00:01:04rasherstripwax: Aha! I had forward slashes - have to be backslashes
00:01:16rasherstripwax: thanks a lot
00:01:21hubblestripwax: thanks
00:01:27stripwaxhubble no worries!
00:01:30stripwaxrasher no worries! :-)
00:03:54hubblestripwax: although linus already did that in crt0.S
00:05:03stripwaxhm, as far as I know DMA0 and DMA1 work the same so I don't know :(

00:05:16hubble movec.l %d0,%rambar1
00:06:17stripwaxhubble? bit 9 needs to be a 1.. should be 0x1000e021 ..
00:06:28hubblelinus is evil =) he says that he enables dma in the comment but bit 9 is not set =)
00:06:36stripwaxchuckle
00:07:39hubble0x1000e201 perhaps
00:08:04stripwaxer, 1000e201 of course ;)
00:08:08hubble=)
00:11:32hubblehm.. almost.. got some sound now but then 1ms later it crashed
00:11:38stripwaxMight also be worth marking either or both of the 32KB segments in SRAM1 as having DMA priority over CPU, but then, might not!
00:11:52stripwaxoh, crashed isn't good
00:12:02preglowwell, if it's for sound buffer, that's clever
00:13:01hubblegoing to try that
00:14:24stripwaxHmmm... should be 0x1000ce21 .. that original 'e' looks bogus ?
00:15:50hubblemaybe linus places that e one wrong.. he says in the comment both banks dma priority
00:16:05hubbleso 0x10000e01
00:16:22stripwaxnot, 0x1000ce21
00:16:26stripwax^not^no
00:16:37hubble=)
00:17:38stripwaxthe 0x1000c000 controls the base address, 0xe00 controls the DMA priority and DMA enabled flags, 0x21 controls the address space masks (i.e. code/data)
00:19:27stripwaxOh, er.. which means SRAM1 base is 1000c000? So maybe it should be 10000e21 after all. What's RAMBAR0 set to?
00:19:47hubble#0x10010001

00:20:59stripwaxyeah, should have been 0x10000e21 not 0x1000e021. SRAM1's been running from 1000c000 i.e. overlapping SRAM0?!
00:21:03stripwax(can't be good!)

00:30:21stripwax? still hangs? still crashes?
00:31:15hubblestill hangs
00:34:07stripwaxwhat's the value of DMAROUTE (MBAR2+0x188). dunno if that would affect anything
00:35:52stripwaxnah, ignore that. I guess just try DMA1 and see if that fixes. May be a hardware quirk?
00:37:03stripwaxThis is where you need bdm, to look at the status registers.. :(

00:38:30hubblehave not tried that, but i have seen iriver firmware does that
00:45:14stripwaxOnly thing I can really think of is alignment of the buffer within SRAM could be different than alignment within SDRAM ..?
00:47:08hubbleargh
00:47:19stripwaxis that it?

01:24:17stripwaxhubble, so what's up. did you try changing alignment
01:24:47GoatmaleNo help me
01:24:59*Goatmale jumps around for attention
01:25:26stripwax?
01:26:41GoatmaleMy archos i think is broken
01:26:45GoatmaleI think..
01:26:55Goatmale"read access error!
01:27:08GoatmaleCan't read from hard drive"
01:28:08amiconnlinuxstb: What does the splash "Recoverable!" mean in mpa2wav?
01:29:33hubblestripwax: same as before.. but i have now discovered that it doesnt work for any static buffer either SRAM or SDRAM.. The only buffer that works is one got using "buffer_alloc"
01:29:50hubblewhich is on sdram
01:29:56hubblevery strange
01:30:37stripwaxvery very strange. definitely sounds like alignment wrt static/dynamic buffer on SDRAM
01:30:50hubblealign 16 should be enough?
01:31:04*Goatmale prepares to take apart his archos
01:31:04stripwaxI'd have thought so.. :-(
01:32:12linuxstbamiconn: It's an error from libmad - that the stream is corrupt. If you've experienced it, then it's probably due to ID3 tags - my mpa2wav program doesn't deal with any tags, it just expects a "pure" mpeg audio stream.
01:32:29amiconnAh okay, then this is the problem
01:32:41amiconnI tried mpa2wav in the win32 sim, and got this
01:33:11amiconnBtw, I can't test in the x11 sim. If I try to call the onplay menu, the sim crashes....
01:33:48linuxstbI rename the mp3 files to ".mad" and then setup viewers.config to associate .mad files with mpa2wav
01:34:13linuxstbWas it you that was working on improving the X11 sim's keyboard handling?
01:34:15amiconnDoes the onplay menu also crash for you?
01:34:34amiconnYes, I looked into it.
01:34:53linuxstbI think the keys just auto-repeat, and I can't get it to come up. Or it comes up, and then immediately selects the first item.
01:35:11amiconnFor me, the sim crashes...
01:35:40linuxstbMaybe the mouse buttons would be an easy fix - I'm guessing the mouse doesn't auto-repeat.
01:35:44amiconnAnyway, this menu works perfectly in the win32 sim, so I'll strip tags from my test mp3
01:36:07amiconnThe problem is not the auto repeat, but that the kb handling is not realtime
01:36:25amiconnSo when I simply deactivate autorepeat, the long press is still not detected
01:36:42amiconnI have an idea how to solve that, without going multi-threaded
01:37:11amiconn...xlib doesn't like multithreaded x11 apps :(

