00:02:34dionoeaany idea what could cause a bmp->c file transformation to fail ?
00:02:42dionoeai get make[4]: *** No rule to make target `solitaire_numbers.8x10x16.bmp', needed by `/home/dionoea/rockbox/rockbox/builds/h3x0-sim/apps/plugins/bitmaps/native/solitaire_numbers.8x10x16.c'. Stop.
00:02:45midkaysharpe wants to see mine, right?
00:02:47sharpecorrupt bmp?
00:03:03dionoeais the gimp known to save corrupt bmps ?
00:03:10sharpebmp not actually there?
00:03:16dionoeait's there
00:03:28sharpemidkay: sure.
00:03:35*dionoea double checks the name
00:03:43Bagderthat's make complaining, it has no idea if the bmp is fine or not
00:03:43dionoeayep, filename seems ok
00:03:58dionoeawell i added the bmp in the SOURCES file
00:04:09sharpeah...

00:05:46dionoeaor maybe there's a hidden typo in "#if defined( HAVE_LCD_COLOR )" ... but i can't find it
00:06:10dionoeait should read "didn't help". sorry :/
00:08:24KalthareIs the pwd correct?
00:08:45dionoeais that question for me ?
00:08:48KalthareYeah.
00:08:56KalthareIt looks like make can't find the file. Maybe it's in the wrong dir?
00:08:59Mikachuyou mean cwd, pwd is a command to print the cwd
00:09:07Kalthareokay, whichever
00:09:12dionoeawell it's in the same dir as all the other plugin bitmaps which work fine
00:09:21dionoeaapps/plugins/bitmaps/native/
00:10:04dionoeahmmm ... nevermind
00:10:13*dionoea should get some sleep
00:10:25linuxstbI'm sure it will fix itself tomorrow...
00:10:47Kalthareeh, sorry for being unhelpful.
00:10:48dionoeawell the numbers bitmap didn't have a color version ... rha
00:11:07 Part Vasu
00:11:25linuxstbdionoea: Did it need a colour version? i.e. can't you just draw the mono bitmaps in different colours?
00:12:27dionoeawell maybe you want elite graphics with some nice 3D color stuff ...
00:12:39Bagderhey
00:12:42dionoea(that's hypothetical)
00:12:48Bagderelite graphics in Rockbox? are you mad!
00:12:51Bagder:-P

00:13:42 Quit bluebrother ("Leaving")
00:13:56KalthareIs it possible to make Rockbox use voice samples to announce song names when they start playing, or is it just for the menus?
00:14:53Mikachuyou would have to create a voice sample for every song...
00:15:20linuxstbYou mean you want a DJ introducing your songs?
00:15:48KalthareMore or less, yeah. Just when I'm using shuffle mode.
00:15:54Mikachuor possibly port a very simple tts engine like espeak
00:15:55linuxstb(btw, I think the answer's no).
00:16:26linuxstbYou can make Rockbox speak filenames in the file browser, but it can't announce tracks as they are playing.
00:16:44KalthareMmm. Maybe I'll try and add it.
00:16:44linuxstb(although it's possible, if someone coded it)
00:16:53Mikachulinuxstb: how does that work?
00:17:04Mikachupregenerated samples too?
00:17:23linuxstbI've never used it, but yes, they are pre-generated files.
00:17:37KalthareMikachu: yeah, they're MP3s. The instructions are on the wiki.

00:38:39sharpethe first one.
00:39:50 Part ]RowaN[
00:40:03KalthareMikachu: They all use different binary formats. Also, I used automated installers for all of them that pulled the devkits too.
00:40:47KalthareActually, I tell a lie. I think they mostly use ELF, but PSP and GP32 have them wrapped in custom formats.
00:41:00sharpelies aren't good.
00:41:00Mikachumy gba one is called arm-thumb-elf, not arm-elf
00:41:05Mikachuand i think i have one arm-agb-elf too
00:43:29Kaltharearm-thumb.. I think the GP32 used that too. Been a while since I used that one, and I don't even remember where it is now.
00:45:03 Quit klrspz ()

00:47:18linuxstbYep.

00:47:30 Quit Kalthare ("Download Gaim: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/")
00:47:34Mikachumaybe not as much reason to use it on ipod as on gba
00:48:26sharpea cooler sounding closing line would be, "Anyway, I've got to go get information before i spread more misinformation."
00:48:38Mikachuno, not really
00:48:50linuxstbI don't think Apple uses it, but other PortalPlayer firmware seems to - e.g. the Sansa firmware has some thumb code, at least in the bootloader.
00:48:57sharpenot for what he was talking about, but it sounds cooler.
00:49:09Bagderand so does the h10
00:49:23linuxstbBagder: Just in the bootloader, or is it in the main firmware as well?
00:49:43BagderI don't know, I only read Barry's description about the bootloader
00:51:07linuxstbOK. I think I looked at the H10 bootloader as well, and saw a very early switch to thumb mode, the same as the Sansa.
00:51:21linuxstbs/I think//
00:51:47Bagderyeah, I suspect large parts of the bootloader is from PP and thus similar between players
00:52:19Bagdersaw my latest finding about where the mi4 file is on the Sansa? when I "upgrade" to a new mi4, it gets moved
00:52:32Bagderand is to be found on the second partition of the device
00:52:39Bagderwith a little fluff around
00:52:56linuxstbYes, I read that... At least it confirms it's not flashed.
00:53:11Bagderwell, not flashed in that sense anyway
00:53:30linuxstbNo... A bit similar to the ipods.
00:53:43Bagderyes
00:54:19linuxstbHave you had chance to experiement with the LCD framebuffer?
00:54:28Bagderno
00:55:03Bagderthe bootloader doesn't even yet build properly, but when it does it should be swiftly done

01:16:28shammyHi, I just downloaded the ipod_fc source, tried compiling and instantly got a few hundred errors... any idea what I should do?
01:17:02desrtshammy; i'm guessing you should read directions more carefully
01:17:25desrtshammy; if you scroll up through the errors you will likely see something about a missing .h file. you're likely missing a dependency
01:17:49desrtshammy; but i know nothing about rockbox. just assuming using knowledge from unrelated projects

01:18:15linuxstbThere are no dependencies - apart from the standard C library.
01:18:18shammyhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallationFromLinux
01:18:51linuxstbYou're probably just missing the base development package. Which Linux distro are you using?
01:18:51desrtshammy; what's the first error message thrown?

01:19:03desrtyou may need to install a -dev version of your libc
01:19:50Mikachuthe makefile only runs gcc -g ipod_fw.c -o ipod_fw
01:20:32shammydesrt, amongst the errors i did find a block of missing .h files
01:21:09shammylinuxstb, ubuntu
01:21:10Mikachuit only includes stdio, stdlib, string, errno and unistd
01:21:11desrtshammy; right. that's your real problem.
01:21:24Mikachuif you have gcc, you should have those...
01:21:39desrtMikachu; gcc usually ships in a different package from the libc-dev packages
01:21:50 Quit mikearthur (Remote closed the connection)
01:22:13shammyMikachu, i have gcc 4
01:22:51linuxstbI've forgotten the name of the generic development package you can install, but try apt-get install libc6-dev
01:23:56shammyit's installing, thank you

