#rockbox log for 2006-06-19

00:00:09PaulJamthe test was about one year ago, with the stock battery.
00:00:30amiconn>17h with retailos _and_ backlight???
00:00:31Mekrobso is rockbox in the future for sansa
00:00:40linuxstb_liyang: Ignore me, I think it's the same application...
00:00:42PaulJam13 with backlight
00:00:46amiconnah
00:00:53*amiconn misread
00:01:11sharpelinuxstb: it is :)
00:01:23liyanglinuxstb_: ah, um.
00:01:23dionoea:q
00:01:27dionoeaoops
00:01:32liyangNow I'm really embarassed.
00:02:28liyangJust realised I had several versions of the iPod Updater and QuickSilver was running an ancient one.
00:03:58Mekrobanyone
00:04:11Mekrobis a sansa rockbox in the future
00:04:12markunMekrob: probably
00:04:20Mekrobor podzilla
00:04:23linuxstb_I would say maybe...
00:04:28Mekrobis someone working on one
00:04:31Mekrobi can help
00:04:59 Quit seablue ("the cool spot")
00:05:48markunMekrob: are you going to buy one then?
00:05:55linuxstb_Sansa have donated two players but zero in the way of technical documentation so far, and there is no public documentation available...
00:05:58Mekrobits looking like it
00:06:11Mekrobvideo and mp3 and other features
00:06:12BagderMekrob: http://daniel.haxx.se/rockbox-sandisk-connection.html
00:07:19linuxstb_Maybe sansa could write a bootloader for Rockbox...
00:07:33*amiconn is really curious what runtime we would get in radio mode
00:07:48*amiconn should probably perform one such runtime test as well
00:07:48Mekrobwho is the guy who talked to sansa
00:07:56Bagderlinuxstb: not a bad idea
00:08:00Mekrobits summer now so i can spend alot of time working on this
00:08:01BagderMekrob: me
00:08:18Mekrobso have you started to build it yet?
00:08:31Mekrobill help in anyway possible
00:08:32BagderI suggest you read that page
00:08:35Bagderand some links from it
00:08:41Bagderbut in short: no
00:08:48sharpe:)
00:09:10Mekrobaw
00:09:19Mekrobwell when and if you do im willing to help
00:09:24Bagderthen join in
00:09:41Mekrobbecause i guess ill just have to sacrifice rockbox until then
00:09:52Mekrobi dont see anywhere were i can
00:10:05Bagderwell, then you won't be of much use ;-)
00:10:08midkaywhat can you help with?
00:10:36linuxstb_markun: Any news about the gigabeat bootloader? I noticed the "todo" list is getting shorter...
00:10:50Mekrobi want to help
00:10:58Mekrobim getting the player
00:11:23BagderMekrob: we're so far merely investigating and trying to figure out the file formats used for firmware upgrade
00:11:45midkayMekrob, i mean, do you have any programming skills? anything like that?
00:11:49markunlinuxstb_: time and lazyness on my part are the only problems right now
00:11:50midkayin what way can you assist the port?
00:12:00Mekrobi know a little c++
00:12:06Mekroband rss
00:12:12Mekroband html kinda
00:12:18Mekrobim learning
00:12:24Mekrobi learn quick
00:12:53Mekrobif you told me what to learn i can learn it
00:12:58BagderARM assembler
00:12:59markunlinuxstb_: we have some problems reading the ADC values
00:13:24linuxstb_markun: Is that for the button driver?
00:13:31Mekrobok i will look into this when i get back from the grocery store
00:13:34markunlinuxstb_: and battery voltage we think
00:13:43Genre9mp3amiconn: A radio battery benchmark may take ages...
00:13:52BagderMekrob: we probably need to do a bit of arm disassembly to figure out things
00:15:01Kronuzthe issue of the sound stopping when scrolling doesn't seem to be an issue of the CPU being overused
00:15:03linuxstb_Mekrob: The first place to start would be to download the Rockbox source, read it, and build a UI simulator and play with that.
00:15:28 Join vesuv [0] (n=vesuv@p54A71F88.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
00:15:40vesuvgood evening
00:16:27 Quit SereR0KR ("XChat Aqua")
00:16:29markunKronuz: why do you think that?
00:16:45markunvesuv: hi
00:17:35 Part stripwax
00:17:49vesuvI'm kinda curious if somebody could give me a projection, when Rockbox will be released for iPod 3G?
00:18:10linuxstb_Currently there is no-one working on it...
00:18:12Kronuzmarkun: it seems for the anti-skip buffer (music seems to stop only when the auto-skip buffer ends)
00:18:25markunlinuxstb_: we now enable USB mode at the end of our little test 'firmwares' so we don't have to open up our Gigabeats all the time
00:18:36vesuvlinuxstb_: hm, that's to bad.
00:18:47Kronuzmarkun: maybe not :P
00:19:08lou(Kronuz) markun: it seems for the anti-skip buffer (music seems to stop only when the auto-skip buffer ends)
00:19:24loui did not noticed any difference when changing the skip buffer values
00:19:40louit still stops playing when i scroll through files
00:19:51louno matter how high the anti-skip buffer is set
00:19:52Kronuzyeah, me neither... it must have been a weird coincidence
00:20:15Kronuzbut after checking again it again stopped sooner
00:20:39vesuvWell, thanks for the information, anyway.
00:20:41KronuzI guess it has something to do with an interruption being handled too often during menu navigation
00:21:22Kronuzperhaps reducing the sampling of the wheel on menus, or making the handler faster...
00:21:34vesuvI guess, I need to find me a Windows PC to restore my iPod then.
00:21:39KronuzI don't know (I just found Rockbox yesterday evening :P)

00:24:50KoganeiRockbox doesn't support DivX playback on iPod video, right?
00:25:05liyangNope.
00:25:11Koganei=/ any plans that it will?
00:25:22liyangNot likely.

00:25:51liyangThat was short and concise.
00:27:22markunliyang: yes, good job :)
00:28:21linuxstb_markun: Have you done any LCD speed tests on the gigabeat?
00:28:22Kronuzlol
00:29:22vesuvShould I leave now, since I don't have any other questions? ,)
00:29:41markunlinuxstb_: the gigabeat updates the framebuffer to the LCD driver 30 times per second right now
00:29:50*liyang is planning on lurking until his connection drops out.
00:30:05markunI don't know yet how we can only make it update when we want to
00:30:11linuxstb_markun: So it's a memory-mapped framebuffer?
00:30:27*liyang ponders: How much effort would it be to give RockBox HFS+ support?
00:30:43Bagderlinuxstb: this much −−> <−−-
00:30:45markunno, it's in RAM and a dedicated DMA is sending it to the LCD driver
00:30:46Bagderarg
00:30:53 Join [1]ZenMasterJG [0] (n=Jordan@69.43.65.34)
00:30:53linuxstb_liyang: A lot... Especially for write support, which is what Rockbox needs.
00:30:57BagderI meant for liyang
00:31:05liyang(given the current status of Linux HFS+...)
00:31:18liyanglinuxstb_: thought as much. :-/
00:31:23Bagderwe have nothing in common with linux in the fs department
00:31:41Bagderother than that Bjorn fixed the linux fat too ;-)
00:31:52liyangwell, they're documented it, as it were, via the miracle of source code.
00:32:02 Quit heff ("Client Exiting")
00:32:08 Quit ZenMasterJG (Nick collision from services.)
00:32:17Bagderyes it is certainly possible
00:32:21Bagderbut still heaps of work
00:32:26linuxstb_Lots of Mac users would love you for adding HFS+ support, but IMO there are 101 more important things to do for the ipod port first.
00:32:36markunliyang: take a look at the S3C2440A user manual if you are interested
00:32:51markuneh.. that was for linuxstb_ :)
00:32:57liyangI'm one of those Mac users. =)
00:33:03liyangXD
00:33:58linuxstb_markun: I'm just curious at a high level... So in theory you think you should be able to manually start the DMA update?
00:34:04vesuvI wish I could say the same, my iBookd died a week a go :(
00:34:31 Nick [1]ZenMasterJG is now known as ZenMasterJG (n=Jordan@69.43.65.34)
00:34:36markunlinuxstb_: we can enable and disable the update interrupt I think
00:35:08***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:35:46Kronuzis there a developer around who knows about backlight?
00:35:54KronuzBL_IPODNANO is for iPod Video as well?
00:36:04linuxstb_Yes (to your second question)
00:36:17Kronuzwhy isn't it called BL_IPOD5G ?
00:36:28Kronuz:P
00:36:32linuxstb_Because it's the same as the Nano, and the Nano came first.
00:36:37Mekrobbadger
00:36:41Mekrobyou have aim?
00:36:41liyangWell...
00:36:47Kronuzlol
00:37:12Kronuzit's confusing, I think it should be changed to BL_IPOD5G
00:37:19Kronuzbut oh well :P
00:37:25BagderMekrob: if you're referring to me, I'm Bagder and I am on IRC only
00:37:40Mekroboh ok then
00:37:53Bagderwell, apart from email of course
00:37:59Mekrobi dont feel like registering my nick
00:38:07liyangVideo development started first if you look at their firmware version numbers.
00:38:12Mekroband talking in public is rather tedious
00:38:48liyangKronuz: #define BL_IPOD5G BL_IPODNANO
00:40:28Mekrobso i guess im out on coding the sansa
00:40:44Bagderyes
00:40:50Bagderyou're too picky and touchy
00:40:55Bagdergo away
00:41:04*Bagder gets annoyed
00:41:09Mekrob...
00:41:12Mekrobw/e
00:41:29Mekrobi dont particularly care i was just trying to help out
00:41:37Bagderand you whine
00:41:39Bagderall the time
00:41:45Mekrobyup
00:42:04Mekrobi guess your better without me
00:42:11liyanghis what?
00:42:45BagderMekrob: when you want to join a huge communty
00:42:55liyang(sorry, I'm being presumptious. But no girls on teh intarbutt &c.)
00:43:00Bagdera good idea is to at least consider the existing way of doing and talking
00:43:01Mekrobi already am a member of one
00:43:08Mekrobi am
00:43:16Bagdergood
00:43:26Bagderthen please show it
00:43:37Mekrobits just tedious if i have a question to ask you i have to sift through everyone else typing to find your answer
00:43:55Mekrobit would be alot easier to contact over an instnt message
00:43:56Bagderand I feel the other way
00:44:01BagderI hate private talkers
00:44:07Bagderwhen the subject is Rockbox
00:44:10Mekrobwell thats why i feel we cant coexist
00:44:28Bagderand that's why I said the above
00:44:29liyangFight to the death!
00:44:39scorcheMekrob: it isnt hard to pick out the answer if you preface it with Bagder:
00:44:42*Bagder looks at his +o status
00:44:51MikachuMekrob: there are irc clients that don't suck of course
00:44:55liyangBagder: I can see that. =)

