01:56:21dan_aNo - the Video is the one we call the 5G (or 5.5G for the new ones.) They can't record through the headset jack, so you need to get a dock connector from somewhere, and then connect a 3.5mm stereo plug to pins 5, 6 and (I guess) 2 of the dock connector.

03:00:44nickv111Hey, guys. I'm wondering what you'd think about removing the CORDIC stuff and transcendFunc from calculator.c
03:01:18nickv111Personally, I believe that with the speed of sqrt, an infinite series would work just as well for doing things like logs, exp, and other powers
03:01:34nickv111Same with trig functions: they can be expressed as infinite series
03:03:25JdGordonpatches are always welcome

03:04:45nickv111Sorry. My internet connection has been a bit sketchy lately
03:05:28nickv111Anyway, I'm wondering what you'd think about replacing CORDIC and transcendFunc with individual functions for things like exp and log. We don't even need a sqrt function: with exp and log, we can quite easily implement sqrt
03:07:54Llorea1nickv111: Are they faster?
03:08:14nickv111I'm not quite sure about that

03:08:35nickv111But I believe that if we have enough processing power for sqrt, we have enough processing power for infinite series
03:08:42nickv111Besides, it would certainly clean up the code
03:09:06nickv111Also, I don't really like the way transcendFunc is used to handle all transcendental functions
03:09:36nickv111Maybe they should have their own functions?
03:10:28nickv111What do you think, Llorean?
03:10:33LloreanIs that beneficial to the function of the program, or just to reading the source code?
03:11:13nickv111It would help reading the source code, but I'm honestly not sure about performance
03:11:42dan_anickv111: Remember that anything that makes performance worse hurts battery life
03:11:58nickv111Hmm.
03:11:59LloreanYou should test to see if your way of doing things is non-harmful before suggesting it.
03:12:14nickv111Personally, I've had some trouble understanding CORDIC
03:12:24nickv111So I can't really test the difference too effectively
03:12:43nickv111I guess what I'd do is implement my own log and exp functions on my computer, and my own CORDIC, to test performance
03:12:56nickv111I already have log and exp implemented in a C file I wrote.
03:13:01LloreanOr just implement your own log, and compare it to the cordic ones, on-target.
03:13:17***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
03:13:20nickv111But the CORDIC functions aren't even implemented yet
03:13:27LloreanTesting on a computer is somewhat pointless since the environment is very different on-target.
03:13:46dan_anickv111: You might be better talking about this between about 08:00 and 23:00 UTC, when the main developers are about
03:13:59Lloreandan_a: Actually, I think he wants to catch jhMikeS for this one, if I recall.
03:15:03nickv111It might help if I understood CORDIC
03:15:10nickv111So far, I don't really understand it much at all.

03:15:45nickv111Mostly, I understand how if you have a complex number in phasor form, and you multiply it by another in phasor form, their angles add and their magnatudes multiply, but that's really trivial
03:16:06nickv111What I don't understand is how functions like sin, cos, tan, and even log and exp are implemented from this. . .
03:16:10LloreanYes, but multiplies are slower than shifts, if I understand, and cordic gets away with just using shifts.
03:16:23nickv111Right, because it's using powers of 2
03:17:03nickv111Anyway, the magnatude in most cases is 1, I believe, because it's the unit circle
03:17:25nickv111But I have no idea how adding angles of complex numbers helps at all
03:17:47nickv111Maybe it has to do with the relation to z=x+iy form and z=r*e^(i*p)?
03:18:28JdGordonaaaaaahhhhhhhh... complex numbers have no place here.. :D
03:18:50nickv111Not according to http://www.dspguru.com/info/faqs/cordic.htm
03:19:09nickv111Which is an explanation of CORDIC using complex numbers, and CORDIC very much relates to calculator.c

03:24:17LloreanWhat I don't understand is, if CORDIC's not in use, how are you talking about 'replacing' something that's not there?
03:25:53nickv111CORDIC is there
03:25:55nickv111Just not wholly
03:26:19nickv111If you ever mess with the calculator plugin, you'll find that all of the functions that are transcendental say, "Coming soon"
03:26:20TrueJournalsIs the dictionary plugin not supposed to scroll? Because it's quite annoying not scrolling...
03:27:16nickv111So obviously something's missing
03:27:24TrueJournalsI should learn how to code and make it scroll...
03:27:56nickv111If I understood CORDIC and the algorithms that calculator.c is using, I'd probably know more precisely
03:28:00nickv111Llorean: Do you grok CORDIC?
03:28:52Lloreannickv111: Looking at the article on wikipedia, I could probably pick it up in a few days. Doesn't look like there's anything there outside of what maths I know, but since I've never played with it before I can't say for certain.

03:33:49nickv111The theory
03:34:12nickv111I know that it tries to approximate an angle

03:34:48nickv111It does this by subtracting or adding an angle from the current angle
03:34:54LloreanIt speaks of it much more geometrically, without so much talk about rotation matrices and such.
03:34:58nickv111Each angle it adds or subtracts is half that of the previous.

03:36:47safetydaneh... I wouldn't look at the cordic function in eq.c as a shining example of cordic use. It's extremely specific to producing sin/cos in the fixed point format the eq wants.
03:37:41safetydanPersonally, I think infinite series should be more than fast enough for the calculator plugin. It's not like you're going to be doing more than, oh say 10, complex functions per second.
03:37:51safetydanJust has to be faster than a human :)
03:38:26Lloreansafetydan: Yeah, but the other thing he's doing is getting rid of constants defined in calculator for ones in math.h, in which case sin, cos, etc might want to be shared as well for future use.
03:38:36LloreanAnd for future use, though ought to be the fastest ones we can leave lying around. ;)

03:39:28safetydanLlorean, the calculator plugin uses double throughout so it has different needs from the core.

03:40:30LloreanAh, well in that case never mind me.
03:41:15safetydanthough if someone wants to expand apps/plugins/lib/fixedpoint.h that'd be great too
03:41:22safetydanthere's only fsincos and fsqrt there
03:41:48nickv111safetydan: I guess battery life depends on performance, though, so do you believe that replacing CORDIC in calculator.c with infinite series would be okay?
03:41:49 Quit obo (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer))
03:42:00nickv111safetydan: I'd actually really like to know how CORDIC works

03:42:06nickv111safetydan: I'm still trying to learn the theory
03:42:23safetydannickv111, I wouldn't think that battery life should be (much of) a concern for plugins.
03:42:24dan_anickv111: Ignore what I was saying about battery life if these things are only used in the calculator plugin
03:42:52*dan_a should have been in bed hours ago
03:42:59safetydanThe calculator plugin is in dire need of updating so go ahead and update it however you feel comfortable
03:43:20safetydannickv111, if you understand cordic, you're doing better than I did :) My maths is horrible.
03:43:56nickv111So if performance isn't too much of an issue, I think that infinite series would work just fine
03:44:02nickv111Especially since they may actually /work/
03:44:11nickv111The number of iterations needed for infinite series to work is pretty low
03:46:30nickv111Okay, well, here goes.
03:46:36*nickv111 rolls up his sleeves, and gets to work
03:46:48nickv111Wow, it's been a while since I've coded.

