#rockbox log for 2005-11-09

00:00:06amiconn...but writing has to be done with 16bit width
00:00:34amiconnHow should we handle such special conditions?
00:04:29LinusNdo we have to read them as char?
00:06:19preglowi wonder if i should just remove support for sv4-6 musepack streams
00:06:41amiconnLinusN: Yes, the datasheet says so
00:07:28LinusNso silly...
00:07:36amiconnIn fact, you have to write to TCSR and TCNT with a 16 bit access to the same address (0x05FFFFB8), the high byte determines which register is written
00:07:51LinusNomg
00:07:55amiconnHigh byte 0x5A -> TCNT, 0xA5 -> TCSR
00:08:22amiconnRead address for TCSR is 0x05FFFFB8, for TCNT it is 0x05FFFFB9
00:09:14LinusNlinuxstb: the lowlevel functions in lcd-16bit.c should be moved to lcd-ipod.c or something...
00:09:33linuxstbSure.
00:09:53LinusNlots of linking errors for the h300 as it is now
00:10:03amiconnLinusN: You're right, but then lcd-recorder.c needs some cleanup too. Today it contains the gmini lowlevel code
00:10:13BagderLinusN: but nothing really serious, is there?
00:10:32 Quit ender` (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:10:49LinusNBagder: no, but i'd have to #ifdef a lot in the lcd-16bit.c to make it build
00:10:55Bagderah
00:11:09LinusNit's very ipod-centric as it is now
00:11:11linuxstbLinusN: Feel free to change lcd-16bit.c - I haven't made any changes locally.
00:11:17LinusNoki
00:11:39linuxstbThere's also lots of dead code just copied from the h100 driver - as an example of how those functions should be implemented.
00:11:56LinusNinl()....outl()...yuck
00:12:03Bagderhehe
00:12:33amiconnlinuxstb: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=1780.0
00:12:55XShocKjust a quick equstion. gcc 4.0.2 is not supported, right? rockbox builds and strarts, but no plugins work..
00:13:11linuxstbamiconn: What a stange post...
00:13:23amiconnhehe

00:21:50XavierGrLinusN: did you read my comment about those mp3s that showed wrong lenght earlier?
00:22:04preglowhmm, i just tried a bootloader build for the nano, and it failed
00:22:47preglowriiiight, probably the tools dep error again
00:23:39LinusNXavierGr: no
00:24:02XavierGrwell it seems that the same bug is reproducable in foobar
00:24:11XavierGrwhile in foobar is way worse
00:24:24XavierGrtags cannot be shown in these files
00:25:08XavierGrif the wrong lenght is smaller than the true it will skip tracks midways.
00:25:13amiconnHmm, something is indeed wrong with the recorder v1 charging. Now that I charged my batteries in an external charger, runtime is already ~13h and still going
00:25:19preglowthe rockbox.org box is really going to have a run for its money with new ipod builds as well, heh
00:25:29amiconnWith internal charging, I get 6...7 hours of runtime
00:25:41XavierGrep0ch said to upload the files and check them
00:25:47XavierGrany idea where to upload some?
00:26:34XavierGr(ep0ch said to upload the files, and he will check them) just to not misunderstand
00:26:37BagderXavierGr: I'll offer a link in /msg
00:28:26*preglow got the ipod money

00:41:02amiconnIt seems the automated builds got a lot slower than they used to be
00:41:15amiconnAlmost an hour now
00:41:24amiconn...and still running
00:41:37Bagderits due to other processes running on the host
00:42:15amiconnYes, you mentioned that. So the number of other processes increased a lot recently?
00:42:39 Quit XavierGr (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:42:57Bagderactually, I don't think the build time has increased to an hour at all times
00:43:09preglowit doesn't
00:43:22preglowtwelve 'o clock is usually prime cron time
00:44:24Bagderthe last 4 builds averaged on 1875 seconds build time
00:44:54Bagdera little over 31 minutes
00:45:09preglowi wonder what it would be without ccache
00:46:08Bagderwell I'm not gonna try ;-)

00:53:24markunYay!
00:53:29amiconnUsing the watchdog for reset on SH1 works
00:54:22*amiconn has a convenient test plugin "lawbreaker", that just enabled memory guard, then tries to read from location zero

01:01:49preglowhahah
01:02:04BagderI've edited the robots.txt now
01:03:53XavierGrep0ch, Linus, or others that are interested: this link has 3 tracks which have the length bug with rockbox -> http://daniel.haxx.se/rockbox/xaviergr/
01:04:35XavierGrI have others too but mostly classical so the size of them is prohibited for upload with my connection.
01:06:53XavierGris it easy for someone to explain me what's the purpose of yield() function?
01:07:02preglowit passes control on to the next thread
01:07:16XavierGrwith no parameters?
01:07:19preglowrockbox uses cooperative threading
01:07:19preglowyes
01:07:34preglowif there are other threads running (which there always are), you pass the control on to them
01:07:37XavierGrif we have 3 threads how can I switch to a specific one?
01:07:39preglowyou can't
01:07:47preglowrockbox uses a simple round robin scheduler
01:08:07XavierGrso every time I yiled another thread takes control?
01:08:15preglowyes, that's the entire point of it
01:08:22preglowyou're not supposed to care what thread is run
01:08:32preglowif you do, you're doing something wrong

