00:00:28dionoeahum ... you can choose USB charge Amperage. Maybe that's why the ipod is slower when charging in rockbox compared to original firmware
00:00:36dionoea(maybe this is completely unrelated)

00:01:43Angryman_h10It has to do something with the disabling of the cpu frequency settings... Used my own rockbox.h10 and it works again
00:03:51barrywardellso maybe when we get cpu frequency working properly it will just work again
00:04:27Angryman_h10i think so... so no bug report ^^
00:04:32barrywardellfile a bug report anyway so that i can come back to it later
00:04:38Angryman_h10ok^^
00:04:44barrywardellmention that it may be related to cpu freq

00:06:55Angryman_h10In the jpeg.c it also looks which cpu is defined so it's nearby that this is the source of the issue

04:29:04BigMacso i wouldn't have to wait for people on the forum
04:31:43billytwowillyyou'll figure it out.
04:32:13billytwowillyit's cool that you're trying. I can't do anything with the wps stuff, so you're ahead of me;)
04:32:52BigMacthanks
04:32:59BigMacbut its not that hard
04:33:18BigMacits just stupid things that keep snagging me
04:34:43billytwowillywhen they get it working on the sansa e200 or the meizu miniplayer I'll try my hand at it;)
04:35:10BigMaci was originally going to get a sans
04:35:11BigMaca
04:35:20BigMacbut no rockbox support turned me away
04:35:54billytwowillyyah. I think dan_a and possibly bagder are working on it.
04:36:02billytwowillyhopefully soon.
04:36:11billytwowillyI haven't bought one yet. I have an ipod mini right now.
04:36:28billytwowillyI tried rockbox on it and liked it.
04:36:48billytwowillyI used to use rockbox on my archos jukebox 6000 back in the day;)
04:37:50BigMaccool
04:38:19billytwowillyI would probably stick with the original firmware on either of the previously mentioned players if they had bookmarking.
04:38:23BigMacanyone know a way to record an mp3/wav from whats playing on your comp
04:38:26BigMaclike a vid

04:41:38BigMacwhy are you on linux?

04:42:26billytwowillyyah, I figured it out.
04:42:36BigMacis it easy? on linux
04:42:37billytwowillyyou meant to say why, are you in linux?
04:42:53BigMacyes
04:43:03billytwowillyI dunno.
04:43:08billytwowillyI haven't had to do that in a long time.
04:43:13billytwowillythe last time I did it was in windows.
04:43:13billytwowillyIt might be.
04:43:22BigMacah nvm

05:11:16EV|ToshibaGalois, if I do a install under windows, will I be able to load files on linux?
05:12:37Galoisyes
05:13:05Galoisrockbox, unlike apple, is not evil. You can upload files using standard file copy.
05:13:47Galoisit would help if you describe why it's not working instead of just stating that it isn't working
05:20:34EV|Toshibaok
05:21:01EV|ToshibaI have a 30gb ipod photo...im using ubuntu linux to install it (I think i'll use my sindows machine to install rockbox then upload my media files from my linux machine)
05:25:35billytwowillyit's ridiculously easy to do in linux.. just copy/paste all the commands... you might have to change the /dev/sdXXXXXXX only.
05:26:00billytwowillyatleast, the tutorial was really good.
05:26:16EV|Serveruhh...
05:26:26billytwowillythe only thing semi confusing was when it linked to the windows howto to get the bootloader
05:26:33ShadowdogMUI need a good idea for a website, I am desperate and asking everywhere :P
05:26:45EV|ServerShadowdogMU, like what?
05:26:56ShadowdogMUAnything at this point, except porn
05:27:00EV|Serverlmao

05:27:23ShadowdogMUbut when I switched WebHosts I got a free domain
05:27:28billytwowilly1) take a picture of a midget doing complex math on a big blackboard. 2) Register www.midgetmath.com 3) profit
05:27:28ShadowdogMUand need to use it up
05:27:37EV|Serverbillytwowilly, xubuntu isnt letting me copy ANY commands..
05:27:52EV|Serverwell it lets me copy them, but terminal wont let me paste them
05:28:10billytwowillyEV|Server: what the gui for x in xubuntu? And why are you using that? Is your computer old or something?
05:28:27EV|ServerNot really.
05:28:31EV|ServerIts the only disk I had around.
05:28:43billytwowillyoh...
05:28:45EV|ServerAnd I kinda like playing with ubuntu. I'll be chaning it to something else soon. Probley zenwalk.
05:28:54billytwowillyyou should probably install gnome or kde (my choice)
05:29:09EV|Serverkde prolly
05:29:17billytwowillybecause you don't sound like a really advanced user, which is who xubuntu is targeted at I think..
05:29:31billytwowillyyou don't necessarily have to reinstall anything though eh?
05:29:44billytwowillyyou can just go sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop in the command line
05:29:54billytwowillythen it'll install all the kubuntu stuff.
05:30:19EV|ServerIm not really advanced user yet. I've used DSL for about 2 years..thats about it. lol
05:31:05billytwowillyyah... I am almost certain you don't want xubuntu... that's aimed at advanced users who don't want any bloat
05:31:19billytwowillyyou want something really user friendly like kubuntu or ubuntu..
05:31:27billytwowillyboth are nice. I like kde more myself, so I use kubuntu
05:32:05billytwowillyyah, go sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop kubuntu-default-settings
05:32:33billytwowillythen you should have a new kde install... you'll just have to change it so that kdm boots as default (i think that should happen when you install it) then tell kdm to load kde
05:32:41billytwowillyvery user friendly.
05:32:53EV|Serverok
05:33:16billytwowillyno reinstall required;)
05:33:30EV|Server:)
05:34:26billytwowillyI take no responsibility if it doesn't work though..
05:34:36billytwowillyback up your crap first, yada yada yada
05:35:53EV|Serverthere aint much crap on ere. lol
05:35:57EV|Serverits pretty much a fresh install
05:36:03EV|Serverwith xchat, and a few docs on it only
05:36:09billytwowillythen no problem;)
05:36:26billytwowillyif you are using kde you might want to check out konversation.
05:36:35billytwowillyonce it's up and running. kde xchat look alike
05:40:16EV|Server...errrr
05:40:32EV|ServerUsing windows I cant get the ipodpather 0 command to work either...WTF!
05:40:40EV|ServerI downloaded the three files.
05:40:50EV|Serveripodpather, ipod_fw, and that zipped file
05:42:26EV|Serverit says `ipodpatcher 0` is not a reconized command..
05:42:46billytwowillyit worked flawlessly in linux. are you in linux now?
05:42:47EV|ServerThink someone fucked up on their typing when they did the manuel..

