#rockbox log for 2005-12-21

00:00:23mirakthe divide happen after the mult
00:00:30mirakI guess
00:00:48amiconnNo guesswork involved
00:01:02*mirak don't want to open eclipse tonight
00:01:06amiconnApart from that, LCD_RGBPACK() happens at build time, not at runtime
00:01:30mirakI am not sure what it changes, can you explain ?
00:02:52linuxstbMy understanding is that 0->0, 255 -> 31 and everything else is proportional in between,.
00:03:18 Quit Jungti1234 ("bye")
00:03:59amiconnlostlogic: Do you check/set the correct EMAC mode?
00:05:07miraklinuxstb: it's the "mostly done at compile time that I don't get". So there is an array that map the precalculated values instead of computing.
00:05:59amiconnNo. All the calculation within the macro is performed by the compiler (if you use constants for r, g and b, that is)
00:06:07linuxstbLGB_PACK is a macro, so when you write LCD_RGBPACK(255,255,255) in the source, the compiler will calculate it at compile time and replace it with 0xffff
00:06:22amiconnThe compiled code does only contain the final result (a 16 bit unsigned integer)
00:08:08mirakok, I am not familiar with that
00:08:47linuxstbIt's like saying "x=3+5;" - the compiler will simplify that to just be "x=8;"
00:09:33mirakbut this can't work for loaded images
00:09:38mirakor xvid for exemple
00:09:42mirakright ?
00:10:18mirakI can understand that it works for wps
00:10:20LinusNmaybe we should raise the normal frequency from 45MHz to 56MHz, to compensate for the increased cpu load due to the larger lcd?
00:10:28LinusNon the h300
00:10:35linuxstbThat's a different issue, and you possibly wouldn't use the LCD_RGBPACK macro.
00:10:46amiconnsurely not
00:10:53linuxstbxvidcore for example has its own internal routines for converting to rgb565
00:11:02mirakok
00:11:10linuxstbIt's a yuv2rgb conversion
00:11:11markunffmpeg also has a routine for it.
00:11:52 Quit webguest77 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
00:12:01amiconnEither you'd use these routines if they're fast enough, use fast-but-imprecise bit cutting, or use an optimised version of the formula in LCD_RGBPACK()
00:12:09amiconnThat's what the grayscale library does
00:12:41*petur discovers belgian beer doesn't help to do unsigned arithmetic
00:12:53LinusNpetur: wow
00:13:20peturliving in belgium doesn't help ;)
00:13:24LinusNpetur: you're nobel prize material for discovering that :-)
00:13:25*Bagder writes that down
00:13:33amiconnIn the grayscale library, I use a simple trick to optimise away the division.
00:13:40*linuxstb puts down his Guinness to write that down
00:13:46*LinusN tries with english beer
00:14:27amiconnI use the fact that 1/255 = 1/256 + (1/256)/256 + ((1/256)/256)/256 + ...
00:14:38markunGrolsch helps!
00:15:10amiconnThe first two terms deliver sufficient precision, and /256 can be replaced by >> 8
00:15:43mirakpetur: you speak flaman or french ?
00:15:43amiconnSee apps/plugins/lib/gray_draw.c lines 510,511
00:15:52peturflemish
00:16:21peturand a bit of french, german and english
00:17:00mirakamiconn: ok
00:17:18nathanhthough any modern compiler will replace /256 with >> 8 for you
00:17:33nathanhin fact, gcc will even convert /255 into the crazy combo of shifts and adds
00:17:48amiconngray_ub_gray_bitmap_part() does the same, but coded in asm

00:53:04LinusNamiconn: me too :-)
00:58:23lostlogicxpreglow: you were right to look in floor1.c for optimizations for high bitrates. got at least 1 full percent boost (looks like two kinda) improvement by optimizing render_point and render_line on my bitrate spike test song.
00:59:05linuxstbLinusN: Do you want me to fix solitaire for the ipod?
00:59:15linuxstbAgain.... :)
00:59:23LinusNwait until after my commit
01:00
01:01:08linuxstblostlogicx: How much faster is Tremor now compared to CVS?
01:01:25linuxstbYou seem to be report 1% increases every few hours
01:02:03lostlogicxunfortunately I've also found that the total is less than the sum of the parts :(
01:03:10lostlogicx8% probably
01:03:28linuxstbSo what is a typical boost ratio now?
01:04:23lostlogicxon my higher bitrate test song 50-51 (q7, 239kbps avg)

01:05:28lostlogicxon my lower bitrate song *checks* looks like 44-46
01:05:45linuxstbThat's comfortable.
01:06:12linuxstbAre you going to move onto faad next? :)
01:06:16lostlogicxyeah, it's getting there... still not nearly as fast as MAD
01:06:31lostlogicxtbh, I'm probably done after Tremor, because I only have Oggs in my collection :-\
01:07:07linuxstbWell, your profiling work will definitely be use for whoever tackles faad.

01:07:17linuxstbs/use/useful/
01:08:14lostlogicxI hope so. There are definitely limitations with profiling because of the extra jumps involved causing slightly different code paths, but at least it's something.
01:08:48lostlogicx217kbps average song is ending the full song at 43% boost.