03:12:40infamisplayback.c & pcmbuf.c? but where?
03:12:46sharpeyeah, but a person i know who says it...
03:13:14BigMacHMM...MR T?
03:14:23Febsinfamis, probably the best person to ask is Slasheri.
03:14:45FebsOr lostlogic, though he hasn't been around much recently.
03:16:03BigMacFebs:are you a dev or just a forum mod?
03:16:32 Quit spiorf ("Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)")
03:16:36FebsI consider myself a contributor.
03:17:02BigMacfor what models?
03:17:20sharpenope. not mr. t.
03:17:22FebsI do not have the technical skills to be a developer, but the project is of great interest to me, so I have contributed my time writing documentation.
03:17:56BigMaccoool cool
03:18:07BigMacim trying to learn c so i can do my part
03:18:42infamisI just wanna jump into debugging but playback.c is so huuuuugeeeeeeeee!
03:18:56infamisand it's like, damn, where do I start??!!
03:20:23infamisot: anybody run gentoo? gentoo > ubuntu?
03:20:41FebsI'm not sure what time zone you're in, but many of the key developers are in Europe, so they're not usually around at this time of night.
03:21:00infamisyeah, I'm chicago...it's usually busy around here at 4am (for me)
03:21:07Galoisare you looking for a distro flamewar or what?
03:21:10BigMacinfamis: im guessing linuxstb does
03:21:41infamisGalois, basically...just trying to decide getting back into linux after not dealing with it since '01
03:21:55infamisfeel lot's changed
03:22:04Galois in some ways it's a lot better and in some ways it has regressed
03:22:17webguest59regressed how?
03:22:32infamisdumb-downed?? ;)
03:22:34 Quit philth|work ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
03:22:45GaloisI would say the technology has improved dramatically but the political situation is worse than before (and I don't mean internal politics here, I mean corporate politics)
03:22:52infamis*dumbed-down
03:22:59infamislol
03:23:39Galoisdumbed down is not quite the right word for it. Some of this new stuff is so dumbed down that I can't even figure it out
03:24:13Galoisfor example, any vaguely modern distribution will autodetect hardware on the fly for you now
03:24:40infamisthat's bad?
03:24:41infamis;)
03:24:45Galoismost of the time it works great, but if you want to change anything in the autodetection, perhaps because it doesn't work or because you don't want it doing that, it's hard to change
03:25:20Galoisthe complexity of the underlying technology has grown even as the user visible part is supposed to be easier
03:25:58infamisyeah I remember when x11 took all day to build/install/set-up
03:26:19Galoisthe other day I popped in my external usb drive and the automounter conveniently mounted for me /media/disk /media/disk-1 /media/disk-2 /media/disk-3 etc. for each partition on the drive
03:26:41infamislol, damn those devs doing shit for you ;)
03:26:43Galoisand, to be honest, I don't know how to turn that off even if I wanted to (though, I haven't tried very hard)
03:27:30BigMacso is linux easy to get used to?
03:27:40BigMaclike going from windows to linux?
03:27:48GaloisI'm the wrong person to ask, I've had 11 years to get used to it
03:27:48infamisyeah I just feel getting back into linux will get me back into 'development mode'...messing with windows all these years has made me very lazy....
03:28:47Galoisthe legal situation is worse though. 10 years ago there was not really any such thing as illegal software categories
03:28:48BigMacbecause im building a computer and i feel that linux would be the way to go because it is free
03:29:12Galoisnow there are certain types of software that are illegal to make free, like dvd players

03:29:58infamisBigMac, be prepared to get frustrated like all hell when stuff doesn't work, even after you've tried hours to fix/install
03:30:03Galoisit's quite possible to build a computer for linux. You have to pay attention to make sure you buy hardware that has good drivers.
03:30:34BigMacthen not for me
03:30:48infamis...but it's a good experience though, that is if you're willing to learn
03:31:24BigMacill prolly hold out for the new windows and mac os' and see which better suit me
03:31:32infamisI don't know how old you are, but when looking for a job, employers find it attractive regarding your diversity with OSs & programming languages
03:31:57infamis...or even if you are 'in the field'
03:32:26infamisI mean; that is, if you're "in the field"
03:32:30BigMacyah im not old enough for the job yet...but i want to be a robotic engineer
03:32:36BigMacor some kind of programmer
03:33:09BigMacso once i get enough cash ill buy a ibook and vista desktop
03:33:10Galoisprogrammers basically live or die on free software
03:33:17BigMacand eventually build a linux pc
03:33:30infamisor you could go dual-boot
03:33:43Galoisbecause free software is written by programmers without customer pressure, so the authors tend to write the program to suit their own biases
03:33:53Galoiswhich, of course, are programmers biases
03:33:58BigMacyah i really want bootcamp for my mac
03:34:37infamisyeah, I tend to do things better (e.g., not the 'quick' or 'hacked' way of writing code) when it's not job-related
03:34:57Galoisit might even be fair to say that you should be concerned if you want to be a programmer and you find out that you hate free software
03:35:22GaloisI mean, even if it is frustrating, most of the time, a programmer type can figure it out
03:36:01infamisprogramming is all about compromise in my eyes...nothing ever works the way you want it to
03:36:20infamisor in other words, "there's always something"
03:37:07infamisjust testing color on the web client....
03:37:12BigMacyah except for simple flac conversionXD
03:37:21BigMaci cant find anything easy and good
03:37:35BigMaccant get eac to work
03:37:58Galoisuh: find -iname \*.flac -exec ogg123 {} \;
03:38:07Galoisby ogg123 I meant oggenc
03:38:31BigMacfor windows, and is this in the cmd
03:38:35infamiseac's worked for me, some drives it slows them down (a hard speed cap, not just because it's in secure mode, but a HARD cap)
03:38:51GaloisI'm confused, do you have a CD and want flac, or do you have flac and want something else?
03:39:02BigMaccd ripped to flac
03:39:12BigMacriptastic is awesome
03:39:21BigMacbut not free
03:39:22infamisfoobar with oggenc2.exe somewhere is what I do for transcodes
03:39:29Galoiswhat the hell is wrong with CDex?
03:39:36BigMacCDex?
03:39:43Galoisit's windows software, it's free, it does flac
03:39:46infamisGalois...it's just not EAC ;)
03:40:28BigMacill try CDex
03:40:31BigMacis it easy?
03:40:42BigMacand does it tag its songs buy itself?
03:40:58Galoisit used to use freedb for tags
03:40:59FebsI think that CDex's stock has risen now that a new version is out. It had been so long since it had been updated that its encoders had really fallen out of date.
03:43:40BigMacwow i really like this object dock program
03:43:49BigMaci wish their was a shortcut to show it

04:43:17BHSPitMonkeyI'm not sure that it even works in native rockbox.
04:43:44javkreithere is a plugin for it
04:43:47javkreimidiplay
04:43:57sharpedoes it work?
04:44:01javkreibut for some reason if it's a simulator build
04:44:10javkreiit doesn't work
04:44:23javkreisince I don't own yet a player with rockbox
04:44:29sharpeah.
04:44:45javkrei(although I have bought one, I'm waiting for it)
04:45:13sharpewhich?
04:45:18javkreiI was wondering if it works in the players themselves
04:45:32javkreiI bought an iriver H120
04:46:19javkreihas anyone tride?
04:46:21javkreitried?
04:46:41BHSPitMonkeyI know there's a plugin, I'm just not confident that it works
04:48:05javkreimhhh, for what I've been reading, it worked... in the past at the least
04:48:26javkreibut for some reason it doesn't reproduce in the simulator
04:49:24javkrei#ifndef SIMULATOR
04:49:40javkrei rb->pcm_play_stop();
04:49:58javkreiand so omn
04:50:08javkreiso... it's disabled for the simulator
04:50:34javkreibut not for the players... I'm programming a few plugins
04:51:08javkreiand I'd like to make use of the midi library
04:51:47javkreiand it would be very handy if midi reproduction worked in the simulator

05:31:16falconfoxthen in the upper right it had a hdd icon which lasted for about 15 seconds.