05:52:15EV|Sindowsok
05:52:27billytwowillywhen apt is running it locks the package database so you can't install multiple things at once and break your system.

06:59:28EV|Sindowsalright, setup 4
07:00
07:00:11billytwowillyso now you have a bootloader that can load the rockbox firmware or the apple firmware. so now you put a rockbox build on there and you're golden.
07:01:22arpI was very impressed with how fucking easy it was to install rockbox.
07:01:32EV|Sindowsstfu
07:01:34arp?
07:01:34billytwowillyme too.
07:01:37EV|Sindows:P Just kidding
07:01:40arpmkay
07:01:45billytwowillythe only thing that confused me is the downloading the boot loader.
07:01:50billytwowillybecause it linked to the windows howto.
07:01:54billytwowillyand I was like "WTF?"
07:01:56EV|SindowsWell..now setup 4 is all I duno know..
07:02:00billytwowillythen I figured it out...
07:02:02arpanyway, I'm just annoyed that it doesnt have great support for the 3G ipod
07:02:25billytwowillyclick "daily builds" then download the one pertaining to you.
07:02:42billytwowillythen punzip it to the root dir of your ipod..
07:02:55arpso I dont actually run rockbox yet.
07:03:20EV|SindowsIt says i dont have to unplug it..
07:03:22billytwowillyyou haven't installed rockbox yet...
07:03:27billytwowillyyou did the hard part.
07:03:29EV|Sindowsbut then the first thing in setup 4 is to plug it back in
07:03:49arpI believe you have to extract rockbox onto the device now
07:03:49billytwowillywhen your ipod boots up there is a program that loads the bigger program that gives you the mp3 features.
07:04:08arpall you did was put the boot loader program which can load rockbox
07:04:13billytwowillyyou changed the bootloader from the ipod one which only loads the apple firmware to the one that can load rockbox or ipod
07:04:55billytwowillyso download the daily build that pertains to your player then type unzip whateveritscalled.zip /media/sda2
07:04:59EV|Sindowsok..
07:04:59billytwowillythat should probably work

07:05:56EV|Sindows /media/sda2

07:06:08billytwowillyyep. almost certainly.
07:06:18billytwowillyyou can ls /media/sda2 and see what it is
07:06:34EV|SindowsI got the zipped file save to the desktop
07:06:37billytwowillyif you see Notes, iPod_Control, Contacts and Calendar that's where it goes
07:06:58billytwowillythat's fine.
07:07:10billytwowillyextract the zip file to the root dir of the ipod....

07:17:56billytwowillyhold the middle and top buttons down.
07:18:13billytwowillyif you see some text instead of an apple you have the bootloader installed
07:18:17EV|xubuntui rebooted it
07:18:24Galoisturning it off and on is not the same thing as rebooting it
07:18:36EV|xubuntupressing menu and select
07:18:39billytwowillyif, after the second reboot, it doesn't show up rockbox then you farked up installing the rockbox firmware.
07:18:41EV|xubuntuthen when it reboots let go?
07:19:00billytwowillyyah, do that alteast twice

07:19:45EV|xubuntuthat damn apple logo comes up
07:19:47billytwowillyyou screwed up installing the firmware.
07:19:57EV|xubuntuthen it roolls into its hsitty ass software
07:20:07billytwowillyso you didn't install the bootloader.
07:20:10EV|xubuntuShitty*
07:20:15*billytwowilly likes the apple firmware
07:20:44billytwowillygo through the steps of the howto again. you missed something.
07:20:45*EV|xubuntu wants to shove it up apples ass..
07:21:04EV|xubuntualright, lets do it again. Hoorrayy.
07:21:14*billytwowilly thinks EV|xubuntu shouldn't have bought it if he didn't like the firmware
07:21:26EV|xubuntuWell i did for awhile
07:21:35EV|xubuntuuntil it started deleteing songs, locking up, and not working
07:21:42billytwowillynot all again. recopy the boot partition back to the ipod for starters. the new boot partition I mean.
07:22:39GaloisI bought the ipod for the express purpose of running rockbox, but then again I also know what I'm doing in linux, so ...

