#rockbox log for 2006-12-15

00:00:34montgojayes to both. the official themes were that way, but I think installing fonts must have fixed that one. I didn't look at that, actually. thnx. So what about the other themes that are designed for this player on the wpsgallery? I'm guessing that I must be missing a couple of patches or something, perhaps. Any suggestions?
00:01:10LloreanMake sure the official themes works with fonts.
00:01:20LloreanIf they do, then yes, you're using themes that require patches without their patches
00:01:40montgojathey do. UniCatcher looks fixed. The progress bar used to conflict with the file format label, and now they're separate.
00:02:36TerinjokesLlorean, i know patching rockbox isn't supported, but there are alot of themes i like but don't use... as i can't figure out how to patch them myself (and rather not use someone else's pre-built patch)... any forum postings on such?

00:35:56scorcheTerinjokes: what did you expect to compile with?
00:36:06Terinjokesi have gcc installed already :D
00:37:13Terinjokesgranted its gcc 4.01... but still :D
00:37:16scorcheit is installing parts of gcc...specifically for coldfire, sh1, and arm
00:38:03Terinjokesdoesn't PalmOS use arm as well?
00:39:39scorcheyes...arm is a very common arch
00:39:48Cassandralinuxstb, just used ipodpatcher to upgrade my Nano firmware to 1.3.
00:39:58scorchebtw, you are going to want to see CrossCompiler
00:40:09CassandraIt gave me a scare for a while, but a hard reset and it all seems to be working fine.
00:40:39scorcheTerinjokes: but that is just if you want more info into what it is doing
00:40:57linuxstb_Cassandra: Did it flash itself? i.e. display the "insert charger" symbol?
00:41:38linuxstb_And did a bootloader install work fine afterwards?
00:41:41CassandraYes.
00:41:44Terinjokesscorche, the .sh doesn't work on my system, as gcc is 'make' not 'gmake'... painful :D
00:42:00CassandraAnd yes for the bootloader.
00:42:24Terinjokesdo i need it as gmake, or should make work just fine?
00:42:45Cassandralinuxstb, at first after the reboot I got a battery low and then no response. Thought I'd bricked it.
00:42:53zeTerinjokes: gmake is gnu make
00:43:07CassandraBut eventually I got it to reset, got the charger, and the boot screen with a progress bar for a while.
00:43:12CassandraThen 1.3 loaded.
00:43:14linuxstb_Cassandra: That's a risk when upgrading the Apple firmware, as it updates the flash contents...
00:43:22zeTerinjokes: typicall make is a symlink to gmake or vice versa on gnu systems
00:43:27zetypically rather
00:43:33linuxstb_But glad to hear everything worked.
00:43:36scorcheTerinjokes: it should only use gmake if it is available...otherwise use make
00:44:16CassandraWonder if I dare do it with the video too.
00:45:10linuxstb_It _should_ be OK. The principle is the same.

00:46:02webguest88hi, i have a question regarding installing rockbox on my ipod photo
00:46:47Terinjokesit defaulted to gmake... never attempted make
00:46:51preglowwebguest88: ask away
00:47:08CassandraDamn but the video firmware takes ages to load.
00:47:53Terinjokeslrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7 Nov 19 18:22 /usr/bin/make -> gnumake
00:48:35webguest88i followed the linux instructions, both in the wiki and the install guide, they differ on which partition to install the firmware, rockbox does not load when the firmware is placed in the large partition, but it does load when placed in the small partition but i cant get to the music stored in the larger partition
00:49:08KasperleTerinjokes: what does "which gmake" return?
00:49:32Terinjokesnot found in my path
00:49:35webguest88original firmware loads fine
00:49:47linuxstb_Kasperle: Have you tried the latest ipodpatcher versions on BSD?
00:50:10Kasperlelinuxstb_: not yet, no. i could in fact give it a try now
00:50:26Kasperlelinuxstb_: where do i get ipodpatcher?
00:50:31linuxstb_Just a compile test would be useful - to see if the ioctl() stuff was OK.
00:50:40linuxstb_It's in Rockbox cvs - tools/ipodpatcher/
00:50:51preglowwebguest88: you're sure that's not just because you used itunes to transfer the music?
00:50:57 Quit ender` (" Very few profundities can be expressed in less than 80 characters.")
00:51:16webguest88i used gtkpod to get the music on there originally
00:51:35preglowwebguest88: try switching to database mode, then rockbox should see your music after a scan
00:52:02webguest88ok, lemme give that a try
00:52:55TerinjokesKasperle, i opened the script and manually set the variable (uncommented rather), trying to see if it well work now...
00:53:40Cassandralinuxstb, worked fine for the Video too. Now at Apple 1.2.1. Building a Rockbox bootloader to add now.
00:53:55Kasperlelinuxstb_: for the ioctl, FreeBSD needs to include sys/disk.h as well
00:54:08Terinjokessince my gcc is outdated (gcc 4.01) will this script update it to v. 4.03, or just install the arm stuff?
00:54:25preglowwebguest88: rockbox can't read the itunes database thing, so either you need to copy your music plain and simple over to the ipod, or use database mode
00:54:55preglowwebguest88: if you want to access the same music using both retail os and rockbox, then your only real choice is the latter
00:55:28linuxstb_Kasperle: OK. I'll probably just put #ifndef linux around it - there's no sys/disk.h on my Linux at least (Debian).
00:55:35webguest88ok, im initializing the database
00:55:52Kasperlelinuxstb_: also, it seems like sys/param.h needs to be included before sys/mount.h, otherwise gcc will throw errors because of undefined NGROUPS
00:55:58preglowwebguest88: that might take a while depending on the amount of music
00:56:02webguest88to be honest, im not worried about the retail OS
00:56:21preglowwebguest88: then just copying the music files as is to the ipod will by far be the easiest option
00:56:54webguest88ok, whats the best way to go about that, just mounting it and copying it over?
00:57:18preglowyeah, like for any other harddisk
00:57:28preglowyou can organize the files however you please

01:02:33linuxstb_Kasperle: Do you need to include sys/mount.h?
01:03:17Cassandralinuxstb, perfect. Now have a bootloader on my patched Video, and all done with ipodpatcher. I think you can be proud.
01:03:43webguest88thanks for the help guys, im looking forward to trying this out
01:03:53preglowwebguest88: np
01:03:57preglowhope you'll enjoy it

