#rockbox log for 2005-08-12

00:00:10Craig__no, the accident is the short push...not the long push
00:01:06amiconnHmm, it seems to me that an accidental long push is much more likely than an accidental short push if I tell someone (or know myself) that both have different meanings
00:01:22 Quit stripwax_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:02:44Craig__my proposal is: if the current playlist is modified (ie. by the user, not by auto create of some sort), prompt before auto creating a new one. user can choose to save, ignore, or cancel action.
00:03:07BagderI think that is a good idea
00:03:10Moosgood idea
00:03:17Moosyeah really
00:03:23Craig__amiconn: it's simple :) you held it for 1.2 seconds instead of 1.3 or whatever it is.
00:03:24LinusNfair enough
00:03:36Bagderalthough I never made a playlist with rockbox :-)
00:03:37amiconnIt's less than a second
00:03:45Craig__whatever : )
00:03:47LinusNdon't release it until you see the menu
00:04:23Craig__fari enough Linus, when you know. when you don't (ie the friends), well...
00:05:02Craig__actually, i'm talking about my girlfriend here. i'm trying to save my own arse from her wrath when she loses her hard work.
00:05:20crwli can imagine that's a problem
00:05:26LinusNher wrath?
00:05:31crwlnow undo/redo function for playlist would be something (like in amaroK) ;)
00:05:37LinusNyou know her? :-)
00:05:58amiconnCraig__: To me, all these "Are you sure?" "Do you really want this?" dialogs in some programs are really annoying
00:06:14Moosprevention :)
00:06:43Craig__i understand amiconn. but this dialog would appear quite rarely i think. and it's only one press to get rid of it.
00:07:46Craig__it would be like one of those dialogs you don't even read once you're used to the program. you just hit the right key sequence.
00:07:58amiconnOne key too much
00:08:47LinusNamiconn: the other alternative is to try to prevent the mistake
00:09:04LinusNlike using another key for the context menu
00:09:32Craig__possible, but still doesn't completely eradicate the chance of a mistake.
00:09:37LinusNnope
00:09:59LinusNi have done the same mistake, in a slightly different way
00:10:09Craig__what about the standard "keep everybody happy" patch...make it an option: "warn before erase current playlist?"
00:10:14LinusNmistook a file for a directory
00:10:29amiconnLinusN: We could do this on the recorder, but the iriver doesn't have that many buttons
00:10:29LinusNand played the file when i thought i entered a dir
00:10:46amiconn...plus the side buttons aren't really suited for one-hand operation
00:11:50amiconnThere is the long-standfing idea to get rid of the F2 and F3 quick menus. F3 would be good for a nice context menu button...
00:15:58Craig__i'm still new to all this. what exactly is the F2, F3 business about?
00:16:14Craig__were they buttons on the archos or something?
00:16:19amiconnYes
00:16:32Bagderthey are, not were ;-)
00:16:41amiconnF1..F3 are the 'soft' buttons below the archos recorder lcd
00:17:19 Quit MO-Pantsu ()
00:17:41amiconnF1 is used for the main menu, F2 and F3 are used for quick menus (one such menu also exists on iriver, reachable by a long press of A-B)
00:18:19Craig__which is F what?
00:18:27Craig__F1
00:19:59amiconnhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/pub/Main/DeviceChart/recorder.jpg The 3 buttons below the LCD, left to right
00:20:45Craig__yep, and they are which buttons on the iRiver? F1 - short AB, F2 - long AB, F3?
00:21:04amiconnF3 has no equivalent on iriver
00:21:16amiconnThe mappings aren't 1:1 anyway
00:21:46Craig__i think i need to do some more code browsing :)

00:43:07Toni1works fine, exept ack comes late
00:43:09LinusNbitbanging?
00:43:18Toni1yes
00:43:26LinusNchicken! :-)
00:44:06Toni1any idea, why the response is so slow?
00:44:22LinusNi guess the device is slow
00:44:55Toni1hmmm, it takes ~3s to send a 5Byte command
00:45:55Toni1How is your progress?
00:46:31LinusNcan't get the i2c controller to run
00:47:06LinusNannoys me to death
00:47:45Toni1is it possible, that the tuner stays in standby and responses very slowly?
00:48:16LinusN3s sounds awfully slow
00:49:01Toni1yes, but I can write frequency and get this frequency back with "tuned" bit set
00:49:18LinusNi traced the i2c bus running the original firmware and it seemed pretty fast
00:49:18Toni1no "stereo"
00:50:57***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:51:56Toni1I tried write without acknowledge, works fine, but no "stereo" and "tuned" at all frequencies (control read whows, that the frequency has been stored)