01:47:40stripwaxhubble what happens if you create a static buffer which is (say) twice as large as you need?
01:51:29hubblestripwax: dont know, will try
01:52:07stripwaxhubble actually will probably make no difference, DMA shouldn't/won't care what the data in the buffer actually is..
01:53:15linuxstbamiconn: Does it work on the iRiver? Do you have an iRiver?
01:53:29amiconnI don't have an iriver.
01:55:52linuxstbCan you try the X11 sim (rename the file to, for example .mad and change viewers.config)
01:57:59amiconnI just tried that, the sim crashes when I play that file
01:58:37linuxstbI'm just testing if the X11 sim still works for me.

02:03:50amiconnI don't think it's necessary. I am doing this because I want to get the codec plugins working on windows
02:04:17linuxstbDo any of them work?
02:04:36amiconnI tried only mpa2wav so far. Can try ogg now.

02:05:43linuxstblinuxstb.org/linus.zip">http://linuxstb.org/linus.zip and linus2.zip - test FLAC and AC3 files I put there for Linus the other day

02:06:49amiconnNice, thanks. I'll try them
02:08:16amiconnHuh, funny: Deliplayer (multiformat music player for windows) can play flac.
02:09:31linuxstbOne thing I noticed, is that the API documentation for FLAC (in fact, all the documentation for FLAC) is by far the best out of any of the codecs - which is one reason why it's so widely adopted.
02:10:39amiconnHmm. None of these seem to work.
02:10:56amiconn(x11 sim on cygwin, that is)
02:11:17amiconnmpa2wav crashes the sim, the other pretend to work, and wav files are produced
02:11:46linuxstbWhy do you say "pretend" ?
02:11:59amiconnHowever, none of these play, and the files produced from .ogg and .ac3 have odd sizes
02:14:41linuxstbWhat do you mean by "odd sizes"?
02:15:48amiconn9587 KB .ogg -> 2392 bytes (yes!) .wav

02:17:06slowdowncadeti'm stripwax, and that other stripwax should disappear shortly... ISP hell ...
02:17:21amiconn3410 KB .flac -> 7709 KB .wav
02:18:23linuxstbYes, that FLAC should be 7893356 bytes as a WAV
02:18:56amiconn(7893400 Bytes here
02:19:40linuxstbI get 7893356 bytes running it through the X11 sim.
02:20:23linuxstbYou have an extra 44 bytes which is the size of the WAV header.
02:20:28amiconnThe win32 sim produces similarly odd results

02:22:38linuxstbThe only "unusual" thing my plugins do is to grab the MP3 buffer using rb->plugin_get_mp3_buffer()
02:23:02amiconnWell, that's not unusual. Several other plugins do that too
02:23:57linuxstbBut looking at them, they are mainly the plugins that don't work on the simulator - video, jpeg, battery_test, plus vbrfix and sort

