01:44:55Adity1hello?
01:45:00HClhi :3
01:45:10Adity1hey HCl
01:45:29Adity1I cant get my damn mouse to work with linux
01:45:35Adity1wireless.. *sigh*
01:45:37HClah o.o
01:45:58Adity1how do you print incoming mouse data?
01:46:05HClcat /dev/psaux?
01:46:09Adity1I remember there is a command to do that
01:46:13Adity1ah.. I think thats it.. thanks
01:47:05Adity1noe
01:47:12Adity1definitely not working
01:47:13Adity1gah
01:48:04HCllinux can be such a beep to setup properly
01:48:11HCland people tend to blame it on hw manufacturers
01:55:20Adity1mmmmmm
01:55:24Adity1think I foundmy problem
01:55:30HClmm?
01:55:31Adity1thing was looking at /dev/mouse
01:55:40Adity1when it was really supposed to look at /dev/input/mice
01:55:43preglowwell, it is a hw manufacturer problem if you look at it one way
01:55:54Adity1its usually not
02:00
02:02:08HClmeh
02:02:14HCllinux is just mostly oss software
02:02:17Adity1hmm this should do it
02:02:22HCland though oss people can generally code okish
02:02:35HClthey're terrible at user interface design and userfriendlyness.
02:02:40HCllike me :p
02:02:44HCl*points at databox*
02:02:51Adity1hence.. the monstrosity that is GIMP
02:02:51HClbut at least i'm aware that its cruddy
02:02:56HClwell
02:02:58HClyea.
02:02:58preglowthat applies to most coders
02:03:01HClthe interface of gimp sucks
02:03:02preglownot just oss people
02:03:03HClbut honestly
02:03:05HClgimp is great
02:03:05HClo.o
02:03:08Adity1Hcl, I can design interface and such if you want..
02:03:08HClaside from the interface.
02:03:10zewhats wrong with gimp's interface?
02:03:13Adity1thats what I do most of the time anyways
02:03:14preglowthe interface of gimp isn't that bad
02:03:16Adity1ze: it sucks?
02:03:24zeAdity1: that doesn't say whats wrong with it
02:03:37HClits not very practical with all the tiny windows
02:03:44HClrather than using one big one and using docking windows in there.
02:03:53Adity1I find it annoying how everything is hidden
02:04:02Adity1photoshop is like the best one ever
02:04:04HCland its tricky to even save a certainfile
02:04:04zei hate one big window apps
02:04:07Adity1you don't have to search for shit
02:04:08zelike the way photoshop is
02:04:11HClcause you have to click it and select from a menu etc
02:04:13zeits just a bunch of wasted space
02:04:23zeblocking other apps that i'll want to use in conjuction
02:04:32Adity1like what ze?
02:04:46zelike my irssi term where i can do math to calculate dimensions or whatever
02:05:06zeor a term where i can run other commandline image-processing apps
02:05:07zeor whatever
02:05:16Adity1I have been using photoshop for about 4 years now.. never found it annoying.. its nice that I dont have to worry about 20 dialogs
02:05:26zewell thats you on windows
02:05:33zeyou're used to that limited operating paradigm
02:05:41Adity1sure.. w/e
02:05:43zewindows pisses me off every time i use it, cause everything gets in the way of everything else
02:05:50HClO.o.
02:06:01HClwhy can't we just agree that people have different needs? :P
02:06:03Adity1w/e you say ze.. I am tired of arguing with one-sided people
02:06:04zei'm used to sloppy focus and non-auto window raising
02:06:13*HCl shivers at sloppy focus
02:06:13preglowhazha
02:06:14Adity1I use both linux and windows
02:06:17zeand i can do stuff so much faster like that
02:06:19preglowcmon
02:06:24preglowyou're not very dual sided either here
02:06:33preglowi'm off before this evolves to a flame fest
02:06:37Adity1and I am telling you.. windows is good for design.. linux is good for programming/servers etc..
02:06:38HClXD
02:06:41HCli'm with ya preglow
02:06:44HCli need to sleep anyways
02:06:45zehehe