05:33:43falconfoxoh ok, well that crash was the first i got, usually it just doesn't work
05:34:10placebo_luHi
05:34:13javkreiI've just tried to build rockbox without the #ifndefs...
05:34:29javkreiand... well, as expected it doesn't work
05:34:47falconfoxok, well now all i am getting is that error
05:35:02falconfoxhow do i do a fresh install of rockbox, i mean getting rid of all the stored settings
05:35:18javkreiit seems that the simulator doesn't have the functions pcm_play_stop(..)
05:35:25safetydanfalconfox, what player?
05:35:34falconfoxipod color
05:35:45javkreipcm_set_frequency and pcm_play_data
05:35:53placebo_lucould anyone help me out? I've just put rockbox on my new iRiver H340 and it won't play my .ogg files. here is a link to what the wps screen says when I try: http://www.misticriver.net/showthread.php?p=481024#post481024
05:35:54javkreiI wonder why is that
05:36:03Mikachufalconfox: turn the hold switch on as you start rockbox, it will clear the config
05:36:27falconfoxMikachu: alright ill try it
05:37:24safetydanplacebo_lu, what program are you using to rip the oggs?
05:37:31placebo_luEAC
05:37:48placebo_luthey are 160kb .oggs
05:37:54safetydanHow old is the ogg encoder?
05:38:16safetydanRockbox used to have problems with oggs encoded with the pre-1.0 encoder (though that might have been fixed at some point).
05:38:26javkreinevertheless there is mp3 playback...
05:38:59placebo_lui downloaded EAC about 2 days ago
05:39:08safetydanjavkrei, I think those functions are too low level to be of use in the sim which is why they're not simulated. You could raise a flyspray issue and someone might try and fix it
05:39:09placebo_luso i'm pretty sure its the latest version
05:39:43safetydanplacebo_lu, if you have the ogginfo tool, try running that over one of the oggs
05:40:30placebo_lui don't, i'll get it now and try it out
05:41:32placebo_lucan you give me a link?
05:42:03safetydanplacebo_lu, I only know where it is for Linux
05:42:12safetydanYou didn't add ID3 tags to the ogg files by chance?
05:42:32falconfoxsafetydan: how come you love safety so much

05:44:12javkreibut there is another #ifdef which apparently avoids them being built
05:44:46safetydanplacebo_lu, try finding a tool to strip the ID3 tags off the files and make sure you don't encode any more oggs with ID3 tags enabled
05:44:52javkreiI've commented that too...
05:44:53placebo_luok

05:46:11placebo_luits odd, because they work when i use the iriver firmware :/
05:46:30safetydanplacebo_lu, oggs have their on tag format called vorbis comments
05:46:38placebo_luok
05:46:39BloodySorcereraka metadata
05:46:54safetydanMikacu, some software just slaps the ID3 block on the front or end of the file regardless of whether its actually an mpeg stream
05:47:11placebo_luok, thanks for all your help guys :)
05:47:22placebo_luesp. safetydan!
05:47:34Mikachusafetydan: heh, okay

10:35:52pondlifeI can say for sure it fixes a crash. But it may be a hack,. hardeep/lostlogic will probably need to confirm..
10:37:33pondlifeI'm not sure what is meant to provide the final Q_VOICE_STOP, but I suspect something is!
10:38:07amiconnImo voice is too dependent on playback state right now
10:38:15pondlifeI agree
10:38:22pondlifeIt should be a level above that completely
10:38:51amiconnI guess it's necessary to do the mixing. That should also fix things like voice not working during pause
10:38:58pondlifevoice > playback > pcmbuf
10:38:59amiconns/do/redo/
10:39:25amiconn...and clip preemtion, and latency, and....
10:39:35pondlifeI understand talk.c and a bit of pcmbuf.c, but playback.c is still mysterious.
10:40:34pondlifeI can say for sure that pressing stop during voice playback and audio playback (e.g. while filename is still being spelt) will end up in that yield() loop forever

10:42:51Bagderbecause we don't have MrH's real name and the code is not GPL'ed
10:42:52pondlifeMy suspicion is that hardeep was trying to catch the situation where no Q_VOICE_STOP was expected (i.e. queue_empty), but the logic is slightly wrong for this. And my suspicion is probably wrong too.

11:16:40Acksawhey guys
11:16:58Acksawim in need of some help setting up my EQ for my Sennheiser MX550's
11:17:08Acksawis anyone proficent in this?
11:21:06safetydanAcksaw, you might want to check the various forums and see if anyone's done settings for similar headphones
11:21:41Acksawi've looked over MR
11:22:20safetydannothing close?
11:22:24Acksawno
11:22:27Acksaw:(
11:23:11safetydanWhat part isn't working for you?
11:24:04Acksawnone
11:24:11Acksawi've just never set up an EQ before
11:26:50safetydanHave you read through the manual?
11:27:11Acksawno
11:27:21Acksawsince there isnt one as far as i know
11:27:57safetydanAcksaw, http://www.rockbox.org/manual.shtml
11:28:17Acksawand this is for the graphical eq?

11:33:48*amiconn wonders who did the ipod button assignment in grayscale.c
11:33:59amiconnIt's impossible to leave the plugin
11:34:32 Quit jn ("Lost terminal")
11:34:32dan_aThat sounds like something of an oversight...
11:35:12amiconnThe button is defined, but can't work that way
11:35:29amiconnIt's a dev-only plugin anyway
11:35:44*amiconn is working on the grayscale lib port for greyscale ipods
11:37:13*dan_a has a greyscale ipod...
11:37:20*amiconn knows
11:37:34dan_aThat's for things like Doom and Rockboy, isn't it?
11:37:54amiconnDoom, mandelbrot, fire, plasma, and the jpeg viewer
11:39:26amiconnRockboy doesn't need it, as a gameboy only has 4 levels of grey anyway
11:39:39dan_aIf you want me to test anything, let me know - although I can't do anything while I'm at work
11:40:13amiconnThis stuff should work on 3g the same way as on 4g and mini
11:40:17*amiconn has a mini2g
11:40:49amiconnThe only thing that should be tested explicitly on 3g is the lcd's internal frame rate
11:40:55amiconnI have a test plugin for this
11:42:41dan_aOK - I'll get that tested when the lib is ready

11:47:06dan_aWhere can I get the test plugin then?
11:47:21amiconnNow I need to try getting my head around arm asm...
11:48:25amiconnI can send it to you, but it will probably commit it to cvs along with the ported lib
11:49:02dan_aIt's probably easiest if I take it from CVS then
11:49:05amiconnI still don't know whether the lib will work as intended on ipod
11:49:34amiconnThe lcd hardware might cause unforeseeable effects
11:49:56dan_aWhy would that be?
11:50:02amiconnNo other way to find out that port and see
11:50:09amiconns/that/than/
11:50:25amiconnIt's because of the way the grayscale lib works
11:50:54amiconnIt does so-called temporal dithering, i.e. fast flipping through a number of monochrome frames
11:52:10 Quit safetydan (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
11:53:29amiconnFor one, this flipping must be in sync with the lcd internal frame frequency (or nearly in sync, as all LCD controllers I've seen so far use an RC oscillator which isn't very stable frequency-wise, and it's impossible to read back the current frame state)
11:53:33 Join safetydan [0] (n=dan@cor4-ppp3511.bri.dsl.connect.net.au)
11:55:04amiconnThere can be 2 caveats: (1) It might be impossible to do the flipping fast enough due to bottleneck(s). (2) The LCD may act up (showing artefacts) when doing the fast flipping

11:57:38amiconnYou can build & run test_fps.c for 3g to see how fast the 3g can update the lcd
11:57:59amiconnThe bottleneck isn't the RAM in this case
11:58:08amiconnIt's the PP LCD interface
11:59:10 Quit thegeek (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
11:59:11dan_aDo I just need to add test_fps.c to apps/plugins/SOURCES to do that?