01:56:34nathanhis the faster screen updates due to the inlining of lcd funcs?
01:56:43LinusNno
01:56:48LinusNDMA
01:57:06nathanhwoo, i recall some discussion about that
01:57:25nathanhsome timing issues... i guess they were resolved
01:57:41LinusNyeah, but it still isn't as fast as it could be
01:57:55LinusNsince the iriver engineers screwed up again
01:58:14*nathanh expresses complete shock
01:58:30nathanhwhat did they do wrong?
01:58:59LinusNthey connected the Register Select pin to the A1 address pin
01:59:13nathanhhar har har
01:59:39LinusNif they had connected it to a higher address pin, like A4, we could have made burst accesses
01:59:55lostlogicstupid iRiver engineers.
01:59:57lostlogic:-D
02:00
02:00:02nathanhaye, i understand the implications :-)
02:00:14LinusNbecause of this, we can't use the high speed ram mode in the lcd
02:00:35nathanhhrm, hardware hack + rockbox...
02:00:40LinusN:-)
02:04:08lostlogicnew battery day.
02:04:27YouCeyEhi LinusN
02:04:59YouCeyEany docs on programming embedded systems?
02:05:11YouCeyEu guys do lot of work.. is it documented to learn about it
02:05:18YouCeyEtutorial kind of thing
02:05:24LinusNYouCeyE: i dunno
02:05:37YouCeyEk
02:05:41ratpack91ee degree helps :)
02:05:44PaulJI think the LCD brightness patch for H300 needs to be modified to work with the most recent source
02:05:57LinusNi believe there is an o'reilly book on the subject
02:06:15ratpack91c an c++ in embedded systems
02:06:26LinusNnever read it though
02:06:26lostlogicLinusN: as far as coding standards −− I'm puting a lot of assembly into Tremor to make it suck less, how should I format this? Having #ifdefs all over is ugly, but keeps the assembly near what it replaces which is good, thoughts?
02:06:47LinusNlostlogic: it's really up to you
02:07:04lostlogicLinusN: alright −− I'll try to make it Not Ugly (TM)
02:07:38YouCeyEratpack91, i am in comp sci
02:07:41LinusNlostlogic: we try not to restructure the codec source code, to be able to update them
02:07:49YouCeyEbut didnt work much in programming embed sys
02:07:56YouCeyEc and c++ is fine..
02:08:03YouCeyEhardware side is the problem
02:08:32LinusNYouCeyE: hacking a c64 for years helps too
02:08:46*LinusN has no degree whatsoever
02:08:51lostlogicLinusN: Hmm, that would be quite difficult to avoid when replacing things like ++ and −− with macros, but I'll keep it as close as possible so that patch rejects are obvious.
02:08:51YouCeyEc64?
02:09:02lostlogicLinusN: you're a pimp though :)
02:09:12ratpack91agreed
02:09:43YouCeyEi believe one simple document explaining one feature in rockbox can help starters

02:10:52YouCeyEwill check it out lostlogic
02:11:04YouCeyEall source in cvs, right?
02:11:19LinusNYouCeyE: the trick is to understand how the hardware works, but you don't always need that
02:11:41YouCeyELinusN, yes.. but starting is the problem
02:11:47LinusNembedded programming is much about knowing the limits
02:11:50YouCeyEneed some cheap thing to test programming
02:12:02nathanhan h300 with spinners and hydraulics
02:12:22YouCeyEcant afford to play it on my iriver..
02:12:26ratpack91you can get some evaluation boards
02:12:44YouCeyEratpack91, yes.. i had one board.. c166
02:12:46YouCeyEboard
02:12:55nathanhyouceye: rockbox programming is safe, only the bootloader is dangerous
02:12:59YouCeyEshld find it where i kept it
02:13:10lostlogicstupid coldfire needs separate add instructions for dest Ax vs dest Dx.
02:13:20YouCeyEso.. rockbox code is same for all players..
02:13:30nathanhcode is, binaries are different for each
02:13:31YouCeyEonly boot loader is diff for players..
02:13:33YouCeyEright?
02:13:47nathanhboot loader is also diff for players, some players dont even need a boot loader
02:13:50YouCeyEdo u guys use cross compiling stuff?

02:16:15YouCeyEnathanh, i am good with vim..
02:16:32YouCeyEjust for debugging stuff..
02:16:40YouCeyEi use ddd sometimes
02:17:09AciDYouCeyE > you can try kdevelop or anjuta

02:18:50nathanhgo for it, get the precompiled bootloader installed
02:18:59nathanhthen follow the instructions to download the cvs and compile a rockbox.iriver binary
02:19:26nathanhonce the bootloader is installed, its pretty much impossible to brick the player with rockbox.iriver

02:38:56LinusNeverytime i have used a commercial realtime os on a platform, my customer has always used windows as a dev platform
02:41:43HooliganForgive me for asking, but are there currently any immediate benefits to the H300 LCD speed increase, or will that help for future additions
02:44:07Hooligan?
02:45:05LinusNslightly less lag when scrolling, longer battery life
02:45:14LinusNfaster rockboy
02:45:42HooliganOh, thought Rockboy's problems lied primarily in it's lack of optimization.
02:45:55LinusNthat too
02:46:41elinenbeLinusN: what is the theoretical speed increase for the high speed RAM mode −− if iriver had done it properly?
02:48:02elinenbealso seeing that I ONLY use my iriver for rockboy (just kidding), what's the speedup with the new LCD code?
02:49:14LinusNthe rockboy speedup will probably not be substantial
02:50:15LinusNthe theoretical speedup if we could use highspeed mode and burst access...i'd guess roughly 50%
02:50:33LinusNi haven't calculated though
02:50:54LinusNperhaps even more
02:50:56HooliganLinusN: Wow. Time to rewire my H320.

02:52:14AciDah yes
02:52:19HooliganLinusN: Would it be possible to add a function to RB that grabs the filename of the currently playing track, searches for a text file in the directory with the same name, and displays it? I know enough C to know that it's not hard, but not quite enough to code it yet...
02:52:45mirakAciD: I tried anjuta it just crashes. Kdevelop is horrible
02:52:51LinusNyou can do it with a plugin
02:53:33AciDmirak > you just discovered the awful truth, there is no good IDE for c/c++ on unix...

