#rockbox log for 2007-01-21

00:00:32linuxstbCan you remember what speed you got on the H140?
00:00:38linuxstb(with current SVN)
00:00:40amiconnumm
00:01:00amiconnShould be somewhere in the logs

00:04:54linuxstbAlso, how big was your test file, and did you make an effort to defragment your disk?
00:06:17 Nick Thundercloud__ is now known as Thundercloud (n=thunderc@81.168.45.180)
00:07:19enthehis Adam B aka voltagex here? he e-mailed me about DUMB and fixed-point ages ago
00:07:26Zagorumm, is resume not supposed to work in the sim? I get resume back to 00:00.
00:08:21amiconnlinuxstb: Bah, I can't find the speed data :(
00:08:49amiconnI didn't defragment the disk before, but there shouldn't be much fragmentation anyway
00:09:04amiconnThe file was several MB, but smaller than the available ram
00:09:42mattzzsorry for jumpin' in - simple question: Sansa e250 is arm-elf, preferred gcc is 4.03, right?
00:10:12linuxstbDoes around 7.5MB/s seem right?
00:10:19 Join thegeek_ [0] (n=thegeek@s026b.studby.ntnu.no)
00:10:31amiconnThat's quite fast. Coldfire was definitely slower
00:11:05linuxstbThat's what my test plugin - using ata_read_sectors() gave me for a 20MB file.

00:11:16linuxstbOn my H140.
00:11:22*amiconn received the first necessary part for firewire exploration
00:11:40amiconnThe firewire cable. Now I just have to wait for the 6pin-4pin adapter
00:12:33linuxstbmattzz: Yes.
00:12:51mattzzlinuxstb, thanks.
00:12:54amiconnlinuxstb: At what clock?
00:13:04linuxstbBoosted.
00:13:05amiconnI usually run such speed tests uboosted
00:13:12amiconn*unboosted
00:13:14enthehok, slightly revised question: does anyone know Adam B aka voltagex? he e-mailed me about DUMB and fixed-point ages ago

00:15:27amiconnlinuxstb: 7.5MB/s sounds reasonable when boosted
00:16:04*amiconn should perhaps make up a better speed test that does raw disk access
00:16:15amiconnIt's a bit dangerous for testing writes though
00:16:38linuxstbIt's OK on ipods, I can just write to unused space in the firmware partition.
00:16:49Zagorentheh: no idea, sorry
00:16:57enthehok
00:17:13enthehwho are the main Rockbox devs? I'm wondering where the request originally came from
00:17:16enthehAdam said he was new to the project
00:17:29enthehthey wanted to put DUMB in, but the main obstacle was the use of floats
00:17:48 Quit ender` (" To get as fewest unhappy people as possible, always bully the same ones.")
00:18:06 Quit robin0800 ("Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers.")
00:18:18linuxstbNone of our targets have a hardware FPU, so anyone could have told Adam to avoid floats.
00:18:40Zagorwell the last irc log with him contains "<voltagex> I wish I was skilled enough to hack on rockbox."
00:18:50enthehok, so that's his nick then
00:19:14enthehdon't suppose you know who was pushing for DUMB to go in? was it him?

00:19:54Zagorentheh: can't say I do. for the last several months, the only mentioning of it on irc is you asking who wanted it :)
00:20:01enthehXD
00:20:02enthehI'll ask him
00:20:06enthehthanks ^^
00:20:16amiconnIirc dumb was originally added to the source tree by HCl, but it was never integrated beyond just building the lib
00:20:23enthehah, so it's already in there
00:20:30amiconnIt was there
00:20:37SoapDUMB the 3d game engine or DUMB the Dynamic Universal Music Bibliotheque?

00:21:10amiconnSince nobody cared about dumb, it was removed again later
00:21:14enthehthough it'll probably become Darn Uber Mod Bibliotheque, once I've removed the pointless and very badly done genericity that just gets annoying

00:22:37enthehdo you think there'd be interest in DUMB if it were changed not to use floats?
00:22:38amiconnUmm, there is no 'attic' sub-dir in svn?
00:22:51Mikachuno, you have to select an old revision first
00:22:57enthehno worries - I'll be changing it around loads, so I don't suggest you try and recover anything that was done with it while it was in there
00:22:58amiconngah :(
00:23:07Mikachuat least in the viewvc thing

00:27:53Zagorentheh: I think a good mod player for rockbox would be welcomed by many
00:27:57entheh^^
00:28:02amiconnShould get it on monday
00:28:13enthehDUMB's memory usage is a bit high - I'll look at reducing that too
00:28:56EnterUserNamehey all
00:28:57amiconnentheh: It would also be rather useful if dumb could work without malloc()
00:29:10Zagorwe have a modplayer patch i the tracker: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/5241
00:29:14EnterUserNameIf i havent updated in a year do i have to anything special other than just unzipping the file/
00:29:25amiconnZagor: That's the simple one, right?
00:29:29Zagoryes
00:29:29enthehcould you write a simple malloc-like function for it to use?
00:29:40EnterUserNameso ijust unzip the file.. easy :)
00:29:43enthehsame way it has customisable file input?
00:30:00enthehgood, I'll just make that a hook then - but I'll try and reduce the number of separate, small malloc's it does
00:30:08amiconnentheh: We have a simple malloc for codecs, but malloc is generally bad in an environment like rockbox
00:30:28enthehbecause of limited memory I assume?
00:30:32enthehand danger of leaks perhaps too?
00:30:41 Quit YouCeyE (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:30:43Mikachuthere's not really a pool of unused memory