00:58:52XavierGrLinusN: If the memory for a plug-in is low how can I make it larger. Currently when I add some char arrays into the jpeg viewer the rendering of the images is ruined. (This is solved when I remove the char arrays)
00:58:59 Join block44 [0] (i=l0ck@CPE000c6e94cf09-CM001225d870de.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com)
00:59:19LinusNyou can't make it larger
01:00
01:00:33XavierGrouch!
01:00:48XavierGrso I am stuck in this?
01:01:13XavierGrAnd to think that I haven't put so big arrays...
01:01:16LinusNhow big are the arrays?
01:01:18amiconnPlugin RAM is quite large on iriver - 768 KB
01:01:29Bagder768 KB should be enough for everyone
01:01:33Bagderreally ;-)
01:01:51XavierGrwell I cant see how a 2 dimension array can eat it up
01:02:16LinusNwell, that depends on how large it is :-)
01:02:19XavierGrThe biggest array for my tests is [8][50]
01:02:25XavierGrchar array
01:02:42LinusNthen i'm sure it isn't the array size
01:02:56XavierGrI can drop it out to [2][50] but the 50 probably has to be equal to MAX_PATH
01:03:15LinusNit's the file name?
01:03:22XavierGrYes
01:03:25ExoticMandiblesMay I ask a tiresome tech support question for my Archos, which is almost certainly not Rockbox-related?
01:03:49LinusNXavierGr: and you are sure you don't overwrite something when you fill the array?
01:03:51ExoticMandiblesI'm trying to get it to run Rockbox, but it seems to have an *issue*.
01:04:08LinusNExoticMandibles: shoot
01:04:25XavierGrwell I don't use pointer arrays. I use fixed ones.
01:04:37LinusNso?
01:04:44ExoticMandiblesI bought an Archos FM Recorder 20 from eBay. When it arrived, its battery was very nearly dead.
01:05:16ExoticMandiblesAs it twitched and clung to its last moments of life, I plugged it in to the USB port to recharge it. (The other problem: the recharger that they shipped me was dead, too.)
01:05:31ExoticMandiblesI now have a brand-new battery, and a brand-new charger. I figured everything would be fine.
01:05:49XavierGrHow can I ovewright something when I use a char array? (Truth is that I am very confused with char, strings and alphanumerics in C)
01:05:54ExoticMandiblesBut now when I turn it on it goes into the Archos USB screen whether or not it's plugged in to the USB port.
01:06:25LinusNXavierGr: example: try to write at position [2][51]
01:07:12LinusNExoticMandibles: try the usual cure: open it up and resolder suspicious solder joints
01:07:19ExoticMandiblesIf I actually plug it in to a computer, it works like a proper USB drive. If I unplug it, it reboots, and goes back to the Archos USB screen.
01:07:27ExoticMandiblesDang.
01:07:48ExoticMandiblesSpecifically, ones around the USB port?
01:07:55ExoticMandiblesOr could it be pretty much anywhere?
01:08:08LinusNspecifically the ones that ground the pcb
01:09:19ExoticMandiblesThanks. I'll either do that or see if the seller will take it back.
01:09:27ExoticMandiblesI did just get it, and it has yet to really work right.
01:09:32ExoticMandiblesThanks for the suggestion.
01:09:34LinusNgood luck
01:10:01XavierGrWhy some use pointer chars instead of fixed arrays? Does rockbox supports dynamic arrays?
01:10:15LinusNXavierGr: you mean c?
01:10:19XavierGryeah
01:10:42LinusNan array is just some bytes in memory
01:11:14 Quit ExoticMandibles ("Leaving")
01:11:14LinusNuse a pointer to point to it and voila! you have an array
01:11:24 Quit ender` (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
01:11:39XavierGrIs it best to store strings in fixed arrays or pointers?
01:11:42LinusNmy next question to you is: what makes you think that the array size is the problem?
01:12:40XavierGrBecause when I use a medium size array the rendering of the image gets distorted, when I use large arrays the rendering is black, and when I use small arrays the image renders fine
01:12:51XavierGrand that by only changing the array size.
01:13:09LinusNand none of your code is running?
01:13:50XavierGrWhat do you mean? My code runs but changing the array size changes the rendering too (which I haven't touched)
01:14:31LinusNi mean, let the jpeg viewer render a picture, without your code loading a directory
01:15:02XavierGrthen it will run fine as usual, or do you mean to include the arrays without the code to test?
01:15:18LinusNsomething like that
01:15:32LinusNcare to show me your code?
01:16:32XavierGrhmmm I will see that. No I don't care I will be more than happy to show you. Though it is not finished and some variables are not needed.
01:17:05XavierGrAlso you could tell me some points about it.
01:17:18XavierGrDo you want to e-mail it to you?
01:17:35LinusNdo that: linus at haxx.se
01:18:59XavierGrokay.
01:19:17XavierGrthanks! :)