01:05:55linuxstb_Apart from plugins, codecs, fonts,.... The core firmware is in the .ipod file.

01:06:17Kronuz(the wps, that is)
01:06:27Kronuzand menu, etc...
01:07:11peturKronuz: look inside the zip file and it will become obvious what's in it and not
01:07:30Kronuzit's not that obvius when you don't know the extensions
01:07:55linuxstb_Kronuz: Or looking at the source code, everything in firmware/ and apps/ (apart from apps/codecs/ and apps/plugins) is the core firmware.
01:08:24KronuzI see, that's what I thought, but I just wasn't sure
01:08:25Kronuz:)
01:09:25Kronuzdamn, the brightness patch for the ipod won't work for some weird reason

01:11:01austriancodermarkun: i know... had much to do with university this term... and i waited until iriver power problem was solved :)
01:11:02XavierGryeah! Hello austriancoder!
01:11:06linuxstb_Have you copied the .rockbox folder?
01:11:12KronuzI checked the patch line by line... I honestle does't see where the problem is
01:11:13sharpehmm...
01:11:23 Quit TeaSea ("Leaving")
01:11:34sharpewell, someone's posted about the pacman roms...
01:11:46Kronuzlinuxstb_: I tried it both ways... but after knowing what is changed and what isn't by the patch, I only need to update the .ipod
01:11:53Kronuzthe .rockbox is there too
01:12:04KronuzI even get a backdrop
01:12:19Kronuzit's really really weird
01:12:21linuxstb_What if you remove the patch and try compiling?
01:12:26Kronuzit works
01:12:37Kronuzit works without the patch
01:12:46Kronuzand the patch is like 8 lines long
01:12:49linuxstb_Where is the patch?
01:12:55Kronuzand it's very straightforward
01:13:13Kronuzhttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5234
01:13:54Kronuzit's actually a simple patch
01:16:06linuxstb_Try resetting your settings when you boot (turn on the hold switch).
01:16:44linuxstb_The patch changes the settings structure (by enabling backlight brightness) but doesn't change the settings version.
01:17:09linuxstb_This will confuse Rockbox...
01:17:32Kronuzhmm.. is there a way I can do that by deleting a file instead?
01:17:54linuxstb_No - but you can export your current settings to a .cfg file, then reload them afterwards.
01:18:07Kronuzno, I can't
01:18:11Kronuzmenu doesn't work :P
01:18:27peturuse a cvs build to export the settings ;)
01:19:00Kronuzwhat good woult that make if I can't import them on the patched version?

01:22:14Kronuzthere should be a way of forcing a clear by deleting some file

01:37:06Kronuzand how can you tell it to reserve it for audio? if it's not used then it's for audio or how?
01:37:09hardeephmmmm, actually, we probably don't need to modify the bg, as the wps already does that
01:37:13hardeeponly the fg needs to be set
01:37:32Genre9mp3yes..but what about the menus?

01:39:23XavierGryes
01:39:45hardeepmaybe the better solution would be to have a WPS-specific fg/bg

01:42:21Noah0504haha
01:42:28hardeepi thought we could already specify a backdrop just for the wps
01:42:43peturhardeep: yes
01:42:52Genre9mp3We discussed of making a "backdrop: " entry in the .cfg that clears the backdrop (if there is one)
01:42:53Kronuzwhat does the battery change if I change the value?

01:43:33 Quit obo ("bye")
01:43:36hardeepKronuz: it's only for calculating amount of battery life left...
01:43:43Genre9mp3hardeep: The problem is when you already have a backdrop and then load a theme that doesn't specify one
01:43:46Kronuzthat's what I though
01:44:04hardeepGenre9mp3: yeah, that's been an issue for a while
01:44:07Kronuzboth iPod G5 30GB and 60GB have the same battery?
01:44:28Genre9mp3Themes that are supposed to be used without a backdrop should somehow be able to clear it
01:44:58linuxstb_Kronuz: no
01:44:59peturGenre9mp3: I wonder if that problem still exists as I tried to fix it some time ago
01:45:21Kronuzlinuxstb_: then how I know I have the right one set? (capacity)
01:45:27Genre9mp3petur: I think yes but, let me check

01:46:51Genre9mp3petur: It doesn't clear the backdrop

01:47:05Genre9mp3You have to clear it manually
01:47:22linuxstb_petur: No, you don't want to clear every time you load a .cfg file.
01:47:28Kronuzlinuxstb_: good, thanks :)
01:47:58Genre9mp3A "backdrop: " or a "backdrop: no" entry would be fine
01:48:04peturwhat's the chance that loading a cfg will have the same backdrop?

01:49:38Noah0504Okay, one more question. If I just view tracks, it just shows the titles of the songs. However, if I view by albums or artists, the tracks have the track number in them.
01:49:50Noah0504What makes the difference?
01:50:16midkaythe fact that you're browsing from another mode..
01:50:37midkayit's not too useful to have track numbers in track browse mode.. since you'll have a ton of 01's, 02's.. etc..