00:31:07Zagorentheh: in rockbox, the normal state is 100% ram used
00:31:08enthehDUMB has an option to prepare fast seeking data - it stores a snapshot of the state at 30-second intervals if you ask it to
00:31:25enthehthat's something that would be really useful I should imagine - if you've got the memory for it
00:31:34entheh:/
00:31:58Zagor...because all ram that is not used for code is used for buffers
00:32:31enthehrealistically, is there any chance of getting a mod player in there then?
00:32:39Zagorthat's why static allocation works much better than malloc. avoiding leaks is a nice side effect too.
00:32:43enthehor any other player?
00:33:00enthehbecause if it's 100% used, then by definition you can't put anything else in, surely
00:33:34Mikachuthere's 512kB (iirc) reserved for codecs
00:33:39enthehand it loads one at once?
00:33:41Mikachuthey're loaded in there as needed, only one at a time
00:33:47enthehOK
00:34:00enthehDUMB would need to store the samples somewhere though
00:34:19enthehtheoretically it could stream all of them if access to the mp3 store is fast enough and random enough
00:34:46enthehbut they might be compressed
00:34:53Zagorthe samples are part of the sound data, which is stored in the big audio/file buffer. just like the mp3 data.
00:35:00enthehhow big?
00:35:02Zagorcompressed could be tricky
00:35:05enthehdoes it load a whole mp3 in at once?

00:35:19Zagoras many as fits
00:35:21enthehit can decompress them on load, if it has somewhere to load them to
00:35:30enthehhow much RAM is allocated to sound data?
00:35:43Mikachuthe memory layout is built around codecs that decode streams of data
00:35:44Zagorall the ram that is not allocated for anything else
00:35:48Mikachumods don't really fit into that model
00:35:52enthehhow much RAM is there in total usually?
00:36:00enthehMikachu: yeah, I know :/
00:36:05Zagordepends on target. from 2 to 32 megs, typically...
00:36:08Mouser_Xentheh: If you get DUMB working on Rockbox, I will GREATLY appreciate it. I want MOD support (among other formats, of course).
00:36:14entheh^^
00:36:14 Quit thegeek_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:36:23enthehyou'll definitely need a custom version, that's for sure
00:36:34Mouser_XI can do that.
00:36:38enthehso it's debatable whether it's worth me making a hook for malloc in the official version
00:36:44Zagoralthough software codec targets are usually closer to 32 than 2 :-)
00:36:51enthehbut I'll start by making the official version fixed-point, because it'll benefit all sorts of people
00:36:54Mikachuif you write it as a plugin instead of a codec, you can use the whole audio buffer as you please

00:37:24enthehok, well I imagine it could be done and just be limited in what mods it can play
00:37:27Mikachubut then you can't use the normal wps/playlist system which sort of sucks
00:37:35enthehif they've got big samples, it won't be able to play them - or it'll have to stream some samples and might fall over
00:37:39enthehbut it could try XD
00:37:45enthehor cache samples, if they're not all used at once
00:37:50enthehah :/
00:38:11Mikachulike viewing an mpg or jpg file
00:38:15belzejust a small question: would it be easy to implement an initial volume setting together with fading for the playback resume?
00:38:23enthehcan I look at the API/framework for a codec anywhere?
00:38:30Zagorentheh: big samples shouldn't be a problem as long as they're not compressed. uncompressing multi-megabyte samples does not fit into the current playback model though
00:38:50enthehbelze: to fade the sound in? I'd have thought so
00:39:07belzeexactly
00:39:10enthehDUMB currently decompresses all samples on load
00:39:23enthehI think in XM files they're delta-encoded but not compressed, which is simple
00:39:31enthehmaybe for the benefit of zip if people want to
00:39:38mattzzAny Sansa developers online?
00:40:01enthehin IT files there is some basic compression, but I think it's just basic data entropy type stuff, no FFT or anything
00:41:01enthehZagor: hmm I see what you're saying - it could play them straight out of the file?
00:41:05Zagorentheh: as mentioned above, in rockbox codecs do not load the data themselves. it's more of a stream oriented approach. rockbox loads the data, and gives it to the codec. so you won't be able to uncompress while loading.
00:41:11enthehif the compression's simple enough, could the decompression happen per playing instance?
00:41:31enthehcan I look at the API/framework for a codec anywhere?
00:42:22amiconnentheh, Zagor: I don't think dumb will run on the hwcodec targets, and swcodec targets typically have 16MB or more
00:42:38entheh16 MB is loads ^^
00:42:40amiconnBut there is one swcodec target that only has 1MB ram...

00:42:49enthehor at least, should be once DUMB is optimised not to waste it
00:43:10amiconnWe might be able to get the simple mod player working on hwcodec
00:43:23enthehsimple mod player?
00:43:24Zagorentheh: http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/apps/codecs.h?view=markup
00:43:27amiconnI doubt dumb will run realtime on an 11MHz cpu
00:43:43enthehamiconn: why not?
00:43:57enthehif it's enough to decode an mp3, it should be able to do a simple mod file
00:44:02 Quit linuxstb ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
00:44:05enthehmaybe not a 64-channel IT file with NNA and filters
00:44:13amiconnThe hwcodec cpu doesn't decode mp3
00:44:24amiconnBah, unclear
00:44:25enthehah, it's got hardware accel for mp3s?
00:44:43amiconnIn the hwcodec targets the cpu doesn't decode mp3, but the hardware codec does that
00:45:02amiconnThe cpu just feeds the mp2/mp3 stream to the codec
00:45:11enthehok
00:45:23enthehso all you use the CPU for is to present a nice interface and so on?

