00:24:49stripwaxso today the iriver went back to iRiver Europe, lets hope they can fix it. I managed to get it to turn on one more time before it went out for the count, and took the opportunity to reflash with an iriver firmware just in case ;-)

01:36:17rasherlinuxstb: so why wasn't the iriver-radio change submitted?
01:38:39linuxstbrasher: No-one said yes.
01:38:59linuxstbI'm happy to wait until 2.5 is released.
01:39:17rasherAh
01:39:21rasherShould be RSN
01:39:57linuxstbYes - it's been RSN for the last couple of days. But amiconn and LinusN have the final say - they are doing the work.
01:40:41amiconnRSN??
01:40:46rasherReal Soon Now
01:40:54rasher(as in, not really, but it might be!)
01:41:01amiconnah thx
01:41:15rasherI suspect it's in the jargon file
01:41:26amiconnThe radio change for iriver isn't really a new feature
01:42:33linuxstbBut the general opinion (rightly or wrongly) seems to have been to leave the iriver port alone and not commit anything that isn't a strict bug-fix.
01:42:57rasherAh yes, http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/R/Real-Soon-Now.html
01:43:58rasherlinuxstb: I think that was the initial opinion. Mostly to not give people ideas. But when it came to actually deciding, the policy was less strict.
01:44:02amiconnlinuxstb: It's a feature freeze, not a code freeze. Many things I've done aren't strictly bug fixes, but optimisations
01:44:08amiconnNobody vetoed...
01:44:51rasherI think the freeze has been fairly well handled.
01:45:00amiconnSomebody please explain gcc's opinions about code placement... they're sometimes strange...
01:45:17*amiconn is currently investigating a new recording transfer loop for archos
01:48:56rasherDoesn't sound like my idea of fun. (at least if gcc is getting in the way)
01:49:17amiconnMeh, I *hate* acoustic feedback :(
01:52:55amiconnrasher: It doesn't get in the way, but I wanted to check what gcc produced from my C code. One snippet puzzled me, it even looked like unreachable code.
01:53:35amiconnTurned out gcc "displaced" this code into a gap outside the normal flow
01:55:01rasherInteresting

07:19:28amiconnLinusN: Did you read the log? If not, http://www.rockbox.org/irc/rockbox-20050915.txt , starting 20:21
07:20:06LinusNsaw that
07:20:27amiconnI wonder what we're doing wrong... :(
07:20:42LinusNi have no ida
07:20:44LinusNidea
07:21:37LinusNwe could try without the peak meter
07:21:59amiconnArchos also has a peakmeter
07:22:16LinusNi know...
07:22:26 Join linuxstb_ [0] (n=linuxstb@i-83-67-212-170.freedom2surf.net)
07:23:19amiconnThe question is how often they peek, but then we already had a low peek rate for a while
07:24:27amiconnI also tried a modified transfer loop. Same result, recording gets shiften after a while
07:25:19amiconn2 bits to the left after a little more than 30 minutes this time
07:25:57LinusNreally annoying
07:26:35LinusNa bit shift sounds like a glitch on a serial bus
07:26:41LinusNinside the mas
07:29:42LinusNhmmm

