#rockbox log for 2007-03-14

00:00:29Bagderbut DAC_L also has DAC_Mute_off
00:01:24andrew867so the L and R are the left and right channels?
00:01:52Bagderit isn't very clearly expressed, but I would think so
00:02:09andrew867i'm finding that the sound output currently in rockbox is a lot lower than the sandisk firmware, thats why i'm trying to hack it to go a bit higher
00:02:17 Quit desowin ("use linux")
00:02:22andrew867what would be the value of L for just unmuting it?
00:02:44Bagderthe value is 5 bits, and the Mute_off is bit 6
00:03:17andrew867im kinda new to this but that would mean I would have to convert the hex to binary and back?
00:04:31Bagderit means 3f is maximum
00:04:32 Join Dark_Apostrophe [0] (n=darkapos@supporter/monthlybyte/DarkApostrophe)
00:04:38Bagderuh
00:04:44BagderI mean 1f
00:04:49Dark_ApostropheDoes Rockbox run on Creative players?
00:05:31Soap2nobody with a creative player has ported Rockbox to their player yet.
00:05:37andrew867Bagder: would you happen to know where the mixer volumes are set?
00:05:44Dark_ApostropheSoap2: :(
00:06:15andrew867hmm...I wonder if it would be possible to run the linux kernel on the sansa ;)
00:06:36jhulst_Dark_Apostrophe: There is currently a group of us working to get Rockbox on the Zen Vision M
00:07:18merwinBagder: sorry, your patched file didn’t work :)
00:07:20donvitoBagder: hows it going
00:07:29donvitooh no
00:07:35donvitoi was getting all excited
00:07:53Bagdermerwin: then e200tool recover into a vanilla e200 BL file and try from there
00:08:01bluebrotheris there a function that can check if a plugin can be run?
00:08:21Dark_Apostrophejhulst_: I've got a Zen Touch
00:08:21Dark_Apostrophejhulst_: I've got a Zen Touch
00:08:26merwinBagder: ok...
00:08:41Dark_Apostrophejhulst_: Would it be backwards compatible?
00:08:54Bagderandrew867: I haven't really been involved in the audio work on the sansa so I'm not the best man to discuss this with
00:09:11jhulst_Dark_Apostrophe: From the ZVM? No
00:10:00andrew867Bagder: DAC_R would only be a 5 bit value right?
00:10:02Dark_ApostropheDamn.
00:10:11Bagderandrew867: correct
00:10:15Dark_Apostrophejhulst_: When do you expect to get it running?
00:10:32merwinBagder: Then, what firmware should i put on it?
00:10:33Dark_Apostrophejhulst_: I might consider buying a vision m.
00:10:47jhulst_Dark_Apostrophe:We are just getting going, it's probably going to be a while
00:11:14Bagdermerwin: a vanilla e200 one
00:11:17merwink
00:11:26Dark_ApostropheOk. What players do you recommend? I don't want iPods cause they're fragile and buying them supports DRM.
00:11:30jhulst_If you are interested and have experience, we are always looking for help
00:11:39merwini wish the recovery mode (REC) boot would notify you which version it was :)
00:11:44Dark_ApostropheAnd iRivers are difficult to get a hold of.

00:16:23Bagderoh
00:16:23donvitomerwin: hey so whats been going on?
00:16:26Bagderhehe
00:16:32BagderGalois: thanks
00:16:42merwinBagder: ok, so i verified that it loaded the modified recovery, but the vanilla e200 won’t load... neither will the rockbox e200r firmware
00:16:47andrew867Bagder: does the AS3514 have a line in? I think it would since there is an FM tuner in the canadian/american version
00:16:59Bagderandrew867: yes it does
00:17:11andrew867and if it does could you shed some light on how to switch from DAC to Line In in the mixer?
00:17:22Dark_ApostropheLinusN: No stores or e-stores selling it here.. :(
00:17:34merwinBagder: Or should i throw the rockbox e200 firmware?
00:17:36Dark_ApostropheMan, Norway feels so detached from the world.
00:17:39Bagderandrew867: I can't now, I'm off to bed

00:20:01safetydanmarkun, amiconn, thanks for getting those ARM4 speex opts working. I'll feed the changes back to the speex devs when I get a chance.
00:20:07donvitomerwin: did you get the modified bl loaded?
00:20:09preglowDark_Apostrophe: anywho, i'll tell you if i see it again
00:20:31Dark_Apostrophepreglow: I'm not likely to be here a lot...
00:20:33merwindonvito: yeah, but it goes back to the old one
00:20:39preglowDark_Apostrophe: sure, but if you are ;)
00:20:44donvitomerwin: like right away?
00:20:48amiconnsafetydan: If this gets included in official libspeex, the constraints can be simplified some more
00:20:51Dark_Apostrophepreglow: I'm on freenode most of the time, but not in this channel
00:20:55merwindonvito: next boot... not sure why
00:20:59amiconnI just wanted to keep the changes to a minimum
00:21:00preglowDark_Apostrophe: then i'll probably find you

00:23:23preglowbut with my usual pace these days, it might not be too soon
00:23:59safetydanwell I cracked open the Coldfire programmers reference... and got completely lost so I doubt I'll get much done :)
00:24:14preglowsafetydan: you could identify some hotspots for me

