#rockbox log for 2005-11-13

00:02:01XShocKnot expensive at all.
00:02:23XShocKactually to be exact, making wakeup will be much harder.
00:02:37lokkihmmm
00:02:49lokkianyhow, a calendar and a clock
00:02:55lokkithats just amazing
00:03:11XShocKjust regular clock+calendar is just an RTC chip, capacitor(you can actually ommit it too), resistor.
00:03:37XShocKmaxim.com actually even send free samples of their RTCs.
00:04:49XShocKto make wakeup you will also need progmrammable counter, another chip.
00:05:10lokkiwhich will probably not fit into the case
00:05:43XShocKnot really. rtc is a 4 pin, 2 by 2 mm chip. counter is also pretty mauch the same size.
00:05:51XShocKrtc is a 8 pin ...
00:06:31XShocKyou also need a 32.768khz quartz
00:06:45lokkiok
00:09:30amiconnXShocK: Many rtc chips have an alarm function
00:11:07XShocKtrue. ijust used the one that don't :)
00:11:58XShocKsince i don't really need alarm,but will probably alter it to have it anyway, will change chip..
00:16:50 Quit lokki ("CGI:IRC")
00:16:53XavierGrand how the clock stores the time, when the unit shuts down?
00:17:15XavierGrDoesn't it need a battery?
00:18:04XavierGror it will draw power for its need from the main battery?
00:18:29XavierGrand what current consumption does it have, if it draws power from mains?
00:18:31XShocKyes. it draws power from main battery
00:19:15XShocKwhen main 3.3 volts are disconnected, it switch directly to battery and turns into lower consumption mode.
00:19:20XavierGrI mean, will it have a major difference in battery consumption?
00:19:31XavierGrwhich is?
00:19:59XShocKi actually couldn't measure power, my ,multimeter somehow measured 0. :) while i crearly saw a since wave on the quartz which meant it was working.
00:20:15XavierGrit must be lower than 1-2mA to say that it will not make a difference
00:20:27XavierGrI guess I am not sure
00:20:36XavierGranyway have to eat now
00:21:03XavierGrPlaese make a wiki tutorial on how to do it, I am very interested into this. Please.....
00:21:14XShocKit is 100microampere
00:21:53XavierGrthen great
00:22:27XShocKhmm.. it is actually even less. 800-1200nA

00:23:06XShocK100microA is a standby current. 800-1200nA is on BACKUP battery
00:27:27XShocK0.0008 mA looks really scary. :)
00:28:44amiconnThe RTC chip used in the archos recorders has a backup battery current of < 500nA
00:31:53XShocKI liked that Tektronix TDS2024 osciloscope so much...
00:32:53amiconnlinuxstb: This rrockbox devkit uses a stone-age sh-elf-gcc ...

00:40:29amiconnok
00:41:43linuxstbIPL still use 2.95 for the kernel, so I have no idea if 3.4.4 is the best choice. I just decided to try the newest version (ignoring gcc4)
00:42:07amiconnYeah, rockbox code isn't really up to be build under gcc 4

01:16:59tucozHi, I had not updated rockbox for some time and just notice that the shut down splash is now not gray scale anymore? is this intended?

01:23:53tucozI just thought that the amount of commits made recently may have caused this.
01:29:14tucozAnyway, it is all the splashes. I just thought I mention it in case it is an unwanted behaviour.
01:32:28linuxstb_tucoz: Yes, I think I caused that with one of my commits. It was not intended.
01:34:54tucozok, seems like the ipod port is moving in the right directon though
01:35:37tucozNice work. Btw, I had a look at a friends nano the other day. Have to say that it is pretty mp3-player
01:35:50tucoz*a
01:36:04tucozgood night
01:36:06 Part tucoz ("Leaving")
01:40:57 Quit paugh ("whoops")
01:43:11amiconnlinuxstb: Turns out this splash() background problem was indeed introduced by one of your commits - but due to my wrong hint :-(
01:43:46linuxstb_I realised that.
01:43:49amiconnOnly the old splashes are affected
01:44:28amiconnObviously I didn't look closely enough. LCD_MAX_LEVEL-1 != LCD_WHITE ...
01:44:32linuxstb_But the old code - using LCD_MAX_RED-1 for example wasn't very intuitive.
01:44:52linuxstb_I mistakenly read that as being the maximum...
01:45:05amiconnYes, even the -1 isn't intuitive. It only works nicely for 2bit greyscale
01:45:35amiconnFor higher depths -1 would only give a very faint effect
01:46:02amiconn(2*LCD_MAX_LEVEL/3) would be more appropriate
01:46:31linuxstb_The plugins use that in some places.
01:46:42amiconn...but for colour lcd, maybe a coloured background would be even better?
01:47:29linuxstb_For the colour LCDs, I think we'll need some kind of (user-configurable) colour scheme. But I'm happy to ignore that for now.
01:48:00amiconnHmm.
01:48:45amiconnSupport for custom colours (and greyscales) needs some work in the scrolling functions
01:54:59linuxstb_So should I define LCD_LIGHTGRAY and LCD_DARKGRAY in lcd.h and just use those for now?

