09:05:52Zagori just noticed the iriver supports 38 languages! impressive.
09:06:00LinusNwow
09:06:27Zagorand I found the menu :)
09:07:18dwihnoJust for fun, perhaps the comparison table should be updated with the iriver fw features as well?
09:07:47Zagorsure, why not
09:09:15ZagorBagder: I got >10MB/s when copying
09:11:59dwihnoWhen I copy to/from my archos, ~15 megs is not unusual
09:12:14dwihnobut on the other hand, it's a different kind of disk :)
09:13:32 Join AciD [0] (~gni@acid.user)
09:16:31ZagorLinusN: i found a scroll setting, so you can actually get a "proper" right->left scroll. terribly slow though.
09:33:11LinusNimpressive :-)
09:47:28Zagorthe iriver resume is not mid-song
09:47:47Zagorbut the remote control can power-on the unit. that's very nice.
09:52:19SeedZagor: what iRiver model is that?
09:53:10LinusNH140
09:53:14Zagorhmm, the remote "wps" shows folder name and song name, not artist. can't seem to be changed either.
09:53:34LinusNyou can't even name the radio stations :-(
09:53:39Zagor!
09:53:57LinusNbut the radio reception is quite good, better than the archos fmrec
09:54:23Zagorok. i understand the archos fm reception wasn't much to write home about?
09:54:30LinusNnope
09:55:07LinusNso "better than fmrec" doesn't really say much :-)
09:56:11LinusNnow that i have a H140, i have actually tried to use it
09:56:21BagderZagor: ok, so there's something fishy with my usb as I used it
09:56:25LinusNand the ui drives me nuts
09:56:30BagderLinusN: indeed
09:56:36ZagorBagder: yes
09:56:36Bagderit is totally crap
09:57:20LinusNBagder: usb problems?
09:57:37BagderI got 1.1 speeds
09:57:52Bagderwhile my ports are supposed to be 2.0
09:58:02LinusNoh
09:58:32LinusNkernel version?
09:58:40Bagder2.6.5
09:58:42LinusNusb in-kernel or as modules?
09:58:47Bagdermodules
09:59:00Zagor2.6.8 and built-in here
09:59:02LinusN2.6.5? you're a true caveman... :-)
09:59:16Bagderhaha
10:00
10:00:17Zagorusb 1-5: new high speed USB device using address 5
10:00:42BagderI would be surprised if the kernel version is the explanation
10:00:46Zagorme too
10:01:14LinusNexcept for the zero-packet corruption problem...
10:01:23Zagorusb2 has been working since 2.4.20 or thereabout
10:01:24LinusNbut maybe that doesn't apply here
10:01:32Bagderzero-packet corruption?
10:02:07ZagorLinusN: no it doesn't. the bug is that the error isn't noticed...
10:02:42LinusNBagder: http://www.rockbox.org/irc/rockbox-20041201.txt
10:03:10ZagorBagder: apparently, sometimes the iriver sends a zero-length packet back, which the linux usb stack wasn't prepared for. in 2.4 it resulted in an i/o error, but in 2.6 (<2.6.9) it was silently ignored.
10:03:14LinusNZagor: and i think it only applied to the actual data transfers
10:03:20Bagderaha
10:03:36Bagderhaven't bit me
10:03:38ZagorLinusN: yes
10:03:43ZagorBagder: how would you know :)
10:03:53Bagdernot that I've noticed at least
10:04:39LinusNBagder: i assume you have tried all combinations of poweron-before-insert, insert-before-poweron etc
10:04:44Bagderno
10:04:50BagderI haven't investigated much
10:05:13BagderI'll try more later on
10:11:31LinusNthe iriver is special, since the ISD300 is powerless until the usb is inserted

13:09:10Bagderyes, I noticed a long spin time when moving in the dir browser
13:09:12ripnetUKi think it happens when you are playing a song, and then browse the tree, but DONT select a track
13:09:19Bagderexactly