01:16:41CassandraHmm, linuxstb, I think I've hit a bug.
01:17:07CassandraMy original firmware won't boot if I hold down menu. It says "Loading original firmware" I get an Apple, then it reboots.
01:17:50linuxstbIs this on the video?
01:17:55CassandraYes.
01:18:52CassandraSounds like the drive powers down just before a reboot.
01:19:05TerinjokesCassandra, have you tried manually installing rockbox?
01:19:42linuxstbOK... :( I suspected that part of the code (moving the firmware partition contents to make room for the bootloader) might have problems. It's possible it's corrupted the apple firmware.
01:19:44CassandraTerinjokes: yes, thanks. I don't think that's my problem.
01:20:01Terinjokesok
01:20:06CassandraYou want me to send you a copy of my boot partition?
01:20:24Terinjokesi was just asking, since i've always had problems with auto-installers
01:20:45LloreanTerinjokes: This is an experimental installer we're working on. She's not trying to install for the first time, she's trying to help us find bugs in it.
01:21:26TerinjokesLlorean... well i've got a nano if you need any help on that front :D
01:21:34LloreanIt works fine on the Nano
01:21:58Terinjokesok! great!
01:22:30LloreanAt least, from windows.
01:22:31linuxstbCassandra: It's OK, I'll try to recreate what you've done and then examine the modified image. I've got clean versions of various bootpartition.bin files I'm testing ipodpatcher with.
01:22:31Terinjokesi assume this is ipodpatcher, which i see in CVS logs
01:22:48Terinjokeswell... i'm on MacOSX...
01:22:49CassandraOh f***.
01:22:59CassandraI think I may have just bricked my Video.
01:23:04CassandraI tried to -d to back it out.
01:23:09CassandraNow it won't boot at all.
01:23:16Terinjokesah!
01:23:32*Terinjokes suggest pluging it into the power adapter
01:23:54LloreanCassandra: Like... a real, honest to goodness, no-disk-mode-even brick?
01:24:02*linuxstb runs
01:24:19CassandraLlorean, there had to be a first time, right?
01:24:29linuxstbI'm sure it's simply low-power... All that disk activity...
01:24:33LloreanI know the Nanos sometimes get into a state where the screen stays blank, and buttons do nothing, but toggling the hold switch, and then holding Menu+Select for an obscenely long time (20 seconds, and best down while they're plugged into USB) will still recover them.
01:24:46Cassandralinuxstb, it's continuously rebooting.
01:24:48Kasperlelinuxstb: http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/93fnsX69.html
01:24:50TerinjokesI've had that happen on my nano (no diskmode, nothing...) plug it into the power adapter... works perfectly find
01:24:58linuxstbCassandra: That's fine - just hold SELECT+PLAY
01:25:12CassandraAh, got it in disk mode.
01:25:27Terinjokeslinuxstb: where is diskmode on the ipod?
01:25:49LloreanTerinjokes: Flash.
01:26:23LloreanCassandra: Just a quick question, what was the command-line you used to add the bootloader?
01:26:26Terinjokesas diskmode works even if i get mad at my ipod and 'dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/disk1' ...
01:26:34CassandraPhew. Re-installing a stock 1.2.1 now.
01:27:18CassandraThe Rockbox one? ipodpatcher -a bootloader.ipodvideo.ipod
01:28:37LloreanAlright, I know it was a silly question to ask, but I didn't see it in the logs, and I stupidly wrote it as firmware instead of a bootloader once, which could reasonably break booting Apple OS, I would assume. :)
01:29:18linuxstbOh well, time for bed. I'll be checking the cvs logs for bugfixes in the morning :)
01:31:02linuxstbKasperle: Hmm.... At least the sector detection looks OK.
01:31:19Kasperle:)
01:32:18linuxstbAnd that's with an original, unmodified firmware partition?
01:32:22Kasperleyup
01:32:35Cassandralinuxstb, yes, it's repeatable. Since I give not a monkeys about the apple_os, it's not going to cause me a huge problem though.
01:32:45CassandraLet me know when you'd like me to test the fix.
01:35:56linuxstbOK, thanks.
01:36:28Terinjokesgrr... doesn't look like the album art patch works with database
01:36:55LloreanNot terribly well, no.
01:38:05Terinjokesit wants the images to be loaded from the same directory as the track... unforunately i must also use the retailOS....
01:38:13LloreanMust, or choose to?
01:38:16Terinjokesmust
01:38:28linuxstbI thought there were other options for locations of the album art?
01:38:45linuxstbEspecially designed for people using retailos.
01:38:51Terinjokes./ filename .bmp - same filename as currently playing music file ./ albumtitle .bmp - name of the album, found in metadata of the music file ./ cover.bmp ../ albumtitle .bmp ../ cover.bmp
01:39:10Lloreanlinuxstb: Quick question, do you think the RCSC on my Nano got damaged as well? I remember the old symptom of not having it was music not playing at all, but it's possible that depending on how it was corrupted it could turn out okay. Any chance of adding a RCSC extraction option if further debugging is needed, so I can compare it pre and post bootloader insertion?
01:39:13TerinjokesThe pictures can be stored in the same directory (.) as the track or in the parent directory (..)
01:39:17 Quit spiorf (Remote closed the connection)
01:39:37LloreanTerinjokes: And the parent directory of all iTunes synced music would be?
01:40:01linuxstbLlorean: Yes, I think that's likely to be the problem.

02:43:37ashesit should try to use the mbr of the drive in the iriver
02:44:17LloreanYou format the disk as a bootable FAT32 volume set up as a rescue disk, and then copy the Rockbox files into the root, have the Rockbox bootloader installed in flash, and that should be it.

02:53:47LloreanI prefer to use something that doesn't depend on a battery m'self.
02:54:00LloreanBut then, some of the players can USB charge
02:56:06ashesa rescue image uses maybe 8mb compressed. it can be installed on the player and forgotten about, and its there in an emergancy
02:57:21ashesor more sophisticated graphical systems can be made with 32mb or more
02:57:55LloreanNone of that has too much to do with Rockbox though.
02:58:12ashesi suppose not
02:58:53ashesbut what's good for opensource, and what's good for portable players, is good for rockbox
02:59:06ashesindirectly
02:59:07LloreanAs far as Rockbox is concerned, the disk should show up to the computer as a removable UMS device, and it the disk itself needs a primary FAT32 partition to store Rockbox's files. Other than that, tinkering with it should be fairly sound.

03:22:51LloreanReformat, or restore?
03:22:56stickLemurreformat
03:23:22LloreanWhy do you need to? You should be able to use any tool that can safely format a single partition.
03:23:38stickLemurwhen i just rightclick on its icon in a windows browser and hit format, i have no option to select the file system
03:23:56stickLemuri'm putting on rockbox and i wanted to dump all the old itunes folders
03:24:28stickLemuri usually just use windows for formatting drives, but it doesn't seem to want to format the ipod
03:24:49LloreanWhy not just select them all, erase them, and empty the recycle bin?

03:26:15LloreanWell, as I said, use a tool that'll format a single partition. The Windows format usually reformats the whole drive on iPods, which destroys the boot partition.
03:26:24LloreanBut, it's entirely unnecessary
03:26:49stickLemurany idea why the windows tool isn't working?
03:27:10LloreanBecause it doesn't recognize that there are two partitions?
03:27:39stickLemurit wasn't working even before i put rockbox on it though :(
03:27:56LloreanThere were two partitions before you put Rockbox on it.
03:28:03stickLemurah
03:28:21stickLemuri'm pretty sure it's worked in the past, but oh well
03:28:27LloreanThe windows format tool is nearly useless anyway
03:28:34stickLemurthanks for the help
03:28:50LloreanThe windows format won't format iPods properly, in most cases.
03:28:53LloreanIt really shouldn't be used.

05:17:55WilliamCSo, if RockBox for the iFP7xx ever gets finished, will it include better Ogg-Vorbis support without the weird volume issue?
05:18:54WilliamCFunny thing is that I probably would have purchased an iPod if I knew about this software.
05:19:57LloreanYeah, the volume issue won't be present
05:20:03LloreanThat's entirely a software issue.
05:20:24LloreanIt's *likely* that the recording limitations won't be present either, unless there's a hardware reason for them (which seems unlikely)
05:20:36WilliamCThey must be using some half-assed codec.
05:20:56WilliamCNever used it for recording, though I guess I could if I wanted to record a lecture.
05:22:42WilliamCI suppose the biggest hold up with engineering software for these players are the fact that you basically have to reverse engineer everything because the hardware isn't open sourced.

06:00:05LloreanDepends on the target.

06:00:32LloreanWell, we don't really have a sansa port where it's measurable yet
06:00:38LloreanBut odds are very good it'll get worse life on the Sansa for now.
06:00:45LloreanSince it's likely to have the same problems the iPods do.
06:01:26oboThx. Another possibly stupid question: does the ARM chip do the mp3 decoding or can rockbox take advantage of the hardware?

06:02:31 Quit [sellout] (Read error: 148 (No route to host))
06:03:46oboI was under the impression that there was a dedicated chip that would offload the mp3 decoding for the sansa.
06:04:29LloreanNot as far as anyone has identified, no.
06:04:50LloreanThere's no real reason there should be one, either, the PP chip is more than sufficient.
06:06:30obowhat about battery life?
06:06:36WilliamCI can't wait for the iFP to be supported.
06:07:26LloreanIf they were going to offload MP3 decoding to another chip for battery life, they'd probably use a much slower and lower power primary processor.

06:23:01WilliamCWhat firmware is better for the iFP?
06:23:32LloreanWell, since it doesn't officially work yet, probably the retail firmware. :-P
06:24:08WilliamCThat's not what I meant
06:24:22WilliamCThere are two different firmware versions released by iRiver
06:24:35LloreanWell, we don't really pay too much attention to the original firmwares here.
06:24:56WilliamCOne turns your players into a USB storage device, and the other one allows you to manage it with iRiver Music Manager.
06:25:17LloreanI'd suggest reading the merits and flaws of each and deciding for yourself.
06:25:40WilliamCI like the UMX one
06:25:47WilliamCThe music manager annoys me
06:25:51LloreanSo use it?