01:51:48amiconnOn iriver H300 there are 14 threads running after boot when a voice file is found

01:52:28amiconnyes, but that's no problem
01:52:39amiconnThey're #defined for codecs afaik
01:52:44enthehah ok
01:53:00enthehI'm hoping a codec could actually be statically linked with parts of the official version of DUMB, once DUMB's been reworked
01:53:12enthehso those parts of DUMB would have to refrain
01:53:17enthehfrom using anything in libc I guess
01:53:58enthehmaybe you would have to recompile parts of DUMB but you could take the source from each release so it would be minimal work to update?
01:54:19amiconnThe main thread handles the gui. Then there is a codec thread (and a voice codec thread for voice), an ata thread that handles spindown and registered flush functions, a power management thread, a backlight thread, a thread that scrolls text on the lcd...
01:54:31enthehideally I'm hoping I can carry on fixing playback issues in DUMB and they'll just go straight into Rockbox
01:54:44amiconndumb will need to be compiled from source anyway

02:00:51enthehamiconn: so the file buffer stuff presumably returns pointers into Rockbox's cyclic file cache thing?
02:01:12enthehand it looks fairly easy to use for streaming linearly
02:01:39enthehdo you think it could be used for random access, so I can stream each sample as it's playing? presumably it's RAM and will be pretty fast to jump around in
02:01:42enthehsince it's cached
02:02:24enthehI can decompress on the fly, and then just cache a small amount of decompressed sample data if they're used a lot and the decompression is too slow
02:03:23linuxstbIt's not really a cache, it's a ringbuffer.
02:03:33enthehyeah, I meant preloaded really rather than cached
02:03:59enthehwould it be possible to seek around in the file like crazy?
02:04:07enthehthis is assuming the file fits in the buffer
02:04:18enthehand if it doesn't, then it would just have to reject the file
02:04:22linuxstbcodecs can either request a pointer to data at the front of the buffer (they are then expected to advance that pointer after processing the data), or perform a read() from the buffer.
02:04:25Mikachuthis is the buffer that's 95% of ram on most targets
02:04:45enthehyeah, I guessed that :)
02:04:45linuxstbBut the problem is the wraparound point - you're only guaranteed a maximum of 32KB of contiguous data.
02:04:49enthehthat's fine

02:04:58enthehI'll handle wraparound points myself
02:05:21enthehso if I request a pointer to the front of the buffer, then advance, then access (and handle wraparound)
02:05:30enthehand then do the same again for the next sample I want to mix in
02:05:31enthehand so on
02:05:42enthehwill that work most of the time and thrash the system really horribly with huge files?
02:05:54linuxstbNo, you can't advance, and then access. Once you advance the pointer, the playback engine may overwrite the space with the next file.
02:05:57enthehwhat happens if the file is half-loaded at the end of the buffer and it needs to get the rest? will it keep the start?
02:06:04enthehok :/
02:06:14Mikachui don't think any mod file will fill the whole buffer
02:06:34linuxstbI don't think the codec can (currently) access both halves of the file if it wraps.
02:06:39enthehMikachu: on an old device with a 10 MB mod file, it might, surely
02:06:54enthehlinuxstb: I wonder if Rockbox could be changed to make that possible then?
02:07:02Mikachulinuxstb: can't it just rudely assume it continues at CODEC_BUFFER_START or whatever?
02:07:35enthehso when we say 'ringbuffer'
02:07:38linuxstbI'm sure a function could be added to return the two parts. But the whole file may not be buffered yet.
02:07:55Mikachuit might not even if it doesn't wrap
02:08:06enthehcan Rockbox actually have read halfway through, so the end of the buffer has old data and the start has new?
02:08:07linuxstbYes.
02:08:26enthehor does it always replace the whole buffer from start to end, and then start offering data from the start?
02:08:45Mikachuit can have several files on the buffer at the same tim
02:08:50enthehyeah, I know that much
02:08:58enthehbut the last bit it read - is that always at the end of the buffer?
02:08:58Mikachuobviously they don't all start at the same point :P
02:09:02EnterUserNameHi all would using FFMPEG autosync work with rockbox to fix the problem with video/audio syncing
02:09:11enthehI could just look at the code - where is it?
02:09:19linuxstbThere's a "low watermark", so when there is that amount of data left in the buffer, Rockbox tries to fill the buffer again.
02:09:50linuxstbentheh: It's apps/playback.c
02:09:59enthehright, so the amount it reads from disk in one go isn't always the length of the buffer?
02:10:13amiconnentheh: It wraps around when it gets to the end, not when rebuffering
02:10:23*entheh will look at the code
02:10:23amiconnDoing the latter wouldn't allow gapless playback
02:10:37amiconnIt needs to rebuffer _before_ it runs out of data

02:11:17enthehthe data end at 23 MB

02:12:03Mikachumidkay: okay, it doesn't take a lot of space but i also don't want to fill up with random stuff :)

02:12:52amiconnentheh: Yes, we will at least need a mechanism to 'lock' a track from its start
02:13:35enthehMikachu: but surely if I'm given a pointer, and I can just index it like an array, then it won't obey the wrap-around and the function MUST limit the length so it doesn't include the wrap-around?
02:14:11Mikachui guess so, but it'll continue filling at the start of the ringbuffer
02:14:13enthehMikachu: sorry, here I'm talking about how much _I_ want to read out of the buffer, not how much Rockbox will read into the buffer in advance

02:16:58Soapremember also, EnterUserName, that the mpegplayer can't rebuffer, so you can't play movies larger than your buffer - about 30MB on your nano I believe.
02:16:59Mikachui don't think this is a compile-capable one
02:16:59enthehhow does that work?
02:17:03enthehfor when you seek in a file?