02:54:20mirakxemacs as well
02:55:07mirakis there a patch around or maybe it's done, to have a key press to just enable backlight without activating a function
02:55:44mirakactually I use old key, but well the behavior of the original firmware is nice in this regard
02:56:39Hooliganmirak: I don't know, but I've just been turning key lock on and off to turn on the backlight.
02:56:57mirakHooligan: yes that's the hold key, not old
02:57:32Hooliganmirak: Well, that makes a lot more sense then.
02:57:58mirakI could have say the "ancient" key

05:46:22YouCeyEthen i think it makes sense to include everything in .rockbox folder
05:46:32YouCeyEi unrared it separately
05:46:38YouCeyEand missed to include bootloader
05:46:57nathanhrockbox.iriver is not the bootloader
05:46:58lostlogicYouCeyE: bootloader is part of firmware, rockbox.iriver is firmware file
05:47:08lostlogicermh yeah, ignore me, I speak with ass.
05:47:16***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
05:47:48YouCeyEyes.. but its easier to missout that boot loader file in the first try
05:48:11YouCeyEbeing a user perspective, i didnt know details initially
05:48:27nathanhits not really ready for users, its still in heavy development
05:48:38YouCeyEk :)

09:34:58warewolfhey, anyone know if it's possible to charge via USB w/ rockbox on the H3xx iRivers?
09:35:06warewolfer.. while still playing music
09:35:12DreamTactix291i don't think so
09:35:19warewolfsoftware limitation or HW?
09:35:36perplexityno it's not possible..
09:35:39warewolfthe original iriver firmware didn't let you :/
09:35:56ashridahwarewolf: as we've seen that's not really a good indicator :)
09:36:01perplexityYou only have 500ma available on the usb port, which is likely not enough to properly charge the battery and run the player
09:36:01DreamTactix291hmm
09:36:10DreamTactix291not sure if its a hardware limitation or not
09:36:11warewolfperplexity: ah, point.
09:36:15DreamTactix291but perplexity brings up a good point
09:36:16ashridahbut yeah, that'd be my assumption too
09:36:45Bagderbut it could extend the playing time
09:37:25warewolfBagder: possibly... It totally bugged me that the unit itself refused to operate as a USB powered HD and had to use its internal battery when acting as a USB HD
09:37:36warewolfooh
09:37:41warewolfactually, could rockbox do that?
09:37:54warewolfhave the unit run power off the usb when it's just in disk mode?
09:38:12warewolf(I've been really, *really* impressed with rockbox on my H340, thanks guys)
09:38:21BagderI thought it did that already
09:38:49warewolfBagder: for the iRiver firmware I'm positive it ran off the internal battery when acting as a USB hard drive to a PC
09:39:00warewolfBagder: I have no idea how rockbox does it
09:39:12ashridahyou're only really garunteed 500mA. you could probably get more from a powered hub, but doing it from a motherboard would be risky
09:39:13Bagderit always runs off the batteries
09:39:20Bagderthe question is if it charges or not
09:39:24ashridah(and even then, garunteed isn't a garuntee :) )
09:40:10ashridahif only we'd all standardised on firewire
09:40:12ashridah:(
09:40:24warewolfspeaking of
09:40:31warewolfwtf is up with apple removing firewire from ipods
09:40:37warewolfdidn't they help make the damn spec?
09:41:09BagderI bet there were a ton of companies involved
09:41:12ashridahyeah, and then, like betamax, it got canned because no-one adopted it, even if it sucked less
09:41:20ashridahlots of laptops have the gear
09:41:36*Bagder recalls Apple-and-SCSI
09:41:36ashridahbut it didn't penetrate into the pc market weel
09:41:38ashridahwell even
09:41:58warewolfBagder: oh yeah, the big [ ] square connector that had A SINGLE GROUND LINE. *groan*
09:42:20zefirewire didn't? i think all our pc's have firewire ports
09:42:30zethough i think i removed it from mine cause i didn't really use it and needed the free irq's

11:59:35webguest80I'm looking for a MAS assembler
11:59:42webguest80may you help me?
12:00
12:00:30VladomanYou don't want it :-)
12:02:19webguest80?
12:02:56Bgerwebguest80 i don't think there is such thing for free ...
12:03:05webguest80k I see
12:03:33webguest80it seems kind of nasty to write one
12:03:46Bgerbut do you have the specs ?
12:04:22webguest80I've already did a disassembler
12:04:27Bgerwhat ?
12:04:30Bgerfor which MAS ?
12:04:35webguest803587
12:04:42webguest80the one inside AV300

12:11:48webguest80wait for the site as this is not my PC so I'vent got it right now
12:11:54webguest80instead look at my disass
12:12:02webguest80in linav cvs

12:25:51webguest80anyway I've got at least two interesting pdf
12:25:58 Part Sando
12:26:14webguest80one describes the instruction set
12:26:21webguest80and the pipeline
12:26:48webguest80the latter describes (only partially) the interfaces
12:27:26webguest80if you give me an address I'll be happy to send you infos
12:29:02webguest80the disassembler in cvs can correctly decode the uploaded code (2 blocks of memory used for mp3 decoding)
12:29:53Bgeramiconn are you interested in this ?
12:29:57webguest80unluckily there's no way to get access to the program ROM so we can't disassemble the firmware
12:30:17Bgeraha :(
12:30:36webguest80no way about it
12:30:57webguest80the dsp has distinguish 3 different memory areas
12:31:02webguest80D0 (Data 0)
12:31:06webguest80D1 (Data 1)
12:31:12webguest80P (Program code)
12:31:38webguest80Program code is not readable, even with dsp code
12:32:12webguest80it's only used for instruction decoding
12:33:19Bgerthey've protected themselves
12:35:04webguest80we still have 4k words of RAM
12:35:11webguest80that can be used for code

