#rockbox log for 2005-02-09

00:00:07amiconnBleeding edge builds are incomplete anyway (no rocks for either Ondio, no gmini, no iriver)
00:00:18Bagdera zip file would fix that
00:00:51linuxstbDamn, found another unbounded malloc - the seek table.
00:00:52Bagdera make zip for every build
00:01:58Bagderhehe, and the player debug bleeding edge file is from april 25 2003 ;-)
00:02:33amiconnrofl
00:03:15lImbushehe
00:04:32HClhehe

00:06:20rashermosaic looks groovy
00:07:19TrevmarI GOT A PROBLEM - the oldest daily build in the archive at rockbox.org that I can access is 9 Jan and the software is already broken by then. I tried to construct a URL for older files and failed. Where do I get the older daily builds from, please???
00:07:43Bagdernowhere
00:07:46Bagderthey're removed
00:08:04Bagderyou build older yourself by checking out older sources
00:08:28Bagdercvs co -D "date" rockbox
00:08:29Bagderiirc
00:10:23TrevmarOK, I didn't change over to the new CVS when you left Sourceforge, so I am way behind on source builds - lazy, I guess.. let me plug away at this because I may be wrong with Jan 9 working - I am looking at it in more detail. I shouldn't jump to conclusions :) Been out of software testing too long, I am afraid...
00:10:42Bagderno worries
00:11:16rasherwhen do the daily builds happen?
00:11:44amiconn6 a.m. CET iirc
00:11:53Trevmarconfirmed - it was broken before Jan 9th - sheez...
00:12:12Bagderok, I modified the bleeding edge builds
00:12:20Bagderand the links to them
00:12:30Bagdernow they're all rockbox.zip
00:12:44amiconnreboot, brb

00:17:44Bagderoops, the description was wrong, fixed now
00:18:57TrevmarOK, I have found that the 23 December OndioFM build is OK with 03 08 units but the Jan 9th build is not seeing the MMC card. It is going to be serious work for me to set up CVS so I can build some more daily builds between that period. Doesn't anybody have a backup or an archive?

00:22:22Trevmarif anybody has any build ZIPs maybe they could email them to me? I can test them pretty quick... (and without risk, 'cos I can always go back to uart_bot LOL)
00:23:08rasherWhat in the world does "xsanke: " mean in the "bounce" plugin?
00:23:21Bagderits a parameter
00:23:43Bagderits a speed for a second sine table, whose data is added to the first
00:24:31Bagdernamed like that as a tribute to the weird person who taught me that trick, many eons ago
00:25:07rasherheh okay
00:26:59rasherit'd be fun (although possibly more draining to the batteries) to be able to use these as actual screen savers
00:27:54BagderI doubt very many would actually want that
00:28:11amiconnHmm, strange. Both recorder and iRiver sim scroll when compiled for X11, however, when compiling Win32 sims, only the recorder sim does scroll...
00:28:13rasherprobably
00:28:49Bagderamiconn: that is mighty strange
00:29:41linuxstbAt what stage does Rockbox read the ID3 tags from a file? Is it when playing starts, or earlier?
00:29:46 Quit midk ("Leaving")
00:29:57Bagderlinuxstb: when it loads the file to ram
00:30:00 Quit Sucka ("( www.nnscript.de :: NoNameScript 3.81 :: www.XLhost.de )")
00:30:36linuxstbBagder: Does it need to read it that early?
00:31:01Bagderyes, in order not to waste battery it reads the data when the disk is already spinning
00:31:15Bagderand then it also has info about next song etc
00:31:46linuxstbIs the next song info displayed (sorry, I haven't used my Archos for a while)

00:32:18Bagderyes, if you use such a WPS-tag
00:33:10 Join izzy [0] (laitinei@huippu.net)
00:33:22amiconn..but the screen update of these is broken, depending on the line type you insert them they may not get updated :(
00:33:33Bagderyes, it still needs improvement
00:33:45Bagderbut that's not limited to next-song
00:33:49linuxstbWith FLAC, the procedure is: init decoder, process file up to end of meta-data, process rest of file, reset decoder ready for next file
00:34:24Bagderamiconn: try a fixed string with "time remaining" appended, long enough to scroll
00:34:27linuxstbSo it looks like I need an efficient way to read the metadata from a FLAC file, without creating a full decoder instance (needing 150K RAM).
00:35:03Bagderthat would be the best, yes
00:41:53Bagdertime to hit bed
00:44:13[IDC]Dragonhere too

08:53:11LinusNhaha
08:53:24midk:)
08:54:42TrevmarOk, I checked, I put -D "20041229" and got 'invalid option −−D'
08:54:53LinusNwhere did you put the -D?
08:54:54midkthat's happened to me before..
08:55:01midkyes, it has to be in a certain place.
08:55:04LinusNit should be after the "co"
08:55:11TrevmarOk, thanks, let me try
08:55:14LinusNor "update" if you did that
08:57:07Trevmarbrilliant, files are being updated. Now my memory is foggy cos last time I used Rock CVS it was stil on sourceforge :( Is there a script to automatically generate the daily build ZIP? or do I have to make and then pick files?
08:57:27LinusN"make zip"
08:57:31Trevmarthanks
08:57:51LinusNyou might need to check out "fonts" as well
08:57:53Trevmarfrom the home/Adminstrator/rockbox directory, I assume?
08:58:15LinusNfrom the dir where you built the firmware
08:58:39TrevmarOk, so I have to build formware first? doesn't make do that?
08:58:57LinusNif you type make without arguments, yes
08:59:21TrevmarOK, so first I will run make w/o args and then make zip OK?
08:59:36LinusNyou need to run the configure script as usual, then build the firmware, then "make zip"
09:00
09:00:31Trevmaroops, forgot configure..let me do that.. make without args builds the firmeare?
09:00:43LinusNyes
09:00:51LinusNmkdir ondio
09:00:54LinusNcd ondio