02:04:28hardeepbut that's not going to happen pre-3.0
02:04:31linuxstb_Kronuz: Because: a) No-one has done it; b) Rockbox boots quickly, so no-one is interested in doing it.
02:05:58KronuzI can feel the HDD roaring very often
02:06:13Mekrobdoes anyone know were i can find some sansa e260 accessories
02:06:13Kronuzthat must be one of the issues why it drains the battery faster than apple's firmware

02:07:43Kronuzdon't know but it seems it's most of the time doing something on the hdd
02:07:55KronuzI can feel it

02:08:34Kronuz128kbps
02:09:17Kronuznot sure those are disk accesses (roaring is really low) but definitely there's movement inside (I can feel it)
02:09:19linuxstb_If you go into the audio thread debug screen, you can see how Rockbox is using its buffers, and when they are being filled.
02:09:46linuxstb_There are two main buffers - the codec buffer (for storing compressed data) and the PCM buffer (uncompressed data).
02:10:42Kronuzthe lower one (codec) it's always at about 80%
02:10:58Kronuzthe other one changes too much from 20% to 80%
02:11:08Kronuzor some times more or less
02:11:37linuxstb_And is the CPU boost percentage at 100%?
02:11:37Kronuzdon't know what that means though
02:11:45 Join dj-fu [0] (n=deejay@202-169-221-57.worldnet.co.nz)
02:11:46Kronuznope, 90%
02:11:50hardeepKronuz: what are the values next to codec: ?
02:11:51Kronuz91%
02:12:12Kronuzthey move too much... hard to read
02:12:20Kronuz(probably there should be commas there :P)
02:12:23hardeepKronuz: it should say X/Y
02:12:26hardeepwhat's the Y value ?
02:12:29hardeepthat should be constant
02:12:42linuxstb_The problem could be that Rockbox is struggling with your MP3s, and doesn't have enough CPU time to completely fill the buffer. So it never powers down the hard drive.
02:13:02Genre9mp3Anyone know if there is a way to force the status bar to update?
02:13:04linuxstb_But I would be surprised if that's the case with 128kbps files...
02:13:09Kronuzbout 49,000,000 I think for the one just next to codec
02:13:48hardeephmmm, are you running a version that has the 60MB buffer patch?
02:14:01hardeeper 64MB
02:14:15Kronuzyep
02:14:19Kronuz64MB patch
02:14:38Kronuzwhat's the boost ratio?
02:14:43Kronuz it's 83% now
02:14:44linuxstb_Are you still running that backlight patch?
02:14:51Kronuzyes
02:14:54Kronuzthe brightness
02:15:18Kronuzbut right now it's off, I'm reading the stuff with the backlight off
02:15:34Kronuz(so I guess the brightness it's not doing anything)
02:15:43dongsorly
02:15:47hardeepthe codec buffer should go down almost to zero before it reloads... something's wrong with the version you're using
02:15:53hardeepif it's staying at 80%
02:16:25hardeepi'd recommend trying the latest cvs build, to make sure it's not a problem with the patches you're using
02:16:38Kronuzbut what's the problem?
02:16:45Kronuzjust the roaring?
02:16:58Kronuzor how should that sound thread be working?
02:17:04hardeepif it's staying at 80% then it's constantly loading tracks off disk
02:17:19Kronuzoh
02:17:21linuxstb_The buffer should get filled to 100%, then emptied to almost 0%, then filled again...
02:17:26hardeepthe audio thread normally lets the buffer get down to < 5% or so before reloading
02:17:36Kronuzit's at 86%
02:17:45Kronuzthe codec bar is the ammount of buffer loaded from disk?
02:17:53hardeepKronuz: yes
02:17:54Kronuzlike 45/64MB ?
02:17:55linuxstb_How big is the playlist you are playing?
02:18:04Kronuzis that where the 86% comes from?
02:18:16Kronuzdunno.. probably about 2K MP3
02:18:19hardeepare you referring to the boost ratio?
02:18:27Kronuzyes
02:18:32Kronuz86% boost ratio
02:18:40hardeepthat refers to cpu boost, has nothing to do with buffer
02:18:46Kronuzoh, ok
02:18:48hardeepis the progress bar decreasing ?
02:18:59Kronuzso that's alright if it's at 86% (the boost ratio)
02:19:12Kronuzit seems the codec bar is decreasing slowly
02:19:24Kronuzyes
02:19:32Kronuzbut the pcm bar is crazy
02:19:37Kronuzgoes up and down
02:19:47linuxstb_That's normal.
02:20:01Kronuzand it's only 300K in size?
02:20:45linuxstb_I thought it was 512KB. But yes, that's the approximate size.
02:21:32KronuzI'm not sure the drive it's roaring, but it feels like something's moving inside (barely)
02:21:38Kronuz(most of the time)
02:22:03Kronuzmaybe moving the heads or I don't know
02:22:35Kronuzwhen should it read stuff again from the hdd?
02:22:41linuxstb_No, as hardeep said, if the codec buffer is stuck at around 80%, then the disk is constantly working. Which isn't normal.
02:22:43Kronuzwhen the codec bar reaches 0?
02:23:08Kronuznope, that one is dropping
02:23:11linuxstb_A little before 0 - so the buffer never becomes empty.
02:23:15Kronuzit's like on 65% now
02:23:33Kronuz(and constantly going down)
02:23:38Kronuz(the codec buffer, that is)
02:23:59linuxstb_Then that sounds fine and your disk should be sleeping...
02:24:09Kronuzit seems
02:24:16Kronuzbut I can feel it roaring barely
02:24:21Kronuz(I might be crazy :P)
02:24:33Kronuzbut I'm positive I do feel some movement
02:24:45linuxstb_Try again with a clean build and see if you get the same thing.
02:24:59Kronuz(might be my bloodstream, hehe)
02:25:29Kronuzis there no way of knowing if the hard drive it's spinning or moving heads, or something?
02:25:32Kronuzin the debug?
02:25:55smablyis the disk icon in the statusbar showing?
02:26:25KronuzI have a skin don't know if it shows on that skin :S

02:33:17Kronuzother than that icon on the toolbar?
02:33:27Kronuzwhat if it's just spinning?
02:33:28smablynot as far as i know

02:42:00KronuzearHertz: what's the line? in statusbar.c
02:42:36earHertzKronuz: got me. It's composed of a struct with the data, differnet fuictions for displaying each part, and a public driver function
02:42:56earHertzlook at the function for the disk
02:43:02Mekrobanyone know of a good screen protector for the e200 player
02:43:45earHertzMekrob: for my ipod, I constructed a case out of the cd protectors that came witjh teh ipod cds
02:44:03Kronuzthe wps is completely skinnable, are the file and menu navigators too?
02:44:11earHertzKronuz: no
02:44:15Kronuz:(
02:44:19Kronuzwill it ever be?
02:44:28Kronuzit sould :)
02:44:29earHertzThe navigation is all done in gui/list.c
02:44:42earHertzyou can put a background image on
02:44:43Mekrobear
02:44:45Kronuzperhaps it could be made more skinable
02:44:50Mekrobcan you explaain this more?
02:45:10Kronuzlike for changing the status bar
02:45:15earHertzlist/c is a general list displayer. It uses a callback function to get the data, and holds the list's state in a struct
02:45:22Kronuz(the icons)
02:45:28Kronuzas in the wps
02:45:47Mekrobno im talking about the screen portector
02:45:50Kronuzwhile playing you can change the battery icon, etc

02:45:52earHertzfor most list functions, there are actually two fucntions: the actual function that applies teh list to one screen, and a driver that calls that function in a lopp for all screens.

02:46:55Kronuzis statusbar.c used for the "while playing" too?
02:47:02 Part pixelma
02:47:13earHertzPut your device inteh pocket. Use cellophane tape to wrap off unused space. Cut holes for the earrplug ansd any other io ports.
02:47:25linuxstbKronuz: It can be, but normally a WPS will disable the built-in statusbar and do it itself.
02:48:07Kronuzand that can't be done in the menues, right?
02:48:15KronuzI think it should be possible :P
02:48:21Kronuzwould be nice
02:48:25Kronuzanyway
02:49:45linuxstbNot at the moment, but I'm sure it will come.
02:50:02Kronuzif the WPS decides to draw it's own status bar, how does it get the status values?
02:50:25linuxstbSee the CustomWPS wiki page.
02:50:43KronuzI meant at the sourceode level
02:50:45earHertzKronuz: embedde dspecial control seququences, startuing witth the percent sign, are subsyituted
02:50:58earHertzthe wps driver has acces to the values
02:51:05Kronuzit doesn't ge them from the statusbar.c, right?
02:51:13earHertzit does noty
02:51:21Kronuzit gets them as statusbar.c gets them
02:51:28Kronuzcalling the driver functions
02:51:32Kronuz(directly)
02:51:33earHertzprobbaly
02:51:50Kronuzso if we want to add the extra disk icon we would have to do so in two places
02:52:09earHertzKronuz: more or less
02:52:10Kronuzstatusbar.c and the WPS somewhere.c
02:52:29Kronuzvery very interesting :)

03:05:24smablypretty much, yeah

03:13:07earHertzKronuz: dunno. read yhe ,aminal

03:13:25smablyKronuz: crossfade vs. crossFEED
03:13:36Kronuzhmm
03:13:59Kronuzit's true
03:14:15smablyi don't use it, but i believe crossfeed mixes the left and right channels a bit
03:14:20smablydon't quote me on that
03:14:29ashridahKronuz: crossfeed feeds a slightly delayed and attenuated copy of the left channel into the right channel and vice versa, in order to simulate speakers to your brain (since most cds are geared to be listened with a stereo, not headphones)
03:14:48ashridahcrossfade fades between songs
03:14:55Kronuzoh
03:14:59Kronuzthat's interesting
03:15:13earHertzashridah: weird. is it effecrtive?
03:15:15Kronuzmaybe we should find a better name for crossfaded
03:15:25Kronuzblended or something
03:15:34Kronuzwould be clearer, I belive

03:16:48Ethanielcan I ask, if someone knows, what is the status of the project for my Player?