02:06:55Adity1pfft
02:06:58*HCl goes to pet his kitty
02:07:00 Quit preglow ("lol")
02:07:10*Adity1 hurls a bucket of napalm at HCl
02:07:11*HCl just goes afk though, not poof :p
02:07:13zehow about how hydrogen has it
02:07:15*HCl eats it.
02:07:18Adity1hmm.. now where did tat match box go..
02:07:21HClafk :p
02:07:24Adity1ah there it is.
02:07:29zeit can be one-window ala photoshop or multi-window ala gimp
02:07:33zeand you can switch it in the prefs
02:08:09zethat way you can use what you like
02:08:11Adity1thats not the main problem ze.. there are just too many dialogs in GIMP.. that could have been organized much better
02:08:30zebut honestly i don't see any logical reason to have things in one window like that, since it just needs subwindows for everything anyway
02:08:36zewell there's no fewer dialogs in photoshop
02:08:49zethey're just subwindows of the main one
02:09:09 Join austriancoder [0] (~austrianc@80.120.117.30)
02:09:16austriancoderhi
02:09:17 Join tvelocity [0] (~tony@ipa37.2.tellas.gr)
02:09:26zeand at least gimp's can dock together as of >=2.0 or whatever
02:09:46zethe way i got mine i've got 4 windows when i've got 1 image open...
02:09:47HClze: the benefit is that you can raise them on top of other windows all at once
02:09:50Adity1have you ever used Photoshop CS?
02:10:04zea group of dialogs on the left, a group on the right, the toolbox, and the image window
02:10:09Adity1you can move each part and organize them in palletes.. whichever way you want it
02:10:17zeHCl: so group them via your WM and you can too
02:10:29Adity1ze..
02:10:30HClum. i'm not sure how to do that :p
02:10:30zeHCl: though personally that'd just annoy me, i like to raise a window only when i need to
02:10:34Adity1I dont want to do extra shit
02:10:39HCli like to have all the toolwindows
02:10:39Adity1I want things to just work..
02:10:42HClof something i'm editing
02:10:43HClheh.
02:10:45Adity1and windows lets me do that
02:10:46Adity1so eh
02:10:59Adity1I should say photoshop
02:11:07Adity1because I have nothing against linux
02:11:08Adity1just gimp..
02:11:12zewell see, i guess thats where we differ
02:11:13HCllol.
02:11:21HCli like gimp
02:11:26austriancoderdsoes anybody know, if linus started to write code to work with audiosettings?
02:11:28HCli haven't used it in ages though
02:11:30zei like things to just do what i tell it to and not make assumptions about what i want it to do
02:11:32HCland the windows port is just crap
02:11:45*HCl doesn't even know whether his tablet is supported in linux
02:11:54HCllinux is useless to me while it can't do 802.1x
02:11:59zeHCl: i've heard the windows port of gimp is pretty decent in recent times
02:12:02austriancoderi got now a working i2c interface and tuner seems to work.. now i am hacking uda1380 code to enabel analog input
02:12:14HClze: maybe, last version i've used was 1.3, i think
02:12:18HClaustriancoder: nice
02:12:24Adity1hmm
02:12:27Adity1what in fucking hell..
02:12:30zeHCl: and there's a patch for it that gives it photoshop's one-window style deal, so it doesn't flood the taskbar
02:12:33HClaustriancoder: any progress on making it possible to record from radio?
02:12:39Adity1slack wont see my internet connection
02:12:52HCl"see" your internet connection?
02:12:53HClO.o.
02:13:08HClyou mean network card?
02:13:09Adity1as in .. its not connecting
02:13:27austriancoderHCl: no.. at the moment not.. i am playing a little bit with the uda1380 ...
02:13:33HClokies
02:13:36HCljust wondering
02:13:42HClin the end it should be possible, right/
02:13:47HCl?
02:14:16austriancoderyep it should be possible
02:14:20HCl :)
02:14:32austriancoderbut first i want to hear radio :)

