#rockbox log for 2005-05-23

00:00:01Bagderrather naive
00:00:12preglowindeed
00:00:38preglowand stupid, considering how easy it would have been for them to add an usb check before they access the disk
00:00:55preglowthey've got about two seconds worth of splash screen that could be used for checking quite thoroughly, as a matter of fact
00:01:12LinusNthis is interesting btw: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=439118&aid=1206675&group_id=44306
00:02:20preglowi'd say
00:03:38amiconnLinusN: The file size is odd. My viewer.rock is 19060 bytes...
00:03:59LinusNthat depends on the compiler version

00:04:22rashersomeone was saying that the snow.rock wasn't updated in the daily builds either
00:04:32amiconnLinusN: Yeps... but it shouldn't deviate that much within the same line of gcc (3.3.x)
00:04:42preglowrasher: big on log-reading, aren't you ;)
00:05:14rashernah, just read it once in a while
00:05:36LinusNBagder: is the zip creation script updated for the new dir structure?
00:05:47Bagderyes
00:05:55preglowafter you fixed IRiverBoot for me yesterday without even being on the channel, i've started attributing you with paranormal powers
00:05:57Bagderat least it is supposed to
00:06:32preglowworks here
00:06:37preglowi've got working snow and all
00:06:41preglowand i did 'make zip'
00:06:50amiconnThe filke dates in the dailies match the day they're supposed to be built
00:08:05*rasher tries using a daily build
00:09:00Bagdercheck the daily source package
00:09:00rasherold-snow
00:09:44Bagderwierd
00:10:08LinusNBagder: the daily build zips contain the wrong .rock's
00:10:28BagderI think I know why!
00:10:38Bagdermake clean doesn't remove the old ones!
00:10:44LinusNthey are taken from build-recorder8m/*.rock instead of build-recorder8m/apps/plugins
00:10:45Bagderhehe
00:11:04LinusNthat shouldn't matter
00:11:08Bagderyes it does
00:11:13Bagderit finds the old ones too
00:11:19LinusNoh
00:11:35LinusNand copies the over the correct ones
00:11:39LinusNthem
00:11:43Bagderbut make clean is lame
00:11:47Bagder'rm -rf *' is better
00:11:56LinusNmuch better :-)

00:13:05LinusNBagder: can you remove the old files?
00:13:06preglowdamn, what's up with this premature entering habit of mine

00:17:03LinusNno, the old rocks
00:17:18Bagderthe script will actually do rm -rf * first now
00:17:21Bagderinstead of make clean
00:17:34Bagderthen run configure
00:17:36Bagderthen make

00:20:38Bagderlame parser? ;-)
00:20:54rasherFair enough
00:22:55Bagderand I'm too tired atm to do anything about it ;-)
00:24:08rasherI can understand this
00:25:53rasherI found a thread on MisticRiver mentioning someone who had his h320 display replaced by a repair shop (not iRiver related)
00:27:21preglowand i thought the iriverlinux thread was all that was of value on misticriver :P
00:28:30Bagderthat is interesting
00:29:29rasherHe wasn't mentioned by name though, so I fired of a private-message to him

01:27:56preglowonly opt i can find quickly is windowing

01:52:02preglowsomeone put fat32 to sleep already

02:02:52preglowamiconn: like what?
02:03:07LinusNamiconn: i'm betting on #2
02:03:09amiconnI'm trying to get rockbox to work (on archos) with -O2 / -Os
02:03:11]RowaN[textchimp: same set of tools that opens my t68 mobile fone =]
02:03:30amiconnIt always crashes with IllInstr at 0x000000F0
02:03:36amiconnThat's the internal rom
02:03:42preglowi really don't think that's gcc's error, it happens with both sh and 68k
02:03:48amiconnI checked the disassembly
02:03:50preglowi've never known gcc to generate wrong code with Os
02:04:16amiconnThe code it produces for the IRQ3 interrupt handler is looking completely wrong
02:05:14amiconnNo 'rte' at the end, but instead a 'jmp'
02:05:27LinusNouch
02:06:03amiconnadditionally, it seems the if/else processing therein is missing as well
02:06:19preglow]RowaN[: at least the drive they use in h1x0 is supposed to be able to take a bit of a bang before it's damaged
02:08:18preglowLinusN: should i commit the imdct opt i've got going even though it's still a wee bit slower than the old one, btw? i won't be able to look at it again for quite some time
02:08:44]RowaN[when i dropped it, i "lost" about 100 mp3s.. they just became unreadable from the hd
02:08:56preglow]RowaN[: bad news...
02:09:27]RowaN[if it wasnt for rockbox i woudlnt have even been able to turn my iriver back on
02:09:37]RowaN[coz original firmware hangs on boot when files r fucked
02:09:39preglowoh well, assuming the hd is broken, they're easily replacable