12:00
12:00:35amiconnYes, that should work
12:01:28safetydanwhat's the current recommended version of gcc for m68k?

12:02:14safetydanis it worth upgrading from 3.4.5?

12:14:15safetydanamiconn, I think I've asked this before... are the grayscale lib displays supposed to "shimmer" periodicaly?
12:14:24amiconnyes
12:14:39*dan_a now has test_fps.rock to put on his iPod
12:14:39amiconnThat happens because of 2 effects
12:15:16amiconn(1) Slight difference between internal lcd frame rate and refresh rate
12:15:36 Quit aliask (Remote closed the connection)
12:16:17amiconn(2) Whenever data is written to the LCD GRAM position the LCD controller is displaying at that very moment, there is a collision which causes artifacts
12:16:37amiconnThese artifacts are black on the archos LCD, and white (and less visible) on the H1x0 LCD

12:45:14barrywardell_Hey Bagder
12:45:18Bagderhey ho
12:45:29barrywardell_i see you have a new mi4code version. What is updated?
12:45:30Bagdernoticed my mkmi4.sh?
12:45:41barrywardell_noticed that too. very useful
12:45:46Bagderbarrywardell_: the ability to set the plain text part
12:46:00Bagderpossibly we can skip the TEA encryption by setting the whole file as plain text
12:46:43Bagderset the plain text *length* rather
12:46:53barrywardell_i see
12:47:18barrywardell_not too critical to getting it to work on h10 or sansa though
12:47:34Bagdernot really, no
12:47:46barrywardell_I also noticed your new cvs commits
12:48:02barrywardell_Specifically boot.lds having crt0.o
12:48:05Bagderyeps, now I get a PP5022.mi4 out of my sansa bootloader build
12:48:14Bagderready to copy to target
12:48:26barrywardell_do you think it is necessary to have that for the H10 too?
12:48:49Bagderconvenient at least, and I think you just need to edit configure to have it work
12:48:57barrywardell_have you tested your new build on your sansa yet?
12:49:02Bagderyes
12:49:06Bagderbut nothing
12:49:17BagderI mean, I have no means to see if it works
12:49:33Bagderdoing LCD tests but no sucess yet
12:49:41barrywardell_i suppose without the lcd or disk it's hard to test
12:50:26barrywardell_i've edited my configure version to use mkmi4.sh
12:50:36barrywardell_much easier

12:52:01barrywardell_am I right in understanding that previously crt0.S wasn't used by the arm bootloader?
12:52:10barrywardell_but now it is?
12:52:54Bagderyou tried CVS up and rebuilt your bootloader?
12:53:21Bagderthe problem before was that crt0.S was not properly "pulled in" when I build the sansa loader, so I had to do this trick
12:53:31Bagderthe ipod loader fixes it by itself
12:53:56barrywardell_ah, i see
12:54:02merbananbarrywardell_: what happend to your H10 player ? did you fix it ?
12:55:21barrywardell_just got a build error (multiple definition of 'start') after CVS up and rebuild bootloader. that is what you are referring to bagder?
12:55:28Bagderyes
12:55:35Bagderyou're using the ipod way then I guess
12:55:53barrywardell_I have left lots of the ipod stuff there for the moment
12:56:10Bagderprevent boot.lds from pulling in that file and it should work
12:56:10barrywardell_merbanan: the hdd failed. I sent it back to iriver for repair
12:56:34merbananbarrywardell_: your fault or hardware failure ?
12:57:57sIRwa2damn, my jukebox usb is solderd to both motherboards
12:58:31barrywardell_merbanan: not totally sure. i was running code from rockbox on it at the time, but nothing I thought was dangerous so I suspect hardware failure

13:29:14markunoipp: the archos players we support are probably not the ones you are talking about
13:29:36oippprobably not yeah i realised from the screens
13:29:38Bagderright, archos gmini 400 and AV400 have the TMS320DM270
13:29:58oippo ok, rd2780 has Ti DM270 processor
13:30:10Bagderyes, that's the one

14:52:44dan_aCan anyone tell me if there are any major conceptual errors with this: http://pastebin.ca/113209 - the idea is that if the COP on PP-based machines is available, then the codec thread will run on it
14:53:10dan_aI know that there will be major problems in practice with doing that (like cache concurrency)
14:53:17dan_abut is the basic idea sound?
14:53:41linuxstb_dan_a: I haven't looked at your patch, but if you want to test your ideas, don't forget that you can disable the cache completely.
14:54:00dan_alinuxstb: Just by not calling ipod_init_cache()?
14:54:21Bagderhaving the codec thread there sounds like a plan
14:55:24linuxstb_dan_a: Yes. Your ipod will be dog-slow, but it will still work fine.

14:57:24Bagdertwo dogs carry bags better
14:57:56dan_aSomehow I can't believe it'll work, it all seems too easy.
14:58:48Mikachui thought the official stance was not to use the cop if it wasn't absolutely necessary

15:02:07dan_aI've got a vague plan to only use the COP if the CPU boost is very high, but that's for when I understand the code a bit better
15:02:38Mikachui don't think you can measure boostedness, the playback code will only set the boost flag once iiuc

15:11:59amiconnYay!
15:12:13*amiconn is looking at a working grayscale.rock on his ipod mini
15:12:18linuxstb_freqmod: My thoughts are that it would be nice to have our own Ogg parser optimised for Rockbox - for use by speex, vorbis and possibly the FLAC decoder. IIUC, your patch adds a second Ogg parser (libOgg) to Rockbox.
15:12:31linuxstb_\o/ How does it look?
15:12:43amiconnGrainy (the lcd internal frame frequency is way lower than on archos or iriver)
15:13:00freqmodi have moved the framing.c into libspeex, but I am positive to a ogg parser specific to rockbox
15:13:07 Join spiorf [0] (n=spiorf@host253-146.pool8250.interbusiness.it)
15:13:15amiconnI also suspect some controller setting to be sub-optimal
15:13:31linuxstb_That's no surprise...
15:13:33freqmodI tried to port speex to use the tremor parser, but it won't work because the buffers it delivers are non linear
15:14:00freqmoddoes flac support OggFLACs?
15:14:03javkreiHi, someone knows why midi playback doesn't work in the simulator?
15:14:22amiconnThe ipod mini backlight is very nice for greyscale
15:14:26javkreiand if it would be too difficult to fix?
15:14:48linuxstb_freqmod: No. Currently the FLAC decoder only supports native FLAC. But I'm not sure if OggFLAC is very popular - I can't recall anyone asking about Rockbox support for it.
15:15:06 Quit Moos ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
15:15:34freqmodno i don't think so, but then i cant steal flac's ogg decoder :(
15:16:37freqmodand tremor's will not work unless i reprogram the speex library, which leaves me with libogg, or a library written from scratch
15:16:38linuxstb_freqmod: I did start work on a from-scratch Ogg parser, but didn't spend much time, and didn't get very far. The aim would be to implement it without any malloc, and with the very minimal amount of copying of data.
15:18:29merbananlinuxstb_: as usual look in ffmpeg, the ogg demuxer should be quite ok
15:18:46linuxstb_But ffmpeg isn't afraid to use malloc...
15:18:50freqmodspeex would only need the framing.c routines (not the bitwise routines).
15:19:54freqmodwould api compatibillity (with libogg) or effectivenes be most valued?
15:20:46linuxstb_I didn't go as far as looking at the current APIs, so I don't know. Obviously maintaining the same (or very similar) API will mean no (or less) changes in speex and Tremor.
15:21:57freqmodthe biggest help in preformance was if the data could be keept in rockbox's file memory, not copied.
15:22:27*freqmod looks at http://www.xiph.org/ogg/doc/rfc3533.txt (ogg framing specification)