02:18:15enthehdoes the whole buffer start again from the start of that file?
02:18:19entheh(or from the seek point)
02:18:21Mikachuif it's not in the buffer and you seek, then all current buffered data is thrown away
02:18:26enthehexcellent
02:18:28Mikachui think!
02:18:30enthehI could just make that happen, couldn't I?
02:18:34enthehand then my mod will go from the start of the buffer
02:18:34linuxstbEnterUserName: You could try one of the unofficial builds that already has COP support enabled. I think senab has one.
02:18:35Soapwhich means under 18 minutes at yout 232 bitrate
02:18:47linuxstbEnterUserName: But all the instructions you need are in the wiki.
02:18:49enthehand I'm pretty much guaranteed that I won't make it happen again if I just carry on that way - unless the mod is HUGE
02:19:00EnterUserNamedooh ok
02:19:01enthehso all I then need is a way to detect the size of the buffer, and I can do that check, and I should be safe
02:19:10enthehhow about that solution?
02:19:15Mikachuentheh: if you have a playlist of mods, rockbox will load them all into buffer, but each time you reach a new one, you throw them all away
02:19:20EnterUserNamelinuxstb: i guess googling :) for senabs build

02:19:44linuxstbEnterUserName: It will be in the "Unsupported Builds" forum.
02:19:45Soapactually, EnterUserName, less than 18 minutes because I wasn't taking audio+video into account.
02:19:47enthehcould be worse, but not ideal
02:19:47entheh:/
02:19:54enthehbetter to have the extra methods I guess
02:20:15EnterUserNamethank you linuxstb :)
02:20:34*amiconn made a suggestion regarding mod (and other non-streaming formats) handling
02:20:46enthehabout locking to the start of the file?
02:20:49enthehthat's the extra methods I meant ^^
02:20:55amiconnNo, that was a quick one
02:21:05enthehoh, did you make another one?
02:21:15amiconnI mean a method that avoids the wrap within a file, without unnecessary rebuffering
02:21:17Soap9 minutes roughly, EnterUserName, if you are using 224 for your audio and 232 for your video = 456Kb/s bitrate = nine minutes per 30 megs.
02:21:28enthehok, how does that work?
02:21:53amiconnThere is that guard buffer linuxstb mentioned (the 32KB at the end which are guaranteed to be continuous)
02:21:58enthehok
02:22:18amiconnMy suggestion is that this guard buffer size could be dynamic, set by the track loader depending on the format
02:22:51enthehwould a mod loader then set it to the size of the file it's reading in?
02:22:59amiconnFor mods, the loader would set guard_size = file_size, so if it doesn't fit at the end (before the wrap), the whole file will be wrapped to the start
02:24:04*amiconn goes to sleep
02:24:12enthehso that would mean I could just get a buffer representing the whole file?
02:24:29linuxstbYes, that's the idea.
02:24:58enthehwouldn't this need hardcoding in the loader then?
02:25:13enthehpresumably the codec isn't necessarily loaded while the tracks it'll decode are loaded
02:25:21enthehit might be playing an mp3 but want to prefetch a mod
02:25:45linuxstbThe loader knows what kind of file it's loading, so can do different things for formats such as mod.
02:26:12enthehbut it would have to be hardcoded there
02:26:31enthehseems a bit unmodular :/
02:26:32linuxstbYes, but codecs aren't designed to be independent from Rockbox.
02:26:34enthehok
02:27:13enthehyeah, it's true - it's not as if you can ship a codec separately, I assume
02:27:52linuxstbNo, any codec that someone ports, we would want to add to the official source tree.
02:28:02enthehok ^^
02:28:07enthehthat sounds like a really good solution then
02:29:25linuxstbThe problem is that not many people know the playback code well enough to implement it... I don't. I know how it works in theory, but not the nasty details.
02:30:09EnterUserNamelinuxstb: that worked..
02:30:15EnterUserNamethanks that build is worknig ;)
02:30:46enthehplayback code?
02:31:00Mikachueverything in playback.c and pcmbuf.c i think
02:31:05Mikachuis a mystery to most
02:31:08entheh(surely we're talking about the loading code)
02:31:16entheh(I guess that's in playback.c?)
02:31:25Mikachuyour guess is as good as mine :)
02:31:31enthehhehe
02:32:04Soapso who is the master of the playback code, then?
02:33:25Mikachui think lostlogic is one of two

04:14:59combrainsHotfusion, rb is playlist based so to shuffle all of your tracks you have to add them all to one big playlist and then it will shuffle all tracks
04:15:52Hotfusionok, I'll do that winamp thing you guys had suggested
04:15:57Hotfusionsee if that works
04:17:26HotfusionI do like rockbox alot just trying to figure somethings out. I hated cowon's frimware. Every other time I'd get a white screen when I turn the player on...not with rb

05:30:50Hotfusionlol Llorean
05:30:59Kaitlyn2004oh thanks!
05:31:03Kaitlyn2004so i need the firmware too though?
05:31:15Hotfusionthe bootlaoder is the firmware
05:31:22Lloreanhttp://build.rockbox.org/dist/build-iaudiox5/rockbox.zip
05:31:25LloreanHotfusion: No, it's not
05:31:28LloreanThe bootloader is the bootloader
05:31:31LloreanAnd the firmware is the firmware.
05:31:35LloreanRockbox.zip is the firmware.
05:31:37Hotfusionyes but you flash it in the firmwre folder
05:31:48LloreanBut it's not THE firmware.
05:31:54LloreanIt's just a small piece of code that loads the firmware from the disk
05:31:55Kaitlyn2004so why do I need this special boatloader?
05:32:07Hotfusionbut technically that's software
05:32:10LloreanKaitlyn2004: Because it loads the Rockbox firmware.
05:32:10Hotfusionlol
05:32:21LloreanHotfusion: And on most of the players we support nothing needs to get flashed at all.
05:32:24LloreanBut "Rockbox" is the firmware.
05:32:29Kaitlyn2004i read that the x5 has its own builtin loader?
05:32:32Hotfusion:)
05:32:59LloreanHotfusion: We have specific terms in this channel, and rockbox.iaudio or the equivalent is considered to be 'the firmware' and we ask that users respect these terms so as to reduce overall confusion.
05:33:12Hotfusionnot sure what you mean Kaitlyn
05:33:16LloreanThe application/OS is the firmware, and the bootloader is the bootloader.
05:33:29LloreanKaitlyn2004: Are you following the install instructions in the manual?
05:34:00Hotfusionit's eay to install