01:09:03XavierGrso what will happen if I call yield twice in a row?
01:09:38XavierGrwill the scond time be executed?
01:09:50TiMiDamiconn: I'm investigating
01:10:14BagderXavierGr: yes, when it has run all the other threads one lap
01:10:14amiconnAlso, there's still the player default icon problem
01:10:19TiMiDyes
01:10:25TiMiDit's solved (I think)
01:10:42TiMiDI will commit if i find a way to solve this one too
01:11:00amiconnOn target, the icon isn't always blank, sometimes it shows a garbage icon
01:11:24XShocKomg. i can't replicate the error i got with gcc 4.0.2... it now works as it should....
01:11:41TiMiDthe problem is just that when deleting, tree.c doesn't put the cursor to the right place
01:15:00amiconnBagder: Does the server do one automated build for every commit, even when several commits queued up during the previous build "round"?
01:15:37XShocKanybody got the same result with gcc 4.0.2 ? "rockbox loads, but can't load plugins."
01:16:03XShocKsince i built it again, put in the player, and it works perfectly...
01:16:18Bagderamiconn: after a build is made, it waits a minute and checks for changes
01:16:28Bagderany number
01:16:33Bagderand if any, it rebuilds
01:16:41Bagderif not, it waits a minute and rechecks
01:19:05amiconnSounds like it should be :)
01:19:33TiMiDwhat was the previous behaviour when deleting a file ? selecting the first item of the dir, the next item, the previous one ?
01:19:46amiconnHmm.
01:20:13amiconnIiuc the cursor was placed on the next file, unless the last one was deleted
01:20:51amiconnIirc...
01:20:53TiMiDok
01:21:23TiMiDI will look at the old code to see how it was handled
01:21:24linuxstb_That sounds natural anyway - i.e. it keeps the cursor in the same position and shifts all subsquent files up one place.
01:21:54TiMiDsince there is no indication given to the filetree that a file has been deleted
01:22:07TiMiDonly ONPLAY_RELOAD_DIR
01:22:11TiMiD:(
01:22:35LinusNthat should be enough, shouldn't it?
01:23:21TiMiDI wonder what trick do they made to make it work :(
01:25:10TiMiDI see a way to fix it, maybe it was the one previously used
01:25:36linuxstb_All you need to do is remember the cursor position in the list, reload the directory, and then check if it's still within the bounds. If not, then set it to the last file.
01:26:43LinusNexactly
01:27:02TiMiDexacly what I thought ;)
01:27:40TiMiDmagic
01:27:44TiMiDit works :)
01:29:42preglowargghhh
01:29:44*preglow kicks musepack
01:30:34XShocKok. IHP120 works perfectly with gcc 4 ( tested everything except audio files, since only have mp3s..)
01:31:00linuxstb_preglow: You seem very determined to hammer musepack into shape.
01:31:39preglowlinuxstb_: yes, after i realized i knew it well enough to do it
01:31:45preglowbut it is remarkably resistant
01:34:06linuxstb_XShocK: Can you test a change to libfaad with gcc4? It's part of the code that causes an internal compiler error with 3.4.x
01:34:43linuxstb_You just need to change "#if 0" to "#if 1" in line 74 of apps/codecs/libfaad/fixed.h and then compile
01:35:14XShocKok
01:35:20preglowremarkable, the stack is _JUST_ not big enough for me to stuff a couple of arrays into it
01:35:40preglowany reason why the codec stacks are exactly 1152*4*2 ? :)
01:35:40linuxstb_XShocK: Thanks. I'm curious if gcc4 is better than gcc3 in that respect.
01:39:22XShocKit compiled on gcc 4
01:39:30XShocKand on gc 3.4.3 it failed
01:39:44preglowhmm
01:39:59linuxstb_Maybe that means we should all upgrade then...
01:39:59LinusNtime to sleep, nite all
01:40:00preglowperhaps it's time to move on to gcc4 for m68k
01:40:03preglowLinusN: gnite

01:57:31preglowperhaps i should build myself a gcc4 toolset myself
01:57:33linuxstbIt's very very close now.
01:57:41linuxstbYes - I think we should all upgrade.
01:58:10linuxstbWould your multiplication cause this improvement, or do you think it's also gcc itself?
01:58:56preglowi tend to believe the last
01:59:03preglowMUL_C isn't used that often outside of sbr
01:59:17linuxstbIn which case, most of the codecs should see an increase then.
01:59:43preglowit's worth a try
01:59:53preglowperhaps you'd like to do some quick boost ratio comparisons? :)
02:00
02:00:35linuxstbhehe. Just give me 200 hours...
02:00:52 Quit novimon (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
02:00:57linuxstbSorry, you meant boost ratio, not runtime?
02:02:13linuxstbNo noticeable difference with ALAC.
02:03:31preglowwhen i want to replace an array in a struct with a pointer to some outside array without modifying any source, i just replace a int hehe[400]; by int *hehe; and assign the pointer somewhere else. what if i want to do the same for 'int hehe[30][30]'? there's nothing i can do like that then, no?
02:04:02linuxstbI've thought about the same problem - without thinking of a solution.
02:04:23preglowi can fit the entire mpc_decoder struct in iram now, but i need to outsource a set of arrays like that :/
02:06:33amiconnPointers to multi-dimensional arrays are possible, but don't ask me how to insert these into a struct
02:06:54linuxstbNot sure if this helps: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/int/sx9b.html
02:06:57amiconnIirc TiMiD's fire plugin used these before I did my optimising work
02:07:56preglowamiconn: yes, they are possible, but you need to edit the source using the struct after substituting the original multidim array for a pointer
02:08:45preglowlibmad uses them all the time

04:45:03Midgey31but he seems to like it
04:45:16XavierGr4GB right?
04:45:32Midgey31yes
04:45:59Midgey31its actually the MuVo 2 Fm if that makes any difference
04:46:23Midgey31the fact that it can only play MP3 and WMA is why I tend to stay away from it
04:46:28XavierGryes it is UMS as far as I can remember
04:46:39XavierGrit was the first DAP i considered bying
04:47:04Midgey31I did the same because it was so much cheaper than an iPod
04:47:05XavierGrthen I saw a ZEN extra 60GB but I realised that without UMS capabilities I couldn't live
04:47:15Midgey31I really like the Zen
04:47:21Midgey31although it is a big large
04:47:30XavierGrthen I saw an iHP-140 I fell in love with it and still I am...
04:48:01Midgey31they were discontinued at the time I got my h320 and I don't have found memories with ebay
04:48:35XavierGrwell I am considering to buy an h340 as an alternative if my unit fails...
04:49:01XavierGrbut they are not easy to find and I don't think I can afford another 400euros
04:49:42XavierGrbut even in thought that one day it will be the most capable Rockbox mp3 player...
04:50:04Midgey31for the time being
04:50:11Midgey31who knows what may come along
04:50:18Midgey31but it is a powerful little bugger
04:50:22XavierGrIn fact I will not buy another mp3 player if it isn't supported by Rockbox...
04:50:55Midgey31I haven't gotten to experience rockbox, but I'm pretty sure I'll feel the same once I do
04:51:50Midgey31by the way, isn't it _really_ late/early over in Greece right now?
04:52:22XavierGrvery late, I should sleep in 1 hour and 30 mintues I should be awake...
04:52:38Midgey31I don't think I could ever do that
04:52:58Midgey31I have to get up in 7 hours for class and I'm not looking forward to that...
04:53:00XavierGrnow that you mention it, I don't know if I can too.