15:40:14ftugrul"keypress effects when backlite is off" is selected for lcd remote, but it's not working. is this common?
15:43:52infamisno h300 here
15:44:18linuxstb_ftugrul: Have you tried an official Rockbox build? We can't help with experimental builds.
15:44:31linuxstb_(but if the bug happens in the official build, we would like to know)

15:45:36infamiswait....what's an expiremental build? cvs + patches?
15:46:40ftugrulhmm, i have to try latest non-cvs build?
15:48:17infamisprobably a daily build or cvs build

15:51:45ftugrulok
15:53:56infamisdaily builds run at a specific time-of-day. there may be be commits after the daily build has run, so that's why the cvs-build is the most-up-to-date build.
15:53:58linuxstb_ftugrul: When you change between an official Rockbox and an experimental version, it's probably best to force a settings reset when you first start the new version - hold REC as Rockbox is booting.
15:54:54ftugruli'll just rename .rockbox and rockbox.iriver then install new build.
15:55:41freqmoddoes anybody know the rockbox buffering code. Would a 2xpage buffer, or up to a bage seeking backwars be cheapest?
15:55:53freqmods/bage/page/
15:56:04linuxstb_How big is a page?
15:56:45freqmodwhen ogg_sync_buffer reallocates pages it adds
15:56:49freqmodforget it
15:57:01freqmodit is the remaining of the buffer when all pages is removed
15:57:36freqmodi think it depends on the encoder, for a normal speex file 2,5 kb.
15:58:35freqmodthe question is if should implement a ringbuffer or tell the codec to seek(unused bytes) back and return data from there
15:59:12preglowi thought the pp5024 was very similar to pp5020. not so?
16:00
16:00:00freqmodpreglow:AFAIK the only difference is a broken cache
16:00:12preglow_pp5024_ has a broken cache???
16:00:26preglowsure you're not mixing it up with pp5002?
16:00:31freqmodprobably
16:00:32ftugrulok, it's fixed on official build.
16:01:41Mikachuftugrul: the settings aren't saved in .rockbox
16:02:00infamisisn't it in memory?
16:02:25ftugrulMikachu, will it remove my original h300 firmware's radio presets and rockbox radio presets?
16:02:37ftugrulif i reset settings?
16:02:42Mikachuno idea, i don't think so
16:02:54Mikachuthey are probably too large to be saved as settings
16:03:35freqmoddoes request buffer advance the buffer?
16:04:53freqmod(from a codec)
16:08:22linuxstb_freqmod: No. request buffer just gives you a pointer to the start of the buffer. You manually advance it. The buffer_read() function will both copy the data and advance the buffer.
16:08:53javkreicould someone tell me if midi playing is working in rockbox?
16:09:04linuxstb_But the idea is that you should advance it as soon as possible - to give the audio thread the ability to fill it with future tracks.
16:09:12ftugruljavkrei: yes
16:09:23ftugrulbut you need to get patchsets first.
16:09:33Bg3rftugrul: it shouldn't, but u must open the preset list manually
16:09:45javkreiok, thanks, so it's just in the simulator that it doesn't right?
16:10:06ftugrulsimulator?
16:10:34freqmodlinuxstb_:But i want to keep it unadvanced to advance it just as much as the codec has processed (right before the next request_buffer).
16:10:51freqmodwould that be worse than a ringbuffer?
16:10:55linuxstb_That's fine - most codecs work like that.
16:11:30linuxstb_i.e. they request some buffer (enough to guarantee it contains at least one compressed frame), decode it, and then advance the buffer "consumed" number of bytes.
16:11:49freqmodok, then ogg_sync_insert_reference takes the pointer from request_buffer, and then ogg_sync_get_advance returns the number of bytes processed

16:32:46amiconnHrrrrrrmmmm
16:33:01*amiconn found the problem of the heavy grescale flickering
16:33:26amiconnThe lcd internal frame frequency is significantly higher than I thought
16:33:29*freqmod congratulates amiconn
16:34:02amiconn...so high that we can't send one source frame for every internal frame :(
16:34:05JdGordondidnt you say it was too low before?
16:34:22amiconnYes, that was a measuring error
16:35:59amiconnWe can do every second frame, and that eats 75% CPU time - when boosted, on mini! :(
16:36:32linuxstb_Ouch... You do have a COP to use though...
16:37:00amiconnThat won<#t help
16:37:22amiconnIt'd still be impossible to drive every single frame
16:37:47amiconnThe lcd controller access is the bottleneck
16:38:02linuxstb_Yes, but it frees the CPU.
16:38:10amiconnWe can do ~60fps on mini when boosted, but the internal frame frequency is 88Hz
16:38:58linuxstb_So how does 44fps look?

18:01:17pioverwriting should be fine
18:01:22linuxstb_I always upgrade by just overwriting.
18:01:37moixaok, thanks. i was just wondering.
18:01:43moixawhere are the settings saved anyway?
18:01:50linuxstb_Sometimes a new version of Rockbox will reset your settings. So before you upgrade, export your settings to a text file using the "Manage Settings" option.
18:02:08moixaah. good point.

18:59:15FebsAcksaw: here's a good place to start. Band 0 is similar to the bass boost function, except that you have more control. Likewise, Band 5 is similar to the treble boost function.
18:59:55Acksawi just want a little more spark
19:00
19:00:01Acksawinmstead of a dull tone
19:00:39FebsIf you set the frequency for Band 0 to 300hZ, and the frequency for Band 5 to 1.5kHz (1500Hz), you will have an approximation of the bass and treble boost functions on bands 0 and 5.
19:00:58Acksawwell
19:01:03Acksawi actually have a EQ on foobar
19:01:09Acksawthat i'd like to port someone across
19:01:25FebsOK. That should be easy.
19:02:05Febs(though you may be more limited in Rockbox because you have only 5 eq filters)
19:02:18Acksawwould you like to see the setup?

19:09:44FebsHuh?
19:09:46Acksawas its on 3992 atm
19:09:54Acksawand i dont know how change the 2 to 0

19:10:45FebsDo you mean change 3992 to 3990? Or change from band 2 to band 0?
19:10:56Acksaw3992 to 3990
19:11:17FebsDon't worry about it. It's a .02% difference, which is probably completely inaudible.
19:11:21Acksawah
19:11:26Acksawwhat about band 5?
19:11:33FebsActually it's less than that.
19:11:52FebsThere is no band 5. It had a brain freeze when I wrote that above. It should be bands 0 through 4.
19:12:10Acksawi have 5 bars
19:12:26Acksawand you gave me up to band 4
19:12:28Febs0,1,2,3,4 ==> 5 bars
19:12:39Acksawwhat freqeuncy is 0?
19:13:06FebsConsidering that I suggested that you set the gain to 0, the frequency doesn't matter because you aren't changing anything.
19:13:13Acksawahhh
19:15:04FebsNow, all that said, I suggest that you do this: save the EQ settings that I just gave you in case you want to go back to them.
19:15:53FebsSet the gain for all channels at 0
19:16:32FebsTake channel 1, 2, or 3 (NOT 0 or 4). Turn the gain up fairly high (all the way to 24 if you want).
19:16:37FebsSet Q to about 5.
19:18:04FebsSet frequency at 50Hz. Gradually raise the frequency from 50Hz through the 18kHz (or whatever the top frequency is). Stop from time to time and listen to how the sound of your music changes.
19:19:00Acksawok
19:19:02Acksawdoing that now
19:19:26Acksawsounds like its echoing
19:19:27Febs(Alternately, set all of the slides in foobar to 0. Raise the slides one at a time. Then lower them one at a time. Listen to how the sound changes.)
19:19:53Acksawthat sounds reallly bad
19:20:03Acksawits like whistling
19:20:07FebsThe point is that by doing this, you will learn how the various frequencies affect the sound of your music, and you can then use that knowledge to adjust the EQ on your own.
19:20:39FebsBecause when it comes right down to it, there really is no substitute for listening.
19:20:58Acksawi just saved that eq
19:21:02Acksawnow i cant find it in the list =\
19:21:54FebsOne more hint: as you sweep from the bottom frequency all the way to the top, if you hear the music get suddenly louder, that is a frequency you should cut in your EQ. If you hear the music suddenly get quieter, that is a frequency you should boost.

