00:02:51HClwell, i hadn't set the proper sample rate..
00:03:08HClit should be 44100hz, stereo, right?
00:03:36rasherI believe so, yes
00:04:25HClbah.
00:04:27HClstill not working.
00:04:43HCli'll just commit it to cvs with a define around it to disable it for now, so people can look at it if they want to.

00:25:16HCli wrote an sound driver for rockboy
00:25:18HCland it doesn't work
00:25:19HClyou?
00:28:45DeadManI tried to get my fathers PC working but the drive is fubar
00:29:12HClmk
00:29:45DeadManand he was so hoping to get the thing working as he bought it second hand from some dodgey dealer down the road ;)
00:30:06HClheh
00:30:10HClthats never a good idea
00:30:16HCla second hand computer is second hand for a reason
00:30:17DeadManI did not say much to bruise his ego...I think he realised he was too impulsive
00:30:21HCleither its broken or too old
00:30:36DeadManand the funny thing is
00:30:53DeadManhe found another old PC laying out on the road (Old PIII 500)
00:31:02DeadManand that hard disk did not work either :D
00:31:21HClpeople throw p3 500's on the road where you live? O.o.
00:31:47DeadManso we went down PC World who we phoned beforehand (Head office) who said it was open until 5pm sunday and when we got there they had closed at 4pm :D
00:31:53DeadManYes they do
00:32:13DeadManso we could not get another hard disk
00:32:35HClo.O.
00:32:43HClgee. i'd ask to send some my way.
00:32:49DeadManOh and a AV connector box he bought does not supprt RGB via SCART so that has to go back too the shop.
00:32:54HClmy server runs on p3 550mhz xeons...
00:32:56DeadManIt was not my fathers day today :)
00:33:17HClav connector box?
00:33:22rasherthe only thing I own that does rgb via scart is my dvd player
00:33:25rasher:-\
00:33:30DeadMan4 way SCART switching box
00:33:32rashernot very useful.
00:33:36HCla loooot of things that have scart inputs
00:33:42HCldon't support rgb
00:33:50HClmy sega mega drive does rgb by scart
00:33:56HCli can't hook it up to anything but a tv.
00:33:58DeadManyeah only 1 RGB input on the TV too
00:34:02HCland since we don't have a tv with scart
00:34:05DeadManand 3 devices that could do RGB
00:34:08HClit means i can't hook it up at all :/
00:34:16DeadManah well
00:34:25rasherno scart at all?! what century do you live in?
00:34:34DeadManI looped 2 devices to AV 1 and used AV 2 on S-Video instead
00:34:49HClthe century of campuswide wireless and 100mbit internet lines.
00:34:51DeadManhe seems happy with that
00:34:54*rasher prods awk with sharp sticks
00:34:55HCland a cheap budget.
00:35:31DeadManI told him to throw out the PIII into the trash
00:35:38DeadManI can't be bothered with it
00:36:03DeadManmore clutter
00:36:43HCleh. ok.
00:36:47DeadManwasteful neh? :)
00:36:53HClnot very smart, you can probably sell it for at least 50$
00:37:13DeadManmaybe...it has 128mb of sdram onboard too
00:37:21HClonboard sdram? O.o;
00:37:26HClwhat kind of a motherboard is that?
00:37:35DeadManonboard not literally
00:37:51HCli don't understand why you throw stuff away like that...
00:38:30DeadMantoo much effort for not much gain
00:38:36tvelocityyeah, if people throw away like that pIII's, you should build a beowulf cluster:P
00:38:59HClmhm.
00:39:07HClmy server is a quad p3
00:39:32DeadManI know it could be rebuilt into something useful...like for some background tasks or someone might want it for basic stuff. But I could not be bothered
00:40:18DeadManI'm always upgrading and throwing stuff aside or away
00:40:38HClwell.
00:40:40HClhm.
00:40:45HCl*looks around his room*
00:40:50HCl*spots 4 unused computers*
00:40:53HCli just. save them up >.>;
00:40:57DeadManlol
00:40:58HClsince its a waste to throw away
00:41:03HClbut i don't have much use for them either
00:41:26tvelocityyou could just have 'em fold
00:41:35DeadManYeah I could have built stuff from old bits too. I decided to just stick with 2 PC's. My electricity bills are high enough
00:42:29DeadManif something is worth anything I ebay it anyhow
00:42:42HClheh....
00:42:47HCllets see..
00:42:49HCli have...
00:43:08HClone athlon 600 with 640mb ram and a 10gb hdd or so..
00:43:13HCljust laying around on my shelf dusting
00:43:24HCland a p75 and a p90 with no harddisk