03:49:10 Quit obo (Client Quit)
03:53:49LloreanWow, CORDIC really is quite clever. Now that I've read a bit more, it's one of those things where it's the kind of elegant solution you really feel like you should've been able to come up with yourself, but your brain just doesn't look in that direction.
03:54:06nickv111It's clever, but I don't understand much of it
03:54:17LloreanBut, anyway, yeah for calculator as long as the user can't tell that they're waiting for an answer, it's probably 'fast enough' however you do it.
03:54:54nickv111I believe that you find a solution by rotating a complex number in phasor form
03:55:26nickv111Clever.
03:55:37nickv111However, the details are still a bit hazy to me
03:56:41nickv111How does one go into the main menu while using the simulator?
03:57:10LloreanDepends on the keymap for the target you're using, I believe
03:57:23LloreanThere should be a bitmap that shows which number pad keys associate with which buttons.
03:57:54nickv111Oh, thanks

04:00:01LloreanI will say that the wikipedia article on CORDIC is not very well written, in my opinion. It looks like something I'd try to pass off as a 'showing my work' to one of my highschool teachers. :)
04:00:13nickv111Heh
04:01:13LloreanIt's been 5 years since I've really done any non-basic math, but I think I've got a general grip on this cordic thing now. I don't think I could write out an algorithm yet for it, but I see what they're doing.
04:01:27nickv111Same
04:01:37Lloreansafetydan: What was it that fixedpoint.h needed specifically, out of curiosity? It's unlikely I do it, but I've done unlikely things before.
04:03:41safetydanLlorean, nothing as far as I know. It's just that the library looks a little anemic at the moment with only two functions :)

04:10:13nickv111The PI function on the calculator still works. That's all I've tested it
04:10:44nickv111http://rafb.net/p/BiMGBr20.html
04:12:43LloreanM_PI_2 strikes me as a bad name for PI/2
04:12:53LloreanIs that a standard or did someone of ours come up with that?
04:13:12hcsstandard
04:13:19LloreanWeird.
04:14:13LloreanI apparently don't use half of pi often enough
04:14:38hcsno, you take the whole pi, greedy
04:14:52LloreanPi is good stuff.
04:15:04nickv111Meh. It cuts down slightly on computation
04:15:24nickv111Okay, I posted the new patch
04:15:57nickv111BTW, certain definitions are handy. For example, M_LN10 may exist, but why divide by M_LN10 when you can multiply by M_INVLN10?
04:16:21nickv111For converting bases, it's much more handy to have M_INVLN10
04:16:36LloreanOh, I've no doubt definitions are handy.
04:16:56LloreanI just didn't like the name of that one. Which means I'm going to have to track down some guy somewhere who named it decades ago and complain. :-P
04:17:08BigMacHey on ubuntu how would I install subversion(or whatever I will need to patch and compile for the 5g)
04:17:16nickv111apt-get install subversion
04:18:24 Join fasmaie [0] (n=yohann@cpe-65-24-91-175.columbus.res.rr.com)
04:19:26BigMacthat all I am going to need?
04:19:50nickv111Are you just trying to check out the code?
04:20:02nickv111To compile it, you'll need to make sure you have gcc and is related components
04:20:14LloreanBigMac: You also need the development toolchain, installed with rockboxdev.sh from the source's /tools/ directory
04:20:17nickv111For the SDL version of the simulator, you'll need the development version of the SDL libs
04:20:22nickv111Right.
04:20:31nickv111rockboxdev.sh is incredibly handy
04:20:46LloreanIt makes that whole process a lot simpler.
04:21:08nickv111Formerly, when I had to cross-compile, I'd download binutils, compile it, download gcc, compile it, and download a C lib
04:21:17nickv111Kind of a pan
04:21:18nickv111pain*
04:21:46BigMacok so once I svn co sn.... I can cd into the tools directory and sudo apt-get install rockboxdev.sh
04:21:56LloreanNo...
04:22:07nickv111No, no
04:22:08LloreanYou just run rockboxdev.sh...
04:22:12nickv111./rockboxdev.sh
04:23:10BigMacoh sorry
04:23:24nickv111Hey, svn stat shows that I've updated calculator.c, and indeed I have, as shows the patch. How do I basically commit the work I've done, without comitting it into the repository? In other words, how do I make it so that it makes a new revision from what I have, but only locally?
04:23:27BigMacand I will look up to compile
04:23:44Lloreannickv111: Why do you need a new revision?
04:24:07nickv111Llorean: So that when I make future changes, I can post a new patch
04:24:38daurnimatordid you guys see that archos firmware is now open source?
04:24:41LloreanDon't you want the new patch to be able to be applied to clean SVN, so someone doesn't have to download *all* of them to be able to apply the changes?
04:24:42daurnimator(for 4th gen)
04:24:58LloreanShouldn't the new patch simply be cumulative?
04:25:14nickv111I guess so
04:25:16nickv111I wasn't sure, personally
04:25:18safetydannickv111, unfortunatley svn doesn't really support that sort of function. If we were using git or darcs or arch maybe.
04:25:30safetydanYou could look at seeing if you could get svk going
04:25:39nickv111That's fine
04:25:43nickv111It's not really that important to me.
04:25:48Lloreannickv111: Or you could always -R your old patch before diffing if you really had to. :-P
04:25:55nickv111Hehe
04:26:07nickv111Well, I guess I'll just have a cumulative patch
04:26:23safetydangenerally I use multiple rockbox directories if two patches touch the same file
04:26:32nickv111When I post the patch, should I just have a note, "This patch obsoletes x. . ."
04:26:58Lloreannickv111: Well you could just post it as a comment to the same task.
04:27:20nickv111Like, "This patch is obsoleted by y. . ."
04:27:26nickv111Okay
04:27:57nickv111BTW, is there a "pow" function?
04:28:31nickv111For using infinite series, it would be handy, though the infinite series only require very simple exponents (in the form a^b, where b is a positive, whole number)
04:29:07nickv111Naturally, I could use a for loop to implement this kind of exponent
04:29:09safetydanI don't think a pow function is in Rockbox
04:29:21nickv111Okay, I can always implement my own simple pow function.
04:29:23nickv111Thanks
04:29:33nickv111I've got to go take a shower. See you guys later tonight, hopefully

04:30:44daurnimator - 404,504,604 (wifi),704
04:32:58BigMacLlorean: What would the c lib be called because gcc and binutils are already installed
04:33:18LloreanBigMac: All I personally told you to do was to run the script, right?
04:34:31BigMacYah I know but you seem to be the knowledge base round these parts
04:34:56LloreanYes, but considering you're following instructions other than those I gave you, maybe the problem is that you're trying to do things you don't need to?
04:35:19safetydanBigMac, what have you done so far? The rockboxdev script takes care of pretty much everything.
04:36:56BigMacI haven't run it yet because I was told to install binutils, gcc, and a c lib which I have yet to find

05:05:13Lloreanblackness: I used the word 'exactly' because I wanted you to describe what you've tried.
05:05:19BigMacwhy am I getting those errors
05:05:35BigMaclike where is my arm elf files supposed to be
05:05:41nickv111BigMac: /usr/local
05:05:50nickv111BigMac: Did you add /usr/local/arm-elf/bin to your path?
05:06:00safetydanBigMac, maybe try doing "apt-get install build-essentials"
05:06:03blacknessI extracted rockbox-ipodvideo to my ipod

05:06:47Lloreanblackness: How long did you hold it?
05:06:53nickv111export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/arm-elf/bin"
05:07:09blacknessnot that long maybe 15 sec
05:07:16Lloreanblackness: And did you turn hold On and Off first?
05:07:46LloreanBecause the official instructions include doing that, which seems to clear up some issues with keypress detection. In _most_ situations you don't need to, but sometimes it seems you must.
05:07:52blacknessah thank you got it working

06:28:11combrainsin either case, you need to install VMware tools inside the VM.

