00:08:42preglowBagder: you should change your nick for simplicity
00:10:05Bagder:-)
00:10:16BagderI've used this nick for almost 20 years now
00:10:24amiconnCassandra_: My comments on your patch: (1) I have to agree with Bagder, this mixes firmware and app level (started_from_rtc variable)
00:10:31preglowso you agree it's time for change? :P
00:10:57amiconn(2) The alarm flag is read only, you can't reset it by writing the data back with the flag reset.
00:12:51Cassandra_The first I fixed by making rtc_init return the value.
00:13:04Cassandra_I'll take out the redundant code in that case.

00:13:15preglowwould you care to share the procedure?
00:13:36Bagderhang on
00:13:55Bagder(I haven't linked with it yet)
00:14:07preglownono, but just building a lib is more than i managed, hehe
00:14:47Bagderhttp://daniel.haxx.se/mad-rockbox.txt
00:15:34Cassandra_Right, suppose I'd better test this again, just to make sure it still works.
00:16:05amiconnCassandra_: If you return the value from rtc_init(), how do you store it? It is needed later, and in another place than the rtc_init() call takes place.
00:16:25Cassandra_In a global bool.
00:16:31amiconnI checked the datasheet, the alarm flag resets itself as soon as the flags register is read.
00:16:45Cassandra_That's good.
00:17:11preglowbut yes, now for supporting the emac stuff, which will be more than enough fun, since gcc almost certainly doesn't know about the four accumulator registers
00:17:34Bagderno it doesn't
00:17:51amiconnI think a separate function for checking the flag would be more straightforward than a global bool. Plus, since the flag resets itself after being read once, there's no need to reset a separate variable.