09:01:06LinusNmake
09:01:07LinusNmake zip
09:01:20Trevmar:)
09:01:26LinusNbut first you should check out the "fonts" module
09:01:38LinusNfrom cvs
09:02:35TrevmarI already have fonts on the boxes I am flashing, will it be OK to ignore updates to them in the last 2 months?
09:02:40LinusN"/home/Administrator"...hehe i wouldn't dare to work logged in as root on my linux box... :-)
09:02:56LinusNthe make zip script needs the fonts
09:03:05Trevmaryes, LOL, I am not a developer, and I won't be using the simulators -LOL
09:03:20TrevmarOK, will get fontd
09:04:41TrevmarOK, CVS gave me fints :)
09:04:49Trevmartypos sheez...
09:05:00Trevmargetting late..
09:05:04LinusN:-)
09:09:43Trevmaryou were correct, 'make' was OK but 'make zip' told me "cant open fonts at /home/Administrator/rockbox/tools/buildzip.pl" I downloaded the CVS, did I have to make the fonts seperately?
09:10:06TrevmarI did get the font pacakge from CVS
09:10:16LinusNi think i misled yoiu a little
09:10:30LinusNthe fonts package should be in the rockbox dir
09:10:38LinusNrockbox/fonts
09:10:44TrevmarOK, I founf that fonts are not in the rockbox directory. Let me get them in the right place
09:11:18Trevmarso I should issue that CVS command in the rockbox directory, I guess??
09:11:23LinusNyes
09:11:27Trevmar:)
09:12:10dwihnoLinusN: How does the current fonts look on the ihp?
09:12:25LinusNwonderful

09:12:40LinusNwith the default font
09:12:48LinusNand the larger ones look really good

09:13:32*LinusN got one off ebay yesterday
09:13:33dwihnoI'm buying a new computer this month. The iriver has to wait.
09:16:31TrevmarHmm. After I downloaded and Rolo ut t he "info" screen says version 20050209-0008 yet it works, and I told CVS to checkout -D "2004 1229"
09:17:20LinusNthat info is the build date, not the checkout date
09:17:39LinusN"built from CVS on 20050209"
09:17:53TrevmarOk, thanks, so is there anyway I can doublecheck I am flashing the correct build date?
09:18:01LinusNnot really
09:18:28TrevmarOk, I will go ahead and try a few dates. I know that Jan 9 was dead. Let me try that one again...
09:18:36LinusNgood luck

10:19:31Trevmaramiconn, the Rolo version of 10 Jan works to recognize the MMC card, but when I flash the UCL it doesn't see them. OK, let me make some more dates...

11:07:40ripnetukare we sure that iRiver rockbox doesnt eat file systems? ive had 3 instances of corrupted fat after running Rockbox, on an iRiver thats never corrupted before. Each time, I have formatted the drive using Windows, then synced my ~36 gigs of music on, and unzipped the rockbox zip. This works. If I then allow Rockbox to boot, and then boot back into the original firmware, and unzip the rockbox.zip again, the fat driver panics saying its
11:08:15rashersounds like a bug
11:08:25ripnetukdelete beyond eof, and remounts the jukebox read only. The only other thing I did recently was upgrade my kernel. Could it be the infamous usb scsi kernel bug? can anyone remember the patch for the kernel to get irivers working reliably?
11:09:00LinusNripnetuk: the vfat driver?
11:09:01rasherHm, I haven't had any problems with that
11:09:24LinusNi haven't had any file system problems
11:10:13ripnetukit was something to do with not reporting back to the scsi layer.
11:10:21LinusNi know that
11:10:44ripnetukim gonna try again on my old kernel tongiht. Just checking no one else had problems with it
11:10:52LinusNi just meant that i haven't experienced any fat problems at all since i started developing the iriver stuff
11:10:53rasherripnetuk: which kernel version is this?
11:11:10ripnetuk 2.6.8.1-24mdksmp
11:11:33LinusNi have 2.6.9
11:11:39rasherI have 2.6.10
11:12:03ripnetukhmmm... i guess the next sensible thing to try is either installing from windows, or trying my old kernel again.
11:12:11rasherthink I skipped over 2.6.8.1
11:12:17ripnetuksorry to have bl;amed Rockbox :) im sure the ata code is well tested on the Archos :)
11:12:44LinusNripnetuk: yes, the rockbox ata driver is well-tested, but it may still contain bugs
11:13:04ripnetukbut im sure someone else would have noticed if it destroyed fs's
11:13:07LinusNand the iriver ATA driver is quite fresh
11:13:24ripnetuki will do some more testing tonight and report back. thanks