10:28:12RickI mean, for doing custo stuff
10:28:15Rick*custom
10:28:22Rickwould be nifty
10:28:26LinusNindeed
10:28:51Rickalthough when I talked about it myself here ages ago I didn't get a very positive response
10:28:51Rickhehe
10:36:42amiconnLinusN: I got rockbox to work when compiled with -O2 or -Os. However, gcc clearly generates wrong code for IRQ3(), and it needs a special workaround to get this fixed
10:36:54LinusNhow nice
10:37:14amiconnCompiling with -O3 doesn't work; it fails to assemble the compiled system.c
10:39:02amiconnI tested with recorder v1. -Os decreases size ~6 KB, -O2 increases size ~9 KB (gcc 3.3.5, size with -O ~184 KB)
10:42:22amiconnThe workaround is adding an empty asm block at the end of the function: asm volatile ("");
10:43:10preglowehh
10:45:27amiconnThere's another change I did, but don't know if it strictly necessary. The bit setting macros (and_b / or_b / xor_b) aren't defined volatile. Iiuc they should be; so I added that
10:45:53amiconnLinusN: What do you think?

10:51:48B4gdergood day
10:52:32amiconnpreglow: I found this trick from googling; obviously this is an architecture independent gcc bug. The article I found was for netbsd on ppc (!)
10:53:28LinusNamiconn: well, if it works i'm all for it, then the rombox builds could be -Os
10:54:04LinusNbut then we *might* encounter some problems, since some bugs might be related to the optimizing
10:54:16LinusNand we'll have an even harder time reproducing them
10:55:05amiconnThis would require compiling everything twice. Currently the rombox builds are only linked differently
10:55:14LinusNof course
10:55:34amiconnThe only target where it would actually allow to make rombox fit (again) is the recorder v2
10:55:55 Join [IDC]Dragon [0] (~d90a3255@labb.contactor.se)
10:56:09amiconnFor the others (fmrecorder and ondiofm) even -Os isn't sufficient
10:56:10LinusNif you ask me, rombox isn't worth the effort, but that's me
10:56:40[IDC]Dragonhi there
10:56:41amiconnRombox is really nice to have, but I'd rather go for [IDC]Dragon's solution
10:56:45B4gderI still for making rombox a special build option
10:56:50B4gderI am