00:18:40amiconnCassandra_: Btw, your work is the first step towards a recording timer...
00:19:08Cassandra_True - cool
00:20:29Cassandra_Actually I think that's fairly trivially implementable in combination with the "start in recording screen" option.
00:21:10amiconn:)
00:21:35amiconnThe function to check for powerup from alarm can be written as a one-liner:
00:21:50amiconnbool started_from_alarm(void)
00:21:50amiconn{
00:21:50amiconn return (rtc_read(0x0f) & 0x40) != 0;
00:21:50DBUGEnqueued KICK amiconn
00:21:50amiconn}
00:22:44Cassandra_You're allowed to call rtc_ functions from the app, right.
00:22:51Cassandra_Well, of course you are, doh.
00:22:59amiconnyup.
00:23:10Cassandra_OK. Means you don't need the global var either.
00:23:32Cassandra_Excuse me while I go implement starting recording from RTC alarm.
00:24:11Bagderpreglow: I tried 'make install' too after that command and it runs fine, making it easier to build rockbox with it later
00:24:29preglowindeed
00:28:17amiconnCassandra_: "Start in recording screen" + "wakeup alarm" => timer recording
00:28:25amiconn?
00:30:17Cassandra_Exactly
00:30:38Cassandra_Just need to add a little patch to the recording screen code.
00:34:43amiconnBagder: What means: "make[2]: *** No rule to make target `<<<<<<<', needed by `/home/Administrator/rb-patched/build/fmrecorder/dep-plugins'. Stop." ?
00:35:11amiconnThis happens when I "make clean"
00:35:21preglowhaha
00:35:26Bagderremove the dep-plugins file
00:35:43Cassandra_Damn - I need the state twice. Better to use a static in rtc_check_alarm_started to remember state, or use a global to hold it once it's been read?
00:36:10amiconnWhy do you need it twice?
00:36:27Cassandra_Once to make sure I don't resume, once to start recording.
00:36:44amiconn???
00:37:09Cassandra_Sorry,
00:37:37Cassandra_Once to make sure I don't ask the user whether to resume , once to start recording without user intervention.
00:37:42amiconnI thought your start-in-recording-screen first checks whether recording screen should be started or normal browser+resume check
00:38:23amiconnYes, but you only need either one or the other check per each boot, never both
00:38:25Cassandra_Nope, resume can override start in recording screen.
00:38:33Cassandra_That seemed like the right way round to do it.
00:39:17amiconnReally? That way, the "start in recording screen" wouldn't do anything good for me in >90% of all cases.
00:39:40Cassandra_You have resume = yes?
00:40:07amiconnNo, I have resume = ask, but I practically always have a stored resume position.
00:40:36Cassandra_If you say "no" to resume, it drops into the recording screen.
00:41:37amiconnAh ok. Still, for timer recording, this wouldn't do anything useful, because with you resume-from-alarm patch it would always resume playback without asking you
00:41:52Cassandra_I thought it best not to have "start in recording screen" disable resume functionality.
00:42:43amiconnIt would have to if started from alarm and "start in recording screen" is on.
00:43:33Cassandra_Well yes, resume functionality is overriden when starting from alarm.
00:43:48amiconnYes, that's exactly what I mean.
00:43:53Cassandra_But in order to do that, you have to check to see whether you're starting from alarm.
00:44:22Cassandra_So you need two checks - once to avoid the resume code, and once to start recording.
00:44:23amiconnYou can still do it the other way round.
00:45:05amiconnOn boot, first check whether "start in recording screen" is enabled
00:45:06Cassandra_I don't see how that would help.
00:45:49Cassandra_Oh, I see, yes. Good plan.
00:45:54amiconnIf yes, then check for startup-from alarm, and if again yes, start the recording screen with a parameter that tells it to start recording immediately
00:46:45amiconnIf the latter says no, then continue with normal resume, and if no resume, then call recording screen
00:47:14Cassandra_Ah, that'd involve calling the recording screen from two different points in the code.
00:47:33Cassandra_I could just be being dense, but I think it'd screw up the execution flow.
00:48:46amiconnIf you do it the other way, i.e. first call the resume check, the resume check would need to take the start-in-recording-screen setting into account, which is also not very logical
00:49:47***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:49:56Cassandra_Sorry, I really am lost now. I don't think so, but I'm too confused to work it out. Sorry.
00:50:25Cassandra_The program flow around startup is pretty nightmarish.
00:51:03amiconnThat's because the resume check would need to differentiate 4 conditions
00:51:25amiconn(1) Not started from alarm, and not start-in-rec-screen: Normal resume request.
00:51:33Cassandra_At the moment, the only logic I need in the resume check is whether or not it's started from rtc.
00:51:53Cassandra_Oh, hold on. I think I'm getting ther.
00:52:01amiconn(2) Started from alarm, not start-in-rec-screen: Resume unconditionally.
00:52:36amiconn(3) Not started from alarm, start-in-rec-screen: Normal resume request, if not resumed, drop to recording screen
00:52:39CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
00:52:39*Cassandra_ nods.
00:53:01amiconn(4) Start from alarm, start-in-rec-screen: Start recording screen & recording immediately.
00:53:19Cassandra_So you'd suggest changing the logic so that "start in record" overrides resume?
00:53:19Quel|awayif i can give my opinion, i'm with amiconn
00:53:36Cassandra_Yeah, he's right. I was just being dense.
00:53:37amiconnYou see, you'll always have two places from where to call the recording screen
00:54:11amiconnANd you'll always have to check started-from alarm only once.
00:54:40amiconn(using a 4-way if-else construct for the 4 possibilities mentioned above)
00:55:08amiconnThere are different ways to implement this though
00:55:22Cassandra_Yeah. I think I'll leave it for tonight.
00:55:35Cassandra_I need to think more about it.
00:56:36amiconnAnd: I have to agree, the startup is nightmarish.
00:56:57Quel|awayi suppose you have to check first of all a *start from alarm* and later on *start in rec screen*
00:57:15Quel|awayjust my opinion
00:57:16Quel|away:)
00:57:22amiconnThe order of these checks doesn't matter
00:57:52Quel|awayof course
00:58:03Quel|awaybut i like it that way :D
00:58:05amiconnIf you do it the other way round, you'll have 2 places where the check function is called, but only one would get executed per boot
00:59:18cYmenwhich jukeboxes have a built in micro again?
00:59:44amiconncYmen: All recorders have that

02:00:19cYmenfirst you talk to the docs then to some tutorials and when you ve become part of the dev team - to yourself :)
02:00:42sdbarkerI should have worded that differently...
02:00:58sdbarkerI read in one of the email list threads, which I can't find now, that somebody had already started on it.
02:01:06cYmenyeah it sounded a bit demanding ;)