03:17:33KronuzMikachu: just realized, my mistake
03:17:44 Quit mirak (Remote closed the connection)
03:18:19Kronuzcrossfeed should be called blended, crossfeed... the names is too easily mistaked for crossfade

03:19:09smablyKronuz: google "crossfeed" - seems to be the standard name for that effect
03:19:29Kronuzyeah, you're probably right... I just got confused, never heard of it before
03:19:43Ethanielor anyone in this channel owns an iPod Nano? i ordered it yesterday from apple store
03:20:17Kronuzsmably: once you read it right "cross-feed" is quite understandable

03:21:41EthanielI currently own an old 3G 40gb one
03:21:48Ethanielnot supported by Rockbox
03:21:55ashridahEthaniel: actual status is probably best represented by the wiki on www.rockbox.org, specifically, http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodStatus
03:22:00Ethanielbut i ordered the nano, and I'll install rockbox on it, i wanted to know how is it
03:22:06ashridahbut it seems to suggest the 3G isn't working yet
03:22:09Kronuzsmably: I don't think I'll to be using crossfeed though... I like *crazy* left/right stereo sounds :P
03:22:19Ethanielthank you, ashridah, i check there, also i checked there
03:22:21ashridahyuriks: how do you mean 'ipod mode' ?
03:22:26Kronuzfeels weird to listen :P

03:22:39Ethanielyes yes I know it doesn't work, but if someone knows the status of the development
03:22:43liyangEthaniel: it works, but the experience is still smoother with AppleOS/iTunes :-/
03:23:00smablyKronuz: heh :)
03:23:04yuriksashridah: similar interface to the apple firmware
03:23:12yuriksthe current one is kinda confusing >_<
03:23:12smablyi think crossfeed also drains your battery a bit more quickly
03:23:14Ethanielwhat do you mean, liyang?
03:23:18ashridahhrm, the feeling i've gotten by watching CVS is that it hasn't been progressing, but that's partly because rockbox has been in an extended feature freeze while trying to get 3.0 out the door
03:23:29ashridahyuriks: apart from an ipod-alike WPS, not really.
03:23:31Kronuzsmably: but it does, it does make you dizzy :)
03:23:37yuriks=/
03:23:44yuriksI just had a killer ideia
03:23:54yuriksimplement iTunes functionality as a FUSE filesystem
03:24:12yurikswhere you would have an "Incoming" folder, where you put the music to install
03:24:18liyangEthaniel: you may be fiddling with it for a while before you're at all happy with the setup.
03:24:19Ethanielanybody here have got a nano=
03:24:25Ethanielnot on the garden, of course :D
03:24:46yuriksand a "Songs" folder that would contain the songs that are arleady on the iPod
03:24:55yuriksfor use with the original firmware and ipodlinux
03:24:58liyangI have a video which is identical (from RockBox's PoV.)
03:24:59ashridahEthaniel: there are a few ipod users who usually hang out here, this just seems to have been a bad time to catch them

03:27:14Kronuzis it enough by ctivating crossfade or do I still have to modify the "Fade-In/Out Delay/Duration" for it to work?
03:27:29Kronuz'cause those setting are set to 0
03:27:36Kronuz(by default)
03:27:39midkayyou need to set them appropriately.
03:27:54Kronuzdoes that mean it isn't working if I don't set them to any value?
03:28:00midkayright.
03:28:04midkay0 seconds of crossfade = no crossfade.
03:28:07Kronuzinteresting
03:28:23KronuzI think they should come with a better default value
03:29:14KronuzI understand duration, but delay is tricky to get
03:29:23midkaydon't bother with it then.. :)
03:29:45Kronuzshouldn't the values be in ms?
03:29:48midkayi don't think we should assume anything.. every user wants something different. 0 is a good starting point, the user should set it appropriately.
03:30:03Kronuzbut for newbies
03:30:03midkayshould they?
03:30:12Kronuzjust turning it on has no effect at all
03:30:29midkayif a newbie doesn't understand the word "duration" they certainly shouldn't understand what crossfade is. :)

03:30:43JdGordon1 exam to go :D
03:30:49midkaybecause there's more to it than just turning it on.. like there's more to listening to music than just buying an mp3 player.
03:31:00Kronuzit gets confusing (for new people) it would be better to have a default like 300 or 500 ms
03:31:11Kronuzbut also you can only select whole seconds atm
03:31:18midkaythat's intentional..
03:31:33midkay500ms is *really* short.
03:31:45Kronuzwell, it's not that short
03:31:52Kronuzthat's the value I use in winamp
03:32:19*midkay shrugs
03:32:26midkayi haven't tried it.
03:32:40Kronuzbut it's on the lower end... smaller duration it's just not noticable
03:33:19midkaylike the suggested-by-you 300ms? :)
03:33:25Kronuzyeah
03:33:30Kronuzbut I said 300 or 500 ms
03:33:57midkaymeaning you suggested 300.. not only that value, but you did suggest it.. never mind.
03:34:05Kronuzlol
03:34:32Kronuzit was as 300 *or*, not, better make it 500

03:41:19Kronuzthe boost counter
03:41:33Kronuzdo I have to do something to fix it?
03:41:42midkaythere's nothing to fix, really..
03:41:54midkayselect returns you to the standard boost-when-needed mode, iirc..
03:42:35midkaynah, Play.
03:42:44midkaymenu, then play.
03:43:16Kronuzboost counter 43
03:43:21Kronuzis there a limit?
03:43:34midkaynot within reason, but that's changing nothing at all, so you know.
03:43:51Kronuzwhen I change it to 0 the music stops
03:44:05midkaybecause that's 30mhz - too slow.
03:44:06Kronuzor stops more often when I navigate the menus
03:44:23Kronuzbut I don't get what exactly boost counter means
03:44:32midkayit's not significant..
03:44:39midkayjust know that 0 = 30mhz, and >0 = 75mhz.
03:44:41Kronuzso I leave it on 1?
03:44:48earHertzKronuz: even at 75MHz, you'll find teh music stops. The list and lcd code is just too slow
03:45:07earHertzKronuz: my lcd patch will help slightly.

04:13:18KronuzI suppose I have too many MP3 files
04:13:34KronuzI'll never ever be able to listen to all of them ^_^
04:15:39yuriksheh
04:15:51yuriksI just have the entire Rush collection I ripped from CDs
04:16:00yurikswell, I'm missing a few CDs, but it's mostly complete
04:16:10yuriksand that's pretty much what I lesten to =P
04:16:16KronuzI have like 50K mp3
04:16:22yuriks(Yeah, my musical tastes aren't that broad)
04:16:24yuriksOMG
04:16:34Kronuzmine neither
04:16:43KronuzI limit myself to a few groups
04:16:59Kronuzbut for some reason I have a big collection
04:17:09KronuzI'm *crazy*
04:17:58KronuzI guess I'm a collections maniac... I always collect stuff
04:18:17Kronuzit's like I have OCD or something
04:18:26Kronuz^_^
04:19:02yuriksheh
04:19:42Kronuzwhat's worse, most of the titles in my collection are ordered and with well formed and correct names :S
04:20:01yuriksheh
04:20:18Kronuzand most also have ID3 tags (I've spent days doing that, I'm sure)
04:20:21yuriksNaming music is a biatch, even musicbrainz doesn't helps that much
04:20:26Kronuzdon't even know why
04:20:39Kronuzas I've said so, I'm mad
04:20:48Kronuzit's like I start and can't stop
04:21:00Kronuz(until I finish) ^_^
04:21:12Kronuzthat's why I don't "start" anymore
04:21:22Kronuzbut now earHertz did it -_-
04:21:37earHertzhuh?
04:21:41Kronuzhe got me started again
04:21:49yuriks...
04:22:05KronuzI have big collections for lots of things
04:22:09earHertzoh, well, I don't do filesharing, and almost all my music Iis downloaded by album, not indivudually
04:23:01Kronuzwhich reminds me, I'll go mad when my HDDs die (I don't have any backups O_O)
04:23:40Kronuzwhat's a good way of doing backup of about 2TB of stuff?
04:25:02yuriksheh
04:25:03yuriksO_O
04:25:18KronuzI really shouldn't make backups... I'm getting sick, it's an illness of the mind or something. I'll never in my life have the time to "use" all that stuff, so why the hell do I have it? (it would be better if my HDDs die, maybe that cures me)
04:25:19Mikachutapes maybe
04:25:22yuriksI guess... buy 2TB worth of HDs and RAID them?
04:25:38Kronuzyep RAID
04:25:54KronuzI already have them in RAID but it's stripped
04:26:03Kronuz(not enough money for RAID5 :P)
04:26:20yuriksKronuz: haha, I keep all my downloads (all the little little programs, you know), I have 6 gb of it only
04:26:37Kronuzyeah, that too
04:26:51Kronuzthough I generally try to clean my downloads from time to time
04:26:59Kronuz(like a good maniac does -_-)
04:27:06yurikshehe
04:27:23KronuzMikachu: are tapes cheap?
04:27:35Mikachuno :P
04:27:39yuriksheh