00:24:49andrewgargh, all my 'normal' irc nicks are alreasy registered :/
00:24:59andrewgbrb
00:25:01 Part andrewg
00:25:16safetydanpreglow, there's several parts of the library that already have asm opts, so I would assume those are hotspots.
00:25:25safetydanand as an aside, blackfin syntax looks really weird
00:25:30amiconnugh
00:25:30preglowsafetydan: not always true for different platforms, but yeah, not unlikely :)
00:25:44preglowsafetydan: all analog devices asm looks weird
00:25:49preglowblackfin asm looks somewhat like sharc asm
00:25:55amiconnThe blackfin code looks... interesting

00:29:22preglowhrm, looks like most of the filtering stuff i saw is gone
00:29:27preglowultraren: ask ahead
00:29:40ultrarenwhat's the root directory?
00:30:01andrewg867could someone add me to the Rockbox wiki users group please?

00:32:08 Quit Soap2 (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
00:32:25safetydanpreglow, do you mean that older versions of the speex source had more asm source?
00:32:31preglowsafetydan: definitely
00:32:38andrewg867ultraren: the root directory would be, for example X:\ where X is the drive letter that windows assigned it
00:33:01ultrarenah, i thought so
00:33:06ultrarenthanks!
00:33:09preglowsafetydan: i also had a chat with valin about it, he said much of the old asm code had been neglected when the c source changed
00:33:34preglowsafetydan: so the case might be that no one has written it yet
00:33:48preglowhe doesn't seem to be on irc now, though
00:33:51donvitomerwin: were you able to verify that the BL was indeed on the sansa?

00:34:01donvitomerwin: because i cant seem to get it to stay on there
00:34:47andrewg867when you copy the sansa bootloader the device should read it and write it to the bootloader area then delete it from the drive
00:35:18preglowsafetydan: the stuff in filters.c, for example, could be quite easily asmified
00:36:17 Quit mattzz ("Leaving")
00:36:17merwindonvito: Well, i edited the BL_Support that was modified and changed the string at the top... if i boot it immediately after using ‘e200tool recover’ into the REC mode, it shows the modified string. However, any following boots don’t show it
00:36:40donvitomerwin: cool...

00:36:45donvitomerwin: thats really odd
00:36:46merwindonvito: sort of...
00:36:48andrewg867then when you reboot, if you copied the rockbox firmware then it will try to load rockbox from the memory, or OF.bin from \SYSTEM when you hold down the right arrow
00:37:20donvitomerwin: so youre using e200tool under linux?
00:37:25merwindonvito: yeah
00:37:40markunpreglow, safetydan: maybe a good idea to talk to jmspeex (#xiph / #vorbis) before we do ARM optimizations after which the C code gets changed again
00:37:44donvitomerwin: ok, well thats still wierd, i changed the welcome string too, but it doesnt show it
00:38:01preglowmarkun: ahh, THAT was his nick
00:38:03preglowhe is on irc

00:38:25andrewg867i though you were doing something else, what exactly are you trying to do?
00:38:38donvitomerwin: get the rhapsody to boot rockbox lol
00:38:41merwindonvito: you have to hold down REC while it’s booting immediately after it writes the recovery and automatically boots it
00:38:41markunpreglow: I assume he's mister speex, might be wrong
00:38:49donvitomerwin: but were trying to see if the BL can be patched and replaced
00:38:51preglowhe is, i remember the nick now

00:40:02andrewg867ahh, that makes sense
00:40:29donvitoi just want to know how merwin got the patched bl to stay, even for just a reboot, because i cant get it to write it seems
00:41:14 Part toffe82

00:42:45merwinthat’s it
00:43:10markunmerwin: did someone already ask you to fix your codepage settings?
00:43:45merwindonvito: use ‘e200tool recover patched-bootloader.btl’ and while it’s writing it, start holding down the REC button... don’t let go of it until after it boots into the recovery mode
00:43:52merwindonvito: Then you will be in the patched mode

00:48:43andrewg867donvito: its based on debian and i'm not sure if they have updated it to GCC 4.1 yet, there is an sh script in the /tools/ folder on SVN if you download rockbox with it (SVN)
00:49:03andrewg867that will make GCC 4.1 in your home folder for you
00:49:18donvitoandrewg867: ok cool
00:50:07andrewg867what I did for mine to keep it organized was to cd to /usr/src, do 'svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox' and then you have the most surrent rockbox source in /usr/src/rockbox/
00:50:35donvitoandrewg867: cool
00:50:56andrewg867i also make a folder called 'sansa-e200-build' in /usr/src and ran '../rockbox/tools/configure' in there and edited the makefile to use GCC 4.1 that I manually installed on the system

01:53:38andrewg867barrywardell: yeah I was wondering about the mixer volumes and the DAC gains, the volume feels a lot lower that with the stock firmware
01:54:05DPicI just bought my ipod yesterday and there is no music. I put rockbox on it and when i initialize database it says 491 found and never finishes and if i leave it for too long it will have restarted and when i go into the database menu it tells me i need to initialize it again
01:55:08barrywardellandrewg867: you could try setting DAC_L to 0x5f and DAC_R to 0x1f, but that might be too high
01:56:30 Quit Moos (Client Quit)
01:56:36andrewg867hrm this is weird, I plugged in the sansa while it was "updating database" and now its charging while on the USB but not recognizing that it is actually on a USB port
01:56:45 Quit _Amblin (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))