09:23:25amiconndebug_menu.c:129: error: 'struct thread_entry' has no member named 'priority'

09:25:04Bagderand I don't see how we can introduce a priority to the scheduler without bending backwards
09:28:21amiconnWell, I'm not fond of introducing priorities myself, but Slasheri's patch seems to work according to him, and I just wanted to test it
09:28:42amiconnPriorities are optional with his patch, and hence the archos scheduler would run without
09:28:42Bagderso how does the priorities work?
09:29:10amiconnThey are dynamic priorities, not static
09:29:11BagderI mean, how can you tell when the low-prio ones should get scheduled?
09:29:18Bagderand how are they raised?
09:29:20amiconnSo no thread gets starved
09:29:43billytwowillyyou guys must be in europe
09:30:04Bagderthere's something outside of Europe?
09:30:06amiconnYou could just check out the patch. It's not on the tracker, but available here: http://ihme.org/~miipekk/rockbox/scheduling.patch
09:30:22billytwowillybecause I couoldn't talk about what you're tlaking about at 2 am;)
09:30:32amiconn9:30 here
09:30:49amiconnApart from that, 2 am is a good time for coding...
09:31:30billytwowillyI'm vegged out by then. can't think, don't want to.
09:31:44Bagderwell, that's too not easy to tell by reading the patch I'd say...
09:32:26Bagderthere's not a single comment added to explain how it works
09:32:45amiconnIt looks like the priorities regulate the ratio with which the threads are scheduled
09:32:59amiconnHigher priority threads are just scheduled more often
09:33:31amiconnThe only dynamics outside the scheduler is the handling of the playback thread. If it runs low, it raises its own priority
09:34:03*amiconn checked out a 'test' working copy and applied the patch there

09:34:13*LinusN mumbles something about worms in a can
09:34:28BagderI don't see what good this will bring
09:34:33Bagdercompared to the problems
09:35:38amiconnWell, according to Slasheri it's a working approach against playback skipping
09:35:58amiconnI just wanted to test in order to have some facts for argumentation
09:36:10BagderI can understand that, but the question is: is it the proper fix?
09:36:36Bagderamiconn: of course, that's a good approach
09:37:01Bagderbut I rather start by examining the concept and theory behind it
09:37:07LinusNmy uninitiated guess is that the UI will lag behind when the codec needs cpu
09:37:20*midkay perks his ears at "approach against playback skipping"...
09:37:35amiconnLinusN: UI gets slower when the codec runs low, yes
09:37:54LinusNso what happens when the codec is really hungry, i.e non-realtime

09:59:39markunhi Jason

10:00:38Slasheriamiconn: it's not the newest but should work also
10:00:48Slasherii will create a new patch at evening
10:01:19Slasheriin fact UI should be even more responsive with the new patc
10:01:37LinusNSlasheri: do you implement a max-time to prevent starvation?
10:05:32SlasheriLinusN: yes, all threads get cpu time
10:06:02Slashericurrently that is (current_tick - last_run) > current_priority * 10
10:06:12SlasheriLinusN: if you can, please try the patch :)
10:06:17LinusNi must say that i'm *very* reluctant to introducing priority
10:06:28Slasherifor example running cube with the max boost mode, does not cause even q8 vorbis to skip
10:06:34LinusNi'd like to test the patch, if you can bring me the latest one
10:06:44Slasheriand check the improved debug menu for process stack also
10:06:53Slasheriit separates running and sleeping processes
10:07:08SlasheriLinusN: the one on the web should be working
10:07:50LinusNso what's new in your newer, unreleased patch?
10:07:50billytwowillyI wish companies developed their software like this. It's so cool watching the devs duke it out;)
10:08:36SlasheriLinusN: it has only some bug fixes and compiles better on different targets
10:08:40Slasheribut no new features
10:08:49LinusNok
10:09:04Slasheribut i need to go now, be back soon and check the logs later :) -|

11:16:40amiconnMy connector is still working, but a bit of plastic broke off the top. The remote contact is a bit loose, probably because of this

11:19:14LinusNSlasheri: read my questions earlier?
11:19:21SlasheriLinusN: true, that is just a performance thing so we don't need to go through the entire process list to find the highest priority. And running lower priority threads from time to time shouldn't be an issue because they are run anyway
11:20:03LinusNi see

12:55:09LinusNJdGordon: there shouldn't be a difference
12:55:58preglowlinuxstb: the lpc is definitely the bottleneck for 24 bit flac files. performance problems arise just about at the exact same spot in the file where lpc frames start appearing more commonly than fixed frames
12:56:24JdGordonLinusN: thats what i thought... but i get warning: excess elements in scalar initializer when i try to init the int*... ?