12:38:04webguest80dunno if it can stretched in 4k
12:38:13peturdidn't get time to try it yet
12:38:15webguest80but maybe it can be written...
12:38:30webguest80I'm not much in codec writing anyway so I dunno

12:41:57Bgervery good
12:41:59webguest80of the site where I got the inofs
12:42:44webguest80fyi... about the strange way it works...
12:42:55Bgeris there any chance of older MASes being compatible with this one ?
12:43:15webguest80all 35xx seems to be code compatible
12:43:31webguest80the only changing thing
12:43:32Bgerolder MASes = ones in the players rockbox runs on
12:43:40webguest80seems to be the registers
12:44:06webguest80every 35xx dsp has 256 registers
12:44:14webguest80they are used to setup the chip
12:44:25Bgerah, yes, they are all 35xx series
12:44:40webguest80and only some of them are fix in all version
12:45:00webguest80still have to figure out the meaning of lot of them
12:45:27 Quit San||Away (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
12:45:44Bgerthis will be hard work...
12:45:51webguest80yes
12:46:00amiconnI guess the MAS performance would be sufficient to decode vorbis, as it even manages to *encode* mp3 realtime
12:46:14webguest80I agree
12:46:15amiconnHowever, 4K words RAM aren't enough
12:46:27webguest80we're speaking of instruction of 20 bit
12:46:37webguest80a word is 20 bit in dsp
12:46:42amiconnyes I know
12:46:51webguest80so we have 4096 instructions... not bat
12:46:53webguest80*bad
12:47:10webguest80look in commodore scene what they can do in 4k :D
12:47:11nathanhwait, so the iriver stock firmware uses the MAS, and rockbox is using the CPU solely?
12:47:18Bgernathanh nooo
12:47:23Bgerthere's no MAS in irivers
12:47:32nathanhokie dokie
12:48:30amiconnwebguest80: Vorbis needs large tables which won't fit. Same with WMA
12:48:43webguest80ok I see
12:48:46webguest80I didn't know
12:49:04webguest80this can be a big problem
12:49:27webguest80the dsp hasn't got room for great things
12:50:15webguest80but it's great in fast calculations
12:50:27webguest80it's even able to do MAC
12:52:05mirakamiconn: the mp3 even in 320kbps is really poor quality
12:52:14mirakI mean in record mode
12:52:58amiconnThe MAS only generates frames up to 192kbps, but the quality is rather good

14:13:51Bger unsigned char bit_size; /* min 6+1 bit */
14:14:19Bgerthis is part of the definition of struct bit_entry
14:14:42*[IDC]Dragon recognizes his code
14:14:45Bgerit says "min 6+1 bit" ?
14:15:02Bgerbut there are many settings which use 1 bit for example
14:15:54[IDC]Dragonwithout looking at it, this is probably the min width for the member
14:16:15[IDC]Dragon6 bit=0..63 plus sign
14:16:46Bgerso if i write something like {1,S_O(val),...
14:16:55Bgerit'll be min 6 bit on the disk ?
14:18:05*[IDC]Dragon looks
14:19:08[IDC]Dragonthe comment meant the sizes of the strict member itself
14:19:35Bgerbut if i say 1 bit, it'll be 1 bit on the disk ?

And all this to be able to view the contents of my folders in Ubuntu.
14:46:31dropandhohey all!
14:46:33XavierGropps s/Linus/Linux
14:46:53dropandhoanyone happen to be working on more remote screen porting- seems that has lost some steam
14:47:25XavierGrH300?
14:47:32dropandho120/40
14:47:53dropandhonot much advancing on that format at all these days really
14:47:53dropandhohehe
14:48:19XavierGrwell only the recording screen is left I think....
14:48:35XavierGroh and the virtual keyboard.
14:48:45crwlXavierGr, after that ownership fuckup, you might as well reinstall
14:49:09XavierGrbut truth is that TiMiD can't be found these days, though with his work it could be easy to port the rest of the screeens.
14:49:34dropandhoyeah- and that seems to be a piece is missing for sleep timer
14:49:43dropandhogot it- was wondering who did the work on that
14:49:55XavierGrcrwl: Well I thought that was Linux all about. Not to have to re-install as frequently as Windows.
14:50:08Bagderit is
14:50:18BagderXavierGr: but then you shouldn't mess it all up
14:50:53dropandhoany ideas what is missing for the 1st official irver release?
14:51:02dropandho(for 120/40 that is)
14:51:17peturdropandho: pre-recording and a fix for the recording glitch is coming soon (both H3xx and H1xx)
14:51:33dropandhoohh nice
14:51:42XavierGrBagder: With all respect to Linux, I can't see how it can be easy for PC newbies to run Linux. I have quite some experience with PCs and I have quite a hard time to do what I want.
14:51:43dropandhoand then maybe an official release of it all?
14:51:57BagderXavierGr: so?
14:52:14BagderLinux just rocks, I don't care if newbies use it
14:52:40crwlyou just should have avoided using root privileges (except when installing programs) and you would have been fine
14:52:58BagderXavierGr: you can mess up your windows install too
14:53:01XavierGrI thought that Linux was moving more to the newbie side to be able to expand its userbase.
14:53:03crwlit's not possible to screw up system file permissions as normal user :P
14:53:07XavierGrofcourse
14:53:18BagderXavierGr: it is a lot more user-friendly now than ever before
14:53:26Bagderand it'll be so even more in the future
14:53:41Bagderusing Linux is _your_ benefit, not some else's
14:54:09XavierGrI didn't meant the opposite. It is free after all.
14:54:27XavierGrAnd I really want to use Linux one day and get rid of Microsoft
14:54:30amiconnLinux == user-friendly? Hmm, somehow I doubt that
14:54:42amiconnIt's really flexible, yes, but user friendly?
14:54:45Bagderit is user-friendly
14:54:49BagderI am a user