07:30:46illriginalOn your site to download that is.
07:31:56Mikachudo you want to install rockbox?
07:32:46illriginalyeah, what happened was, i turned up my toshiba mp3 player while holdin the up button on the side (the volume) and it replaced the original FWIMG01.DAT with the rockbox one.
07:32:55illriginalso basically i need to get the rockbox version.
07:33:19illriginalwait... i said that really wrong.
07:33:19Mikachui don't know how to install on those
07:33:32Mikachubut you have read the install instructions in the manual?
07:34:16illriginali turned ON my mp3 player, while holdin the volume up botton, and it went into a screen where it found my original FWIMG01.DAT file, and it replaced the rockbox FWIMG01.DAT version.
07:34:21 Part decayedcell_

07:59:07illriginali wanna learn about this fm recording and also cuesheets.
07:59:11Mikachuare you looking at the toshiba manual?
07:59:23illriginalyes sir
07:59:26LloreanWell, the Gigabeat doesn't have an FM chip, so FM recording isn't exactly a feature.
07:59:46Mikachucue sheets were added yesterday
08:00
08:00:03LloreanThey also don't have much in the way of a related option? Isn't it just enable/disable?
08:01:30illriginalit is
08:01:45illriginalalso.. what option lets my mp3 player play every song in my folder
08:01:52LloreanJust play a song.
08:02:00illriginalit just repeats the same album.
08:02:07LloreanDoes that folder just have that album in it?
08:02:31LloreanYou did ask how to play all the songs in a folder...
08:02:38illriginalyeah like i have the folders spllit up my genre, then alphabetical order of artist, then their albums
08:02:58illriginali want to be able to play every single song possible from artist A to Z
08:02:59Mikachuif you open the context menu on a folder, you can add it recursively
08:03:26Lloreanillriginal: Look up the "Insert" playlist option, as well as the option to recursively add subdirectories
08:04:21illriginalor could it be the auto change directory?
08:04:52LloreanAuto Change Directory will work, in a way.
08:04:59LloreanBut if you turn on shuffle, it'll only shuffle the songs from one album
08:05:06illriginalnah i dont like shuffle.
08:05:42illriginalbasically if im listening to artist A and im on his last album, last song, the next song should start on artist B with his first album.
08:06:00illriginaland first song of that first album.
08:06:28LloreanWell, you can try auto change directory, but I believe it causes more rebuffers than simply using playlists properly
08:06:47illriginalrebuffers as in it takes time to load?
08:07:16LloreanMaybe a second or two between albums, but it also just uses a bit more battery (assuming I'm right, I'm not sure on this one, but I seem to recall mention of it)
08:07:37illriginalah i see..
08:07:53 Quit dpassen1 (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
08:07:54Mikachuit would probably rebuffer the start of the album when you're at the end, then throw that away again when it switches to the next album
08:08:14LloreanMikachu: I think it just doesn't rebuffer beyond the end of the album, so you get no next song info.
08:08:24illriginalso recursive does the same exact thing yes? And if so, does this option mean that I need to load every single track by every single artist onto this recursive playlist?
08:08:30LloreanBecause you have to have 'repeat none' for it to work
08:08:35Mikachuah
08:08:45Lloreanillriginal: No, you just click the music folder, and choose "Insert" and you're done.
08:08:47illriginalyeah i have repeat completely off.
08:08:53illriginalawesome
08:09:03illriginalcan i just click on the genre?
08:09:05LloreanYeah
08:09:08illriginalwoohoo
08:09:11illriginalawesome
08:09:13LloreanJust make sure recursively adding is enabled.
08:09:19illriginalyeah doin that right now
08:09:36illriginalhow may i inster?
08:09:40illriginalinsert?
08:09:45LloreanIt's in the context menu.
08:09:45illriginalplaylist catalog?
08:09:48LloreanPlease, just read the manual
08:09:57LloreanYou could've searched it for "Insert" in like, half a second. :-P
08:10:07illriginallol that's why im speakin to you... the manual im lookin for.. i can't find.
08:10:14LloreanYou can't find the manual?
08:10:23illriginalim on a manual.. hold on ill show you.
08:10:34LloreanThe PDF manual?
08:11:07illriginal-.- nevermind im on it... i must have right clicked open in new tab and not realized that i didn't check it.
08:14:22illriginalno it doesn't say how to insert it
08:14:29illriginalhttp://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-gigabeatf/rockbox-buildch5.html#x8-750005.8
08:14:57LloreanTry using the PDF manual so you can simply search for it in the whole thing...
08:15:10illriginaloh the PDF has more information?
08:15:15LloreanNo, it has just as much
08:15:20LloreanBut you're looking in the wrong place.
08:15:30LloreanSince the PDF is one big file, you can search the whole thing using the search function.
08:15:36LloreanWhich would save you a lot of time
08:17:04illriginaldo i need to create this playlist?
08:17:22LloreanThe first thing you insert automatically creates a playlist in memory
08:17:25LloreanYou can save it if you'd like
08:18:37illriginalim sorry... i have the option set to ON
08:18:46illriginali read both the html and the pdf of this section: 5.8. Playlist Options
08:18:46illriginalER
08:19:25illriginalnothin reads anything about how to insert the folders into this playlist so that it will play all folders.
08:19:30*Llorean sighs
08:19:41LloreanIs there some reason that you're ignoring what I'm telling you to do, and doing something different instead?
08:19:51illriginali click create playlist, then view current playlist... it says i have no playlist.
08:19:52LloreanI said specifically to use the search function, in the PDF.
08:20:03illriginalim ill search for insert.
08:20:32LloreanInstead you reread the same section that I told you already was not the right section, after telling you that the PDF has just as much information as the HTML.
08:20:51illriginalso the manual isn't organized correctly?..
08:20:59LloreanNo, the manual is organized fine.
08:21:41LloreanBut it'd be very hard to insert a song into a playlist from anywhere but the filetree.
08:21:53LloreanSpecifically the file context menu
08:22:00LloreanWhich was mentioned to you very much earlier in this conversation.
08:22:12LloreanBut you were also told explicitly to use the search function
08:22:31illriginalok what is the keyword i need to search for
08:22:35illriginalit's not Recursively nor insert.
08:22:35LloreanInsert...
08:22:38illriginalnegative.
08:22:41LloreanNo, there's definitely insert.
08:22:45LloreanAre you searching the PDF manual?
08:22:48LloreanOr just one page of the HTML one?
08:22:58illriginalthe PDF ;\
08:23:02LloreanIt's there.
08:23:05LloreanI went and checked myself
08:23:31LloreanThe word insert shows up a LOT in the manual.
08:23:47Llorean22 times, specifically
08:23:52Mouser_XHeh.
08:24:58Mouser_XJust to note: I almost always use the insert feature to make my playlists.
08:25:25LloreanIt's probably one of the most used features in Rockbox, I'd imagine.
08:25:44combrainshell yeah
08:25:44Mouser_XRarely do I select a specific song, unless I'm in my OCR directory (there's over 1500 files in there. This makes it difficult to go through in one day).
08:26:08LloreanIt features rather heavily in the whole "Working with Playlists" section of the manual
08:26:11combrainsI like being able to make an OTG playlist
08:26:28combrainscant do it with many things
08:26:32LloreanMouser_X: I just leave it on shuffle and resume it several times over a period of months to get through OCR.
08:26:40Mouser_XHeh.
08:26:48illriginalcombrains i gotta register.
08:26:49LloreanOf course, OCR mixed with my SPC collection, now that's a long playlist.
08:27:02Mouser_XI started some FF music. 12 hours later, it was still digging through the FF music...
08:27:20Mouser_XAll of which was from OCR.
08:27:36Mouser_XI *very* rarely use the shuffle.