02:44:22amiconnHmm. Now that is even more strange: I googled a bit, the SIGSEGV when using gdb under cygwin seems to happen now and then. The suggestion is to simply type 'continue' several times. This actually works!
02:45:04amiconnHowever, and now it gets esoteric: If I do this, and then try the codec plugins, the .wav files have reasonable sizes!
02:47:03*amiconn suddenly realises what the problem might be
02:47:30amiconnAre there any endian checks in the codec libs? I guess there are...
02:47:54linuxstbI'm running on x86 Linux, so there shouldn't be any difference because of that.
02:48:13amiconnYeah, but the endian #defines on cygwin are fucked up....
02:48:40amiconnI already had that problem, with the id3 database browser not working on cygwin...
02:48:53linuxstbI don't use them - only liba52 needs to know the endianness, and at the moment that's hardcoded to little-endian for simulators, and big-endian for targets.
02:48:55amiconnI added a workaround, but that one is not global
02:49:36linuxstbYes, we need a "TARGET_ENDIAN" or similar define in the build system. But that'a a discussion for another day.
02:53:31amiconnThe .ogg decoder is still running. Runs at 15%, that is on an 1.5 GHz Pentium M...
02:54:06linuxstbYes, something evil is happening inside that ogg decoder.
02:54:26amiconnShouldn't Tremor be fast & efficient?
02:54:37linuxstbYes, that's the theory.

08:41:02rickst131is the boatloader.bin on the iriverboot page up to date?
08:41:19ashridahno
08:41:53ashridahit doesn't support the hold switch properly, or the remote's record button, afaik
08:42:01rickst131oh ok.
08:42:09rickst131do i need to check out to get the newest?
08:42:37ashridahyes. it's also a good idea to compare it against someone else's to ensure you've got a correct build environment
08:43:12rickst131ah ok. thanks.
08:43:57LinusNi strongly advice you to only use the bootloader.bin in the wiki
08:44:51ashridahLinusN: is it up to date with hold switch support?
08:45:01LinusNno

08:45:30LinusNthe bootloader shares lots of code with the rest of the rockbox code
08:45:58LinusNso changes that seem to change stuff in the rockbox code will affect the bootloader too
08:46:10ashridahhrm. that's true
08:46:21ashridahstuff we've been playing with might break it
08:46:23LinusNand we dont verify the bootloader for every change in the rockbox code
08:46:36ashridahthe actual code that's doign the button checks is done fairly early tho, isn't it?

14:15:57markunmaybe the rockbox simulator is simulating to be on a slower machine?

14:24:54preglowbear in mind that the fixed point codecs _are_ slower on pcs
14:24:58preglowbut shouldn't be that slow
14:25:07ashridahi didn't think it'd be deliberately holding itself back, and thus, the codec's only getting 20% on a 2GHz athlon here, suggests there's something weird going on, if rockbox spends most of it's time sleeping
14:25:54ashridahthe profiling isn't very helpful. strlen and strcmp take out equal places at 22%, followed by a few other functions. of course, some of which get called a *lot* and thus are explainable.
14:25:57preglowashridah: afaik, the xxx2wav plugins don't even yield(), so that's improbable
14:25:59markunpreglow I tried the testdecoder that comes with Tremor here on my PC. autobahn decoded to HD at about 80 x real-time.
14:26:20preglowmarkun: yes, sounds plausible
14:26:25amiconn[IDC]Dragon: The only method I know of (yet) is to check the ROM version...
14:26:34preglowi remember libmad used a couple of percent cpu on my athlon tbird 1.4ghz
14:28:34amiconnashridah: Something must be *very* wrong. The 05:31 minutes ogg I use for testing takes ~30 minutes to convert with vorbis2wav, but only ~3 seconds with 'The GodFather'
14:29:24ashridahamiconn: yeah, well, as i say, this thing appears to be sleeping a good deal of the time.
14:31:47LinusNvorbis2wav uses a very small pcm buffer

14:43:30ashridahinteresting.
14:44:08ashridahthe X server isn't stealing time either, about 3% cpu.
14:44:21ashridahso, for some reason, the codecs are sleeping when used as viewers in the simulator.

14:45:36ashridahideally, we'd want to override anything that looks remotely like a 'sleep'alike call, and replace it with a busyloop
14:45:53ashridahthis will make it show up in a profiler
14:46:33ashridahproblem is, there doesn't look like anything obvious inside tremor's code that's sleeping. (ie, grep -ri sleep finds nothing :) )
14:46:40markunashridah: I think why increasing the size of pcmbuf doesn't do the trick.