09:31:02austriancodermorning
09:31:12LinusNi have a question for you
09:31:38austriancoderok
09:31:40LinusNdo you remember having to do anything special to get the i2c controller to talk to the fm chip?
09:31:47LinusNi can't get it to work
09:32:03LinusNscratched my head all night
09:33:07LinusNthe i2c controller doesn't even try to talk
09:33:16austriancoderhmm... nothing spezial...
09:33:21LinusNnothing on the scl/sda pins
09:34:08*austriancoder looks for his iriver and looks if he get it running once more for a very short time
09:34:51LinusNyour iriver has your working radio code running on it?
09:36:51austriancoderi am not sure.. could be
09:37:27LinusNif so, i'd like to have the rockbox.iriver from it
09:37:35austriancoderi know ;)
09:38:00austriancoderhehe.. irver is charging normal.. very suprising
09:38:53austriancoderLinusN: have you done any changes to i2c code?
09:39:10LinusNonly added support for the second i2c channel
09:39:48LinusNvery minor
09:42:54austriancoderin about 30 minutes i can tell you more.. then the batteries should let me start the player
09:43:02LinusNallright
09:43:20austriancoderi have now an question to you ;)
09:43:33LinusNso as far as you can remember, all you did was to init the second channel and add i2c_read()?
09:43:45austriancoderwhere can i find the exception handling code of the coldfire?
09:43:57LinusNsystem.c
09:44:08LinusNfor unhandled exceptions
09:44:36LinusNyou want to add an isr?
09:44:43austriancoderthink so.. did also some changes in ... i2c_radio.c or something like that
09:44:54austriancoderisr?
09:45:05LinusNinterrupt service routine
09:45:10austriancoderah ;)
09:45:12LinusNeception handler
09:45:42LinusN x\
09:46:18austriancoderyep.. for the iaudio.. the pcf50606 is interrupt baesd.. and as i dont want to poll the pcf i wait until the pcf sets an interrupt in coldfire. Then i want to start an exception handler for this
09:47:07LinusNto add an exception handler, all you need to do is declare a function with the correct name and the "interrupt" attribute
09:47:39LinusNlook in firmware/timer.c for an example
09:47:48austriancoderah cool
09:48:07LinusNthe IMIA4 name is predeclared in system.c in the vector table
09:48:28austriancoderthanks very much
09:48:29LinusNand uses a weak symbol alias to the default exception handler
09:48:49LinusNand is overridden when you declare a real function with the same name
09:49:10LinusNi have added all the 5249 vectors in system.c
09:49:32LinusNhow is the interrupt signal connected?
09:53:00austriancoderi dont know this at the moment.. will do later some traces

10:59:28amiconnCassandra: (1) Implement timer adaption to CPU frequency changes on iriver. Should remove the need to boost in the grayscale lib just to avoid timer changes. (2) Implement memguard for iriver. (3) Implement solid grayscale cube for archos using the grayscale lib. (4) Try to hook up the runtime database on archos (5) Try hacking the MAS pcm driver
11:00
11:02:12amiconn(6) Improve convbdf to work properly for >= 16 pixel wide fonts
11:17:45CassandraI'd suggest (4) except that I still don't think the rundb is mature enough to go in an actual release.
11:17:52CassandraWhat's (5) about?
11:18:10amiconnWAV playback and recording on archos
11:19:38CassandraThat'd be kind of cool to have in 2.5.
11:19:49CassandraThe rest don't seem all that time critical, really.
11:20:04amiconnI don't think we can include wav for archos in 2.5
11:20:17Cassandra(Although the new cube on Archos'd be kind of cool.)
11:20:57amiconn(a) because it is a lot of work and (b) because we do not have the final "ok" yet to include the driver in rockbox and publish the documentation
11:21:23Cassandraami: Fair enough. In that case, I'd say go for (3). (Assuming you're wanting my opinion. :) )
11:21:43CassandraWe actually have the docs? That's a whole leap forward.
11:21:51amiconnI did officially receive the driver accompanied by the documentation from Jörg, authorised by Micronas
11:22:21amiconnI'm not yet allowed to publish it, but that shouldn't stop me hacking it...
11:22:22CassandraReckon we'll be able to do other ogg later, or is that impossible with the MAS?
11:22:31amiconnIt's impossible
11:22:43CassandraThought it might be. Shame.
11:22:51amiconnThe MAS doesn't have enough RAM to fit the large tables necessary for ogg
11:23:53amiconnThe pcm driver will allow WAV (and AIFF) playback and recording, and I have strong hopes for a MOD layer as well
11:25:02amiconnI think I should do (4) first, then (3), hopefully both being done before the freeze
11:25:57amiconn(5) is too much work to be completed before the freeze, and the others aren't archos related (and hence not strictly necessary for 2.5)