09:09:23dan_aThe only weird thing is if I'm missing state changes, I would expect to sometimes see button presses in the wrong direction (when I miss 2 states) but I never do
09:09:26LloreanSo it's alternating xoring 01 and 10
09:10:09dan_aLlorean: Yes
09:10:24LloreanYeah, that is odd that you still get it always going the right way.
09:11:17LloreanCan't you check to see if you miss a state, just to get an idea what's going on?
09:12:02LloreanJust check to see if you ever go from 1->3 or 0->2?
09:14:46LloreanI mean, if it's skipping one, you could get 0->2, 2->0, 0->2, 2->0 sequentially, and it'd just wobble, right?
09:14:59Llorean2 being the final value, not the read value.
09:16:14dan_aLlorean: I plan to do something like that (I was going to change it so that if at the last read it was going clockwise and it's gone 1->3 or 0->2 then we count that as a button press in the same direction - hopefully when people change direction on the scroll wheel there will be a few reads of nothing being pressed)
09:17:17LloreanWhat I'd do, personally, is create some debug output where as you scroll the wheel it just spams a blank screen with values using that driver, instead of moving anything, and see if the values read end up sequential or not?
09:17:36LloreanYou'd at least see what's going through the driver.

09:47:14markunwould be interesting to just measure how much current the DAPs draw instead of these runtime tests
09:47:33markunespecially on the X5L
09:47:35Bagderthe scientific approach! ;-)
09:47:37DraXmarkun: probably
09:47:58DraXmarkun: I'm massivly impressed with rockbox though
09:48:12markunBagder: well, it's also not as easy to do on targets other than the Gigabeat I guess
09:48:43Bagderno, it usually takes some effort
09:48:56 Quit dan_a ()
09:49:28markunWe can turn the battery off with a switch on the bottom and measure the current over the charger
09:50:36Bagderthat's indeed useful
09:50:49LloreanConvenience in hardware design? That's cheating.

09:52:56Bagdermore than ok, it'd be great!
09:53:47markunperhaps better to write a "... we have a new port" as the audio DMA code is about the last thing we have to do

10:56:52linuxstbCassandra: Another test version (Windows binary) of ipodpatcher is here: http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/ipodpatcher-test.zip This should hopefully work on your Video (at least, it's closer than the previous version which was completely broken).
10:58:14linuxstbSlasheri: Are you able to test the latest ipodpatcher on your 5.5g? It might fix the AppleOS problem. The source is in CVS, and works on Linux/Windows/Mac OS X.
10:58:52GodEater_Webin case anyone's interested, I just added another post to the end of the 5.5g port thread which details a bit more of my findings with loader2, and the "MBR" sector it dumps to the iPod screen
10:59:21GodEater_Webthought this might be useful in trying to work out if the sector it's read is *somewhere* on the disk, or whether it's just complete gibberish dredged up from memory somewhere
10:59:31Lloreanlinuxstb: Since it doesn't break my Nano, and I don't have a +Nike to ensure that works, I assume there's not much I can help with regarding that version of it?
10:59:39Slasherilinuxstb: great, i will try that soon
11:00
11:01:25linuxstbLlorean: No, I don't think so. But if it works on the video, it should work on the Nano. (they both have rsrc images that need moving).
11:01:56GodEater_Weblinuxstb: what do the two other images in that partition do ?
11:02:14Lloreanlinuxstb: The Video just happens to break more if you corrupt the rcsc.
11:02:15 Quit GodEater_Web ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
11:02:49linuxstbSlasheri: You need to start from a clean (i.e. unmodified by ipod_fw) firmware partition. Then build a bootloader from current CVS (you will get a bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod file) and then do "ipodpatcher /dev/sdN −−add-bootloader bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod" (replacing /dev/sdN by the "whole disk" device for your ipod).

11:14:01TFGBDHello
11:14:07TFGBDAnyone home?:)
11:14:15peturnope
11:14:19TFGBDHeh
11:14:20LloreanVery few of us live here
11:14:20*Bagder is at home
11:14:25TFGBDHeh
11:14:26*linuxstb is at home
11:14:33TFGBDI just have a question about this..
11:14:35*Llorean is home as well, in that context.
11:14:49linuxstbGreat, we're all at home... (apart from petur)
11:15:07TFGBDWhen you say its "replacemet firmware" does that mean its a whole new OS or it can run on top of existing OSes like linux
11:15:08peturheh
11:15:35TFGBDBecause to me it seems silly to create something new for a device like the Zune when its already running Windows CE.
11:15:39Llorean"replacement", meaning it uses or requires no parts of the original OS (once it's done: For example on iPods we use the original disk mode for the time being)
11:15:40linuxstbTFGBD: It's a replacement firmware. The same way that Linux replaces Windows on a PC.
11:16:07TFGBDOnce someone hacks the zune to run 3rd party EXEs, it would just be a matter of making a Windows CE port, I'd think.
11:16:12LloreanThe Rockbox Simulator could be adapted as a music playing program for a CE device.
11:16:17TFGBDIt seems silly to port the entire thing.
11:16:19TFGBDAh, cool.
11:16:35 Join menosm_ [0] (n=menosm__@user-11fadfo.dsl.mindspring.com)
11:16:35LloreanBut the whole purpose of Rockbox is to unlock the player fully.
11:16:38linuxstbBut Rockbox would do things better than Windows CE...
11:16:40TFGBDSo you have something like an app version of rockbox for running on standard OSes like CE/Linux?
11:16:46LloreanNo custom software needed for syncing or other things as well
11:16:54TFGBDWCE is my favorite OS :P
11:17:16petursure, I like WinCE too, but ActiveSync sucks big time
11:17:19TFGBDwell, CE 5 supports exporting a volume to USB Mass storage
11:17:23TFGBDYeah< i never use async.
11:17:30LloreanThere's an App version for running on PCs for testing out user interface changes, but it can be used in some circumstances as a stand alone music player, and with improvements could certainly work.
11:17:34TFGBDI use my devices standalone mostly.
11:17:35peturwhy can't my pda be UMS
11:17:43TFGBDI just wish more authors offered cabs.
11:17:50TFGBDand not those icky installshield installers.
11:17:55Bagdercab?
11:17:59Bagdernah, I have roof
11:18:01TFGBDCool.\
11:18:14TFGBDYour app sounds like it would be neat for all CE devices then :P
11:18:27LloreanIf someone adapted it, yeah, certainly
11:18:32TFGBDIt sounds like it would be a lot of work to completely replace CE.
11:18:32LloreanI wouldn't mind it on my phone, for example.
11:18:38*bluebrother doesn't consider Rockbox to be an app
11:18:50linuxstbThe UI simulator is an app...
11:18:50Lloreanthe idea isn't to mirror all the functions of CE.
11:18:51TFGBDIts an OS?
11:18:59linuxstbRockbox is a firmware.
11:18:59LloreanThe idea is to provide a solid media player firmware.
11:19:08TFGBDYes...but its is an OS itself?
11:19:11Bagderyes
11:19:13TFGBDAn OS different from linux?
11:19:13LloreanRockbox is, yes.
11:19:17BagderOS and apps and everything
11:19:20linuxstbi.e. mini OS and application together in perfect harmony.
11:19:21LloreanRockbox has nothing to do with Linux.
11:19:23TFGBDthats amazing.