07:14:16earHertzC99's been the standard for 6+ years, and I still can't write for( int i = 0 ;... ) in rockbox
07:14:32B4gder1 - we don't like that kind of code
07:14:43B4gder2 - we used to allow builds with non-c99 compilers
07:15:04*earHertz waits for 3
07:15:16B4gder:-)
07:15:29B4gdercan't think of a number 3
07:15:37midkay3 - c99 sucks!
07:15:42earHertzwell, I can understand , but you're implying that it's no longer operative/
07:15:43earHertz?
07:16:01B4gderyou mean number 2? I'm not really sure actually
07:16:51B4gderI know some people used msvc to build the sim on windows until at least rather recently
07:16:51 Quit Llorean (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
07:17:41earHertzmsvc still isn't standard compliant?
07:17:45earHertzsheesh
07:17:53bagawkI have had teachers that taught writting code in c99 style and 89 style. From what I have seen 89 is a better style, keeps you in good coding habbits
07:18:32B4gderI consider putting the variable declarations first a good habit
07:18:38B4gderbut c99 has a few other neatos
07:19:40earHertzBut the standards committe wouldn't have admitted for initlalizer declarations if they thought it a bad thing
07:20:12earHertzand it's a good thing, because it limits the loop counter's scope to the loop
07:21:04B4gderas someone who learned and wrote C code loooong before C99, that kind of code hurts my eyes
07:21:41B4gderbut yeah, I'm old and grumpy
07:22:06earHertzwell, it's understandable to be most comfortable with what you're used to.
07:23:37earHertzto me, decaring the counter outside the loop implies you'll use it outside the loop
07:27:28earHertzsince we're not using c99, how is it we have inline functions in the code? are we relying on teh gnu extensions to c89 for that?
07:29:14B4gderwell, we are using gcc in those areas and gcc handles that well
07:30:58earHertzmidkay: c99 doesn't suck. the standards commitee spent much time and effort on it, and the guys on teh commitee are gods among men
07:32:43B4gderbesides, with all the code currently written being (mostly) c89 I figure it makes sense to maintain that style/level

08:10:37Paul_The_NerdIt's quite early on the iPods still, so if you're impressed now, wait until it's at the level the iRiver ports are, or maybe even the Archos ones.

08:15:06Paul_The_Nerdnixternal: It's actually a limit for total size of all WPS images, if I recall.
08:15:37TR0N1CIt seems like the only way to put files on it is to boot into original (apple) firmware. Is that right?
08:15:41Paul_The_Nerdnixternal: It varies with screen size and color depth of the screen, but I don't remember the formula.
08:15:49nixternalwhat about dpi/resolution? im sure a 200x200 image probably won't fit, unless it scales it down
08:16:02nixternalok Paul_The_Nerd..i will keep reading the site..and trial and error
08:16:17Paul_The_Nerdnixternal: The screen on a 5G iPod is 320x240 pixels. 220x176 on 4G iPod (Photo/Colour)
08:16:31nixternaloh ok...didn't even think of looking at it that way
08:16:37Paul_The_NerdTR0N1C: Pretty much. When you plug in a USB cable it reboots into a disk mode that's part of the Apple firmware.
08:17:05Paul_The_Nerdnixternal: Images aren't scaled or transformed in any way, so all you gotta do is make 'em the right number of pixels for their purpose

08:37:46Paul_The_NerdIt's in the source archive, in the tools directory.

08:54:58Paul_The_Nerdimbrandon: Were you asking about one of the alternate bootloaders?
08:55:41imbrandonnot i , actualy just thought there was bootloader and bootloader2 ( i'm very new to this, been a linux hacker for years just got my ipod today thoughand exploring )
08:55:43imbrandon;)
08:56:27Paul_The_NerdThere's the official bootloader
08:56:32Paul_The_NerdWhich is just the Rockbox Bootloader
08:56:57imbrandonyea thats what i thought was bootloader2
08:57:02Paul_The_NerdThere's also "Loader2" which is the iPodLinux bootloader. It's a little more... it has an UI for picking your OS to boot, instead of just holding down the appropriate button.
08:57:14imbrandonahhh
08:57:22imbrandonthat might be the way to go with tripple booting
08:57:27Paul_The_NerdThe official Rockbox bootloader can do Rockbox, AppleOS and Linux.
08:57:35Paul_The_NerdAnd it's quite fast at booting
08:57:40imbrandonyea i noticed
08:57:41scorcheboth can support both ipl and rockbox
08:57:42Paul_The_NerdLoader2 takes a bit longer, but gives you a menu to choose.
08:57:44scorche...yeah
08:58:00imbrandonright
08:58:16imbrandonloader2 is grub"ish" i assume ( as in menu etc )
08:58:19imbrandonnot ness code
08:58:27Paul_The_NerdDunno, I've never used it.
08:58:50scorcheimbrandon: for the rockbox loader, holding nothing while booting will boot you to rockbox, holding menu > apple, holding play > ipl

09:03:13Paul_The_NerdHey, no fair counting the e200 already
09:03:18scorcheexcept e200 is far from being operational

10:17:06finikis there any special reason to have function read_bmp_file not to allow loading of bitmaps bigger than LCD? why should bmp loading library care about current system screen size at all?
10:17:32chendoare we gonna do anything about the record button on the h300?
10:17:38chendoi'd like to put it to use...
10:17:59chendolike instead of using hold to show alternate info on some wpses, have the record button toggle that
10:18:13Paul_The_NerdI'd say, short press = record screen, long press = LCD quickscreen
10:18:27Paul_The_NerdThe Hold on WPS thing is just a hack using existing WPS tags, it's not really a function of the hold button
10:18:43Paul_The_NerdYou could just as easily make it happen when the battery level reaches a certain amount, or the music is being fast forwarded.

11:19:04ashridahcan't suggest one that'll work with vmware, unfortunately.
11:19:15JdGordonuse colinux
11:19:22ashridahthere are some for colinux, etc, however

11:45:31petur*file = would be
11:46:08JdGordonwhats the file = "" for then?
11:46:51peturassigns it the address of an empty char array (string)
11:47:06*petur hasn't looked at the code at all
11:47:18JdGordonoh ok.. looks wierd to me
11:47:37amiconnIt isn't weird at all
11:48:47JdGordonno, i get it.. just hadnt done that before.. looks odd the first time
11:48:50JdGordonignore me....
11:49:31peturit becomes a bug if 'file' is a global var because the address of "" becomes invalid outside the function (again - without checking the code)
11:50:40JdGordonfile is in the funstion args, so shuoldnt become a problem there
11:51:57amiconnpetur: The address of a string doesn't become invalid outside the function
11:52:40amiconnThey're static, and included in rodata.str1.x

11:53:39amiconnpetur: A variable just declared 'const' within a function *will* become invalid outside the function. A string literal won't
11:53:50peturyes I know
11:54:04peturjust using the wrong words ;)

12:56:27JdGordonive had it disconnect when the battery got too low, and i assume it wont connect at all if there is no power from the batt
12:56:51Genre9mp3Quote from dapreview: "Ever since Apple released the iPod, people have tried to label players such as the iRiver IHP-120 as an iPod killer. Fact is, players like the IHP-120 are far too complex and, quite frankly, nerdy for the majority of the population. What most people want is a fashion symbol that also has seamless integration with music stores. Words like ogg and gapless are completely foreign to most consumers."