19:24:28preglowFebs: for that to work reliably, the sweep amplitude should be adjusted by an equal perceived amplitude curve
19:24:48preglowif you just do a flat sweep, it'll sound like it does dips even if nothing is wrong
19:24:53FebsUnderstood.
19:25:26preglowunluckily, such a curve is dependent on sound pressure level as well

20:31:55Terinjokesyes
20:32:06pillthere is a mod to do on the ihp1x0 to allow charging via usb
20:32:46pillwould it be possible for rockbox to have a "Allow USB charging when plugged ON/OFF" so that when you plug your unit for like 3 minutes it wont start a charging cycle?
20:33:30Terinjokesi don't understand, you DON'T want it to charge?
20:33:39pilli dont want it to charge eveytime
20:33:49pillit would kill my battery

20:34:30bluebrotherI don't know the circuits but I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to prevent charging.

21:03:29dan_adionoea: Yes, just not the new bootloader with the old builds
21:03:35dionoeaok
21:04:46dan_aBasically, the new bootloader doesn't turn the coprocessor off - it leaves it up to the code to do that. If you use an old build with that then the coprocessor runs around doing all sorts of random stuff to data

21:13:13*amiconn made several today
21:13:30pepie34dan_a for now in ipodlinux it is even not pu to sleep
21:13:33pepie34put
21:13:50amiconnE.g., what is wrong here: for(i = 7; i >= 0; i++) ?
21:13:52*dionoea notices that numbers are always black now on color screen targets ... rha :(
21:13:58pepie34it is used as a kind of dma
21:14:06dionoeaamiconn: hehe, this is one of my favorites :)
21:14:07Mikachuamiconn: nothing if you want it to loop 2^32 times
21:14:16elinenbe_workamiconn: how far away are you from anti-aliased fonts? ;-)
21:14:26pepie34it enters a loop that copy the audio buffer to the codec device
21:14:35*amiconn slaps elinenbe_work around a bit
21:15:20pixelmanow I tried with a bleeding edge... if that's a hint: every time I put one card from the "draw 3 heap" away with "long left" (on Ondio) the last of the three vanishes
21:15:36*dionoea hopes that JdGordon's action keymap patch will be commited soon so i can clean plugins code a bit
21:16:22dionoeai'm wondering if i should go back to the old layout for the small archos screens
21:16:25*amiconn starts tackling unbuffered grayscale lib mode
21:16:26midgey34dionoea: are these of any use?

21:16:36dionoeamidgey34: i already fixed them :)
21:16:40dionoeanot commited yet
21:16:41midgey34well then
21:16:44elinenbe_workamiconn: hey... watch that! I just think that is resonable to ask of you :-)
21:16:45midgey34good job
21:16:46dionoeathanks anyway
21:16:48*elinenbe_work hides
21:17:01pixelmaand I couldn't access the very last card...
21:18:15Terinjokesi know this is kinda unsupported, but can anyone tell me how to add album art to a skin?
21:18:19dionoeawell i only changed display code ... i'll double check the diff
21:18:21amiconndionoea: Just a hint: the bitmap build system creates an appropriate .h file for every bmp it converts
21:19:15pixelmamaybe that bug was in before - I can't tell because I wasn't able to play that for a while
21:19:30dionoeayeah, might be
21:21:14dionoeahum numbers+suit height is just bigger than the card's height ... that's problematic
21:21:28dionoea(for archos)
21:22:51pepie34dan_a, may be i have an idea: we can set the interrupts table before wakig up the COP, trigerring a software interupt then put the cop up
21:23:31bluebrotherwould be nice if solitaire would use greyscales ... it's pretty hard to distinguish the colors here.
21:23:50pepie34I don't know where the pc is store before going into the interrupts on arm
21:23:52dionoeapixelma: hum, the play button thing is indeed weird. I think that it was already in the code before my commits yesterday... i'll try to fix it
21:23:58dan_apepie34: the interrupts table on the COP?
21:24:06pepie34yes
21:24:42pepie34I have a discussion with some guy involved on ipodliux
21:25:14dan_aIt's easy enough to sleep and wake the COP from the main thread now: you just set COP_CTL = PROC_WAKE
21:25:21pepie34and i told me we can either affect each interupt on cop or cpu

21:29:15pepie34my ida was to put the cop on interrupts as soon as it wakes up
21:29:27 Quit Terinjokes ()
21:29:31pepie34and as we can set the interupts table
21:29:33dan_a(I say this as someone who'd not looked at ARM ASM before a few weeks ago, and who hadn't done any programming for 5 years)
21:30:05pepie34we can make execute the code we want as soon as it wakes up
21:30:21 Quit mr_cheez (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
21:31:46pepie34the only dirty thing is to modify the pc that is saved somewhere (on the stack i assumed) for the interupt return
21:33:01dan_apepie34: The COP has its own PC
21:33:15dan_aIt's a complete second processor
21:33:30pepie34yes but when a cpu goes into an interupts
21:33:41pepie34it push the currnt pc somewhere
21:34:09pepie34to return to correct normal code after the interrupt s cleared
21:34:31pepie34on 68k it is on the stack
21:34:48pepie34don't know for the arm
21:35:50Mikachuthat is a clever trick
21:35:51pepie34usually all the proc register are push on the stack on interupts

21:37:18 Quit elinenbe_work ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
21:38:18pepie34the simpliest way to make the cop execute what we want after a wake up is to never return from interupt
21:38:22linuxstbAFAIK, the COP and main CPU share the same interrupt handlers - there is only one set of vectors.
21:39:03linuxstbInterrupts can be independently enabled for the two processors though.
21:39:15dionoeapixelma: i really can't find a pretty way to display both number+suit on the two lower cards from the remains stack on small screens
21:39:17pepie34and with the interupts enable mask we can enable one interupt only to the cop