08:20:08ashridahi doubt the H300 would even accept the H100 firmware
08:20:23ashridahbut the LCD and probably other components are different

09:36:34amiconnI think there are 2 reasons why the battery lasted so long: The hdd was spinning but not accessed, it auto-parked the heads and that lowers power consumption. And the cpu ran at 11 MHz.

12:58:28linuxstbep0ch|: Those are just the plugins - see the results of the next build.
12:58:45ep0ch|goodjob
12:58:50linuxstbIt's just because there are no button mappings defined for each plugins.
12:58:57linuxstbSo I've disabled the plugin building for now.
12:59:11ep0ch|so how far does booting get?
12:59:49linuxstbThe bootloader works (booting either ipodlinux or the Apple firmware). But there is not yet a functional Rockbox for it to load.

13:02:56ep0ch|ipod have two cpus right? do you think rockbox will need much work to utilise both cpus?
13:04:29linuxstbI think we would just use one CPU for the codecs, and one for everything else. So it shouldn't be too hard - the codecs already run in their own thread.
13:04:56LinusNdo we know how to communicate between the cpu:s?
13:05:46linuxstbI don't, but the IPL people do - they've got both CPUs working. I would also expect it to be documented in standard ARM documentation as well.

13:26:09linuxstbI mentioned this yesterday, but the last two warnings in the iPod builds are actually bugs. Someone familiar with databox should try and fix them (values in the range -1 to 130 being stored in a char). Only the arm compiler gives a warning because chars are unsigned by default on that platform, but it's a problem with signed chars as well.

13:41:13_FireFly_k
13:42:37_FireFly_the problem was i had made the diff with "cvs diff" but due the anonymouse checkout of the tree i can't add my files to the tree so i had made a zip
13:43:04_FireFly_the current filename-sheme of my patch might be not the best
13:43:31LinusNthe "g" in gwps.c might not be necessary
13:45:07_FireFly_i will change it
13:45:26_FireFly_any other suggestions ??
13:46:26LinusNnot yet, will have a look
13:46:58LinusNbasically, you've moved the wps code to a "widget", so it can have two instances?
13:47:33_FireFly_with a few changes yes i think
13:48:22_FireFly_currently some functions uses the gui_sync* function of other widgets
13:50:13LinusNnitpick: if(!wps_data || !buf) return false;
13:50:22LinusNbreak that into two lines
13:50:38_FireFly_why ??
13:50:55LinusNeasier to read imho
13:51:45thegeek_LinusN : thanks for the connector, it works good, but I found out that the actual problem was not the connector, it was the two small resistors on the ground channel
13:51:54thegeek_L5 and L6
13:52:05thegeek_;)
13:52:40LinusNaha, so it works now?
13:52:45thegeek_well
13:52:52thegeek_it worked great last night
13:53:00thegeek_however, I think my harddrive is failing
13:53:10thegeek_I've been getting ata -35 errors for some time now
13:53:25thegeek_and it seems my little operation has made it worse
13:53:41_FireFly_LinusN: if i change gwps.h to wps.h then which header(this file or the file in apps/ ) is matched first is wps.h is included
13:53:41LinusNit might not be the hard drive after all
13:53:49thegeek_very true
13:54:03LinusN_FireFly_: aaaah, didn't think of that
13:54:31_FireFly_:)
13:54:43LinusNthegeek_: does it work better if you push the ata daughterboard together with the mainboard?
13:54:55thegeek_but when I hear the hardrive spin up, when it fails I have a "click"
13:54:55thegeek_hmm
13:54:57thegeek_let me check
13:55:28thegeek_heh
13:55:33thegeek_it worked
13:55:51LinusNthen you have a problem with the connector between the boards
13:55:59thegeek_I just squeezed right over the connector to the harddrive

13:56:45thegeek_is it fixable?
13:56:55LinusNyes, but it takes quite some soldering skills