13:11:34[IDC]Dragonhi guys, long time no see
13:11:40Bagderhi Jörg
13:12:10[IDC]DragonI noticed this is iriver irc now ;-/
13:13:01Zagorwell, new toys naturally means chatting
13:13:32[IDC]Dragonhehe, yes
13:14:27LinusN[IDC]Dragon: you're welcome to join the iriver club
13:14:38[IDC]Dragoni once had such an iriver in my hands, in the shop
13:15:12[IDC]Dragonin real world, the quality appearance was much less than the pictures suggested
13:15:46ripnetUKi thought the build quality of iRiver kicks ass compared to archos
13:15:54ripnetUKat least recorder 20 era archos
13:15:59amiconnLinusN: Any chance that you do some tests on your comparatively boooring old player? Sorry for pestering you over and over, but I really want to get this out of the door.
13:16:22amiconnThere was another request for player flashing in the forum today...
13:17:03[IDC]Dragonhow about releasing it for new players meanwhile?
13:17:16ZagorripnetUK: I agree, there is definitely a more solid feel to the iriver than my archos rec20
13:18:18[IDC]DragonLinusN: i agree that I should join
13:18:27LinusNamiconn: i'd like to do that too, but i haven't had a chance to do anything rockbox related for a long time
13:18:47[IDC]Dragonjust so littly time these days
13:18:53ripnetUKthe remote control is something else (in a good way)... really cant wait for custom WPS on that :)
13:19:03amiconn[IDC]Dragon: I need to add the hd power probing to the bootloader... and need info for that on how veryoldplayers behave (those that don't have hd power control)
13:19:08Bagderthe remote is *kewl*
13:19:20Zagoryeah
13:19:30amiconnLinus is the only person I know of who has a ver 3.x player...
13:19:48ripnetUKI used to nearly fall off my bike changing tracks on the ARchos, having the remote is a real bonus

13:20:30amiconnZagor: nice to know, perhaps you could help with the testing?
13:20:41Bagdernow where in the kernel menuconfig do I enable udev?
13:21:00amiconnripnetUK: There is an Archos remote too...
13:22:12ripnetUKrotfl... i had the archos remote
13:22:46ripnetUKwas the biggest pile of **** ive ever had... it required its own power source, was made very cheeply (had to resolder the connections several times)
13:23:01[IDC]DragonLinusN: no EL backlight here yet, should I worry?
13:23:25amiconnripnetUK: It works ok for me. I once had one, then lost it. Got another one from ebay recently
13:23:33ripnetUKand there was no key-click to feedback that the unreliable buttons had actually registered
13:23:45ripnetUK(and of course no display)
13:23:55ZagorBagder: udev is user-space. it get info from /sys and the hotplug system
13:24:11Bagderah
13:24:24ZagorBagder: so you need CONFIG_HOTPLUG and CONFIG_SYSFS
13:24:26LinusN[IDC]Dragon: not yet
13:24:55Zagoramiconn: i'm up for testing, time permitting
13:24:58BagderZagor: ok, those I have
13:25:03ripnetUKjust out of interest, why do people continue to compile stuff directly into the kernel instead of using modules?
13:25:28Zagorbecause modules are a pain to configure?
13:25:39amiconnZagor: Basically I need 2 tests on the oldplayer. One is very easy, just running a test plugin and report the result. This is for checking the hd power control probing
13:26:03Zagornah, that's not entirely fair. personally it's more of a habit thing.
13:26:31Zagoramiconn: unfortunately I don't have the player here. it's at home.