02:40:04lostlogicbah, just took me 3 tries to get my change in the wiki adding more info about the Vorbis codec right. why is it vorbis.com and not org?
02:43:12zewhy is it oggenc and not vorbisenc and vorbiscomment and not oggcomment
02:43:48lostlogicze: to give you something to ask questions about.
02:43:57zethem vorbis folk seem to make some odd choices
02:43:58zeheh
02:44:20lostlogicze: hehe, it makes little sense to me, because supposedly ogg is a container (has comments and streams) and vorbis is a stream (needs encoding)
02:44:21lostlogicblah.
02:44:33zevorbis is the actual audio codec
02:44:39lostlogicright
02:44:49zeogg can contain any kind of media, whatever audio or video codec
02:44:56zesorta like avi can

02:44:59zeheh
02:45:05lostlogicor so they say
02:45:06lostlogic:)
02:45:33zethere's divx rips out there in ogg
02:45:42lostlogicooh, I'd like to see that :)
02:45:55zealthough a bunch of misguided people have been naming video oggs .ogm
02:46:15zeto distinguish them from audio .ogg's
02:46:22lostlogic*rolleyes*
02:46:24zewhich does make some sense but *shrug*
02:46:29ashridahze: .ogm is a container formate similar to .avi last i heard
02:46:35ashridah.ogg is an audio codec
02:46:39zeno
02:46:40lostlogicashridah: no.
02:46:41lostlogicyou are wrong
02:46:42zevorbis is the audio codec
02:46:45lostlogicyou missed the discussion above
02:46:57*ashridah colours himself corrected
02:47:00zeheh
02:47:02lostlogic:-D
02:47:26zebut yeah are the comments held by the ogg file? i would imagine
02:47:36zeor are they part of the codec (would be strange)
02:47:36zeheh
02:47:39lostlogicthat's why the codec as listed on the rockbox wiki is 'OGG/Vorbis' to indicate ogg files containing vorbis streams... kinda like GNU/Linux or something of the sort but different
02:47:46zeheh
02:47:52lostlogicze: hmm, lemme take a look
02:48:22zecause ya know if the ogg container held the comments, then 'oggenc' and 'vorbiscomment' are really exactly backwards
02:48:25zeheh
02:48:53zewhich, i dunno, maybe there's something intentional to that
02:49:48***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
02:50:19lostlogicafaics, the ogg container holds a comment section and then a vorbis stream section (which is prefixed amazingly by the ascii characters v o r b i s :-D
02:50:29zeheh
02:50:46zeso maybe the whole vorbis.com thing is a part of a greater backwards theme
02:51:08Quel|awaybye!
02:51:09lostlogicxiph.org is the parent 'company' and vorbis.com is the opensource portion?
02:51:11lostlogiclater

02:51:52ashridahprobably to protect against domain squatters
02:51:58lostlogicnod
02:52:05zeyeah but why not use vorbis.org at all?
02:52:13zei mean not even point it to the same place as vorbis.com
02:52:26zeya know google's got google.org and google.com and they both go the same place
02:52:31zeand theres several others like that
02:52:39ashridahgood question. maybe to distance themselves from the idea that they're an organisation, not a company?
02:52:55zebut xiph.org
02:52:55zeheh
02:53:00ashridahyeah
02:54:05zei think maybe lostlogic is right about .org parent company and .com opensource
02:54:19lostlogicI just think they're nuts.

22:52:14Bagderit feels like a good evening for some good commits! ;-)
22:52:40lImbusyay
22:53:29Bagderit seems Rockbox is almost starting the dir browser fine on the iriver
23:00
23:02:31preglowhow is the bootloader testing coming along, btw? still only linus and his h120, no?
23:02:40Bagderyes
23:03:16Bagderbut I hope for some progress in his end
23:03:36preglowwhat still needs progress?
23:04:17BagderLinus said he tried booting (the real) rockbox
23:04:32Bagderand it showed the logo, the disk spun and
23:04:35preglowyeah, and it crashed, but this shouldn't depend on linus anymore?
23:04:36Bagderthen hung
23:04:47preglowor might this be a bootloader thing?
23:04:48Bagderit is probably an init issue
23:04:52preglowahh
23:05:11preglowyes, it might of course be that
23:05:18preglowis all device init put in the bootloader?
23:05:32Bagderno, it is re-inited by rockbox itself
23:05:44preglowthen why init in the first place?
23:05:47Bagderboth do the same init I think
23:06:22Bagderthe bootloader needs to init all hw to be able to function properly
23:06:46Bagderrockbox could be made to depend on that, but it currently doesn't
23:07:09preglowsmall problem anyway, yes, just an ifdef should do
23:07:47preglowbut this is extremely cool
23:07:54preglowwe're probably not far away from things starting to function
23:08:03Bagdernope
23:08:27preglowdamn, i'm looking forward to having rockbox boot on my player
23:09:07preglowonly depressing thing is that putting proper emac support in mad is probably going to be a bit hairy
23:09:26Bagderyes
23:09:33preglowwithout having hack the code to pieces, that is
23:10:18preglowthe best thing would be to just have another set of defines in fixed.h, but that won't use the unit optimally