14:06:31SlasheriNext step would be to change the initial reset vector to replace the primary boot loader

14:12:04thegeek_thanks for all the help LinusN:)
14:12:26webguest65what does it need to play realtime?
14:12:45LinusNSlasheri: i had no idea that you could erase from 0x08, i thought you had to erase the entire sector
14:13:20SlasheriLinusN: yes, i had to erase entire section but i have a safe guard in the code that immediately after the erase replaces the reset vectors
14:14:13 Nick ender1 is now known as ender` (i=ychat@84.52.165.220)
14:14:20SlasheriLinusN: when the only bootloader would be at 0x8, user could in future safely upgrade the rockbox because flashing wouldn't touch any cricital sectors
14:15:34LinusNso you have two boot loaders, one primary and one secondary?
14:15:43Slasheriyes :)
14:15:56Slasheriand i haven't touched the primary bootloader at all
14:16:09Slasherii just press rec+play when i want to test my boot loader
14:16:27Slasheri(the secondary bootloader is almost same as primary, only a few little modifications)
14:17:46SlasheriLinusN: now the secondary boot loader seems to work well but i am afraid to change the reset address to that bootloader.. If it fails, i could no longer boot at all
14:20:14SlasheriLinusN: btw, do you think it would be a very bad idea to save settings to the last sector in flash? (that would require erase cycle after 8 save cycles). I am going to try if that could give any decrease on boot time
14:21:52LinusNSlasheri: i wouldn't want to write to the flash more than necessary
14:23:26ep0ch|you know those 128 bytes that are available to store settings with...
14:23:27Slasheriok, that would then probably be a bad thing to do
14:23:45Slasheriep0ch|: those are not enough :/
14:23:50ep0ch|could it be possible just to save the frequently changed settings in there
14:24:03ep0ch|like volume, etc
14:24:25ep0ch|that would save writing to the disk on shutdown on quite a few occasions
14:24:55LinusNthe settings are saved whenever the disk spins up
14:26:07ep0ch|i thought the hardisk always spun up on shutdown to write the settings
14:29:08LinusNnope, only if the settings have changed since the last spinup
14:30:16ep0ch|well, i just checked, i started up rockbox waited for the cache check to finish and spin down. Then switched off, the HD spun up and did something.

15:59:41Moos_FireFly_: have you speak with TiMiD about your new patch?
16:00
16:00:08LinusNSlasheri: "enter usb mode"? why?
16:00:09_FireFly_yepp he has given some suggestions about it :)
16:00:22Moos:)
16:00:26_FireFly_TiMiD are u here ??
16:00:31Mooshe like your patch?
16:00:53SlasheriLinusN: that is not probably necessary, i will figure it out later :) of course it would enter usb mode automatically also if it detects usb
16:01:03Slasheribut it could give user an option not the enter the mode
16:01:10Slasheriwith a little timeout for example
16:01:14LinusNand what would B) be?
16:01:23_FireFly_i don't know becuase i didn't said something about the current version of my patch but LinusN seams to like it
16:01:31Slasheriit would do the normal flash boot
16:01:32_FireFly_he didn*t
16:01:49Moos_FireFly_: mk
16:01:49SlasheriE) would be for debugging and developers
16:01:57Slasheriit would allow to run code from any address
16:02:02LinusNSlasheri: i think it should be on anither button
16:02:19SlasheriLinusN: Hmm, the failsafe menu?
16:02:33LinusNit would be so cumbersome to boot the original for those who still do that
16:02:35Slashericurrently i have put it to hold switch
16:02:56SlasheriLinusN: that bootloader would be available only when rockbox is flashed..
16:03:05LinusNah
16:03:11Slasheriso it wouldn't be possible to boot original firmware with that bootloader at all
16:03:21Slasheriunless rolo could do that in future
16:03:27Mooswe don't need it :)
16:03:35LinusNok, so rombox needs a different primary boot loader
16:03:42Slasheriyes
16:03:56LinusNthe i don't mind the rec button
16:03:59LinusNthen
16:04:09Slasherithat is mainly patched original bootloader with ifdefs
16:04:18Slasheriah, ok :)
16:05:08LinusNi guess two options would be enough: "boot from disk" and "boot from address"
16:05:20Slasherihmm, true
16:05:27Slasheriand maybe also the reset settings
16:05:29Moossounds very good
16:11:56LinusNi think the settings reset should be in rockbox itself and not in the boot loader
16:12:47LinusNthe boot loader should be as dumb as possible
16:13:31SlasheriHmm, yes. But somehow it would be good if user could reset the settings before rockbox is fully booted. Either from bootloader or rockbox itself
16:14:21LinusNyes i fully agree with that, but not in the boot loader
16:15:35SlasheriWhat about giving bootloader a number or something like that, which would be passed to rockbox when it's booting?
16:15:47Slasherithen it could do some things depending on that value from bootloader
16:17:24LinusNsounds complicated
16:17:43LinusNthen you have to update the bootloader if you add new startup features
16:17:53Slasherino
16:18:05Slasheriuser could enter any value from bootloader, and rockbox would interpret it
16:18:14Slasherisomething like a linux bootloader :)
16:18:24LinusNwhy from the boot loader? i don't get it
16:18:25Slasheriwhere kernel interprets the boot options
16:19:13SlasheriHmm.. if we have a menu there, it would be easy to read the value in the failsafe mode. Of course that would not be the best way for user
16:19:33LinusNespecially since the non-rom bootloader doesn't have that menu
16:19:38Slasheritrue..
16:19:57LinusNi wast to keep the bootloader functionality to a minimum
16:20:02LinusNwant
16:21:12Slasherihmm, then rockbox could check some button values or implement own menu there. I really don't know what would be the best choice :)
16:26:32LinusNthe best choice is obviously to do it in rockbox
16:26:49LinusNso you can extend that menu without having to reflash the boot loader
16:27:00Slasheriyes, that would be good