14:57:06XavierGrLinux is a whole different beast than Windows, while I know many things about windows still I can't do nothing in Linux after 3-4 hours of reading and fiddling with a terminal.
14:57:26Bagderit is quite different, yes
14:59:24*amiconn wonders what exotic things Bagder wants to do that aren't possible in Windows
14:59:47XavierGrAnd that packet manager seems really annoying to me. I want to be free of installing a program. That is a major reason why I dislike Windows, only to find out (until now) that when I want a program I have to install it via the packer.
14:59:47Bagdersimple things like configuring my windows manager
15:00
15:00:29Bagderspeedy rockbox builds! ;-)
15:00:42BagderXavierGr: that is not true
15:00:43amiconnThat's not Window's fault

15:01:47peturslow as hell
15:01:57Bagderstill, using Linux fixes it
15:02:04Bagderas so many other things are better in linux
15:02:22Bagderimho of course
15:02:42peturbuilding stuff in MS DevStudio is also very fast, does that make Windows better?
15:02:52Bagderhahaha
15:03:01Bagderwhat a comparison
15:03:08XavierGrThe only real drawback of converting right now is the major loss of my software and some minor loss of hardware.

15:03:12Bagderls is faster than dir!
15:03:18Bagderpetur: nope

15:03:35amiconn???
15:03:51Bagderyes, back to the window manager argument
15:03:52XavierGrSlasheri and what if you don't know the commands?
15:04:23SlasheriXavierGr: well, i can't say but i have found man pages and google for bigger problems helpful
15:04:32*petur hugs his right-click context menus
15:04:58SlasheriXavierGr: and of course with a window manager (such as kde for example), you can do (if you want) most of the things with the mouse
15:05:33XavierGrSlasheri that's what I am talking you need major training (even doing this alone) before one is capable of using Linux.
15:06:00SlasheriXavierGr: that might be true.. but i am not probably the right person to say that :)
15:06:11crwlone needs major training before being capable of using windows too
15:06:13Bagderwell you've trained for windows too
15:06:17Slasherianyway, man pages are useful because they include the "see also" section
15:06:23crwland it seems you're confusing administrating and using

15:07:09XavierGrBagder: The training process in Windows was quite different. The user can do many things with the GUI and then he can explore various options as he goes.
15:07:22BagderXavierGr: and that is different?
15:07:58Bagderand I didn't say the learning would be the same
15:08:01XavierGrWell I have to use the terminal and copy paste things from a FAQ that I can't really understand (not to mention remember)
15:08:11Bagderjust that you've spent lots of time learning windows too
15:08:26Bagderyou don't "have to" use the terminal in most cases
15:08:51XavierGrI have the opposite experiance.
15:09:09XavierGrAll examples in the Ubuntu starter guide needs a terminal command
15:09:10Bagderwell I of course prefer everything command line
15:09:26Bagderand I don't use ubuntu ;-)
15:09:53XavierGrYes I know what you mean, once you remember all those commands you are a full fledged user bat what until then?
15:10:15XavierGrBagder: What's your disto?
15:10:26Bagderdebian unstable
15:10:47XavierGrwell Ubuntu I have heard that is quite similar to debian....
15:10:58Bagderyes, it is based on debian
15:11:09Slasheriubuntu has the same package manager, but the installation procedure should be simpler

15:11:36SlasheriXavierGr: have you tried kubuntu? It should come kde installed as default iiuc
15:11:37crwltherefore, a very good distro
15:11:44XavierGrinstalling Ubuntu was quite simple, yes I agree on that.
15:12:06crwlkubuntu is of course even better, because gnome sucks :)
15:12:12Bagderhaha
15:12:14Slasheriyeah :)
15:12:21XavierGrSlasheri: No I haven't, I will fiddle around some more with Ubuntu and then maybe I will consider kUbuntu.
15:12:22Bagderand emacs beats vi! ;-)
15:12:27Slasheri:D
15:12:34SlasheriXavierGr: probably you should try that then
15:12:43Slasherikde much much more user-friendlier than gnome
15:12:57crwlBagder, now that's bullshit ;)
15:13:09Bagderactually, I think the most of the Linux vs Windows is a state of mind
15:13:20crwlSlasheri, i hear they call gnome user-friendly because you can't do much with it
15:13:23Bagderif you decide you love windows ways, you'll never like Linux ways
15:13:27crwlespecially configure it to suit your liking
15:13:34Slashericrwl: hehe :D
15:13:41XavierGrThough one thing is for sure. While it made my life harder and I keep swearing at Linux (because I can do almost nothing) I don't regret it because I have earned valuable experience.