11:24:23linuxstbxen`: I'm working on some audio codecs for Rockbox, and the main problem so far is memory usage - Rockbox doesn't have malloc, and we want to try and avoid using it.
11:24:33xen`ho ok
11:24:42xen`what other limitations there is ?
11:25:09xen`and how many memory I'm restricted to ?
11:25:31linuxstbNo other big limitations. I suppose just the speed of the processor.
11:25:53linuxstbRe: memory - I think the rule is just as little as possible.
11:25:58xen`ok
11:26:24xen`I'll have to check rockbox others codec to learn how to adapt them
11:26:38LinusNthere are none
11:26:55linuxstbAlso, you will need to restrict yourself you a pre-defined maximum memory size. For FLAC, this means not supporting files that have been encoded with large block sizes (which I don't think happens in the real world anyway).
11:27:13LinusNhow large is "large"?
11:27:45linuxstbAll my FLAC files are encoded with a blocksize of 4608 bytes. But the standard allows block sizes up to 32K
11:28:40LinusNbut how does that affect the overall mem usage?
11:28:42xen`oki
11:29:21DMJChow's the tremor port going?
11:29:37xen`right now everything is ready to start working on them right ? I just wont get sound output cause of the sound part not done ?
11:29:44xen`or is sound part the codec themself only ?
11:29:47linuxstblibFLAC allocates 4 buffers of about 4xblocksize - So 4608*16 is about 73K, but 32K*16 is 524K - a big difference in "typical" and maximum usage
11:30:20linuxstbI'll just make "maximum supported blocksize" a #define, and set it initially to 4608
11:30:57 Join Christi-S [0] (~christi@213.78.116.104)
11:31:52xen`hmm
11:31:54xen`things is
11:31:59xen`mod/xm are tracker format
11:32:03linuxstbxen': the audio "framework" hasn't been designed yet. I'm first looking in detail at how the codecs work, and then I'll propose something on the Wiki for others to comment on.
11:32:13LinusNlinuxstb: i don't see a problem with 524K
11:32:21xen`samples has to be loaded on the fly
11:32:32xen`it gonna be painfull with no malloc =)
11:32:43xen`otherwise I can check if its possible to read them as they are played
11:32:45linuxstbLinusN: in which case, I'll just change the #define to 32K
11:32:49LinusNdo so
11:32:50 Join Trevmar [0] (LUMOS@206-72-67-118.dsl.dock.net)
11:33:02TrevmarLinusN or Amiconn, are you tehre??
11:33:12LinusNi am
11:33:47TrevmarLinus, I found that the Jan 02 build doesn't see the MMC card in the 03 08 mask ondios and that Jan 01 is OK
11:34:02***Alert Mode OFF
11:34:10linuxstbThe other "unbounded" memory usage is the FLAC seektable. One seekpoint takes 20 bytes of storage, and even a 1 hour FLAC file only has about 400 seek points, so I'll just limit that to about 1000 seek points.
11:34:17TrevmarThis coincides with when the LD comes up with "FLASh is full" error message on ROMbox
11:34:24xen`hmm, finally I think it will need some complete rewrite :/
11:34:30linuxstb*The only "unbounded"...
11:34:50Trevmarand the files changed are dir.c config-ondiofm.h and config-ondisp.h
11:35:12linuxstbDMJC: I haven't looked at Tremor yet.
11:35:48TrevmarLinus, shoudl I post that on the Forum?
11:36:07LinusNTrevmar: i'm afraid that it is a little more complicated than that
11:36:14amiconnTrevmar: Did you flash "rombox.ucl" or "rockbox.ucl" for your Jan 01 build?
11:36:14linuxstbLinusN: Apart from those 4 big buffers, libFLAC uses about another 80K for various other buffers. - so mem usage would be between 150K and 600K depending on how we set the maximum blocksize.
11:36:35LinusNlinuxstb: ok, we'll have to live with that, i guess
11:36:42Trevmarlet me check.. rockbox.ucl
11:37:03LinusNjan 01 was when the MULTIVOLUME was activated
11:37:13Trevmararrrgh
11:37:18linuxstbI suppose it depends on how many codecs we want to be running at the same time. If it's just two, then I guess 600K is OK.
11:37:37xen`loading whole file into memory would be possible you think ?
11:37:55LinusNxen`: that depends on the file size, of course
11:38:04xen`ok
11:38:24rashermost tracker files are less than a few mb
11:38:27LinusNwe will have 25-30Mbytes for buffering
11:38:35xen`because since samples are stored all over the file and several can be readen at once
11:38:41xen`ho fine
11:38:54xen`ok, if the whole file is in buffering, it should require no malloc at all =)
11:38:55linuxstbxen': The codec itself shouldn't read the file from disk - the basic concept is to have a "compressed data buffer" and a "PCM data buffer". The audio subsystem moves data from one buffer to the other with the help of the codecs.
11:39:12amiconnTrevmar: There was a bug with the first multivolume implementation, that was fixed on Jan-03. Could you try building with Jan-04 cvs?
11:39:12xen`oki
11:39:25Trevmaramiconn, I guess i wasted time on a binary search - if I had known about Jan 1... Sigh...
11:39:32xen`yes 30 mb is way enough for nearly all tracker files =)
11:39:43Trevmaramiconn- yes, I will try a jan 4 for you, stand by
11:40:17xen`finally it should be fine with modplug, I'll just wait the audio framework is out and i'll work on it
11:40:42Trevmardir.c and fat.h were changed between Jan 2 and Jan 4... compiling...
11:41:54linuxstbxen': we may need to do something special with tracker files (and SID files) - "normal" codecs are streams - i.e. you read a frame of compressed data from the input, and write a frame of PCM data to the output. It sounds like tracker files aren't like that.
11:42:17xen`yes, right, the whole file is needed from the start
11:42:34rasherluckily there's no size problem with either
11:42:45rashersid files are 100kb at most
11:42:49xen`yep =)
11:43:10DMJCis there a script to copy the completed iriver firmware build onto the iriver?
11:43:33linuxstbDMJC: use "make zip" and then unzip the rockbox.zip on the irver.
11:43:34LinusNyou can have half the hvsc collection in memory at once :-)
11:43:40DMJCcool
11:44:08rasherheh
11:44:35TrevmarAmiconn: it doesn't see the MMC on Jan 4th either
11:44:36rasherwell 100kb was overdoing it
11:44:44rasher63kb is the largest in hvsc
11:45:09DMJCcan't open dir fonts at /home/james/development/iriver/rockbox/tools/buildzip.pl line 76.
11:45:17linuxstbrasher: someone said yesterday that SID files were 65?? programs. So I'm guessing that limits them to 64K.
11:45:24LinusNDMJC: cvs co fonts
11:45:39DMJCk
11:46:06rasherlinuxstb: they are, and apparentlly it does indeed limit them to 64k
11:46:18rasherI was thinking maybe there were multi-disk sids or something
11:46:33rasherapparently not so
11:46:58linuxstbBut I'm assuming there's no limits on the sizes of various tracker files.
11:47:11rasherprobably not
11:47:24amiconnTrevmar: Could you try one more thing: Compile from current cvs, but disable multivolume support and hotswap support in config-ondiofm.h
11:47:26amiconn?
11:47:42rasherbut there'd probalby be no harm done in putting a sufficiently high artificial limit on them
11:48:21Trevmaramiconn- OK, I am doing that. It will take 5 mins or so
11:52:11DMJCanyone writing a tetris port?