12:56:27AEnertiaHey i've seen a huge hole in the codecs page...
12:56:44LinusNfill it, fast!
12:56:48AEnertiaBecause the ihp3xxx series supports video playback
12:57:00AEnertiaIt's an undocumented feature
12:57:30*rasher adds speex while we're at it
12:57:49LinusNwe will support video playback, but with our own video format
12:58:05AEnertiaThere is info on mystic river for the various encoder setting you need to have for it to work.
12:58:16AEnertiaProbably a good idea
12:58:18AEnertia=-)
12:58:39AEnertiaBut it might be prudent to add the video dec libraries around to the codecs page...
12:58:58AEnertiaIt might make some of the decisions for implementing the audio codecs clearer
12:59:23LinusNsince you will have to reencode 99% of all vodeo you want to see, we will use our own format
12:59:30LinusNvideo
13:00
13:00:01AEnertiaBTW as a user of an old jbrv2 (which is now recylced in a usb externall hdd case after dieing beyond recovery)... and now the owner of a ihp3xx
13:00:07LinusNwhich will (probably, hopefully) have full speed frame rate
13:00:25AEnertiaI am happy to be back into the fray.. =-)
13:00:32LinusNinstead of the 10fps in the H3x0 iriver firmware
13:00:45AEnertia;-)
13:01:24AEnertiaI've used a lot of Portable devices and rockbox remains the BEST interface hands down
13:01:41AEnertiaI was actually really disappointed with the irivers interface and firmware...
13:01:44rasherooh, speex has a fixed-point port in-progress
13:01:45LinusNgood to hear
13:01:56AEnertiaCheers for everything so far...
13:02:09*LinusN has an H320
13:02:50AEnertiaOh and with the usb host... there isn't any discussion on the forums or wikifaq... any ideas about that?
13:03:46LinusNnot yet
13:04:55AEnertiakk...
13:05:06LinusNwe haven't started with the H300 port yet
13:05:32AEnertiaHave iriver said anything/given any idication of cooperating ?
13:05:53Bagderwe haven't asked them
13:05:58Bagderthey haven't said anything
13:06:24AEnertiaDo you think it's worth trying?
13:06:28LinusNone of their representatives have vaguely expressed a wish to make contact
13:06:39LinusNthey know about us
13:06:51LinusNi don't think it's worth to make contact
13:06:51AEnertiaWell that's somthing i guess.
13:06:56BagderI don't think we have much to gain
13:07:13LinusNif they want anything, they know where to find us
13:07:20AEnertia=-)
13:07:22rasherI noticed someone found specs for the h320 display recently
13:07:36AEnertiayah I saw that...
13:07:41rasherh300, I guess
13:07:42LinusNit's most likely the wrong display
13:07:51AEnertiaI saw that also ;-)