00:43:34Bagder;-)
00:44:08DeadManI have a 800mhz PIII upstairs with 640mb of sdram being used as a fileserver for 1.2tb of hard disks
00:44:37HCli have a quad xeon p3 550mhz with 2gb of ram as my server..
00:44:39DeadManit does nothing much else
00:44:47tvelocityi wish i had 1,2TB in HDs too

00:44:59*HCl has around 360 in total or so.
00:45:06HClour filesharing net is my filestorage
00:45:09HCli don't really need filestorage
00:45:16HCli play movies and anime straight off our network
00:45:28DeadManwhen I run low on space I just buy the next biggest drive you can get at consumer level and shove it in a USB2 case lol
00:45:54DeadManstack em on top of each other
00:46:14DeadMannothing I have is even raid
00:46:40DeadManspeed is not what I need nor is security since I tend to backup to DVD's anyhow
00:46:51DeadManI just use them as temp storage
00:47:12DeadMandon't ask what for ;)
00:47:53HCl24gb is enough temp storage for me
00:48:05tvelocityprogram updates, linux iso's and emails of course i guess!
00:48:22tvelocity:P
00:49:22DeadManI should have just not worried about a hard disk and gave my father Knoppix on CD :)

01:34:55XShocKHCl: hi, did sound work in rockbox?
01:34:57XShocKrockboy
01:35:41rasherDon't think so
01:35:50XShocKok
01:44:06rasheror maybe.. actually
01:44:16rasherI'm unsure now :)
01:44:54XShocK:).
01:45:08XShocKI'm trying to find my usb cable to test what we have.
01:48:54*rasher snarls at Xfree86
01:49:14rasherplz to be stopping the crashing
01:50:01DeadMan:)
02:00
02:13:45XShocKI suspect that rockboy freezes with sound because it is given an un-aligned data size
02:14:11XShocKit would cause an intrerrupt being fired indefinitely.
02:14:17 Quit Stryke` ("Friends don't let friends listen to Anti-Flag")
02:18:17HClo.o!
02:18:21HClun aligned data size
02:18:22HCltell tell.
02:18:34XShocKit was a guess. :)
02:18:48HCli'm almost certain that rockboy has unaligned data sizes.
02:18:52HClanyways
02:18:59HCli wrote an audio driver for it
02:19:02HClits in cvs
02:19:03XShocKno.. i mean not multiple of 4. :)
02:19:15XShocKis it working?
02:19:22HClbut when i try to use it, it crashes
02:19:22HClno
02:19:25HClit just freezes
02:19:26XShocKok
02:19:37HClits probably a flaw in the api
02:19:47HClcause i don't think there's much to be wrong about my audio driver
02:19:52HClits disabled with a define by default
02:20:15HCl rb->pcm_play_data(pcm.buf,pcm.pos,NULL);
02:20:15HCl while(rb->pcm_is_playing()); /* spinlock */
02:20:15HCl pcm.pos = 0;
02:20:40HCli broke the iriver sim build, but someone is just gonna have to implement sound in the simulators to fix it..
02:21:58 Quit asdsd (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer))
02:21:59HClthats the code for rockboy's audio driver
02:22:11tvelocitywhat does this mean? should we expect audio on rockboy soon?
02:22:21HCldon't expect anything.
02:22:33HClif it works, we'll mention it.
02:23:36 Join asdsd [0] (~asdsd@h-67-100-24-22.miatflad.dynamic.covad.net)
02:23:44HClXShocK: anyways, rockboy simply calls a function when it needs to play audio, pcm.buf being the buffer, pcm.pos the amount to play, and it needs to finish playing before returning
02:23:58HCland it has to do some side things like returning 1 and setting position back to 0..
02:25:02XShocKi understand. what i suspect is that in pcm_playback.c while setting DMA, it sets a bad size and position.
02:25:37XShocKand also it writes five ZEROS each 4096 byte buffer, hich is bug too since it will click each time.
02:25:49HCli honestly wouldn't know
02:25:50HClmhm.
02:26:02HCldo you have cvs access..?
02:26:34XShocKno,i don't have access to it. i will try to fix it, and give it to someone