21:40:21linuxstbpepie34: Yes, but what interrupt, and why? What's wrong with just setting a function and making the COP run it, which I think is what dan_a is doing.
21:41:00pepie34linuxstb may be it is power consuming
21:41:03pepie34:)
21:41:22pepie34no i just find the interupt thing a good trick
21:41:28dan_apepie34: Not if you do COP_CTL = PROC_SLEEP when you don't need it!
21:42:09linuxstbpepie34: It just sounds like a trick without a purpose...
21:42:18pepie34linuxstb thank you
21:42:20pepie34:)
21:42:35amiconnpepie34: arm uses shadow registers for interrupts
21:42:42Mikachucouldn't it be used to wake up the cop and gain control over it if the pc was unknown?
21:42:43amiconnDunno whether the pc is one of them
21:43:42pepie34linuxstb the ipl put the cop to sleep ?
21:43:50linuxstbIsn't it just FIQ mode that has the banked registers? AFAIK, a normal interrupt just uses the standard registers.
21:43:59pepie34how linux put the cop up ?
21:45:01pepie34Mikachu, yes it is what it was intend for
21:45:03pixelmadionoea: I try to think of something too... btw. there's also another small graphical glitch: there is no space between 1st and 2nd column, as well as 4th and 5th column
21:45:04linuxstbpepie34: Yes, IPL puts the COP to sleep. I assume it's woken automatically to handle the FIQs, and then sleeps again automatically when the FIQ returns.
21:45:33pepie34but i read the linux boot code
21:45:38linuxstb(but I haven't looked at IPL's FIQ code in detail - Rockbox uses the main CPU to handle the FIQ).
21:45:45pepie34and both proc are running at boot
21:45:45dionoeapixelma: yep, i fixed that :)

21:47:07*amiconn also encountered data aborts today
21:47:24linuxstbpepie34: Yes, I know.
21:47:48linuxstbThe bootloader wakes the COP up again before running the kernel.
21:47:58pepie34ok
21:48:03bluebrothernls, yup.
21:48:08pepie34that is what i did not understand
21:49:02pepie34so ipl can set the PC to (do a jump on) both CPU and COP from the CPU
21:49:30nlsbluebrother, I saw that the "Manage Settings" menu is under system options in the configure chapter while it's actually in the eop level of the menu... (it's in the right place in the "main menu" chapther tho...)
21:49:32 Quit Poka64 ("nite all")
21:49:47linuxstbNo, the way it works is that the COP puts itself to sleep. But the next instruction the COP executes when it wakes up is to load an address from a memory location, and put that address in the PC.
21:49:59nlstop level even

21:50:42bluebrothercorrect, that's wrong. Hadn't noted that before.
21:50:48nlsand I think we should move it but where?
21:51:57bluebrotherbtw, have you seen the ManualStructureTalk page I've set up in the wiki?
21:52:21bluebrotherI'm somewhat unhappy with the separation of the configuration in two chapters.
21:52:27dionoeapixelma: i might have a solution. I'll commit so you can give it a look
21:52:39pixelmanice :)
21:52:49dionoeait's a bit ugly ... but who cares ? :)
21:52:51nlshad a quilck glance but haven't read through it all yet...
21:53:19nlsI'll post ant comments in the wiki
21:53:23nlsany
21:53:35pixelmadionoea: it cannot be uglier than before, can it? :)
21:53:41dionoeai guess not :)
21:53:50bluebrotherhow about moving it to the main menu (where it's already mentioned) but separating the cfg file format out and put that into the advanced topics?
21:54:02dionoeaif that still doesn't work well ... i'll revert to the old (pre 1.20) layout for small screens
21:54:24bluebrotherI think we should make the wps section in advanced topics a bit more general ... cover cfg files, themes and (as a subset of that) wps.
21:54:28dionoeabtw, did you try doing a stack with like 6 unknown + 12 known cards on the last column to see how it looks ?
21:55:30nlsbluebrother, sounds like good ideas, I had that thought about themes and wps too.
21:56:58bluebrotherit's a bit the direction I tried to point out in the new structure proposal. Start as easy as possible with increasing difficulty level towards the end of the manual ;-)
21:56:59pixelmadionoea: I didn't count the cards but I had some "longer" columns - there was nothing odd that I would remember
21:57:01 Part pi
21:57:13Febsbluebrother: the configuration section was pretty much unworkable as a single chapter. We ended up with too many sub-sub-sub sections.
21:57:27nls:-)
21:57:58bluebrotherFebs, I know. But I also don't like the current solution. Time to find a better one ;-)
21:58:04dionoeapixelma: commit done. You can give it a try :)
21:58:25amiconndionoea: Why not make the cards _a bit_ higher for archos (to fix the 'falling out' graphics)?
21:58:27bluebrotherBut when we do a restructuring so that the basic topics are covered in the first chapters this might become better.
21:58:31 Quit lodesi ("leaving")
21:58:36amiconnCurrently the cards are wider than tall, which looks odd
21:59:08dionoeaamiconn: well making them higher means that you really won't see much if you have lengthy stacks
22:00
22:00:07amiconnI don't think it makes a big difference. Only the top card of each stack, and the top row of the screen (the draw stack and the final stacks) will become higher
22:00:21Febsbluebrother: I like the proposal to change the chapter names to remove "Configuring Rockbox" from the Sound Settings and General Settings chapters.
22:00:37dionoeaamiconn: well i'll give it a try if the current solution doesn't look good enough

22:04:59Hansmaulwurfjust a fast question, should the H120 disc continue spinning in USB mode with rockbox or should it stop spinning after a time not using?
22:05:39amiconnH1x0 continuously spins the disk in usb mode
22:05:55amiconnThis has nothing to do with rockbox, but with how the USB bridge is set up
22:06:08amiconnAlso happens in retailos

22:15:06dionoeapixelma: the only other solution would be to do like amiconn suggested. But i'm not 100% sure that it'll look better once you've drawn most of the cards
22:15:48amiconndionoea: How many pixels are missing to fix numbers and suits vertically?
22:16:13amiconnIf you make the cards 14x12 instead of 14x10, they will already be taller than wide on target
22:16:16dionoeai'd say like 2 to make it look acceptable, 4 or 5 to make it look good

22:22:33amiconn(1) The 4th and 5th column overlap by 1 pixel (one pixel border instead of 2)
22:22:40barrywardelljust looking at dan_a's latest commit of crt0.S, line 337
22:22:44dionoeahum ... the three draw cards overlap the spades stack
22:22:55barrywardellit looks a bit like the #ifdef's are mixed up

22:49:58KolyaApart from that it works great and looks even better.
22:50:04linuxstb_Where does code like FM tuner drivers, or audio codec drivers which might be used by two completely different targets live? Will that stay in firmware/drivers/ ?
22:50:14Bagderlinuxstb: yes
22:50:18dionoeapixelma: doesn't the current solution already look good enough ? :) (see my last commit)
22:50:27Bagderfirmware/drivers is for chip drivers
22:50:31barrywardellso stuff that is common to ipod/h10/sansa should go in target/*-pp5020.c?
22:51:00 Quit webguest60 ("CGI:IRC")
22:51:00pixelmalet me see...
22:51:06barrywardellI mean target/arm/*-pp5020.c
22:51:29linuxstb_Another complication is the pp5002 - a lot code is the same, but using differnt #defines from pp5002.h/pp5020.h.

22:51:41Bagderbarrywardell: *-pp50xx.c then I guess, or perhaps just *-pp.c
22:53:53Bagderit also struck me that functions like in i2c-pp5020.c probably shouldn't have ipod_* prefixes...
22:54:25linuxstb_No, that should be generic.
22:54:45Bagderwe should probably have a generic front end so that we can have the same function call
22:55:09Bagdernot that it is very important
22:55:36Doomedcan somebody help me with updating source with the CVS
22:55:47dionoeapixelma: ok, i'll stop solitaire changes/commits for today :)
22:56:00dionoeagood night
22:56:17pixelmahehe.. ok - thanks and good night :)
22:56:29KolyaI found a pitch control but that doesn't help with mp3 files playing at half /speed/. HElp anyone?