14:47:51*ashridah wanders off to attend to other stuff for a few
14:48:28markunSo it's probably just decoding the same number of samples.. We could loop ov_read() and update a pointer inside the buffer until the buffer is full.

14:58:08preglowwhat tools do you have?
14:58:15jypBasically I'd like to run little test programs
14:58:40jypI have the gnu assembler
14:58:59preglowahh, didn't think it supported calmac
14:59:04jypI plan to implement an emulator too
14:59:22jypIt didn't until I implemented it ;)

15:00:05jypSo, I gather you have experience with dsps...
15:00:18ashridahmarkun: that's not a bad idea
15:00:51LinusNmpa2wav is running at 38% real time in 140MHz
15:01:01jyppreglow: You did a iir filter for the emac, I thougt maybe I could port it to calmmac
15:01:04preglowjyp: if you mean hardware, i actually have very little experience, but should be able to piece together stuff
15:01:10preglowjyp: ahh, sure
15:01:11dwihnoas in 1/3 of full speed?
15:01:43LinusNflac2wav is 77%
15:02:15soxhoy, im trying to compile the sim build on mac os x, could anyone take a look at the errors I get?
15:02:30soxi've upped the make report on http://www.jordfrihet.org/uimake.txt
15:02:48dwihnoSo none of the codecs is running realtime yet?
15:03:18ashridahmarkun: you're a fricking genius
15:03:43jyppreglow: Is this current ? http://glow.m0f0.net/rockbox/dsptest.c
15:03:49ashridahrofl. actually, i better double-check this.
15:03:53ashridahit could have a nasty screwup :)
15:03:56preglowLinusN: and btw, did your preliminary iram patch actually move the flac routine to iram?
15:04:01preglowjyp: gimme sec
15:04:16jypsure
15:04:19ashridahhrm. no. seems okay
15:04:48LinusNpreglow: yes
15:05:17LinusNit is done on a function or object level
15:05:39LinusNthe only thing moved to iram is your emac optimized function

15:05:55preglowLinusN: didn't measure much difference :/
15:06:07LinusNnope
15:06:23preglowbut of course, there will be a gain, no question about that
15:06:36preglowprobably just need to move in some data as well
15:06:45LinusNthe sdram is dead slow, so we need to take advantage of the iram
15:07:02elinenbedead slow! that's no good!
15:07:04markunTremor is decoding at 3000%!
15:07:07LinusNwe will even gain speed if we run the code directly from flash
15:07:31preglowLinusN: ahahah, not bad
15:07:34markunWell, on the simulator at least.
15:07:49preglowjyp: you need to be aware of how the fractional emac mode works, btw, the mac instruction does a full 32x32 bit = 64 bit multiply, but just keeps the upper 40 bits
15:08:09markunashridah: it does the trick :)
15:08:36jyppreglow: ok
15:08:40soxLinusN ja
15:08:44soxoops
15:08:48ashridahthat's a little more like it
15:08:49preglowjyp: and GET_ACC(_CLR) instruction automatically left shifts the result once
15:08:53ashridahgetting 250% realtime
15:09:12ashridahusing multiple calls to ov_read with offsets into a larger buffer
15:09:16elinenbemarkun: 3000% on the simulator... ah!
15:09:35preglowjyp: could you paste me the calmac manual again?
15:09:38elinenbeashridah: 250% realtime for what codec?
15:09:39ashridahmarkun: rofl. how many calls to ov_read did you make?
15:10:02ashridahelinenbe: tremor, using my dodgy hack, which (as expected) got a 10x speed increase for 10x more calls to ov_read.
15:10:07markunashridah: I increased the buffer by 100 and looped until the buffer was full.
15:10:11jyppreglow: http://www.mculand.com/sub1/mcu/calmrisc16_device/S3cc410.pdf
15:10:24jypit's in the datasheets wiki page now
15:10:28ashridahi'm just not sure if the calculated speed isn't skewed by this
15:11:06markunn = 0; while (n < BUFFSIZE) n += ov_read(&vf,pcmbuf + n,BUFFSIZE - n,&current_section);
15:11:50ashridahheh. that's neater than mine :)
15:12:21markunashridah: you also will have to define BUFFSIZE and use it to init pcmbuf of course..
15:12:26ashridahyeah. the only thing to check is that display_status is using the amount of data processed, and not assuming it's operating at single-frame granularity
15:12:33ashridahyeah
15:12:40LinusNalso use my latest change to xxx2wav.c
15:13:16markunLinusN: What did you change?
15:16:02LinusNit only updates the lcd once per second instead of once per function call
15:16:03ashridahmarkun: now comes the fun bit. test your change on the iriver :)
15:16:16ashridahor his
15:17:12ashridahor both