23:22:04 Join [IDC]Dragon [0] (~Joerg@pD9512627.dip.t-dialin.net)
23:22:46[IDC]Dragonhi there
23:22:55Bagderhi
23:22:58amiconnhi Jörg
23:23:47[IDC]DragonGerd's charging patch looks promising (without looking into it)
23:24:39Bagdergood to see work happen in that area
23:24:47amiconnHmm, I dunno.
23:25:28[IDC]Dragonit's on my list since a long time, but below "threshold"
23:25:48amiconnI had some ideas for the power management too, but going into a different direction
23:26:03[IDC]DragonI was close to start a wiki document today
23:26:15[IDC]Dragonto collect proposals
23:26:32[IDC]Dragonbut no time, and then came Gerd
23:26:40amiconn- Check power much more frequently than now, at least once per second
23:26:47[IDC]Dragonyes
23:27:12[IDC]Dragonat least in USB mode
23:27:27[IDC]Dragonto detect a spinning disk, if it wasn't us
23:27:30Cassandraamiconn: I'm here, yes.
23:27:31amiconn- Let the power management gather more info about power states, e.g. whether the hd is spinning, whether the backlight is on
23:28:02[IDC]Dragonthat would have been my 2nd stage: try to model the power situation
23:28:09amiconn- The external voltage is also available, so the charging algo could estimate the charging current
23:28:32amiconnCassandra: I know what that "something" in rtc_init() is that resets the alarm flag.
23:28:40[IDC]Dragon1st I would get rid of the startup charging gap, deep discharge, no trickle
23:28:56Bagderyeah, those options don't make much good
23:28:58CassandraOh, right. I hope it made sense to program around it in the way I did.
23:29:02CassandraWhat is it?
23:29:43[IDC]Dragonwe should always start charging, unless we find later it's not necessary
23:29:47amiconnrtc_init() calls rtc_enable_alarm(false); in the end, and this in turn reads the alarm flag, thereby resetting it
23:30:01CassandraOh, right. Of course it does.
23:30:54amiconn[IDC]Dragon: This could be tricky, because charging right away leaves no chance to get the unbiased (by charging current) battery voltage
23:31:20CassandraI couldn't figure out how to do record on power on like we were discussing last night. Feel free to leap in if you can see an obvious way to do it.
23:31:37[IDC]Dragonamiconn, maybe we don't need this
23:32:21amiconn[IDC]Dragon: My idea for the startup is to check voltage first, and enable charging for a short time first (a minute perhaps) only if the voltage is low.
23:32:35[IDC]Dragonwe should calculate the charging current from the DC and battery voltage
23:33:08[IDC]Dragonthen we know how strong we're pulling
23:33:18amiconnYes, but you need the battery voltage without charging current to estimate the battery percentage.
23:33:23Cassandrabtw, speaking of matters power management related, do I misunderstand the code, or could a short idle timeout cause you to lose settings that haven't been flushed to disk (since the idle detection is in firmware and doesn't use the safe shutdown code).
23:33:26[IDC]DragonI'd like to prevent the flat battery problem
23:33:57[IDC]Dragonrather enable charging already in the bootloader
23:34:18amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Yes, that's why I would charge right from the start for a minute or so if the batteries are low, then stop & check voltage.
23:35:09[IDC]Dragonah, ok, but then you've perhaps pulled the cells "above the worst" already
23:35:09amiconnIf battery voltage is high enough, don't enable charging at startup, but immediately calculate battery state, then start charging if needed
23:36:17[IDC]Dragonmeasuring while the HD is spinning may give a good estimation
23:36:25amiconnThe battery voltage with charging current applied doesn't tell you much even when you know the current (by also measuring the input voltage), because you don't know the inner resistance of the cells
23:37:03[IDC]Dragondo you think it greatly varies
23:37:06[IDC]Dragon?
23:37:46amiconnYes,definitely. It's highly dependent on charging state. Furthermore it varies across manufacturers, depending on temperature etc.
23:39:16[IDC]Dragontricky subject
23:39:23amiconnIn fact, I also thought about improving the battery state estimation by also calculating the inner resistance (measuring the delta v caused by a certain delta i)
23:40:12[IDC]DragonI'm not too worried about the gauge
23:40:38[IDC]Dragonthat's 2nd, first I'd like to have a reliable charging
23:41:35[IDC]Dragonour charge current is rather low, we don't need too fancy algorithms like if we'd be a high speed charger
23:41:39amiconnIt's not about the gauge, that's a side effect. It's about the charging algo, since, as Gerd pointed out, the usual delta-v algorithm doesn't work well, because of the variable load
23:42:11[IDC]Dragonif in doubt, charge ;-)
23:42:37amiconnOur charging current is certainly higher than what cell manufacturers would allow as permanent charging current
23:43:20[IDC]Dragongo to trickle after a time/voltage limit or if the filtered voltage doesn't raise any more
23:43:50amiconnHow do you calculate the time?
23:44:23amiconnYou'd need the (net) charging current, the battery capacity, and the current charging state of the cells.
23:44:27[IDC]Dragongot me, most simple by capacity and current
23:44:56[IDC]Dragonapart from the start charge, the got me part
23:45:11amiconnIf the cells are about 80% full, and you feed it another 100%, you definitely overcharge
23:45:36[IDC]Dragonthat's where the no-raise detect comes into play
23:46:08[IDC]Dragonor a cutoff voltage
23:46:17amiconnYes, and that's very problematic in the jukebox environment with its highly variable load, as Gerd pointed out
23:46:53amiconnCutoff voltage doesn't help at all, because the chage-end voltage also varies with temperature
23:47:18amiconn(Much more than it varies with charging state, that's the badness with NiCd/NiMH charging)
23:47:48[IDC]Dragonok, so we need a reliable no-raise detector
23:48:09amiconnBelieve me, I once built a charger that only relied on cutoff voltage, and it charged with 1/5 C only
23:48:40amiconnI almost instantly fried 2 sets of almost-new NiCd cells with it....
23:49:00[IDC]Dragonbad cells
23:49:45amiconnNo, these were branded cells
23:50:00[IDC]Dragonactually, I don't understand why 1/10 C should still be allowed for unlimited time
23:50:19[IDC]Dragonwith the capacity rising to 2500 mAh
23:50:20amiconnNo, it shouldn't, it's too much
23:50:34[IDC]Dragonmake it 1/20 C then
23:50:49amiconnAnd for our charging current to be <= 1/10 C, we would need 3500 mAh cells...
23:51:08[IDC]Dragonmy point is, this goes up with capacity, but the AA size is the same
23:51:23[IDC]Dragonit all has to be dissipated as heat
23:51:59[IDC]Dragonand AA cells started at 500 mAh