10:12:32linuxstbWould anyone be against requiring gcc4 to build the Coldfire version of Rockbox? Switching to it would appear to solve the ICE problems we've been experiencing with libfaad and it also appears to give a noticeable speed improvement (AAC is very very close to realtime when compiled with gcc4).

10:19:56B4gderlike that
10:20:08B4gderI bet most people don't have aac songs anyway
10:24:32linuxstbBecause gcc 3.4.x fails with ICEs in parts of libfaad. e.g. one of preglow's optimisations caused an ICE.
10:24:33preglowhaha'
10:24:34Paul_The_NerdThey're more likely to once the iPod port is done though
10:24:48Paul_The_NerdHave AACs, I mean, B4gder
10:24:58linuxstbSupporting 3.4.x and making full use of gcc 4 would mean #ifdefs
10:25:03ashridahyeah, anyone buying music off itunes potentially has AAC's don't they?
10:25:31ashridahdoes gcc 4 build all currently supported platforms without any detrimental effects?
10:25:35linuxstbBut I think I would propose at least a transitional period where gcc4 is recommended but gcc3 would still work.

10:28:05linuxstbAt the moment it is just one small function in libfaad that would need an #ifdef around it, but it wouldn't surprise me if we hit more ICE problems when working with libfaad - it seems very fragile in that respect.

11:15:46ep0chVorbis@137: GCC3 28-29% boost, GCC4: 34% boost

13:04:40XavierGriPod users were backing their reaons on the database and ease of use
13:05:00XavierGrbut now that it will run rockbox it will be chopped
13:05:03Paul_The_NerdYeah, but neither of those will be consistent with Rockbox.
13:05:09XavierGrno reckording no radio, no to a lot
13:05:11ep0chXavierGr: not really looked at those mp3s much. did you compress them yourself?

13:14:30XavierGrI will use only EAC from now on...
13:15:45Paul_The_NerdDon't they both use LAME for their encoding though?
13:16:23XavierGrwell I had to download lame for both of the programs
13:16:29XavierGrat least latest version
13:16:40XavierGrbut EAC is the sure thing anyway.
13:16:52XavierGrit will copy wav on disc and then encode
13:16:53ep0chXavierGr: was you're original source from CD then?
13:17:03XavierGrand check for errors and f any reports them
13:17:09XavierGryes
13:17:52Paul_The_NerdThe EAC error checking is just to verify the sector reads, it'd prevent skips in the MP3 and such primarily.
13:18:05Paul_The_NerdIt's not likely to fix encoding issues like that if I understand...
13:18:27Paul_The_NerdI do the opposite really... dbPoweramp for OGG lossy, and EAC when I want to make an archival copy of a CD.
13:18:31XavierGryes but still this is very usefull

13:37:42markunI believe that H10 stays in standby mode when you turn it off (just like the ipod) and slowly drains the battery
13:37:49XavierGrevery time I tried to see the playlist viewer the HD would kick in.
13:38:01SlasherXavierGr: Hmm, true. The playlist is a whole separate thing
13:38:22SlasherIt reads part of the playlist file from disk to its own cache
13:38:29korpsePaul_The_Nerd: in terms of what you can actually buy (off the shelf) at the moment, do you think there is anything that beats/competes with the iPod?
13:38:36XavierGrI see no good reason to load names from the disk for the playlist
13:38:53B4gderkorpse: iAudio
13:39:02Paul_The_NerdiAudio X5 is supposed to be pretty impressive.
13:39:23korpsemmm, time to whip out google again :P
13:39:30XavierGrSlasher: Do you think that i caching of playlist happens it will have a major drawback?
13:39:33SlasherI don't exactly know how the playlist works, but for somebody who has worked with it, it might be possible to save the playlist entirely on memory on iriver
13:39:54SlasherXavierGr: i am not sure
13:39:58crwliAudio X5 is really quite cool
13:40:10SlasherIt eats more memory but not sure how much
13:40:17crwlit's mostly like h300, i think, but not so freakin' huge
13:40:22korpseis there an iAudio Rockbox port?
13:40:29B4gderkorpse: there's a start of one
13:40:40B4gderbut no more than so
13:40:48korpseah okay
13:41:08B4gderan opportunity to show off!
13:41:11B4gder:-)
13:41:16korpse?
13:41:19B4gderdo the port
13:41:33preglowbut i'm out