08:28:16combrainshehe
08:28:35Mouser_XMy method of searching requires patience.
08:28:35combrains*spot the sarcasim*
08:28:52Mouser_XI just go through the whole thing, and keep an eye open for what I'm looking for.
08:28:55Mouser_X:P

08:29:18Mouser_X(There is some truth to that, but that's certainly not how I do most of my searching.)
08:29:42LloreanHonestly, the only parts of the manual I've read, are the parts I check up on immediately before telling someone to go read the manual.
08:29:53combrainsone of the things that I have been wondering about lately, what are these 2 new codecs in rb and what do they do?
08:29:57Mouser_XHeh.
08:30:02combrainsie speeks and scp
08:30:05combrains*spc
08:30:09Mouser_XSPC is GREAT!
08:30:13Mouser_XIt's SNES music.
08:30:21Lloreancombrains: Speex is primarily a voice codec. You can encode audiobooks at less than 24kbps with still perfectly suitable quality
08:30:22Mouser_Xhttp://www.snesmusic.org/
08:30:36combrainsah i see
08:30:43Lloreancombrains: SPC is the format of SNES music on the hardware, and the codec actually emulates the SPC chip I believe to play it back fairly accurately
08:30:52Mouser_XYes.
08:31:01illriginali clicked on the folder root, and it goin through every song and saying codec failure.
08:31:09Mouser_XIf Rockbox supported compression, I could have 20,000 SPCs in less than 100 MB.
08:31:21combrainsWOWE
08:31:33Lloreanillriginal: That usually means an improperly installed Rockbox. Have you played any music since your last update?
08:31:46illriginali just updated like 30 minutes ago...
08:31:54LloreanThat doesn't answer my question.
08:31:54illriginalall i did was overwrite the songs.

08:32:36LloreanAnd I have _no_ idea what you mean by 'ftw'
08:32:43Mouser_XFiletree?
08:32:48LloreanThere's not really an abbreviation even close to that which relates to Rockbox.
08:32:51illriginalthe bootloader.
08:33:04illriginalall i did was overwrite the two files.
08:33:10LloreanWell, Rockbox also has a folder.
08:33:15LloreanWhich kinda needs to be updated as well
08:33:28LloreanWhich is why we tell you explicitly to simply extract Rockbox.zip onto the device.

09:22:38LloreanJerryLange: When you unplug the USB cable after disk mode, if it's the disk mode it automatically goes to from Rockbox, it should automatically reboot after.

09:25:29LloreansweKing: You'll hear about it when it's done, at least.
09:25:53sweKingyes! of course!
09:26:17LinusNsweKing: it's on my table, really
09:26:28sweKingAA!! its done then?
09:26:35LloreansweKing: That means it's being worked on
09:26:41LinusNi am working on it, but it is far from trivial
09:26:51LinusNand my spare time is limited
09:27:22sweKingok.. The big problem. spare time
09:27:43JerryLangejust a quick question. how long did it take before a stable version of rockbox was first made on the archos players?
09:27:44directhexspare time? i donated fourty whole dollars! that's enough for full-time work!
09:28:24peturrofl
09:28:28JerryLangei wouldnt want to be hired by you directex :p
09:28:38LloreanJerryLange: That wouldn't really be able to be used for predicting it on other players, especially the iPods which have some very big hurdles still remaining
09:28:46*petur calculates how many minutes that pays for
09:29:06LinusNJerryLange: you mean how long before we released 1.0?
09:29:13JerryLangeyeah i figured as much, but i just wanted to know. just curious
09:29:15sweKingI think im going to donate sometime. Its a nice projekt
09:29:28JerryLangeLinusN: sure
09:30:24JerryLangeor when you first said "we got sound" on the archos

09:34:20LinusNfirst time for daps, but i have worked with embedded systems for many years before that
09:34:51JerryLangeits alot easier now isnt it? all the players use the same code for the firmware. the hard part is the bootloader when first coding for a dap?
09:35:41directhexall?
09:36:05JerryLangethe players that are currently ported
09:36:15Mikachuuh, the firmware code is incredibly different
09:36:49JerryLangeok i was thinking of it a different way.
09:38:36LinusNyes, it is simpler in many ways because you reuse most of the application code
09:39:06LinusNbut it gets more and more complicated at the same time, since we have so many targets to care for
09:39:32directhex#ifdefs!

09:54:44daurnimatorLinusN: join #archopen now - the head of project is there
09:54:48linuxstbLinusN: From what I've gathered, archopen provides a very complete kernel (similar to our firmware/ directory), which is used directly by the larger applications (Doom, various emulators), and there is also what they call a "shell" application which is used to launch smaller applications (.med files). I think the aim is to move all the standalone apps to .med files.
09:54:57linuxstbThere's no audio playback system though afaik.
09:55:23daurnimatorcorrect
09:55:50LinusNthe archopen faq is...sparse :-)
09:55:56linuxstbdaurnimator: I saw you link to archos.com's GPL page in the logs - have they actually released any of their own software/drivers, or just the source to pre-existing GPL'd software that they should have been distributing the source for all along?
09:56:16daurnimatorreleased their modifications for GPL code
09:56:26daurnimatornot everything - ie, no signature stuff :(
09:56:34linuxstbSo there is some interesting code?

10:21:27LinusNsometimes i think having difficult instructions isn't such a bad thing, to weed out the cl00bies
10:21:49LinusNbut we really need to rename .rockbox
10:22:01amiconnwhy?
10:22:07LinusNthe mac silliness is killing me
10:22:09GodEater_because OSX is dumb
10:22:45amiconnWhy care about macos when most devs don't care about archos? </sarcasm>
10:22:46LinusNthose mac cl00bs don't know how to unzip, and OS X isn't exactly helping them out
10:22:52LinusNamiconn: lol
10:23:03GodEater_oooh I felt the claws on that
10:23:17*amiconn fails to see the fun in it
10:23:26LinusNi couldn't care less about the mac losers, but they are a pain in the ... because they are seeking support all the time
10:23:52JerryLangewhat would you change it to then if you did?
10:23:57LinusN"Rockbox"
10:24:00amiconnI like the fact that .rockbox is hidden
10:24:05LinusNamiconn: me too
10:24:17GodEater_it could still remain hidden on the player though
10:24:23JdGordonIts good hidden on the player, but hidden on the comp is annoying
10:24:27LinusNwe *could* of course create some kind of installer app
10:24:34GodEater_*gasp*
10:24:48JerryLangei agree with amiconn and LinusN
10:25:01LinusNthe problem is that mac users don't get to choose where to unzip files

10:27:12MonkeyTamerI wish all installers had that option... I personally think HP should be banned from making drivers or installers for that reason
10:28:15LinusNamiconn: regarding the lack of care for archos, we tend to care most for the platforms we actually use. i haven't used my archos for years.
10:28:55LinusNmost of the devs here have never even seen an archos player in real life
10:29:41LinusNso we need a plan for how we want to continue the work to make rockbox run on the archos
10:29:59GodEater_I thought it did run, I thought the only issue was rombox ?

10:30:59GodEater_ouch
10:31:05scorcherebuffers quite often
10:31:59GodEater_at the risk of being branded "heretic", would it be worth conducting some sort of poll of our user base (those that bother to talk to us) and see what the numbers are on most used players ?
10:32:12GodEater_or I guess we could do something with the download stats of the images ?
10:32:55GodEater_it would seem, erm, "frivolous", to me to expend lots of effort on something which not a great deal of people use
10:33:07*GodEater_ hides from amiconn
10:33:21B4gderwell, this is not a democracy
10:33:25scorcheoptimizing helps all targets
10:33:31LinusNyes it does
10:33:52safetydanGodEater_, I think the idea was floating around that we get rombox working again (though various means, lang cleanup, menu recoding) and then tag the source at that point
10:34:27LinusNBagder and I suggested a fork of the Player some time ago
10:34:28GodEater_but is there anyone actually *doing* that? (apart from JdGordon with his menu clean up)
10:34:30safetydanFrom there... well I guess a separate "low mem" branch could be made
10:34:39*safetydan raises hand
10:34:51safetydanwell I started doing the lang cleanup anyway. Been distracted by speex lately
10:34:54GodEater_I guess I just have low visibility of that then :)
10:36:07LinusNthe problem is that optimizing memory usage of a player that you don't even own is often not as fun as doing stuff that enhances the player that you do own
10:36:43LinusNso what will you spend your precious spare time on?
10:36:45B4gderand the amount of devs caring for the Archos models are now very fast approaching: 1

10:44:57linuxstbBecause there isn't a hidden attribute?