23:53:08 Nick amiconn_ is now known as amiconn (~jens@pD95D115B.dip.t-dialin.net)
23:53:47amiconn(1) AA cells started even lower than 500 mAh, I have seen 450 mAh cells (still working btw!)
23:53:58amiconn(2) The heat is only part of the problem
23:54:10Cassandrabtw I sort of figured out two ways to implement concurrent sleep timer and wakeup alarm.
23:54:20CassandraThe problem is they both have drawbacks.

23:55:03Cassandra(1) Defer actually setting the rtc until you power off (eg in safe_shutdown)
23:55:17TrevmarJoerg, did you see the pictures I posted on the Ondio forum today?
23:55:35Cassandra(2) Set immediately but have a watch thread that switches it off if we ever get closer to it than a minute.
23:55:52[IDC]Dragonhi Trevor, yes, nice
23:56:04Cassandrasetting the rtc *alarm*, I mean.
23:56:57Trevmarthe hole in front of the mike makes a big difference :)
23:56:58amiconn[IDC]Dragon: When the cells are full, and you still apply charging current, electrolysis takes place, producing hydrogen and oxygen. This has to be absorbed again by the "charging reserve", otherwise the cell looses electrolyte.
23:57:23amiconnIf the current is too high, this doesn't work fast enough.
23:58:09[IDC]Dragonwe could start to trickle when approaching
23:58:14amiconnCassandra: I would prefer option (1) - much more straight forward

23:58:22Digital007hi
23:58:24[IDC]Dragonso, "high" current to empty cells, less while they fill
23:58:45amiconnCassandra: And, yes, you're right, idle poweroff should also use safe_shutdown() (imho)