13:08:16rasherHm, lots of lang updates
13:08:22rasherI wonder if dansk is out of sync
13:09:15Bagdertime to run that language stat script of yours! ;-)
13:09:37rasherYes.. I seem to have done something to it though
13:09:44rasherits output has changed somehow
13:11:18rasherwhat's keeping pillo's proportional-font viewer patch out?
13:14:23rasherthis can't be right.. islenska is reported as having 166 untranslated strings
13:17:03LinusNi don't think anything is keeping the prop-font viewer patch out
13:17:16LinusNsomeone has to test it on all platforms and then commit it
13:17:49rasherI can vouch for it on iRiver at least
13:18:37rasherapplied it a good while ago and forgot that it wasn't "official"

13:39:51Lynx_since when is the H3x0 in discussion? :)
13:40:12Bagderit always has been, only a bit in the background
13:40:26Bagderand now Linus has one...
13:41:46Lynx_ah. is it much different? except the obvious colour screen.
13:41:55Bagderdifferent keypad
13:42:37Lynx_and hardware wise?
13:42:39BagderI didn't try it much so I can't tell about other details
13:42:45Bagderhardware wise it is similar
13:42:51Lynx_ok
13:43:13Bagderthe lcd is the biggest thing keeping the first rockbox boot away still
13:43:14Lynx_but it's also out of production i guess from it not being on amazon...
13:43:41rashershops should still have them
13:44:49Lynx_yes, they do...
13:45:25Bagderoh, and it doesn't come with the fancy remote
13:45:59rashersometimes I'd like a simple remote

16:55:07rasherif you can turn that on using a locked remote

16:55:24rasherif not, they know something we don't

16:56:20rasherno?

16:56:34t0masoh wait...
16:56:41t0masthey can't do that for remote separate
16:56:43preglowwaht, the remote SHOULD boot the iriver firmware?

16:56:48preglowwhy?

19:25:26FredHi there !
19:25:31HClhello.
19:26:26FredI have an FM Recorder 20, and I'd like to know if anyone managed to run Rombox with the latest CVS versions
19:26:56FredSome time ago it would have fit into Rombox, but it seems like Rockbox's tree grew in size
19:27:29FredDevs hinted to remove the debug menu, did anyone try this ?
19:28:01 Join |it|ChasKi` [0] (~faggotypa@82-69-23-235.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk)
19:29:17FredAnd another question : would it be possible to software hack an iPod Shuffle ?
19:29:39HClyou should ask that in #ipodlinux, they'd prolly know..
19:29:42FredThe processor is a sigmatel stmp3550b, but there aren't much docs on it publicly
19:29:49FredGood hint lol
19:30:39FredBut as the Rockbox team managed to hack older and newer Archos models, as well as iRiver H series ...
19:30:46FredMaybe you should know better
19:31:28FrediPod Suffle should have a much simplier layout than all these devices
19:32:02amiconnFred: Rombox did never fit for the FM recorder, only if you down-flashed it to become a recorder V2
19:32:34FredThat's what I did some time ago, my FM Recorder has a Recorder v2 rom in it
19:32:44amiconnHowever, now even this option is gone, because a number of features was added
19:33:05FredReally ? Rombox booted really fast ...
19:33:52 Quit |it|ChasKi (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))
19:33:59amiconnThe difference in boot time shouldn't be that big, the advantage of having more free RAM is imho the more important one
19:35:07amiconn[IDC]Dragon is working on bootbox, which is a cut-down rockbox intended to replace the archos firmware in the flash images...
19:35:47amiconn...as a backup firmware. Bootbox will only handle charging, USB, and RoLo
19:36:07amiconnIf this is done, rombox should be possible on all archos models
19:36:58FredSounds great
19:38:03FredAnd Bootbox would have the core libraries Rockbox needs, or will it only be a minimal boot manager ?
19:38:12FredI mean, will it save ram for instance
19:39:10amiconnBootbox itself will not change ram usage at all, because it's intended as a backup firmware only, the same way that the archos firmware is used in the current flash images
19:40:07amiconnThat means, the future flash images won't contain archos firmware for "F1-boot", but bootbox instead
19:40:11Fredok, but will forcomming Rockbox builds have the bootcode stripped off ?
19:40:20Fredok
19:40:46 Join xen` [0] (~xen@pla25-1-82-227-196-9.fbx.proxad.net)
19:41:07amiconnSo a normal boot would work exactly like now, but the smaller size of bootbox compared to the archos firmware will leave more free space in the flash, allowing to put rombox there
19:41:12FredBut that means, we'll have some space left to store Rombox in the rom, as the original firmware will have gone away ?