11:19:42TFGBDBut I still would prefer to be able to run CE apps like opera alongside it :P
11:19:51TFGBDI doubt Opera has a port for your Rockbox OS ;P
11:20:05LloreanWell, Rockbox runs on media players, not PDAs
11:20:05bluebrotherOpera without having network?
11:20:10TFGBDEh.. Zune has Wifi
11:20:20LloreanIf you want a PDA, why not just buy one?
11:20:22bluebrotherRockbox doesn't run on the Zune
11:20:25TFGBDI have 6 :P
11:20:25linuxstbRockbox generally runs on much lower-powered hardware than the Zune. The Zune is just massive overkill for an audio player...
11:20:29TFGBDI non't have a Zune :P
11:20:33TFGBDThats what I figured.
11:20:44bluebrotherI want my dap to play music. As I want my phone to make calls, not to take pictures, play music and stuff
11:20:58TFGBDOnce its hacked,it will already be far better than Rockbox with something like Coreplayer/Tcpmp www.coreplayer.com
11:21:10*TFGBD does not listen to music.
11:21:11LloreanHahaha
11:21:11LloreanNo.
11:21:40*petur leaves the pointless discussion
11:21:43*bluebrother is addicted to music
11:21:44TFGBD;P
11:21:58TFGBDI'm just curious about it for others that would be interested, I Guess.
11:22:22scorchei have tcpmp on my treo...it cant do a tenth of what rockbox can as an audio player
11:22:25LloreanIf you're not interested in Music, I'm not sure why you're here.
11:22:35LloreanRockbox is designed specifically as an audio player, not a general purpose media player.
11:22:40TFGBDMy point is it would be silly to replace a powerful OS like CE or Linux with something like Rockbox. It would be jsut nice to run IE 6 or Opera when you get tired of listening to music/videos ;P
11:22:55LloreanSo you're basically here to say "You guys shouldn't bother with the Zune"
11:23:01TFGBDNo
11:23:09bluebrotherhehe ... I won't bother with it :)
11:23:10TFGBDI'm here to say you should, I guess :P
11:23:21Bagderreally, win CE is overkill for something like zune when it doesn't even use the wifi properly
11:23:35TFGBDYeah.
11:23:41scorchewin CE is overkill for any DAP
11:23:48TFGBDBut since its MS, and the Toshiba version already was running CE..
11:23:50BagderI mean, network stack is basically only what it would provide that rockbox doesn't
11:23:54TFGBDI guess it made it quick and easy.

11:24:56LloreanI imagine a proper Rockbox could add quite a bit of battery time on the Zune over that shiny interface.
11:25:02TFGBDI care about it being hacked so it may run 3rd party CE apps :)
11:25:19LloreanSo, you want an MP3 player to be used as something else, when you already have 6 pdas?
11:25:28TFGBDHeh or maybe even TCPMP could add battery time over that shiny interface :P
11:25:34scorcheLlorean: it even lags with that processor with that interface...
11:25:42TFGBDWell...some are not exactly PDAs...but they ran CE..
11:25:43LloreanTFGBD: TCPMP would still be running on top of CE
11:25:48TFGBDYes.
11:25:57LloreanRockbox would run on its own, with better music playback features than CE has, and a much lower clock speed overall.
11:26:02TFGBDI bought this GPS nav device because it was running CE.
11:26:05LloreanBetter music features than TCPMP even
11:26:07TFGBDboy was that thing easy to hack :P
11:26:19TFGBDTCPMP is nice with its format support mainly.
11:26:20scorcheand tcpmp does not have many settings or features at all....it can play things
11:26:28TFGBDyeah.
11:26:32TFGBDI did not say it would be better..
11:26:34LloreanYup, it's good for individual files or very basic playlists.
11:26:36TFGBDI meant more powerful.
11:26:42TFGBDas far as formats
11:26:55TFGBDBut your project has a different focus, I guess.
11:26:59LloreanTFGBD: You said it would be "far better than Rockbox with Core/TCPMP"
11:27:06scorcheactually, we can play more audio formats than it can

11:27:25TFGBDsorry, i hit enter too early :P

11:27:37TFGBDI meant to say far better than Rockbox with Core/TCPMP, I guess
11:27:44scorcheand it has an odd habit of crashing on my treo
11:27:51TFGBDWell, thats a Palm :P

11:28:36markunbluebrother: no, but that's only a container anyway
11:28:36scorcheLlorean: ah...so it is...but each codec adds a good deal to the size
11:28:39TFGBDSo what does yours support?
11:28:43*Llorean doesn't even know what MuLaw and ALaw are.
11:28:52TFGBDTCPMP is only about 1mb
11:29:11TFGBDvery small compared to other players, though.
11:29:57TFGBDThe MS WM9 series codecs that are available for OEMs to use in CE OSes are larger than the whole thing :P
11:30:32scorcheover 207k for just aac as an example...then again, that is the palm prc
11:30:34linuxstbLlorean: Types of audio allowed in WAV files. I think Rockbox's WAV codec supports them.
11:30:42linuxstb(don't ask me any more...)
11:30:53Lloreanlinuxstb: Alrighty, so we're probably just sshort the MKA, WMA, and Speex.
11:31:06LloreanAnd there was that Speex-in-progress.
11:31:11scorchei thought we had a speex decoder
11:31:16linuxstbAnd up MP1, MP2, Shorten, Wavpack, ALAC, SID, ...
11:31:21TFGBDWell, on CE TCPMP uses the MS WMA/WMV codecs
11:31:38linuxstb... aiff
11:31:39LloreanSo, I think in terms of codecs, we may be slightly ahead.
11:31:50LloreanAudio codecs, rather
11:31:53TFGBDAh
11:31:58TFGBDThis simulator version of Rockbox sounds like a good start for a Zune/Portable media Center port, though. It would be much easier than creating a whole firmware for devices that do not even have much demand for it.
11:32:01LloreanAnd there's no question our playlisting and database features are ahead of the game
11:32:15BagderTFGBD: but less fun! ;-)
11:32:30scorchenot to mention all fo the other features like crossfeed, gapless, eq, etc
11:32:34TFGBDBut far more useful for things other than audio :P
11:33:00TFGBDif you can't even do video..it would be pointless to lose the video features people paid for by using your firmware :P
11:33:02Bagderwell, if getting a win CE device to run apps on is your goal, just get one
11:33:03scorchewhich we dont really care about anyway...
11:33:06linuxstbI think most people buy portable audio players for portable audio playing...
11:33:14*TFGBD has 6 :P
11:33:23scorchewe saw that...3 times
11:33:33LloreanTFGBD: In most cases, you can dual boot with Rockbox anyway. They don't lose anything
11:33:38TFGBDAh.
11:33:40bluebrotherRockbox is about 951kiB (H120, only codecs and core)
11:33:46LloreanThey just have the option to boot Rockbox so that playing music drains less battery
11:33:47bluebrotherI think I can call that small :)
11:33:50markun1.1MB on the gigabeat
11:33:53Lloreanbluebrother: How much of that is the AAC codec?
11:34:03Bagder25% AAC ;-)
11:34:06TFGBDBut it sounds like such hardcore work to port it to anything... :P
11:34:10scorchehaha
11:34:12linuxstbExactly :)
11:34:18TFGBDAnd thats the fun?
11:34:21bluebrotheraac is 193 kiB, vorbis 100
11:34:33TFGBDI may get a Zune when its hacked and if its on clearance :P
11:34:36BagderTFGBD: yes partly
11:34:49Bagderthe fun is getting it to do "right"
11:35:03LloreanThere's a special thrill in getting things done "the right way"
11:35:14TFGBDI see.
11:35:30TFGBDWell, would rockbox not be nice on generic WinCE devices too? :P
11:35:52LloreanHey, nobody's saying a CE target for the simulator is a *bad* idea.
11:35:53linuxstbIf you wanted to turn them into audio players, then yes.
11:35:56LloreanIt'd be like the Foobar2k of PDAs
11:35:57Bagdernah, then we'd be up against win CE zealots
11:35:59TFGBDIt would turn any CE device into a quality PMP
11:36:04Bagderand they'd chop us to peaces
11:36:14TFGBDMethinks I'm the only WinCE Zealot ;P
11:36:33TFGBDFoobar2k?
11:36:35LloreanNah, there's been at least one other through here.
11:36:36*bluebrother just saves ~700bytes by rewriting a function that converts uint8 values to hex display
11:36:37scorchei have never heard someone speak so highly of it..
11:36:43TFGBDReally?

11:38:11bluebrothersaving that much bytes in Rockbox wouldn't be that easy ... rb code is too good ;-)
11:39:12TFGBDIs this sim based on the same code as the OS/firmware version?
11:39:20Bagderyes
11:39:39TFGBDWhere does one get it?
11:39:46Bagderbut it simulates the lower levels, like disk/fs and graphics etc
11:40:03TFGBDSo it can't read files from a folder on your HD?
11:40:06LloreanIt can
11:40:20TFGBDhow do you mean it simulates them then?
11:40:33bluebrotherit doesn't use the low-level drivers of Rockbox
11:40:57TFGBDAh.
11:40:58bluebrotherbut instead simulates the player hardware by redirecting it to the OS
11:41:01TFGBDAh.