12:00:02LinusNdid you unzip the entire zip to the iriver?
12:00:06iriveryes
12:00:50LinusNweird, i fixed that but 2 days ago
12:00:54LinusNbug
12:01:53iriverI don't know what is wrong with my iriver builds... the power off/shutdown function does not wok neither :(
12:02:35LinusNi changed that, you are now supposed to hols the stop button
12:02:41LinusNhold
12:03:22iriverI implemented my own shutdown if HOLD is ON... STOP hold does not work - if have to reset to poweroff Rockbox
12:04:19iriverwhen holding STOP the file browser starts
12:04:41TrevmarAmiconn: as you expected, that seems OK. I have my advanced audio tweaks now too :) Shal I just try disabling hotswap or multicolume one at a time? Any dependencies?
12:04:55LinusNiriver: then what is on screen when you hold stop?
12:05:35iriverIt does not react - it stays in filebrowser
12:06:02rasherwhy are recording options not under options?
12:06:05rasherin the menu
12:06:15rasheririver: do you have a song playing?
12:06:16LinusNyou said it started the browser, so where was it when you pushed stop in the first place?
12:06:29rasheririver: well, trying to play
12:08:03iriverwhen Rockbox starts, the main screen is clear. only shown battery, volume, playing status, shuffle status
12:08:40rasheririver: what is the playing status?
12:08:45iriverrasher: yes, i'm "playing" - at least the play icon is on, but stop does not stop it
12:08:52rasherthat's the problem
12:09:01LinusNiriver: i guess you enabled the "resume" option
12:09:15iriverbut what is the solution :)
12:09:28rasheririver: go into the settings, set resume to "No"
12:09:46rasherthen try and generate disk activity (I think.. I browsed some folders..)
12:10:14rasherthen reset
12:10:27rasherthat's exactly the behaviour I got
12:10:44iriverso I can't poweroff, if Resume in ON. Weird :)
12:10:58rasherwell you can't poweroff if the iriver's trying to play a song
12:11:10rashersetting resume to off is just making sure that you're not doing that
12:11:19iriverbut why can't I stop a song by pressing STOP
12:11:51LinusNiriver: because the mpeg thread doesn't respond to the SYS_POWEROFF event
12:12:10TrevmarAmiconn: now I am trying just disabling multivolume, and not hotswap
12:12:11LinusNand it doesn't respond to MPEG_PLAY either
12:12:55iriverTurning off RESUME solved the problem... Thanks :)
12:13:11rasherMaybe I should add this to the wiki somewhere
12:13:42LinusNi wonder why people enable resume when you can't play any music?
12:13:57TrevmarAmiconn: nope, there are unsatisfied dependencies with hotplug and no multivolume.
12:14:09rasherLinusN: Had to try all the options!
12:14:11Bagderwe should add an option "remove all my music" and people will select that too ;-)
12:14:14iriveryeah, it is not obvious that RESUME should be left alone until the MPEG_PLAY and SYS_POWEROFF is handled correctly
12:14:53iriverpeople play around to learn Rockbox
12:16:24TrevmarIriver: but I played around with my Jukebox recorder - I expect it solid now for the Ondio -LOL

12:52:07***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
12:52:26HCllinuxstb: probably, i'm just gonna write my own replacement that'll use the mp3 buffer.. a very crude one that doesn't free or anything.
12:52:28LinusN"roundup" - an obvious trademark violation :-)
12:52:32HCland just assume that 32mb will be enough.
12:52:41BagderLinusN: indeed
12:53:13HClcan rockbox play mp3 and run plugins at the same time?
12:53:14Bagderpossibly we could offer malloc for the plugins, in a separate plugin pool
12:53:21LinusNHCl: yes
12:53:23HClBagder: that would be nice..
12:53:30HClLinusN: that would seriously mess up with gnuboy then :X
12:53:36HClas it is now, anyways..
12:53:46LinusNgnuboy should just stop the music then
12:53:59LinusNother plugins do
12:53:59HClno um.. >.> badger suggested i'd use the mp3 buffer for memory
12:54:06LinusNmetronome for example
12:54:09HClsince i can't make everything static
12:54:11linuxstbMy understanding is that plugins have a fixed memory area to work in, so it would make sense to allow malloc within that memory area.
12:54:34Bagderlinuxstb: yes, that's my thinking too
12:54:36LinusNi can live with that
12:54:44HClsounds ok.
12:54:48LinusNBagder: add malloc() to the plugin lib
12:54:51Bagderat least when we extend the plugin area for irivers
12:55:08HClyea, gnuboy is gonna need... about... 6 mb to run?
12:55:13LinusN6!
12:55:17HClwell
12:55:18HClat max
12:55:19Bagderhah
12:55:19HClanyways
12:55:19linuxstbBagder: no reason why it couldn't work (on a smaller scale) for all targets.
12:55:19Zagoryikes
12:55:27HClthere are some gameboy roms that are 4mb
12:55:31LinusNah
12:55:40linuxstbMaybe "big_malloc" as well...
12:55:51LinusNthen the mp3 buffer is a better choice
12:55:52Zagorwell, since gnuboy will halt the music it can have all the ram it wants
12:55:56HCland there's something like 64k savegame ram and 256k work ram..
12:55:59Bagderthe plugin-malloc would not allow that huge memory anyway
12:56:03HCland then it needs ram for the code
12:56:21HClBagder: well, i somewhat need a spot to load the gameboy rom into ram...
12:56:30HCland since they can get up to 4mb.. :/
12:56:38Bagderthe mp3 buffer is for you my son ;-)
12:56:40LinusNBagder: how about a malloc() in the plugin lib and also be able to assign a pool to it?
12:56:51Bagderyes, I guess that's what we want
12:56:56HClgnuboy will use reallocs to limit memory usage as much as possible
12:56:58LinusNso you can grab the mp3 buffer and give it to malloc()
12:57:02ZagorHCl: why not use static sizes for those things?
12:57:11linuxstbLinusN: That would be useful for the codecs as well - same functions, different pools.
12:57:14BagderLinusN: in fact, my code already supports that kind of operation
12:57:20LinusNZagor: for the same reasons as we don't change all mallocs in the codecs?
12:57:28 Join LUMOS1 [0] (~trevor@ca-agoura-cuda2h-53.ventca.adelphia.net)
12:57:36HClZagor: well, it'd almost always use more ram than it'd actually need..
12:57:43LinusNlinuxstb: it is a lot more complicated for the codecs
12:57:46HCland it like
12:57:55HClreads the amount of memory its gonna need, from the rom header
12:58:03HClso at the moment i just have to assume maximum
12:58:36ZagorHCl: well the point with static allocation is that you always know you can handle the worst case. with dynamic, that requires testing which is sometimes non-trivial.
12:59:04linuxstbLinusN: Yes, at the moment, my plan is to try and remove mallocs (in a clean way) from the codecs. e.g. for FLAC, I would like to submit a patch to the libFLAC people to implement a "FLAC__USE_STATIC_MEMORY" or similar compile directive.
12:59:20LinusNlinuxstb: way to go
12:59:23Zagorand there's no point in using 6 instead of 7 megs of ram, since we'll be having 24+ allocated for it anyway
12:59:47HClokay.
12:59:52Zagorlinuxstb: sounds excellent!
12:59:58HClwell, i don't really see a problem with making gnuboy use static buffers...
13:00
13:00:16HClit'll just use a huge memory space though
13:00:31LinusNit will anyway
13:00:39HClmhm
13:01:00LinusNsince you have to reserve a malloc memory pool
13:01:31LinusNthat can accomodate such huge malloc'c
13:01:32Zagori'd say the only good reason to use malloc is if you want to minimize the changes done to the original code
13:01:58LinusNamen
13:02:04HClmhm.
13:02:19linuxstbZagor. In theory :-). In practice, there are lots of mallocs which aren't executed on my test files. So there would be a big difference between a patch that just works for Rockbox, and a general-pupose patch that removes every single malloc from libFLAC
13:02:20HClwell, that doesn't matter much for gnuboy

