#rockbox log for 2006-12-18

00:00:14[IDC]Dragonucl gets a problem then, making 2 blocks from it. There is an option to make larger blocks than the default 256 KB.
00:00:32linuxstb_Kasperle: It's in CVS now if you want to try it.
00:01:02[IDC]DragonI will add that to the build process, just in case somebody else will stumble over it.
00:01:28 Quit strabes (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:02:22amiconnThe old compiler is, erm, old ;) It's not recommended for a rather long time now...
00:02:33amiconnBut what's the problem with more than one block?
00:02:41Kasperlelinuxstb_: finds it
00:03:06Kasperlelinuxstb_: but it lists " -l, −−list" twice now, when started with no arguments
00:03:25amiconnIs the ucl decruncher too much 'thinned out' to handle them?
00:04:16[IDC]Dragonyes
00:04:46linuxstb_Kasperle: Thanks, fixed.
00:04:47[IDC]Dragonwhat's the poop about the new compiler?
00:04:54amiconn?
00:05:20 Join Disorder [0] (n=josephbe@c-68-45-223-180.hsd1.nj.comcast.net)
00:05:28[IDC]Dragonwhat great new things does it bring in?
00:05:38amiconn(1) With my patch we can use -Os (2) -Os is _way_ more efficient with gcc 4.0.x tahn with 3.4.x or 3.3.x
00:05:39[IDC]Dragonand why is is patched?
00:05:51 Quit petur ("sssssssssss---------PLOP!")
00:06:18amiconnThere's a bug in the SH back-end that creates wrong jumptables (for switch() ) under certain conditions
00:06:32amiconn...happening with -O2 and higher
00:06:40[IDC]Dragonsounds like fun to hunt for...
00:06:54amiconnSince -Os is essentially -O2 with size-increasing options disabled, it also hits there
00:07:06Kasperlelinuxstb_: if you're looking for other "autodetection" options, you could run "camcontrol devlist" on recent FreeBSD versions. that'll output something like "<Apple iPod 1.62> at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da0)"
00:07:08amiconnThe idication in the asm and the problem itself are rather obvious
00:07:57amiconnBut myfix, while working nicely, isn't a proper solution and hence probably not suited for gcc cvs inclusion
00:08:14amiconn(and imho the gcc team is not really a cooperative one)
00:08:35Kasperledoes anyone know whether newer ipods simply do not support firewire, or whether apple just ships them with usb cables and firewire would still work with a different cable? according to portalplayer, the pp5020 supports firewire
00:09:19[IDC]DragonI have now upgraded to the new toolchain
00:09:29[IDC]Dragonwent flawless
00:09:45amiconnThe problem is even relaitively simple to explain: The SH loads bytes and words sign-extended, and gcc uses byte-sized and word-sized jumptables with higher -O levels
00:10:33amiconnGcc has to decide whether to use signed byte, unsigned byte or word jumptable
00:10:38 Part deadbattery ("User is away.")
00:10:49amiconnAnd the check compares <= 127 and <= 255
00:10:51[IDC]Dragonand now you wast a bit
00:11:06[IDC]Dragonwaste
00:11:15amiconnnope
00:11:23[IDC]Dragonoh, even better
00:11:48amiconnSo if the number of case:s is odd _and_ the last case: is _exactly_ 127 or 255 bytes forward, the bug hits
00:12:04linuxstb_Kasperle: They don't support firewire (apart from charging via firewire). The Nano/5g have a PP5021, not a PP5020.
00:12:16amiconn..since gcc calculates the pure jumptable size, but later has to pad one byte because of instruction alignment
00:12:45[IDC]Dragonha
00:12:55amiconnI just changed the check to <= 126 and <= 254, respectively
00:13:21amiconnThe proper fix would be to fix the jumptable size calculation to take alignment into account
00:13:54amiconn...but that's beyond me. Trust me, I tried to follow th eendless code paths in the gcc sources...
00:14:11 Quit lini (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
00:14:39[IDC]Dragonoh dear
00:15:43Kasperlelinuxstb_: oh. that's too bad
00:15:50amiconnThis bug is present in all gcc versions I checked (from 3.3.x thru 4.1.x)

01:28:40realmhello everyone
01:28:44realmi have a question question
01:28:46realmcan someone help me?
01:29:25PaulPositionI'd like to know if someone would be willing to put two lines into the sudoku plugin so that it sets a foreground and background color on plugin entry.. It's been a month now that the grids become invisible with most themes' .cfg but creating a patch and going through the flyspray process seems overkill.. :(
01:30:06realmhow do i play videos that have already been converted for ipod use on rockbox?
01:30:20realmit seemes rockbox cant play videos?
01:30:34midkayit can't.
01:30:35realmwhen i switch over to the ipod firmware it works just fine
01:30:43realmoh
01:30:47PaulPositionrealm - different formats.
01:30:50midkayrockbox isn't the ipod firmware.
01:30:59realmhow do i play vids on rockbox then?
01:31:31midkaywell, you can't, not very well (no audio, will be laggy/slow). it's far better to just use the ipod firmware for video.
01:31:33realmi alrady tried all the main types of formates
01:31:41PaulPositionrealm - There's probably a converter for it.. But there's no sound as of yet so you might want to stick with dualbooting to original firmware for video (for the time being..)
01:31:42realm*formats
01:31:49realmdamn
01:32:48realmhonestly i had some porn on disk storage and i was trying to browse to it on rockboxc and play it there so its not in my general videos list on the ipod firmware
01:32:50realmthis sucks lol
01:33:07realmhow laggy/slow will it be?
01:33:34midkayhaha. you'll have to convert all of it to audioless format and depending on the resolution/quality probably like half-speed.
01:33:54realmok
01:33:56realmoine more question
01:34:03realmis there anyway to hide that shit on there?
01:34:11realmso i can still watch it on ipod firmware
01:34:17realmbut i want to hide it somewhere
01:34:40realmi know the ipod firmware doesnt have a file browser like rockbox
01:34:49realm(which is what kicks so much ass about rockbox)
01:34:57midkaywell, copying any video over from itunes will rather hide it by renaming it weirdly and placing it in a random folder in the ipod_control/music folder..
01:35:32realmbut when u go to the videos folder (where i have a shitload of family guy eps that my friends watch all the time) youll see it there plain as day
01:35:39PaulPositionmidkay - He wants it hidden from Apple firmware.. Not very possible I think, and a question for Apple or iTunes devs.. :(
01:35:58midkaywell, don't copy it over from itunes? or you mean hidden nested in some weird menu?
01:36:07 Join MarcoPolo [0] (n=MarcoPol@virlet.rez-gif.supelec.fr)
01:36:34realmthe ideal thing would be to find some type of 3rd party filebrowser add-on or something for the itunes firmware
01:36:40midkayyou can't really hide it, nah.. not like creating folders in a file view. ipod firmware simply has a videos section and that's that..
01:36:43realmso i can just browse the disk and play it from there
01:36:52midkaycan't. :\
01:37:03realmdamn
01:37:04realmthat blows
01:37:17realmyou're telling me NO ONE else has asked how to hide their porn on their ipod?
01:37:21realmwhat is this world coming to...
01:37:24midkayhaha.
01:37:24realm:(
01:37:31midkaynot necessarily, there's just no way!

01:37:45realmi wish i was a programmer dude
01:37:49realmid jump on that right away
01:38:07realmwe need a place to hide porn safely from our children and wives
01:38:10midkayyou can't really do anything to the iPod firmare anyways (well, where there's a will there's a way, but reasonably, no).
01:38:15midkayhaha.
01:38:16realmwhat kind of world are we living in?

01:40:23realmyea with my wife in the room
01:40:24realmgood idea bro
01:40:26midkayor what if someone set fg white, bg black.. forcing fg black would mean it's unusable as well.

01:41:58realmok one more serious question tho
01:42:15realmi just did a quick search and found some other thing like rockbox that runs on linux
01:42:22realmdoes that thing play videos well?
01:42:35realmand does it allow you to switch between firmwares like rockbox?
01:42:46realmi didnt do much reaserach on it so im sorry if im wasting your time guys
01:42:51PaulPositionmidkay - Sudoku draws a white-ish board and (depending on foreground set) white/whatever grids over it, not very practical.. For all I know initialising colours from a plugin doesn't outlive the plugin execution. I guess the original colours from the theme are stacked and reloaded or somehing..
01:42:58midkayiPodLinux? you should ask them in #ipodlinux.. it's pretty complicated and i don't think the video player works very well but if you're desperate...
01:43:07realmnope
01:43:08realmnot desperate

01:43:23midkayPaulPosition: ah, i didn't realize sudoku sets bg but not fg..
01:43:33midkayi thought if you set fg it'd conflict with bg sometimes.

01:44:23midkayaugggh!!!
01:44:28idnarheh
01:44:29PaulPositionmidkay - It doesn't set a bg per se, it just draws a board. Patch I have here from Ashen over at misticriver sets a pale blue background, but that doesn't change the board's white, just the colour 'behind' it..
01:44:31realmhaha im just kidding
01:44:43realmbut serious that would make it 1million times more kick ass than it already is

02:10:51barrywardelljhMikeS: also, what about the code in audio-*.c? for the moment, that seems fairly generic for the PP targets. although maybe it will eventually be more target specific?

02:11:39jhMikeSI targeted that cause it was too full of #ifdef and the setup isn't the quite the same for iAudio and iRiver
02:12:12jhMikeSmade it easier to clean up higher level code too

02:25:41Nico_Pi didn't test it because it doesn't work in the sim and i didn't boot windows
02:26:14Nico_Pi started adding the code to the core
02:26:38barrywardelllinuxstb_: it adds the files target/arm/pcm-pp.c and target/arm/audio-pp.c. are the reasonable filenames?