13:48:04korpsewhat is the X5L?
13:48:29crwlwasn't that just a thicker model with larger battery?
13:48:51korpsenot a clue
13:49:00korpsethat could easily be right though
13:49:09korpseis the M5 an older model?
13:50:05korpsecrwl: looks as though that is the case
13:53:32XavierGranyone that knows rockbox thread internals?
13:53:45B4gderwhy?
13:54:05XavierGrI am trying to set up a tsr plugin that will benchmark the battery.
13:54:22ep0chm5 is in fact a newer model
13:54:29ep0chwith less features
13:54:33XavierGrI am on something but it is buggy and I can tell its response, cause my lack of knowledge on the matter
13:54:49korpseep0ch: ah, thank you
13:55:03XavierGr^^can't tell its response
13:55:10B4gderXavierGr: what's your question about the threads then?
13:55:18ep0chand yeah X5L just has a bigger battery if i recall
13:55:59XavierGrok I call a thread after I have set the stack with rb->create_thread and get the id
13:56:33XavierGrwill that run the thread code? or do I have to call the function with the treah explicitly?
13:58:04B4gdercreate_thread() adds a new thread to the chain
13:58:05korpsedoes the iAudio's AC adapter do 110-240v? or should i look for a replacement adapter locally?
13:58:40B4gderkorpse: I don't think you should expect very detailed iAudio knowledge in here
13:59:00XavierGrBagder: and one of the arguments is the threads name (a function) will it run the code too, or do I have to call the function?
13:59:35korpseB4gder: just thought maybe someone owned one
13:59:41B4gderXavierGr: no, it adds that thread to the list of threads and then it will be run in the round-robin fashion all threads are run
14:00
14:00:09korpseB4gder: i know this isn't #audioplayerreviews or whatever, you guys just seem more knowledgeable than anybody else i could ask :)
14:00:16B4gder:-)
14:00:27B4gderkorpse: I'm just saying, I might be proved wrong
14:00:39korpseheh
14:00:50XavierGrhmm got it and what rb->plugin_tsr exaclty does?
14:01:38B4gderregisters a callback
14:02:01B4gderthat will be called when another plugin wants the memory
14:02:16B4gdersince only one plugin can be run at a single moment
14:03:18XavierGrso when a user has started a tsr plugin and then chooses another one, rb->plugin_tsr will run?
14:03:34B4gderthe function you set with plugin_tsr() will be run, yes
14:03:44XavierGrinteresting
14:04:12XavierGrand what if the user selects the tsr plugin that was previously started?
14:04:21B4gderit makes no difference
14:04:41XavierGr(e.g. selects alpine_cdc and the selects it again)
14:04:52B4gderif a plugin is started when a tsr is running, that callback is run before the new plugin is loaded
14:05:16XavierGrso it will just call the tsr function and end the thread?
14:05:54B4gderno
14:06:02B4gderit will call the function
14:06:03XavierGror whatever we program in plugintsr( function)
14:06:03B4gderperiod
14:06:08XavierGryes
14:06:19XavierGrnow I understand
14:06:19B4gderthe ending of thread or whatever is made in the function itself
14:06:34XavierGryes that's what I meant
14:06:34B4gderall this is clearly visible in the alpine_cdc plugin
14:07:04XavierGrwell... not so clear for my inexperianced eyes :(
14:07:12XavierGrbut thanks anyway!
14:07:19B4gderalthough I believe it bugs...
14:07:24XavierGrnow I have a more clear view of it
14:07:38B4gderno, I take that back
14:07:48XavierGrwhat that plugin is for anyway?
14:08:01B4gderits for a cd changer emulation
14:08:47XavierGremulate what exactly, why someone would want this?
14:10:08linuxstbI'm guessing that it is to interface an Archos device running Rockbox with an in-car CD player. I'm sure hardware modifications are needed.
14:10:39XavierGrthat's what I thought but that sounds too specific
14:10:43B4gder"This is a feasibility study for Archos emulating an Alpine M-Bus CD changer."
14:10:51B4gderthis is all mentioned in the source
14:11:21linuxstbYou're right, it is very specific. But it doesn't do any harm to have it in the standard Rockbox.
14:11:24B4gder"You need to make an adapter with an 8-pin DIN plug for the radio..."
14:11:49B4gderand it serves as a good example on how to write a tsr
14:12:05B4gderas it is the only one afaik
14:12:08XavierGrit is the only tsr plugin right?
14:12:54XavierGrrockbox == endless possibilities! :D

14:57:21preglowbut it badly needs some charge, i see

14:57:43preglowlinuxstb: then hip hooray
14:57:54preglowfor that shall be fixed

17:00:51linuxstbThe flash firmware displays the apple logo (without backlight), then reads the contents of the boot partition into RAM, and then jumps to the entry point to transfer control to the program loaded from the boot partition.

17:13:53linuxstbpreglow: The Nano is identified by ipod_hw_ver==0xc in that code.
17:14:01preglowyes, figured
17:14:10FebsYou know, all of the Mistic River H300 fanboys are despondent enough about the fact that the new iPod plays video ...
17:14:23Febsif you get Rockbox running on an iPod before the H300 it could send them over the edge.
17:14:25preglowand better than h3x0 ever will
17:14:40preglowit already _is_ running better on ipod than h3x0 :P
17:14:46preglowthat will last up until linus finishes the bootloader
17:15:02linuxstbpreglow: Looking in init_lcd(), there is no code executed for the nano.... 0x6 is my ipod - the color/photo
17:16:04preglowso i see
17:16:06preglowhmm
17:16:14preglowperhaps i should try the ipodlinux bootloader just for kicks
17:16:27preglowthis would be greatly facilitated by being able to use cvs
17:16:32linuxstbThe ipodlinux bootloader doesn't display anything.
17:16:34Ricker
17:16:41Rickthe nano's lcd is bigger than the standard and mini lcds?
17:16:44linuxstbBut you could try booting the kernel - that will display console messages.
17:17:06preglowlinuxstb: your bootloader is able to do that currently, yes?
17:17:19linuxstbThe Rockbox bootloader will load the kernel for you - find a linux.bin, put it on your FAT32 partition and enable it in my bootloader
17:17:38linuxstbpreglow: Yes - you need to change a #if 0 to enable it.
17:18:25linuxstbGet a kernel here: http://ipodlinux.org/builds/
17:18:37linuxstbGet the very newest one, obviously.

17:32:54preglowi think i can see what's wrong, though
17:33:11linuxstbIt the text OK, or is that garbled as well?
17:33:17pregloweverything
17:33:26preglowand the graphics stops 4/5 at the side of the screen
17:33:33preglowand it seems like the drawing overflows onto the next line
17:33:45preglowso i guess you've just got erronous line lengths somewhere
17:36:37_FireFly_can i assume, if the target has no BITMAP-lcd that there is no remote ??

17:37:43B4gderif you want a remote with lcd, check HAVE_REMOTE_LCD
17:39:57_FireFly_hmm it seams that the dimension of the remote-lcd is on all target(which has an remote width lcd) the same
17:40:19B4gderright now, yes

17:41:07B4gderLCD_REMOTE_WIDTH x LCD_REMOTE_HEIGHT

17:52:29*Mongey| is burning a suse iso now
17:52:48preglowlinuxstb: looking through code now
17:53:15linuxstbThere are obviously two potential problems - the writing into lcd_framebuffer and the lcd_update() function. You could try writing a pattern into lcd_framebuffer to see if that gets displayed properly.