11:59:31GodEater_Webalbum art ?
11:59:33bluebrotherLlorean: now only the tracker admins need to upgrade (unless they want until the RC gets officially released)
11:59:55bluebrother0xf00d :)
11:59:57TFGBDIt seems much nicer on simpler players than really powerful/complex things like the Zune or video ipods.
12:00
12:00:06GnelikBacground, and all others
12:00:14linuxstbbluebrother: I think we should wait - RCs are not a good idea on production servers IMO...
12:00:42LloreanTFGBD: Again, you're judging it by its appearance. It has vastly more functionality than nearly any portable digital audio player on the market or off.
12:01:04Bagderand I bet it outperforms Zune as well
12:01:10scorcheTFGBD: what Llorean said and you will find out a bit more once you get to the WPS section of the manual
12:01:11Bagderjust not in visual apperance
12:01:47TFGBDYes...I meant it would look very odd on a large 320x240 TFT color screen.
12:01:49linuxstbAs you spend 99% of your time listening to Rockbox, rather than looking at it, that's where the development effort goes...
12:01:56scorcheBagder: heh...like i said above...it lags with its special effects....with that processor too
12:02:15BagderTFGBD: I disagree
12:02:17LloreanTFGBD: If you pick a larger, nicer font, and use a background image, as well as a customized WPS, it looks pretty good on a large display.
12:02:25TFGBDOh, ok
12:02:36TFGBDsee, I did not know it did all that...must read manual.

12:13:33LloreanBeing open source, it's *far* more than skinnable if you really want it to be.
12:13:35TFGBDAnd those skins will even work (of course not well) on the tiny DAPs like the Archos Players?
12:13:42LloreanBut there's a simple method for creating custom While Playing Screens
12:13:56scorchethere are separate WPSs made for each device
12:14:00LloreanThat page was just themes for 320x240 screens
12:14:10scorchecolor too
12:14:10LloreanThey won't even work on 240x320 screens.
12:15:16scorchesee the page "WpsGallery" and work from there
12:15:27markunonly 2 240x320 WPS' so far: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsGigabeatF
12:15:49markun+ iCatcher of course
12:16:35TFGBDAnything for 640x240? ;P
12:16:49markunTFGBD: which player has such a screen?
12:16:51scorcheas we have no devices that has that res, no
12:16:55LloreanWe don't have any targets with that resolution, so, no.
12:17:09scorcheLlorean: i win! =D (for once)
12:18:14TFGBDMy Windows CE device silly ;)
12:18:24TFGBDOr how about VGA or SVGA?
12:18:28LloreanIt's not a "target" until someone's actually working on it.
12:18:34 Quit Gnelik (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
12:18:38LloreanThere are no WPSes for non-targets.
12:18:58TFGBDSo you can't take a wps from anything and just use it on the generic rockbox?
12:19:10TFGBDthey are not univeral skins?
12:19:16TFGBDuniversal*
12:19:23markunTFGBD: yes, but which device is that?
12:19:23n1sther's no universal resolution
12:19:40scorchethey are universal skins in the sense that they work on that specific resolution no matter the device
12:19:49TFGBDAh, ok.
12:19:59TFGBDbut they are easily modified for another res?
12:20:00LloreanFonts can be used on any player, and non-graphical WPSes will work on all players with screen size equal or greater, as well
12:20:27TFGBDbut graphicly ones need to be the same screen size?
12:20:32LloreanDepends
12:20:39LloreanBackdrops will only work on their specific screen size
12:20:53linuxstbOne of Rockbox's principles is not to do things on the target if they can be done in advance. So things like scalable fonts and graphics aren't supported.
12:20:56LloreanWPSes without backdrop images can work on greater sized screens, but of course you'll end up with unused space.
12:21:28LloreanThat reminds me, did anyone see the feature request for foredrop images, in a similar style to the backdrop?
12:21:40linuxstbYes, an interesting idea...
12:21:45LloreanI kinda liked it.
12:22:08LloreanIt's a really simple way of doing some nice looking effects, I think, at a cost of a bit more buffer.
12:22:23 Join Nico_P [0] (n=nicolas@jau31-3-82-239-20-145.fbx.proxad.net)
12:22:36LloreanIt'd also cover that whole "multiple font colors" issue, though not sizes.
12:23:16linuxstbA "bit more" can be a lot for the large LCDs - a 320x240x16bpp bitmap is 150KB... We already reserve 300KB for the WPS and "rest of rockbox" backdrops.
12:23:39TFGBDhow do I apply the WPS to a simulator?
12:23:46LloreanTFGBD: Read the manual.
12:23:56LloreanSpecifically the manual for whichever player's simulator you downloaded
12:24:48Lloreanlinuxstb: This is true. And you'd probably want two foredrops, one for the WPS and one for the menus too, so that's even worse.
12:25:18LloreanOr at the very least, one as wps-only
12:25:27linuxstbLlorean: Yes, you could fit a lot of code in 600KB.... So maybe there's a better way to do those effects.
12:25:57LloreanWell, there's always a fontcolor tag in WPS.
12:26:05linuxstbI mean 300KB (the extra for the foredrops)...
12:26:08LloreanThough it wouldn't cover gradients or anything.
12:26:16TFGBDbut what part of the manual?
12:26:28 Quit menosm_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
12:28:19 Quit spiorf_ (Remote closed the connection)
12:28:39LloreanTFGBD: Honestly I haven't looked at it in a while. A search for theme brings up nothing?
12:28:51TFGBDi'll try
12:29:19linuxstbTFGBD: You just go to the main menu, then "browse themse", then choose a new theme. The WPS is part of the theme.
12:30:27linuxstbInstalling a theme is just a matter of unzipping it onto the player (the files go in subdirectories of the /.rockbox/ directory, so depending on how the zip was made, you adjust the path appropriately).
12:30:37Lloreanlinuxstb: One simpler idea would be to use the existing WPS image buffers. You load smaller images like normal, and you assign them as foredrops for lines of text. So you have like %txa before the line of text to use image a as its foredrop.
12:30:49LloreanYou could use much smaller images, and they'd be stored in the existing WPS buffer
12:33:29TFGBDmy zip has 2 folders: themes and wps
12:33:53LloreanAnd both of those go in the /.rockbox/ folder

13:10:52pixelma[IDC]Dragon: wouldn't be a problem for me as long as it still is in <> so that it shows up in first place... and I guess for someone who uses tagcache and different MMCs that could be interesting
13:11:18pixelmathanks :)
13:11:40[IDC]Dragonpositively interesting to tagcache users, or in the way?
13:12:02Lloreandoes the MMC even show up to tagcache users?
13:12:11[IDC]Dragonthe <> will of course stay
13:12:40[IDC]DragonI need the "illegal" chars to make sure there's no directory with the same name
13:13:47pixelmano.. err.. database doesn't tell you were it found the files (I haven't tried much though)
13:14:01[IDC]Dragonif no volume name is present, I need a default, so this could be MMC1 again
13:14:37LloreanIf there are volume names displayed, you should be allowed to rename. :-P
13:14:40[IDC]Dragonafk for a minute, please excuse me
13:16:20pixelmabut I thought that if it stores the path it can't distinguish between different MMC atm (have to ask amiconn or Slasheri) - so I thought if the volume name is available that would be a good thing
13:16:25pixelmamaybe I
13:16:30pixelma'm wrong on that
13:16:51linuxstbMaybe a solution for tagcache would be separate databases on each volume?
13:17:06LloreanSounds good.
13:17:09linuxstbWith the ability for the browser to present them united...
13:17:25BagderI doubt the tagcache code is designed for that...
13:17:29LloreanThat way people who use a lot of external storage (or swap the contents of the cards) don't have an inflating database on the player, or a constantly rebuilding one.
13:18:11linuxstbIt's sure to become an issue with the Sansa (I'm expecting more Sansa users than Ondio users...)
13:18:22LloreanMaybe no permanent database for external storage?
13:18:46LloreanIt's scanned an indexed when you insert the storage, and all entries are flagged as 'temporary' and not saved, and also removed upon eject of the storage?
13:21:18pixelma[IDC]Dragon: having the volume name displayed would clearly help if you have more than one MMC of the same type (which I don't have)
13:21:21LloreanWith scanning speeds, it probably wouldn't take too long to index a piece of flash media.
13:22:46[IDC]DragonLlorean: renaming the volume would be new, extra code