12:59:04BagderI don't see me ever changed anything darwin in there
12:59:05barrywardellthere are also some linking warnings about multiple definitions of functions (I think it was memset among others)
13:00
13:03:41preglowanyone have any ideas on what'll be faster? doing two separate mac chains with parallel loads for both the upper and lower part of the 64 bit result, or just using emac for upper part and mulu for lower part without having to load data again
13:04:44amiconnBagder: Hmm. Maybe that totoetlititi used a patch before, which now doesn't apply anymore because configure changed
13:05:10amiconnHe should have statet this though
13:05:22Bagderyeah, it might be that macos patch barrywardell talks about
13:05:50amiconnpreglow: It probably depends on where the data is read from. If it's SDRAM, loading once should be substantially faster
13:05:56linuxstbbarrywardell: Were you able to reliably crash your H10 when enabling cpu frequency scaling?
13:06:18***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
13:06:30barrywardellnot necessarily reliably, but disabling scaling stopped the crashes
13:07:12preglowamiconn: should be iram on most targets
13:08:19barrywardellanother thing was that TrueJournals said he had changed boost to 0 in the debug menu. changing it to 1 stopped the crashes even with scaling enabled
13:09:26linuxstbManually setting the boost count to 1 is the same thing as disabling the scaling - the CPU will just run at a constant 75MHz.
13:09:44barrywardelllinuxstb: kernel.c:397. Should that be |= instead of =? It says it should be in system.c:1273
13:10:12linuxstbI think so. Have you tried it?
13:10:35barrywardellit doesn't cause any new problems
13:10:52barrywardellthe crashes are intermittent so i'm not sure if it helps them
13:12:08linuxstbIMHO you should have left the CPU scaling in CVS - to help debug it.
13:12:45dan_alinuxstb: From the comment in system.c it looks like = instead of |= was intentional in a lot of places - is that just something we've copied from IPL?
13:13:08preglowamiconn: on second thought, the mac chain approach is probably faster, yes. a 32 bit mac has a 1 cycle throughput if you chain lots of them, but a mulu always takes about 3-4 cycles, i think
13:13:36linuxstbdan_a: I'm not sure - I didn't copy those parts of the code. The comments in system.c are mine though.

13:41:28aliaskAt the moment the cards are spaced to take up the full height of the screen, and I don't really like it like that.
13:41:34linuxstbpreglow: Looking at the code and the spec (http://flac.sourceforge.net/format.html#subframe_lpc), I would guess the answer is yes.
13:41:45aliaskIs it possible to adjust the spacing?
13:42:03linuxstbpreglow: Although it seems the shift can be negative - but our decoder doesn't allow it.
13:42:31dionoeayeah, i though about adding a max spacing between cards
13:42:57CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
13:42:57*amiconn likes how solitaire looks on the h300
13:43:15aliaskI much preferred the old spacings before the rework.
13:43:18dionoeai also noticed a bug in 3 cards mode
13:43:27dionoeamust be from one of my commits yesterday
13:44:44dionoeaaliask: i'll do the max spacing thing
13:44:51aliaskThat'd be great :)
13:45:15aliaskI'd say at least 50% of the time actually using the player would be in that plugin.
13:45:33dionoeai use the chopper plugin a lot too :)
13:45:39preglowlinuxstb: negative? sounds weird
13:45:42dionoeabut that's not commited yet

13:58:34amiconnpreglow: The same way you said that for 16bit it is possible to use 16x16->32 multiplications...
13:59:48preglowi _think_ it's possible. i did a test once, and it sounded just fine
13:59:57preglowi should investigate that further
14:00
14:00:19preglowanyway, it all depends on the size of the shift
14:04:14preglowaccording to the same spec page linuxstb pasted, it does seem like it. what gets multiplied is coefs and samples, the samples are 16 bit or lower in that case and coefs can't be any more than fifteen bits, it seems
14:04:28theli_uacvsdo: ERROR: Directory has sticky date revision; cannot add file ... what can i do about this ? :(
14:05:39amiconnpreglow: Then hooray; I should do some experiments with SH1 mac and flac...
14:06:05amiconn24bit flac is very probably out of question, of course
14:06:20preglownot a loss i would mourn anyway
14:07:55preglowhmm, one rotten thing is that both samples and coefs are saved as 32 bits anyway
14:08:06preglowyou should modify that for sh1
14:08:23preglowunless of course that would be suboptimal for some reason i don't know of
14:08:25preglowsh1 is weird :)
14:08:39amiconnsh1 isn't weird
14:09:14amiconnIt's quite straightforward risc
14:09:32amiconn...imho easier to understand than e.g. arm
14:10:15amiconnSH-DSP would be more involved
14:12:56preglowhmm, it wouldn't be completely safe without additional checks, though
14:13:28preglowthe decoder just checks that the sum of the coef precision and sample precision is lower than 32 bits before invoking the "16 bit" lpc decoder

14:45:13FebsYou know, just before the freeze, there was talk of incorporating the margin patch into CVS.
14:45:38FebsI think that is the bigger issue with using many of those WPSes on a standard build, rather than the AA issue.
14:45:56*Bagder runs for cooooofffeeeeee
14:47:00linuxstbFebs: The problem with doing that IMO is that we will make WPSes work with CVS, but then we will probably break them all again when viewports are implemented - assuming viewports will replace the margins patch.
14:47:29JdGordonviewports isnt really happening any time soon tho is it?