01:57:16barrywardellyou need to unplug and plug it back in again
01:57:35andrewg867by the looks of the PCB scans there is a TI SPST switch chip connected to two pins on the bottom connector, maybe that has something to do with USB
01:57:37barrywardellit only switches to usb mode if you plug it in after the firmware has finished starting up
01:57:46andrewg867yeah thats what I thought
01:58:14barrywardellwhich 'issue' are you referring to?
01:58:53andrewg867the one where it recognizes that its plugged into USB while in rockbox but not actually doing anything
01:59:15barrywardellthat's because rockbox doesn't yet have a usb driver
01:59:34andrewg867and how would you switch to the Line In on the mixer instead of the DAC, im also looking for information on the "3-wire bus" that the FM chip has
01:59:38barrywardellit's the same issue that affects all other portalplayer targets (h10 and ipods)
01:59:59andrewg867ahh, I was thinking that you wern't getting any info about a USB connection but recongnizing the charger

02:01:02andrewg867here is another datasheet I found, it only says that it implements a 3-wire bus http://www.semiconductor-sanyo.com/ds_e/ENA0070A.pdf
02:01:26andrewg867"3-wire bus interface (Data, Clock, NR-W)"
02:01:34andrewg867NR-W is the Read/Write line
02:02:12barrywardellthere is a description of the 3-wire bus on the page I linked
02:02:42andrewg867I was getting rockbox to recompile while you linked me :)
02:03:50andrewg867oh well then, that clears up a lot of my questions, thanks

02:06:17 Quit hi ()
02:07:19andrewg867http://www.maxim-ic.com/appnotes.cfm?appnote_number=802 theres some info on SPI
02:07:55andrewg867that also explains why changing radio stations is kinda slow
02:08:42andrewg867barrywardell: i'm guessing the Mic is on one Line In and FM chip on the other
02:08:46amiconnNa, not standard
02:09:00barrywardellthe examples pretty much explain how to talk to the radio chip
02:09:04andrewg867or does the chip have a seperate mixer for the sudio ADC?
02:09:15andrewg867*audio
02:09:30amiconnandrewg867: How so?

02:11:46barrywardellandrewg867: yes, if I understand what you're asking correctly
02:12:30andrewg867does the AS chip have a way to listen to the input source via an internal loopback system of some sort?

02:34:48jhMikeSJdGordon: If I do this from withing the radio screen it just locks the player.
02:35:32Soap2valiant3400: then may I suggest you return the player, and "repurchase" it when the Sansa port is more fully developed. (That is, if you want to test-drive during your 30 day return period.)
02:37:00JdGordonjhMikeS: can you svn up and try again?
02:37:12jhMikeSJdGordon: nap
02:37:27JdGordonk
02:38:16andrewg867barrywardell: finally rebooting the sansa into rockbox to test the gain changes, it took me a while to figure out the USB problem, seems that myUSB ports arn't broken now but the player just needed a reboot
02:38:17JdGordonhow do you get to the rec settings from the fm screen?
02:39:08jhMikeSPress long NAVI
02:39:51JdGordonno rec settings there.... unless its not shown in the sim?
02:40:15jhMikeSThe sim used to show everything the same I think
02:40:46andrewg867barrywardell: it is seeming to to be louder, any higher than -18 dB seems to make the amp cut out. I'm testing with Running With The Devil btw
02:41:12andrewg867and I really love the volume fade out/in feature :)
02:41:33*jhMikeS was compelled to make them match after committing the first patch
02:41:56barrywardellthere is over current protection which is probably what's causing your problem

02:44:20andrewg867barrywardell: if I put on this bass test song the bass is really screwed over
02:44:44andrewg867you know if the master mixer or DAC mixer inputs could be adjusted any higher?
02:44:56andrewg867instead of adjusting the DAC -> mixer gain
02:45:19andrewg867hmm, yeah even on low volumes the bass sounds distorted
02:45:38barrywardell the value I gave you for the DAC gain is as high as it goes
02:45:49andrewg867which is way too high :P
02:45:58barrywardelland the volume control in rockbox sets the headphone gain
02:46:15 Part DPic
02:46:29andrewg867are there any other adjustments on the chip for output volume?
02:47:07barrywardellthere is individual gain for each input, then individual gain for each output
02:47:29barrywardellbut for listening to stuff from the DAC through the headphones there are just those two gains to worry about
02:48:11 Quit JdGordon ("CGI:IRC")
02:48:19andrewg867ok so if 0x50 L and 0x10 R is -16.5dB, what would be -8dB. I'm pretty confused on how you convert the dB (and mute bit for L) into hex for this register
02:48:42barrywardell0x1 in hex = 1.5db
02:49:00andrewg867what would mute off for L be?
02:49:16barrywardellthere is a common mute for both
02:49:18 Quit midgey ()
02:49:44andrewg867I meant DAC mute off, "/* DAC mute off, -16.5dB gain */"
02:49:58 Join lukaswayne9 [0] (n=lukas@68.84.69.12)
02:50:07andrewg867i guess you just add that mute bit to left which would affect both
02:50:26barrywardellthey're as Bagder said earlier: "the value is 5 bits, and the Mute_off is bit 6"
02:50:39barrywardellyes
02:51:31 Part cmptrgy412
02:51:45andrewg867oh I think I understand now, L for 8dB would be 0x59 or something close to it
02:51:53andrewg867*-8dB
02:53:14barrywardellI think it would be 0x56 ( 0x40 | 0x16)
02:54:01valiant3400I would have gotten an iriver or iriver but I can't find any in local stores, nor any on the net for less than 200 bucks heh