13:27:37[IDC]Dragontagcache is a misleading name
13:27:47*DerPapst_ starts testing
13:27:59Bagder[IDC]Dragon: it is only called tagcache internally these days and not in the ui
13:28:09[IDC]Dragonah, ok
13:28:15linuxstbDerPapst_: I'm not sure what you can test on your 80GB though... At the moment it only accepts bootloader in the ".ipod" format. You can convert a .bin file (e.g loader2) to that format using the "scramble" tool in Rockbox cvs - "tools/scramble -add=ipvd loader.bin loader.ipod"
13:28:34pixelma[IDC]Dragon: and I don't get a quickmenu entry "rename" for the <MMC1> folder
13:28:41[IDC]Dragonnice
13:28:56[IDC]Dragonhey, I made it right!
13:29:03linuxstbDerPapst_: (the .ipod format is a simple 8-byte header added to the file with a checksum and a model identifier to ensure users use the correct bootloader for their device)
13:29:20DerPapst_ok
13:30:26linuxstbDerPapst_: Also, you need to start with a known good (i.e. as it came from the factory) firmware partition. Don't try it with one modified using ipod_fw/make_fw.
13:31:03DerPapst_it is unmodified (ih i have a bootloader instlled the ipod is useless ^^)
13:31:13DerPapst_*if
13:31:18linuxstbTrue :)
13:31:35[IDC]Dragonthe reason for all my asking is that I'm implementing BigLBA, want to revive the multi partition capability (for private builds), to allow a second partition behind the 137GB barrier
13:32:19[IDC]Dragonon HD models, not Ondio (yet ;-)
13:33:00pixelmawell... amiconn wants to implement the new MMC protocol as soon as the first 8GB MMCs are out :)
13:34:33[IDC]DragonYes, he told me. For a while, we'll be safely below 137GB flash.
13:34:34DerPapst_linuxstb: i'm currently not able to compile the rb-bootloader for the 5G. is there a way to download a cvs build?
13:34:54pixelmaof course
13:35:38[IDC]Dragon8 GB MMC sounds very nice, though
13:35:45[IDC]Dragon(drool)
13:36:15linuxstbDerPapst_: I'll build one for you, one moment.
13:36:23DerPapst_thanks
13:36:28*[IDC]Dragon needs to fix his Ondio's energy appetite
13:37:09[IDC]Dragonit gets _warm_ during operation
13:38:54pixelma[IDC]Dragon: from time to time there are Ondios offered on ebay.de (mostly) - winning bets are around 20 € (more or less)

13:42:56OverandI'm reading through manuals for the 5g iPod nightly builds- I'm not seeing a way to boot the original firmware without uninstalling rockbox- is this correct?
13:43:09linuxstbDerPapst_: I've just made another bootloader for you to test (assuming ipodpatcher is working). This one tries to jump straight to the Apple firmware (after displaying some text), before Rocbox tries to initialise the ATA hardware (which is where it fails). http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/bootloader-ipodvideotest.ipod
13:43:12[IDC]DragonI have a scrap Ondio, power parts are not the problem
13:43:32DerPapst_ok.
13:43:47linuxstbOverand: I'm not sure if it's in the manual (it should be), but it's in the FAQ: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodFAQ
13:43:57Overandthanks
13:44:23OverandiPod isn't here yet- I'm a Rio Karma user, but the 60 gig refurb 5G deals on store.apple.com were too good to pass up
13:45:34linuxstbOverand: The short answer is yes, Rockbox installs a "dual-boot" bootloader which lets you run either Rockbox or the original firmware.
13:45:40DerPapst_linuxstb: [ERR] Failed to read firmware directory (after i typed ipodpatcher 7)
13:46:07linuxstbDoes it correctly display the sector size?

14:09:22GodEater_Webcvsgrab doesn't like playing with rockbox's viewcvs.cgi
14:09:31GodEater_Weband I'm buggered if I'm doing it manually
14:09:36Bagderyou need a good ssh tunnel out
14:10:04GodEater_Webthat would require a lot of leeway from our net admins
14:10:08GodEater_Webwhich isn't going to happen
14:10:18GodEater_Webunless this is in the source archive already ?
14:10:19Bagder.. or just a sneaky tunnel through the http proxy..
14:10:28Bagder:-)
14:10:35GodEater_WebBagder : I've tried that
14:10:39Bagderhehe
14:10:50GodEater_Webour's doesn't let you connect to ports other than 443 for tunnels
14:11:03BagderI know
14:11:09Bagderso you run a ssh server on 443
14:11:11 Quit MarcoPolo ("Bye !")
14:11:20GodEater_Webhmm - could do I suppose
14:11:29GodEater_Webbit late to sort that out today tho :)
14:11:29Bagdermost setups only allow port 80 and 443
14:11:38Bagderbut unless you do https you can just as well do ssh there
14:12:05Bagderwe do that all the time
14:12:15GodEater_Webheh - no https at home - nothing to serve to the world :)
14:12:54GodEater_WebI'll check and see if linuxstb's latest changes have made it into the source archive
14:13:15Bagderthe one on the cvs page has it all after every commit
14:13:29amiconn[IDC]Dragon: When we supoort the MMC4.2 protocol, we'll be save for far more than 128GB. This barrier is ata specific
14:13:34GodEater_Webthat poor server must spend all it's time running tar :)
14:13:51Bagdertar is good ;-)

14:21:34rasherI'm afraid that won't do me much good, since I'm trying to add the necessary stuff for building a rbutil debian package
14:21:43rasherIt won't work too good without the build-deps satisfied
14:23:00*bluebrother think he could look into fedora packages
14:23:16bluebrotherbut there aren't wx packages also
14:23:24GodEater_Weblinuxstb: got it - now - which test you want me to do with ipodpatcher? -a ?
14:23:27amiconn[IDC]Dragon: The protocol limit will be 8TB or so. Not very likely to hit that with flash memory any time soon
14:23:53linuxstbGodEater_Web: Yes, -a
14:24:07rasherI think I have most of the stuff ready now. Had to add an install target to the Makefile, but I can't really test that either, so I'm a bit in the blind
14:24:25bluebrotherdoes it understand DESTDIR?
14:24:45rasherThe install target? Yes
14:24:53bluebrothergood.
14:25:13rasherI'm a bit unsure if I should be using mkdir and cp, or this fancy "install" thing
14:25:14[IDC]Dragonhi amiconn
14:25:39bluebrotherafaik most packages use install, but I don't know the exact difference
14:25:39[IDC]DragonI know 137 GB applies to ATA only, I was just joking around
14:26:17rasherbluebrother: I was mostly unsure about whether install was standard enough to use
14:26:30rasherI guess it's just an easier way to get the same stuff done
14:26:33bluebrotherI believe it's safe to use it
14:26:34GodEater_Webwell it's definitely doing something different to last night

14:28:40GodEater_WebI'm guessing since it's STILL not loaded the apple_os it's still not quite right linuxstb
14:29:25linuxstbGodEater_Web: It shouldn't be getting that far.... Which bootloader link did you download?
14:29:33amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Hehe, yes, at 2TB we'll hit the 32 bit sector number limit
14:30:02amiconnThe self-extractor thing is under firmware/decompressor/
14:30:10GodEater_Webhttp://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod
14:30:20GodEater_Web-d works perfectly now though
14:30:23linuxstbNo, you want "....ipodvideotest.ipod"
14:30:32GodEater_Webah sorry
14:30:46linuxstbIt should display "Branching to Apple firmware...." before it tries to do just that...
14:31:31linuxstbGodEater_Web: But doing -a followed by -d leaves you with a working ipod? That's a good sign...
14:31:32[IDC]Dragonfor unknown reason, I got a .ajz >256kB
14:31:57[IDC]Dragonneither Archos nor Rockbox could load it
14:32:16amiconnFor recorder v1?
14:32:27[IDC]Dragonand old compiler, yes
14:33:15GodEater_Weblinuxstb: yep it worked perfectly - went back to booting the usual os just fine
14:33:22amiconnOdd.
14:33:39amiconnBut you should really update sh-elf-gcc to 4.0.3 rockbox-patched
14:34:10GodEater_Webok - I have it displaying the "branching" message...
14:34:14bluebrotherhmm. When gcc fails while linking because of a section full, is there a way to see how much bytes are missing?
14:34:22[IDC]DragonOK, I'll try
14:34:32GodEater_WebI'm assume the -d doesn't move the other images back to where they were, since -a was MUCH faster this time
14:34:36GodEater_WebWahoo :)
14:34:39GodEater_WebWorking apple_os!
14:34:50GodEater_Webnice *nice* work linuxstb :)
14:34:58[IDC]DragonI was hesistant, because with my usual luck it won't work until days of troubleshooting
14:35:17linuxstbGodEater_Web: Coolness... The answer is simple that ipod_fw.c was bad.
14:35:43rasherWhy is rbutil using that archos icon when there's a perfectly good icon used in fwpatcher?