15:33:44Bagder(from export/kernel.h)
15:33:54ZagorHCl: you simply can't sleep for such short durations. use yield() if you just want to give up some time.
15:34:27Bagderpossibly we can that when we increase the clock speed

15:35:41Zagorwhat sound?
15:35:49HClgameboy.
15:36:00Zagoryeah, but why do you need millisecond sleep for sound?
15:36:15HClbecause it needs to slightly pause emulation till the sound has been played, i think.
15:36:30Bagderyou play a millisecond sound?
15:36:32Zagorsurely the sound is longer than 1ms?
15:36:33HClwe'll just see how it goes.

15:37:02HCli can alter it.. i guess.

15:37:33HCl rb->sleep(HZ*us/1000);
15:37:36jypto (16-4) ?

15:52:23jypHave you seen my question ?
15:52:34*[IDC]Dragon scrolls back...
15:52:34HCli'm not sure if this is gonna work with just a resolution of seconds.. actually, the unix implementation returns 1 second + microseconds if more than a second have passed..
15:53:19LinusNHCl: what do you need the resolution for?
15:53:25HClLinusN: timing in the emulator..
15:53:29[IDC]Dragonthe number talking shouldn't get restricted to 16 bit, imho
15:53:53ZagorHCl: is current_tick enough?
15:53:55LinusNHCl: how high resolution do you need, and what for?
15:54:00HClZagor: probably
15:54:13HClif you can guarantee that current_tick will keep increasing
15:54:25Zagoronly until it wraps :)
15:54:25jyp[IDC]Dragon: Really ? Because it would lead to quite some changes
15:54:25LinusNit does
15:54:44HCli'm not sure how high the resolution should be, but less than a second, i know that.
15:55:07LinusNthe rockbox tick is 10ms
15:55:22HClshould be more than enough resolution
15:55:57[IDC]Dragonjyp: we need 4 bits for the unit one for the sign, so this would leave only 11 bits
15:56:00HCli don't think unix system provide a much better resolution than 10ms anyways
15:56:11HClsystems*
15:56:12sneakumsdepends on the unix
15:56:15HClmhm
15:56:33[IDC]Dragonwe wouldn't be able to say numbers beyond 2047
15:56:46HClok, current_tick is just in the api, right?
15:57:02LinusNHCl: ???
15:57:15HClhm? o.o
15:57:29HCli'll use current tick
15:57:33[IDC]Dragonjyp: what are the consequences of having this long?
15:57:33LinusNcurrent_tick is a global variable
15:57:39HClits mostly to check how much time has been passed between a certain time
15:57:41HCland another time
15:57:43LinusNand the plugin api has a pointer to it
15:57:43HClyea
15:57:47HCl*nods*
15:58:10jyp[IDC]Dragon, mainly changing it all along the call chain; qutite tedious
15:58:14LinusNthere are two useful macros, TIME_AFTER() and TIME_BEFORE()
15:58:23HClso i'll just do current_tick-old_tick*HZ*1000000
15:58:27HCloh
15:58:33HClwhat do they do exactly?
15:58:53LinusNthey tell you if a tick value is before or after another
15:58:56jypNothing too difficult nor costly I guess
15:59:04HClokay..
15:59:06LinusNand it handles the wrapping
15:59:06HClthanks

15:59:09HCl*nods*
15:59:14HClthat'll do nicely
15:59:31LinusNjust subtracting them will probably be fine
16:00
16:00:24linuxstbLooking in firmware/export/kernel.h, TIME_AFTER just subtracts them... How does that handle wrapping?
16:00:33HClneeds to be divide, by the way
16:01:19HClis the size of a pointer the same size as a long on iriver?
16:01:28HCli have a bit of a bad x86 coding habit where i assume they are..

17:12:32Bagderyou can check for buttons, it doesn't block if you don't want to
17:13:29lolo-laptopis it the button processing hardware that doesn't send multiple button signals simultaneously? That is the l4m3.