10:57:53amiconnhi [IDC]Dragon
10:57:59[IDC]Dragonhi Jens
10:58:12amiconnI finally solved the 0308 mystery...
10:58:23[IDC]Dragonyes, saw that
10:58:30[IDC]Dragoncongratulations!
10:58:50amiconn...and found a mistake in your logic table. I also added the pinout & table for 0308
10:58:53[IDC]Dragon(I had a hard time to blame the rebuild for it)
10:59:16[IDC]Dragonsorry for the logic error
10:59:59amiconnThe circuit is indeed very similar, only it uses an AC32 instead of AC08 and 2 gate inputs are swapped (pin 12 & 13)
11:00
11:00:01[IDC]Dragondoes Trevor know already?
11:00:38amiconnI mailed him, but he didn't respond yet. Maybe he's away, mentioned some conference...
11:01:01[IDC]Dragonseems to be his facourite waste of time ;-)
11:01:11[IDC]Dragon*favourite
11:01:13amiconnI also experimented with the mas pll
11:01:30[IDC]Dragonblowing up poor 3507 chips...
11:01:47amiconnNope; the fm interference thing you mentioned
11:01:53[IDC]Dragonah
11:02:01amiconnThere s indeed some interference
11:03:01amiconnIt seems I understand the mas pll now. It is indeed running at 24.576 MHz (for48/32/24/16) and 22.5792 MHz (for 44.1/22.05)
11:03:23amiconn...the 4th harmonics being ~98.3 MHz and 90.3 MHz
11:03:48amiconn..and the interference is audible with the samsung tuner (!)
11:05:06amiconnI implemented a hack to avoid the interference, which works
11:05:16[IDC]Dragonsamsung doesn't surprise me
11:05:38amiconnThe philips seems to be immune agains this, so no special handling necessary
11:06:17[IDC]Dragona slight "detune" of the MAS should be sufficient
11:06:25[IDC]Dragonwhat did you do?
11:07:17amiconnYes. I use the pitch function to 'pitch away' the mas by a maximum of 0.3 %
11:07:55amiconnAs is the solution is hacky because it accesses app data (global_settings) from firmware code
11:09:01[IDC]Dragonwhy global_settings?
11:09:15amiconnTo find the current rec_frequency setting
11:09:43[IDC]Dragonthe FM screen could inform the mpeg code
11:09:56amiconnI have another idea
11:10:06[IDC]Dragonleaving it up to there to do countermeasures
11:10:23RickLinusN: How would you "probe" to see if the remote is plugged in? (iriver)
11:10:32amiconnmpeg_set_recording_options contains a variable which could be made static, and an access function added
11:10:35preglowyou got fm interference from the mas clock?
11:10:58amiconn[IDC]Dragon: I added the countermeasure to tuner_samsung.c

11:17:06amiconn...like the detection for ide power controllability in the player
11:23:00amiconn[IDC]Dragon: I also tried to exceed the pll offset range for 3507. That doesn't work; it seems the pll snaps back to the default
11:29:10[IDC]Dragonbah
11:29:54[IDC]DragonLinusN: did you ever try/consider pitching the 3507?
11:42:03amiconnIt is possible to pitch, but only in the small range I mentioned saturday

12:04:15preglowgood day
12:05:45preglowdamn, my battery was _completely_ discharged, the player didn't even respond when i pressed play
12:05:51preglowwas a bit nervous for a second there
12:09:47preglowold imdct_l is 300% at 112kbps, new is 290% :/
12:10:42MoosCamaro:(
12:14:06preglowLinusN: we probably should use something like the .cachetest section scheme we do now
12:14:26preglowi do now, at least, i'll strip it before commiting
12:35:46LinusNoki
12:45:13preglowwhy doesn't my player ever turn itself off?
12:46:06preglowidle poweroff is set to 10 minutes, but it never turns off
12:46:59LinusNis the charger connected?
12:47:26preglowyes, but it behaves the same without the charger connected
12:47:32LinusNoh
12:47:33preglowthat's why i have to charge now, ehh
12:47:47LinusNmaybe the charger detection fails

12:48:14*LinusN checks the code
12:52:52HClmm
12:52:56HClit actually did crash for me
12:52:58HClwhen it ran out of battery
12:53:01HClthe other day
12:53:03HCland it hadn't shut down
12:53:18ashridahLinusN: hrm. i just set it down to 1m and it shutoff.
12:53:25LinusNoh
12:53:47preglowyeah, i think rasher mentioned it only happens sometimes
12:54:01preglowis it conditional in any way? the last thing i usually do before i don't touch it anymore, is run a plugin
12:54:02ashridahi think i've seen it happen if i've just used usb-connect mode
12:54:09preglowperheps something doesn't get reset
12:54:19preglowthat can also be it
12:55:51ashridahokay, just turned it back on, had it set to 1m, and it didn't shut off after 1m this time around
12:56:00LinusNthere are lots of conditions for the poweroff
12:56:11ashridahactually, it seems to have taken longer than a minute, since it just shut off
12:56:22ashridahat at least over 2 minutes
12:56:28LinusNdisk activity, user interaction, music playback
12:57:06LinusNthe 1m timeout starts counting after the disk has spun down
12:57:28ashridahwhich is set to 5s here

13:00:04ashridaha 1m shut down took almost 2 minutes from hard drive spindown to shutdown.
13:00:29ashridah(on a fresh powerup)
13:00:35LinusNoh, there's another thing
13:01:49LinusNthe thread that performs the auto poweroff runs only once a minute
13:02:03ashridahah.
13:02:15ashridahso it can be anywhere from 1m to 1m59s or so?
13:02:16LinusNso it can be one minute off
13:05:11LinusNthe logic is in firmware/powermgmt.c - handle_auto_poweroff()

15:28:04B4gderdo we really need a lcd_remote_getstringsize ?
15:28:12B4gderto me that is just odd
15:28:44Rick?
15:28:44Rickwhy?
15:28:50amiconnB4gder: It's not odd.
15:28:51B4gderwhat does it do?
15:29:07amiconnMain & remote lcd may have different fonts in effect
15:29:09Rickit gets the width/height of a string in the current font on the remote?