04:03:57XShocKas expected quality is very bad, since it stops, and starts dac each time, whereas we need to continually write to buffer withour stopping.

10:34:02amiconnrasher: Algorithmically creating bold and italic versions of bitmap fonts isn't that far fetched. AmigaOS does that, and it doesn't look too bad
10:34:30preglowfor bitmap fonts??
10:34:51rasherI'm more concerned about the size.. mmost of them are tiny

10:37:06 Quit preglow ("leaving")
10:40:22amiconnThe algorithmic emboldening, although simple, works considerably well. (1) Take the glyph pattern (2) Shift it one pixel to the right (3) OR it with the original pattern. This would e.g. create an 'atadore' look-alike from the default rockbox font
10:41:03rasherfair enough
10:41:31rasheratadore is plain lovely
10:42:52rasherhow about itallics?
10:43:21amiconnThe italicze algorithm is similar (1) Take the original pattern (2) Start at the bottom, go upward (3) For every 2 pixel lines going up, shift the pattern one more pixel to the right
10:43:52rasherand that actually works?
10:44:03rasherI mean, I get the idea, but does it look right?
10:45:03***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
10:47:38amiconnThe result doesn't look as good as the emboldening, but it works

12:17:28DJ_Dooms_DayHeya
12:17:33HClxshock found a bug in the audio driver.. and he said he got rockboy sound to work, though it sounded strange and not right yet..
12:17:46DJ_Dooms_DayCan someone give me me a few pointers on how to set up a wiki?
12:18:12DJ_Dooms_DayI've registered, but i have NO clue as to how i start documenting and changing the topic to something else

12:19:32HClwell, let me search and paste what he said..
12:19:46HCl04:54 < XShocK> i will finish the sound thingy with rockboy tomorrow
12:19:46HCl04:54 < XShocK> now go to bed.
12:19:46HCl04:55 < XShocK> i did that there are no clicks and glitches, but for some
12:19:46HCl reason sound is veery strange, but i can hear msic
12:19:47HCl04:55 < XShocK> bye all
12:20:35LinusNthe pcm driver is not designed to be started over like that
12:20:50LinusNit will generate huge clicks the restarting
12:21:06HClyea, he said something like that..
12:21:14LinusNthat's because it starts the dma in a non-optimal way
12:21:35LinusNstill, restarting the dma should never be needed
12:21:40DJ_Dooms_DayOk, how about a wiki tutorial atleast?
12:21:51LinusNDJ_Dooms_Day: what is the problem?
12:22:34DJ_Dooms_DayIm starting a wiki for the iriver Rockbox theme design, i've registered at the wiki, but i have no clue as what to do next
12:23:16LinusNthere is no need for us to do a wiki tutorial, since there are already thousands on the net
12:23:36DJ_Dooms_DayAh ok, so its not individual to the site