10:46:05LinusNin the mac case, the "." is not the real problem

10:48:47LinusNsafetydan: rockbox doesn't care where the cfg files are
10:48:47JerryLangehmmmm
10:49:18B4gderbtw, I think there's still some requirements about certain files being in certain dirs for them to survive reboots

10:56:10B4gder64bit related I think
10:56:18LinusN(i mean how is it more usable)

11:11:39scorchei have experienced that on 3 different v1s....archos firmware does not have that effect

11:11:51amiconn*Disk
11:12:07B4gdersounds likely
11:12:08scorchepossibly....but why would the OF not have that gap?
11:12:22scorcheit still has to spin the disk up
11:12:26amiconnI never experienced this- My largest folder contains 200something tracks
11:12:53scorcheso when you skip a track, it immediately goes to the next?
11:13:28***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:13:30amiconnIt does unless it has to spinup the disk first
11:13:49scorcheyeah....i know it is related to spinup
11:14:11scorchebut the thing is, i dont knwo why the gap is there in rockbox, but not near as large in OF even when it has to spin up
11:14:46scorcheand it seems directly connected to the number of files in the dir
11:15:03amiconnThere shouldn't be a gap in rockbox. It should keep playing the old track until the new one is ready

It could be because the Mac port of wxwidgets is still relatively new, and the widgets rbutil uses aren't implemented.

12:20:23LinusNamiconn: on my x5 the boost counter stays at 1, but only if Voice Menus is On
12:20:45directhex|workGodEater_, did you compile it yourself?
12:20:56LinusNfor me, it is not sufficient to have the voice file present
12:23:10LinusNthere is a call to trigger_cpu_boost() last in the cpu boost log, which is never unboosted by the kernel
12:23:34GodEater_directhex|work: of course - I'm a gentoo man ;)
12:24:24directhex|workGodEater_, i thought the point of self-compiled kernels was to avoid wasting disk space with support for hardware you don't have at that particular instant? O_o
12:26:24GodEater_"wasting disk space" is a bit much on a machine with an 80GB hard drive when you're talking a few hundred kb for a module or two...
12:27:12GodEater_also (whilst I wouldn't quite call myself a gentoo ricer) you DO get to make sure the kernel is compiled for your specific hardware arch - rather than just "i386"

13:50:43SurgerI mean 160 kbps MP3
13:50:58preglowiriver did allow that, at least
13:51:01SurgerAnd even that ones that support WAV recording only go up to 32 kHz
13:51:06preglowhahaha
13:51:11preglowthen it is without doubt deliberate, yes
13:51:38SurgerMost of iRiver's new products no longer have line-in.
13:52:01preglowdeed
13:52:28SurgerAnd the Sony Minidisc players can record high quality but don't allow you to dump it in digital form to a PC - you have to record with analogue from the device.
13:52:48SurgerScrew the MPAA, RIAA and all those bastards
13:53:02SurgerI'm trying to record music lessons ...

13:56:00Nico_PLinusN, amiconn: what do you think of the progressbar-y-coord patch ?
13:57:09directhex|workSurger, how does the recording industry know that? safer to assume you're illegaly recording songs from the radio
13:57:12LinusNmy general opinion on WPS patches nowadays is "sure - go ahead" - until we implement viewports
13:57:30petuririver 320kbps recording sound worse than 128kbps lame encodings (for me)
13:57:45LinusNhowever, i wish someone could have a go at theming the rest of rockbox, for example the status bar
13:57:57Surgerpetur: Yeah I've heard that. :-(
13:58:14directhex|worki'd still like themable icons next to menu entries. but i'm an eye candy whore
13:58:19LinusNi'm sure rockbox mp3 encoding is even worse
13:58:25Nico_PLinusN: ok
13:58:36LinusNdirecthex|work: i want that too
13:58:42Nico_Phow could the statusbar be themeable ? custom bitmaps ?
13:58:53LinusNNico_P: but i haven't seen that particular patch, though
13:58:56JdGordonLinusN: I themed the list widget.. but had a problem getting text to display over a bmp
13:59:03LinusNNico_P: yes, custom bitmaps
13:59:03JdGordonso gave up and deleted the changes
13:59:17amiconnJust bitmaps won't work
13:59:17LinusNwhy over a bmp?
13:59:30bluebrotherwas there some discussion about the plugins sorting thing recently?
13:59:35JdGordonbecause I had the ability to display a background image for each line of text
13:59:39LinusNbluebrother: check the wiki
13:59:39amiconnThe volume and battery status icons are drawn
13:59:41Nico_PLinusN: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/?getfile=12970
14:00
14:00:02bluebrotherI did, I was just wondering if there was some more recent discussion here ;-)
14:00:06Nico_Pit's a rewrite of gl's patch ( FS #4783)
14:00:08*JdGordon wishes patches adding lots to the bin size would wait for rombox to get under control again...
14:00:11bluebrotherI might try the folder based approach
14:00:26LinusNNico_P: looks ok to me
14:00:28*pixelma thinks the same as JdGordon
14:00:36bluebrotherat least if I find time over the weekend :)
14:00:43LinusNJdGordon: i agree
14:01:29bluebrotheras it adds only one more check when filtering this is the best solution imo regarding code size (and I don't see any advantages of the other proposals)
14:02:35*JdGordon is doing the display menu now.. so hopefully we get a decent bit back
14:02:48directhex|workassign metadata to plugins, and allow browsing by metadata!
14:02:53Nico_PLinusN: i think i'll commit it and add y coords to the rockboxed WPS progressbars... it will clean up the bitmaps a bit (and fix the bad markers with cuesheets)
14:02:59LinusNthe voice boost problem is an effect of the system where the kernel handles the unboost
14:03:15LinusNNico_P: what bitmaps?
14:03:33bluebrotherJdGordon: the new icons in the menus are toggled by the setting in file view / show icons. I think that should get moved to display / show icons now
14:03:46JdGordonok
14:04:03preglowLinusN: isn't it more a case of something trying to boost/unboost manually and forgetting to unboosT?
14:04:04bluebrotherat least it doesn't make too much sense there anymore ;-)
14:04:06*amiconn wonders where [IDC]Dragon vanished again
14:04:13preglowLinusN: i don't see how the kernel can "forget" to unboost
14:04:15Nico_PLinusN: the progressbar bitmaps ("pgln-*.bmp") are bigger than needed to have better alignment
14:04:16amiconnHe was working on the cut-down bootbox
14:04:30LinusNpreglow: no, the actual boosting is done with a trigger_cpu_boost() call
14:04:38preglowthen hooray
14:04:51preglowSlasheri: time for the weekly "update RockboxKernel" nag :)
14:05:08JdGordonbluebrother: where in the display menu order?
14:05:27JdGordonpreglow: hehe weekly.. thats at least the 3rd ive seen since monday
14:05:43LinusNthe problem is that the voice thread uses queue_wait() when it has finished playing a voice, but queue_wait() doesn't unboost, only queue_wait_w_tmo() does that
14:06:00preglowLinusN: ah, yes, in these cases boosting should be done manually, i think
14:06:14preglowLinusN: at least that's what slasheri said
14:06:44pregloweither that or queue_wait should unboost, but there was a pretty good reason for that not doing so
14:07:02LinusNi don't understand why the voice thread would need to boost at all
14:07:12markunNico_P: the S has a FPU, but not the ones rockbox runs on
14:07:21Nico_Pmarkun: ah
14:07:25Nico_Pshame