22:57:52dionoeapixelma: hum ... my solitaire.c commit didn't make it
22:57:59dionoeai'll commit it again i guess
22:58:30pixelmaI was already wondering...
22:58:43dionoeait should be fine now
22:58:54dionoeasee you tomorrow
22:59:40barrywardellmost of the stuff in the h10 target tree is just dummy functions taken from the ipod code with the contents of the functions #if 0'ed out
23:00
23:00:02Doomedwhere do i get the .cvspass ??
23:00:25Bagderbarrywardell: yeah, I think this early in the port work a build that links is prio 1, cleaning it up to be nice is prio 2 once functionality actually starts to show
23:00:44BagderDoomed: you "cvs login"
23:00:51Doomedook
23:01:07barrywardellok, so we can probably just leave things are for the moment. even if there is some code duplication
23:01:54Bagdersure
23:03:29 Quit freqmod ("Konversation terminated!")
23:03:41Doomedthen do i cd to where my source is and enter : cvs up -dP ?
23:03:52Bagderyes

23:04:41KolyaSorry people for bothering you but I can't find this in the forums nor in the wiki or google: On a fresh rockbox h30 install the audio plays much too slow. Can someone help me please?

23:06:29Doomedlooks like H10 is coming along
23:07:25FebsKolya: what type of file are you trying to play?
23:07:39KolyaFebs: MP3
23:07:58FebsAnd does this happen with all of your MP3s?
23:08:05Kolyayes all of them
23:08:10*barrywardell hopes his H10 gets repaired soon so he can get back to it!
23:08:27FebsHave you somehow changed the playback speed setting?
23:08:33*amiconn expects cvs conflicts :(
23:08:51KolyaFebs: I wouldn't know. But it's a fresh install
23:08:57Doomedbarrywardell did u have to pay to get it fixed?
23:09:03KolyaIt was like that from the start
23:09:36KolyaOtherwise the software runs fine
23:09:52FebsTry clearing the settings by doing the following: Turn the player off. Press Play/On to turn it back on and IMMEDIATELY press the record button until you see the message "Settings Cleared"
23:10:01barrywardellDoomed: don't know yet. I got a mail from iriver today saying they had received it and "Our technicians will keenly check and test the device"
23:10:10Doomedah ok
23:10:12Doomedgl man
23:10:53KolyaFebs: Thanks man, that did the trick. :)
23:11:15KolyaI wonder whyt I changed there...

23:12:06markunfreqmod: don't you like tremor's libogg because it's a bad implementation or just because it's non standard?
23:12:40KolyaWell anyway, that's some great piece of software you have written there. Thanks to all involved. :)
23:14:02freqmodbecause it is non standard
23:14:33linuxstb_Are you going to try to get Tremor working with your new libogg?
23:14:38freqmodand linuxstb wanted a unified libogg library before committing speex
23:14:40freqmodyes
23:15:22freqmodspeex works without a malloc (but it requires one ringbuffer :( )
23:15:42freqmods/speex/ framing in speex/
23:15:54preglowdoesn't tremor use a libogg2 variant?
23:16:24preglowin any case i think the tremor libogg is actually more efficient than the standard one
23:16:39freqmodi heard something about that... I don't know if it would be any better to port tremor to use libogg...
23:16:51freqmodpersonally i would think it is just a waste of time
23:16:59preglowagreed
23:17:37freqmodwhat does linuxstb_ think?
23:18:02linuxstb_I don't feel that strongly about it.
23:18:16preglowwhat would the benefits be?
23:18:39freqmodthen i wont, we are talking about changing 1500 lines of code + to remove 1000 lines of code
23:18:41 Join safetydan [0] (n=dan@cor6-ppp3022.for.dsl.connect.net.au)
23:19:16freqmodpreglow: one less memcopy per data, but a tremor codec totally different from the original code
23:19:43freqmodand 1000 lines of codes less in rockbox (if speex uses the same framing.c
23:20:51preglowi say forget it for now
23:21:01preglowthey're gonna roll out libogg2 after a while anyway
23:21:11preglowin which case it'll need to be done again
23:21:19preglowit's supposed to be better suited for embedded work
23:21:55*freqmod wonders if libogg2 supports whole raw packet contents linearly in memory
23:23:33freqmodThen, back to the reason for the libogg reimplementation, what needs to be done to make speex considerable for cvs?
23:24:07preglowdoes it crash anymore?
23:24:14preglowwhat about seeking?
23:24:34freqmodno, not as far as i know, and i have been using it a lot to play audiobooks
23:26:22 Join Alladin [0] (n=51e01e6b@labb.contactor.se)
23:26:47Alladinanyone who is able to help me with the installation?
23:27:13markunAlladin: which player?
23:27:24Alladinnano
23:27:56markunDid you try the installation howto in the wiki?
23:28:32freqmodworks, but takes some time. Does not work on files <1min.
23:28:45preglowfreqmod: why not?
23:28:53preglowfreqmod: also, didn't it have gcc 4 issues?
23:29:10freqmodyes, but that was a problem with passing a variable to sqrt for sterio
23:29:43pregloware there many stereo speex files around? :>
23:29:53Alladini just wonder how to do with the bootloader because i have installed already installed the "loader2" which makes me choose between ipodlinux and appleĀ“s original os
23:30:31Alladinit shall also be able to choose rockbox if installed...
23:30:45freqmodsterio still does not work quite right, but i have made a table for the most important cases, and a intSqrt function wich is farly accurate (but not enough for perfect playback)
23:31:07dan_aAlladin: I think if you have a "rockbox.ipod" file in your iPod then the loader2 will be able to boot it
23:32:12freqmodMy loader.conf, works with rockbox.ipod, however i have a farly new ipodloader 2 (cvs) http://pastebin.ca/114022
23:32:27Alladindan_a: so i just skip the bootloader part of the installation and juast runs the .exe file?
23:32:50freqmodjust download a .zip file and place it in the root directory of your ipod
23:32:50 Quit muesli__ ("ich will KEe!!!")
23:33:15dan_aAlladin: What freqmod said. But unzip it first! And get the fonts too
23:34:03freqmodspeex stereo are perfectly listenable. (and as jmspeex said stereo voice is not really much help)
23:34:11preglowheh, no
23:34:23preglowfreqmod: but anyway, i'm quite eager to commit it, and will look at it when i get time
23:34:30preglowwhich might be some time after the weekend
23:34:45Mikachucould be helpful if it's a dialog and the voice have their own channel maybe
23:34:48Alladinahaa. and what about the rockbox.ipod-file?
23:35:25freqmodI will make another patch (hopefully tomorrow) to import the new framing code, if it works when i listen to some audiobooks.
23:35:53freqmodhowever it is not tested on any players except ipods
23:36:00preglowfreqmod: has it been tested on something other than ipod?
23:36:03preglowah, right
23:36:08preglowi can test it on coldfire
23:36:23freqmodgood, would probably be quite slow

23:38:28freqmodyes i know
23:39:15freqmoddoes anybody know a way to test for edian problems on a x86?
23:40:47Alladinim sorry but im not so good at these things but here is what i deal with: I hve installed the loader2, downloaded the rockbox installer.exe and what im a bit worried for is if i just runs the installer the loader2 will not be able to boot rockbox... puuh
23:41:49freqmodalladin: download: http://download.rockbox.org/daily/ipodnano/rockbox-ipodnano-20060803.zip and unzip that in the ipod root folder (d:\ or whatever)

23:49:46Alladinfreqmod: do you think the loader will recognice rockbox automatically?
23:49:59secleinteerk thx
23:50:45freqmodi think so, you could try (and when you do, check your version of loader2)
23:51:19Alladinits 2.4
23:51:24*freqmod does not like the data abort the new framing library gives on ipod
23:51:38freqmodand rockbox does not appear?