05:34:54Hotfusionthat really annoyed me
05:35:34Kaitlyn2004Hotfusion: so I put that bootloader into the firmware, let it load, but then how do I actually load the firmware? put it in the root?
05:35:46Hotfusionyes
05:36:01Mouser_XKaitlyn2004: Ask Llorean. Seriously, he knows very well what he's talking about.
05:36:23Mouser_XI'm not saying Hotfusion can't be helpful, but Llorean knows his stuff.
05:37:25Hotfusionbootloader goes into the firmware folder the other files that is in teh iAudio zip file into root. Plug in the black plug into the player and have it plugged into hte player and turn the player on
05:37:27Hotfusionit was simple
05:37:38Hotfusionthe instructions are more clearer than me
05:37:39Hotfusionlol
05:38:51Kaitlyn2004i turned it on.. rockbox boot loader turned on
05:38:53Kaitlyn2004then it shut off
05:39:07Mouser_XDid you install the firmware?
05:39:07Hotfusionok take off the black plug in unit
05:39:11Hotfusionturn it on
05:39:11BHSPitMonkeyJdGordon, yo
05:39:21JdGordonhey
05:39:31Hotfusionbut yeah you have to install the firmware to :)
05:39:31BHSPitMonkeycan I pm, JdGordon
05:39:37JdGordonshoot
05:39:39Kaitlyn2004how do I INSTALL the firmware then? lol
05:40:18Hotfusionyou know the iAudio.zip file that contains an .rockbox folder and a file those go into root. Ask llorean he knows hehe
05:40:26Kaitlyn2004i did that
05:40:30Mouser_XThis is why the bootloader is differentiated from the firmware.
05:40:31Kaitlyn2004Llorean: what did I do wrong? haha
05:40:52Kaitlyn2004I have a folder - .rockbox, and a file - rockbox.iaudio in my root
05:40:57Mouser_XBootloader loads the firmware.
05:41:11Mouser_XDid you install the bootloader according to the Wiki?
05:41:16LloreanKaitlyn2004: When the Rockbox bootloader shows up, what is the last line it says?
05:41:24Kaitlyn2004results: -1 i THINK
05:41:32Kaitlyn2004thats the line after "loading firmware" i believe
05:41:35Kaitlyn2004it happens quickly
05:41:46LloreanThe -1 line means that rockbox.iaudio was not found in \
05:41:49Mouser_XSounds like the firmware isn't loaded properly.
05:41:54Hotfusionyeah not in root
05:41:59Mouser_X*installed
05:42:04Kaitlyn2004haha weird cause I see it right there! :(
05:43:03Kaitlyn2004its definitely there
05:43:16LloreanKaitlyn2004: Not in *any* folders, just in the root of the device?
05:43:20Kaitlyn2004yes

05:43:39Hotfusionyou did download the X5 bootlaoder and not the X5V?
05:43:40LloreanAre you sure the number was -1 then?

05:46:41Kaitlyn2004*result
05:47:06Llorean-1 means the file wasn't found.

05:47:38Kaitlyn2004its FULLY there!? :(
05:47:56Kaitlyn2004gonna try daily build
05:48:08LloreanIf it found the file but it was partial, you should get different numbers than -1.

05:49:23LloreanI'm not doubting that it's there.

05:49:37Kaitlyn2004ya... so do you have any ideas?

12:57:49JdGordongoing off memory
12:58:45FUzZy2havnt seen menu_run thats not in text editor is it
12:59:16JdGordonproably not... you only need that one if you want some funky menu handling... the default handling should be fine
12:59:33FUzZy2do u mean menu_init?

13:03:17JdGordonthere is a simple example in apps/plugins/text_editor.c from line 405
13:03:32JdGordonthat uses rb->menu_show(), so it returns when the user selects an option
13:05:06FUzZy2ok
13:05:20FUzZy2thanx you answered some quistions
13:06:10amiconnmenu_run() is in fact easier than menu_show
13:06:42amiconnmenu_run() only returns when the user leaves it, while menu_show() returns when an item is selected
13:08:29JdGordononly if the items have a function associated with them

14:20:03JdGordonpixelma: atm, everything is going into one config.cfg file
14:20:20pixelmameh...
14:20:27JdGordonbut I intend to split it into a system.cfg file also
14:20:40JdGordonand move the system "settings" into a seperate struct
14:21:21pixelmaI really disliked this in your old version
14:21:30linuxstbWhy not something like "status.bin" - which will be in NVRAM on targets which support it. The important difference IMO is that they are not settings, but state variables we want to retain between boots.
14:21:38JdGordonI'm not sure what we want to do about the old rtc config block...
14:22:00 Nick idnar_ is now known as idnar (i=mithrand@unaffiliated/idnar)
14:22:27JdGordonlinuxstb: yeah, something like that, but I'd rather not have to go back to the bit packing for the block like currently
14:23:03linuxstbI don't think you can avoid it. There's a big difference between state variables and the huge settings struct we currently have.
14:23:35amiconnThe old rtc config block would be replaced by the binary status variables
14:23:45linuxstbBut maybe we don't need bit-packing, just byte-packing.
14:23:56amiconnThere's no need to use the old sophistcated bit table for this
14:24:07amiconnThey're not too many, and the rtc offers 44 bytes
14:24:08JdGordonbyte packing would be nicer... but the archos only have 44 bits spare dont they?
14:24:10amiconn(iirc)
14:24:17amiconn44 _bytes_
14:24:48JdGordonok, well that should be enough then, even if we do it byte packed
14:25:02pixelmathe old version took ages disturbed screen updates, leading to ugly things when running e.g. oscilloscope
14:25:38JdGordonthis version is started from scratch.. so it should be better.. its cleaner anyway
14:26:35amiconnlinuxstb: 7.5MB/s read on coldfire boosted is correct
14:26:42*amiconn improved his ata test plugin

17:54:41thegeekbut on the other hand, it is kinda cool;P
17:54:44preglowfor the same reason you'd want rockbox?
17:54:51preglowthat's more of a developer question, not a user question
17:55:12preglowlinux is just a kernel, after all
17:55:27Mouser_XNo, you'd want Rockbox because it allows you to use the full potential of your player. It opens it up for music playback like the OF never did.
17:55:37Mouser_XI don't see how Linux can do that.