12:29:49LinusNi don't really know, the gnuboy sound api is a little weird
12:30:21DJ_Dooms_DayAhuh, ok i see how a wiki works now...its basicly a live-editable webpage true?
12:30:22HClit just submits sound to be played regularly..
12:30:30LinusNfrom what i gather from reading the HACKING text, it outputs the samples in chunks
12:30:58LinusNand you are supposed to wait in pcm_submit() until all samples have been played
12:31:05HClyea
12:31:11HClat the moment i have it implemented like this..
12:31:12DJ_Dooms_DayTell me one thing, how do i change the topic of my wiki
12:31:22HCl rb->pcm_play_data(pcm.buf,pcm.pos,NULL);
12:31:22HCl while(rb->pcm_is_playing()); /* spinlock */
12:31:22HCl pcm.pos = 0;
12:31:22HCl return 1;
12:31:24LinusNbut what about the time between the calls to pcm_submit()?
12:31:38HClit does emulation in that time
12:32:16HClits a typical example of a non streaming format..
12:32:46LinusNbut in 44100 Hz, you don't have many microseconds between the samples
12:33:02LinusNso we will probably need to set the sample rate back to 11025
12:33:11HClyea, the sample rate was originally 11025
12:33:27HClwe'll probably need something in the api that allows you to set sample rate etc.?
12:33:32LinusNand get rid of the click on pcm dma restart
12:33:40LinusNHCl: yes

13:40:05t0masso you make a box (no border) and make that the scrolling area of a textline
13:40:07*amiconn wonders why someone would want an image in the wps at all
13:40:16Bagdersure, then set a box and then assign particular tags to the particular boxes

13:52:09underlordi have a worthless kodak mc3 in the garage, is there no chance that i could make it worth something with rockbox, i heard somewhere in google that they use very similar hardware as the archos
13:53:40Bagdereven if it is, it takes a lot of work
13:54:08underlordahh
13:55:33underlordhow do you upload new firmware to the flash in an iriver if your code screws up? do you have an external programmer wired in with the flash chip?
13:56:01Bagderwhen you reset rockbox, it reboots into the original iriver firmware
13:56:15Bagderthen you can reflash using that
13:56:38underlordas in turn off and turn on or the pen button on the base of the unit?

13:57:34Bagderand if rockbox works, you can just hold rec to boot straight into the original firmware
13:58:26underlordso this is a software solution which depends on rockbox not being totaly screwed up or is there something cool in the hardware of h1xx?

14:11:38LinusN8khz is a very common rate

14:12:09ashridahi know, but they've just specified 4KHz as the voice bandwidth.
14:12:29LinusNand nyquist tell you to double the rate
14:12:29ashridahso do i take it as 8samples /Hz? or 16 and make it an isdn line?
14:12:30amiconnYes, and you need 8 kHz sample rate for 4 kHz bandwidth

14:13:46ashridahLinusN: how can you arrive at doubling the rate when you don't know the signal level? or do you just take it as '1' (and thus log2(M) is 0...?
14:13:52LinusNi.e one ISDN B channel
14:14:09LinusNashridah: signal level has nothing to do with it
14:14:16ashridahLinusN: yeah, but none of this is specified in the course material OR in the question :)
14:14:27LinusNread up on the nyquist sampling theorem
14:14:39ashridahthe only nyquist function we've been given is bitrate = 2*bandwidth*log2(M) where M is the signal level.
14:14:49ashridahwhich comes back to the question sucking :)
14:15:12*ashridah notes that he already knows all of this from prior experience, andi s mostly bitching about the subject and it's shoddy lecturer
14:15:32kurzhaarrockerThe nyquist theroem is about frequency only, it doesn't say anything about bitrates
14:15:57LinusNlog2(M) is the word size
14:16:32ashridahLinusN: so i'd use '2' then because it's binary?
14:16:49LinusNashridah: so it all goes down to defining "PCM voice call" then
14:16:50ashridahand thus have log2(2) which is just 1, eliminating it, and making it a doubling of the sampling rate? :)
14:16:59ashridahLinusN: exactly :)
14:17:09ashridahagain, which isn't specified anywhere
14:17:12LinusNashridah: don't confuse "bit rate" and "sampling rate"
14:17:56ashridahtrue.