04:25:38saratogalavid: perhaps you could explain the situation to him and ask him put you in contact with someone a Nvidia
04:26:08saratogapresumably he knows quite a few people there
04:26:18lavidhaha, yeah. he's been there for 10 years
04:26:31saratogabasically, start working up their ranks
04:26:33*VoltageX does the NDA dance
04:27:14lavidNDA + VII = NVIDIA
04:28:10saratogayeah but if you go high enough up the chain, you might find someone who the NDAs don't apply to ;)
04:28:30VoltageXwell IMO we've got a better chance with NVidia, I mean at least they provide lunix graphics drivers
04:29:03lavidwhich would be David Kirk. But still, there would be an open source nvidia driver with 3d accel if they were as open as we'd like them to be
04:29:18VoltageXtrue

04:51:52aliaskHrm. I don't think that's rockbox related... Do you have another PC to test on?
04:52:27lavidif you're using a hub, don't. or try a different cable/port. also, try to reboot
04:53:25g8sealiask: just tried it on a winXP box, and it came up as an unrecognized usb device
04:53:43g8selavid: no hubs, straight into a port on the computer
04:53:59g8seperhaps the h10 port doesn't do the usb stuff yet?
04:54:16laviddoes it work with OF?
04:54:19aliaskg8se: Hrm, I'm inclined to say it could be the cable, but that's only because nobody else has this problem.
04:54:27lavidOF = orig firmware
04:54:48g8seOF, yes MTP and mass work (with the reset trick)
04:55:29lavidwell, since i don't have a h10 i can't do much but the voltages might be messed up
04:55:39aliaskThen it really does sound like a rockbox issue. The H10 is a portalplayer device, so we havn't written our own USB stack yet - if it's like the iPods it should just use the original firmware's USB mode
04:56:23g8seHmm, I've had problems with the OF usb mode. Large transfers seem to break
04:56:44g8seSeems like a common problem amongs H10 users on linux
04:56:49merwinWhen is someone going to write that usb stack?
04:57:00merwini’m waiting on it for sansa :)
04:57:20g8seI'm confused though, how do you hook into the OF USB stack? (I've not done embedded development before)
04:58:17aliaskIn the case of the ipod, I think there is a particular file that is a piece of code that is a dedicated disk mode
04:59:05aliaskOr load the ipod firmware and jump to the disk mode function - I
04:59:07aliask'm not sure which
04:59:52g8sethe iriver has an encrypted firmware on the disk, and the instructions list decrypting it as optional. So perhaps the port doesn't have support for using the OF usb mode.

05:17:54aliaskHrm, Ok. I have no clue what's going on then. Might need to wait for some of the portalplayer people to come on/wake up
05:18:03g8seAnd it does seem to do a reboot of some sort, but it comes back into the rockbox firmware
05:18:27g8sewhats this portalplayer thing? Is that kinda a sub architecture?
05:19:43aliaskIt's the type of CPU that is inside iPods and H10s among others.
05:20:28aliaskIt also handles the USB