14:07:54preglowit's good for hairloss
14:08:02LinusNpreglow: assuming you have a life to begin with, of course :-)
14:08:36markunJdGordon: yes, did you read about the problem with the low_latency setting and USB?
14:08:53directhex|worki wonder whether quake would run on suitably high-spec targets
14:09:08markundirecthex|work: I think it will

14:10:23directhex|workgive or take some mhz
14:10:24LinusNbut......... maybe we should consider code size a little
14:10:44JdGordonwe were soo close... :'(

14:11:30Nico_Pi know, i wasn't intending on committing it, it's too big
14:11:45Nico_Pthe y coord one is very small
14:11:59bluebrotheris the scrolling margin that big?
14:12:18LinusNnot big, but it adds to the code size
14:12:20Nico_Pbluebrother: well the patch file is big :) not sure about the effect on bin size though
14:12:20preglowi'd rather we not commit those now, really, too much of a chance the current wps system will end up staying even though everbody thinks it should be redesigned
14:12:23pixelmathere are two: scrolling margins and partial-scroll
14:12:48JdGordonif anyone is bored and wants to help on the filesize front... please grab the root_menu patch and fix the dirborwser() and radio screen functions to work nicer... should save a few bytes with them fixed
14:12:53preglowbut of course, the alternative might be nothing happens with it at all...
14:13:49pixelmathen don't demotivate amiconn too much ;)
14:13:52*LinusN recalls the metadata-in-buffer situation
14:13:57JdGordonmidkay_: you still around?
14:14:03JdGordonhaha pixelma
14:14:30LinusNwe can't have viewports - it adds too much to the binary size :-P
14:14:43LinusNwhat a dilemma :-)
14:14:55bluebrothercut the wps for it! :)
14:15:31pixelmaJdGordon: it's not too funny... I myself don't too much motivation to even try standard SVN on my OndioFM...
14:15:39pixelma*don't have
14:16:11markundirecthex|work: yes, I also saw that quake port with fixed point optimizations

14:17:38markundirecthex|work: well, forget about it then, which language would you like to use?
14:17:57Nico_Pwhat exactly needs to be done in order to shrink bin size ?
14:18:05JdGordonremove waste code
14:18:12Nico_Pie what are the priority areas ?

14:18:21bluebrotherrewrite inefficient code
14:18:29markundirecthex|work: ok, but which one then?
14:18:32pixelmapreglow: first I don't have a different target and second: I really like it and none of the currently supported other targets suits my needs this much
14:18:32amiconnLinusN: I don't think viewports will add that much to the binary. And if the other parts of rockbox make use of it, I expect the size to go down
14:18:44LinusNamiconn: that is probably true
14:18:56LinusNamiconn: do you have a general idea how it would be best implemented?
14:19:10directhex|workmarkun, i prefer working with high-level languages like c#. i learnt to hate c during my degree
14:19:13amiconnViewports already exist in my head (yes, still)
14:19:40amiconnAnother thing I'll add in the process will be proper bitmap masking
14:19:50Nico_Pamiconn: don't you want to write it down (eg on the wiki) so that we can have an idea how it will work and maybe even help you implement it ?
14:20:57Nico_Pare there any parts of the code that are known to be inefficient i can try to improve ?
14:21:10JdGordonthe radio
14:21:16markunThe playback code also maybe?

14:22:37Mikachuif i'm updating my arm-elf-gcc, should i use 4.0.3 or 4.0.4? has anyone tried 4.0.4 successfully?
14:22:37*JdGordon wonders if the list widget could work with less code

14:45:55Mikachusays the man page anyway
14:46:04Mikachuit also suggests that passing all .c files to gcc at the same time is better
14:46:11preglowahh, yes
14:46:34amiconnpreglow: Using volatile forces gcc to not discard the asm block, and not move it around
14:46:51preglowMikachu: isn't that enabled by O1 anyway?
14:47:06amiconnIf an asm block has only inputs and no outputs, volatile is assumed automatically
14:47:12preglowamiconn: yeah, i remember it's needed for asm blocks with no output constraints
14:47:16Mikachuit says O3 i think
14:47:35amiconnBut if a non-volatile asm block has outputs and these outputs aren't needed by subsequent code, the block might be discarded
14:47:36Bagderhttp://build.rockbox.org/dist/output/sizes-20070215T133339Z
14:47:38preglowMikachu: depends on the gcc version i guess, 4.1 does it at O1
14:47:54Mikachui don't know if it would save the same amount on archos, if it's to do with saving function calls
14:47:59Bagderpost-commit summary
14:48:01amiconnpreglow: It's _not_ needed for asm blocks with no outputs
14:48:25amiconnFor blocks with outputs, it depends on what these outputs do
14:48:40JdGordonBagder: nice... can you add a delta to that?
14:48:53BagderI intend to read out and present the delta in the table
14:48:53preglowamiconn: what? if you don't have output or input/output constraints, gcc _will_ throw non-volatile asm blocks away, i'm 100% certain of that

14:50:57Mikachutooltips wouldn't be so good to get an overview
14:50:58preglowa bit of the point is forcing people to see what they just did to the binary size :)

14:51:59JdGordonjust an idea? or is it actually going to happen?
14:52:02JdGordonah ok
14:52:06preglowamiconn: if it's assumed automatically, that's got to be late addition, i distinctly remember wondering what the hell gcc was up to one time it threw away my asm blocks
14:52:24preglowamiconn: or perhaps that was a block with neither inputs or outputs, but then that definitely should be assumed volatile as well

15:32:16preglowi was planning on doing one, but gcc is a slut
15:32:37directhex|workBagder, since your data points (file sizes) are long rather than thin, what's the reason for putting them in the chart vertically?
15:33:15JdGordonI can do one

15:33:42JdGordonactually better not

15:44:15amiconnpreglow: Regarding ipod binary sizes... I think that the 4 functions in ata.c don't need to be in iram for arm, so we can keep them static
15:44:41amiconnI'll test my theory tonight, measuring disk speed. If that works, we can get rid of -ffunction-sections
15:44:57amiconn...which in turn gets rid of many long calls
15:45:32amiconnWith just -O, the resulting binary works fine
15:45:44amiconnIt's -O2 which breaks it, causing the stkov

15:46:04Nico_PBagder: how to we access the different dumps ?
15:46:39Nico_P(size dumps)
15:46:53Bagdercurrently they're available as links from the sizes table

15:47:47JdGordonthats the deltas?

15:48:05Bagderno deltas yet
15:48:14JdGordonoh ok
15:48:22preglowamiconn: good, but i've still got the nice problem here. i remove volatile from the dsp.h macros, and boom, gcc ignores them
15:48:33Nico_PBagder: it looks fine to me
15:48:42preglowamiconn: at least the ones in apply_gain it ignores
15:48:52Nico_Pcould you add a link to the regular build table towards this one ?

15:57:37Bagderyou know how?

16:00:27markunI'm not sure if IE and FF use the same tag for tooltips :)
16:00:43Bagderooh
16:00:59markunbut they you can include both
16:01:52Bagdertry now then
16:01:58markunah no, it works with both
16:02:00amiconnShould work on nearly all html elements, like paragraphs
16:02:46bluebrotherBagder: how about adding the actual size at the top of the table and only giving deltas in the list itself?
16:03:26Bagderbut how would the deltas be compared to the size in the top?
16:03:44Bagderright now, the last line has the total only because it has no delta
16:03:54Bagderi.e two logs => one delta
16:04:07amiconnBagder: Putting title= should work directly in the <td>, no need for the extra <span>

19:58:48pilot000Hi, I have a problem with my iriver H140 (flashed Rockbox). When I will boot the unit, it shows "No partition found. Insert USB cable and fix it." When I try to format the disk with Swissknife, I get a read/write error. Is there a other way to reset the partition table and reformat the unit?