18:06:54terinjokesI'm on gentoo don't know what I need
18:07:25foolshsubversion and gcc are a start
18:07:45preglowall you need is the rockboxdev.sh script
18:07:57preglowand of course a source tree, yes

18:08:41preglowit just downloads stuff and compiles them
18:08:45terinjokesmessed up GCC...
18:08:51preglowthen you set some paths wrongly
18:08:58preglowit shouldn't mess up anything unless you told it to
18:09:17terinjokesI didn't set any paths, i just ran the script :D
18:09:22preglowwell, there you go
18:09:23spugpreglow: i've never heard of that script :o can it be downloaded from somewhere without the wiki?
18:09:28preglowbut even doing that, it shouldn't break anything

18:09:51spugokay, thanks
18:10:00terinjokeswhat does it compile (i rather do it manually, if at all possible)
18:10:16preglowterinjokes: it compiles binutils and gcc for each platform you want to compile rockbox for

19:54:50preglowthen small wonder
19:54:52preglowit's not supported
19:55:02preglow80 gig support is purely experimental and needs a patch
19:55:18skaterboardok so its bricked then
19:55:20preglowi'm pretty sure this is stated somewhere in the wiki
19:55:25preglowskaterboard: no, it's not bricked, just restore it
19:55:31skaterboardhow?
19:55:32preglowno one has ever bricked an ipod
19:55:40preglowskaterboard: by using the apple restore tool if you have to
19:55:53preglowskaterboard: or by restoring the backup of the bootpartition i'm sure you've made
19:55:55skaterboardyou mean the restore option on itunes?
19:56:15preglowskaterboard: probably, i've never used it
19:56:29skaterboardbut itunes no longer sees the ipod
19:56:45Febsskaterboard: which installation instructions did you follow?
19:56:55skaterboardthe ones on the site in pdf format
19:57:12skaterboardcan i not get the bootloader to select the ipod firmware and the manually remove it
19:57:56FebsOK, putting aside the big note in the first line of those instructions that say, "Rockbox does not run on the 80GB Ipod Video ..."

19:58:09FebsTry running this command from the same place you ran the ipodpatcher initially:
19:58:18Febsipodpatcher N -w bootpartition.bin
19:58:36Febs(where N is the number you found when you ran ipodpatcher −−scan)
19:58:47skaterboardno it cant find it
19:59:04Febs"It" can't find what?
20:00
20:00:08FebsLet's step back. What happens when you reset the ipod by pressing and holding Menu and Select simultaneously?
20:00:15foolsh@mattzz if it is bricked can i have your case foolsh.home.insightbb.com/e200.jpg">http://foolsh.home.insightbb.com/e200.jpg mine got ?scratched?
20:00:15skaterboardthat command cant find the ipod says error opening disc
20:00:53skaterboardwhen i reset it i get the apple logo for a few seconds then it goes back to the bootloader
20:01:08mattzzfoolsh, nice try :-)
20:01:38mattzzfoolsh, did you flash it via BBQ?
20:01:57FebsPut the ipod in disk mode.
20:02:16FebsPress and hold Menu and Select, and then as soon as it reboots, press and hold Select and Play.

20:21:54GodEater*extremely* unlikey
20:22:09w1ll14mi thought so....
20:22:42n1sif apple wanted to shut down rockbox, they would send lawyers, not hackers

20:23:35GodEatersince if the hack was ever traced back to them - they'd be in a whole lot of trouble
20:23:44GodEaterit would be a PR and legal nightmare for them

20:24:44w1ll14mgodeater: that sounds true..... but what was exactly hacked ?
20:24:53GodEaterno idea - I didn't see it
20:25:19GodEaterIt's far more likely it was some bored script kiddie somewhere looking for peer validation

21:17:52AnendramSpeaking of gameboy games, is Rockboy ever going to get to the iRiver H10?
21:17:59D0ugWell, I'm out of here, thank you though for the info

21:24:29linuxstb_PLsCold: Yes. It's included in every build.
21:24:40PLsColdoki
21:24:41DataGhostwell maybe I can fix the code today and test it on my 20GB 4G
21:24:55DataGhostand I'm not sure how that SVN submitting works etc
21:25:03DataGhostand whether or not it needs more testing on other iPods before submitting
21:25:03DataGhost:)
21:25:24DataGhostand reviewing, probably
21:25:31robin0800_thanks linuxstb for the link
21:25:40GodEaterprobably all of the above
21:25:53GodEaterare there any other iPL devs who're active to *do* any reviewing ?
21:26:02GodEaterI've not heard a peep out of them for ages
21:26:23DataGhostwell if there aren't any devs around I guess another person who knows how to code could review it :)

21:53:42SethXxXanyhow, i have a question for those with an ipod... is the cradle functionality retained, with rockbox? ie if i place my ipod on one of those "multimedia cradles" with speakers, will i be able to use the buttons on the cradle? and will the audio output work?
21:55:13LloreanNo, and Yes.
21:55:26LloreanButtons won't work because those require communications.
21:55:36LloreanBut the audio out is usually by way of the line out, which is functionaly
21:55:42LloreanHm, "functional"