14:39:10[IDC]Dragonwhat's so different about it?
14:39:32BagderI guess that's what still needs to be figured out
14:39:44linuxstbWe don't know... AFAIK, the ATA controller is embedded in the PP5021 SoC, and also AFAIK, the new videos are using the same PP5021 chip.
14:40:13linuxstbBut the existing PP502x ATA driver isn't working with it.
14:40:36amiconnI suspect some init isn't done in the apple flash loader, or is done differently
14:40:46rasherlinuxstb: (or someone else able to build rbutil) could you test if http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6443 works? (install target in rbutil Makefile)
14:41:19amiconnHence my suggestion to try grabbing a rom dump and compare with a G5 rom dump
14:42:05[IDC]Dragondo you rely on inits, or is it just the startup different state?
14:42:57GodEater_Webamiconn: did you manage to find any hint of the code the IPL guys used to dump the rom with the piezo ?
14:43:15linuxstb[IDC]Dragon: Yes, we do very little initialisation of the ipod hardware in Rockbox (but as much as we can) - we just rely on what the Apple bootloader has done.

14:45:14[IDC]Dragonthen I compared the cold start results with the "warm start"
14:45:50GodEater_Webis there anything else we can insert into the test video bootloader to get some more info back on the ata_init() call ?
14:47:45GodEater_Webor when we you say "ata_init()" fails - do you really mean it never returns ?
14:48:35preglowwe don't even know where all the hw regs are :/
14:50:28linuxstbGodEater_Web: I'm not sure of the details. The first thing you could do is try and display the return value of ata_init(). If it doesn't return, then dig inside ata_init(), putting extra returns in until you track it down.
14:50:43GodEater_Webfun fun fun
14:50:47linuxstbBut I seem to recall someone doing that and posting the results to the rockbox mailing list a month or two ago.
14:50:55linuxstb(rockbox or rockbox-dev)
14:51:02GodEater_Webah - must have missed those
14:51:50amiconn[IDC]Dragon: The problem on ipod is that we even don't know all registers
14:52:06amiconnPortalplayer prefers keeping specs secret :(
14:52:09[IDC]Dragondo you know the address space of them?
14:53:12*[IDC]Dragon wonders how it's possible to develop for such a h/w at all
14:53:21preglow[IDC]Dragon: kind of, but the address space is heavily aliased
14:53:36preglowmakes it a bit hard to know which addresses contain bonafide registers
14:53:39Bagder[IDC]Dragon: lots of the recent targets are much more disassembly and reverse engineering

15:09:31preglowjhMikeS: haha, just something you hacked together yourself or got the code from someplace?
15:09:37jhMikeSI think a more statistical type would be better than trying to emulate a bunch of echos (too intensive)

15:13:00bluebrotherbtw, shouldn't the version info go at least also somewhere inside of the core?
15:13:08rretzbachI have my player mounted, can I check it without touching the device physically? :>

15:17:31linuxstbI think you just need the −−enable-shared=no option to configure.
15:17:36rasherOh goddammit. That'll make proper debian packages pretty much impossible then
15:17:49preglowwhich will show me exactly how much i can hope to push out of this thing, heh
15:18:32linuxstbrasher: Or fix rbutil to be unicode compliant... I'm not sure what that involves, but I think it's just removing all "char" types, and using the proper wxWidgets wxChar and wxString types.
15:18:45linuxstbCassandra may know more.
15:18:55rasherlinuxstb: I'm not sure that's a job for me
15:19:13jhMikeSpreglow: with the super low delay method (no worker thread), the routine must awaly finish in time or things get ugly fast. I've been reading about it and was gonna take a crack just to educate myself. :P
15:19:39rasherIt really should be unicode compliant anyway
15:20:13rasherActually, not a lot of char types. Might just be possible for me after all.
15:20:14linuxstbYes, I agree. I think multi-language support is on Cassanda's to-do list anyway. Let's see what she says about it.

15:23:10preglowjhMikeS: how clever do you think it is to stop yielding? :/
15:24:12jhMikeSpreglow: as long as it's constant time for a given number of samples and leaves a little time for normal code to run it seems ok
15:25:18GodEater_Webcurses. A mate of mine used to work at Rio (back when they made the Karma), and I wondered if he'd ever seen any portalplayer specs while they were thinking about what platform to use for the Karma. Sadly he didn't. It was worth a try though.
15:25:51rasherGodEater_Web: If he did, he'd probably not be able to share (legally anyway)
15:25:54jhMikeSamiconn: It's very good for making sure that waited message get reponded to on a one-by-one basis. The audio recording functions weren't really multithread safe. I just added the use of it to the playback.c and got rid of the other message queue (simpler).
15:26:20GodEater_Webrasher: true - but they made him redundant years ago - I figured he probably wouldn't mind sharing if it was done on the quiet :)
15:26:41GodEater_Webhence I didn't say anything till *after* I'd asked him :)
15:27:28BagderI rather think PP doesn't reveal much info but provide an SDK with libs and stuff
15:28:09jhMikeSI can simplify synchronizing on some more things there too.
15:28:47GodEater_Webeven that might have been useful - although it would have been out of date by now I suppose
15:28:58amiconnHmm, I don't think I understand that yet

16:11:33GodEater_Webdisk_init() defines it's sector as a [512] size array
16:11:43GodEater_Webshouldn't we be doing 2048 in there for an 80G ?
16:12:25*GodEater_Web 's low level knowledge is so rusty it squeaks in a strong wind
16:14:19linuxstbGodEater_Web: I don't think so - ask amiconn...
16:14:54linuxstbI think that relates to the physical sector size, which is still 512 bytes.
16:15:06GodEater_Webah ok
16:15:12linuxstbOnly when accessing via USB is the disk presented as having 2048-byte sectors.
16:16:02GodEater_WebI seem to remember reading that elsewhere now you mention it
16:16:34GodEater_Webany idea on that DEBUGF question above ?
16:16:51rasherI've been looking at wxwidgets docs, and have come to the conclusion that everything that isn't unicode should be purged from the face of the earth and anyone saying otherwise should be the first on the great chemical fire.

The new firmware boots, but goes direct into the iRiver code. Is there anything obvious I should check as to why the rockbox code doesn't start?
17:15:01cnj[thanks in advance]
17:16:19|Rincewind|is there a rockbox.iriver in your root?
17:16:22cnjyes
17:16:27linuxstbDo you see anything displayed on the screen before the iriver firmware starts?
17:17:23cnjeverything looks the same as with the old iriver firmware, except the version number, and it's much quicker. the md5sum of the firmware it just flashed and the one I originally downloaded differ, so the patching did something
17:17:58cnj(I think that's a "no")

17:18:45linuxstbI don't own a H340, but I'm almost certain you should see the Rockbox bootloader displaying some messages. Do you have power/usb plugged into your H340 still?

17:19:08linuxstbI think that's the problem - unplug it...
17:19:21cnjoh. well I had unplugged it and tried. but I'll do so now again.