13:20:38linuxstbJdGordon: Yes, but I was thinking that maybe the internal dircache structures could be used (when available) instead of copying the information to the plugin buffer. But how fast is your scan with dircache enabled?
13:21:59JdGordonjust copyed it onto the dap, without dircache on its painfully slow (as expected)
13:22:23JdGordontook, maybe 0.5s with dircache on
13:22:53linuxstbWhat happens if you skip to a folder with no music?
13:23:16JdGordonit looks over the data untill it finds one with music

13:24:03linuxstbSo it chooses a random folder, checks if there is music in that folder, and then if not it tries again?
13:24:35linuxstbBut it sounds like the kind of patch I would use to play albums randomly.
13:24:38Genre9mp3saa[b_r]ider: Album art/Scrolling margins/EQ WPS tags/Backlight filter/List titles/Record button use in WPS/MOD & SID codec
13:24:59JdGordonye, it keeps looping over the folder list, it doesnt rebuild it every time.
13:25:12JdGordonit could actually be done better, but for the moment its god enough
13:26:33JdGordonjdgordon.homeip.net:8080/dump/random_folder.diff">http://jdgordon.homeip.net:8080/dump/random_folder.diff is the patch if your interested
13:26:46linuxstbOnly problem I can think of is that it may not work well on the Archos devices (32KB plugin buffer) and as you say, on devices without dircache enabled.
13:26:50JdGordoni forgot to change the strings to be translatable so its not on fss yet
13:27:03linuxstbI don't have time to look now, but I'm definitely curious to try it.
13:28:31tucozamiconn, around?
13:28:32JdGordonthe archos could be a problem. but it makes sure not to overrun the buffer, and ignores any folder starting with the . which saves a bit of space
13:28:37aliaskIs there any compelling reason to have dircache turned off?
13:28:50JdGordonye, on flash players which dont need it
13:30:42amiconnaliask: I always have dircache off. I don't like it
13:30:43JdGordonlinuxstb: if it cant get the plugin buffer should i fall back to the next folder?
13:31:19aliaskamiconn: On your archos, or iriver?
13:32:07JdGordonand do u use tagcache instead?
13:32:21*JdGordon finds everything too slow without dc on

13:34:12tucozamiconn, i am quite sure you know this, but when zooming out mandelbrot 11 times, weird things start to happen
13:34:23amiconnBut browsing w/o dirache just needs one spinup when I start browsing. That's a fair tradeoff for not wasting RAM

13:35:12amiconnIt produces weird looking images, but shouldn't crash

14:44:02aliaskIs there a reason backlight fading isn't on the H300?
14:44:45B4gderyes, hw restrictions
14:45:53ashridahit's using EL backlighting?
14:46:04aliaskI thought it was just a matter of setting the brightness quickly.
14:46:15amiconnNo, but it can only do a few discrete steps of brightness
14:46:20ashridahaliask: on the H1xx it's done using pulse width modulation
14:46:34ashridahwhich averages out to fade in or out
14:46:43ashridahwell. out.
14:46:44amiconn..and the pwm is done in hardware; the backlight isn't directly switched by a port pin
14:46:55aliaskAh ok.

14:51:49hardkaareB4gder, yes but there is no exe file, after the compiler has run
14:52:19B4gderI did it this very minute with gcc 4.0.4 just fine
14:52:23amiconnB4gder: 'implicit declaration' is a warning. 'incompatible implicit declaration' is probably an error

17:50:58FebsKronuz, that NoDo is already listed under the topic "Features we will not or cannot implement on the Archos line of players." How much more explicit does it need to be?
17:51:56tucozFebs, you have spent too much time in the forums :). the grumpyness reveals that
17:54:00KronuzFebs: explicit as it should say it will not be implemented for "devices using hardware mp3 decoders"
17:54:46ryranthat line confused me for a sec once when I was browsing around the wiki too...

18:02:21kristnjovhello.
18:02:21Mikachukristnjov: hi
18:02:47kristnjovi'm not sure what to search for in the bug section so i'll just ask here and see if anyone else has these problems.
18:03:28kristnjovwhen i have lots and lots of directories on my ipod video 30 GB and scroll down (or up for that matter) it just freezes
18:03:44kristnjovi'm using a daily build from a few days ago.
18:04:55Genre9mp3PaulJam: I don't have that...
18:05:15Genre9mp3Though, I still cannot play music after USB disconnect
18:05:29PaulJami had this error today for the first time
18:05:57PaulJambut i have never had the problem that i can't play music after usb disconnect
18:06:43Genre9mp3Also...if I try to reconnect the player Windows won't recognize it
18:07:14kristnjovGenre9mp3, i've had that problem before and if i rembember correctly i just rebooted and then it worked fine.
18:07:16Genre9mp3I have to reboot every time after USB connection
18:07:31Genre9mp3kristnjov: Yes, I know
18:08:51PaulJamGenre9mp3: after you disconnect, do you just hit the play button, or do you select a new song?
18:09:14ZenMasterJGkristnjov: you mean the playback skips? or the whole thing freezes?
18:09:35Kronuztalking about USB reminds me... there's a bug somewhere. When I connect my iPod to the charger (not to the computer) rockbox reboots and goes into "link" mode then, when it realizes there's no actual connection, it reboots again and the process starts all over again (it never gets me to the player)
18:09:50Genre9mp3PaulJam: Both not working I think
18:09:56Kronuz(after pressing buttons and stuff during reboot, I finally could get into the player once)
18:09:58kristnjovZenMasterJG, freezes. when i'm not even playing music.
18:09:58Genre9mp3But let me check...
18:10:37kristnjovZenMasterJG, this has been going on ever since i first started using rockbox and not until now have i had the strength to complain about it.
18:10:49Genre9mp3PaulJam: Yes...both not working
18:11:08kerbdoes rockboy support .7z?
18:11:13ZenMasterJGkristnjov: hehe, i donno, try a newer build, i guess. i've never had that problem
18:11:37Mikachukerb: most likely no compressions
18:11:55kristnjovZenMasterJG, something i might want to mention is that i have more than 100 (perhaps 200) directories (albums).
18:13:04Kronuzhey, how does the apple firmware goes to hibernation? just stops the decoders and shuts down the video and stops boosting the processor? 'cause I don't think it's storing the memory on hard drive
18:14:29MikachuKronuz: it doesn't store the memory until after 24 hours or so

18:14:45MikachuKronuz: the soft sleep lowers the cpu to 24kHz or so

18:15:45Kronuzback
18:15:58ZenMasterJGkristnjov: try a newer build, see if that helps. you might want to try and break those album directories up by artist too, that might help
18:16:34kristnjovZenMasterJG, i'll update the firmware (although i'm sure that won't work) and split it up and see if that helps
18:16:35KronuzI sort of like the apple's way to "turn off" the device it's much faster to turn it on (even when you "waste" batteries when it's supposedly off)
18:16:47Genre9mp3PaulJam: I'm wondering (can't think of a connection to that, though) if the Bootloader USB mode works for you (cause my does not)
18:17:28PaulJambootloader usb works for me.
18:17:28Kronuzand also, when you turn it on, there's no hard drive access (which could in fact kill the whole purpose of shutting the device off for real, depending on the use)
18:18:09MikachuKronuz: with autoresume i just press menu and put ti in my pocket, music starts 6 seconds later
18:18:36tucozis it just me, or is download.rockbox.org down?
18:18:45Kronuzthat's alright, but mainly what I don't like is the disk roaring
18:18:48kristnjovit's down
18:18:49Genre9mp3Damn...Usually such bugs that exist for some and for others do not are tricky to get solved
18:18:50XavierGrthe USB problems (both normal and bottloader related) are quite annoying
18:19:03XavierGron some units it just woks on others won't
18:19:09XavierGrit is very strange behaviour
18:20:17Kronuzsounds like an unneeded waste of 6 or 7 seconds plus unnecessary hdd access (for some, including me, would be better and faster just to go into a "sleep" mode, instead of actually turning the device off)
18:21:09Kronuz6 seconds are still 6 seconds, and the hard drive must start hard working on every "turn on"
18:22:31Kronuzanyway, about the usb charger rebooting the system.. (I wonder if it even is necessary to reboot after transferring files from the computer)
18:23:19Kronuz(I'd like to reboot as little as possible)
18:24:14Kronuzbut you know if it's a known bug or what? having a hard time making rockbox on the iPod having it connected to the usb charger