02:56:35JdGordonif your using cygwin your not developing for windows, so of courswe its crap
02:57:09JdGordonwriting gui apps for windows is much less PITA than linux, you only have 1 library, not 3 to choose from and support

03:04:24Tmanokay
03:04:32TmanGekk0: any idea how soon?
03:04:32PaulPositionJdGordon - Well, thing is it *doesn't* set any background, it's pure white (bmp) tiles and whatever foreground the user has set.. Since most themes use light-on-dark scheme, the grid almost never gets displayed on the white board..
03:04:50PaulPositionJdGordon - As for the background, it only show beside/behind the board.
03:05:12Gekk0its already working
03:05:13Gekk0slightly

03:11:37Tmannah, I'm just going to get 30GB anyway :p
03:11:47Soapnot only does it have more HD space, it also has a larger battery, and 64MB of buffer RAM compared to the 30GB's 32MB of buffer RAM.
03:12:04Gekk0its not supported
03:12:06Soappersonally, I think that makes it a $100 well spent.
03:12:09Gekk0but it does work so ive heard.
03:12:09Tmanand more expensive :p
03:12:10SoapGekk0: it will be.
03:12:21Gekk0i know
03:12:26Gekk0i forget the word currently
03:12:28Gekk0i always do
03:12:43Gekk0the ipodpatcher was updated to support the block type of the new ipod
03:12:47Gekk0which is 2048? i think
03:13:14Soapsince RB is only giving you ~55% of Apple runtime at this point, the 80 should give you +- ten hours of runtime, compared to the 30's +`7 hours.
03:13:35relaxedTman: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=7738.0
03:13:44Soapand for me personally, those three extra hours get me through the work day.
03:14:10TmanSoap: is that 55% expected to improve?
03:14:34Tman(80GB is probably out of the question btw, since I'm not the one purchasing ;p)

03:14:52Gekk0my ipod nano runs in rockbox for 8 hours :)
03:14:54Soaphoped to improve. All the other targets accheive excellent runtime, often exceeding stock.

03:16:11SoapGekk0: it would be cool if you could contribute to http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodRuntime
03:16:14PaulPositionTman - When Soap talks of the iPod target, he also means Sansa e200 and iRiver H10's which are based on the same chipset.
03:16:18Gekk0really?
03:16:25Tmanah
03:16:44SoapPP speaks the truth about the PP targets.
03:16:49Gekk0ok
03:16:54Gekk0ill do a runtime tonight i guess
03:17:07PaulPositionJdGordon - I didn't indeed as someone told me those don't outlive the plugins' execution and the themes I used seemed to approve when I tested but I'm willing to test once more. :o
03:17:49JdGordonoh?
03:17:56SoapGekk0: you don't have to. It would be great if you could do controlled tests in the rockbox AND apple firmware. Rockbox runtimes alone don't tell anybody much as they don't indicate what the batter condition is. Testing in both allows one to see RB as a % of Apple.
03:18:41Gekk0ok
03:18:42Gekk0ill do that
03:18:44Gekk0ill do both
03:18:45Gekk0:D
03:18:50PaulPositionJdGordon - I'll test anyway, just to see wether it restores theme's .cfg defaults or the exact same colors the user has chosen. Thanks for raising it up anyway.
03:19:05PaulPosition(I mean, the question..)
03:19:15SoapSeeing the last recording commit, do any of the developers want a line-in dongle for the iPod? I've made half a dozen of them.
03:19:34Soapif so PM me a postal address and I'll send one out.
03:19:36JdGordonthere is no explicit call to resettin the user colours after exiting a plugin... unless lcd_set_drawinfo() does it?
03:19:50Gekk0Line-in?
03:19:55Gekk0doesnt work on nano i assume
03:20:29JdGordonSoap: better of asking in 10 hours or so when ppl are awake.. or non the dev ml
03:20:44PaulPositionJdGordon - I can't say I understand enough of RB's general structure to really comment. I can fiddle then test then fiddle again but there stops my understanding. :p
03:20:46SoapI'll post in the forums.
03:20:50Gekk0Soap,
03:20:54Gekk0it only works on the 5g?
03:21:00JdGordonPaulPosition: haha ok
03:21:24Soapdev ML, I get it, but never sent to it. Do I reply to the email, or use another address?
03:21:46Soapnvm

05:01:28Blueberry*either
05:01:42SoapBlueberry: a good tagger will create directory structure for you.
05:02:19BlueberryI mean, if you have Ben Folds, Beck, Basement Jaxx, Bjork.. then Cake.. i'd like it if there was a little visual indication that it had changed from b's to c's

05:03:13Blueberryits a rendering thing not a structure thing
05:03:18Soap?
05:03:42Gekkkoim confused too now lol
05:05:08Blueberryyou have a folder with folders for each artists within.. if you have a bunch of a artists and a bunch of b artists and a bunch of c.. sometimes you're looking for a certain artist that starts with a certain letter, and for me personally at least it would be easier on my eyes if there was some visual indication that its changed to a different starting letter in the directory list

05:13:19Blueberryuse software that supports ogg
05:13:22Gekkkoim sick of supporting people. lol
05:13:24Blueberrybleh
05:13:42Gekkkoits about music
05:13:45Gekkkorockbox is aobut music
05:13:48Soapbut this channel isn't
05:13:48Gekkkowhy cant we talk music
05:13:55Soapthis is the #Rockbox channel.
05:14:05Gekkko...
05:14:27Blueberryrockbox! put one white line then one black then one white between the lines of files/folders when the leading letter of those change from the previous entry, and i will love you forever
05:14:40GekkkoBUT
05:14:44Gekkkothat would be an annoyancfe to me
05:14:46Gekkkoand possibly others.
05:14:54Soapthere is the foobar #noise and #noshit channel for yacking and #freenode-social
05:15:07Blueberryone more option won't hurt anyone :/
05:15:25Soapone more option bloats binary size and decreases audio buffer.
05:15:26Gekkkoi wonder how that would even be programmed in

05:15:56Gekkkoim useless at C
05:16:03Blueberrywait.. what happens when you open a plugin?
05:16:03Gekkkoi cant even do pseudocode for it ol
05:16:04Soapand what you say you need is really odd, and as much as I hate to admit it, Gekkko's "B−−−−−−" folder insertion solves it painlessly.
05:16:33Blueberrysurely plugins need memory to run.. but if audio buffer is everything left over.. where does it get it from? does rockbox wait for the buffer to play enough to allocate the memory?
05:16:34Gekkkoum... the plugin loads?
05:16:51daveyatesnew to the room. Any pointers/advise/or gotchas associated with rockbox on an ipod photo with amarok?
05:17:11BlueberryI dont understand what the heck gecko is saying with the letters and hypens
05:17:16Gekkkoturn on database.
05:17:16Soapthe filetree view is just that, raw filetree viewing. Adding any sort of indicator scattered amongst the folders kinda defeats the purpose, and I know of no other OS with such an odd feature.
05:17:19GekkkoBlueberry
05:17:31Gekkkowhen you add a file D−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−Z, the Z makes it go the the bottom of D
05:17:40Gekkkothat way you have a line that seperates D from E
05:17:50Gekkkothen for E youd make E−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−-Z to seperate E and F
05:17:51SoapBlueberry: he is saying create an empty folder named "B−−−−−−" and it will act as a deliminator between the A folders and the B folders.
05:18:09Blueberry:/
05:18:14Blueberrythats a really messed up way to do it
05:18:18SoapGekkko: "DZ" would go to the bottom of D. "D−−−−−−−−-Z" would go to the top of D
05:18:24Gekkkoreally?
05:18:28Blueberrybesides wasting a ton of precious pixels
05:18:28Gekkkothen DZ−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
05:18:28Gekkkolol
05:18:46Gekkkour screen is monochrome
05:18:51Gekkkoand you complain about wasted pixels
05:18:52Gekkkolol.
05:18:59Blueberryyes, but its not a character screen, its a pixel screen
05:19:02Soapyo Gekkko, cut that out.
05:19:36Gekkko:(
05:19:44Soapthis is no place for insulting someone's player.
05:19:54Blueberrymy pixels are important, more wasted pixels means less useful info on screen, a seperator line could be rendered in 3 pixels height, using folders would take an entire font height on the screen
05:20:17Gekkkoi use nedore because its small and stylish
05:20:23Gekkkofits a lot on the screen
05:20:33SoapBlueberry: feel free to file a feature request, but I think the folder compromise is as close as you will ever ge.
05:20:36Soapget
05:20:47Blueberry*grumble grumble*
05:20:55Soapdon't grumble, code.
05:20:58Blueberryrockbox needs better usability
05:21:04Soapthen do it.
05:21:06BlueberryI can't write in c or c++
05:21:09Gekkkolol
05:21:13scorchewe are open to suggestions
05:21:15Gekkkolearn like im trying
05:21:19PaulPositionblueberry - What would be a mess-up, and a total one at that, would be to change a perfectly fine file system to accomodate for all sorts of visual gizmosing..
05:21:19Soapthen don't tell others how to do it.
05:21:20Blueberryi can get about as far as javascript..
05:21:32Blueberrybow before my low level coding skills :p
05:21:45Gekkkoi nearly laughed
05:21:46PaulPositionblueberry - file system.. I meant file tree view of course.
05:21:47Gekkkobut id get banned
05:21:48Gekkkolol
05:22:04BlueberryPaulPosition, I never suggested changing the file system, thats what everyone else has been telling me to do!
05:22:21Gekkkonah!
05:22:24Soapnobody suggested that.
05:22:34Gekkkooh noes its English lessons.
05:23:02Blueberrypeoples visual cortex's aren't CSV parsers.. sometimes visual gozmo's can be useful things!
05:23:35Soaphow do you do it in your Desktop OS, Blueberry?
05:23:35Blueberrynot all information comes in text and numbers, line seperators can provide useful information faster than the current layout
05:24:07Blueberryin windows, you right click, Arrange Icons By > Show In Groups, inside a folder
05:24:17Blueberryfor a similar, though much more pixel sucking effect
05:24:48Blueberryfor small screen, it would definitly need to be more efficient.. I think three rows of pixels is pretty efficient though
05:24:54GekkkoBlueberry
05:25:01Gekkkowhy do you need the seperators anyway?
05:25:05Gekkkoi know why
05:25:12Gekkkobut for exactly what situaution
05:25:12Blueberryto find music faster
05:25:19Gekkkobut how much faster would it make it?
05:25:22Gekkko3 seconds?
05:25:23PaulPositionBlueberry - But usability is also about not bloating everything with so many options no one even dates having a look in them anymore.. It's already a bit of a problem with rb..
05:25:41Gekkkowhat's party mode, ive been meaning to ask that
05:25:43Blueberryif i gain 3 seconds on every album change for the life of my mp3 player, thats an achievement
05:25:51Blueberrythats what technology is for, making stuff easier
05:26:05Gekkkoo-o
05:26:13Gekkkobut for what price.
05:26:17SoapI grok what you want and why Gekkko, but as a happy user of filetree view with over 500 album folder in my main directory, I can't say I've even felt the need.
05:26:25Soapnot Gekkko, Blueberry.
05:26:26Gekkkoit seems like many lines of code
05:26:32Gekkkofor 3 seconds of life.
05:27:22BlueberryBut.. I never felt i needed an mp3 player.. I could burn all my music to cd's and still use a discman.. but an mp3 player sure is a lot nicer
05:27:46Gekkkoalso, have you thought about using the search function?
05:27:51BlueberryI never needed a surround sound system, but it sure does make my music sound nicer..
05:28:01BlueberryI still don't know how to get it to work
05:28:05Soapyou've spent 30 minutes on this. 30 minutes at three seconds savings = 600 album changes.
05:28:09Soap;)
05:28:19Gekkkogeneral settings, database, initialise, reboot, update, reboot, search
05:28:50BlueberryI've tried to switch it on in the past and it never seemed to bother indexing my files.. but part of the problem with that is that its a shared player, my roommate has a ton of heavy metal stuff on this in her own folder
05:29:03PaulPositionBlueberry - More seriously, you can post a feature request on flyspray and hope that someone with some skillz feel the same way as you, maybe at least get an unofficial patch out of it, but I wouldn't hold my breath..
05:29:48Blueberryfirefox crashed :(
05:32:40Gekkkoat one point on a cvs build bubbles stopped moving smoothly when playing music on the ipod
05:32:52Gekkkowas there a code optomisation that was slightly flawed?