14:25:45Bger*time
14:26:22muesli-what was the limit file size for fat32, 2 or 4 gig?
14:27:44ashridah2
14:27:44Bgeri have some questions regarding this ... like for example
14:27:49ashridahi seem to recall, at any rate
14:27:50LinusN4 gig
14:28:01muesli-ah ok...
14:28:11ashridahhm. could have sworn i'd run into it at 2.
14:28:19muesli-yepp, me too
14:28:20LinusNhowever, it's often better to limit it to 2
14:28:32ashridahthen again, i've got a 4GB iso image on a fat32 drive here.
14:28:35ashridah:)
14:28:39LinusNbecause so many apps use signed integers for file positioning
14:29:02LinusN(and possibly also rockbox)
14:29:40Bger1) any objections in trying as full USB support as we can ? like supporting USB hubs and accordingly, more than one device attached in one moment
14:30:30LinusNno objections, but start small
14:31:00ashridahi agree. so many usb devices have quirks it's not funny.
14:31:39ashridahlike, say, the iriver itself, which magically decides to offer up an empty usb packet when asked for a data read on occasion
14:32:10ashridah(giving linux hysterics, since it promptly has to reset the device, and used to not notice at all, and hand the fs layer uninitialized data
14:32:55Bgerit's clear that i'll not try to get hubs working in the beginning
14:33:56Bgerbut if we make the API in way to support only one device ... you know what happens when suddenly someone try to extend it
14:34:09Bgerwhat will happen
14:36:34Bger2) any objections in trying to use part of linux 2.6's USB stack as a skeleton (obviously removing as much as possible)
14:39:46LinusNwhatever works
14:40:27Bgerin fact i mostly mean to use cutted down headers like usb_ch9.h

14:42:14Bgeralso parts of usb.h

22:24:05Shebbsorry, Hardeep, if you are there:
22:24:43ShebbSomeone of the forum suggested I talked to you if I wanted to get a playlist patch into the cvs
22:25:40 Quit Lynx_ (" bye!")
22:30:04LinusNShebb: i still don't understand what your patch does
22:32:39hardeepis this the "Add to playlist" patch? If so, I don't fully understand it either
22:33:40hardeepit looks like it manages playlists on disk, but seems like an overly complicated way of doing it
22:34:08ShebbAh, well I will explain I guess... it works fine for me
22:34:20ShebbYou add playlists to it
22:34:33ShebbYou probably saw that bit of it.
22:34:47ShebbThen hold select on a music file
22:35:06ShebbAnd you will be a ble to add it to any of the playlists that you have referenced
22:35:50LinusNwhat exactly is "it"?
22:36:28LinusNok, so you have a file with a list of playlists in it?
22:36:41ShebbYes...
22:36:51ShebbThen if you hold select on a music file
22:36:59LinusNok i get it
22:37:24hardeepso, essentially, it's just an extension of the favourites plugin that supports multiple playlists?
22:37:24LinusNso it is like the add-to-favourites plugin
22:37:25ShebbYou can click 'Playlist catalog' then one of the add options
22:37:38ShebbThen the different playlists you have marked will appear
22:37:48ShebbYou select one and the music file shall be added to it
22:38:38LinusNhow do i add playlists to the list?
22:38:49ShebbHold select on a playlist
22:39:03ShebbThen 'Playlist catalog', add playlist
22:39:07LinusNi like this
22:39:32LinusNthe favourites plugin is so cumbersome
22:39:38ShebbYeah it is
22:39:49Shebbthis works well once you get used to it
22:40:01Shebband once you add a file to a playlist, that playlist will move to the top
22:40:08Shebbfor quick insertions of other songs
22:42:02LinusNi'll check it out
22:42:05ShebbWhat is not so good about it is that only 100 playlists can be added since I load the whole file into the buffer each time it is needed
22:42:45LinusNwho would want 100 playlists to choose from?
22:43:04LinusNcan i delete a playlist from the list?