18:05:03linuxstbpreglow: What is weird?
18:05:24preglowi'm trying to see a pattern in how it draws wrong
18:06:09Mongey|i was trying to burn a live cd thing of linux; Suse and i did it wrong cause i dont know what to do
18:06:17preglowfirst, the entire display seems to be shifted
18:06:36preglowi try to write at position zero, and the pixel appears in the middle of the screen
18:07:03_FireFly_funny ;)
18:07:14preglowand the position overflows, when i try to write a straight vertical line, there are several lines spaced by several pixels
18:07:44preglowabout 1/4 of the right part of the screen is missing
18:07:46linuxstbHow are you drawing? Don't use the build-in lcd_???? functions.
18:07:59preglowlinuxstb: i write directly to the framebuffer
18:08:40preglowfor (i = 0; i < LCD_HEIGHT; ++i) { lcd_framebuffer[i][0] = 0xff; lcd_framebuffer[i][1] = 0xff; }
18:08:43preglowthen update
18:08:48Mongey|Anyone know what ive to burn on for the live cd
18:08:53 Nick ender1 is now known as ender` (i=ychat@84.52.165.220)
18:09:00preglowi shouldn't use update?
18:09:31linuxstbYes - use lcd_update(). But most of the other functions are not implemented yet. Only the ones used by the font rendering
18:09:45preglowfigured that

18:11:59linuxstbDoes lcd_clear_display() followed by lcd_update() display correctly? You should get a screen full of blue.
18:12:31preglowentire screen is init to blue before i start drawing at least
18:13:47_FireFly_btw. about slash and back-slash http://www.techtales.com/ttales0705.html#tale41 ;)
18:16:07linuxstbThis could be related to the old problem I used to have where the screen would be corrupted for no apparent reason. Changing unrelated code in the bootloader would fix it.
18:16:36linuxstbI suddenly stopped experiencing this, but I never did find out the real reason.
18:17:00linuxstbI think I talked about it here a few weeks ago.
18:17:01preglowyou don't remember the nature of the corruption?
18:17:37linuxstbRows of pixels seemed to be duplicated - i.e. displaying in their proper position, and then again about 4 rows further down.
18:18:23preglowthis might perhaps look like that
18:18:34preglowi would take a photo, but i'm in linux, and my camera needs a windows program :/
18:18:43linuxstbgphoto2 ?
18:19:00linuxstbIs it debian?
18:19:07preglowubuntu
18:19:19preglowbut my camera uses some proprietary transfer stuff
18:19:45preglowwell, there you go
18:19:48preglowit supports my camera :P
18:19:50linuxstbJust try making the bootloader do different things - comment out some of the lcd_puts and sprintf lines.

18:26:12 Quit ender` (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
18:26:13_FireFly_maybe the framebuffer doesn't cover the whole screen-width
18:26:18preglowit does
18:26:58_FireFly_it doesn't seams that :)
18:26:59korpsethere is some shape
18:27:02linuxstbCan you compare the update() functions in fb.c from IPL and in Rockbox. Hopefully the mistake is there.
18:27:14preglowtry some other stuff first
18:27:24preglowipl update does the same thing for photo and nano
18:27:33preglowso i don't see why it shouldn't work for me if it works for you
18:28:02linuxstbThat's assuming that lcd_type is correctly set to 1 (it should be). You could try manually setting lcd_type=1 somewhere in lcd-16bit.c
18:28:07preglowi tried that
18:28:09preglowdidn't work
18:28:26preglowin the code where you set lcd_type, i just edited all the lines to say lcd_type = 1
18:28:27_FireFly_is the screen-width of the photo bigger or the same as the nano ??
18:28:47linuxstbpreglow: But I think that code is only compiled for the color/photo
18:28:55preglowright
18:29:03_FireFly_or the 1/4 smaller ??
18:29:06preglowin that case lcd_type should be set to 1 anyway
18:29:15linuxstb_should be_
18:29:47linuxstb_FireFly_: From memory, color/photo is 220x176, the Nano is 176x132

18:36:14preglowspill it
18:36:33linuxstbLook in fb.c - the ipod_update_photo() function.
18:37:00linuxstbThe code to calculate the drawing region is different for the Nano - but I didn't copy that code.
18:37:15preglowhaha
18:37:16preglowsmall wonder, then
18:37:18preglowi'll deal with it

18:38:18linuxstbLet me just check the rest of that function.
18:39:22linuxstbYes - there's another check later in that function for ipod_hw_ver==0x6 which I've removed.

19:01:56_FireFly_what about my question about the two functions any comments ??
19:02:14Mindship-02is it developped purely by educated programmers or too by hobby-ing people?

19:03:50_FireFly_i'm currently studying "Informatik" computer-science :)

19:04:57Mindship-02Since I have this device two more persons bought it. I want everyone to know which one is mine...
19:05:01hardeep_FireFly_: Yeah, that's not correct. Both those functions should be in audio.h just like audio_next_track()

19:05:47hardeepTiMiD: I was going to look into it but didn't want to duplicate the work if you're already working on it =)
19:05:53_FireFly_afaik
19:05:58linuxstbMindship-02: I don't think so. On the iriver, changing the bootloader is very dangerous - so it's not likely to have any "luxury" features like that one.
19:06:00TiMiDI'm doing it yes
19:06:05hardeepokay, cool
19:06:09TiMiDare you the one who wrote the code ?