14:50:07amiconnViewports will default to the whole screen unless the wps specifies another viewport
14:50:24amiconnSo old wps'es that don't specify viewports will just work like before
14:51:33FebsThat makes sense.
14:51:36amiconnJdGordon: One reason why I still didn't start working on viewports is because I have to catch up with all the archos breakage :/

14:51:56JdGordon....
14:52:47FebsStill, it's not like those WPSes work with Rockbox now anyway, so they're going to have to be updated when viewports are implemented one way or the other.
14:52:55amiconnAnd I still use my archoses quite often, one reason being that rockbox still isn't really reliable on swcodec, in modules I don't understand well enough to fix them myself :/
14:52:58JdGordonamiconn: have you tryed the shutdown patch yet?
14:53:51linuxstbFebs: True, but people will also create new WPSs.

14:57:32FebsSorry, I wasn't clear. When I said "those WPSes" I was talking about the ones that work with unofficial builds.
14:57:58FebsBut I understood your point.
14:59:06amiconnYes, but adding the margin patch would make them official
14:59:34linuxstbFebs: I'm sure there are always going to be those problems - the WPS seems to be the favourite place for people to hack new features into, and one of many places where no developer with CVS access seems to work...
15:00
15:00:57amiconnAnother reason why I didn't start viewports yet is that I deem wps design fairly unimportant. It's just design, which helps nothing if the functionality is broken
15:01:31amiconnBut since viewports will also be useful in other places, I'll start implementing them sometime soonish
15:01:31FebsI agree with you completely on that point.

16:31:48linuxstbFebs: Maybe that person on MR is comparing sizes of the Musepack (mpc.codec) file - which is 40KB in the current build.
16:37:16linuxstbFebs: There have been no changes to the codec for about 4 months. So if there has been a bug introduced, it will probably affect all codecs - it's worth asking the poster to test some other formats (e.g. FLAC) with both his old and new builds.

18:16:35dan_aI'll give it some testing when I get home
18:19:16dan_aSlasheri: Have you had any thoughts about how well / badly your patch integrates with the dual core work I've been doing? Off the top of my head I can't see why it should cause any problems
18:24:30Slasheridan_a: it should work just fine
18:24:51Slashericurrently it operates just on single core as before
18:25:01Slasheribut now it should be easier to move tasks between cores on the fly
18:26:27dan_aExcellent - though I'm not sure we'd want to move tasks between cores (What a big pile of cans of worms you have there!)
18:28:11Slasherihehe :D
18:28:54dan_aI think if you're changing the way you call create_thread then it shouldn't be a problem to get rid of create_thread_on_core, too. Just add "unsigned int core" to the parameter list, and make anything that calls it at the moment use CURRENT_CORE
18:29:20*EV|Server is back (gone 09:46:07)

19:30:01mirakas they are you can't mix the idct_row c and assembly version, some things must be changed, I can tell you
19:31:33mirakidct_row and idct_col must be used both as asm or both as C right now. The C version uses some tricks to have less coefs and multiplications, but it's harder to use mac with that algorithm

19:50:37mirakLear: the function at line 204 is an atempt to copy in asm the C fuction
19:50:52amiconnIf it's dram, there is an optimisation possibility in idct_row: If you reverse the order of calculations in the /* mat 1 - mat2*/ part, the results are in the same sequence as they are written to memory. So you can collect the results in 4 32bit registers and write them to memory with a single movem.l

20:13:07mirakthe move #0,acc0 should be superfluous also
20:13:49amiconnThat's what I mean
20:14:03mirakthere is one weird thing, I can't inline idct() because gcc says the row and col labels are used twice.
20:14:23amiconnThat means idct() is used in 2 places
20:14:42amiconnIf you want to inline it, you need to stick to local labels
20:14:47mirakyes, in idctcopy and idctadd
20:15:02mirakamiconn: how do you do that ?
20:15:23Learamiconn: you aware of any reason to not use "-m5206e" instead of "-m5200" when compiling rockbox for coldfire targets?
20:15:48Learit generates slightly smaller/faster code, and works fine in my tests (h140).
20:15:50mirakbecause 5200 is more generic ?
20:16:02mirakah ok
20:16:04amiconn(1) What's the exact difference? (2) I though we use -m5249 ...
20:16:21mirakgreat. Lear : rivers are 5249 right ?
20:16:56Learthe difference I'm aware of, is that with -m5206e, gcc actually uses the div instruction (early 5200 models didn't implement that, so gcc can't use it).
20:17:42mirakinteresting

20:17:48Lear−−target-help for gcc do list -m5249, but gcc doesn't recognize it. -m5206e works though.
20:18:35mirakthe cores are backward compatible ?
20:18:38amiconnHmm, mine doesn't show -m5249
20:18:42amiconnmirak: Yes

20:23:30mirakwoudln't it be faster to make gcc use mac d0,d1,acc0 ; moveclr acc0,d1 instead of mul d0,d1 ?
20:23:53Learonly mac use in rockbox.elf is dsp stuff.
20:24:20mirakmul is 4 cycles and mac is 1
20:24:45Learthere's a stall between the mac and the moveclr, so the first one would take at least 3 cycles...