21:58:59n1sare they getting upset? ;-) I don't dare to go in there ...
21:59:22SethXxXso i'm assuming that the audio routing is hardware, and the buttons are software and there is no driver for them, correct?
22:00
22:00:12GodEaterit just seems to have the lowest average intelligence per post of any of the other fourms
22:00:27GodEateryou go in there and the IQ level plummets like a thermometer in a blizzard
22:00:37DataGhosthaha GodEater
22:00:48SethXxXGodEater: try out the microsoft install forums.
22:00:56SethXxXor the linux ones, even better.
22:01:02DataGhostI just helped someone on IRC with the iPL installer... he couldn't get it to work because he didn't read the wiki
22:01:07GodEaterI meant on the rockbox site SethXxX
22:01:13DataGhostafter he did he managed to crash it
22:01:18SethXxXah, sorry :)
22:01:19DataGhostand now he gave up
22:01:20DataGhost:P
22:02:13GodEaterI'd have so much more patience with them if they could demonstrate that they at least *tried* to follow the manual. But they all just want spoon feeding.
22:03:01LloreanGodEater: Honestly what drives me nuts is that as soon as you answer one question, they stop thinking at all.
22:03:22LloreanThey'll get to a point, need help, and then once you give them help, instead of going back to reading, they want step by step instructions.
22:03:29SethXxXspeaking of manual
22:03:56GodEaterLlorean: yep - I'm just going to give up now before I roast someone so bad they end up glowing in the dark.
22:04:01SethXxXdo i need to clean format my ipod as a fat volume when i unzip the rockbox stuff on there?
22:04:20n1s"But the manual is so BIG!!" "But the manual doesn't cover this" "But the manual doesn't have enough examples!" :-P
22:04:39LloreanSethXxX: Is your iPod in possession of a primary Fat32 partition?
22:04:47SethXxXits a winpod, so yes
22:04:56LloreanThen you don't need to do anything special for it.
22:04:57GodEatern1s: I don't believe I've heard anyone say the manual doesn't cover something. They complain it's too hard to understand - but never suggest improvements.
22:04:59LloreanJust follow the instructions.

22:05:11LloreanGodEater: Every now and then the manual doesn't cover something.
22:05:22GodEaterI must have missed those then ;)
22:05:30LloreanGodEater: You'll hear it when someone says "Please read the manual" and someone else is just overjoyed to call the person on the fact that the manual doesn't actually have it.
22:05:38GodEaterhahahaha
22:05:53n1sGodEater: aah, I might have thought of one of the times they just don't care to search and claim it's not in
22:05:57*GodEater 's hide appears intact from those.
22:06:30FebsSomeone made a suggestion for the manual the other day, actually.
22:06:38Febs"User more screen shots."
22:06:38GodEaterI would imagine in *most* of those cases we have the good grace to admit we screwed up.
22:06:51*n1s often gives them direct links, caus it's fater then telling them how to find what thyr'e looking for
22:07:02FebsI am still trying to figure how screen shots of DOS commands is useful.
22:07:26n1sFebs: good question
22:07:41LloreanGodEater: Usually yes, there's a "Sorry, it's in the manual now" in response to "But it's not there!"
22:07:44GodEaterFebs: you'd need to mspaint them with little circles round the relevant bits. Like "This is the number ipodpatcher returns when you do −−scan. In case you can't work it out on your own"
22:08:26GodEaterI really hope rbutil sends these posters into decline
22:08:41Zagorscreenshots also makes people type "C:\>" into their command prompts
22:08:49GodEatersadly very true
22:09:10LloreanAll those people who type C:\Rockbox\ipodpatcher −−scan rather than CDing.
22:09:18SethXxXwhy dont you put a "JUST RTFM!" header on each page of the manual pdf?
22:09:26*GodEater wonders if we could get away with distributing a .reg file that unsets PROMPT
22:09:36DataGhostGodEater I think they want you to write some sort of installer that installs iPL/rockbox automatically on their iPod/mp3player whenever they think about doing that
22:09:36LloreanSethXxX: Because they wouldn't see that until they're already reading the manual?
22:09:51GodEaterDataGhost: someone's working on that
22:09:52SethXxXhm. the chicken -egg paradox
22:09:55GodEaterit's just not finished yet
22:09:56DataGhosthehe
22:10:21GodEaterI think the dev is busy sursing MS on their code for autodetecting devices
22:10:25GodEater*cursing*
22:10:32GodEaterlast time I saw her in here anyway
22:10:34DataGhostprobably the hardest part will be to actually make clear what the user still needs to do
22:10:39GodEatershe may have got beyond that
22:10:56DataGhost'help, my iPod scren is showing "please attach this iPod to a computer with internet access to install iPL"!!1 what do I need to do! help!'
22:11:07GodEaterwell I'm hoping it'll be as simple as "plug in your device" and "click the "install rockbox" button
22:11:39DataGhostwell I actually meant an installer which doesn't involve surfing to any site, reading any manual at all, etc. :P
22:11:49GodEaterhehe
22:12:00GodEaterare you hoping it'll magically appear on their harddrive too ?
22:12:13DataGhostthat would be great
22:12:18GodEaterhehehe
22:12:24DataGhostbut really, an 'install rockbox' button is too hard already
22:12:35DataGhostor it's just my presence
22:12:51GodEateryou may be right actually
22:12:52DataGhostwhenever I am standing near someone who is not a computer guru
22:13:05DataGhostthey even ask me what they should do next when they get a dialog with 1 button 'OK'
22:13:13GodEaterit *should* be as simple as run the installer, and plugin your device.
22:13:21GodEateror vice versa
22:14:28GodEatermaybe it should get turned into an agent as well
22:14:33GodEaterthat runs permanently on the host PC
22:14:36DataGhostanyway, my opinion is still that when you cannot read 1 wiki page, describing how to use an automated installer and _EVERY_ error it *may* give... you don't deserve to have an alternate firmware
22:14:43 Part Llorean
22:14:53GodEaterand automatically upgrades rockbox whenever there is both an internet connection and the device is plugged in
22:14:59DataGhosthehe
22:15:20DataGhostpeople will delete that and they will complain
22:15:29DataGhostsomeone asked for my help once, while he was 'cleaning up' his pc
22:15:35DataGhost'hey, can I delete this?'
22:15:44DataGhostI didn't know what it was either, so I decided to look it up