15:29:26amiconnThe actual code is shared
15:29:27B4gderatm?
15:29:36amiconnyup
15:29:58B4gderthat is odd to me too ;-)
15:30:08B4gderI thought we were going for "true" multifont support
15:30:15amiconn??
15:30:22B4gderand then you'd use stringsize for a given font
15:30:36B4gdernot assuming a particular one for a particular lcd
15:31:19amiconnNot *assuming* but using the currently selected one
15:31:35B4gderso we can select one for the remote ?
15:31:52amiconnWe have two fonts, FONT_SYSFIXED and FONT_UI
15:31:53B4gderand
15:32:07amiconnYou can set both main and remote lcd to use either one
15:32:07B4gder"setting" a font is weird if a screen uses multiple ones
15:32:22amiconnIt isn't weird
15:32:31B4gderno, possibly not
15:32:59amiconn...much like it makes sense to set draw modes and colours, draw some objects, set other parameters etc
15:33:31amiconn...instead of giving all these parameters with each and every call
15:34:03B4gderI'm not talking about every call here
15:34:21B4gderbut I see your point
15:35:16B4gderrick: you tried the new remote lcd size in the code?
15:36:33preglowbah, to hell with this
15:39:06RickB4gder: nope
15:39:14RickB4gder: it was fixed?
15:39:29B4gderthe size might be 128x64
15:39:36B4gderwhich explains some oddities ;-)
15:40:02Rickthe size is 65x132
15:40:08Rickor something like that
15:40:13*Rick can't remember the height
15:40:22B4gderthe iriver product site says 128x64
15:40:32Rickreally?
15:40:34Rickhow odd
15:41:05RickI wonder why the lcd specs say 65x132 (again, whatever the height is ;P)
15:41:20B4gderwhat lcd specs is that?
15:41:27Rick...
15:41:29Ricksec
15:41:30Ricklemme find it
15:41:51Rickhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/pub/Main/DataSheets/TL0324S_V02.pdf
15:42:18Rickyeah, 65x132
15:42:38Rick(the iriver remote has the lcd on its side and upsidedown)
15:42:46amiconnThe lcd itself is 64x128, 99% sure
15:42:56Rickthat's odd
15:42:58amiconnThe controller can handle max. 65x132
15:43:04Rickah
15:43:13amiconnIt's the same as with the archos recorders and Ondios
15:43:24Rickit doesn't mention anything about the 64x128
15:43:36amiconnThe lcd itself is 112x64 there, the controller can handle a maximum of 65x132
15:43:44amiconnSeems to be a common size...
15:43:46Rickah
15:43:51Rickodd
15:44:08amiconnThe iriver homepage says 64x128
15:44:28*Rick shrugs

15:54:12B4gderI think I've fixed the dreaded sim dep problems too
15:54:17amiconnWin32 will need a modified background image as well
15:54:32amiconnDoes the x11 sim employ a second window?
15:54:52B4gderno the remote LCD simply appears below the regular one in the same window
15:55:14amiconnHmm. That'll look a bit odd, imho
15:55:28B4gderI'd find it annoying to have two windows popping up

18:27:37HClas long as the screens are properly seperated, there shouldn't be a problem.
18:28:05rasherbut for the windows sims, which use images of the device, I think it'd look corny to have the remote tacked on

18:52:04Bluechiphi, i have a quick question ...does "time split recording" miss anything or not? That is, will there be three seconds of music missing as it stops and restarts? The manual contradicts itself on this point :(
18:54:20Bluechip"">no audio is lost at the split point. The
18:54:21Bluechipbreak between recordings is only the time required to stop and restart the
18:54:21Bluechiprecording, on the order of 2-4 seconds."
18:54:46rasherseems clear enough to me
18:54:55rasherI think
18:55:01Bluechipso no time is lost, or 2-4 seconds is lost?
18:55:14rasherNo time lost, but restarting takes 2-4 seconds
18:55:40rasherBut then, I've never used it