21:31:43KronuzI'm back again :)
21:32:05Kronuzhey, iPods have ARM processors, right?
21:32:13Mikachucorrect
21:32:21KronuzI read somewhere some iPods have two cores?
21:32:30Kronuzwhat's the processor model?
21:32:50KronuzI'm ready to get started on dual core support and suspend mode for ROCKbox :)
21:33:23MekrobANYONE HAVE A SANSA E200 SERIES?
21:33:27Mekrobsorry for the caps
21:33:48KronuzMikachu: (as a challenge too, as I've never programmed a dual core kernel)
21:36:03XavierGroh shit!
21:36:09XavierGrI deleted my mbr
21:36:17dionoeahaha
21:36:20Kronuzmbr?
21:36:23preglowKronuz: dual core support, you say
21:36:25XavierGrmaster boot record
21:36:29Kronuzlol
21:36:29Kronuz:P
21:36:34preglowKronuz: got any ideas on how you want to do that?
21:36:56Kronuzpreglow: some, yes, I've had some thoughts
21:37:01XavierGrwindows still recognize the partitions but partition magic sees the whole disc as unllocated disk space
21:37:15Kronuzpreglow: but I still have much to learn about the cores and how rockbox currently works
21:37:33preglowKronuz: i/we fefel that one of the cores should be dedicated to decoding audio only
21:37:40MikachuXavierGr: if you remember the starting block numbers just recreate the partition table
21:37:42preglowKronuz: which removes the need for a complicated scheduler
21:37:45Kronuzyeah, that's what I thought too
21:37:46juxtapMekrob, no, are they cool?
21:37:58XavierGrMikachu I dont!!!!
21:38:10XavierGrand all that to remove the grub bootloader
21:38:15Kronuzpreglow: but perhaps not even the whole core is needed for audio
21:38:19XavierGrnow if I shut down all will be lost
21:38:46Kronuzperhaps for video decoding the task could be split between the two
21:39:03Kronuzif we only knew about that other chip
21:39:04Mikachui wouldn't worry about video decoding
21:39:16preglowKronuz: oh, i think it will be
21:39:37XavierGrwhy oh why didn't I save the mbr first?
21:39:50preglowKronuz: perhaps, but let's please ignore video for the time being. rockbox is a music player
21:39:52*XavierGr pulls his hair out!!!
21:40:41Kronuzyeah, but I just want to keep it in mind
21:40:46preglowsure
21:40:58Kronuz(let's just not forget that there's video too while programming)
21:41:05preglowbut please don't overdo the thread scheduler, we want to know what threads can possibly run on what cores
21:41:11Kronuz(that's what I say)
21:41:23preglowthis to possibly minimise having to spill the cache all the time (the two cores have caches that aren't necessarily coherent)
21:41:29Kronuzit has two ARM7TDMI, right?
21:41:33preglowand to keep the complexity down
21:41:34preglowcorrect
21:42:30Mekrobanyone got a second or two that they can spare to help me find some info
21:42:50Kronuzpreglow: "we want to know what threads can possibly run on what cores" - what do you mean?
21:43:18preglowKronuz: we don't want the second core to run the main thread, scrolling thread, etc
21:43:25preglowKronuz: we want it to run a specific set of threads
21:43:42Kronuzoh, you mean to be able to choose on what core a thread is running?
21:44:02preglowmore like hardcode than choose
21:44:17Kronuzoh
21:44:27KronuzI was thinking as a parameter to the create thread
21:44:36Kronuz(don't know yet, 'cause not all devices have dual cores)
21:45:18preglowvery few have
21:45:31preglowonly portalplayer based stuff, which is right now, ipod
21:46:01Kronuzalso, I'm not sure how good is the code on that side (real concurrent access to memory)
21:46:17preglowbut yes, we really want dual core operation to be as specific as possible, ie. only codec thread on the second core, so we can optimise more easily and not implement resource intensive generic cases
21:46:40FebsMekrob, what do you need?
21:46:51Kronuzpreglow: is someone already working on dual core yet?
21:46:54preglowKronuz: nopes
21:47:01preglowKronuz: i've had some thoughts on it, but that's all
21:47:42preglowbut yeah, are you familiar with rockbox?
21:48:20Kronuzdamn, I feel guilty, I should be working and I'm playing with rockbox :S
21:48:38Kronuzpreglow: not particularly, I just found about rockbox yesterday
21:48:49preglowthen you should start to study how threading and stuff works, plus experiment some with dual core operation on ipod. currently, i've just put the second core to sleep
21:48:50Kronuzoh, wrong, almost two days ago
21:49:22Kronuzyeah, I've checked it a bit already (the thread stuff)
21:49:34preglowcrt0.S is where all the second core stuff is dealt with as of now
21:50:18preglowgood to know: cores are completely separate, share the same ram, but different caches, and the bus is not snooped, so accesses to the same memory should not be done by standard means

21:50:35preglowthere is a shared internal ram area that is not cached, however
21:50:53preglowbut this ram is also very fast, so we use it for codecs and such, so there's not really much left for cross-core communication

21:54:34menollook, my test is a bit working.. but does anyone know if it's posible to compile only the plugin? i'm now everytime recompiling the hole rockbox-simulator..
21:54:37amiconnPP5002 has a broken cache (1 waitstate), so it will make a difference

21:54:59Mikachui remember enabling ICODE for vorbis and not being very impressed, and also linuxstb talking about pacbox
21:55:38amiconnColdfire has instruction cache only, that's why it's way more beneficial to put data in iram than code
21:55:39Kronuzpreglow: I also want to add a suspend mode as the apple's firmware
21:56:04preglowKronuz: well, that should be far easier
21:56:06Kronuzpreglow: so that turning the ipod off would really just suspend
21:56:12Kronuzyeah
21:56:28preglowyou mean the fast wakeup suspend or the deep sleep one?
21:56:29*amiconn prefers poweroff over suspend
21:56:40dionoeaare ints on all the targets 32 bit ? (at least color targets)
21:56:41Kronuzspecially for me not having much experience (some, but not much) with processors other than the x86 family
21:56:51Mikachuthat could lead to some fun corruption if someone menu+selects to apple while rockbox is suspended and writes to the disk
21:57:04amiconndionoea: On all currently active targets, yes, but don't count on that
21:57:23Kronuzpreglow: still, I have a pretty good understanding of hos systems work and I find it rather easy to get started on new things
21:57:33preglowbut yeah, fast or slow suspend?
21:57:35amiconnThe gmini is 16bit (calmrisc16), and sims can be 64bit nowadays (even in the distributed build system)
21:57:42dionoeawell i'm doing some fixed point float calculations so i'd like as much precision as possible ( hsv <-> rgb conversions )
21:57:45Mikachui thought shut off and deep sleep were the same on ipods
21:57:48dionoeaelse my gradients look weird
21:57:51preglowamiconn: ints are 32 bit also on amd64
21:58:08preglowyou could of course build the sim on a sparc, i guess..
21:58:36amiconnpreglow: ints yes, but if you want 32bit on calmrisc and use 'long' for that, you'll get 64 bits and amd64
21:58:45preglowoh, indeed
21:58:54dionoeaas long as it's more than 32 :)

22:35:53amiconnBase is between 0.0 and 1.0 (0..255 expressed as integer). Exponent range must be at least 1.0 .. 2.0, better 0.5 .. 3.0
22:36:03amiconnIt's for gamma correction
22:36:34preglowbase varies, then it's harder

22:37:57obofixed point sqrt also
22:38:07KronuzI think the source code could use a major overhauling
22:38:19Kronuz(total rewrite would be an option)
22:38:38BagderI beg to differ
22:39:16preglowKronuz: i have a more general (but very probably slower) fixed point sqrt in eq.c
22:39:28preglowKronuz: why do you say that?
22:39:43preglowehh, that first was to obo
22:40:04Kronuzwell, just that I find it rather messy (with all the mixed code and stuff)
22:40:12preglowmixed code as in ifdefs?
22:40:21Kronuzwell, that too
22:40:25preglowwe have introduced a partial solution to that already
22:40:30Kronuzthen again it's a lot of work, and maybe I'm just a bit lost 'cause I'm really new to the code
22:40:30preglownot all code uses it yet
22:40:34preglowwhat other mixed code do you mean?
22:40:42preglowsaying it's alot of work is an understatement
22:40:46preglowit'd be a massive project
22:40:52Kronuzhehe :P
22:40:55KronuzI was trying to be positive
22:40:59Bagderand totally overrated imho
22:41:03Bagderrewrites usually are
22:41:19preglowwell, at least for most c based projects
22:41:34preglowrewrites can do wonders for oo stuff if you've gone with a flawed design
22:41:43Mikachuisn't splitting arch specific code in the todo for 3.1?
22:41:47preglowMikachu: yes
22:41:49Mikachui glanced over that page yesterday
22:42:21preglowKronuz: what other mixed code are you talking about?
22:42:31Kronuzjust re-thinking the whole architecture and improving upon the concepts with the knowledge already gained during the time rockbox has been living... then rewriting a clean design with lots of comments would be nice
22:42:58Bagderwe have a new arch structure planned
22:43:04Bagderand even started
22:43:14Bagderno need to rewrite for that
22:43:22Kronuzpreglow: maybe I'm confused about it, I told you... I've just started reading the source code
22:43:32Kronuzbut for instance the bootloader
22:43:37preglowstarting a rewrite would put rockbox in an even bigger hole than it currently is, if you ask me
22:43:45Kronuzseems it's on crt0.S but also in the bootloader directory
22:44:04preglowKronuz: lots of firmware/ code is used by the bootloaders
22:44:06Kronuznot if you do it in a new branch
22:44:14preglowcrt0.S is a special case
22:44:15Bagderyes then too
22:44:26KronuzI see
22:44:36preglowif we want a rewrite done, we have to force it
22:44:41preglowif not, it will never happen
22:44:43preglowyou can trust me when i say that
22:45:04KronuzI'm more used to c++ too
22:45:07preglowinterest will vanish in the project for a lot of people then
22:45:19Bagder*shrug*