17:22:41cnjwell, I unplugged it, and even poked the reset button for good measure. First thing it shows is still the blue "iriver multicodec jukebox" and then "ver 1.29 J start/loading" underneath it.
17:23:09bluebrothertry reflashing.
17:23:24bluebrotherthere are known cases of some h300 devices that need flashing multiple times
17:23:31GodEater_Webhahaha - no - that properly shafts it
17:23:36GodEater_Webdon't even get the HD model anymore
17:23:51bluebrotherno idea what / why this is happening
17:24:04bluebrotherbut there have been some reports in the forums about this
17:24:25 Quit strabes (Remote closed the connection)
17:24:26cnjthat's odd; it definitely installed a newer firmware (the old was stock US firmware), but I'll give it another go
17:25:00cnjand I checked to make sure I copied the patched version ... I can provide and md5sum if anyone else wants to compare
17:25:02bluebrotherI assume you checked the md5sum of the patched firmware?
17:25:16cnjis there a listing somewhere?
17:25:24bluebrotherthe wiki has md5sums of patched files
17:25:30cnjah, didn't see that
17:25:51bluebrotherI think it was IriverBoot (but I'm not completely sure about this)
17:25:52linuxstbGodEater_Web: OK :) Try replacing the sleep(x) calls with udelay(x*10000)

17:40:27lexcould i get a new 5.5G from apple, i have about 4+ stuck pixels in it
17:41:23barrywardelllowlight: apparently they're gpio addresses
17:41:50barrywardelli think the gpio address has some 'don't care' bits
17:42:26barrywardellso 0x6000d000 = 0x6000d000
17:42:42barrywardelli mean 0x6000d800 = 0x6000d000

17:47:01barrywardelllowlight: there was a discussion here a few weeks ago with amiconn about that sort of thing
17:47:18barrywardellapparently there is some sort of write mask when outputting to gpio
17:47:51barrywardellso bits 8-15 are a mask on what's written to bits 0-7
17:48:00n1scnj: that is a known issue with h300 US firmware, whaen flashing an international patched firmware it "skips" parts, presumably to prevent overwriting a drm key in the flash, the international firmware however doesn't have this check and gladly overwrites everything, so do what you did silently skips parts and results in a non rockbox firmware while flashing a second time does it right. :-D
17:48:36n1sanyway beertime for med too :-D ,I'll be back with incoherent posts in about 8 hours ;-)
17:50:26barrywardelllowlight: eg. it looks like line 11 is clearing bit 4 of GPIOD_OUTPUT_VAL
17:50:41barrywardellactually, bit 3

17:55:04barrywardellwhat you wrote reads GPIOD_OUTPUT_VAL, clears bit 3, then writes back to GPIOD_OUTPUT_VAL
17:55:24lowlightwhy not always do it that way then?
17:55:41barrywardelland it's possible that the other bits of gpiod have changed between reading and writing
17:55:48lowlightThere's only 3-4 places where it's used like that
17:56:42barrywardelli'm not sure why they choose that sometimes. the same thing is used in the ipod backlight code too
17:57:17lowlightalso, does the BPL after the LSL mean it's just checking bit 3 of GPIOD_OUTPUT_VAL?
17:57:35lowlightbranches if bit 3 is 0
18:00
18:02:15lowlightbarrywardell: what if it was 0x808 instead of 0x800?
18:02:37barrywardellthat would be like GPIOD_OUTPUT_VAL |= 0x8

18:08:07lowlightok...think I've got it.
18:08:26barrywardellpretty much exactly a jhMikeS said :)
18:09:53jhMikeSso the shift instruction can put the shift result in a register other than source? It appears so.
18:10:02tucozpixelma, do you still have the svg of the gigabeat? I got to go now, but check back later.

18:12:39jhMikeSLSL R0, R0, #0xB looks weird otherwise. Can do like LSL R0, R1, #0xB so the result's in R1 (if there's an R1 :)?

18:20:23amiconnjhMikeS: ARM is backwards to most other asm dialects
18:20:40amiconnSO if you want the result in r1, you need lsl r1, r0, #0xb
18:21:35barrywardelllowlight: i'm not totally sure. i couldn't get it to work on my h10, but apparently it works on the ipod (eg. look at the backlight code)
18:22:50jhMikeSamiconn: right :) too much staring at ColdFire stuff. Intel asm looks backwards to me now.
18:23:24amiconnIn fact I'm not sure if it's 'most'
18:23:42amiconnAt least source, dest feels more natural to me that dest, source
18:24:03amiconn..even though I started with Z80, which also uses dest, source
18:24:44jhMikeSIn a way it makes sense since with something like "mov eax, 1" is spacially analagous to "eax = 1"
18:25:10amiconnAT least Z80 used 'ld' instead of 'mov'
18:26:00amiconnx86 asm mostly looks like gibberish to me
18:26:09jhMikeShmmm...like 6502 used LDA #00 for load accumulator with #00
18:28:54jhMikeSrandom thought: odd that x86 should need a rotate instruction when shld,eax,eax,<value> would be the same a rol eax,<value> but I don't recall if it can do same register

19:11:20linuxstb_"apt-get install mingw" in Debian should be enough, followed by "make ipodpatcher.exe"

19:34:49ThePhili havent had probs with rockbox until now
19:34:57linuxstb_GodEater: The bootloader is a cut-down version of Rockbox... Things like interrupts are not enabled. Rockbox itself is different enough to be worth trying.

19:36:26GodEaterok - cross your fingers folks
19:36:37linuxstb_ThePhil: But you are having problems now.... I wouldn't recommend the unofficial 5.5g builds as they are buggy and can corrupt your disk, as you've experienced.
19:37:08linuxstb_(unless they use the FAT driver modifications from the official Rockbox, and just add other kinds of patches).
19:37:22linuxstb_Also, the older install tools were broken (especially ipod_fw.c).
19:37:31GodEaterno luck
19:37:41GodEater"No partition found. Insert USB cable and fix it"
19:38:15linuxstb_Was that a clean CVS, or with your changes to the ATA driver? (removing sleep)

19:38:55GodEater(which may be telling)
19:39:28ThePhilnow it works again with the original firmware
19:39:38linuxstb_Yes, so there seems to be a separate issue with sleep() failing in the bootloader. But the disk reading is still not working...

20:19:43lunacymazeand could it be possible to be shared some way or an other, so that more people could take a look at this?
20:19:45barrywardellyes, i have a patch
20:20:21barrywardelllunacymaze: http://pastebin.ca/280237
20:20:52barrywardellthe problem with that one is that it's not all that responsive, especially under heavy cpu usage
20:22:11barrywardellwe need to adapt it to use interrupts like this http://pastebin.ca/28024, but that version does not work at all for me

23:28:49GodEaterstill trying to figure out what's going on with this ATA crap
23:29:10GodEaterata_init() appears to successfully call ata_read_sectors(), and that works
23:29:17GodEaterbut disk_init() calls it again
23:29:23GodEaterand that looks like it's failing
23:32:52GodEaterwell thankfully that's a bunch of crap and that's not what's happening at all
23:37:01GodEaterok
23:37:04GodEaterv. confused now
23:37:34GodEateripod.c (bootloader) calls disk_init()
23:37:41GodEaterthis *appears* to work
23:37:50GodEaterthen it calls disk_mount_all()
23:38:02GodEaterwhich then calls disk_init() again
23:38:07GodEaterwhy do we need to do that twice ?
23:39:12Terinjokes can someone tell me why 'clock' is the slowest rock?
23:41:03linuxstb_GodEater: I can't see any call to disk_init in disk_mount_all()
23:41:34GodEaterit's in disk_mount()
23:41:39GodEaterwhich is called by disk_mount_all()
23:41:44linuxstb_Ah yes...
23:42:00GodEaterI'm trying to understand the difference between calling disk_init() and disk_init(IP...)
23:42:22GodEatersorry IF_MV(drive)
23:43:02tucozTerinjokes, is it slow to load?
23:43:08Terinjokesyeah
23:43:09linuxstb_Have you tried changing the disk_init() call in ipod.c to be "struct partinfo* pinfo = disk_init()" and then displaying pinfo?
23:43:21GodEaternot yet
23:43:34tucozI wish i had that rock on my player. lack a rtc over here. :(
23:44:05linuxstb_IF_MV will be related to multi-volume support - which isn't enabled on the ipods. So I think the two calls to disk_init() will be identical.
23:44:50Terinjokestucoz, what player?

23:45:28tucozwould be cool to do that rtc-mod though. Too bad i lack soldering skills.