22:23:26DataGhostWell, with cars I know my way around a bit.. but I don't touch stuff I know nothing about, at least not before I rtfm
22:24:48GodEaterI know nothing at all, and that's the way I like it. If I want a my car to do "something different" from what it was designed, I'm sure as hell not going to try and turn it into a off-roader on my own. I'll just buy another car.

22:44:22SethXxXthats what i was asking before :)
22:44:25DataGhostit's not overwritten but just realigned
22:44:31SethXxXhm
22:44:41DataGhostif I'm right :P
22:44:50SethXxXill need to stfu and dig into the technicalities then
22:44:51SethXxX;)
22:44:54DataGhostwait, lol.
22:45:02DataGhostrockbox is loaded from a file on your music partition
22:45:09DataGhostthe 'overwritten' stuff is just a bootloader
22:45:14DataGhosthardly your entire firmware
22:45:23SethXxXok
22:45:36DataGhostit'll probably be in the manual

22:45:38SethXxXi just came from ipodlinux
22:45:44SethXxXand i had a crash every time
22:45:52DataGhostthat boots from another partition aswell :P
22:45:55SethXxXand 4 hours of sleep
22:46:05SethXxXso i was rather pissed off at it
22:46:06SethXxX;)
22:46:12DataGhostheh
22:46:20SethXxXs/was/am
22:46:32DataGhostwell, what I do know for sure is that the new loader2 will boot appleos, linux and rockbox just fine, with a nice menu at boottime
22:46:55DataGhostand I'm going to continue working on it right now
22:48:01SethXxXgood boy :)

22:48:52SoapDataGhost: the rockbox loader will boot all those too.
22:49:08DataGhostah well then, you need to rtfm indeed SethXxX :)
22:49:13SoapSethXxX: reboot, as soon as the screen turns on put the hold switch in the on (red) position.

22:51:04enthehguys, when you compile for Rockbox, what size are the various C data types? how many bits is int etc.?
22:51:09entheh*compile Rockbox
22:51:28SethXxXthx soap
22:51:38amiconnentheh: Don't rely on type sizes
22:51:48amiconn(of standard C types that is)
22:52:08amiconnThe only type that is guaranteed to be fixed size is char
22:52:09enthehat the moment, DUMB assumes int is 32 bits
22:52:11entheh:/
22:52:22entheham I going to have to use int32_t?
22:52:31amiconnint can be 16 or 32 bit (although the only 16 bit port is currently dead)
22:52:49amiconnlong can be 32 or 64 bit (the latter in the simulator only)
22:53:05enthehwould the 16-bit port be capable of 32-bit int values where needed (using long or whatever)?
22:53:17amiconnyes
22:53:20enthehok
22:53:31amiconnpointers are usually the same size as long, but don't rely on that
22:53:44enthehdo you have 'long long'?
22:53:44amiconnEspecially don't rely on pointers having the same size as int
22:53:48amiconnyes
22:53:54amiconnlong long is a gcc feature
22:54:14enthehI think DUMB uses it in just one place: it does a 32x32->64 multiply and just takes the top 32 bits of the result
22:54:22amiconnoh
22:54:38enthehit does it by casting to long long, then multiplying, then shifting >> 32, then casting back to int - and I checked the ASM for one GCC version and it was good
22:54:40amiconnThat offers some opportunities for optimisation on target :)
22:54:41enthehfor x86 that is
22:54:49enthehbut I'd probably not use that part of DUMB in the port anyway :)
22:54:56enthehso that's probably academic

22:55:25amiconnOn coldfire this could then use emac optimisation

22:55:57 Join Thundercloud__ [0] (n=thunderc@82.153.198.223)
22:56:07enthehwell it's part of the resampling/mixing loop
22:56:12amiconnIt's a dsp-like unit in the coldfire core
22:58:48enthehamiconn: how likely is it that the 16-bit port will be resurrected, and how likely is it that new ones will come along?
22:59:01amiconnI have no idea
22:59:24enthehplatforms where int is 16-bit aren't common these days ... and allowing for them would probably make life a bit difficult
22:59:28amiconnIt was a rather weird target
22:59:28enthehin DUMB in general
22:59:47Zagorentheh: I would recommend ignoring 16-bit and face that headache if/when we want/need it.
22:59:49amiconnNot only was it a 16 bit cpu, but it also was a harvard architecture
22:59:59enthehZagor: that's what I'm hoping I can get away with ^^
23:00
23:00:11amiconncalmrisc16 core
23:00:48entheheven Java is designed with 32-bit CPUs in mind (e.g. variable reads/writes are atomic except for the two 64-bit types)
23:01:06enthehwhat's a harvard architecture?
23:01:27amiconnSeparate instruction and data bus
23:02:07enthehoh, where code is in one address space and data are in another?

23:06:39SethXxXfor whoever is working on this: note there is a difference between the usb power coming from a pc connection and the wall charger, with ipods. the requires a data connection, the other only gives juice.
23:08:00amiconnOf course there is a difference, but rockbox does not yet detect it
23:08:55*amiconn ordered an usb wall charger for working on this problem