06:40:45PaulPositionWhen 'cvs update -dP' -ing, what happens to file you modified? (They aren't touched but are they, like, at least mentioned?!?)
06:41:03LloreanThey're touched.
06:41:14PaulPositionLlorean - Isn't that only with -C ??!
06:41:26Llorean-dP will attempt to merge your files
06:41:40LloreanIf there's a newer version, it tries to add in the new changes where applicable while preserving your changes.
06:41:50scorcheit is much like a patch
06:41:53PaulPositionLlorean - Ohhh.. Like a diff, then?
06:41:54LloreanIf not possible it leaves the file alone and creates a conflict file so that you can do it manually.
06:42:00LloreanAlmost exactly like a diff.
06:42:04PaulPositionLlorean - Perfect! Thanks :)
06:42:20LloreanEssentially updateing -dP diffs your current files against CVS at that time, then reapplies the diff to the new CVS.

06:45:38Nimdaecuz i noticed the behavior of the hold switch has changed
06:45:53Nimdaeand that's something that attracts me ;)
06:45:59LloreanHdaackda: I assume you used the old install instructions then, the new ones should load Apple_OS fine.'
06:46:17Hdaackda(but the screen seems to be pretty small). umm, yes i used the old ones
06:46:19LloreanNimdae: Linuxstb said it was at my suggestion, but that was an old idea of mine, having a newer one that I think was better. =/
06:46:27Hdaackdawhere can I find the new ones?
06:46:36LloreanHdaackda: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallationBeta

06:47:22Hdaackdayes, i did :)
06:47:25Nimdaei think i might update the bootloader tomorrow
06:47:34LloreanNimdae: It's a very painless process now.
06:47:40Nimdaei see that

06:49:20Nimdaei haven't been keeping up on flyspray or the forums, find some new hardware tweaks?
06:49:28LloreanWell, there have been developments in the PortalPlayer front which *MIGHT* affect battery life.
06:49:43scorcheno...i am just carrying out dan's idea
06:49:50LloreanDan's idea?
06:49:50scorcheand hoping it will help
06:50:01Nimdaeawww crap, rockbox update reset my settings :(
06:50:13scorcheLlorean: about testing each bit and disabling that which doesnt break
06:51:18Lloreanscorche: Ah. Well, there's also been some new discoveries relating to the USB hardware on the PP chip (specifically that it's similar to that on another chip, and thusly we might be able to guess some stuff from what's known about it), if I understand correctly
06:51:27LloreanThere's a lot of "guessing" and speculation involved though
06:51:49Hdaackdabtw, is there any way i can Jump to a certain time in an mp3 file or an audiobook in rockbox. e.g. i want to listen from after the first 10 minutes?
06:51:51Nimdaedoes that mean we MIGHT have usb functionality in rockbox soon?
06:52:00Nimdaeon the PP hardware i mean
06:52:24scorcheLlorean: well, hopefully, both efforts work =)
06:52:35NimdaeHdaackda: well, you can fast forward, but if you are wanting to stop at a point, do something else, then come back, you might try looking at bookmarks
06:53:13lexhmm hey, how can i use tagcache on my 5.5G? :o
06:53:46scorchebut it is entirely possible that what i am doing is useless because the PP diables all that which is not active

09:25:38CassandraWould be really good to have a fully working 5.5G port.
09:26:15CassandraThere've been rumours the iPhone will be announced today. Wonder if we're going to be able to stick Rockbox on that. ;)
09:27:12GodEater_Webwell I've narrowed the problem down now to something with ata_read_sectors() when trying to get the partition list
09:27:37CassandraSounds like you're almost there, assuming that's the only problem.
09:27:39GodEater_Webthe ata controller is returning one of STATUS_BSY, STATUS_ERR or STATUS_DF
09:27:39linuxboyCassandra: what is the 5.5G ?
09:27:51GodEater_WebDisk full ?
09:27:57GodEater_Webor something weirder?
09:28:03terriblyineptCassandra - And this just after I read an article detailing how the iPhone will -never- happen. Silly people.
09:28:04CassandraThe current iPod models sold by Apple.
09:28:15linuxboyCassandra: 5.5th Generation ?
09:28:34Cassandraterriblyinept, I think it's generally accepted that the iPhone is coming.
09:29:07*amiconn would still prefer to always put the G before the number
09:29:13CassandraGodEater_Web, disk full is a good guess, assuming that's not the one that's being returned.
09:29:28amiconnIt happened several times that people mistook the 'G' for gigabyte
09:29:43CassandraThat'd be 5GB.
09:29:56*GodEater_Web agrees with Cassandra
09:30:04amiconnTell them. It happened, not only once...
09:30:11Bagderhence we call it "5th gen" these days
09:30:31amiconnThat's better, but also longer to type...
09:30:41Bagderyeah
09:30:45GodEater_WebI saw in some ancient irc log some ATA PDF that linuxstb used
09:30:51GodEater_Websomewhere on the RB wiki
09:30:57GodEater_Webanyone have the link ?
09:31:07amiconnVery easy to find...
09:31:20terriblyineptCassandra - Well, despite the article, I wasn't convinced. Now, whether I'd -ever- want one, I can't say.
09:31:25GodEater_WebATA returns a lot of results
09:31:29Bagderhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/pub/Main/DataSheets/ata-atapi-v5.pdf ?
09:31:31amiconnDocumentation->Index has a link to the datasheets page
09:31:42terriblyineptLoving my H10 5GB, for the time being.
09:31:47*Cassandra shrugs. I refuse to try to disamguate everything I say totally (1) it's impossible, and (2) human beings have brains that are perfectly designed for interpreting based on context. Hardly my fault if some of them refuse to use them.
09:32:14GodEater_Webthanks Bagder
09:32:21Cassandraterriblyinept, maybe if it runs Rockbox.
09:32:23 Quit markun ("leaving")
09:33:32terriblyineptCassandra - I'd be surprised if anyone were interested in making Rockbox phone capable. Not that dualboot wouldn't be possible, but hey, at that point (and probably many points previous) I think I personally would be best-suited just having two separate devices.
09:36:04GodEater_Webgiven someone expressed an interest running it on a GPS device recently in the forums, I wouldn't be surprised about people being interested in running rockbox on a tumble drier these days
09:36:24GodEater_Webor other <insert_odd_device_here>
09:36:25Cassandraterriblyinept, I can see a potential future for Rockbox on multi-purpose devices. I honestly believe it's where MP3 players will be at in 5 years or so. Currently Rockbox isn't really suited to that purpose, but it may happen in future.
09:37:41terriblyineptWell, I could certainly see it if first, developers took enough interest and were capable (the capable part being a little easier, as far as what I've seen in this and other open source projects) and end users wanting it.
09:39:11CassandraThe real problem is that we need more capable developers.
09:39:18CassandraPreferably ones without a life.
09:39:49terriblyineptI'm not exactly capable, but I certainly have no life. Or, at least, enough room for a million hobbies, as I'm no good with the sleep thing.
09:39:50CassandraMost of our developers are far too well rounded for the good of the project.
09:40:22terriblyineptHow do you mean?
09:41:00CassandraOh, they all have families, friends, hobbies, jobs, that sort of thing. Annoying distractions that take them away from Rockbox.
09:41:40*petur knows the feeling
09:42:14GodEater_Webwe need more devs who don't notice things like Christmas turning up until someone reminds them
09:43:22terriblyineptHmm. What sorts of coding should I be familiar with, in addition to hardware? Just to give me a spin in the right direction. (I'm also currently looking at the Wiki for that sort of thing.)
09:45:50Cassandraterriblyinept, Rockbox is just C. (Or C++ in the case of the installer.)
09:46:32 Join markun [0] (n=markun@rockbox/developer/markun)
09:47:22GodEater_Webright - it's STATUS_ERR that's being returned.