06:02:32merwinmind expanding your question a little more?
06:02:34webguest51?
06:02:39webguest51alright
06:02:41webguest51I have a mac ipod trying to install rockbox, ive converted it to a windows format, but the installer for the bootloader wont work for me.
06:02:49webguest51it says this:
06:03:00webguest51[INFO] Scanning disk devices...
06:03:07webguest51[ERR] No ipods found, aborting
06:03:14webguest51[ERR] Please connect your ipod and ensure it is in disk mode
06:03:20webguest51ERR] Also ensure that itunes is closed, and that your ipod is not mounted.
06:03:28webguest51[ERR] Please refer to the Rockbox manual if you continue to have problems.
06:03:38webguest51itunes is closed and the ipod is NOT mounted
06:03:55webguest51as far as I know) on the ipod
06:04:03webguest51*I have all the files on the ipod
06:04:05_Amblinweb: Is your iPod connected to the computer through any hub?
06:04:10webguest51no
06:04:14webguest51im on a laptop
06:04:41_AmblinAnd the computer see the iPod normally?
06:05:13webguest51well, im on mac so I had to make it a FAT32 partion but, it does show up normally
06:05:39webguest51unless I unmount it of course
06:06:36_AmblinWell the first thing I would do is try the installation on a Windows based PC.
06:07:26webguest51the entire installition? would that be bad if I go back to my mac and have to re-format it?
06:07:30 Part toffe82
06:08:28_AmblinFormat the iPod?
06:09:14webguest51well, yes if I go on a windows and install it, and then go to my mac, and go into itunes, wont that mean I will have to re-format it for apple again?
06:10:31_AmblinThe boot loader gives you the option to boot both rockbox and the original firmware
06:11:47_AmblinSince you can load the original firmware, I see no reason to format, but if you needed to, I'd make iTunes "update" the firmware, and put back all the original firmware files.
06:12:02scorcheyou are totally missing what he is asking...
06:12:04webguest51so the rockbox firmware will be FAT32 but the apple will be the same as before?
06:12:23scorchewebguest51: no you dont have to...the apple firmware works fin under FAT32
06:12:35_AmblinMy appologies.
06:13:00scorchebut instead of simply going to a windows computer, it is best to try and see what the root of the problem is
06:13:05webguest51its just the bootloader installer wont work for me
06:13:15webguest51ive done everything
06:13:18scorcheunless, of course, you have windows right there
06:13:49scorcheare you sure you made it a FAT32 primary partition?
06:13:50webguest51no
06:13:53webguest51yes
06:13:54webguest51im sure
06:14:06webguest51disk utility says its a FAT32
06:14:13scorcheand primary?
06:14:28webguest51what do you mean?
06:14:40webguest51the HD itself on the ipod?
06:14:42scorchethere are 2 types of partitions...primary and logical
06:14:53webguest51yes, they are both FAT32
06:15:02scorcheno...that is the partition type

06:15:14scorchei am referring to the type
06:15:49webguest51I dont know what you mean

08:14:54LloreanIt's a hardware mode, all we do is tell the iPod to reboot into it.
08:15:07BHSPitLappyas long as the ipod says "do not disconnect", the computer should see it.
08:15:28aliaskzdro1: I think the cause of the problem is that the harddrive has been corrupted in some way, which means that neither rockbox nor the apple firmware can boot.

08:16:19zdro1Ni artition found
08:16:22BHSPitLappyzdro1, then of course the computer can't see it. You need to put the iPod into disk mode.
08:16:54BHSPitLappyHe doesn't need to do any of that. He just needs to do the key combo right.
08:17:07LloreanBHSPitLappy: I didn't know he hadn't even gone into disk mode, yet.
08:18:06LloreanThere had been a case with some older builds where while Rockbox was rebooting into disk mode, the Mac would decide it didn't want USB connections any more, and although that was believed fixed, I thought he might be experiencing something related.

08:44:47FujinTakeruI appreciate it nonetheless Allen.

08:45:05 Nick Allen is now known as Amblin (n=Osiris@udp124072uds.hawaiiantel.net)
08:45:13FujinTakeruYes, I have Admin privileges, and the drive letter is H
08:45:44LloreanAnd the iPod: Is it an entirely unmodified iPod? You've never installed iPodLinux or anything else?
08:45:59FujinTakeruNo
08:46:46LloreanOne of the tests iPodPatcher uses to determine if a device is an iPod depends on it having certain data in a certain place that can be removed if you've done certain modifications to your iPod.
08:47:24LloreanI'm not sure what the current solution is to this, though.
08:47:36FujinTakeruWell, I'm restoring the firmware to see if that remedies it
08:48:00LloreanFujinTakeru: I believe it's dependent upon an apple MBR
08:49:16*FujinTakeru nods
08:49:47LloreanThere's some uncertainty as to whether the Apple restore actually re-creates the Apple MBR, or just freshly creates a valid one that iPodPatcher still won't detect.
08:50:02FujinTakeruCould a conversion from HFS to FAT32 cause a problem?
08:50:24LloreanNo, it's necessary.
08:50:32LloreanBut, it's expected that you've done it this way: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodConversionToFAT32
08:50:47FujinTakeruThat I know, just wondering if that could cause an error.
08:51:00LloreanIf it's done using the MBRs in our wiki, it should not.
08:51:11LloreanIf it's done some other way, I don't know.
08:51:52LloreanOf course, I'm a little bit in the dark here too. This is a problem that just recently showed up with the automated iPodPatcher, and it only affects a small group of iPods (those who've done certain mods) and I've only peripherally witnessed a discussion on it
08:51:56LloreanSo I may have some of the details wrong.

08:54:05LloreanI'm pretty sure it'll detect, and complain about, a MacPod
08:54:15GodEaterbut ipodpatcher should 100% successful it it's got a not Mac MBR
08:54:19LloreanThe problem is that if you've converted it to Winpod by some means where you don't have the stop-sign any more.

08:56:08GodEaterwhich is why I believe we carry the MBR images, to make sure they're valid as far as ipodpatcher is concerned
08:56:46LloreanThat, and it's the easiest way to walk a Mac user through the HFS+ -> FAT32 conversion, I believe.
08:56:53GodEaterI wonder if linuxstb would include a −−I-really-know-what-I'm-doing-yes-this-is-an-ipod flag to ipodpatcher at some point

09:14:11Lloreanlinuxstb_: I ask this because what you had me test could already probably be useful in the install process, since it would allow us to give users a way to extract their own original firmware file, rather than having to find somewhere to download it from, even if we do have a link to a known good download location.