16:32:48preglowdamn, you guys have been busy
16:37:44linuxstbWelcome back preglow.
16:39:20preglowhi
16:39:27preglowyou're right, the ipodloader button driver is glitchy
16:39:37preglowi did a hack to make it load firmware according to keypress
16:39:42preglowbut it doesn't always work
16:40:05linuxstbI've been playing as well, and I think the trick is to press the key as quickly as possible - before the apple logo appears.
16:40:20preglowwell, not exactly an elegant solution
16:40:36preglowi wonder if we should set up the full interrupt driven driver in the bootloader, already
16:40:46linuxstbThat's why I wanted to write a "proper" driver - based on the IPL kernel driver.
16:40:46preglowbut i also suspect the best thing is to touch as little as possible :/
16:41:02preglowbut yes
16:41:25preglowwhat should go first? making rockbox work?
16:42:03linuxstbIt would be nice to get Rockbox running. That's just waiting for crt0.S to be written now.
16:42:21linuxstbAs you can see from CVS, rockbox.ipod is compiling now.
16:42:33preglowyup
16:42:39preglowwell
16:42:42preglowwe also need threading, no?
16:44:02linuxstbYes - it obviously won't do anything useful without threading.
16:44:30preglowthat shouldn't be too hard, if we forget about the second core for the moment
16:46:03preglowi'll have a look at it now, as a matter of fact
16:46:44linuxstbNice.

17:41:34tucozOT, does static linking mean that I 'bundle' the executable with the library? If used with e.g. boost, will this give me faster executables?
17:41:54preglowyou bundle the library _in_ the executable
17:41:57preglowfaster, perhaps
17:42:06_FireFly_maybe faster but bigger executables
17:42:09preglowdepends on whether any other programs use boost as well, at the same time
17:42:22 Part ep0ch|
17:42:24preglowmost of boost is header based anyway, so you don't have a choice
17:42:46tucozpreglow, _FireFly_ : ok, thanks. Hmm, what does that mean? that I can not link it statically?
17:43:03preglowtucoz: there is nothing to link against in the majority of boost. all the functionality is in .h files
17:43:14preglowtucoz: the code is inlined
17:43:17tucozpreglow, oh, I see.
17:43:27preglowthere are some expecptions
17:43:31preglowline filesystem and python wrapper
17:43:35tucozok
17:43:36preglowexceptions!
17:43:45*tucoz understood anyway
17:44:30linuxstbAnyone know if a linux kernel has a built-in checksum, or anything else I can use to check that it's valid?
17:44:36tucozboost is really good I think. The little I have used it has helped me lots
17:44:45preglowyes, boost is a must for c++ coding, if you ask me
17:44:49preglowi use it all the time
17:45:21tucozpreglow, cool. I used stl all the time, but there were some parts missing there, so boost is a nice addition to that.
17:45:36preglowi use stl all the time too
17:45:44preglowbut alone it's a bit lacking
17:45:49tucozI mean, stl exclusively.
17:46:07tucozBut, then I had to reinvent the wheel all the time
17:47:32preglowwhat's up with the 'started' variable in thread.c ?
17:47:49preglowseems like some archs does started thread detection in a different way without any very good reason
17:48:36LinusNit depends how the thread is started
17:49:52LinusNyou either start it by "manually" putting a valid stack frame on the thread stack and do a context switch, or you use the "started" flag to make the scheduler start it explicitly
17:51:04preglowthe why doesn't all archs have 'started'?
17:51:06preglowthen
17:51:37preglowriight
17:51:40preglowforget me