10:09:20Lloreanlinuxstb_: From the firmware partition, or the main partition?
10:09:48linuxstb_Llorean: What would be useful is if you could test: "-rf apple_os.ipod", "-wf bootloader-ipodnano.ipod" and then copy apple_os.ipod to the FAT32 partition and try to boot it.

10:10:44webguest20Hi. Is it possible to receive the text sent over the radio (RDS?) on h120? Like in cars.
10:10:59LinusNwebguest20: no
10:11:00amiconnOkay.
10:11:00linuxstb_No, the FM module can't decide RDS.
10:11:04Lloreanlinuxstb_: Will do
10:11:08linuxstb_s/decide/decode/
10:12:34webguest20LinusN: does it lack some hardware? Or why else?
10:12:54LinusNit lacks the RDS decoder hardware
10:13:17Lloreanlinuxstb_: It says "apple_os.ipod loaded" but then just reboots into the apple logo and Rockbox bootloader again
10:14:09webguest20LinusN: ok, thanks! But it should be possible to plug smth in −− like real time clock mod, right? (This is of course not for everyone!)
10:14:45LinusNwebguest20: that would be really difficult, far more difficult than the RTC mod
10:15:19Lloreanlinuxstb_: What has changed since that test you had me run ages ago that loaded apple_os.bin from the disk?
10:15:51linuxstb_Llorean: Does it keep rebooting? It worked reliably the second time for preglow (but he has a v1.0 or v1.1 Nano without the RSRC image).
10:16:04Lloreanlinuxstb_: Continual rebooting.
10:16:18webguest20LinusN: ah... Then I'll forget it.
10:16:33LloreanIt rebooted at least 3 or 4 times before I stopped it.

10:18:19linuxstb_But it works reliably on my Photo...
10:18:33LloreanI bet it's the RCSC then.
10:18:52Llorean5Gs just reboot when Apple_OS tries to load without the RCSC.
10:19:21linuxstb_But the Nanos didn't - they booted, but music didn't work...
10:19:45 Nick linuxstb_ is now known as linuxstb (n=linuxstb@rockbox/developer/linuxstb)
10:19:45amiconnlinuxstb_: Maybe the apple loader loads the rsrc into memory somewhere?
10:19:46scorchelinuxstb_: havent seen the question asked or answered yet, but with the new bootloader, how do you clear the settings on boot?
10:20:02amiconnA RAM dump from a specially prepared bootloader should tell us...
10:20:05Lloreanamiconn: The rcsc is 16mb on Nano, it seems unlikely.
10:20:15LloreanThough I guess, buffering on Nano is unnecessary.
10:20:38linuxstbamiconn: That would explain it - it would then be overwritten by our bootloader's BSS segment (which is located 16MB into RAM).
10:21:12*Llorean is willing to offer up his Nano to experimentation.
10:21:15linuxstbBut as Llorean says, it's 16MB and only contains the Nike-related voice files (WAV) and other datafiles.
10:21:21amiconnlinuxstb: To make sure, we could make a special bootloader that dumps the ram and has the bss as part of the binary (which we normally avoid)
10:21:55LinusNamiconn: i think most RDS decoder chips use a regular serial port, but i don't really know
10:22:26linuxstbscorche: Turn the hold switch on during the time between the bootloader starting and Rockbox starting.
10:22:50scorchealright
10:22:59linuxstbI never missed...
10:23:32amiconnlinuxstb: Btw, is there a special reason for the large bss offset?
10:24:26linuxstbNormally, the bootloader is appended to the end of the Apple firmware, and the Apple bootloader will load this combined image to the start of RAM. So starting the Apple firmware is just a matter of branching to the Apple firmware's entry point.
10:24:53linuxstbThat will consume the first 5MB-6MB of RAM, so I just put the BSS at 16MB to be safe.
10:25:13amiconnIf the bootloader is at the end, the bss could still be put directly after it
10:26:19linuxstbTrue. Although the bootloader is linked to run from IRAM (it copies itself there, not using any absolute addresses before that happens), so it would take a little lds magic I think. It was easier to just fix it.
10:26:32amiconnHmm.
10:26:32 Quit FranzBlattler (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer))
10:26:56amiconnThen bss could go into iram as well
10:27:05linuxstbNo, there is too much bss...
10:27:10amiconnI did a similar thing for the archos self-extractor
10:27:37amiconnIt runs completely from iram (code, bss and stack). There's only a tiny code stub that does the copying
10:27:43amiconn(< 100 bytes)
10:27:59amiconnoh ok
10:28:46linuxstbMainly the temporary buffer used to load the rockbox.ipod. I don't load it directly to the start of RAM in case the checksum fails, so we can default to the Apple firmware already there. But maybe that's not so important.
10:29:39amiconnI think doing it this way is good.
10:29:49 Join Franz [0] (n=dspx@p54A8F2FB.dip.t-dialin.net)
10:30:19amiconnBut for such large, varying buffer I usually don't use bss, but allocate the memory separately
10:30:47amiconnThe self-extractor has to do a similar thing, as in-place decompression wouldn't work
10:31:18amiconnFirst it copies the (included) compressed image to the end of RAM, then decompresses it into its final location

10:37:43 Quit webguest20 ("CGI:IRC")
10:37:57linuxstbBut yes, a RAM dump from the bootloader on a Nano would be a good idea to see if anything unexpected is there. For that, we could link entirely in IRAM.
10:41:32Falco98hey guys
10:41:43 Quit GodEater_Web ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
10:41:49Falco98i'm really happy to see the Sansa 200 is under active and progressing development
10:42:20Falco98since it's actually a player i've seen alot in the stores (unlike the iriver h140, which i never saw in a store, even though it's the best)
10:42:59amiconnbarrywardell: Really here?
10:43:10barrywardellamiconn: yes
10:43:22amiconnThe remaining warning in mp3_enc.c is odd
10:43:35amiconnNot the warning itself, but rather its reason
10:43:50linuxstbbarrywardell: AFAIK, the Nano doesn't have recording hardware...
10:43:54barrywardellamiconn: yes. i left it because i wasn't sure what the best solution would be
10:43:57amiconnmp3 is a byte stream, so I don't understand the necessity to endian swap the encoded data
10:44:47barrywardelllinuxstb: no? maybe i'll undefine HAVE_RECORDING for it. is there somebody that can test first?
10:45:01barrywardellamiconn: I was hoping to ask jhMikeS about it
10:45:18amiconnchunk->enc_data is an unisgned char*
10:45:21linuxstbbarrywardell: Although no-one has actually confirmed that by building a line-in adapter... I'm just basing it on the fact that there are no official recording add-ons and a version of the Wolfson codec with a slightly different number.
10:45:23amiconn...hence the warning
10:45:46*Falco98 wonders if he has voice in here...
10:45:46Lloreanlinuxstb: And the "recording test" in the debug mode doesn't seem to do anything at all, it just ends.
10:45:54*Llorean doesn't have a line in adapter.
10:46:16*petur notes somebody is offering some
10:46:43amiconnIirc Cassandra bought a whole bunch of ipod connectors
10:46:45barrywardellamiconn: yes, and it's expecting uint32_t*

10:47:26GodEater_Webhands up if you understand the Error register stuff in ATA ?
10:47:33amiconn..i.e. the resulting files are playable?
10:47:40barrywardellamiconn: yes, it does work perfectly
10:47:50amiconnThat's really odd then
10:48:39GodEater_Webbetter question : when ata_read_sectors() fails, I'm checking the content of the Error register, and the only bit coming back set is IDNF
10:48:41barrywardelllinuxstb: I wasn't sure which iPod targets would actually work,so I just left the HAVE_RECORDING #defines as they were in your original patch
10:48:45linuxstbAnyone know what ipod Soap owns?
10:48:50GodEater_WebI'm not quite sure what that means - so I'm not sure what to check next
10:49:19linuxstbbarrywardell: I shouldn't have defined it for the Nano, it must have been leftover from some tests.
10:49:40barrywardellamiconn: I considered just casting to uint32_t* to get rid of the warning, but wasn't sure that was the right thing to do
10:49:42linuxstbbarrywardell: But I would say leave it there for now, and we can take it out if/when someone confirms it doesn't work.
10:50:28LloreanWhat country is Soap in?
10:50:44LloreanHe used the words "Postal address" so I'm guessing not US.

10:50:56LloreanReally?