09:22:48Lloreandan_a: I suppose you wouldn't lose anything allowing it to decrypt.
09:23:17dan_aLlorean: Sansa people have to get the mi4 from somewhere (either the hidden partition or download it) - for H10 it is in the System/ folder already
09:23:41linuxstb_Basically, the idea is that a "sansapatcher" tool would directly modify the firmware in the hidden second partition which is visible in normal UMS mode. It would write the RB bootloader there, and store an unencrypted version of the original firmware in the unused space after the bootloader.
09:24:05Lloreandan_a: Well, with luck we Sansa people won't have to get it from anywhere soon, it'll be readable from the firmware partition (which would require decrypting in the bootloader to work nicely)
09:24:20LloreanOr rewriting of a decrypted one.

09:37:51merwinLlorean: Oh, is that what it is?

09:38:15LloreanBut yeah, the second drive is the MicroSD slot. It shows up if you're in MSC mode

09:59:36voltagexpetur encountered the recently fixed bass distortion also on his h380 :/ <−−−−, a) what is a h380, and b) what's been fixed?
10:00
10:00:01B4gderh380 sounds like a h340 with a replaced hdd
10:00:26bluebrotherb) the volume increased with the bass setting
10:01:38voltagexso there's no more distortion from bass set to 24?
10:02:14Lloreanvoltagex: The bug only existed for a couple days.
10:02:29Lloreanvoltagex: But setting bass to +24, when your volume is over -24, is likely to cause distortion.
10:02:45voltagexLlorean: I've always had bass distortion on a few select songs

10:03:55Lloreanvoltagex: What is the highest gain in those songs, internally? If they go over 0, then there's a high chance of distortion.
10:04:06voltagexLlorean: waaaaaaaay over
10:04:16Shaidwonder if a simple restore under a mac itunes'd do it.

10:04:50ShaidI don't use it for anything important.
10:05:06Lloreanvoltagex: Well, then that's your problem. If you have songs that go over 0dB internally, and then you're adding extra bass to that, you should _expect_ distortion.
10:05:12voltagexok, go for the restore/format using Disk Utility

10:21:18thewhoBTW: I find the parameter semantics of backlight_set_timeout ugly. Why is it an index in some array and not the time in msec? Just to make it usable with menu code?

10:21:53bluebrotherI did? I just feel other solutions to be more natural, at least to me ;-)
10:22:58LinusNthewho: yes, the table index thing is for the settings menu
10:23:42LinusNthewho: however, it could probably be solved differently nowadays
10:24:38thewhoLinusN: that reminds me about a discussion we once had here about the need to change the menu API. That it could/should get a set of pairs "text/value" and find out the right index internally.
10:25:09LinusNwell, we don't need an index
10:26:11thewhoLinusN: even better. But how we'd do it then?
10:26:57amiconnI think the settings menu should offer a list of different backlight settings, but the backlight code in firmware/ should just take a number of seconds
10:27:10amiconn0 would be 'Off' and -1 would be 'On'
10:27:18LinusNamiconn: exactly
10:27:35LinusNthe table should be in the application layer
10:27:50amiconn-1 being 'On' can then even be handled without having a special case, by interpreting it as unsigned

10:32:34webguest45thats where it was before anyways..
10:32:41LinusN:-)
10:33:29linuxstbbarrywardell: I've got no plans to personally add mi4 decryption to the bootloader - but it will probably need to read "plaintext" mi4s. However, I've reimplemented the decryption routine in sansapatcher, so that implementation can be copied into the bootloader if someone wished. However, it's probably worthwhile searching for an ARM implementation of TEA.
10:34:19LinusNwebguest45: out of curiosity, what could be the reason that you missed that info on the front page? did you expect it to be somewhere else?

10:37:05LinusNwebguest45: yes
10:37:38linuxstbbarrywardell: I think it would make sense for everything on the H10/Sansa to be in mi4 files, including the main "rockbox.mi4". So Rolo would simply need to recognise the .mi4 extension, and sansapatcher would only need to deal with mi4 as well.
10:37:55webguest45G5 video 30gb only right?
10:38:02linuxstbAnd 60GB.
10:38:06LinusNactually, i think a separate menu entry, "supported devices" would be helpful

10:50:52linuxstbbarrywardell: Probably just the MODEL_NUMBER value from the config-xxx.h file would be enough - e.g. in the last byte (0x1ff) of the 512-byte header. tools/scramble would need to be modified to add it there when creating the bootloader.mi4 and rockbox.mi4 files.