20:28:06preglowexactly three
20:28:19preglowso it'd be just as slow as an ordinary mul
20:28:29preglowas a matter of fact, it would be slower
20:29:05preglowonly use mac instructions when you need to do actual multiply-and-accumulate operations, or when you need a quick 64 bit mul
20:29:07amiconnMy guess is that the mac/movclr sequence needs the same cycle count as the mul
20:30:18amiconn..because it's very likely that the (e)mac-equipped coldfires actually use the (e)mac multiplier for performing mul as well,
20:30:30preglowit does
20:30:36preglowand yes, the cycle count matches
20:30:51preglowbut thanks to the mac/movclr being bigger than one mul instruction, it'll be slower
20:30:52amiconnand what happens internally is almost the same as the mac/movclr sequence

20:40:32mirakthe C _row and C_col uses some tricks, like mutiply the theoric coefficient by sqrt(2). this is done because cos(4*pi/16)=sqrt(2). you then have multiplications by 1 wich is the same than not multiplying, therefore you save some multiplications
20:41:29mirakso if you want the asm version to be like the the C version you need to use the commented coefs.
20:41:59mirakamiconn: I do the changing
20:42:02mirakso you can test
20:42:04preglowso, should we switch from 5200, then?
20:42:39Learalready did that... :)
20:42:41amiconnmirak: What purpose/advantage do the other, non-commented coefficients have, then?
20:44:26mirakamiconn: well since mac.l is one cycle I didn't bothered doing just a move in the acc0
20:44:48mirakamiconn: that was also for test purpose
20:45:14amiconnYes, but if the coefficients don't match, the final result will also be different?
20:45:22amiconnOr do I miss something important here?

20:49:16TrueJournalsHas anyone ever used songdb.pl to build the tagcache database?
20:49:23mirakamiconn: sorry, the coef are the same exept idct_row in C uses coef*sqrt(2) to save some mults. but this saving as no meaning with the MAC approach exept you could save 1 register and also replace P[0] mutliplications with a move P[0],acc0
20:49:59amiconnYou already said this multiple times, but that doesn't answer my question
20:50:28mirakamiconn: this is because matrix multiplication is linear
20:50:36amiconnIf you have certain values, and multiply all coefficients with sqrt(2), the final result will also be multiplied by sqrt(2)
20:50:51amiconnBut you want the result to be the same, how is that achieved?

20:57:19mirakamiconn: there is also one thing. They add 2048 to the shifted d0 variable in idct_row and do the same in idct_col by adding 65536. that's maybe to correct some precision loss.
20:57:54mirakyou should see that add commented in the asm code.

22:29:54dan_aWell done, barrywardell - I think you've made a few people happy!
22:29:58dionoea:)
22:30:01barrywardellit's still fairly basic, but works non the less

22:30:32amiconndionoea: Do you think using the grayscale lib for solitaire on archos would be worth it?
22:30:41dionoeayou could even simulate more buttons if needed i guess ... kind of like what needs to be done on the ipod
22:30:41 Join Davide-NYC [0] (n=chatzill@user-12hdtm5.cable.mindspring.com)
22:30:56dionoeaamiconn: depends if it has an impact on battery life
22:31:11dionoeacurrent graphics are already quite readable on archos IMO
22:31:18*dionoea fetches his recorder to try
22:31:22amiconnYes they are
22:31:52jhMikeScan you use configfile.c in the core (with a mod, for saving encoder settings)?
22:32:31dionoeaamiconn: is battery life the same when using the grayscale lib ?
22:32:39amiconnThe core has its own incarnation of config file writing
22:33:01amiconndionoea: No, it will go slightly down. More noticeable on Ondios than on recorders
22:33:14dionoeaok, then i guess that it'd be best to keep it as is
22:33:21*pixelma agrees
22:33:28Davide-NYCSorry to interrupt... Can I ask a question about the viability of different video codecs at different resolutions on different targets?
22:33:34amiconnThe grayscale lib loads the cpu with 50% as long as the overlay is running (for fullscreen)
22:33:37jhMikeSamiconn: I've been looking...I don't see...except for the stuff in config.c
22:33:46Davide-NYCEspecially the coldfire CPU in the iRiver H320.
22:34:10jhMikeSof settings.c or wherever
22:34:11dionoeai still need to do the nice animation at the end of the game btw :)
22:34:30amiconnThe jumping cards?
22:34:35dionoeayeah :)
22:34:42amiconnShouldn't be too difficult
22:34:45Davide-NYCWhat are the expected supported codecs? And what (of those codec) will play on an H320?
22:35:28Davide-NYCtheora, xvid, divx, etc, and at what bitrate?
22:35:56dionoeaamiconn: well it's just some downwards constant acceleration, a jump which basically *=-1 the vertical speed and a constant horizontal speed
22:36:04dionoeaso indeed it should be pretty easy
22:36:19amiconnDavide-NYC: We don't even manage to run mpeg-2 realtime... so forget about the mpeg-4 variants for now
22:36:27Davide-NYC[the wife want a video player, but I will try to dissuade from iPod 5G]
22:36:56Davide-NYCso is it reasonable to presume that real-time on the h320 at native res at decent framerate is not likely?
22:37:07Davide-NYCusing xvid as example
22:37:11Davide-NYC?
22:37:17amiconnPerhaps we'll manage, perhaps not
22:37:23amiconnIt's really hard to say
22:37:31preglowfind some good coders
22:37:31amiconnForget xvid
22:37:36Davide-NYChaha, I'm trying to make a buying decision on a gift for the wife.
22:37:44amiconnIt's more complex than mpeg-2
22:37:54amiconnxvid, divx etc are all mpeg-4 variants
22:37:57preglowamiconn: if iriver could manage xvid, so could we
22:38:04amiconnI don't know about the complexity of theora
22:38:06preglowsomeone really clever just needs to come along
22:38:14preglowamiconn: it's comparable to mpeg4, more or less
22:38:15amiconnpreglow: Yeah, xvid at 10fps, hooray!
22:38:28amiconnI'd rather want mpeg-2 at a decent framerate
22:38:39preglowsure
22:38:46preglowbut it is doable
22:38:55Davide-NYCwhat about the iPod 5G targets. they have dedicated video proc, right?
22:38:57Nico_Pcool, now we can go up on the H10 :D
22:39:04preglowDavide-NYC: but anyway, it's impossible to say, we need more video coders for any of that to happen very soon
22:39:05TrueJournalsyes :-D
22:39:09Angrymanworks great^^
22:39:11TrueJournalsBarry... you rock :-D
22:39:12preglowDavide-NYC: yeah, which we can't use very easily at all
22:39:14amiconnWell, mirak does have the basic idct in coldfire asm, we just need to find the bugs
22:39:31amiconnyuv->rgb seems to have some room for optimisation as well, with emac
22:39:34Nico_Pbarrywardell: are you close to fixing the screen bugs ?
22:39:37TrueJournalsby "basic" up support, I suppose you mean that it's not like the original firmware where scrolling with your finger would scroll faster?