15:23:04preglowi get 0.80% more perforamnce
15:23:26*[IDC]Dragon just noticed that today is Rockbox release day!
15:23:27markunThen I did something wrong probably.
15:23:32preglowor something like that

15:33:13Zagor[IDC]Dragon: hehe, i actually thought about it yesterday.

15:35:18preglowahh
15:35:19preglowflac
15:35:36preglowthe gains might easily be swallowed with vorbis
15:36:18ashridahdwihno: you can buy premade, 9V cell-powered mini amps that fit inside a tin the size of a penguin mints tin :)
15:37:49Renkodwihno, sure there are no gain settings or other vol controls?
15:38:07ashridahdwihno: http://www.dansdata.com/cmoy.htm

15:43:53soxwould these small amps work to amp an external mic as well?
15:44:26ashridahuh. i'm not sure. i doubt it. microphone output tends to need a lot of gain
15:45:26ashridahyou'd probably be able to modify the gain of a chu-moy style amp to get the extra gain you need tho
15:45:44preglowmics typically need a ton of gain, yes
15:45:49preglowdepends on the type
15:45:59soxi was surprised to see that my iriver was lots better than my ajbr at getting a higher signal from a mic
15:46:31dwihnoRenko: just volume
15:46:41dwihnoI intend to use it with my computer
15:47:04soxcant wait to get rockbox working so that i can record with more ease, irivers rec interface is not nice...
15:48:56dwihnoashridah: looks interesting
15:49:58ashridahthe article's probably old, not sure if the guy dan bought the prebuilt amp from still does it, but plenty of other people will.
15:50:23ashridahand since it runs off a 9V amp, it won't be clipping like a 5V line-out would ;)

17:07:40Chamoishe is not here
17:07:46Chamois*LinusN
17:08:00preglowno, he left, but what is this very short buttonpress you speak of?
17:08:42Chamoiswhen you press the ON button on the iriver very shortly with the HOLD button ON the iriver start instead stays off
17:09:39preglowqueer
17:09:53soxi have another question on the same topic, i thought the basic function of the remote was working now? I dont see that on my unit, do I have to reflash?
17:10:09preglowno, spi is not supported yet, afaik
17:10:17soxah ok
17:10:32preglowit supports on button, but i guess that's got it's own wire
17:11:06soxbut i think i read what chamois is talking about in some old irc log, that the remote could do the same thing as the main unit, start irivers fw with ON+rec?
17:11:28soxor is it no way to start irivers original firmw with the remote?
17:14:38amiconnpreglow: Iirc the remote buttons are supported by the driver, only that no part of rockbox uses the remote button codes
17:15:00amiconn(except ON)
17:15:27preglowyes, i see the backlight comes on when i push stuff
17:16:01soxso it's a no to my last question then?
17:16:03preglowbut the on button probably is on a wire of its own anyway, so it can be started from the remote
17:16:13preglowunless the buttons don't use spi and i've misunderstood
17:16:18amiconnYes, the backlight coming on is directly handled in the driver
17:17:01amiconnNo, the buttons don't use spi. They are hooked up to the adc the same way as the main buttons, only using a different channel
17:17:13preglowhoke
17:17:31amiconnThe remote lcd uses spi iirc
17:18:15soxis this bootloader code?
17:19:18amiconnThe button driver code is shared between main rockbox & bootloader afaik
17:20:18preglowyes
17:20:20preglowmost code is
17:20:33preglowbootloader is just a specialized version of rockbox
17:20:39amiconn(unlike the archos bootloader, btw)
17:20:53preglowspace constraints?
17:21:35soxsomeone made a bootloader version with inversed start behaviour i remember, with iriver as default and rockbox with rec pressed
17:22:02amiconnpreglow: It is both saving space and that a full-fledged button driver isn't needed.
17:23:20soxanyone remember who?
17:23:44soxthis i would like until rockbox is more functional in everyday life
17:29:54*sox is sad because noone remembers

That way you can leave the iRiver flashed, but not have to fuss about to load the origin

19:43:57condor9Strange. Any ideas?