19:42:30FredI llok forward for this :)
19:43:29amiconnDon't hold your breath though. It may take some time
19:43:40Fredlol ok
19:44:09FredDid you had to reverse-engineer all the chips you ported Rockbox on ?
19:44:26FredOr were these chips well documented ?
19:45:07amiconnThe chips are documented more or less, but of course the hardware design still needed quite some reverse engineering
19:45:09FredSounds like you had hard time wondering how the boot process worked, but the processors were allready documented
19:45:16Fredok
19:45:51amiconnI didn't do all that, I joined the project when rockbox was already running on the jukeboxes
19:46:14amiconn...but I did the Ondio port together with [IDC]Dragon
19:46:22Fredok
19:47:45FredIs the Rockbox base still moving, or do you actually focus on the iRiver port ?
19:47:46amiconnI believe that if the chips weren't documented at all, rockbox wouldn't have been successful
19:48:07FredRight
19:49:55amiconnWe intend to keep supporting all platforms rockbox currently runs on

20:55:26amiconnThen I tried the rockbox simulator through it... only to get a BadAccess error
20:55:56amiconnSome googling told me to enable ForwardX11Trusted in the client's ssh configuration

22:08:43amiconnDoes anyone feel like checking my thoughts?
22:08:51preglowamiconn: didn't you try the proportional viewer plugin and find some gripes with it?
22:09:08amiconnDidn't try it...
22:09:46preglowthen my memory is glitching again
22:14:23preglowany reason why strncmp is not in the plugin api?
22:14:40amiconnNo yet needed in a plugin
22:14:47amiconn*Not
22:15:23preglowthen i assume someone's going to fix it when they need it, and i'll ignore the patch
22:15:45amiconnYes, saw that patch too
22:17:03preglowHCl: any news on markun and the grayscale patch ?V:
22:17:18amiconnMeh.

22:26:45amiconnI wonder what type/ amount of change(s) would justify a major version bump, i.e. rockbox 3.0....
22:28:58austriancoderfully iriver support?
22:29:46Adity1well cygwin is finally working
22:29:48preglowmyes
22:29:55Adity1now to get this simulator thing running
22:30:02preglowfull h1x0 support with a good codec base i think would merit rockbox 3.0
22:30:10preglowthe codecs being what i think merits the bump
22:30:16austriancoderagreed
22:30:48Adity1and by v4.. h320!!! :P
22:31:00preglowhahah
22:31:06preglownothing revolutionizing for that, i'm afraid!

22:33:18amiconnI don't know what justified the bump to 2.0, but then I did not yet participate when that happened
22:33:19HClwe made a nice compiler for this tiny language today

22:43:11amiconnMaybe I found the cause for rld... :)
22:43:12[IDC]Dragonjust a quick one from my webpad
22:43:20[IDC]Dragonsaw that
22:43:24amiconnAh
22:43:35[IDC]Dragonbrought me here...
22:43:48amiconnNow I only need a shaky environment to test with my player...

22:45:35amiconnTake a look at Line 499, then lines 573/ 608/ 620, then line 628. Then take a look at ata_soft_reset()
22:45:57[IDC]Dragonjust wanted to cheer
22:46:15amiconnWhat does that tell you? Eeek! mutex_lock(&ata_mtx) within mutex_lock(&ata_mtx) !
22:46:38[IDC]Dragonno good, indeed
22:47:20amiconnHmm, there's something I wanted to ask you.... but I don't remember atm
22:47:33[IDC]Dragonour mutexes should not lock if already owned by the same thread...
22:47:50amiconnPromoting sloppy coding?
22:47:57[IDC]Dragonin win32, they don't
22:48:28[IDC]Dragonor give a warning for debuging
22:49:20amiconnSame as above goes for ata_write_sectors() of course
22:49:31[IDC]Dragonbtw, rockbox 2.0 was the plugin system
22:49:53[IDC]Dragonmaybe 3.0 is no rld
22:50:02amiconnHmm, maybe I don't remember correctly?
22:50:02HClrld?
22:50:38amiconnAfair, rb 2.0 was the first version I had on my recorder. I'm quite sure this didn't have plugins, but some games in the main menu
22:50:53amiconnHCl: Red Led Death
22:51:09[IDC]Dragonred light death, a loong maintained bug
22:51:13amiconnMeaning a deadlock on harddisk access, with the red led constantly on
22:51:22[IDC]Dragonour classic
22:51:45Bagderplugins came in 2.1
22:51:53[IDC]Dragonoh
22:51:58Bagderhttp://www.rockbox.org/download/old.html
22:52:21[IDC]Dragoni thought flasing came in 2.1
22:52:32amiconnBagder: So my memory wasn't wrong :)
22:52:38[IDC]Dragonmust have been 2.2 then
22:52:59[IDC]Dragonmy first was 1.4
22:53:20[IDC]Dragonthat's how i started
22:54:16amiconnBagder: So was there anything special that justified 2.0?
22:54:25[IDC]Dragoni still keep a 1.4 variant with infrared control capability
22:54:38Bagderamiconn: I don't remember what made us take the jump
22:54:39amiconnInfrared?