22:46:02preglowi don't really think the code is very bad anyway
22:46:07Bagderme neither
22:46:12KronuzI didn't say it is bad
22:46:22Bagdersure it can use some polish, but the general state is not that bad
22:46:22KronuzI just say it could be cleaner
22:46:30preglowsure
22:46:48preglowand i say we deal with that in the more or less only fashion available to use: incrementally
22:46:51preglowas you go
22:46:59*Bagder nods
22:47:07preglowas with the playback engine most recently
22:47:37Kronuzso, tell me about the new architecture plans
22:47:49Kronuzare those already in a drawing board?
22:47:54preglowthe arch plans they're talking about involved moving all architecture dependent code into the target/ tree
22:47:55Bagdercheck the iaudio x5 file layout
22:48:03preglownope, they're already implemented for iaudio
22:48:08Kronuzoh

22:57:45preglownot that i knmow of

22:58:06Mikachuisn't the framebuffer in fact offscreen? :)
22:58:09dionoeaok, thanks for the answer
22:58:18KronuzI was thinking of having a different icon to state when the disk was just spinning, but not accessing anything
22:58:41dionoea(it's to add text support in rockpaint ...)
22:59:06preglowKronuz: currently, i believe the hd icon is meant to emulate the hardware disk activity leds on some devices
22:59:23preglowKronuz: and those only light up at actual accesses, like you've probably seen on pcs too

23:02:42Bagdersomeone mentioned one in the forums just now
23:02:46Kronuz('cause I think the wiki is wrong, there, but I want to make sure)
23:02:59*preglow knows nothing about wpses
23:03:06Bagder"Sony NW-A3000"
23:03:13preglowi like the coldfires :>
23:03:25Bagderhttp://www.theautochannel.com/news/2006/05/15/006748.html
23:03:33Kronuzaso, why is it not %cP uppercase PM/AM ?
23:03:42Kronuzoh, well
23:03:47Bagderpretty new announcement it is
23:04:42Bagder"Freescale provides schematics, layout files and component lists for a 1.8-inch, 20 GB HDD reference design that includes a color liquid crystal display and support for JPEG, MPEG4 and USB 2.0 OTG."
23:04:54Kronuzhmm... are there documents explaining what's going on on every step of the iPod booting process and beyond?
23:04:57Bagderit makes you suspect Sony did what? ;-)
23:05:12preglowwhat the hell is that playforsure shit?
23:05:16BagderDRM
23:05:22preglownice....
23:05:36markunpreglow: did your love for ARM cool down a bit?
23:05:44preglowmarkun: yeah, a tiny bit
23:06:06preglowprobably, with docs and a better hardware multiplier, i'd like it more
23:06:16preglowalso, i don't like load/store archs
23:06:18amiconnKronuz: Why do you need a separate icon for disk spinning? You can clearly notice when the disk is spinning, you don't even have to look at the unit...
23:06:45Kronuzamiconn: for the roaring?
23:07:02 Quit damaki (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:07:07Kronuzwell, it's hardly noticeable without the access "sound"
23:07:44Kronuzthere were some times yesterday when I wan't sure if it was spinning or not
23:08:05markunKronuz: how long is your spin down timeout?
23:08:15Kronuz5s.
23:08:29Kronuzbut for moments I thought it was still spinning afterwards
23:08:35Kronuz(and maybe it was)
23:08:46Kronuzthat's why an extra icon would be nice
23:09:19Kronuzmaybe the little disk for access and some other much less intrusive one for spinning (nothing when it's off)
23:10:48KronuzI'd change the 'I' for the hour (01..12) in WPS files to 'L' (hour 1..12 is 'l' and could get easily confused with 'l', besides 'L' sounds more consistent)
23:11:07Kronuz(but then again maybe not :P)
23:11:12*amiconn wonders whether the 1.8" disks in the ipods are so much different from the 1.8" disks in the irivers
23:11:56*preglow off
23:11:59preglownight
23:12:03Kronuz:(
23:12:07Kronuzoh well
23:12:10Kronuzg'night :)
23:12:28Kronuzpreglow: hey, just one thing before you go :)
23:12:46Kronuzyou know of any documents I might use to understand how the iPod boots and works, etc
23:12:58Kronuz(any information I could use for the ARM processors too)
23:13:24BagderKronuz: arm7tdmi (the core) docs are available
23:13:40Kronuzoh, yeah, I checked at Atmel already
23:13:48Bagdertry arm.com
23:13:57Kronuzbut applied on the iPod I meant
23:14:25Kronuzdocuments from reverse engineering
23:14:33BagderI don't think there are any such
23:14:41Bagderother than source code
23:14:42markunKronuz: perhaps at ipodlinux
23:14:52KronuzI found some about the boot process in ipodlinux source code, but not much
23:15:09Kronuzit would be nice to make one on the wiki
23:15:28Kronuznarrating step by step what's going on from the time you power the iPod :P
23:15:45Kronuzwouldn't it be?
23:16:09Kronuzperhaps one couold synch the narration to the source code files (for newbies)
23:16:22oboBagder: wikispam?
23:16:58Bagderhm
23:17:41Kronuz"and then the iPod copies the startup code to the 0x40000000 address and runs it from there, (crt0.S, line x-y)"
23:17:45Kronuzsomething like that
23:18:36Kronuzbut the whole process... "finally the Rockbox creates the scrloo thread, which it's for.... (file, line n)"
23:18:50Kronuzmaybe, that's just a thought
23:19:12Kronuzit would be nice to have something like that probably better to give just the filename and the function name)
23:19:16BagderI agree its a good idea
23:19:30Kronuzfor newbies it would be grat
23:19:36Bagderbut hard work to write and keep up to date
23:19:39Kronuzalso for those wanting to learn more about it
23:19:53Kronuzit would be hard to keep, but not too much
23:20:05Kronuzas the basic architecture wouldn't change offten
23:20:16Kronuz(if it changes at all)
23:20:24Bagderit does
23:20:27Kronuzexcept for dual core introductions and stuff like that
23:20:49Kronuzyeah, but keeping the narration in an abstract level, not procedural
23:21:21Kronuznot like "then line x does this and line y does that"... not like that

23:47:48Kronuzhey, is Rockbox making use of THUMB?
23:48:03Bagderno
23:48:22KronuzI thought so... it's just for reducing the code size, isn't it?
23:48:29Bagderyes
23:48:46Bagderbut since it is 16bit it is also generally better suited for 16bit memory accesses

23:49:26Bagderneat
23:49:47KronuzI still need to understand how the dual cores work (I've never programmed a kernel on dual cores)
23:50:15Kronuzthat's part of why I want to get into it (to learn something new)
23:51:36smablyum, so earlier i claimed that i was going to try learning the playback code...
23:51:43smablyi think i'm going to put that on hold for now
23:51:48smably(no pun intended)
23:51:53Paul_The_NerdThe playback code wins agian!
23:51:57Paul_The_Nerdagain even
23:51:58smablyheh :)
23:52:05Kronuzplayback code?
23:52:38Kronuz"A Broadcom Bluetooth chip"
23:52:48*Paul_The_Nerd must now go prepare to attend class
23:52:49 Part Paul_The_Nerd
23:52:56Kronuznot likely that one, right?

23:56:29smablyi noticed that one of the items in ReleaseToDo is "remote support for iriver"
23:56:29Kronuzso I guess it would be unlikely the Broadcom chip on the iPod is for video decoding
23:56:40smablydoes anyone know what exactly this envolves?
23:56:48smablyi know button mappings are an issue
23:56:54smablyis there anything else that needs fixing?