19:45:17condor9Yeah, because all the other settings are restored across a reboot.
19:45:24condor9My config was generated from within rockbox.
19:46:17amiconnNo, because the settings are actually loaded from the .cfg. The .cfg is not involved in the reload at boot
19:46:26condor9Oh.
19:46:49condor9Where is the reload at boot info stored?
19:46:54amiconnThe persistent settings are stored in a special sector of the hd, before the file system.
19:47:04condor9Maybe it's corrupted?
19:47:33amiconnSome settings are also stored in the rtc (only recorders have one)
19:48:10condor9Strange that it works for 2.2
19:48:11amiconnWhen this sector gets corrupted, the settings are reset to their defaults, so no setting will survive...
19:48:23amiconnHmm.
19:48:39condor9Can I re-initialize that sector?
19:49:25amiconnThis sector is rewritten completely when saving settings, so no need to initialise
19:50:35amiconnPlease go to Info->Debug->View partitions and tell me what it says

19:54:13amiconnHmm, that partition layout is a bit unusual, in that the number of sectors per track is not 63.
19:54:50amiconnBtw, that means rockbox 2.2 (which puts the config sector unconditionally at sector 61) overwrites a sector within your first partition!
19:55:39condor9Ok. So, how should I restructure my drive?
19:55:42amiconnCurrent rockbox calculates the position of the config sector as (lowest_partition_start - 2), so it's 6 in your case
19:56:14amiconnIf that doesn't work with your layout, maybe there's a bug in rockbox...
19:56:50amiconn(Btw, I just checked, .cfg files created by rockbox use dos linefeed style)

20:10:24mrelwoodanyone tried to record with the iriver yet?
20:13:10amiconncondor9: I think I know the problem... and it's not a rockbox bug, but rather a rockbox design problem (the 'hidden' config sector) in conjunction with your OS... :(
20:13:57amiconnRockbox 2.2 indeed saves at sector 61, which is happily inside of what looks like a FAT of your first partition
20:14:44amiconnHowever, I guess rockbox 2.3+ tries to save correctly, but your system doesn't leave the sectors before the first partition alone
20:15:23condor9You mean it changes them after rockbox writes to them?
20:15:31amiconnUsually, sector 0 is the master boot record and holds the partition table. The first partition starts one track later (usually at sector 63, in your case at sector 8)
20:16:10amiconnFor your setup, rockbox 2.3+ tries to save at sector 6, but sector 6 gets overwritten by a sector looking identical to sector 0
20:16:36amiconnI guess you OS stores copies of the MBR in sector 1...7, thereby overwriting the rockbox config
20:16:56amiconnThe fact that a part of your settings stay is also explainable
20:17:24condor9Wow ... thanks for the diagnosis.
20:17:27amiconnSince you have a recorder, the settings stored in the RTC stay intact
20:17:53amiconnOne more reason to change the rockbox config save to use a real file...
20:18:37condor9I partitioned my drive using Disk Utility ... perhaps I should do it differently.
20:19:08amiconnBtw, the problem that happened to the font setting will also occur if you try to set a different language or wps
20:19:26condor9Yeah, I noticed the wps didn't restore either.
20:19:45amiconnThese are settings that are stored in the .cfg sector only...
20:19:45condor9Can I pad the first 62 sectors?
20:20:03condor9or 60 or whatever?
20:20:22amiconnHmm. In order to get the defaukt disk layout, you would need to repartition the drive to use 63 sectors/track
20:20:45condor9Would that fix my problem?
20:21:01amiconnHowever, I doubt that it'll help. Maybe the OS extends its copying of sector 0 to sector 1..62 then.
20:21:28amiconnYou could at least try it, it it's not too much work
20:21:42amiconn(I wouldn't recommend doing this via USB1.1)
20:22:11condor9It's not too much trouble, but I can't do it right now.
20:22:39condor9Thanks so much for your help.
20:23:07amiconnOkay. When you will get to doing it, and it actually fixes the problem, just drop a small note.
20:24:05condor9I'll let you know either way, but I'm determined to get it fixed. Thanks again.