22:54:56[IDC]Dragonpatch
22:55:04amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Is there no way to port it to current rockbox?
22:55:35[IDC]Dragonsure there is, nobody demanded
22:55:38amiconnBagder: Should it perhaps become rockbox standard that a <n>.4 version is followed by a <n+1>.0 ?
22:55:49amiconn;)
22:55:54BagderI'm game! ;-)
22:56:03amiconn3.0 would be due then...
22:56:07[IDC]Dragonpental numbering?
22:56:15amiconnrofl
22:56:45amiconn4.4 −−> 10.0
22:56:57*Bagder giggles
22:56:58[IDC]Dragongo fix that rld first...
22:57:34amiconnI'll need a way to reliably reproduce hd retries
22:58:09amiconnBtw, I observed that this hitachi hd wants to retry quite often when running on usb from battery power only
22:58:12[IDC]Dragonor post a test version
22:58:33amiconnWindows always manages to recover after some seconds
22:59:24amiconnPerhaps I should power the unit from my lab supply, with lowest voltage and current limiter lowered too...
22:59:29[IDC]Dragonif you see the lock from the program flow, no fufther experinents required
23:00
23:00:06amiconnI need experiments for seeing/ tuning the behaviour when I resolve the deadlock

23:19:01t0masarchos as a device with infrared?
23:19:17HClsounds like we need to port that feature to the current version
23:19:30HClits pointless to remove features when they're possible and we already have the source to them o.o
23:19:31t0maswith wat infrared port? :P
23:19:41t0mas*what
23:20:01HCli dunno
23:21:48amiconnt0mas: Probably hooked up to the SH1 serial port, dunno
23:22:05amiconnThis was never part of mainline rockbox, but a patch (iiuc)
23:22:41t0mashm..
23:22:46amiconn...needing a hardware mod of course
23:22:51t0masyes
23:22:56 Quit Aison (No route to host)
23:23:05t0masthe iriver had a spare rx and tx pin on the main board right?
23:23:20t0massomeone read some numbers from it when iriver firmware was playing
23:23:21HClyes.
23:23:23amiconnHowever, some features that also need a hardware mod are part of mainline rockbox code, enabled by extra #defines
23:23:41amiconn(8 MB ram, rtc alarm wakeup for the v1 recorder to name some)
23:24:01HClheh, would it be possible to mod an rtc into iriver? :P
23:24:17amiconnI dunno, maybe it's even prepared on the pcb?
23:25:03t0mashm... maybe linus knows
23:25:13amiconnThis is sometimes frustrating; the Ondio pcb has pads & traces for a neat el backlight, but no Ondio was seen with these parts actually mounted
23:25:43t0mascan't you just mount some small type leds in?
23:25:49amiconn...and still, archos re-did the layout for this part when the old el driver chip was no longer available (!!)
23:26:21amiconnt0mas: Not enough space. leds would need a diffusor plate or similar
23:26:49t0masreplace the screen? :)
23:26:56amiconn[IDC]Dragon got hold of that el driver chip and a small el foil and does now have a working el backlight
23:26:57 Quit |it|ChasKi` (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))