14:06:22BagderI don't think so
14:06:31Bagdernot for this at least
14:06:38dwihnoWell, at least, you got a shiny new kernel :D
14:06:40Bagderthe zero read would be a reason though
14:07:37[IDC]DragonLinusN: r u there?
14:09:07LinusNyup
14:10:03[IDC]DragonI was thinking a bit about what "playback system we'd need"
14:10:23LinusN???
14:10:26[IDC]Dragonoops, quote error above
14:10:47[IDC]Dragonto be prepared for multiple codecs
14:12:17LinusNi and zagor have discussed this
14:12:36LinusNwe will need a pcm playback engine, much like the one we have now for mp3 data
14:12:53LinusNand then a codec API that looks pretty much like your mp3 api
14:13:38***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
14:15:30dwihnoso what will you use the immense 16 meg buffer for? :)
14:15:41LinusNmp3 data
14:15:52Zagordwihno: 32 meg
14:15:55LinusNand it will be more like 30meg
14:15:58dwihnoZagor: 32?!?!?
14:16:01Zagoryup
14:16:02dwihnowhoa
14:16:13dwihnoYou can listen to music for AGES without a spinup
14:16:19Zagoryup
14:16:22dwihnoSo how does the iriver firmware utilize the extra buffer?
14:16:36Zagor38 languages ;)
14:16:37dwihnois it rockbox-smart, or just plain stupid? :)
14:16:41dwihno;)
14:16:52Zagorhard to say without extensive analysis
14:17:02dwihnoWell, play some songs and listen for spinups
14:17:18Zagorfor half an hour? no thanks...
14:17:22dwihnohe
14:17:27dwihnoperhaps not :)
14:17:38dwihnohow much time will it take to buffer ~30 megs?
14:17:52dwihnoI was going to say: "bitswap" as well ;)
14:18:16Zagorit seems the disk is pretty fast (since I got >10MB/s over usb) so I don't think it will take too long
14:18:39dwihnoreally, really nice
14:19:02dwihnohow about the battery issue? is it possible to buy replacement cells?
14:20:06LinusNyes, but they are quite expensive afaik
14:20:49ripnetUKthe iRiver firmware accesses the disk after each song, so its not 'rockbox smart'
14:21:04ripnetUKi suspect most of the 32meg is wasted
14:22:48Zagorhow silly
14:23:10 Quit leety-aravil ()
14:23:33[IDC]DragonLinusN: sorry, I got distracted
14:24:03[IDC]DragonI'm trying to squeeze out the bitswap
14:24:24[IDC]Dragonright now it's done across all buffered data
14:24:33ripnetUKsurely there will come a point when its not worth filling the entire buffer, as im sure a lot of users are like me and rarely listen to the songs in their order, skipping (say) every other one
14:24:35Zagor$29: http://www.pdainternalbattery.com/irivermp3battery.html
14:24:47[IDC]Dragonbut in fact, the bitswap is more a problem of the SPI output
14:25:06[IDC]Dragonit doesn't match the codec scheme
14:25:09ZagorripnetUK: but since we can load 5-6 songs, it's still worth buffering them
14:25:28[IDC]Dragonand prevents/obstructs parsing in the buffered data
14:26:43[IDC]Dragonone reason why we have no audible FF/FR as of now
14:26:55amiconn[IDC]Dragon: That adds to the reasons why the swap should be done at the moment the data is needed, and not at load. I will try to play a bit with mas assembler. Maybe pcm playback is possible on the archos...
14:27:26LinusNamiconn: pcm playback is very much possible
14:27:30[IDC]Dragonamiconn: you don't have to try
14:27:44amiconn???
14:27:46[IDC]Dragonwe have the MAS code for it
14:27:56LinusN[IDC]Dragon: no we don't
14:27:57amiconnThat one is very limited.
14:28:08[IDC]Dragonbut no documentation nor clearance from Archos yet
14:28:14LinusNthe code we have doesn't work on our hardware
14:28:28amiconn(1) It only does 44.1 kHz 16 bit stereo (2) it needs parallel input
14:28:44[IDC]Dragonto my input, it should do serial as well
14:28:55[IDC]Dragonagain, docs are missing
14:28:56amiconnIf you simply change this to serial, we'd need SIBI control -> Ondio only
14:29:14[IDC]Dragonno, we don't need sibi for that
14:29:51amiconnIirc, the mas knows 2 modes of serial data input, bitstream and word. For word input, it needs SIBI control

14:39:07Zagoryeah
14:39:09LinusNyup
14:39:13MisticJeffNoticed you were talking about replacement batteries.
14:39:41dwihnoI did
14:39:53dwihnoTell me, are they hard to get?

14:40:18leety-aravilthx
14:40:31Zagordwihno: did you miss my link?
14:40:49MisticJeffThere is a company in Germany that makes a 1900mAh Li Ion Polymer battery that fits perfectly and gives 29hr playback times on 128kbps mp3 files
14:41:01Zagoryay
14:41:09Zagorgot a link?
14:41:13MisticJeffthe link Zagor gave is for a standard OEM replacment battery
14:41:41MisticJeffunfortunately that company lost its investors and went insolvent about 1 month ago
14:41:52MisticJeffand with a couple hundred dollars of my money
14:42:33Zagor:(
14:42:39MisticJeffonce they find new investors i'll be purchasing the batteries and selling them at MisticRiver. They will retail for approx. $39US
14:42:58ripnetUKmistic - put me down for one of them :)
14:43:14dwihnoZagor: probably
14:43:21MisticJeffYou can figure OGG files at Q7/192kbps with 18hr runtimes
14:43:39MisticJeffooppsss... Q6
14:43:57dwihnoWith rockbox buffring, there wil be 40 hour playtime \o/ :)
14:44:53MisticJeffabsolutely!! those guesstimates are with the current firmware, actually there were some test done by a German user and he achieved the 29hr results
14:45:02ripnetUKthe default battary for iRiver is very good indeed... ive never had it crap out on me. My old Archos used to die half way there on a certain journey, whereas the iriver lasted all the way there, and back and still has 2 bars :)
14:45:52MisticJeffBetter run and let the boys get back to work... ;-)