15:16:23XavierGrAlso on another note: Where does the GRUB bootloader files are hanging? I thought that they will be in the boot priority disk, but I can't find them. If I load an old ghost image of Windows I will loose the bootloader and I won't be able to boot to linux. How can I run GRUB again? (without Linux)
15:17:14mirakXavierGr: you gave up ?
15:17:30mirakXavierGr: they are in /boot/grub/
15:17:31XavierGrno I didn't. (yet)
15:18:04BgerXavierGr don't do it!! :)
15:18:05XavierGrbut these files aren't on the boot HD?
15:18:11mirakXavierGr: depends if you ghost image is of the whole disk or only the window partition
15:18:50mirakXavierGr: no, but there is a binary, it's called grub, and it needs some files in /boot
15:18:51XavierGrwell the ghost image is has the windows partition of the priority boot HD.
15:19:25mirakXavierGr: you can do a boot floppy
15:19:42mirakand there is mini isos of grub, with only grub
15:19:46XavierGrMy question is how GRUB is executed if there are no binarys in the boot disk. (My installation of Linux is competely saperated from the boot disk but it loads nevertheless)
15:20:09mirakwhat do you mean by separated ?
15:20:15XavierGrok I should look for them then.
15:20:33mirakwhat's your problem, what do you want to do and why ?
15:21:40 Quit San (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
15:21:43mirakXavierGr: I don't think one need major training, just to use it. But if you want to do some weird things then yes.
15:21:58XavierGrI have 2 HDs with 2 partitions each. 1 has windows and it is selected as bootable. The second HD has Linux but it is not bootable. How grub can boot Linux from a disk that hasn't got boot priority?
15:22:02mirakfor exemple a fresh linux install on a clean hard drive with only linux is not that hard to use
15:22:18mirakbut when you need to mount partitions etcetera it became harder
15:22:57mirakXavierGr: what I did is windows only on one drive and linux only on the other. What you should have done is install linux with only the linux drive as master
15:23:21mirakbecause linux certainly installed grub in the masterboot record of the primary drive
15:23:43XavierGrbut I can't see any physical files there?
15:23:57mirakno it's a bootloader
15:24:06mirakit's binary code
15:24:08XavierGrand I did the opposite unfortunately Linux is on the slave disk and windows on the primary.
15:24:11mirakin the first sector
15:24:15mirakI think
15:24:34XavierGrso when I ghost another image I will loose the bootloader for sure.
15:24:53mirakdepends if your ghost is of the full disk or just one partition
15:25:25XavierGrit is one partition but it's the primary partition that windows boot.
15:25:30SlasheriXavierGr: grub doesn't use that partition boot flag at all
15:25:44SlasheriXavierGr: grub is normally installed on the hdd master boot record (mbr) sector
15:25:58Slasheriand the grub binary files are located on the /boot partition
15:26:41XavierGrSlasheri: If this sector is somehow deleted and loose the bootlaoder is there any way to configure it again externally(with a floopy or something)
15:27:04mirakso in clear what I did is this : I installed windows with only the master disk in it. then I installed linux but I removed the windows drive. What you need then is to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst to add a windows boot entry with the line map (hd0) (hd1) and map(hd1) (hd0)
15:27:12SlasheriXavierGr: yes, you need to reinstall the bootloader to boot again
15:27:41mirakXavierGr: if you delete the first sector you lose the partition map, you lose everything
15:27:48XavierGrMaybe I will have to do the brute force method. I will load my ghost image and see for myself. :D
15:28:10mirakXavierGr: it will not break the bootsector
15:28:15Slasherihmm, partition map shouldn't be on the first sector
15:28:29XavierGrmirak the windows ghost image is pre-;inux created.
15:28:48mirakXavierGr: the problem however is that you will not be able to boot without having the linux drive because grub needs some files in /boot/
15:28:48amiconnThe partition table *is* part of the MBR
15:28:55amiconn(well, except extended partitions of course)
15:28:57XavierGrif grub wrote something on that partition it will be lost after I load the ghost image.
15:29:04Slasheriamiconn: hmm, really? interesting..
15:29:18mirakXavierGr: grub writes nothing
15:29:32XavierGrmirak: no I wont loose the Linux partition.
15:29:48Slasheriok, that probably true as i have only experienced the mbr by creating a bootable floppy using assembler (so no partition map)
15:29:53mirakXavierGr: I think you need to fix first your windows installation and run fixmbr or something like that. Then do what I said
15:30:04XavierGr(it is on a different disk so the ghost image has nothing to do with it. The ghost image will only affect the primary boot partition of the primary HD.
15:31:06XavierGrwhere windows lies, Linux is on the primary partition of the slave HD
15:32:04amiconnSlasheri: A floppy disk doesn't have a MBR
15:32:20Slasheriamiconn: yes, true. It only has the bootable sector
15:32:32mirakyes but actually you *can't* boot windows without having your slave disk connected !!!
15:32:59mirakXavierGr:
15:33:41XavierGrha so if I remove or delete the Linux partition on the 2nd HD I will loose my windows installation?
15:33:42mirakbefore or after ghosting it will be the same
15:33:59mirakXavierGr: no you will just not be able to boot to it
15:34:07XavierGryes that
15:34:13XavierGrboot to it I mean
15:34:13mirakyou will then need to run fixmbr from the rescue cd
15:34:29XavierGrof Windows you mean?
15:34:34mirakyes
15:34:39peturfdisk /mbr
15:34:45XavierGrah yes I remember that

17:33:33peturapgap: currently that limit is 2MB
17:33:40perplexityI see it now Bger ... the debug screen uses adc_read which only displays the buffered results.. if the remote is not operational, selected or held.. then the adc_scan for the remote is not triggered, so the values never update :)
17:34:14perplexitywith the default code.. the h300 thinks the non-lcd remote is on hold all the time and it never reads the adc hardware
17:35:13perplexitywith the patch on the patch tracker for remote selection.. it never sets the remote type when the settings are read from disk.. only sets it when you use the menu.. so the remote will never work until you manually select it in the menu..