07:32:07amiconnLinusN: It would be really interesting what happens at the point of failure transfer-wise, but afaik logic analyzers aren't capable of long-term recording (?)
07:32:38amiconnWith transfer-wise I mean both the parallel port DMA and I²C
07:33:05LinusNthey are, but myine is a cheap one, with limited triggering capabilities
07:33:09LinusNmine
07:34:00amiconnWhat we would need here would be capturing everything during a long recording. YOu'll never know in advance at which point the glitch will happen
07:34:11LinusNtrue
07:34:12amiconnlong recording means at least 2 hours
07:35:49 Quit linuxstb (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
07:39:08LinusNamiconn: do you have disk poweroff activated?
07:39:29LinusNi can imagine that a voltage dip could cause a clock slip in the mas
07:44:50amiconnI have disk poweroff enabled all the time...
07:45:53amiconnCould be interesting to logf() the spinup/-down times
07:46:10amiconn...and compare that to a glitch point in a test recording
07:46:27amiconnI should do tests on the Ondio as well...
07:47:57amiconnHmm, but how does that match the pattern that the probability of the glitch depends both on quality setting and recording level?
07:50:49LinusNperhaps more power is drawn/needed by the dsp?
07:52:05LinusNor the internal serial bus is faster at higher q levels
07:52:21LinusNrecording level will surely affect the voltage
07:53:39amiconnHmm, but archos also spins up/down the disk. I would think the voltage dip from spinup is "harder" than the one from drive poweron?
07:53:56LinusNi suspect the opposite
07:54:22LinusNi thought the archos didn't spin down the disk...
07:55:03amiconnIt does
07:55:21amiconnWhy do you suspect the voltage dip from poweron being harder?
07:55:44amiconnIdle current of the disk is around 10 mA, spinup current can easily exceed 1 A...
07:56:19LinusNthe entire drive is powered on instead of just the motor and some other stuff
07:57:01amiconnHmm. Can we measure that somehow?
07:57:14LinusNguess so, with an oscilloscope
07:57:25amiconnBtw, all my test recordings are done with the charger connected
07:57:26LinusNwe could measure the voltage and see if it dips
07:58:10amiconnMy next test recording will probably be without code modification, but disk poweroff disabled
07:58:17LinusNafaik, archos uses STANDBY instead of SLEEP
07:58:28amiconn...perhaps in parallel with an Ondio test recording

09:46:41B4gderand almost everything is more than 14 months old
09:47:02B4gderwhich seems wrong
09:47:21Zagoryes, surely there has been some work the last 14 months?
09:48:01B4gdernot committed in the linux area
09:48:26B4gderI guess they focus on apps

09:54:16linuxstb_Mine should hopefully arrive tomorrow morning.
09:54:21B4gder:-)
09:54:47B4gdera 4g one?
09:55:28linuxstb_Yep - a 60GB Photo.
09:55:40B4gderaha, color...
09:55:42linuxstb_PP5020 based I hope.
09:55:52linuxstb_That seems the most widely used processor.
09:56:09B4gderyes
09:56:38ZagorBagder: elf2flt seems to just be a convoluted way of avoiding using objdump
09:57:26B4gderaha

10:10:25Zagormaybe they just mean cpu throttling

10:11:11Zagorbrace for itunes barrage...
10:11:50Rickyou guys are working on rockbox for ipod?
10:11:51Ricknifty
10:12:02B4gderZagor: you can avoid that
10:12:14B4gderthere are open source hacks that write the db format
10:12:23Zagoryeah, i know
10:12:31B4gderbut then, rockbox doesn't need itunes ;-)
10:13:07linuxstb_I'm sure Rockbox will only appeal to people who don't use itunes.
10:13:28B4gdermost probably, yes
10:16:01Zagorotoh we'll get someone working on itunes support in no time if we start making ipod noises
10:16:21Zagorpeople love that program, for some reason
10:16:57linuxstb_Yes, I think developers for the apps/ side of the project will be plentiful, once Rockbox is working.
10:17:13Zagorso, do we hold 2.5 for it then? ;)
10:17:18B4gderhehehe
10:19:31linuxstb_Reading the logs for #ipodlinux, it seems they are having problems with some of the latest colour LCDs...
10:20:29B4gderI wonder where they have the driver
10:20:34B4gderhttp://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/ipodlinux/linux-2.6/drivers/video/
10:20:49linuxstb_There's also some code in the bootloader - to display Tux.
10:20:58B4gder"first cut iPod port" doesn't sound like the all-covering lcd code
10:24:10B4gderyes, here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/ipodlinux/tools/ipodloader/tools.c?view=markup
10:24:56B4gderbut that doesn't seem to be adjusted for the color lcds
10:26:37B4gderjust look at that code:

10:45:34linuxstb_B4gder: Have you found any references to which version of gcc the ipodlinux people are using?
10:45:43B4gderno
10:45:47B4gderjust arm-elf
10:46:31Rickwhy not just ask them?
10:47:07B4gderthey recommend 2.95.3(!) for the kernel build
10:47:15linuxstb_From what I can tell, I think they use a special gcc required for uclinux
10:48:04B4gderbut I believe that is a kernel requirement and not really required by others
10:48:15B4gderthe gcc on arm has been really bad for kernel builds
10:48:34B4gderthe gcc situation I should say
10:50:44linuxstb_Yes, it's a patched version of 2.95.3 - it's all in this script: http://uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/arm-elf-tools/tools-20030314/build-uclinux-tools.sh
10:51:04snaxhuh?
10:51:48snaxI recently built an arm linux system mostly from scratch with gcc 3.4.something
10:52:14snaxincluding a kernel
10:52:15B4gderyes, they've sorted out most of the things in the 3.4 branch
10:52:47B4gderjust because it worked for you doesn't mean there aren't any problems left you know ;-)
10:53:09B4gder(I used to hang out on the arm-linux-kernel list)
10:54:35B4gderthey even use a binutils patch, against 2.10
10:55:09B4gderlinuxstb_: you sure they still use this?
10:55:09linuxstb_Gotta go now. See you later.

12:56:25pengothank you
12:56:56pengothe site says it can't do flac in realtime but it seems fine to me ..?
12:57:34B4gderI believe there are some problems with some specific compression levels or similar
12:57:41B4gderor perhaps they've been fixed as well
12:58:19pengoah k
12:58:31pengoi haven't tried a wide range of files
12:58:50CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
12:58:50*B4gder has never tried flac at all ;-)

13:01:32amiconnB4gder: Supporting the ipod will be "fun". Two different filesystems. Happy HFS+ing
13:01:41B4gderfat32
13:01:47B4gderand scrap the rest
13:02:36B4gderuntil some lunatic writes hfs support ;-)
13:04:32B4gderthe good part about ipod is that no flashing is involved
13:07:04pengoi guess it'd be non-trivial to take an hfs+ driver from linux
13:07:11*amiconn is curious how long the apple firmware on ipod needs to boot, and how ipodlinux compares to that
13:07:11B4gderyes
13:07:33B4gderpengo: linux code is generally a lot more complicated than the rockbox version
13:07:47pengoyah
13:07:49B4gdercomparing for example the fat32 code
13:07:51amiconnI don't like the disk boot. It has an inherent boot speed limit
13:08:06B4gderamiconn: yes, but it makes hacking the unit so much safer
13:08:11amiconnEven rockbox on H1x0 boots a little slow for my taste
13:08:39*amiconn wants firmware_flash.rock supoort for H1x0
13:09:05pengohow big is the (flash) rom?
13:10:23B4gder2MB iirc
13:10:32B4gderin the h1x0
13:17:11amiconnHmm. Supporting ipods will be loads and loads of work with all the differing hardware across generations
13:17:55B4gdersure
13:18:45linuxstbipodlinux seems to do everything using run-time hardware detection.
13:19:26pengois it possible to record from FM on the h120 ? (in actuality or in theory?)