10:51:49amiconnGodEater_Web: In response to what ata command?
10:51:52linuxstbDelivered by the US postal service...
10:51:58LloreanIt's just not common to call them "postal", but rather just "A mailing address" or "your address" when it's obvious that it's mail (such as that)
10:52:00LloreanAt least down here in TX
10:52:01amiconnMost bits are defined to be command dependent

11:01:45GodEater_Webis the address the bit of the disk we're trying to read ?

11:10:51amiconnGodEater_Web: Hmm, I could think of 2 possibilities. Either the disk has a 'host protected area' set, if it supports that feature.
11:10:52Slasheria dab chip would be nice though.. fm radios have a poor receiption
11:11:02roolkuSlasheri: too big, more pins and different layout unfortunately
11:11:21amiconnIdentify data word 82 bit 10 and word 85 bit 10 should tell you
11:11:40amiconn(the former whether the feature set is supported and the latter whether it's enabled)
11:11:54amiconnThe other possibility would be a password protection
11:12:09Terinjokesbrb, hopefully this update will fix
11:12:13 Part Terinjokes
11:12:58amiconnThen we would need SECURITY_UNLOCK (and gather the password from retailos somehow)
11:12:58GodEater_Webum - okay - getting out of my depth now - want to tell me how to do that amiconn ?
11:13:39Slasheriweird.. might be possible that apple has secured the hdds with a password to prevent user from switching them
11:13:52amiconnVery possible.
11:13:53GodEater_Websector, low and high cylinders are all coming back zero after that error
11:13:57GodEater_WebI'm not sure if that's a hint
11:14:04amiconnNo it's not
11:14:29LinusNcould it be an lba48 issue?
11:14:38amiconnI sincerely doubt that
11:14:57LinusNme too, actually
11:15:04amiconnI'm not sure, but I expect lba48 devices to come up in lba28 mode for backwards compatibility

11:16:00GodEater_Webah - ok - I'll check there
11:16:48GodEater_Webin between doing some real work =/
11:17:10*amiconn strongly suspects that there is a password set in the 80GB disks
11:17:42amiconnPrevents people from slapping them into other devices than ipods

11:18:25amiconnidentify data word 128 would be very interesting...
11:18:28linuxstbSo the Apple bootloader would unlock the disk, read the firmware, then lock it again, and then the main firmware would unlock it again?
11:18:39LinusNwell, then we would need to retrieve the password
11:18:53LinusNwhich is likely to be unique to each device

11:41:39Terinjokespetur, exactly
11:42:15GodEater_Webanyone got anything else they want me to try ?
11:42:18linuxstbcrashd: You shouldn't need to uninstall the current bootloader. Unless you've done something unusual, or have a 5.5g and installed with the buggy ipod_fw, the new ipodpatcher should work fine and replace the bootloader when you do "-a bootloader-XXXX.ipod"
11:42:38crashdhmm
11:42:43crashdi might give it a spin then
11:42:55Terinjokeshehe. have to update the instructions AGAIN!
11:42:55LloreanEven if you have to reinstall, ipodpatcher N -w bootpartition.bin doesn't do anything to your music.
11:42:58linuxstbBut you could backup your current firmware partition just in case (-r file.bin) with the new ipodpatcher before upgrading, just to be safe.
11:43:35linuxstbBut more likely than not, ipodpatcher should detect if you've made your firmware partition incompatible in some way with the new way it works.

11:47:36Falco98well i'm very used to RB's dynamic playlists, i just didn't know about how the different inserts work with each other
11:48:00Falco98there doesn't seem to be a clear explanation anywhere, like of specific cases or anything
11:48:47Falco98the thing i'm having trouble with is, if i've made a whole playlist with "inserts", then everything would basically be going in "last" anyway
11:48:58Falco98so when would "last" really be needed?
11:49:06peturI think somebody explained it in the forums once, have a search there

11:51:02Falco98so then a new "insert" would throw stuff in just after the current track...

11:51:26Falco98but if i inserted "last", then continued doing regular inserts, tracks would be appended at the end only?
11:51:28GodEater_Webthat looks broken

11:54:06GodEater_WebLinusN: btw - I'm blythely assuming that identity_info doesn't change anywhere - so I'm just dumping this all out from the point in ata_read_sectors() that I had my lcd_puts stuff in from earlier. Hope that's ok.
11:54:26LinusNyes
11:54:43GodEater_Webthank goodness
11:55:09n1sFalco98: do you think this description is better, http://pastebin.ca/283448
11:55:09LinusNGodEater_Web: but it all works up to READ_MULTIPLE?
11:55:15GodEater_Webyep
11:55:17LloreanFalco98: If you feel a clearer set of instructions should be in the manual, feel free to post a patch, or at least a correction and indication of where it belongs.
11:55:51GodEater_Webnow that I've replaced the two sleep() calls in perform_soft_reset() with udelay() calls
11:56:02Falco98Llorean: deal. of course at this stage i'm just trying to figure it out for myself ;-)
11:56:19LinusNGodEater_Web: then i think you should try to remove the calls to freeze_lock() and set_features()
11:56:27Falco98n1s: that looks... hm.. nearly identical to what's in the h120 manual online, no?

11:59:04GodEater_Webright
11:59:07GodEater_Webbear with me
11:59:42Falco98so would it be accurate to say that *insertion point* is a variable set to (previously inserted stuff + 1)... and if nothing, then it's current_track + 1 ...?
12:00
12:00:01n1syes I think so
12:00:15Falco98so if i'm in the middle of a CD and i do an insert, it goes next
12:00:23Falco98and then if i do an insert_last, it goes at the end
12:00:27Falco98another insert puts stuff at the end

13:19:29amiconnjhMikeS: Did you see my comment regarding doom and the 64 bit warnings?
13:20:31jhMikeSamiconn: Looked in the logs. must have missed it. lemme check again.
13:21:58jhMikeSok, so what's the details with that exactly? I tried to make the cast correct for what it seemed to be needing it for.
13:22:14amiconnYes, but the structure element shouldn't be a pointer at all
13:22:28amiconnIt's a remnant of the original code
13:23:03amiconnThe original code seems to use the file stream functions (f*), so the pointer was used to store a FILE *
13:23:22amiconnBut in rockbox there is only low-level file i/o using file descriptors
13:23:43jhMikeSok, it should get sign extended correctly but if it can be simpler then just make it an int?
13:23:50amiconnI thought it would be better to just wait for kkurbjun to fix that properly
13:24:26amiconnSome checks need adjustment (e.g. FILE * == NULL means failure, but fd == 0 is perfectly valid)
13:24:33amiconnThen the code could support .deh files
13:25:09jhMikeSSuppose I could search for every instance and make adjustments. The comparison with < 0 for failure was already there but with an int cast.
13:25:39amiconnstruct DEHFILE looks like it could just be changed to using int
13:26:01amiconnIt's private to that single source file anyway
13:26:50jhMikeSthen it sounds pretty simple to get any == NULL stuff corrected or other problems
13:27:35jhMikeSI made the assumption again that the original porter would have made the nescessary changed for rb compatibility :)

14:22:47amiconnjhMikeS: Currently it *only* supports deh lumps, but not files
14:23:56amiconnjhMikeS: Regarding the mp3 encoder - I don't understand why the encoded data must be byte swapped when it's just a byte stream...
14:24:21jhMikeSamiconn: right, I see that alot of code accesses the lumps through the inp member so there should probably be an fd member and less code will have to change
14:26:16jhMikeSamiconn: it encodes out as little endian int32 blocks on le platforms but every four bytes must be swapped around. perhaps the encoder could be revamped to just write it correcly in the first place but more work would be needed

15:13:18JdGordonwell, obviously a largish buffer can always be statically alloated, but its easier and less likely to be watsed with malloc
15:14:34amiconnYes, and usually it's even better to try to get around using a largish buffer
15:15:06amiconnThe problem with malloc is that you would need a ton more error checks, and still not get as good memory usage as we do now

15:16:12amiconnWhy do we need buffering there?

15:19:30JdGordonfs 5591 does a different optimization, but looks better actually
15:20:07amiconnOf course we could redraw less often, but then it will look rather jumpy
15:21:03JdGordonthe problem with the list is the callback for every item on the screen is called every time the screen changes, when really only at most 2 need to be called again
15:21:41JdGordonsorry, at most 1 needs to be called again (for each redraw)
15:22:05amiconn?
15:22:43JdGordonthe only item which would need to be checked is the new one coming onto the screen. all others would be in a buffer.
15:23:03JdGordonso, if you are using a tiny font it would potentially be a big speed boost
15:23:11amiconnno
15:23:16JdGordonno?
15:23:30amiconnThe callback is only a small fraction of the whole redraw time
15:23:34jhMikeSHere I am fixing deh file loading and I don't even know what they're for or how to do testing for it =:)
15:23:43amiconnThe actual text drawing takes significantly longer
15:24:21amiconn...and that's called for every line on the screen when scrolling

15:26:15JdGordonbut in general, lcd drawing is much slower than code to get the text?
15:26:57amiconnJust a little comparison: How long is the text that's about to be displayed? And how many pixels are that?