17:55:07amiconn_hi
17:55:11preglowhello
17:56:05amiconn_LinusN, preglow: All rockbox targets use a 'started' indication in the scheduler, the forged context method is long gone
17:56:39amiconn_The difference is that the gmini uses a separate 'started' flag, while the others use the start address field for that
17:56:58preglowwhy does it do that? just hasn't been fixed yet?
17:57:06amiconn_If the start address is non-NULL, the thread needs to be started. NULL indicates already started
17:57:35amiconn_The gmini port is stalled, and I didn't want to change code that I can neither compile nor test
17:59:11preglowok, thanks for clearing up
17:59:22preglowi'll delete that in the ipod target, then
17:59:45amiconn_The SH and coldfire targets both use the start address technique

21:03:36preglowthe bootloader code or the proper interupt driven code?
21:03:37preglowahh
21:03:49linuxstbYes, just the bootloader code. We can replace it later.
21:03:51preglowi've got one which does that as well

21:12:05linuxstb_I'm just reducing the amount of screen clutter (so it will be fine on the Nano), then I'll commit.

22:09:54]RowaN[whats the general feeling on moving the main rockbox exe to inside the .rockbox directory, to make the root look a bit cleaner. i know its been disucssed before
22:10:21LinusNi'm not against it
22:11:45muesli_-would be cool (just my 0.0002cents...)
22:11:49Paul_The_NerdI think it'd be kinda nice too.
22:12:11linuxstb_It means that if you don't have "show all files", then you can't browse to it to reboot. But maybe that's not an issue.
22:12:39Learfor developers it might be...
22:13:12linuxstb_Personally I would prefer a reboot option in the menu - maybe the top option in Debug
22:14:06Paul_The_NerdI always kinda wondered why there wasn't one.
22:14:20muesli_-would be cool, too (just my 0.0002cents again...)
22:14:35]RowaN[well maybe the bootloader could execute /.rockbox/rockbox.iriver if it doesnt find a copy of the file on the root.. but maybe thats a needless complication of a bootloader which is supposd to be kept simple
22:14:59preglowyes
22:15:08preglowbut not much, i suppose
22:15:08Paul_The_NerdOr...
22:16:00linuxstb_Another option is to make .rockbox just hold configuration files, and put the binaries (rockbox.iriver, the plugins and the codecs) somewhere else.
22:16:01Paul_The_NerdYou could just change the display supported files so it ignored rockbox.iriver. I know it's kinda counterintuitive since it's technically supported, but that way you wouldn't have to rewrite the bootloader.
22:16:55LinusNthere is another reason to put in in .rockbox:
22:17:10]RowaN[wow just seen ipod builds on the daily page =]
22:17:29LinusNso many lamers extract only the rockbox.iriver file to the player, this way they *have* to extract .rockbox
22:17:30]RowaN[is there a public bootloader for ipods?
22:18:02preglowlinuxstb_: what the hell? does arm stacks grow upward?
22:18:16]RowaN[oh no this channel is going to end up full of ipod owners! ='[
22:18:25preglowlinuxstb_: or is you putting _stackbegin in sp an error?
22:21:11tucoz]RowaN[, join #ipodlinux for a taste of how that will be ;)
22:21:20]RowaN[*shudder*
22:22:10]RowaN[hmm i guess i have slightly less reason to laugh at ipod owners now though
22:22:23tucozlinuxstb_, have the ipodlinux community shown any interest in the rockbox port?
22:22:48linuxstb_preglow: It could be a mistake.
22:22:58]RowaN[the sound quality from my ipod sucked (tinny, no bass, EQ made everything distort), but everyone else seems to think its ok.. maybe mine was faulty.. doesnt seem likely though
22:23:14linuxstb_preglow: Compare my code with startup.s in the ipodloader directory.
22:23:41linuxstb_tucoz: No, none at all.
22:23:44tucozI just wonder if the sound quality of the bundled head phones is any good, or if people just use them as a fasion statement
22:24:40tucozlinuxstb_, that is too bad. Well, maybe there will be interest in a while.
22:25:24tucoz(I meant fashion :)
22:25:26linuxstb_I don't think many people there know what Rockbox is. Or maybe they are just very happy with ipodlinux.
22:26:48tucozThat is probably true. Just curious, does it take long time to boot ipl?
22:26:54]RowaN[tucoz: it was dire with my 3rd gen ipod, original headfones or my own sony ones (which sound great with my iriver, and with my £50 cd player)
22:27:04]RowaN[it was nice of apple to refund me so promptly though =]
22:28:04preglowlinuxstb_: it could be that they've swapped the stackbeing and stackend symbols
22:28:05tucozhehe, ok. (dire means crap right?)
22:28:12preglowlinuxstb_: in rockbox, i believe stackend is the one with the higher address
22:28:27linuxstb_That could explain the corruptions then.
22:28:39preglownot really