18:01:15Trevmarok i am here
18:01:59[IDC]Dragonhave you tried just multivolume, no hotswap?
18:02:25TrevmarI tried hotswap and no multivolume, but there were dependencies
18:02:36HCligh..
18:02:38[IDC]Dragonyes, that doesn't work
18:02:47[IDC]Dragonandmakes no sense either
18:03:13TrevmarOK, but I thought that the Jan 2 breaking date would indicate it was multivolume
18:03:24Trevmarthat was broken
18:03:26[IDC]Dragontry wit current cvs
18:03:42[IDC]Dragonto make sure you'r not missing any later fix
18:03:50TrevmarOk, will do.
18:06:18HCllinus isn't around...
18:06:28HCli'm slightly annoyed with the way i have to do video at the moment..
18:06:45HClcause it goes from.. 8bit framebuffer in memory -> 1 bit framebuffer in memory -> lcd framebuffer
18:10:49[IDC]Dragonvideo?
18:11:02HClgameboy video output.
18:11:06HCldisplay is generally called video
18:11:18[IDC]Dragonah, graphics
18:11:26[IDC]Dragon;-)
18:11:52HCli'm trying to get at least the 8bit -> 1bit conversion out.. while at the same time telling rockbox to only update one scanline..
18:12:53thegeekhave you tested a binary?
18:12:57thegeekjust to see if it actually works
18:13:11thegeekI know there is no gfx/controls/sound or anything
18:13:33[IDC]DragonHC1: minimum update is 8 scanlines
18:13:47[IDC]Dragonthe line may be short
18:14:16[IDC]Dragonbut a byte in frame buffer is 8 bits *below*
18:14:35[IDC]Dragonnot across, as intuition tells
18:15:52HClthegeek: no.
18:16:01HClthegeek: whats the point of testing it without gfx/controls/sound?
18:16:18HClthegeek: i haven't even linked the plugin entry point to the gnuboy emu
18:16:31HCli wouldn't even be able to tell whether it worked
18:17:13HCl[IDC]Dragon: one byte is 8 scanlines, right?
18:17:26thegeeksurely you could just add some debug messages in some critical places
18:17:29thegeekto see if it runs
18:17:43HCli guess.
18:17:44thegeekI don't know, I really don't know rockbox code;)

20:52:19amiconnAnd: MMC hotswap in USB has been working long before (and independent from) MMC hotswap for rockbox access
20:52:47 Part webguest00
20:53:49amiconnTrevmar: Does the 0308 unit say the same under your test condition? It should...
20:54:02TrevmarHotplug doesn't work in either of my 07 08 boxes. When I pull the card out the unit switches off with horizontal and vertical lines on the display
20:54:54amiconnYeah, I mean, test with MV but *without* hotswap, and primarily on the 0308 units
20:54:57TrevmarYes, the 03 08 and 07 08 both require card to be pulled out when USB plugged in
20:55:33amiconnDoes the actual access work both to the internal flash (when card is pulled) and the card (when plugged)?
20:56:05Trevmaryes, I get the <MMC1> on the 07 08 boxes
20:56:26amiconnNo, I mean USB access.
20:57:03TrevmarWhen I plug in the USB while the card is installed it tells me I have to pull the card
20:57:13amiconnYeah, of course.
20:57:15*[IDC]Dragon draws circuit diagrams
20:57:49amiconnTrevmar: I said: connect USB *without* card inserted. (1) Can you access the internal flash from the PC?
20:58:27amiconn(2) Plug the card now. Does the drive content on the PC now change to the card's content, i.e. access to card works too?
20:59:37Trevmaryes, the unit works fine without a card plugged in
21:00
21:00:20HClthat took a while to load, and as i said, it exited immediately XD
21:00:25HCli wonder why though
21:00:48TrevmarAmiconn, when I plug in USB
21:01:08amiconnTrevmar: Okay. What about (2)?
21:01:26Trevmarand then plug in the MMC the Ondio did not switch off, and on my PC I can not see any <MMC1> designator
21:01:37Trevmarjust the internal ondio memory
21:01:51amiconnOf course; this trick cannot work for USB access.
21:02:36amiconnThe drive (if you are on Windows) should now show the contents of the card *instead* of the internal flash content
21:02:44TrevmarThe moment I unlugged the USB cable I got the message "PANIC reading 1 past end 0 of card 1
21:03:16Trevmarlet me try again and see what I get in more detail..
21:03:24 Quit xen` (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
21:03:41amiconnTrevmar: Btw, that was on a 0308 unit, correct?
21:04:21TrevmarAmiconn, you are correct, I am looking at the card directory, not the Ondio's internal with my PC
21:04:38Trevmarthis is an 07 08 unit with 20050204
21:04:48amiconnOkay, nice.
21:05:06amiconnCould you please do the same test with a 0308 unit?
21:05:47TrevmarThat is interesting
21:07:35TrevmarI have gotten the units mixed up. With the 03 08 unit compiled without MV then I can see the card directory if I plug in the card while the USB is enabled
21:08:02Trevmaron the 07 08 unit with 20050204 I enable USB and then the unit switches off as I plug in the MMC card
21:09:14Trevmarthis is consistent with my 07 08 units switching off as the card is plugged in without being in the USB transfer mode as well
21:09:49TrevmarI think a variation of this is what is acusing those other huys to lose their USB maybe? CPU going off into the weeds?
21:10:23Trevmarcausing these other guys
21:10:25amiconnHmmm. For the 0708 problem, if you have a rockbox _without_ hotswap on the unit, and insert a card into the running box (what obviously wouldn't cause it to be detected), does the unit switch off too?
21:10:49Trevmarlet me try that
21:12:14TrevmarI am putting the latest CVS without MV or hotswap into the 0708 unit. Then later I will recompile with only hotswap off. one step at a time...
21:14:48HClcannot open romfile
21:14:48HClhrm.
21:15:07TrevmarNo, the 0708 unit resets when I insert either the MMC or the Sd even with MV and Hotswap disabled
21:16:28TrevmarAll ofthese units came with lots of brass shielding soldered into place...
21:16:51TrevmarI took that all out
21:17:05Trevmarno apparent change in performace
21:17:23Trevmareven the radio was just as cruddy reception with and without, IMO