15:28:14amiconnI have some ideas for speeding up mono bitmap (and hence text) drawing, but the effect will probably only be significant on coldfire targets (h300, x5)
15:28:26JdGordonsuits me :D
15:28:33amiconnOn pp targets the effect would be minor
15:29:33amiconn(probably)
15:29:49jhMikeSsuits me too...what about those DEH files? :)
15:31:13amiconnJdGordon: But coming back to list scrolling: I never got stopping music from scrolling lists on any of my targets (which don't include a G5). I wonder how people manage to make that happen...
15:32:13JdGordonit happened alot more before the schedular, but holding down any list would pause music playback
15:32:26amiconnHolding down?
15:32:46amiconnHmm, maybe it's because of my list lengths and scroll habits
15:32:56JdGordonscrlling the list non-stop
15:33:07*JdGordon is tired
15:33:25lowlightJdGordon: since the lcd scroll code has a buffer for each line, you could use that and only add the new item at the top or bottom of the list, then set a row offset and redraw
15:33:37GodEater_WebI've gone up to word 180 - need me to go higher ?
15:34:02lowlightno extra buffers that way
15:34:14JdGordoninteresting...
15:34:20amiconnlowlight: The scroll buffer is private a, firmware-level buffer in the lcd driver
15:34:29amiconnThe list code shouldn't even know it exists
15:35:04JdGordonso adding a get_scrolling_text() function would be out of the question?
15:35:34amiconnYes, especially since the scrolling lines buffer will go away when viewports get added
15:37:04amiconnAnd to repeat that, you wouldn't gain significant speed anyway

15:38:35amiconnHow complex is the typical callback? I'd say not more than a couple of lines of C code
15:38:51amiconnNow compare this to the _actual_ redrawing work.
15:39:02lowlightamiconn: I don't mean manipulate the scroll buffer, rather be able to set a row offset, ie, make row 2 the top row
15:39:30amiconnlowlight: I repeat: the scrolling lines buffer will go away in its current form
15:39:31lowlightI hear at the Database callback can take quite a while
15:40:27amiconnLet's say the average text line goes across half the screen. On H300, drawing that list means checking 20*8*110 pixels
15:40:42lowlightamiconn: fine...the concept is to specify which row is the "first" row
15:41:16lowlightso you can reuse the buffer/viewport/whatever on rows that don't change
15:41:19GodEater_Webidentity info for words 0 through 179 here : http://pastebin.ca/283673
15:41:21amiconnlowlight: The current method isn't flexible enough for viewports. There will be no notion of lines anymore
15:41:39amiconnDifferent viewports might have different fonts, different x/y coordinates etc
15:42:29lowlightok...then you'd be shifting "y" for the viewports of the "lines" :)
15:42:50amiconnHow do you know which 'line' is which?
15:44:00amiconnImho it doesn't pay off to add a significant level of complexity _here_, when the redrawing itself takes significantly longer
15:44:22lowlightwell, there could be insert_top/insert_bottom functions in the list which shift the rows and add only the new one
15:45:03amiconnThere are no rows
15:45:20amiconnScrolling items could belong to completely different viewports
15:45:36lowlightthen what's a list? one viewport with rows? many viewports stacked in rows?
15:45:49amiconnThe list itself is one viewport
15:46:08amiconnAs soon as a viewport uses scrolling text, it becomes special in that it becomes cloned
15:46:25amiconn...by the scrolling code, in order to store the currrent attributes
15:47:14amiconnA cloned viewport must be closed when it's no longer displayed, in order to release all the scrolling objects (the cloned sub-viewports)
15:47:34GodEater_Webslightly easier to read list of the identity_info words on the 80gig ipod's ATA controller : http://pastebin.ca/283675

17:30:41SimonSelkiI've never used terminal before, I don' know how to change directories or anything
17:30:43GodEater_Webprobably

17:32:10SimonSelkiAnyone here good with Terminal?
17:32:22jhoneyhello i am having a problem with rockbox on my h10 20g. after i install and turn it on it just has a black and white screen with a text directory and a rockbox directory. i followed the instructions to a "t" and am getting frustrated :(
17:32:24SimonSelkiCan anyone hear me?
17:32:37linuxstb_SimonSelki: Are you following the new "IpodInstallationBeta" webpage?
17:32:38peturno, only read
17:32:40*amiconn wonders what would happen if one swaps the disks of a 60GB 5th gen and an 80GB 5.5th gen
17:32:51SimonSelkiNo, I'm using the PDF manual
17:32:57SimonSelkiIs that where I should be?
17:33:11linuxstb_As of today, yes. The manual needs updating.
17:33:16SimonSelkiAh
17:33:24SimonSelkiOkay, I'm going there now
17:34:20jhoneycan anyone point me in the right direction of what i am doing wrong?
17:35:47peturjhoney: what's the problem? seems rockbox booted ok
17:35:49linuxstb_It sounds like everything is fine - the first screen you see in Rockbox is the file browser. Those are the files on your hard disk.
17:36:08 Quit GodEater_Web ("CGI:IRC")
17:36:46linuxstb_I'm guessing the iriver firmware on the H10 hides your music inside a hidden folder. You'll need to enable "show all files" in Rockbox to view them, or enable the Rockbox Database.
17:36:56linuxstb_(the manual will describe how)
17:37:17jhoneyi can't get into the rockbox directory
17:37:38jhoneyto change the settings (i guess)
17:37:49peturread the manual?

17:42:27bluebrotherjhoney: I'm pretty sure that "rockbox directory" is the firmware itself, not a directory

Any chance we might get another one or, if unpracticable, any news on whether you found what made it so it needs new f/w to go along with new bootloader on h10?
17:45:55barrywardellthere shouldn't be much to change to get it in sync again
17:46:07barrywardelli'm hoping to commit it very soon

17:48:02webguest42on the 5.5g ipod can you still boot apple os if you install the rb bootloader?
17:48:36PaulPositionwebguest - On every iPod, if you install conform to the install guide, you should be able to dualboot into the firmware of your choice, yes.

17:50:51PaulPositionwebguest - I wouldn't know for sure as I don't own one but I'm sure if you wait long enough somebody else has the answer.
17:50:52barrywardellI think it's just firmware/SOURCES that had to be updated
17:51:12PaulPositionbarrywardell - Indeed, yes.. Thanks a whole lot I'll let you know how it goes. :D
17:52:42barrywardellnow that we're on the subject, does anybody with an iPod wanna test that patch? it has already been tested on iPod Color, but all other models could do with testing
17:54:48linuxstb_webguest42: The 30GB 5.5g works as well as the 5g in Rockbox. Including dualboot if you use the new set of install tools and instructions (the IpodInstallationBeta webpage).

18:17:24muszekoriginal firmware has big problems recognizing my tags... on the other hand, rockbox on my own iaudio x5 works perfectly
18:17:50barrywardellit is progressing quite quickly
18:18:43muszekthat's good news... is there any rss feed that I cool hook up to and get future announcements?
18:18:51PaulPositionmuszek - The sansa is using a chipset that's much alike that of older iPods and some iRiver players, so whatever development happens on one of these targets, it trickle down to sansa too... :D
18:19:16PaulPosition(well, most development that is..)
18:20:03muszekto be honest, I'm pretty far away from low-level technology... so that doesn't tell me too much :)
18:20:29barrywardellmuszek: you could check the cvs logs for sansa related updates
18:20:33muszekbtw... do you know if Vista uses UTF?
18:21:00PaulPositionmuszek - What's important is that progress on the sansa, from scratch to a good working version, should be fast because of sharing much hardware with other, somewhat more advanced, projects.
18:21:02muszekI'm on linux and most of my mp3-players-related problems come from character encoding
18:21:25muszekI see
18:23:16Bagderbut then, other ports are also benefiting from the sansa work, since that was what cracked the mi4 files ;-)
18:24:16PaulPositionTrue enough and I can only rejoice at that prospect as my player's an iRiver H10. :p
18:24:31Bagderall credits to MrH

18:26:13CassandraSo what's an mi4 file for then?
18:26:19Bagderthe firmware
18:26:34Bagderon basically all non-ipod PP targets
18:27:07Bagdermrh figured out the encryption and tracked down the keys...
18:27:17Bagderand figured out how to "cheat" around the signing
18:28:36PaulPositionBadger - ah... Uh... I still don't see what changed but thats' just stupid me. the scramble tool or mi4code one existed before the sansa port, no?
18:28:46Bagdernope
18:29:10Bagdermi4code was developed during our research of the mi4 files
18:29:27Bagder... which started with our sansa work

18:56:39barrywardellexactly, the h10 is much more similar to the ipod than the Sansa is
18:57:07PaulPositionArathis - The patch you've got from me two weeks ago won't sync anymore... You need http://pastebin.ca/283784 version of the patch... When you apply it will produce rejects on firmware/SOURCES but for all I've seen you can disregard them.
18:57:27PaulPositionThat makes sense, thanks..
18:58:14PaulPositionI just really was under the impression that porting sansa e2xx began like two months ago. But then, that's about when I started getting interested in Rockbox so ...
19:00
19:00:48barrywardellis there any current Rockbox target that has a backlight on the buttons? I wanted to add control of the sansa's scrollwheel backlight, but I'm not sure where to put it or what to call the function.
19:01:12barrywardellI was thinking scrollwheel_light_on(bool)
19:01:17barrywardellin the button driver
19:02:20amiconnNo other target has button light
19:02:54amiconnOn X5 there's also a light we need to decide what to do with
19:03:10n1shte gigabeat F does have buttonlight though
19:03:15amiconnIt has a 2-coloour LED at the top, marked 'CHARGE'
19:03:38amiconnThe of uses it as a charging indicator, red while charging and green when finished
19:04:00barrywardelli think in the button light case, it should just come on when the buttons are in use and then off after a delay
19:04:06barrywardellnot sure about the X5's light
19:04:15amiconnI think it's a bit of waste to use the thing just for charging indication, but then a different use might be confusing...
19:04:47barrywardellArathis: the relevant code in firmware/SOURCES should look like this: http://pastebin.ca/283806
19:04:55amiconnbarrywardell: Yes, I think the button light should react to using the buttons, with a configurable timeout
19:05:22amiconnProbably it shouldn't react when hold is enabled (does the sansa have a hold switch?)
19:05:30barrywardellyes, it has hold
19:05:47CassandraOh for f***s sake. Getting a simple drive letter from a USB device really ought not to be this hard.