20:57:14amiconnLinusN: I have a design question / suggestion.
20:57:29LinusNamiconn: shoot
20:57:50amiconnCurrently the menu functions (and some others) have a return value that indicates whether they return from usb mode or not
20:58:17LinusNi'd like an enum or bitmask for that
20:58:24amiconnIf they return true, the whole menu 'pile' returns, and the dir is reloaded
20:58:44amiconn(used to jump back to the root, but now a reload of the current dir is tried first)
20:59:22amiconnThis mechanism is 'misused' by the bookmark menu to leave the menu after successfully selecting a bookmark
20:59:49Bagderit was an enum... once upon the time
20:59:55Bagder:-)
21:00
21:00:00amiconnHowever, since this return value was originally meant to indicate usb connection, it has an unwanted side effect
21:00:34amiconnWhen calling the bookmark menu while in the browser, all is fine. Bookmark is started and wps displayed
21:01:37amiconnHowever, if you call the bookmark menu from wps and select a bookmark, the playback is still started properly and the menu is left, but the wps is left too (!)
21:01:51amiconn...because it 'thinks' there was an usb connection
21:02:36amiconnYou can still re-enter the wps by pressing On (or Mode on ondio), but this is rather irritating
21:03:15LinusNhow is it done in the fm preset menu?
21:03:18amiconnImho the return value should indeed be an enum of some kind, indicating the reason to leave
21:03:31LinusNi agree 100%
21:03:35Bagderme too
21:03:47LinusNi have wanted to do that for a long time
21:03:56LinusNi actually did once, but i never committed it
21:04:04Bagderthat's the reason I made it so initially, but Zagor didn't agree back then

21:16:52amiconnLinusN: Different thing. The context save/restore functions in thread.c rely on inlining. Is there a reason why they are functions in the first place?
21:17:04amiconnMacros would guarantee inlining, and TCC730 actually uses macros.
21:17:05LinusNif you have an "extern" declaration in a header file, it must be IDATA_ATTR as well
21:17:33amiconnIf there is a reason for these to be actual functions, we could use __attribute__ ((always_inline))
21:18:24LinusNamiconn: i don't think they need to be functions, but always_inline sounds nice to me
21:18:35preglowLinusN: the array in question is static
21:18:50LinusNoh
21:22:16amiconnLinusN: The always_inline was added in gcc 3.1, so it should be okay. Should I add it for iriver as well?
21:26:22CoCoLUSgeneral question
21:26:57CoCoLUSwhat happens when you call an inline function recursively?
21:27:27preglowit doesn't get inlined
21:27:42CoCoLUSthat easy?
21:27:58preglowLinusN: this is weird, the line that gets a section type conflict is a variable declaration, and it's static...
21:28:27amiconnpreglow: is it initialised or bss?
21:28:34preglowamiconn: initialised
21:28:41amiconnHmm.
21:29:41amiconnCoCoLUS: Yes, that easy. The top level might be an inlined instance, but all recursive calls are made to the non-inlined version
21:29:42preglowi do this all the time in libmad
21:29:47preglowand it works just fine

21:32:47CoCoLUSdoes rockbox have a "max size" restrictions of some kind? some space in which the image must fit?
21:32:56LinusNi can put bitrev in idata without problems
21:33:11LinusNCoCoLUS: which platform?
21:33:36preglowwe'll see about bitrev when pbvas changes are put in cvs some day
21:33:39preglowunless he fixed it
21:33:41preglowfixes <-
21:33:57CoCoLUSnothing specifiy... i just wondered why inline functions aren't used more often, i thought they only increased the final filesize...
21:34:20pbvasLinusN, i'll have to get it more optimized before i commit anything ...
21:34:20amiconnLinusN: Got my q?
21:34:42LinusNamiconn: i think we can do it for all targets
21:35:31amiconnHmm. One small issue. I would declare the functions always_inline for all targets, but then the build process might produce warning(s) for gmini
21:35:32preglowCoCoLUS: i don't think inlining helps much for the rockbox platform
21:35:37preglowplatforms
21:35:47amiconn...because the functions are declared static, but not defined
21:36:24amiconn...unless I convert the macros blindly
21:43:09preglowit still bloody hangs