14:20:20ashridahyes. but they haven't said any of this in the lectures or in the tutes. :)
14:20:36LinusNbut they still need to tell you about standard voice pcm rates
14:21:16LinusNmaybe you slept during that lecture? or played marioland on your iriver?
14:22:16ashridahwell, they didn't mention the standards. but i knew the typical sample rate = double highest frequency. from work i'd done previously.
14:22:35ashridahinfact, the course has ignored isdn completely as far as i can see
14:22:37ashridahwhich seems odd
14:22:58kurzhaarrocker<- slept during those lessons about Fourier Transformation :(
14:22:58ashridahsince it's still decidedly prevalent if you're installign a connection of any kind of size here in .au
14:23:15ashridahkurzhaarrocker: god. i was awake for those. and they still mostly missed me :(
14:23:57LinusNuseful knowledge though
14:24:32kurzhaarrocker... and up to date I was to lazy to learn how to fast fourier transform.
14:25:09LinusNwell, few people know how it really works, and even fewer are able to actually code their own fft
14:25:43kurzhaarrockerwhich is exactly the only task I'd like the knowledge for.
14:25:57underlordin iriver is usb handled by some usb->hdd interface chipset or in the coldfire chip?
14:26:11HClchipset.
14:26:33underlordahh, no chance of usb to go then?
14:26:42HClusb to go?
14:26:49LinusNunderlord: nope
14:26:52underlordwhere iriver acts as usb host
14:26:55HClno.
14:27:00underlordbugger
14:27:26ashridahwait a sec. this is suggesting that the bitrate is 8,000bps. that sounds absurdly low.
14:28:03LinusNashridah: sampling rate, not bit rate
14:28:34ashridahokay. then my lecture notes are DEFINENTLY wrong. they state (and i quote "bit rate = 2 * bandwidth * log2(signal levels)
14:28:34LinusN8000 samples/sec times 8 bits equals 64000
14:28:37ashridah"

14:39:53kurzhaarrockerThanx ashridah, that's what I assumed. My problem wasn't the "patch" command but the patch file. It doesn't contail all the changes. :(
14:40:15ashridahunderlord: that's also partly a matter of cost. eventually it gets to the point where smaller chips cost more not less.
14:40:47underlordwhy?
14:41:08ashridahharder to get
14:41:22ashridahmore demand for bigger chips == lower price and higher availability.
14:41:28underlordi would think heaps of things would still be using small chips though
14:41:30ashridahsmaller ones get phased out
14:42:09ashridahand if it becomes cheaper to use a chip with more capacity at the same physical dimensions, you'll do it to save even as little as a few cents per unit
14:42:18ashridahover a run of 100,000 units, that adds up

19:38:49t0masmost time yes...
19:39:01t0masbut I've bought my server in good state... secondhand...

19:39:50t0maswell... my server is just one that got replaced...

19:40:28HClwe got donated a whole serverblock of t-mobile

19:40:43t0masbut do you have a better idea for the wps?
19:41:08HClnot yet, i think that things like next song might be useful
19:41:10*t0mas starts to like this source hacking a little :)
19:41:16t0masyeah, it was on there
19:41:25HClthe primary reason why i don't like iriver's usage of screen display
19:41:28t0masbut the next song thing isn't working right with iriver yet...
19:41:33HClis that it wastes space that can be used for useful info
19:41:51t0masyeah, I had the last line like this: Next: Artist - title
19:41:58t0masfor 3 seconds..
19:42:03t0masthen Next: filename.mp3
19:42:05t0masfor 3 seconds
19:42:10t0masloop.. like that..
19:42:39t0masbut on iRiver (or maybe only on simulator) the next song option doesn't really work

21:51:12XShocKhi linus
21:51:18LinusNhi
21:54:04XShocKthe main bug was in dma_stop. it should have IIS2CONFIG = 0x800; in order to stop dac. in terms of it it fired CE error in DSR0
21:54:49XShocKi also changed a couple of things such as initiating UDA1380 in the start
21:55:16XShocKand also eliminated dac stopping and starting,
21:55:36XShocKi will try to polish it so that it works fine. now need to go.

22:08:28XShocKi agree, but i think stopping dac is better, i hope it would save some energy.
22:08:28XShocK:)
22:09:43XShocKand by some strangeness it fired CE error in DSR0 with BCR0 being 0, which mean that dac was requesting data when it finishes, i added stopping of DAC and it worked fine.