20:06:37dan_aCool. Did you get anywhere looking at the USB?
20:07:16barrywardelli took a quick glance at the datasheet, but that's about it so far
20:08:02amiconnI think a new config feature definition is needed for the button light
20:08:36amiconn...so that the ui part can include appropriate setting for it
20:08:41amiconn*settings
20:08:42dan_abarrywardell: I did the same, and worked out what the code in usb-ipod.c is doing. Then decided that doing USB is beyond my abilities for now.
20:09:13barrywardelllol. i haven't been brave enough to get that far yet.
20:10:00*amiconn spotted an ifdef that can probably be eliminated in ata.c
20:10:19barrywardellamiconn: agreed. although that adds extra complexity, so I left it out for now.
20:11:50amiconnI think the goal should that the config-<target>.h files only enable features. The implementation details should be hidden in target tree
20:13:17amiconnE.g. right now the backlight definition is a #define that takes multiple values. When the target tree move is complete, config-<target>.h should just need to #define HAVE_BACKLIGHT so that the ui layer knows there is a backlight
20:14:04barrywardellyes, I understand
20:14:08amiconnIn theory the various <module>-target.h files could contain that, but then the high level would need to include all these

20:14:57amiconn...and in addition, it would be harder to find the correct defines for optional features (those not in cvs, e.g. alarm mod for recorder v1, ondio backlight, or ata poweroff for the player)
20:16:07barrywardellthe backlight code for targets that are in target tree already works like that
20:17:28amiconnAll targets are in target tree more or less, but the move isn't complete yet
20:18:27barrywardellthere's still some stray backlight code in backlight.c that has yet to be moved

20:38:01yossa_hello, just wanted to say, that I've spent the entire evening yesterday trying to override the battery warning on sansa and just when I lost all hope you guys do it :)
20:38:04n1sanyone with a h100 around?
20:38:43amiconnMe (provided that you mean any h1x0)
20:39:18n1syes, can you do a quick test and see if play+ab works to enter mores mode in the virtual keyboard?
20:39:56amiconn?
20:40:13n1smorse mode
20:40:17amiconnAh, you mean morse mode
20:40:20amiconnhehe
20:40:25n1syes, can't type
20:40:36PaulPositionDan/Barry/yossa - trying to help a friend over phone, does the Sansa MSC mode (their naming for UMS right?) allows connection to a linux, or macOS computer? (still just an OF thing, will not be rockboxing it for a while)
20:40:52amiconnYes, it does enter morse mode
20:41:07n1samiconn, thanks the bug is in the maual then :-)
20:41:42*amiconn thinks all targets should have morse mode
20:42:17amiconnOn those with small screens the help would have to be shortened or left out, but that shouldn't stop the mode from working
20:42:43n1syes, if you know the codes ;-)
20:43:27yossa_PaulPosition: yes, as far as I know it does
20:45:00amiconnn1s: Yes, but that's the purpose of morse mode - being faster by not needing to look at the display
20:45:24amiconnI think morse code isn't really hard to learn
20:45:56amiconnI don't know it yet, but if more of my targets would support morse mode, I would start learning it for sure
20:45:56Kasperleit does require some effort though (I tried and gave up too soon ;))
20:46:12*jhMikeS could send telegrams to the Titanic then :)
20:46:18amiconnIn rockbox you don't need to be especially fast
20:46:24n1samiconn: I think someone enabled it for ipods
20:46:39barrywardellPaulPosition: linux, yes. macOS kind of
20:47:09amiconnn1s: Yes, just today
20:47:39PaulPositionbarrywardell - kind of?
20:47:49barrywardellit works sometimes the first time I connect to USB on my mac, but not subsequently until I restart. It also stops other USB disks working until I restard

21:28:00realmi saved all my theme folders from the previous installation
21:28:06realmbut they dont seem to work
21:28:25realmany ideas anyone?
21:29:37linuxstbWhat do you mean by "don't seem to work" ?
21:29:58realmwell i added all the old folders back in
21:30:03realmthe 'wps' folder
21:30:04realmfonts folder
21:30:09realmand backdrop folder
21:30:13pixelmayossa_: yes maybe you could help a bit if you want to :)
21:30:21realmbut when i go look at the theme broswer on rockbox it doesnt see any of them there
21:30:55yossa_pixelma: fill me in, if work samples are required, I have a 2004ish portfolio on the web
21:31:01linuxstbDid you restore the contents of your "./rockbox/themes/" folder?
21:31:09realmhow do i do that?
21:31:12Arathisbarrywardell: it seems after recording playback won't work till I restart the player (H10/20gb)
21:31:22linuxstbThe same way you did the other folders.
21:31:40realmi just uninstalled rockbox and reinstalled it
21:31:41barrywardellArathis: yes, that's one of the known bugs that has yet to be fixed:)
21:31:47realmthen put back my themes folders
21:31:50realmand they dont show up
21:32:13linuxstbWas one of the folders you put back actually called "themes" ?
21:32:35pixelmayossa_: we used vector graphics for the manuals (and maybe later use) - you can take a look at these. I just wanted to have them both not too complex but giving an impression of the real thing
21:32:35realmoh crap!
21:32:38realmi forgot that one
21:32:41realmnooooo
21:32:57realmno wonder they dont work
21:33:02realmwell i still have all the names of the themes
21:33:07realmwhat is the website where i can download themes?
21:33:19realmill just get them all again and just add the themes files again

22:24:09tucozyou should, ask amiconn for his blessing :)

22:26:29n1syes, maybe I should do what preglow suggested and commit it with a "fix typo" message :-D
22:26:46tucozhehe, good idea
22:26:57PaulPositionn1s - One question.. Does it decrease the config_block_version (ie, is there still a setting for poweroff or not anymore) ?
22:27:08tucozdoes your patch remove the option?
22:27:25n1syes, it increases config block and the setting should be gone.
22:28:02amiconnDisk poweroff isn't implemented on any pp target
22:28:09n1stucoz: yes
22:28:18amiconnWe simply don't know how to switch hd power

22:28:48idnarhmm
22:28:50n1ssome users experienced crashes though
22:28:54*idnar ponders X5 battery life
22:29:19PaulPositionAmiconn - interresting.. So whether I set it on or off in the options it actually didn't change a thing?
22:29:50amiconnThe option is there? Then it's most probably implemented
22:30:00n1sPaulPosition: I think it does on the H10, shouldn't be in otherwise, but it would be best to ask barrywardell
22:30:06amiconnThe option should really default to enabled imho
22:30:27amiconnWe should also dig for disk poweroff on the ipods...
22:30:29tucozyep. i can not see why it shouldn´t
22:30:38n1sso amiconn do you think the option should be kept?
22:30:45PaulPositionHehe... I've set the option 'on' on every dailybuild for the last two weeks so I'd suppose if it's disabled it at least doesn't break anything. :p
22:31:21amiconnI'm not sure. From my usage I'd say the option should go, but there might be users who prefer the slightly faster spinup

22:33:20barrywardellyes
22:33:26barrywardelli have a graph somewhere
22:33:34n1sso what is the policy on how large percentage of users wanting an option versus rockbox including it?
22:33:42tucozthen it _should_ be defaulted to on
22:34:13amiconnlinuxstb: Provided that (standard) ipods and irivers use the same disk type, I would expect a similar effect on runtime
22:34:33n1smaybe a poll in the forums "do you _knowingly_ set disk power off to off?"
22:34:41*n1s shrugs
22:34:49barrywardellwell, maybe not a huge amount. about 10% or so

22:39:15n1sIt's not that I don't like options but I think we should take care to have options for things that people really like to set to different things, and not too many, cant remember now but I think Jdgordon said there are about 80 options or so...
22:39:16linuxstbAnything that changes the location (or meaning) of bits in the config sector requires a bump in the version number.
22:39:30jhMikeSooh yeah...choppin down the playback system is fun
22:40:10PaulPositionlinuxstb - Okay, so it really is a version number.. I thought it was some sort of size limit for a stack or something. (shows how much assuming means sh!t)
22:40:11tucozI think some options have historic reasons for being in rockbox still.
22:40:14n1sjhMikeS: btw is anyone doing anything to the recording user interface and menu?
22:40:15markunjhMikeS: are you making changes to pcm_playback.c?
22:40:45linuxstbI've suggested it before, but someone should organise a survey where people upload their .cfg files to a website, and we analyse the options people are actually using.