17:39:27lostlogicxpreglow: as my last post says, I found a faster solution without messing with the MAC which didn't introduce artifacts.
17:39:33preglowyep
17:39:44preglow'cause you're using the mac wrongly anyway :)
17:39:54lostlogicxpreglow: oh? do tell!
17:40:32preglowwell, we use the emac unit in fractional mode, which means the accumulator move instructions return the top 32 bits of the multiplications
17:40:41preglownot the bottom 32 bits, which is usual
17:40:44lostlogicxahhhhhh
17:41:04preglowso you've got to switch accumulator modes before you try something like that
17:41:06preglowbut yeah
17:41:12preglowi don't think that solution is very fast anyway
17:41:24lostlogicx*nod* I'll keep that in mind if I find another place to take advantage of it.
17:41:41preglowyup
17:41:58preglowbut yeah, using just good old add, sub and muls there is probably more than good enoughj
17:42:05preglowthe muls instruction isn't so slow on our coldfire
17:42:11preglowsince that actually uses the emac unit

18:20:01*amiconn has got an idea for vkeyboard and remote support, and also for morse display on archos
18:20:25Bgerhm, after a little i would like someone with h100 remote to test things ...
18:21:54amiconnThe problem is that we have small and large LCDs. On H1x0 and H3x0 the whole vkeyboard fits on the main display. For the remote we would need several pages the same way as for archos (currently having 3 pages)
18:22:53amiconnNow, if we don't use several pages but rather have all characters on one virtual page, which is scrolled as the cursor moves around so that the cursor always stays visible...

18:23:30amiconnThe same could be done for the morse input display, which is actually just a help screen. Scroll list up& down
18:26:13amiconnThe list could even be reformatted dynamically, allowing to use the UI font

18:59:11mirakhey how can I adapt the timers to rockbox ?
18:59:22mirakwhat's the concept general concept of time in rockbox ?
18:59:29mirak-concept
18:59:50mirakit's all based on HZ ?
18:59:55linuxstbThere is a current_tick variable which is incremented HZ (100) timers per second.
19:00
19:00:11Bgercoldfire has 2 timers
19:00:11linuxstbs/timers/times/
19:00:14Bgerone is used by rockbox
19:00:22Bgerand the other is available to plugins
19:01:01Bgerthe second is used also for dimming the h100's main display's backlight
19:01:11Bgerso this is disabled if the timer is in use
19:01:22linuxstbpreglow: Have you looked at the ipod audio code at all?
19:01:22Bgerthe second timer, even
19:02:11mirakso how we can't have under a second precision ?
19:02:34mirak-how
19:03:05linuxstbYes - current_tick will give you 1/100th of a second precision. I don't know about the timers.
19:03:08amiconnHmm, there seems to be no firmware update file for IGP-100 :(
19:03:27mirakwhat method do you use to know if the optimisation is good ? You calculate over a minute for a sample ?
19:03:54mirakI mean I am wondering if it's worth keeping any reference to time in the xvid code
19:04:50preglowlinuxstb: no, got distracted yesterday and now i'm hung over
19:05:25linuxstbmirak: There are two things you want to time - 1) The average time it takes to decode a frame (i.e. the number of frames per second you can decode) and 2) The amount of time the library spends inside each function - so you know where it is worthwhile spending time optimising.
19:05:54preglowi'm going away for a little while tomorrow too
19:06:04linuxstb2) is where lostlogic's profiling code will probably be useful.
19:06:48linuxstbpreglow: I'm going away for a couple of weeks on Saturday. I'm hoping to finish the audio before then, but not sure if I'll have time.
19:06:56preglowi wont have the time, that's for sure
19:06:59preglowi'm leaving tomorrow morning
19:07:29preglowi could try doing some stuff now, but it's hard trying to use this particular brain today
19:08:20miraklinuxstb: yep, but if we don't have a precision bigger than one second, I don't see how to caculate the time spent in one function
19:08:25mirakhow do you do that ?
19:08:40preglowwe have precision bigger than one second
19:09:25preglowlinuxstb: btw, seems david bryant's getting a nano
19:09:27mirak<linuxstb> There is a current_tick variable which is incremented HZ (100) timers per second.
19:09:40mirakhe lied to me :)
19:10:01mirakhow to get more precision ?
19:10:01preglowhe says flat out that you've got precision bigger than one second right there
19:10:06Bgernite
19:10:11preglowyou have 100 ticks per second
19:11:00mirakthat's left 4 ticks for a frame decoding
19:11:09miraksince of course we will run 25fps without a problem
19:11:13mirak:)
19:11:38preglowhaha
19:11:39preglowanyway
19:11:47preglowyou have higher resolution timers than that too
19:11:50linuxstbpreglow: Do you know if David Bryant is interested in working on anything else apart from wavpack on his Nano?
19:12:01preglowlinuxstb: sincerely doubt it, he says he doesn't have much time as it is
19:12:27mirakgoot
19:12:33preglowbut he has picked on other stuff from time to time