22:27:06ARoganwithin a 20 hr period. the device will just turn itself on
22:27:15ARoganjust sitting on a table off. all of a sudden it turns on
22:27:32ARoganthen the on button is kind of stuck for a while. after you mash it a bit. it works fine for another day
22:27:35ARoganany ideas?
22:27:45ARoganI think my archos has become self aware

22:33:37t0masfirst background idea
22:33:47t0maswith a little customed wps
22:34:58t0masI've replaced the background plan with an overlay... because this doesn't get overwritten by textlines
22:35:14LinusNoverlay?
22:35:25Bagdert0mas: we still need margins or similar
22:35:30Bagdercalling it overlay doesn't solve that
22:35:48Bagderor textboxes
22:35:52LinusNwhat are those things on each side, above the progress bar?
22:36:00t0masLinusN: After the lcd_clear you can paint something, and call it a background.. because it get's overwritten
22:36:17t0masand before the lcd_update, you can do "overlay" because it overwrites everything else

22:36:40t0masThose things on the side are an idea of "nobby" on the boards
22:36:53LinusNbut what are they?
22:36:53t0masI just copy/pasted his interface idea... to test it :)
22:37:00t0masnothing... just static images
22:37:06LinusNok
22:37:13t0masI guess he want's em to move like the iriver version
22:37:29LinusNand the 3 icons, are they separate bitmaps?
22:37:42t0masnope, this is just a very basic "overlay" image
22:37:47t0masjust displaying 1 bmp over it all
22:37:57LinusNwhat happens when the test scrolls?
22:38:10t0masHaven't fully tested
22:38:15t0masbut I guess it overwrites
22:38:22LinusNit will
22:38:29t0masnot sure..
22:38:38t0masbackground will be overwritten...
22:38:52t0masbut the overlay is painted just before the lcd_update... sa maybe it's intact...
22:39:08Bagderyes, it'll scroll under the icons
22:39:16LinusNthe scrolling does lcd_update_rect() in another thread
22:39:16BagderI guess
22:39:24Bagderah right
22:39:29t0masLinusN: in that case it will overwrite
22:40:00t0masso maybe we should use the boxed idea we had this morning?
22:40:11t0masto make scrolling happen in a box..
22:40:37LinusNi have a patch that solves half the problem

22:59:46LinusNmainly for pupup menus, but it will work for the wps too
23:00
23:00:04LinusNhowever, the wps might want separate margins for each line
23:02:04t0mashm... is it ok for me to try a rewrite of it?
23:02:19t0masthe wps is now just not designed for this kind of idea's
23:02:52t0masand I guess it's less work to write a new format... than to try to get images and margin's into the one availible now?
23:09:40 Quit ARogan ("CGI:IRC")
23:10:56Bagdera new wps format?
23:12:16t0masyes...
23:12:45t0masor someone must have a great idea on how to get images integrated in the current format?
23:14:45Bagderit could simply be "%mf|filename|x|y"
23:15:44t0mas%mf|filename|x|y|z
23:15:48t0maswould work...
23:15:50Bagderz?
23:15:57t0masbefore of behind text
23:16:13Bagderwhy would you want text and graphics on top of each other?
23:16:33Bagderbut sure, we can support that
23:16:40elinenbetext on top of a album cover graphic
23:16:40t0maswell.. because text lines overwrite the whole line... if you pad em with spaces
23:16:49t0masso that should be on top
23:16:54Bagderah right, and with multiple pics...
23:16:59t0masbut on top graphic's should be refreshed more
23:17:09Bagdertext lines should not overwrite the whole line
23:17:14Bagderthat would be stupid
23:17:15t0masbut they do :)
23:17:22t0mas %ia
23:17:26Bagderthey DO yes, but we DO not support images
23:17:29t0maswould print: " Artist"
23:17:37t0masand spaces are cleared...
23:18:02Bagderand I repeatedly mention margins or textboxes for a reason
23:18:07t0masso maybe LinusN can fix this with the patch... so we don't longer use spaces... and we can use the simple %mf|filename|x|y format