22:42:29jhMikeSamiconn: depends on what that means. I don't want it aware of direcories or playlists. I just want it given a list of what to play and it does only that
22:42:56n1sjhMikeS: like the trigger menu is just wrong :-P and it also shows a setting that is in another place in the recording menu and I think the rest of the menu is messy
22:43:07jhMikeSI think WPS should do all playback through the playlist system and the playlist system can tell playback what should be done
22:43:39amiconnwps isn't always running
22:43:43jhMikeSn1s: yes, was looking at that. One problem also is recording has no provision for atomic split and pause which it needs
22:43:44amiconn...during playback

22:44:40*linuxstb spots a "HDD Power Off" GPIO pin documented in the IPL wiki for G1-G3 ipods... http://www.ipodlinux.org/GPIO
22:44:50tucozyay
22:45:12amiconnI'm more thinking about the fact that playback.c contains both the playback engine itself and other things like voice
22:45:15tucoztoo bad it´s only g1-g3
22:45:23n1sthat will give the 3g user better battery for sure :-P
22:45:57tucoz^^user :)
22:46:07*amiconn wonders what's up with his recorder's batteries :(
22:46:09jhMikeSamiconn: I see playback and voice as too intimately tied together to split them at this point. The pcm buffer design doesn't really allow it.
22:46:26amiconnThen the pcm buffer needs redesigning
22:46:28PaulPositionn1s - Can't apply your patch... Or rather, can't build. line 420, struct user_settings has no member named disk_poweroff...
22:46:29jhMikeSnor does having swapping
22:46:58PaulPositionn1s - But then again, I applied many patches.. I'll try again from a fresh cvs tonight when I'm back.. :)
22:47:01 Part tucoz ("night")
22:47:03amiconnThe swapping will go away, hopefully soon
22:47:05jhMikeSamiconn: that's why I'm pondering the mixing board style with independent channels but want to be careful and organized about it
22:47:45amiconnIt's a matter of changing to per-target voice files, but this requires some more preparation
22:47:59amiconn(e.g. a slighlty extended voice file format)
22:48:22amiconn...and I don't want to change formats more often than necessary. Blind users certainly wouldn't like that
22:48:46amiconnI am pondering a change of our current target id
22:48:51jhMikeSI think the format requirements should be tight
22:48:57amiconn(used e.g. in the plugin and codec loaders)
22:49:20amiconn...from the current plain number to a 4-letter combination
22:49:34jhMikeSSame as the one in the binary?
22:50:31amiconnAll binary files which need to be per target could then use this id (plugins, codecs, voice files, .lng files ...)
22:51:34linuxstbSounds sensible to me.
22:51:42jhMikeSSo you'd use 'iax5' or the like the firmware?
22:51:55amiconnYes, something like this
22:52:13jhMikeSMaybe they should all be badged the same for a port? :\
22:52:23amiconnyes
22:52:42amiconnOne universal binary id per target
22:55:48n1sPaulPosition: the only hunk that failed for me was the config block number, either increase yourself, reset settings manually or download the new synced patch i just put in the tracker.
22:55:50jhMikeSWhat about x5 vs. x5v and such? The firmware is branded differently there. Maybe a subtype id that the bootloader fills in? Other code can just check a number then and forget calling things like radio_hardware_present
22:56:50amiconnradio_hardware_present() has to stay anyway (not necessarily for all targets perhaps)
22:57:10PaulPositionn1s - Yeah, I updated the config block version number but it wouldn't compile.. As I said, I'm gonna try again tonight when I'm back from playing my biweekly 'palladium rift pen and dice game'.. :p

22:59:26maquisis there a way to get my ipod to stop restarting if i don't have it playing music constantly (it's plugged in)
22:59:46Falco98restarting?
22:59:57maquisyeah...
23:00
23:00:04Falco98describe specifically?
23:00:23fr0y0hey, i need some help on my 1st gen nano. been using rockbox for quite some time now, but since yesterday it starts making problems (not even sure if its rockbox' fault tho). i cant turn the player on. hold is off and i also tried holding select+menu for 10+ secs but it wont work.
23:00:24maquisif i pause the music, and then leave it alone for about 5 minutes, it'll restart and i'll have to go re-do the cpu-scaling and turn shuffle on again
23:00:25banan_maquis: I think you are low on power, recharge it
23:00:35maquisbanan_: i'm plugged in and have been for the entire day
23:00:40 Quit Ribs (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
23:00:42maquisbattery is at full
23:00:45Falco98do you have rockbox running?
23:00:53Falco98i've NEVER had to turn shuffle back on
23:00:58fr0y0when i connect it to a USB-port it starts booting but seems to be in some kind of endless loop. keeps getting on and off.
23:01:12maquisFalco98: yes... i'm using rockbox
23:01:57Falco98and shuffle-mode is reset when you power off and back on? or only if you let it auto-poweroff
23:02:24maquisonly if it auto-poweroffs... or if it's been off for a day or two and then i turn it back on
23:03:10Falco98maybe that's something the ipod port does, but on my iriver i never lose my settings unless i overwrite my config file
23:03:51maquisi've tried creating my own config file, but it never gets used... even when i tell it specifically to load that config
23:04:33Falco98weird
23:04:45maquisi'm going to have to play around a bit more with it, and maybe dig into some code, but i was wondering if this was something others had run into and had a quick fix for
23:04:49Falco98anyone in here know any more about ipods? i'm curious now
23:05:07fr0y0haha, okay nevermind. had it plugged in a few minutes now and it works. im sure that battery was full tho :o
23:05:09linuxstbmaquis: Try disabling the idle poweroff option. But I wouldn't have thought you would have needed that - what ipod do you have?
23:05:11Falco98how recently have you updated your build?
23:05:24*dan_a spots linuxstb spotting things about the 3G
23:05:27Falco98linuxstb: ah there you are :-P i had a question for you
23:05:30maquislinuxstb: it's a mini 1g
23:05:36linuxstbmaquis: Also, are you charging via firewire or USB?
23:05:41 Quit fr0y0 ("( www.nnscript.de :: NoNameScript 4.01 :: www.XLhost.de )")
23:05:51maquisFalco98: it's a build from about 1-2 weeks ago... i was going to update last night and didn't get around to it
23:06:04linuxstbOK, there are no developers with a mini 1g... So welcome aboard.
23:06:06maquislinuxstb: the power-plug, which is firewire, i believe
23:06:35linuxstbDo you get a "power" or "charging" icon appear in Rockbox when you plug it in?
23:06:54maquislinuxstb: cool... i don't know how much time i'll have for development for now, but i have plenty of time to use it..
23:07:06maquislinuxstb: i haven't noticed one...
23:07:25***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:07:35maquisnope
23:07:43linuxstbThen Rockbox probably isn't detecting your charger, meaning it will power-down according to your idle-poweroff setting. But ipods need to be on to charge, so it will then immediately reboot....
23:07:44maquisnothing on the wps changes when i unplug and replug

23:11:48idnarPaulPosition: would that help if I'm playing music non-stop?
23:12:53maquiswith any luck, after christmas, i might have a video to play with too... :)
23:13:45PaulPositionidnar - Actually, I'm not even sure every target support the option (if it's there it works) but yeah, if I am not mistaken, there's enough of memory in those devices to buffer up a few songs and then power the disk off.. Unless you're one to skip, skip, skip... Maybe someone else would know better though.
23:14:01idnarPaulPosition: oh, interesting
23:14:10idnarPaulPosition: didn't realise they had nearly that much RAM
23:14:22idnarI'm pretty sure I spotted the option somewhere

23:15:42idnarthe info page is only estimating about 6h playtime, unfortunately
23:16:03SUSaiyandid anyone ever notice that if you press the previous song button just the right time, it would just show the previous on the display, but actually play the next one?
23:16:32idnarotoh, the battery percentage is fluctuating, so I'm not sure the estimate is particularly accurate
23:16:40idnar(for example, it has climbed from 95% to 98% in the last 30 seconds :P)
23:17:12PaulPositionidnar - idnar, yes.. That's a portalplayer based device you use, right? (ie, iRiver H10 or iPod)? There's a LOT more to be found out about those.

23:17:26PaulPositionidnar - ahh.. duh. :p

23:19:46n1sSUSaiyan: please report in the tracker with as much details on how to reproduce as possible.
23:21:01linuxstbSUSaiyan: What is "the right time"? There are known issues if you try to seek during the last couple of seconds of a track (because Rockbox has already moved on and is decoding the next track)
23:21:19SUSaiyanyes, that is the right time
23:21:54Soaplinuxstb: what is the status of the ability to install Rockbox _instead_ of the AppleOS? I don't see any mention of it in your new forum thread or http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallationBeta .
23:22:18amiconnSoap: Just use -wf for writing the bootloader
23:22:24amiconn...instead of -a
23:22:30linuxstbSoap: I didn't want to clutter that thread or wiki page. But it should work. I'll try and document ipodpatcher in a wiki page at some point.
23:22:34idnarPaulPosition: anyhow, thanks
23:23:12Soapamiconn: so if I use -wf instead of -a it will will write the bootloader only instead of the bootloader and Apple OS?
23:23:36linuxstbamiconn: Am I right in thinking a standard Rockbox build only supports FAT32 on the ipods? i.e. FAT12/FAT16 will fail to mount?
23:23:42amiconnYes
23:23:57amiconnFAT12 will always fail, it's completely unsupported
23:24:00Soapand how would I reboot into apple OS if I wanted to? place the extracted file (appleos.bin) in my root directory?
23:24:16amiconnFAT12 is a bitch, fat entries spanning the sector boundary...
23:24:28linuxstbamiconn: OK, that could explain a problem someone is having in the forums. (a Linux user, who may have forgotten -F32 with mkdosfs)
23:24:39amiconnThat's possible
23:24:54amiconnBut on a >2GB disk, you need fat32 anyway
23:25:24LloreanSoap: If you're going to -wf, you can also -wf rockbox.ipod instead of the bootloader, and boot times into Rockbox will be faster, though there will be no option to boot the original firmware. As well, the backlight has a small glitch like that.
23:25:24amiconnIt is possible to create FAT16 partitions with cluster sizes >32KB, but these are out of specs
23:25:25Bagderbarrywardell: me likes 6455!
23:25:33barrywardellit's a start
23:25:41barrywardella lot more to go!
23:25:41linuxstbHmm... My mkdosfs manpage says "Specifies the type of file allocation tables used (12, 16 or 32 bit). If nothing is specified, mkdosfs will automatically select between 12 and 16 bit, whatever fits better for the filesystem size. 32 bit FAT (FAT32 format) must (still) be selected explicitly if you want it."