22:40:33TrueJournalsyes
22:40:44markunDavide-NYC: does it really matter which codec we use if you have to reencode anyway?
22:40:49amiconnDavide-NYC: Targets with a smaller screen (pixel-wise) will get realtime video earlier...
22:40:50Nico_Pbarrywardell: cool, i'll try it
22:41:06TrueJournalsNico_P: pressing power takes you to the menu... you scroll to Quit game, press play and it says a message and "press select to quit" I've tried everything, and nothing seems to work :-\

22:43:55barrywardell_Nico_P: Yes, I think so. on 20GB at least
22:43:57jhMikeSpreglow: Is it needed to detect the SPDIF sample rate if were going to set it explicitly anyway?
22:44:01amiconnMaybe I should stop here, dump all changes, then restart later
22:44:08barrywardell_it takes a few seconds before it's read though
22:44:27Nico_Pok
22:44:35amiconnjhMikeS: You can't set s/pdif sample rate, you have to use the measured one
22:44:41Angrymanbut anyway you can define it via system (5g 820mAh or so)
22:44:45Angrymanor not?
22:44:55amiconnYou can only record what's delivered, not magically resample...
22:45:15Nico_PAngryman: i meant the current power level of the battery, not its capacity
22:45:30Angrymanbut for that you need the capacity ^^
22:45:32TrueJournalsso no one knows how to quit Doom?

22:49:06Nico_Plinuxstb: ok, what you said ("Not on the H10....") made me think maybe it wasn't the same for all targets
22:49:13Topic"http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CvsBuildServer" by Bagder (n=daniel@rockbox/developer/bagder)
22:50:54jhMikeSamiconn: ok I don't understand...it's set to use the audioclk/4 (44100) then what it really is has to be measured since it won't be that?
22:51:37amiconnThe UDA isn't part of the recording data path when recording from s/pdif
22:52:17amiconnIt's only used for monitoring - and it's impossible to sync the coldfire audioclk output to the s/pdif input signal
22:53:11amiconnSo the UDA will play a ghard-resampled version (no interpolation at all) of the input signal

22:55:48jhMikeSSo where's the clock coming from?
22:56:02AngryBagder... i will have a look at it
22:56:04amiconnThe UDA clock is coming from the coldfire, as the comment says
22:56:09jhMikeSyes
22:56:16amiconnBut that doesn't have to do with the recording sample rate
22:56:24Angryat least for the parts i can contribute ^^
22:56:31BagderAngry: great! tucoz and bluebrother are two of the masterminds behind it
22:56:33dionoeaw00t ! jumping cards in solitaire
22:56:39amiconnThe s/pdif input (EBUin in motorola language) is part of the coldfire itself
22:57:19BagderAngry: it should mostly be a matter of describing H10-specific things as the generic things are mostly covered already
22:57:37jhMikeSIsn't the UDA clock from the codec in mm?
22:57:48Angrymaybe you could help me once with compiling a plug in... cant get it out of cygwin antd it seems that there have just to be some lcd size settings adjusted and with my minor programming skills i could solve such issues

22:58:47BagderAngry: correct
22:58:53Angryok
22:58:59amiconnjhMikeS: Not in s/pdif mode (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
22:59:16amiconnSCLK2 is free-running, derived from audioclk
22:59:32jhMikeSamiconn: don't get do flustered! :)
22:59:34amiconnTXSRC is passed through from EBU1rcv
22:59:59amiconnThat's the cause of the harsh resampling if the input signal isn't 44.1kHz

23:26:06amiconnpreglow: Do you know what happens in the mac instruction with parallel load when the destination register of the load is equal to one of the operand registers?
23:26:08bluebrotherapart from that you should have a look that your text editor saves file in unix format (in case you're working on windows) and keeps trailing spaces.
23:26:36linuxstbTrueJournals: The display code in Rockboy doesn't work for colour LCDs smaller than a real Gameboy's LCD - so that includes the H10, ipod Nano and iaudio X5.