21:20:01amiconnHmm. Testing on 4.13 would still make sense: This one *should* have ata power control, but still old lcd.
21:20:49Zagorok
21:21:29amiconnThe lcd test however requires flashable rom, or uart boot mod (and a windows box, since noone adapted uart_boot to Linux)

22:15:44amiconnre hi to Hanover!
22:15:55[IDC]Dragon\o/
22:16:31amiconnI just polished the bootloader a bit (all hex values for registers match register width, plus "code police" work)
22:17:15[IDC]Dragonyou may be the first
22:17:31[IDC]DragonI don't know if I wrote it to Rockbox rules
22:17:36amiconnI wonder whether it would be a good idea to change the port manipulations to only affect the low/high byte where possible
22:17:56[IDC]Dragonmakes it smaller, yes
22:18:10[IDC]Dragon(if byte accessible)
22:18:51amiconnP?DR and P?IOR are always byte accessible, used frequently in rockbox
22:19:19[IDC]Dragonand frequently as bytes, yes
22:20:15 Quit AciD (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
22:22:23amiconnIf I change the bootloader that way, do you think the bootloader version should be bumped?
22:22:57amiconn(And then the question arises how to test it)
22:23:04[IDC]DragonI would only bump it if we do a release
22:23:17[IDC]Dragonwhich I woudn't do as of now
22:23:41amiconnOkay. I can test on the player of course
22:23:44[IDC]Dragonfor Player, it'll be version 1, like Ondio

22:24:17[IDC]Dragonthe recorder models still have the "old" bootloader, without a version stamp
22:24:53[IDC]Dragonbut since we have no new features in there, why bother people
22:25:12amiconnYeah, I thought so.
22:26:01amiconnDoes the make_firmware tool fit the first image directly behind the loader, or is the first image also flash sector aligned?
22:26:10[IDC]Dragonno "daily build" of the bootloader
22:26:24[IDC]Dragonfirst image is directly behind
22:26:58[IDC]Dragonto save some space
22:27:11[IDC]Dragonand not meant to be changed
22:27:22amiconnAh. Next question: How many bytes do we need to "conserve" in order to get one more free flash sector for Ondio FM?
22:27:38*[IDC]Dragon looks
22:27:52[IDC]Dragon(I doubt it's close)
22:28:14amiconnMaybe we are lucky...
22:29:36[IDC]Dragonfirmware_ondiofm.bin ends at 0x15BCF
22:29:47[IDC]Dragonfar from reach
22:30:20[IDC]Dragoncan you save 3 KB? ;-)
22:30:41amiconnWith the bootloader being ~1.6 KB in total ;(
22:30:50[IDC]Dragoncompress it!
22:33:12amiconnSame question for FM recorder?