23:27:27t0masLOL
23:27:33rasherhaha
23:27:51rashergood stuff
23:28:29HClwell, if it didn't, it would be odd that they redid the layout, wouldn't it :)
23:28:52t0mashmz... checking the pcb scans...
23:29:03t0masI don't see any place for it...
23:29:10amiconnJust found it on [IDC]Dragon's site. The infrared control doesn't even need an internal mod of the archos. Just some circuitry hooked up to the remote control input pin...
23:29:14t0masbut I guess linus whould have noticed it then

23:30:44t0masare we able to read to and write from them in rockbox?
23:30:59HClnot sure
23:31:06amiconnA driver would be needed, but it shouldn't be hard
23:32:06t0masok, and the line out... that's hooked up to the audio chip?
23:32:10t0masor the cpu?
23:32:24amiconndac, I'd guess
23:32:36t0mashm.. only optical is linked to the cpu?
23:34:34t0masgood night
23:36:51XShocKone thing that i think will be good to do is to make some kind of filesystem in 2MB flashin iriver, for example to store some games, or codecs, so that it does not require hard disk startup each time.
23:37:02XShocKex: jffs
23:37:40XShocKi guess it is not very new idea, but i still though it worths saying. :)
23:37:47t0mashm... the most used codecs would be a nice idea
23:38:18amiconnIirc the most used codecs will be builtin anyway
23:38:24t0masok
23:38:30XShocKi think there are maaaany things that can be storred there.. 2MB is not small
23:38:46HClheh..

23:38:57amiconn2 MB minus the iriver firmware, and/or rockbox
23:39:16t0masrockbox flashed? :)
23:39:22t0maslike the archos has now?
23:39:48amiconnOnce it runs stable, that would be a good idea imho
23:40:02t0mashm.. it would speed up the booting even more I guess
23:40:02XShocKamiconn: what rockbox is ready, why would iriver original be needed anyway, actually if someone wants, nobody stops a person from running it from hard disk anyway
23:40:21XShocKi mean original firmware
23:40:28t0masXShocK: when rockbox doesn't boot (devving trouble) then it's nice to have iriver firmware
23:40:31t0masfor usb...
23:40:40amiconnOf course, ockbox would need to offer an option to flash firmware
23:41:04t0masand some low lever recovery mode...
23:41:12t0masfor when rockbox itself can't boot
23:41:18HClloading iriver firmware from disk?
23:41:21HClwould that be possible?
23:41:22amiconnt0mas: YOu don't necessarily need iriver firmware for that.
23:41:50amiconnDid you read the conversation about bootbox for archos earlier this evening?
23:42:02XShocKdo you think that flash can include both rockbox+codecs+ original firmware? i doubt it
23:42:03amiconnI can imagine something similar for iriver
23:42:05t0masno, but I heard something about bootbox
23:42:12t0masthat would be a good idea
23:43:41amiconnXShocK: The 258 KB flash on archos can hold archos firmware + rockbox...

23:45:53amiconnThat's huuuge
23:45:55XShocKmpa2wav
23:46:17XShocKbut you are right, compressed it may be around 100
23:46:18amiconnMy guess is that most of it is just bss space
23:46:24amiconnDo you have a .map file?
23:46:59XShocKno. i just look at mpa2wav.rock file
23:47:14amiconnYes, and the .rock is code+data+bss
23:47:34amiconnThe .bss is most likely some static buffer, which isn't part of the codec
23:48:01amiconnCan someone compile an iriver build, and post mpa2wav.map somewhere?
23:48:31amiconnpreglow?

23:57:57amiconnXShocK: Yes, 40 KB constants (the .rodata section)
23:57:58XShocKamiconn: the same..