20:00:00preglowpilot000: well, short of taking the disk out and plugging it into a computer with an adaptor, no, that's it
20:00:17preglowpilot000: but anyway, if it doesn't work like that, it does sound very hardware failure-ish
20:02:10pilot000preglow: I modded my player last week with the RTC chip. But I had before also problems with the disk.
20:02:38pilot000I seems like I need a new disk
20:02:39preglowpilot000: and you can't boot iriverfw?
20:03:02preglowit probably pukes when it doesn't see a partition as well
20:03:06Arathispilot000: If it's something with the partition table testdisk could help: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
20:03:18preglowthis reminds me i'm having a problem with my nano too....
20:04:48pilot000preglow: no change to boot to iriver fw. I said goobye to it before a long time (bootloader 7-pre3 and flashed everything)
20:06:35pilot000Testdisk does not see the iriver :-(
20:06:47preglowthen it does sound like a new disk would be good
20:08:09Arathishas the H140 something like an UMS mode or how does it show up as a device?
20:08:44directhexlinuxstb_, for some reasons markun can probably explain better than me, the remote behaves... oddly... when it's enabled

20:10:31preglowlinux throws scsi errors at me when i try to write to my nano, and windows claims it's not formatted
20:10:35preglowthis doesn't really look too well

20:26:18amiconnpilot000: Depends. 1.8" HDDs are available with 2 different connector types
20:26:26linuxstb_(as opposed to a backup of one)
20:26:39Mikachuwhat happens if you write an older?
20:26:45linuxstb_No idea...
20:27:08linuxstb_I think it reflashes it though.
20:27:14pilot000amiconn: but I think i need a toshiba one ?
20:27:16Mikachuis it possible the newer ones fix the slow emergency mode?
20:27:42preglowi seriously doubt it
20:28:25linuxstb_rbutil for the Mac comes in at a lightweight 9MB...
20:28:35pregloweverything statically linked? heh
20:28:35Mikachuwith code for 300 different processors?
20:28:51linuxstb_Yes, everything static...
20:29:03linuxstb_And universal binary, so just two processors.
20:29:11amiconnIt doesn't strictly need to be a Toshiba, it's just that (nearly?) all 1.8" HDDs are made by Toshiba
20:29:25amiconnStill, the Toshiba drives are available with 2 different connector types
20:29:27Domonoky@ linuxstb is it striped ?
20:30:02preglowlinuxstb_: ipodinstallationbeta link to amd64 binary is quite dead
20:30:23Domonokyon windows uclpack is used which puts the size from ~6 MB down to 2

20:31:19Domonokylinuxstb_ so you got rbUtil to compile on MacOsX ?
20:31:28pilot000then I need the first one, because it looks exactly as the one is in my iriver
20:31:29linuxstb_Domonoky: I'm not sure if it's stripped, I'm still getting to grips with the Makefile... But it can be distributed as a compressed .dmg, so that will help by about 50%.
20:31:31preglowlinuxstb_: please, man, this has become too easy...
20:31:32preglow:)
20:31:45Domonokythats good :-)
20:32:04preglowi didn't even have to bloody tell it the device name
20:32:04amiconnpilot000: Both offers are examples where the image doesn't match the text
20:32:09linuxstb_Domonoky: Yes, I didn't realise that wxwidgets is in fact many libraries, and I wasn't including a needed one in the Makefile (which I copied from a sample application).
20:32:26Domonokynice
20:32:32linuxstb_preglow: And now your PC will boot Rockbox...
20:32:51Domonokybut there are still lots of things todo in rbUtil..
20:33:01preglowanyway, it seems my nano is back on track
20:33:03preglowkudos to everyone
20:33:34linuxstb_Yes, and it needs adapting for Mac OS a little... /usr/local/share/rbutil/rbutil.ini isn't a useful location to look in.
20:33:45linuxstb_(Or in Linux for that matter)
20:34:13Domonokyhm is rbutil in /usr/local/share/rbutil ?
20:34:23amiconnThe MK6008GAH seems to be available with ZIF connector only, which would be the correct one for iPod G5 but the wrong one for irivers
20:34:28Domonokyi think it look for the ini in the programfolder.

20:34:59Mikachuokay, thanks

20:35:56linuxstb_I'm not sure what the convention is on Mac OS X, but something like ~/.rbutilrc would be more Unix-like

20:37:32pilot00040GB dual patter
20:37:39preglowpilot000: then you have room for a 60 gig, afaik
20:37:52amiconnLooks loike it. The MK6006GAH connector is shown in this pdf http://sdd.toshiba.com/localcache/82000000291D00000BB80000000100000000.pdf page 8. That's the correct one for irivers. The MK6008GAH's ZIF connector looks like here http://sdd.toshiba.com/localcache/820000002F2600000BB80000000100000000.pdf : much smaller
20:38:00Domonokyhm, i think the place where the executable sits would be the best, the programm doesnt change the ini..

21:02:24Domonokyan extra button would be easier, because for bootloader uninstallation you have to specify your device, for normal rockbox unistallation the place in the filesystem is enough..
21:03:34dan_aIn that case, possibly pop up a notice after normal rockbox uninstallation suggesting that people remove the bootloader too.

21:35:39amiconnThat's a different story
21:35:48Mikachui thought ffunction-sections was for iram
21:36:12amiconnRemoving -ffunction-sections doesn't remove all long calls, but it removes long calls to static functions
21:36:19Mikachuaha
21:36:21amiconn(-mlong-call has to stay)
21:36:54amiconnata.c is the only file where iram functions are also declared static - and gcc goofs and thinks it could use short calls for those
21:36:54dan_aDidn't linuxstb try getting rid of -mlong-call?

21:37:30Mikachuas i understand, it's impossible for the compiler to know if it should generate a long call since it doesn't know where the linker is placing the function
21:37:33amiconnSo for arm, iram functions must not be static, or vice versa, static functions must not go into iram
21:38:29amiconnMikachu: Yes, however, the gcc manual states that gcc will use long calls as soon as it sees a section attribute
21:38:44amiconn...which is obviously not true if it also sees a 'static' qualifier
21:38:54Mikachubut that doesn't really help, does it?
21:39:10amiconn??
21:39:23Mikachuwell, you can ignore me if you want, it won't help that i understand it :)
21:39:39dan_aOooh, icons! Pretty!
21:39:45amiconnI don't understand what part you don't understand
21:39:46peturamiconn: regarding output_dyn_value(): It has an issue with large values (like if you do dir properties of your whole music tree (33MB here)), I noted this when making my first patch: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5742#comment11783
21:40:05Mikachui thought long calls were needed when jumping from iram to normal ram, or vice versa
21:40:27Mikachubut gcc will only see a section attribute on iram functions, so it would put long calls when going into iram, and when going inside iram, but not out of
21:41:32amiconnpetur: The comment doesn't say what output_dyn_value can't handle
21:42:09amiconnWorks like a charm in all places where it's used, and I tested it across 9 orders of magnitude (the whole 32 bit integer range)
21:42:51amiconnThe rockbox info screen uses it, among other places
21:42:51peturI missed there, my tree is 33GB and that is > 32bit
21:43:26amiconnWell, if you count in bytes, the it will overflow 32 bit ints
21:43:36amiconnJust convert to KB first, and all is well
21:43:43peturduh
21:43:48peturwhat's the point then
21:44:01Mikachucan't it just take a long?
21:44:08amiconnA long *is*
21:44:10preglowlongs are 32 bits?
21:44:12amiconn32 bits
21:44:13preglowso no point