22:57:06len0xwho doesn't like what? :)
22:57:23Paul_The_NerdFor example, if you're playing and reach the end of a directory, with it enabled it goes on to the next directory, but if it's disabled it doesn't seem to.
22:57:56len0xwhat's wrong with that behaviour ?
22:57:59Paul_The_NerdThat part I like
22:58:17***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
22:58:18Paul_The_NerdThe part I dislike is that the addition of the "Folder Skip" button combination is enabled/disabled by the same menu choice, it seems.

23:05:17_FireFly_Paul_The_Nerd: i have just test it it doesn't work when you play a playlist
23:05:23Paul_The_Nerd_For some reason in the middle of the music playing, a song will end, and instead of moving to the next playlist entry, it moves into either the recording folder, or the patchset folder for the old midi plugin thing
23:05:43Paul_The_Nerd_I'd thought I was accidentally triggering the folder navigation, but apparently it's something else.
23:07:18LinusNthere is something fishy with playlist playback

23:16:14amiconnThe first time I got it to react after a couple of tries. The second time the only working method was the 8-second shutdown
23:16:39Paul_The_Nerd_I've had that happen too amiconn, but only once so far.
23:16:39len0xa bug: play something -> to go the radio -> exit radio via stop -> press play - blanks screen

23:29:38preglowi guess i'll have to assume it doesn't charge via usb in linux, then
23:29:46markunyou can't have bricked it, can you?
23:30:00preglowmarkun: that would have been, very, very hard
23:30:18preglowit looks to me like it's pretty close to impossible
23:30:27markungood to hear
23:30:38preglowit's got a bootloader in flash that can always boot in disk mode

23:33:14preglowand now it doesn't do anything when i try to turn it on
23:33:21linuxstb_Mine charges fine from Linux.
23:33:29preglowi'm pretty damned sure mine did as well
23:33:43linuxstb_It does just sound like the battery is empty though.
23:33:54preglowi'm also pretty sure the battery wasn't completely emptyu
23:33:55preglowhmmm
23:34:12preglowthis was just normal development, i can't have bricked it doing this
23:34:28preglowbah
23:34:32linuxstb_So the reboot combination works, but it goes straight to a battery icon?
23:34:37preglowi'll just boot windows and see what happens
23:34:38preglowno
23:34:39preglownothing happens
23:34:42preglowit never turns on

23:35:25linuxstb_I would just try charging it for a while. I too would be extremely surprised if you've bricked it.
23:35:51preglowi'
23:36:11preglowi've plugged it straigt into my box now, perhaps the lcd panel usb hub crashed or something
23:36:32preglowno, i refuse to believe it's possible to brick it doing something like thsi
23:36:38preglowi've done way crazier things
23:36:46preglowlike the time cygwin overwrote the partition table and mbr

23:53:27Paul_The_Nerd]RowaN[: I'm not 100% certain. I moved my .wps file into the WPS folder, moved my images into a subfolder and everything worked fine

23:53:49preglowyeah, but i'll give it a few more tests first
23:54:06preglowscrolling still doesn't work for some raso
23:54:06Paul_The_NerdThe .wps file still simply calls it backround.bmp and it's in .rockbox/wps/paul/background.bmp with the .wps being .rockbox/wps/paul.wps
23:54:07preglowreason

23:55:20Paul_The_NerdOdd.
23:55:27linuxstb_preglow: I would guess not - I only did the very minimum to get the text displaying.
23:55:36Paul_The_NerdWhat's the line in your WPS that loads the image?
23:56:02]RowaN[%x|a|test.bmp|0|0|
23:56:45Paul_The_NerdHrm