20:29:45preglowcell looks like a standard dsp design
20:31:19_FireFly_could be but the best is that one cell-chip has 8 cpu-cores arranged as an cell on it (one master an 7-slave)
20:31:20_FireFly_:)
20:31:37preglowit'll be hell programming for cell
20:31:48_FireFly_that is a really multi-core cpu and has an ppc alike arch implemented
20:31:49preglowi'm not convinced cell is a good plan
20:32:11preglowports from/to ps3 is not going to be straightforward
20:33:08_FireFly_multi-core using games are on their very start
20:34:10_FireFly_but you will need in future more cpu's to get better graphic-/physic-effects because the CPU-clock frequenz is nearly on it max
20:34:49preglowit's not just being multicore
20:35:08preglowthe cell processors are good at primarily one thing: crunching numbers
20:35:26preglowso you can't just put a generic thread onto a cell core and think it'll just blaze ahead
20:35:35preglowanywho, we'll see
20:35:35_FireFly_that's true
20:35:53preglowyou can do very much cool stuff with just crunching numbers anyway
20:37:07_FireFly_the biggest problem will be when threads are used in games is to have a good communication design between the several used threads
20:37:12mirakif a function is in a .c but never called, is it built or not into the binary ?
20:37:20_FireFly_mirak: it is build
20:37:33_FireFly_and linked into the binary afaik
20:37:47LinusNyes it is
20:38:21_FireFly_LinusN: to which topic is your answer ?? :)
20:38:22LinusNyou can use a special functionality in gcc/ld to weed out unused functions by putting all functions in a separate segment
20:38:58LinusNand let the linker remove unreferenced segments

20:40:31LinusNnice
20:40:49LinusNnow we need to find a way to autodetect the remote type

20:59:07bger_cgiircup - vol up; left - REW; right - FF; down - vol down; joy push - navi/menu
20:59:14_FireFly_for this the new one are great i think but not for the h100-remte
20:59:20_FireFly_remote
20:59:33shebbWell, I can try undefining that... I do not need sound for my current tests
20:59:37bger_cgiircyes, but the problem is that they are compile-time defined ...
20:59:47_FireFly_i know
21:00
21:00:56shebblear: autoconf.h already undefines this
21:01:55LearHm... Yes, the lib is unconditionally included in the makefile, I just realized.
21:01:56bger_cgiircany better suggestions than changing switch(button) to if-s or if-ing on remote type ...

21:02:16LearSo you could comment out that line in apps/Makefile, as a quick fix.
21:02:19_FireFly_bger_cgiirc: a other one on the h100-remote i push instinctively vol-up to move the cursor down
21:02:45bger_cgiircand it moves it up ?
21:03:07_FireFly_yepp that is confusing
21:03:16_FireFly_for me
21:03:20bger_cgiirc_FireFly_: any ideas ?
21:04:50shebbdo you mean: LDOPTS += -lwinmm
21:04:51_FireFly_and another one now you need maybe both hands to use it proper .... no sorry
21:05:01shebbCommenting out that gives me just other problems

21:07:02_FireFly_shebb: on your system
21:07:14shebbthat could be the case...
21:07:35_FireFly_because CreateCompatibleDC is an "standard"-fn under windows
21:07:35shebbI may be a little behind the times when it comes to the dev kit
21:08:43shebbwell, I can try reinstalling things and just getting by debugging on my h140
21:09:05bger_cgiirchm, maybe a mapping function ....
21:09:35_FireFly_.. which returns the mapping for the selected remote
21:09:42_FireFly_as an array or

21:10:25bger_cgiircwhat's the situation with h100 remote and original fw ?
21:10:34bger_cgiirchow does it behave
21:11:25_FireFly_ff/rew is used to navigate up/down

21:20:49Sanok..
21:21:00miner49erin this piece of code: if( test1() && test2() )
21:21:01_FireFly_but if we use en get_remote-mapping fn then we can't use switch for the button handling
21:21:13miner49eris test2 evaluated if test1() returns false?

21:25:51miner49eryeah, it makes total sense, but I wonder if there may be some cases where the programmer might want both functions run
21:26:12Bagderminer49er: then you write the program differently
21:26:17_FireFly_yeah
21:26:47_FireFly_save the return values in vars and check then the vars when the two fns should be always called

21:27:44Bagderthat is how the language C works

21:27:55Bagderit is not compiler specific

21:29:02miner49ersorry, subject change :-)
21:29:11bger_cgiircand on iriver __get_button is our function, that makes the mapping

21:30:47bger_cgiirci'll see tomorrpw

21:31:16miner49eroh, could someone with cvs write access make a little change and move the hiscore saving code from Snake2 into the hiscore lib (and pass a char* parameter)? Or should I raise a change request?
21:31:39_FireFly_miner49er: make a patch and post it on tracker
21:31:41miner49er...i suppose I should figure out how to make diff files really...
21:31:46_FireFly_;)
21:32:24_FireFly_if you have done your changes in a rb-source-tree which you had checked-out via cvs ...
21:32:44_FireFly_then you can type simply cvs diff -u > patch-file in the root-dir of the source-tree
21:33:30miner49erFirefly: okay, I will give it a bash, cheers.
21:34:53_FireFly_miner49er: otherwise you need a seperate unmodified source-tree

21:35:59miner49erI'm using cvs, so it should be straightforward...
21:36:40_FireFly_and then you make patches with this command: diff -uR <unmodified-source-tree-dir> <modified-source-tree-dir> > patch-file
21:37:37_FireFly_miner49er: you need the second methode if you have added new files or new directorys(at least for new directorys) to your local source-dir
21:37:45 Part shebb
21:38:38_FireFly_and then the needed additional diff option-parameter is -N (new-files)
21:39:05_FireFly_i have made a simple shell-script for the second-methode :)
21:40:26miner49eroh, right, so i need a whole 2nd copy of the source tree? so first I have to ensure I'm totally in-sync, make a duplicate, add my changes then run diff command?
21:40:41_FireFly_miner49er: yepp
21:41:39_FireFly_you can check-out the rb-sources into a seperate dir which you then can also easily keep in sync with the latest cvs on the server