19:06:15hardeepyeah

19:06:31hardeep?
19:06:50preglowdinnertime
19:06:52TiMiDJust that I have some problems to understant exactly how it works ...
19:07:15Mindship-02linuxstb: is it dangerous to compile the bootloader? somewhere the Rockbox splash must be coded in!
19:07:41LinusNthe splash isn't in the boot loader
19:07:46TiMiDwhy to store 2 lists in the same array for example (If I understand correctly)
19:07:47hardeepTiMiD: anything I can help with?
19:08:03hardeep2 lists?
19:08:16Mindship-02LinusN: so what about the words of linuxstb?
19:08:25linuxstbMindship-02: Ignore my answer. The Rockbox splash is displayed by Rockbox itself, not the bootloader. So yes, in theory that screen could be easily changed to display anything.
19:08:35linuxstbMindship-02: I was wrong.
19:08:51TiMiDI mean the first_index
19:09:05Mindship-02ah, now it went from "not likely" to "easily"!
19:09:06TiMiDmut maybe I didn't understood it at all
19:09:21hardeepdo you mean the first index versus first display index?
19:09:54TiMiDno
19:10:04TiMiDjust the first index
19:10:08linuxstbMindship-02: But it still needs a developer to do it, and it might not be considered an acceptable patch for general Rockbox use.
19:10:13TiMiDI don't understand at all :/
19:10:54Mindship-02linuxstb: how are you with your time, feel like guiding (teaching) me with this little project? :-P
19:10:55hardeepthe first index in the viewer is used to identify the first entry in the playlist that's currently loaded in the viewer
19:11:10_FireFly_hardeep: i have moved the two function definition to audio.h i
19:11:16hardeepthe viewer doesn't load the entire playlist to save memory
19:11:40TiMiDand the rest of the playlist is stored where ?
19:11:42hardeepwhenever we go beyond the first or end index, we load more information
19:11:43_FireFly_so i have a problem less to worry about it by my try to make a wps-widget ;)
19:11:53linuxstbMindship-02: Feel free to ask questions here. Most of the time somebody will answer.
19:12:06hardeepwe get all the info from the playlist code (playlist.c)
19:12:25LinusNMindship-02: begin with setting up a development environment
19:12:53Mindship-02LinusN: any example DevEnv-s?
19:13:03hardeephowever, the actual track names are stored on disk and we only read on demand (the playlist code saves the seek point in it's table)
19:13:21LinusNMindship-02: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DevelopmentGuide
19:13:42TiMiDso each time you move inside your list, you read from disk oO
19:14:00TiMiDor is the entire playlist loaded into memory ?
19:14:03hardeepeach time you go beyond what's loaded
19:14:08TiMiDok
19:14:15TiMiDI understand
19:14:23hardeepwe limit the amount we load to a max of 200 entries or when the buffer is full
19:14:47TiMiDI wouldn't have understood that by myself :)
19:14:51*amiconn appears, reading up logs...
19:14:57Mindship-02LinusN: Thanks for the link, I'll study that first! :-)
19:15:02hardeepon the archos devices we don't have enough memory to cache all the playlist track names in memory
19:15:18hardeepon the iriver it may be possible
19:15:21TiMiDI wrote some code, it seems to work, excepted for some things like remove :/
19:15:52hardeepwhat happens with remove?
19:16:10TiMiDstrange things :)
19:16:14hardeepto the viewer, remove is just a call to the playlist code to remove the file... after which we just need to update the display
19:16:25TiMiDto remove the file ?
19:16:33hardeepfrom the playlist
19:16:36TiMiDI thought it was just to remove the entry in the playlist

19:20:22TiMiDyou could have done it in one fn no ?
19:20:36TiMiDjust loading from pos-200 or pos
19:21:07hardeepexcept if we are unable to load 200 tracks
19:21:16hardeepsay the buffer can only hold 100
19:21:22hardeepit depends on the size of the track names
19:21:52_FireFly_maybe this kind of offset could be calculated
19:21:56TiMiDmore complicated than I expected
19:22:26hardeep_FireFly_: not without actually reading the track names =)

19:22:31_FireFly_ok
19:23:26TiMiDI will try to do it now since I have more informations
19:23:27_FireFly_but how do you get the right parameter for the two function??
19:24:21hardeepwhich two functions?
19:24:33_FireFly_load_playlist_entries and load_playlist_entries_r ;)
19:25:18hardeepif you're scrolling down the list then we use load_playlist_entries() and pass the first track currently displayed
19:25:36hardeepif you're scrolling up then we use load_playlist_entries_r() and use the last track currently being displayed
19:25:46_FireFly_maybe we could join these two function to one with two parameters the secend could tell the function if the value of the first parameter gives the start index or the end index
19:27:05hardeepit's possible to join the two together, it just seemed easier to keep them separate
19:27:24amiconnMaybe a parameter that indicates the search direction?
19:27:34_FireFly_that was my secend parameter ;)
19:27:35TiMiDI think I will rewrite some code here since now there isn't drawings, some fn looks a little useless
19:37:43preglowoh well
19:37:51preglowlinuxstb: what's next on your list+
19:39:26linuxstbA proper interrupt-driven button driver and also implementing current_tick via a timer interrupt.
19:39:32linuxstbi.e. interrupts :)
19:39:50linuxstbBut this is something I'm not very familiar with.
19:40:48linuxstbThe other big jobs before Rockbox itself is anywhere near bootable is thread context switching and writing the startup code for crt0.S
19:41:24linuxstbOnce those are working, Rockbox should be close to working.
19:43:00preglowthread context switching should be pretty easy
19:43:02linuxstbThere is some basic button detection code in the ipodlinux bootloader, but when I tried it a while ago, it wasn't very reliable at detecting a keypress on startup.
19:43:22linuxstbThe button driver from the kernel is the place to take the code from.
19:43:42linuxstbHow is your knowledge of ARM assembler?
19:44:17linuxstbThere should hopefully be a #warning in all the places we need to write code.
19:45:19preglowmy knowledge of arm assembler is ok, but far from complete
19:45:26preglowhoping to improve, though
19:48:54linuxstbMy knowledge is still almost zero.
19:51:22linuxstbDo you have any plans?

