot
22:26:50[IDC]Dragonin fact, I have to, because the plugin won't let me use the wrong one
22:26:55amiconn...because the MAS init tries to start the decoding application, but the MAS memory cells to do so have different addresses. So the init waits forever
22:28:04[IDC]Dragonok, so it may hang. was just a suggestion to ease you.
22:28:06amiconnIf possible, just try RoLo into archos fw
22:28:59[IDC]DragonI'll try, but fail to see why this is comforting or not
22:29:36amiconnBtw: I just found a way to speed up mmc writing by 50%, while still polling. Unfortunately this doesn't work for reading, have to implement DMA for speedup
22:29:56[IDC]Dragonwhoo, how?
22:30:15amiconnSending back-to-back by properly switching the SCI mode
22:30:45amiconnI did already perform a quick test, the 50% are real-world, no estimation
22:31:13[IDC]Dragonbut you have a poll loop, with a certain reaction time?
22:31:20uskiooo interesting: it seems to be possible to add a tuner to the SP model, simply by soldering some components
22:31:43amiconnYes, but for sending, I can use the double-buffering of the SCI if it is set to send-only
22:32:25amiconnSo the transfer-loop housekeeping is done in the background, while the last byte is still transferring
22:33:14[IDC]Dragonnice
22:33:50amiconnJust optimizing a bit further (remembering the last status to avoid switching it every time)
22:34:27amiconnMaybe I don't need DMA for writing at all
22:34:48[IDC]Dragonif you do back to back already, then no
22:36:22amiconnI'm now pretty close to the theoretical max speed for writing. Theory says < ~350 kByte/s, real world is now ~330 kByte/s
22:36:43[IDC]Dragonfor readig, the bitswap loop may poll the DMA pointer, running behind it, for minimum latency.
22:36:58[IDC]Dragon(sorry if you already said that)
22:37:06amiconnAh, nice idea.
22:37:31amiconnMy idea so far was to follow the block count, swapping each block as soon as it is completed
22:38:09[IDC]Dragonfor multiples, yes, also possible
22:38:32[IDC]Dragonbut gives a 1 sector swap latency at the end
22:38:48amiconnYour approach might deliver the lowest latency, but the block-wise approach may even allow to yield() once
22:39:01amiconnSo it's not blocking the whole box
22:40:32[IDC]Dragonrolo'ing Archos s/w hangs at about 60% of its progress bar
22:40:59amiconnOoops. This is different from the SP.
22:41:05[IDC]Dragonhow about one yield() and then running behind the DMA?
22:41:36amiconnI could also yield every time the bitswap has catched up
22:41:53amiconns/catched/caught/
22:42:12[IDC]Dragonbut that may happen close before the end
22:42:36amiconnOr even better, yield every time the bitswap has caught up, but only if > n bytes to go
22:43:08[IDC]Dragonhmm
22:43:57amiconnProblem: The DMA is chunked into block size anyway, with some necessary polling inbetween
22:44:12[IDC]DragonI think if we do it at the start, we're more sure to reach it again at the end, then stick as close as possible
22:44:25[IDC]Dragondo the uncertain part first
22:45:12[IDC]Dragonwhat block size do you have in mind?
22:45:35amiconnYes, but a complete transfer might run for several seconds. Just yielding once would not help much
22:45:35amiconnThe block size is fixed, 512 bytes
22:45:35[IDC]Dragonah, Ok, I was thinking in sectors
22:45:52[IDC]Dragonhuh?

22:46:25[IDC]Dragonif you do multi-block, it can be quite long?
22:46:32[IDC]Dragonin one go
22:46:49[IDC]Dragonwith no further command
22:46:59amiconnEach data block comes in with a start byte in front, which has to be polled for (worst case: 10 ms with the internal flash), the 512 bytes of data, then 2 bytes crc
22:47:51amiconnMulti-block transfer is unlimited with MMC, you send a start command, and the card starts transferring block after block until you send a stop command (reading) or a stop token (writing)
22:48:00[IDC]Dragonok. Then we can poll for start, set the DMA, yield, run behind bitswapping.
22:48:15[IDC]Dragonsequence repeats for each sector

22:49:12uskihave a nice technical talk ;)
22:49:39amiconnFor sector-wise, I think its better to use this sequence: poll for start, set DMA, bitswap previous block, yield, wait for end of DMA
22:50:38amiconnIf the thread itself should do the run-behind bitswap continuously, the poll-for-next would have to be done in the ISR