10:53:23amiconnThere are in fact 2 model numbers, one for the bootloader and one for the core

10:53:27amiconn...which aren't related
10:53:38linuxstbbarrywardell: I think you just need to do "outbuf[0x1ff] = MODEL_NUMBER;" in the mi4_encode() function - somewhere after the memset() that clears outbuf, but before the CRC is calculated.
10:53:49amiconnThe 4-character id string is a better idea imo

11:45:50sneakumsit's a simple matter of programming
11:45:52DataGhostit's the 80GB harddrive which is the problem actually
11:46:04DataGhostyou'll need buffers twice as big
11:46:05sneakumsDataGhost: depends on your point of view :P
11:46:09DataGhostand the caching needs to be adjusted etc
11:46:14*linuxstb clarifies that hfs+ support isn't a problem because Rockbox doesn't support hfs+
11:46:18DataGhostsneakums hm?
11:46:33Shaidlinuxstb: I'm contemplating writing hfs+ support for it.
11:46:47Shaidthat's why I've been wondering how to make my 4g a macpod
11:46:53sneakumsDataGhost: in terms of what the problem is
11:47:18linuxstbShaid: I think the only way is to restore it using itunes on a Mac.
11:47:24Shaidyeah
11:47:26lachlanDataGhost: wow, maybe I should just buy a gigabeat
11:47:38Shaidwhich for me involves digging out a certain osx86 disc I've got around here somewhere...
11:47:42*Shaid looks innocent
11:47:44lachlanbut 40gb is so very pitiful
11:47:49*linuxstb received a gigabeat in the post this morning

11:49:28linuxstbbarrywardell: Maybe some more information would be useful there as well - e.g. something like "RBOS" for main Rockbox, and "RBBL" for a Rockbox bootloader.
11:49:30lachlanhaha can't believe i never thought of it, its all becoming so clear now
11:49:31markunwould it be possible to have a mini-ATA to ZIF adapter?

11:54:41LinusNlachlan: supporting the 80gb is not really a big problem
11:55:03LinusNthe problem is how to do it without breaking the other rockbox platforms
11:55:13lachlanLinusN: excellant. I suppose I will have to learn me some patience in the mean time then.
11:55:35amiconnmarkun: That's good. So an F40 or X40 could be upgraded to 80GB without worrying about sector sizes
11:55:49lachlanI remember reading that you intended to impliment a method that would be logical, but would take a long time to write
11:55:53amiconnThe MK8007GAH works out of the box with rockbox svn
11:55:57lachlanI guess that is the ultimate goal?
11:56:20LinusNlachlan: the goal is to modify the FAT driver so it works on all models
11:56:33lachlanok
11:56:43markunamiconn: ah, what's so different about the ZIF connector?
11:57:58amiconnThe MK8009GAH (zif connector) is what the ipod video 80GB uses. And this hdd has those large physical sector...
11:58:02amiconns
11:58:34markunah, ok
11:58:42amiconn*perhas* it's just a problem of the one in the ipod though (oem model with custom firmware)

12:53:21nlsNico_P: but the more important gain will be from the target specific voice files which will only include clips that are actually used and will hopefully decrease enough so that the big voice improvement patch can be comitted :-)

14:30:33Lloreanpreglow: No.
14:30:46Lloreanpreglow: They have two modes: MSC (UMS for flash devices or something) and MTP
14:30:57nlswow, we actually have an Archos Player user still :-)
14:31:12LloreanMTP of course requires MTP drivers. In windows you can simply drag and drop in Explorer still, and it automatically builds the database while transferring files.
14:31:21markunlooks like JdGordon changed the spanish translation to latin1 encoding..
14:31:31LloreanIn MSC it has to rebuild the database at boot, which can take 10+ minutes for a mere thousand files or so.
14:31:36markunget a normal editor..
14:31:56LinusNnls: my reaction too :-)
14:32:42preglowLlorean: right, got a mate who needs a mp3 player quick, and they've got e250s at a store just around here
14:32:50preglowand he doesn't want any itunes like shit
14:33:03LloreanWell, you don't need any crap software for the retail firmware.
14:33:08cyrnls: so someone has to step out and create a patch... and do it that the committers like it :-)
14:33:13LloreanThough being on windows will be better since you don't have to wait on the database refreshes.
14:33:44preglowLlorean: cool, i'll probably have him rockbox it once he gets back from travelin anyway :>
14:34:18cyr nls: *...do it so that...
14:34:22Lloreanpreglow: As a warning, Rockbox on Sansa is worse than Rockbox on iPod right now. ;)
14:34:24jhMikeSpreglow: the mixer thing turns the whole arrangment on it's head really...but should plug into the current playback.c. I started outlining it but I do have some serious stuff to consider about it. :P
14:35:14nlscyr: there is already a patch http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6718 someone just has to step up and decide if we want this and if so commit it (if the patch is done in the right way)

14:40:52bluebrotherthe only think I consider as a nice addition would be a "Favorites" submenu
14:41:11bluebrotherbut supporting a customizable / reorderable menu will be a support nightmare
14:41:31bluebrotherwith a fixed menu you can always tell users where to go.
14:41:40cyrLinusN: but we could make this feature "not official" and do not describe it in the manual :-) Or make a plugin that will create a defualt up-to-date menu config file
14:41:44bluebrothereven if they mess up their favorites submenu
14:41:57LinusNcyr: that would be even worse, i think

14:45:45nlsI tried to move the string to the global settings struct but it didn't work very well...
14:46:01jhMikeSpreglow: it's the native format storage that gets me...totally backwards from now. Voice can probably be pre-scaled though for savings.
14:46:03bluebrothercyr: that still won't convince me. As I said, a customizable Favorites submenu would be an option IMO