22:12:50amiconnGetting rid of -ffunction-sections reduces code size for nearly every rockbox binary on arm (rockbox.ipod, *.rock, *.codec)
22:13:12amiconnFor some reason, wav2wv.rock grows quite a lot though
22:13:16preglowsmall wonder
22:13:24preglowstrange
22:13:28amiconnI guess it's due to inlining

22:18:36amiconnIt seems that getting rid of -ffunction-sections also reduces boost somewhat (*iirc* that is)
22:18:43Bagdermost often that is u-boot and linux kernel, with no fun drivers included
22:19:19amiconnI get 37% boost with 128kbps mp3 now

22:28:53LloreanLear: Not necessarily, with the margins you can make it appear to be uncentered can't you?
22:29:08LearNot vertically, IIRC.
22:29:11Nico_PLlorean: good question
22:29:15LloreanOh, yeah, not verticaly
22:29:34 Join kubiix [0] (n=Miranda@mos-81-27-201-28.karneval.cz)
22:29:45LloreanNico_P: Though you could always make that the very last line of text, 'offscreen' as it were, so it doesn't have to offset later lines.
22:30:24Nico_PLlorean: it probably eats the line but yes what you say works
22:30:27Nico_Pi'll check though
22:30:41LloreanBut basically, the progress bar should be able to work like it does now (the patch doesn't break existing WPSes, including those with non-graphical PBs), but when using the Y-Cord can it be essentially positioned like any arbitrary image?
22:31:24Nico_PLlorean: that's it. it doesn't break WPSes that don't have the y-coord and adds the possibility of having one
22:32:34Nico_PIt's a patch that's very used in custom builds because WPS creators love it
22:32:47LloreanYeah, but how used a patch is isn't always an argument for it.
22:32:53Nico_Pi know
22:32:53LloreanBut in this case, I think the patch is a good thing
22:33:14LloreanThe progress bar is now a graphical element, not a textual element, so arbitrary positioning makes sense.
22:33:30LloreanWe could already do it on the x-axis, but it was mostly pointless since you couldn't put anything on the same line with it.
22:33:40LloreanWith this patch, you can put it on the last line, and make it appear to be on the same line as text, right?
22:33:55dan_aamiconn: http://pastebin.ca/357694
22:34:04amiconnHmm, 44% boost with -O2 and 45% boost with -O3. Quite the opposite from what I expected...
22:34:11Nico_PLlorean: probably. i never tried that
22:34:31Nico_Pi'll try
22:34:42amiconndan_a: Hmm, so it gets slower... that's not good
22:35:03LloreanNico_P: While I'm in favour of it, it seems to me that if done properly the patch should allow PBs to mimic the behaviour of images. :)
22:35:13amiconnThe other option is to un-static these functions for arm. It's a bit ugly but it shouldn't cause slowdowns this way

22:46:29preglowmp3 + cue is a hack
22:46:35peturpreglow: Exactly!
22:46:39preglowthat was needed because media player coders were braindead

22:47:20amiconnhrrrrrmmmmmm
22:47:28preglowthere's no point in making new mp3 + cue files
22:47:30Nico_Pprobably because i was using it with VBR mp3
22:47:41*amiconn doesn't know whether cue sh*t support even works properly on archos
22:47:46amiconnNo material to test with
22:48:34preglowamiconn: there's really no need to be derogatory
22:48:35dan_aamiconn: Would any slowdown in the disk be compensated for elsewhere by having more IRAM available? It also reduces the size of rockbox.ipod by 14k
22:48:39directhexpreglow, there's no point making new mp3 files! yay for vorbis! and i understand live sets tend to come in shn or flac format
22:48:40preglowpeople have yet to call your commits shit
22:49:05blitheWell, a lot of Electronica DJ sets get distributed as MP3 with a cue sheet.
22:49:27blitheSo it's nice to have support for it.
22:50:06directhexi wish i knew how to get ahold of recordings of concerts i've been to
22:50:18blithedirecthex: Not on archive.org?
22:50:57directhexblithe, nope
22:51:21Nico_PLlorean: having the progressbar on a text line works well... it just has to be on a line that follows the text so that it overlaps it
22:51:25Nico_Plast line is fine for that
22:51:42petur directhex: record them yourself: get an iriver h1x0 or h3x0 with rockbox on, a good pair of mics and maybe a battery box or pre-amp. check taperssection.com for details
22:52:27peturor an x5 of course
22:53:03amiconnpreglow: I was referring to this .cue file idea. I can't see the point in it except maybe for cd copying (cue sheet does not only store track boundaries but also track indices). But in this case the .cue/.wav pair is temporary
22:53:23preglowi can't see the point in it at all, apart from being able to play files other people have made
22:53:27preglowof which i have a couple
22:53:41preglowmainly some dj sets
22:53:42amiconnI've never seen a single .cue/.mp3 pair myself
22:53:55blithePersonally I prefer to have my DJ sets as a single MP3.
22:54:02blitheI guess it all comes down to preference and usage.
22:54:16amiconnI ripped my dj set cd into multiple tracks. Plays perfectly gapless even on hwcodec
22:54:19Nico_Pi agree it's probably not very useful/elegant in the priciple but it does get used a bit
22:54:22preglowi don't really care, but i'd rather have several files than one
22:54:24amiconn(I used lame -nogap of course)
22:54:25Mikachui've seen cue+ape and cue+tta
22:54:30preglowif i want to listen to just one segment: copy one file, done
22:54:32Mikachuwhich i promptly converted to something sane
22:54:35Nico_Pand like blithe i prefer to keep DJ sets in one single file
22:54:37perl|worki have tons of .cue+mp3 as well
22:54:49perl|worksome .cue+flacs too

23:40:54Mikachuthe size table doesn't even show sims
23:41:00amiconnI observed an interesting effect yesterday: Building for the same target (Ondio FM) using the same binutils (2.16.1) and the same gcc (4.0.3 rockbox patched) yielded slighly different binary sizes on cygwin vs. debian-amd64
23:41:21Bagderthey do differ with the same gcc version
23:41:23preglowthen that's probably it, then
23:41:34preglownothing we can do about that
23:41:41amiconnThe difference was 16 bytes iirc (one section alignment step)
23:41:42dan_aWill it depend on what gcc gcc was compiled with, or something like that?
23:41:57amiconndan_a: That's the only reason I could think of
23:42:02Mikachumaybe even what cflags it was compiled with
23:42:08Mikachuphase of the moon..
23:42:08amiconn...but afaui that shouldn't happen...
23:42:23preglowit really shouldn't
23:42:32BagderI'll make the colors require >8 or < -8
23:42:34preglowbut i think it can with cross compiles
23:42:50preglowBagder: probably +/- 16 would be better
23:43:13Mikachui think only gcc 4.3 and later added self bootstrapping on installing, all older are built with the host compiler, at least some parts, afaiu
23:43:15*amiconn would really like to know how to get rid of the silly section (and string) alignment on sh
23:43:19Bagderok, 16 it is

23:47:24dan_aI remember when I tried to upgrade to the brand new Linux 2.0 kernel, I had to upgrade libc, which involved upgrading gcc, and step 1 was to compile gcc, and step 2 was to compile it again using your just-compiled gcc.
23:48:27Mikachuthen there's the crazy gentoo users who will recompile every package on the system after they update gcc
23:48:31 Quit miepchen^schlaf (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
23:49:38preglowdan_a: i believe it's common for gcc to bootstrap itself when not doing crosscompiles
23:50:11Mikachuprobably some parts requires gcc extensions :)

23:57:20Nico_PBagder: it's much nicer that way
23:57:29Bagderyeps
23:57:39Nico_Pmaybe the total delta column needs a special value ?
23:57:49Mikachuwouldn't average delta make more sense than total delta?

23:58:54Bagderyes I guess