23:27:04TrueJournalslinuxstb: so somebody would need to figure out how to code it so that it scales down the game?
23:27:23linuxstbTrueJournals: Yes. Scaling already happens for greyscale LCDs, but it's not in the colour display code.

23:37:12amiconnjhMikeS: You cannot set the sample rate for s/pdif
23:37:37amiconnThe source is digital, and so its clock is fixed
23:37:37 Join tvelocity [0] (n=tony@ipa15.10.tellas.gr)
23:37:48amiconnYou have to measure and adapt
23:38:10telliott_Is there a known problem with recent daily builds for Archos V1?
23:38:31amiconnThe measuring is in fact only necessary n order to write the correct value to the wav header
23:38:37telliott_I'm having strange button issues.

23:39:29jhMikeSamcionn: But the codecs don't even adapt to it...they'll all think 44100 anyway
23:39:40preglowthen they need to adapt
23:39:43jhMikeSyes
23:39:44 Quit jborn__ (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
23:39:47jhMikeSworking on it.
23:39:57preglowand if an exact sample rate match can't be found, god knows what to do
23:40:00preglowprobably resample
23:40:03jhMikeSWhat is the IEC958 clock?
23:40:06preglowthe spdif clock
23:40:12preglowiec958 == spdif
23:40:22amiconnor aes/ebu
23:40:41 Quit Lune ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
23:40:46jhMikeSexactly...and that can follow audioclk/(3,4,6,8,12,16), or sclk(1-4)
23:40:49amiconnaes/ebu == professional mode, spdif == consumer mode
23:40:58amiconnYes, for output

23:41:25amiconnThe input clock is following the input signal of course, and can be measured, but not regenerated for reuse
23:42:20jhMikeSresampling in the context is a biotch because codecs (most importantly mp3) expect a certain number of samples per chunk
23:42:33preglowwhy does that make it a bitch?
23:42:49 Quit Arathis (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
23:43:37jhMikeSyou have to wait for enough raw pcm to be able to downsample exactly to the # of samples it expects...hope it doesn't cause buffer problems
23:43:53amiconnForget resampling, imho
23:43:57 Part TrueJournals
23:44:06amiconnSupporting the standard sample rates should be enough
23:44:15jhMikeSok...so SPDIF just follows the xmitter
23:44:17preglowwell, at least for now
23:44:20amiconnNon-standard rates aren't supported by iec958 either
23:44:29preglowso what to do if the sample rate doesn't match up?
23:44:33amiconn(but they work)
23:44:41jhMikeSpreglow: chipmunks I guess
23:44:45EV|ToshibaWhere the **** is billytwowilly
23:45:03*amiconn has a very useful tool for testing s/pdif in
23:45:13 Quit gromit` ("Coyote finally caught me")
23:45:18amiconnThe archos recorder can be used as an adjustable s/pdif source
23:45:50 Join x1jmp [0] (n=x1jmp@p549F277F.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
23:45:53amiconnIt can generate everything from 8kHz to 96kHz sample rate (even though it's only specced up to 48kHz)
23:47:19jhMikeSI would support say 32000 by downsampling 44100 or 16000 by downsampling 22050....never UP if possible
23:47:46amiconn32000 is a standard rate
23:48:44jhMikeSBut not creatable by the CF or TLV320 on x5. I don't know if the UDA can be set for those
23:48:52amiconnNope.
23:48:59amiconnThe UDA can only do 44.1 for recording
23:49:11 Join jborn__ [0] (n=jborn@adsl-75-3-25-208.dsl.chcgil.sbcglobal.net)
23:49:12amiconnBut s/pdif can deliver any standard rate
23:49:33preglowamiconn: it can do 11025 and 22050 as well, afaik
23:49:39amiconnNot for recording
23:49:43jhMikeSCan't UDA use slave mode for record? Linus thought it should. Which allows 11,22,and 44
23:49:56 Nick jborn__ is now known as JoeBorn (n=jborn@adsl-75-3-25-208.dsl.chcgil.sbcglobal.net)
23:49:58preglowi think it can
23:50:16jhMikeSCould use those funky 3,6,12 clock devides too ? :)
23:51:00jhMikeSEverthing is dsp.c works against 44100 though...not good if I want to support other stuff.
23:51:48preglowdeed
23:51:59preglowshould be pretty quick to fix
23:52:05jhMikeSpreglow: would FIR decimators work well for this app? or too slow? Where's a good design app for that?
23:52:24preglowdepends how good you want them
23:52:32preglowi'd rather use an iir decimator
23:52:38preglowsharper slope at a lower cost
23:52:52x1jmpI have a plugin which works in the simulator, but freezes not on the player

23:53:52x1jmpoh.. I mean it freezes on the player
23:53:53amiconnWith Lear's change, gcc seems to use a form of div CFPRM doesn't mention...
23:53:58jhMikeSI thought the FIR was preferred for stability (no feedback), less math. I have to read some more about it.

23:55:06amiconnIt seems the coldfire allows a 3-register form of div

23:57:20newbyx86 Did you mean bad_pool_heater?
23:57:27amiconnYeah, seems like gnu asm writes the instruction slightly different than motorola
23:57:36telliott_I need to get to NYC to visit Reace.