14:23:18datadevilbut as it seems to have PortalPlayer chipset..
14:23:29datadevilor is there no work on the iPod either?
14:23:49Zagordatadevil: no. there's some talk about it, but noone has even bought an ipod yet.
14:24:30QThi!
14:24:50QTi was reading a report about the new nano player from apple. what a nice gadget :-)
14:24:51pengosomeone buy someone an ipod already
14:24:51Zagorportalplayer is a pain, since their chipset docs are secret
14:25:41datadevilzagor: i thought ipods were selling by the millions ;-)
14:25:57Zagorwell, not to rockbox users (or developers)
14:26:01datadevilahh ;-)
14:26:38linuxstbI've just bought an ipod - I should receive it tomorrow or Monday.
14:27:25pengolinuxstb, you a rockbox devver?
14:27:36datadevili'm still in doubt as to wether to buy the h10 or the nano
14:27:41datadevilleaning towards the h10
14:29:25linuxstbpengo: Yes.
14:29:45linuxstbI think I could be called that.
14:30:03Zagorlinuxstb: you are the ipod pioneer ;)
14:31:45linuxstbhehe. I think it just needs someone to make a small start, and that's my plan. Hopefully others will follow.
14:31:47pengothere seems to be a lot of code in something simple like chessclock.c
14:33:21QTlinuxstb: which one did you buy?
14:33:36QTi still have a 2G ipod with 20GB, but i hardly use it
14:34:10QTis it too impatient to ask about the release date? ;-)
14:34:31datadevilnahh
14:34:34datadevilone can always ask
14:34:51datadevilthe ID Software reply might be the one you get; 'when its done'
14:35:28QTyeah, that's right. i know this answer when asking for the release date of Debian Stable :)
14:37:06pengo"when it's done" is sometimes better than "real soon now"
14:38:32linuxstbQT: A 60GB color model.
14:38:59datadevilwhat would you guys recommend when buying an mp3 player for around 200 euros/dollars
14:39:31linuxstbSo it's a 4G model. It's seems there are now two types of color LCDs in use on iPods, one is understood by the ipodlinux people, one is not (yet).
14:39:59linuxstbSo the first task will probably to get the new type of LCD working (assuming my iPod has the new type of LCD).
14:40:31QTdatadevil: depends on your needs I'd say
14:40:37QTlinuxstb: sounds nice
14:42:10QTi find it a pain to have an ipod without dock connector as all the accessoires are now made for this
14:42:42datadevilQT: my needs are ease of use with linux, and maybe hackability
14:42:55linuxstbI'm completely new to the ipod world, so I guess I'll find out about the annoyances.
14:43:13QTdatadevil: hmm, sounds like you want an iriver H1x0 series
14:43:42pengodatadevil, get one off ebay :)
14:45:05QTi just wish i could plug my iRiver into my car radio and control it via the radio headunit and via the steering wheel control buttons
14:46:37QTbut this is just available for iPods with dock connector :-/
14:48:50datadevilthe H1x0's seem to be hard to get by on ebay
14:49:15pengoi was going to sell mine
14:49:20pengobut now i have rockbox
14:49:26QTi can understand that. i would never give mine away :)
14:49:59QTit is a lovely device even though a bit bulky and heavy

14:52:15datadevilwould it be better to buy then an H10 tho....
14:53:19ZagorQT: make a little protocol converter box. you'd sell hundreds, methinks.

14:56:39pengois there a lot of usb code in rockbox or does it rely on existing firmware?

14:57:05QTas my car head unit is able to process MP3 files from DVD media I rather stick to this method even though it is a bit odd
14:57:06Zagorneither, it relies on hardware usb
14:57:33pengoZagor, ah k.. what about file "serving"?
14:57:47Zagorhow do you mean?
14:58:05pengothe interface between usb and hard drive when you plug it in

18:50:13amiconnInteresting result from my latest test recording...
18:50:52CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
18:50:52*amiconn has a suspicion for the cause of the unexpected shutdown of the archos firmware during recording...
18:54:17amiconnWith my new transfer routine, recording broke down later than it did with the old one (on average). Over 5 hours intact recording at q=7 with high level
18:55:36amiconnPerhaps this is wild speculation, but I suspect that the archos recording does in fact suffer from the same problem. Under the assumption that they monitor the mp3 data stream, this monitoring would then detect "no data stream", and the unit shut down
18:58:24 Join HCl [0] (i=hcl@titania.student.utwente.nl)

19:08:40[IDC]Dragonshutdown on error condition is very harsh...
19:08:58amiconnThe suspicion is that it doesn't detect the error
19:09:00[IDC]DragonI doubt it, they could end the recording, worst case
19:09:28amiconnWhat I think is that there is a rather simple implementation of idle timeout
19:10:39amiconnIt would shutdown if (1) the timeout is reached after the last activity and (2) no mp3 transfer is running
19:11:03amiconn(2) becomes true in case of a corrupt stream....