21:39:31lImbusmust be a misunderstanding

21:42:22TrevmarI reloaded the latest CVS with MV enabled into the 07 08 unit and it still switches off when you hotplug a card, same as before, but the <MMC1> directory is accessible and music plays OK
21:43:55TrevmarAmiconn: if the shutdown is a hrdware problem (and I don't necessarily disagree) I have 2 07 08 Ondios with identical hardware problems, then.
21:44:28Trevmarbut it has nothing to do with MMC insertion force
21:44:35amiconnThat may still be the case. To be sure, you could check with archos firmware
21:44:47*[IDC]Dragon is back from dinner
21:45:58TrevmarYes, let me delete the ajbrec and see what I get
21:46:01[IDC]Dragonand done with circuit diagrams and truth tables
21:46:40lImbusamiconn: would the ondio have been working (with internal memory) after having formatted it with something else than fat16 ? i gave it once to a mate...
21:46:42[IDC]Dragonamiconn: I think the reason for the AND vs. OR is different
21:47:08[IDC]Dragonin rockbox, 2 things are changed:
21:47:33amiconnlImbus: If it's not flashed, no. Archos fw can only boot from FAT16
21:47:34TrevmarYes, with the archos software the insertion of an MMC card into those units causes them to shut down.
21:47:36[IDC]Dragon1) the SCk line is idle high or low, depending on the chip
21:48:00lImbusamiconn: ok, then I had never something else than fat16.
21:48:12[IDC]Dragon2) the clock gate polarity is reversed
21:48:24[IDC]Dragonnow comes the interesting:
21:48:30amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Yes, I know. Thats catered for.
21:49:00[IDC]Dragonthe clock line from the bridge must also be idle high or idle low
21:49:28[IDC]Dragonwith the OR, it must be 0 to allow us to clock the cards
21:49:41[IDC]Dragonwith the AND, itmust be 1
21:49:54amiconnAh, yes.
21:50:09amiconnHmm, how is this achieved?
21:50:22HClit still doesn't work x.x
21:50:36HClis it possible i'm getting assigned fd 0?
21:50:40[IDC]Dragonwe can't control it, so I guess the driving reason for the change was a different bridge behaviour
21:51:00amiconnHmm.
21:51:21amiconnThat should be obvious from the datasheets, shouldn't it?
21:51:39*HCl checks the other sources and guesses it is..
21:51:39amiconnMaybe it was the AU9330->AU9331 transition?
21:53:10*[IDC]Dragon tries to remember
21:54:52amiconnlImbus: I remember having read on the archos site that earlier Ondio fw versions could even get stuck when the internal flash is not formatted with FAT16.
21:55:28amiconnThe only chance to revive such a unit would be to uart-boot it, and flash a newer firmware (or preferably rockbox ;-) )

22:19:33amiconnTrevmar: Btw, what version do your 0308 Ondios show at startup? If it's lower than 1.31f, you should consider either updating archos fw in flash, or flashing rockbox....
22:19:55amiconn...if it's not yet flashed of course
22:21:25TrevmarRockbox is flashed
22:22:05Trevmarleft-button boot shows 1.32b
22:23:01amiconnYes, that's expected then. The archos image in the flash packages is the latest (flash) version.
22:24:29amiconnAh, I just remember that you uart-booted and flashed a number of Ondios.
22:24:41amiconnWere these 0308 units among them?
22:24:50HClwill lcd_putsxy print to the right of the x,y you feed it or to the left?

22:25:32amiconnyup
22:25:38HClokay..
22:26:52TrevmarYes, these 03 08 units were flashed, after chnaing the mask at FC and FD in the binary image :)
22:27:16amiconnWhat was the problem with them before?
22:27:18Trevmarchnaing=changing sheez...
22:27:28amiconnDid they get stuck at the archos boot screen?
22:28:51Trevmarmost of them had no life. Looked like they had been badly flashed by their previous owners, I guess. One of the 03 08 units was fully operational until I flashed Rockbix, and it took me several days to figure out that the guy hadn't sold me a lemon, that it was actually rockbox at fault :(
22:29:42amiconnOkay, thanks.
22:31:06Trevmarno screen mainly, as I remember. I have one still on the workbench which I can't get at the main memory to make that visible to a PC over USB. I can display the ocntents of an inserted MMc with ajbrec on it. Remember that one? I keep figuring that when we get these probelsm understood that it will magically come to life again. Or that somebody wil write "low_level_format.rock" for me :)
22:32:31Trevmarbecause it will access and exceute off the MMC OK, only the main memory is dead in some way. It says "no partitions found, please insert USB and fix it" but the PC sees nothing across the USB
22:33:08amiconnYou could try flashing archos firmware (via uart). That should definitely work if it's not a hardware problem
22:33:15TrevmarIf I boot with an MMC card in place it takes that as the main partition. I described the screens in a thread on the forum
22:34:56TrevmarWhen I left-boot that one it comes up with the "Ondio FM" screen but never drops through to that 4-way selecetor display of Archos
22:37:44Trevmarwith Archos software I dont get to that 4-way selector even when I boot with an MMC card in place. With Rockbox it sees the MMC card
22:37:58Trevmarbut still no USB with rockbox
22:38:19amiconnWell, you should be able to access the MMC via USB

22:38:59amiconnSo to come back to the 0380 vs. MV+hotswap problem, I ask again if you could do the tests I proposed 2 hours ago.
22:39:07amiconn*0308
22:39:58amiconnFirst, put on a build without MV+hotswap, go to Info->Debug->View MMC info, and check all 4 screens both with & without MMC inserted
22:40:35HClwell...... that goes... slow..... :X
22:42:21TrevmarAmiconn, I tried your trick of plugging in the card after USB is active. It didn't switch off this one (which is 07 08) but Win2K prompts me to "insert a disk in drive h:" repeatedly
22:42:55Trevmaramicon, let me read those screens for you
22:43:26amiconnIt's not a trick... it's the required way of handling MMC in USB, even with archos firmware
22:44:41Trevmarwithout MMC: MMC0 p1 STM128 rev 6.6 prod:2/2006 M=02 O=0000 size 122MB
22:45:41TrevmarMMC0 p2: speed 20 Mbit/s Tsac 10ms Nsac 0clk R2W *4 IR max 35..35ma IW 35..45ms
22:47:37TrevmarMMC1 p1 not found and MMC1 p2 not found. OK lets' plug in the 1 gig MMC
22:48:34amiconnMMC0 p1: It really display 02/2006? Then you have a chip from the future....
22:48:55TrevmarMMC1 p1 and p2 not found. Let's reboot with the card in place
22:49:41Trevmaroops - displays PANIC (maybe cos there is an ajbrec on the card, let me fix that)
22:50:07amiconnquelsaruk: Do you have some goats to spare? ;-)
22:51:12amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Do you have the schematics in an accessible place?
22:51:26Trevmar8I keep getting panics. Let me triple check the build I have in there :)

22:53:54Bagderno h100 user has tried it
22:54:06Bagderthere may be reasons why it won't
22:54:15amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Hmm. I try to understand if there would be a glitch, this would only affect MV-enabled rockbox. The clock select function did not change at all...
22:54:16Bagderlike the lesser amount of ram
22:54:47crash__Bagder: linus told me that there are also different chips or layout on it
22:55:09Bagdercrash__: you can't flash the 120/140 iRiver firmware to a 100, can you?
22:55:10[IDC]Dragonamiconn: but it's selected at rockbox time, not while USB
22:55:46amiconnIt's also selected without MV... and that's done immediately before the first access....