22:46:29amiconn[IDC]Dragon: The rombox build doesn't take the NO_ROM versions into account. Do the images for the no_rom version end at the same flash sector as the ordinary ones?
22:47:10[IDC]Dragonby chance, they do
22:47:26[IDC]Dragonbecause the images differ only slightly in size
22:47:33amiconnphew
22:47:36[IDC]Dragon(iirc)
22:49:03amiconnCould you check (for the rombox-able platforms that can have no_rom variants)?
22:50:44[IDC]DragonV1 recorders are OK
22:51:07[IDC]Dragonthose are the only ones I saw romless, in the wild
22:51:19amiconnBtw: How do you tell (from the pcb), whether a no_rom variant could exist?
22:51:32[IDC]Dragonbut the PCBs are prepared for others, too
22:52:31[IDC]Dragonthe chip selects for rom and flash region can be wire-ORed towards the flash chip, with a double diode
22:53:11[IDC]Dragonand one of the mode pins tells the CPU whether to use region 0 externally
22:53:35[IDC]Dragonso this pin has pullup or pulldown
22:54:01[IDC]Dragonthe double diode is nomally bridged with 0 ohm
22:54:12[IDC]Dragonfor the flash select only
22:54:21amiconnJust wanted to ask that :)
22:54:45amiconnDid you check the player and Ondio pcbs already?
22:55:07[IDC]DragonFM/V2 and ondio, yes
22:55:24[IDC]Dragonhave a look at my odio in the wiko
22:55:49[IDC]Dragonthe pic with the LCD away
22:56:17[IDC]Dragonthe (missing) double diode is close to the upper right of the CPU
22:56:40[IDC]Dragonthe 3 pads
22:56:57[IDC]Dragonwith 2 of them bridged by a 0 ohm resistor
22:57:36[IDC]Dragongot it?
22:59:17amiconnThe zero-r is a little above the 3 pads, right?
22:59:30[IDC]Dragonyes
23:00
23:00:09[IDC]DragonI had my FM modded with this diode
23:00:34[IDC]Dragonby pulling down the mode pin, I could make it appear romless
23:00:55[IDC]Dragonand test the boot loader
23:01:18amiconnAh, the mode switch pads are at the far upper left of the Ondio pcb, correct?
23:01:35[IDC]DragonI haven't checked
23:01:45amiconn(top & left of that 4-pin smd device)
23:05:54amiconnThe player cpu is at the wrong side of its pcb to check this without dissecting the pcb sandwich :(
23:06:49[IDC]DragonI won't worry about romless players unless we see one
23:07:15amiconnOkay. The plugin should refuse to flash, as there is no correct image, right?
23:08:16[IDC]Dragonjust checked my wreck: no such provision to be seen
23:08:38[IDC]Dragonthe plugin would prompt for a _norom image
23:08:53amiconn(no provision) good :)
23:09:14[IDC]Dragonbut my recorder also has none
23:09:35[IDC]Dragonand still, such other beasts exits
23:09:37amiconnHmm.
23:10:29amiconnBtw: I was an early user of your flash package with my recorder. I even flashed the one that changed the ROM version to 2.00
23:10:42[IDC]Dragonmy girlfriend had one, the PCB looked completely different, with a *huge* thick CPU chip
23:11:18amiconnNow my rom version is still off compared to the old state (Iirc I had 1.26 before, now I have 1.28). No ill side effects though

23:11:40[IDC]Dragonis that address read by Archos?
23:12:22[IDC]Dragon1.28 is good, it matched your new Archos image
23:12:49[IDC]Dragonthe number is not preserved, unlike the mask
23:13:26amiconnThe number is preserved with your newer flash plugins, iirc?
23:13:41[IDC]Dragonno, only the mask
23:13:45amiconnIt definitely needs to be preserved on the player
23:14:02[IDC]Dragonfor players, it's the version which is saved
23:14:17amiconnYes, ok.
23:14:47amiconnThe archos disk update version doesn't check the version. I don't know about the flash image
23:14:52amiconn(recorder)
23:22:37amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Changing the P(A|B)(B|IO)R access to bytes alone does save very little (2 bytes for the high bytes, and nothing for the low bytes). Using the and_b / or_b macros would save more.
23:23:07[IDC]DragonI thought that's what you meant
23:23:31[IDC]Dragonbut it requires to set the basse
23:23:49amiconnYup
23:24:17[IDC]Dragonmaybe not everybody likes it (Archos image)
23:24:50[IDC]Dragonhow about leaving it as it was
23:25:03[IDC]Dragon(sorry)
23:25:32[IDC]Dragonno gain, no pain
23:26:20amiconnYes, maybe (although archos image shouldn't be confused. Archos works fine when rolo'ed from rockbox, which sets GBR to 0)
23:33:22amiconnI still get button glitches on the player, even with filtering. :-( Maybe this is because of the wires attached though.
23:34:02[IDC]Dragonhmm, no idea
23:44:08amiconnZagor: still there?
23:45:04Zagorhere again

23:46:34amiconn[IDC]Dragon: yes. The cheapest I could find is 109,- € (yagma.com)
23:47:33[IDC]Dragonare you becoming a collector, or are you unhappy with yours?
23:48:00amiconnNo. This one is not for dev purposes. Of course it will get rockbox installed
23:48:23[IDC]Dragonxmas?
23:48:27amiconnyup
23:48:32[IDC]Dragonah
23:49:28[IDC]Dragonare Ondios becoming rare now, too?
23:50:26amiconnMaybe, although the vendor that currently offers one on eBay germany even says "Neuheit" (!)
23:51:26*[IDC]Dragon spots a lot of code policing
23:51:55amiconnThe bad thing is that you can't tell whether you will get one with a philips or a samsung tuner.
23:52:26[IDC]Dragonthe new ones are most likely Philips
23:52:39[IDC]Dragon(I guess)