23:33:44|D4ni31|ive got rockbox-h120-20050829
23:33:51|D4ni31|29.08.05
23:33:54Bagderthen it doesn't work
23:33:57|D4ni31|oh
23:34:02|D4ni31|its a new feature?
23:35:05rasherYeah, the syntax changed about a week ago
23:35:14|D4ni31|aah k, thx a lot
23:35:31|D4ni31|so how do I upgrade? delete the .rockbox folder and put the new one over it?
23:35:52rasherYup
23:35:55|D4ni31|do i have to save some files? like *.cfg
23:36:11rasherAnd overwrite rockbox.iriver
23:36:24|D4ni31|k
23:36:37rasherJust leave the dir and overwrite everything
23:36:53|D4ni31|k
23:36:56|D4ni31|thx
23:37:21rasherBagder: any news on release-status?
23:37:55Bagderthe ball is amiconn's and LinusN's
23:38:03Bagderin my view they are too picky
23:39:18rasherI guess it's all about whether or not delaying will be worth it.
23:39:24Moosrecordings tests in process, no? amiconn?
23:39:35amiconnYes, two tests in parallel
23:40:23amiconnI'm putting Linus' idea about hard disk poweroff disturbing the mas to test
23:40:46amiconnI'm recording on the v1 and the Ondio FM in parallel, same source
23:41:03amiconnI've disabled disk poweroff on the recorder, and the Ondio has no disk at all
23:41:49amiconn...but MMC, so no spinup at all
23:43:05Mooshow many time recording now?
23:43:05amiconnI think that it is possible to rescue important user recordings with this failure
23:43:49rasherMuch better than irreversible damage, that..
23:43:50amiconnIt just takes some in-depth analysis with a hex editor, and my bitshifter program
23:44:17amiconnMoos: Already running for 4 hours
23:44:32Moosok
23:44:46Mooswhat it was the max?
23:45:02Mooswithout problems :)
23:45:07amiconnThis is time consuming... Latest recording glitched at >5 hours
23:45:27Moosoh ok
23:45:55amiconnIt got somewhat better with my tweaked transfer loop
23:46:25Mooscongrates :)
23:46:38amiconnBefore that I had glitches after 1..3 hours

23:46:53BoD[]Helloooo
23:47:02Mooshi
23:47:28BoD[]Hey what do you guys know about the commodore player ? :)
23:47:34rasherSo i wasn't lying when I wrote thu 2.5 lowers the risk of corrupted recordings significantly..
23:48:16amiconnDefinitely
23:48:20rashers/thu/that/
23:48:38amiconnEven current cvs does that, since 4th of June
23:51:03amiconnThe recording transfer loop in 2.4 was asm optimised, but worked rather bad....

23:51:24amiconnIt was coded by me back then ... :-/
23:51:51rasher2.5 sure has a lot of changes
23:52:18amiconnYes, especially since it's waay off schedule
23:52:40rasherBy quite a bit
23:52:41amiconnThis seems to be standard with the latest rockbox releases
23:53:18amiconnEvery release we say "The next release shouldn't be that far in the future, a 2-month schedule would be good"
23:53:25rasher9 months is too long :-\
23:53:31amiconnAlready 9 months have passed...
23:54:49rasherIMHO, 2 months is too little though.. You'd start thinking "release" quite quickly after the last one..
23:55:34amiconnI can't say that much about older releases though, joined after 2.2 ...
23:56:18rasherI'm only here after 2.4, so..
23:56:55Bagderyou newbies ;-)
23:57:07amiconnToday I found a rather interesting day in the irc logs - http://www.rockbox.org/irc/rockbox-20020920.txt
23:57:11rasherOh yes.
23:57:32amiconnThat was way before I joined. Already talks about featuritis etc. Sounds familiar? ;)
23:58:19amiconnBefore the 1.4 release...