21:48:13preglowno, didn't do that
21:48:49preglowstill can't see why i'd need to do that, wouldn't that eat into the stack?
21:49:28LinusNhow else are you going to give more space to the plugins?
21:49:56LinusNyou take from the app and give to the plugins
21:49:59preglowwell, stack seems to be 32kb of iram, plus 32kb of iram used for plugins thus far, which makes 65kb out of 96
21:50:28CoCoLUSlinus, it's likely your least favourite question right now, but any progress on mp3 playback / sound arch?
21:50:48 Quit pbvas ("Leaving")
21:51:07preglowit's much more fun when it's a surprise, you're spoiling it for yourself!
21:51:58LinusNapp.lds allocates 0x10000000-0x1000ffff and the plugins 0x10010000-0x10017fff
21:52:29LinusNso to give more iram to the plugins, you need to lower IRAMSIZE in app.lds
21:53:09LinusNand then lower IRAMORIG and increase IRAMSIZE accordingly in plugin.lds
21:53:54preglowyep, got it

21:55:13preglowbut i'm very sceptical as to the wisdom in commiting something that's both slower and requires more iram
21:55:27preglowit's more elegant, at least ;)
21:55:31LinusNpreglow: i kind of agree

21:56:10preglowso might as well keep it private until then

22:24:51amiconnBagder: The build system does something I didn't expect
22:25:05amiconnIt uses the source dir(s) as working dir for gcc
22:25:43amiconn...so when you're compiling with -save-temps for analysing a problem, it clutters the source tree
22:27:11MusicmadI'm trying to get the # Devel - m68k-elf-binutils (latest version is 2.15)
22:27:11Musicmad# Devel - m68k-elf-gcc (latest version is 3.3.5) stuff from the mirror but it says "incomplete download" any ideas?
22:27:41amiconn2.15 is too old anyways
22:27:58amiconnYou'll need 2.16 (or a not too old cvs checkout)
22:28:16Musicmadhm ok - where do I get that?
22:28:58amiconnhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CrossCompiler lists all you need
22:30:04amiconnUh oh! I tried building rockbox for recorder v1 with -O3 (I found the problem why it didn't work yesterday)
22:30:21amiconnThe binary actually becomes too large!
22:30:47Musicmadthanks - amiconn, I just wanted to change 2 characters in the source :)
22:31:33amiconnWhat do you want to do? I thought you want to install the dev environment?
22:32:38Musicmadyes that's what I wanted to do. Seems a bit difficult though, so it might not be worth it tonight.
22:32:54Musicmadbut thanks anyway
22:35:45preglowamiconn: i don't think O3 opts will help rockbox much
22:38:42amiconnYes, I think you're right. It's an experiment, and it just 'feels good' if rockbox compiled with various -O is working correctly
22:40:23amiconn-O, -Os and -O2 are working now. Can't test -O3 on recorder v1
22:40:38amiconn(working on archos, that is)
22:41:23preglowO3 is O2 plus all opts that increase code size, i think
22:41:30preglowmore inlining
22:50:15amiconnThe -O3 build crashes.... after some stuttering playback
22:51:21preglowwell, while you're on the mission to make rockbox work with all gcc options, make it work with gcc4 :>
22:52:05amiconnIt's impossible on archos... due to that silly decision of the gcc team
22:52:29preglowwhich is?
22:52:45amiconn...not to allow (weak) aliases to functions not defined in the same .c
22:53:12amiconn...which also doesn't allow aliases to functions defined in an asm block within the same .c
22:53:36preglowis there no way to write around that? i think i remember you saying the coldfire port did it in a better way once
22:54:16amiconnIt's an architecture problem
22:54:48amiconnIiuc coldfire saves both exception type and return address on the stack, so they're easily accessible
22:55:10amiconnSH1 only saves the return address, so we need a way to get the exception type
22:55:43amiconnThis is done by having a number of tiny functions, one per exception, which all call the same main function
22:56:13amiconnThese functions are defined within an asm block, and then aliased