20:28:29amiconn_FireFly_: You can't assume whether the remote has an lcd or not based on what the main lcd is
20:29:24amiconnThe archos remote has no lcd, and is usable for both the player (charcell main lcd) and recorder v1 (bitmap lcd)
20:31:34_FireFly_k but the code for the remote standard wps have i ifdefed with checking NB_SCREENS = 2 so in this case i can assume that the lcd in the remote is a bitmap one ;)
20:32:01_FireFly_because my search on the <target>-config.h showed me that when a remote-lcd exist then it is a bitmap one
20:36:11amiconnI would use #ifdef HAVE_REMOTE_LCD
20:36:27amiconnBut yes, all (current) remote lcds are bitmapped
20:37:11amiconnIn fact there is only one remote lcd type so far, so there is no CONFIG_REMOTE_LCD

20:56:12amiconnTiMiD: I found a way how to make the binary smaller on all platforms where NB_SCREENS == 1
20:56:14***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
20:56:31TiMiD#ifdef instead of for ?
20:57:44amiconnUsing #ifdefs everywhere will probably be rather ugly, I have a better suggestion instead :)
20:58:00preglowFebs: what post would that be? i can't find any numbering
20:58:29amiconnA macro like FOR_ALL_SCREENS(i) , i.e. taking the loop variable as an argument.
20:58:41amiconnFor NB_SCREENS > 1, it would expand to:
20:58:53amiconnfor (i = 0; i < NB_SCREENS; i++)
20:59:12amiconnbut when NB_SCREENS == 1, it would simply expand to:
20:59:16amiconni = 0;
20:59:35amiconnSimple and elegant, imho
21:00
21:01:18amiconnI tried this replacement (manually) in one single place - it saved 48 bytes on archos.
21:01:42amiconnNow, how many occurences of for (i = 0; i < NB_SCREENS; i++) are there in your code? :)

Also you metnion that 200 entries are stored on ram, in my test yesterady I remember disk activity every time I entered the playlist viewer...

21:45:21XavierGralso yesterday I intentionally made my player to play as long as it could reaching a 2.73V level, isn't that exhasting for the battery?
21:45:36XavierGrwhat is the limit for li-ion?
21:45:45hardeepXavierGr: Yeah, that happens because we need to read the playlist to get the tracknames
21:45:56 Part manuPsi
21:46:37XavierGrso unless we get to the viewer nothing is stored on ram, right?
21:46:44hardeepright
21:46:55hardeepand it's cleared as soon as we exit the viewer
21:47:11hardeep(we share the buffer with the plugins)
21:47:20XavierGroh...
21:47:58XavierGrthat could be a problem if I tried to change that for my self.
21:49:22hardeepyeah =) the purpose of the 200-track cache in the viewer is just to avoid constantly accessing the disk while in the viewer. there's no global place where track names are stored in memory except when you're playing from disk
21:49:55hardeepi guess we could try and use the in_ram buffer for caching as much as we can
21:50:42XavierGrthat would be very good IMHO, I think that rockbox should ty to prevent any sort of disk activity more than once
21:51:04XavierGrbut if this trend continues I can understand that we will run out of buffer for theaudio
21:51:31XavierGrat least it is safe and doable for targets that have large ram.

22:02:55amiconnhardeep: Hmm, some questions and thoughts:
22:04:00amiconn(1) If the playlist viewer uses the plugin ram to buffer track names, would it be possible to just extend the maximum line count in the buffer? The plugin buffer is 768KB instead of 32KB
22:04:05amiconn...on iriver
22:05:24amiconn(2) Does the playlist viewer pfn_tsr_callback() before using the buffer? Otherwise rockbox might crash badly if a tsr plugin is active and the playlist viewer is called
22:06:01amiconnpfn_tsr_exit() I mean

22:11:03hardeepamiconn: 1. yeah, this is definitely doable. I'm going to look into this
22:11:44hardeep2. didn't know about this. will fix this
22:17:18hardeepfor 2, i guess we'll need to add a new api to the plugin code to force a tsr to exit
22:22:48amiconnThat's exactly what this callback is for
22:23:25amiconnA tsr plugin calls plugin_tsr() to register this callback before returning
22:23:39amiconnThe plugin loader calls it before loading a new plugin
22:24:31amiconnThis mechanism was implemented by [IDC]Dragon. I'm sure he would have added this handling to the playlist viewer code as well - if he would have known that the playlist viewer reuses the plugin buffer
22:24:58amiconnI didn't know this as well until today...
22:25:35amiconnTiMiD?
22:30:27hardeepyeah, the playlist viewer is the only non-plugin that makes use of the plugin buffer so it's easy to miss
22:30:57XavierGrwhy not change that?
22:31:10XavierGrwhy not use the same memory as the dircache?
22:31:22hardeepa couple of reasons
22:31:29hardeep1. there is no dircache on the archos devices
22:31:46hardeep2. this would overwrite the dircache
22:31:55hardeepactually, maybe 2 isn't an issue
22:32:03XavierGr1 is an issue though
22:32:10hardeepyup

22:34:52amiconnBut thinking about it this would mean that using the playlist viewer would stop battery logging
22:35:03XavierGryes indeed.
22:35:24XavierGrbut anyway if a true benchmark is done the playlist viewer shouldn't be loaded.
22:35:44XavierGr(by the user)
22:35:45amiconnXavierGr: Not yet, but it should be quite easy, perhaps except the part that monitors disk activity and takes the chance to flush the log when the disk is spinning
22:35:59XavierGryes that my concern
22:36:10XavierGrtoday I manged to set the thread correctly
22:36:12hardeepactually, instead of killing the tsr, we just need to make sure the plugin buffer size doesn't get reset to 0
22:36:12amiconnI also did some tsr experiments in the past
22:36:29XavierGrbut right now the thread is empty and I need to think something for it
22:36:36hardeepthen the playlist viewer will only be using the buffer not being used by the tsr