23:02:22Bagderwe should write a wiki about it
23:02:45HClwell, it prints keys when it starts
23:02:47HClbut obviously
23:02:49HClthey're not correct
23:02:56amiconnBagder: That's why the Win32 sim bg pic is useful: It shows the button assigments...
23:03:10amiconn...and will soon be even clickable, I hope
23:04:32*HCl stares at his iriver and has a really memexpensive counter program at the moment :X
23:04:42amiconn[IDC]Dragon: I just had an idea. Maybe on these old units, the MMC presence detection switch reacts earlier, when the card is not yet fully inserted?
23:05:15[IDC]Dragondunno, perhaps
23:06:03[IDC]Dragonbut the idea is (while pulling out) to have the switch trigger before the contacts go loose
23:06:12amiconnTrevmar: Do you currently have a not MV and hotswap enabled .ajz on the internal?
23:06:49TrevmarI couldn't compile that version because of unsatisfied dependencies
23:07:03HCligh, the simulator isn't building the gnuboy sourcetree for some reason..
23:07:03amiconnNo I mean both features disabled
23:07:36Trevmaryes
23:07:38amiconnIf so, please do the following test: (1) Insert the card, while the Ondio is switched off. (2) Switch it on while holding LEFT, thereby starting archos firmware and having it loading rockbox from the internal
23:07:58amiconnDoes the access to the card work then?
23:08:00HCldoes the sim build have a different makefile or what? :/
23:08:11BagderHCl: yes
23:08:30HClBagder: where? for the plugins?
23:08:45Bagderwe changed the build process a while back and we haven't yet made the sim builds follow that style
23:08:52HClmhm..
23:09:07TrevmarPlease calrify what access: "Does the access to the card work then?"
23:09:12Trevmarclarify
23:09:34amiconnI mean, if booted that way, do you get the card's contents displayed within rockbox?
23:09:55Trevmaryes, but that works with the flashed version too, as long as I diable MV and Hotplug
23:10:11amiconnYes of course.
23:10:23amiconnBooting that way is still different,
23:10:45amiconnbecause the archos fw in flash does *always* boot from the internal flash.
23:11:30amiconnThat means, the internal is selected when rockbox kicks in, and rockbox properly manages to switch selection to the external.
23:11:38Trevmarright, but I noticed no difference between the flash boot and coming up via archos over the last few days of testing
23:12:00HClBagder: so where can i find the makefile that controls the build of the plugins for the simulator?
23:12:04TrevmarI tried the archos left arrow boot on just about every software build I did
23:13:05BagderHCl: uisimulator/x11/Makefile builds all plugins in the plugin dir

23:17:32preglowis this with linus latest updates, btw?

23:19:16HClor at least, it should.
23:19:27HCli'm still not sure about the palette stuff.
23:19:32Bagderlcd_framebuffer is the framebuffer
23:20:09Bagderdon't you use lcd_update() ?
23:21:16preglowwell, he wouldn't have gotten anything at all if he didn't use that, or?
23:21:34hubblebtw, anyone else looking at i2c and i2s interfaces for audio codec?
23:21:34HCli use the lcd_updaterect
23:21:39HClsince i thought it'd be more efficient
23:21:44Bagderit is
23:21:45HCli can revert to lcd_update
23:21:50Bagderbut that uses the frame buffer
23:21:58Bagderand moving the frame buffer to iram boosts performance
23:21:59HCli can paste you the function i wrote.. and explain..
23:22:00ashridahHCl: uh. isn't the iriver currently runnign at the lowest clock rate in rockbox atm?
23:22:04HClashridah: yup :P

23:22:31preglowhubble: which of them is the dac part connected with?

23:23:02Trevmaramiconn: sorry
23:23:05preglowhubble: ahhh, that explains it, i wondered how they could transfer audio data fast enough through i2c, heh
23:23:44hubblepreglow: yes, i was wondering too because the UDA1380 manual almost only talked about i2c and it is max 400 kbps

23:24:45preglowyes, exactly
23:24:50preglowhubble: that's what made me wonder as well

23:29:25hubblepreglow: yes
23:29:29preglowahhh
23:29:31preglowi saw that
23:30:55hubbleanother interesting thing is that the coldfire have like 3 S/PDIF interfaces (2 in, 1 out)
23:31:11preglowyes, that comes in handy for the optical ports
23:31:53HClspdif can do 5.1.. right?
23:31:55hubblenot sure if they are connected to the external port.. it could also be the audio codec..
23:32:26hubbleI think someone said that the external ports connected to the codec which only handles 2 channels
23:32:34hubbleso no 5.1 :(
23:32:43HCl :/
23:33:04hubblethat would be cool HW mod to get 5.1 output =)

23:33:54*HCl refueled himself with some food.
23:33:55preglowhubble: you think the spdif ports are connected to the codec?
23:34:06preglowhubble: that doesn't make much sense if you've got on-chip support for it
23:34:21hubblepreglow: dont know, cant tell looking at the board scans

23:34:35preglowno, i couldn't find out either
23:34:35HCli thought linus said two channel only
23:34:51hubblepreglow: hm.. no.. havn't actually checked spdif pins
23:34:56preglowtwo channel only is no problem if the spdif ports are connected directly to the cpu