22:44:03ShebbYes, it is an option under 'playlist catalog'
22:44:32Shebband playlists are automatically removed if they are choosen but do not actually exist for some reason or other
22:45:05hardeepHow often do you really add to multiple playlists at the same time?
22:45:24hardeephow about something simpler where you designate one playlist and begin inserting to it
22:45:32hardeepdon't need the catalog at all then
22:46:02LinusNi would use at least two lists
22:46:13ShebbSame...
22:46:20LinusNone "favourites" and one "rerip/delete"
22:47:31LinusNShebb: so the playlist must exist first?
22:48:09ShebbAs of now yes.
22:48:22ShebbBut I suppose I could get it to create one
22:48:25hardeepokay, i guess i'm the odd one then =)
22:48:48Shebbhardeep: what is useful too is that you can play any playlist in the catalon
22:49:12Shebbit acts as a shorcut to them too which I find useful
22:49:22hardeepShebb: using the playlist_insert() function is overkill when you're just adding one track... it would be a lot more efficient to just write at the end of the file
22:49:35LinusNwhen i listen to music, i often find a song that i want to rerip or delete
22:50:03LinusNwould be handy to just add that to a playlist, to remember it
22:50:18Shebbyes I should change that
22:50:33LinusNand i sometimes want to add a song to a favourites list too
22:51:02LinusNbut the favourites plugin is so cumbersome to start
22:51:10ShebbAdding a playlist to the end of a playlist could be done that way too
22:51:25***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
22:51:27ShebbThe favourites plugin really is a little slow...
22:51:38ShebbThe other think I have s
22:51:49Shebbsorry, trigger happy on the enter key today
22:52:13ShebbThe other thing I have done is made a modified quick list
22:52:21ShebbI should upload that
22:52:24hardeepShebb: we don't support recursive playlists so you couldn't add a playlist to the end that way
22:52:30LinusNquick list?
22:52:49ShebbWhat you access if you hold A-B
22:52:56LinusNah, quick screen
22:53:10LinusNmodified in what way?
22:53:14ShebbI added 6 buttons
22:53:25Shebband control over what each one does
22:53:34ShebbTo allow user customisation
22:54:10LinusNdoes that work on the archos as well?
22:54:25ShebbFor myself I stuck on the crossfade settings, the favorites plugin (which I wont need now) and one or two of the screen savers
22:54:26 Quit hardeep ("[BX] Life is like BitchX. Ya never know what yer gunna git.")
22:54:35ShebbWorks for the archos

22:54:54ShebbI left it how it was though.. the functionality split across 2 screens
22:55:08LinusNok
22:55:31LinusNi can't understand how the i2c driver worked for austriancoder...
22:55:41LinusNthe scl has no pullup
22:56:37ShebbI need to leave... if there is anything that should be changed about the playlist patch for it to get on to the cvs can you notw it here and I will check the log
22:56:39 Part Shebb
22:57:42LinusNsure
22:57:56LinusNamiconn: you there?
23:00
23:01:33amiconnJust came home
23:03:03LinusNyou did the i2c code for the ondio fm driver?
23:03:17amiconnNo, Jörg did that
23:03:20LinusNok
23:03:25amiconnI only have an Ondio SP...
23:03:27LinusNhere's what i've found
23:03:48LinusNthe iriver has another design flaw, it has no pullup for the scl pin
23:03:52amiconnMy sister has an FM, so I can occasionally test things
23:04:17LinusNso the internal i2c controller doesn't work
23:04:26LinusNwe will have to bitbang it
23:05:03LinusNi wonder how austriancoder had it working though, maybe some players have a pullup
23:05:27LinusNi pulled it up with a resistor and it started working
23:05:36amiconnHmm, strange
23:05:46amiconnI wonder how iriver does it...
23:06:16LinusNhowever, the fm chip doesn't seem to clock stretch, so we can bitbang without much trouble
23:06:31LinusNi guess they bitbang
23:12:00amiconnIf we need to bitbang, it should be possible to use the same driver as on the ondio with just the port access macros redefined, correct?
23:12:37LinusNyes, toni1 had that working
23:12:46LinusNthere is a patch in the tracker for it
23:14:18amiconnIf SCL has no pullup we can't wait for the release like on the Ondio though
23:14:44LinusNnope
23:15:07LinusNbut my logic analysis shows that it doesn't clock stretch
23:15:32amiconnHmm, and the delay loop should adjust to the current clock
23:16:22LinusNyup
23:16:39amiconnI still want to change the normal and max frequencies to be integer multiples of the base
23:16:46LinusNdo that
23:16:58amiconnThat's part of my (1) from today around noon
23:17:19LinusN:-)

23:18:30amiconnThe backlight fading will still need to boost the CPU, because the timer periods are really short, but the grayscale lib hopefully won't require it anymore