23:13:43_FireFly_??
23:14:20amiconnXavierGr: I'm not sure whether tsr plugins will work in the sim. Nobody tried that so far
23:14:21XavierGrI mean when I test my stuff...
23:14:49XavierGramiconn and emoty thread that just exits works like a charm
23:15:00_FireFly_i think I0C is a segmentation fault am i right ??
23:15:06linuxstbpreglow: The keypad is going to be interesting. If we keep the scrollwheel functionality, then we only have up/down (or left/right - but not at the same time), and the MENU/NEXT/PREV/PLAY keys
23:15:13XavierGrbut in my previous attempt a while loop will run for some time and then eventually crash
23:15:22XavierGrbut maybe I have something wrong there.
23:15:25amiconnA thread function should never ever exit the normal way
23:15:39amiconnThis will confuse the rockbox scheduler
23:15:51XavierGryes this was a test to see what made the sim crash
23:15:51preglowlinuxstb: i think we need to define another set of keys
23:15:58preglowlinuxstb: just called BUTTON_INC, BUTTON_DEC or something
23:16:21preglowlinuxstb: which every key handler can handle as fits best to the context
23:16:58preglowand we can alias those onto existing keys for platforms that don't have them, so we don't waste any space on those
23:17:03linuxstbSounds good.
23:17:20XavierGramiconn: actually it is a thread with a while that in the first run calls gTread.exiting and the exits the thread.
23:17:21preglowbut i need some input from gurus on this, i really have _no_ idea aboyt how these parts of rockbox work
23:17:27preglowlinuxstb: i think i should also be able to handle threading
23:18:28amiconnWhy invent new button definitions? Do the ipods have ordinary up/down buttons in addition to th ewheel?
23:18:46amiconnOtherwise the wheel could just use BUTTON_UP/BUTTON_DOWN
23:19:12amiconnIt would be possible to use different names, but this will mean more #ifdefs in the code
23:19:12preglowamiconn: no
23:19:31preglowamiconn: yes, but the wheel might mean left/right in one screen and up/down in another
23:19:38amiconnYes, and?
23:19:38preglowamiconn: it depends on context what they should mean
23:19:53amiconnBUTTON_LEFT/BUTTON_RIGHT would be undefined
23:20:03preglowriight
23:20:10preglowi keep forgetting this is done per platform
23:20:20amiconn...and most major places use button aliases
23:20:23preglowbut it pretty much has to
23:20:24preglowyes
23:20:36amiconn#define TREE_UP BUTTON_UP
23:20:48amiconn...depending on the keypad

23:26:39XavierGractually amiconn I think you were right
23:27:01linuxstbI haven't tried it yet, but the Shorten patch looks good.
23:28:26XavierGrSim does not accept a thread that will run together with other threads
23:28:49XavierGrI just test it on target and it handled quite well an the new thread.
23:29:00XavierGrr/an
23:30:22amiconnlinuxstb: Hmm, it seems a general FOR_LOOP macro isn't possible :(
23:31:09amiconnIt would require preprocessor conditionals within the macro body. Afaik this doesn't work
23:32:53preglowsure?
23:33:05preglowi think the preprocessor does several passes
23:33:11preglowbut that might just be for macro expansion
23:33:41Bagderyou could also simply do #ifdef define macro #else define macro #endif
23:33:51Bagderinstead of the other way around
23:34:06amiconnNot for linuxstb's idea
23:34:16Bagderok
23:34:23Bagderdidn't pay attention to the details
23:34:23amiconnThe macro body would have to depend on the macro arguments
23:34:39amiconnThe idea was to have FOR_LOOP(a, b, c)
23:35:00preglowlinuxstb: what do you think about just renaming it to libffmpeg?
23:35:16amiconnwhich should expand to for(a = b; a < c; a++) if c - b > 1
23:35:28preglowthat wont work, no
23:35:32amiconnand simply to a = b; if c - b == 1
23:35:48linuxstbpreglow: It would be nice to rename it, but it makes a mess in CVS.
23:35:57preglowBagder: subversion!
23:36:08*Bagder ducks
23:36:14amiconnThe simple idea works
23:36:38amiconnBagder: The original idea is to reduce code size for platforms with NB_SCREENS == 1
23:37:26linuxstbThere is one side-effect of not running a for loop - i will be equal to 0 at the end of the loop, not equal to NB_SCREENS.
23:37:29amiconnI regained 896 bytes on archos recorder
23:37:53preglowlinuxstb: i think i'll just start filling in the lcd driver blanks
23:38:09amiconnI think I should commit it
23:38:50linuxstbpreglow: OK. Linus seems to be wanting to use lcd-16bit.c for the H3x0. So he suggested moving the ipod specific parts into lcd-ipod.c
23:39:02preglowso do i
23:39:23linuxstbSo you could do that - it will only be 2 or 3 functions in lcd-ipod.c
23:42:57 Quit ehntoo (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:43:24linuxstbWe should probably do the same with lcd-h100.c at some point. i.e. move all the generic code to lcd-2bit.c and only keep the low-level stuff in lcd-h100.c We could then quite easily add support for the 4G b/w ipods.
23:44:10amiconnYes, and lcd-recorder.c could be split in lcd-1bit.c and lcd-gmini100.c
23:44:31linuxstbExactly.
23:44:35amiconnparts of the recorder and h100 lcd code are in lcd.S though
23:45:06linuxstbIs that "low" or "high" level code? Or both?
23:45:28amiconnVery low level - the data and command transfer routines
23:45:53amiconnlcd.S is also used for the player
23:46:22linuxstbThat shouldn't be a problem. Just means those LCDs require 3 files in SOURCES
23:47:36linuxstbThis is all assuming that the framebuffers should be organised the same for all LCDs with the same bitdepth
23:48:19preglowi can't think why not
23:48:26amiconnThat's not sure
23:49:12preglowBagder, Zagor: thanks for letting me have an ipod, btw, appreciated! :>
23:49:13amiconnThe 1 and 2 bit lcds we encountered so far use the same organisation, but I know that the gmini 2xx lcd controller (4bit grey) is different
23:49:39linuxstbBut that's 4-bit - so it must be different.
23:49:42Bagderpreglow: that thank is really to the donors, not us
23:49:55preglowBagder: i know, but the planning is up to you
23:50:03*preglow thanks the donors
23:50:12Bagderwe know you do lots of goodness
23:50:21amiconnlinuxstb: Yes, but that's not what I mean. Our 1bit and 2bit lcd use pixel "line blocks", with the bytes within the block oriented vertically
23:50:28preglowlet's hope it extends to ipod as well
23:51:13amiconnThe gmini 2xx controller uses horizontal orientation.
23:52:35amiconnOtoh, the gmini 1xx uses the same orientation as the recorder, and also the h1x0 remote lcd

23:54:04XavierGrin some years we will hold methanol bottles instead of water...
23:54:10linuxstbamiconn: Yes, but so far it's not a problem. I'll try and find out what the ipod greyscale LCD is like.

23:57:27XavierGrwtf according to the spec a bottle of water fulled with methanol will provide 375 days of continuous usage!
23:58:34_FireFly_??
23:58:59linuxstbMmm. I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like the ipod 2-bit LCD organises data horizontally.