14:53:46Dark_ApostropheGreat
14:53:57Dark_ApostropheCan it play videos?
14:54:15GodEatermpegplayer runs on it quite nicely

14:57:31GodEateror an iPod and run AppleOS

15:58:52linuxstbArathis: Is your video being played in realtime? i.e. if you enable "show fps", does it display the same number you used when encoding the file?
15:58:54linuxstbIf not, then you'll need to re-encode at either a lower resolution, lower framerate, or lower bitrate (or combination of the three)...
15:58:56linuxstb(and enable Limit FPS and Skip Frames in the mpegplayer menu)
15:59:00Siltaarok, I go
15:59:46toffe82on the menu, you have to press enter on the last submenu, why not keeping the right arrow or changing the font to know that you are on the last menu ?
15:59:48Arathislinuxstb: I tried elephants dream from the rockbox wiki encoded for my player in both resolutions

16:00:11linuxstbWhat is your player?

16:00:30Arathisit plays at ~34fps

16:01:03preglowright, right...
16:01:03markuntoffe82: I have no idea what you are talking about. Which right arrow and which last menu?
16:01:22linuxstbArathis: So did you enable the Limit FPS and Skip Frames options?
16:01:43Arathisnope
16:01:50linuxstbIt won't be in sync if it's decoding a 24fps video at 34fps...
16:01:54toffe82markun: when you navigate the menu, you use the right arrow no ?
16:02:15markuntoffe82: yes, I do
16:02:23toffe82markun: but on the last submenu you press enter
16:02:32markunno

16:04:49toffe82I cannot chek now but I will try again
16:05:15markuntoffe82: so you thought right doesn't work to start a song or change a setting?
16:05:35markunOf course in the WPS is does something else
16:05:39linuxstbI've just tested, and right seems to work correctly for me - i.e. it's "select" in menus and settings.
16:05:57markunworks here too
16:06:26Nico_Pmarkun: recsue mode is the emergency usb mode, right ?
16:06:29toffe82strange , I will recheck
16:07:47markunNico_P: yes
16:08:08Nico_Phmm it works... i think when i was testing the new bootloader for LinusN, it didn't work
16:08:29Nico_Pwhich meant i had to revert to the original firmware each time rockbox refused to load
16:08:33Nico_Pa real PITA

16:15:14linuxstbDo you reduce the CPU frequency when in USB disk mode?
16:15:21linuxstbs/Do you/Does rockbox/
16:17:22toffe82I think it is normal that the hd become hot if you use it as an external hd and stream video to your computer because it is spinning constantly
16:18:03toffe82when you look the video elephant dream, it load the file in memory and the hd is not used anymore so it shouldn't heat so much
16:18:20markunlinuxstb: we can't do that, but I don't know if the CPU sleeps
16:18:52linuxstbmarkun: Why can't we do that?
16:19:18markunlinuxstb: various reasons, I hope I remember them all:
16:20:28markunbecause we have the peripheral frequency at 100MHz the CPU frequency must be at at least 2 times that (according to the ARM documentation and the one from our CPU)
16:20:42linuxstbbarrywardell: You made a copy and paste typo with the comments in your mi4.c patch...
16:21:10barrywardelloops, i'll fix that with my next commit
16:21:48markunlinuxstb: hm, maybe we can clock the CPU down to 16.9MHz during USB.. we haven't tried that

17:18:56barrywardelllinuxstb: I have modified the bootloader to accept mi4 files (http://pastebin.ca/394803), but I'm stuck calculating the crc. I can't get a crc that matches what scramble creates. any ideas
17:19:06barrywardell?
17:27:21linuxstbLooking now...
17:28:09barrywardellif it helps, scramble gets a crc of 77dad22b
17:28:29barrywardelland the bootloader gives 66628d59
17:32:00linuxstbbarrywardell: The crc code shouldn't be in common.c - unless it's #ifdef'ed out for targets not using it. It will add to the code-size without reason.

17:46:19barrywardellyep, rockbox still boots fine
17:47:13barrywardellas does the OF
17:48:58linuxstbAnd the original firmware's bootloader still likes these mi4 files that the latest SVN version of scramble creates?
17:49:33 Quit midgey ()
17:50:42barrywardellyes, although according to Bader's site it ignores the checksum if it's a v3 mi4
17:57:02linuxstbAh OK...
18:00
18:00:35barrywardelli'm tempted to just put the regular rockbox checksum at the end of the mi4 header and use that instead. it would keep common.c cleaner too.
18:02:59linuxstbI was thinking the same. But it would be nice to get it working though...
18:05:01linuxstbAh, I think I may see the problem - the checksum is being calculated in mi4.c before the dummy signature is written to offset 0x2f

18:10:40linuxstbI'm not sure...
18:11:04linuxstbWhen I wrote it, I did a lot of tests to make sure it was creating output 100% identical to mi4code.
18:12:13 Quit Siltaar ("Quitte")
18:12:39barrywardellbut if the dummy signature is only written for v3 mi4's and the checksum is only checked for v2, then it's possible that it has been producing mi4s that work, but are not strictly correct
18:13:25linuxstbYes... Maybe testing your bootloader with an original mi4 file would tell us the correct way to calculate the checksum.
18:13:53linuxstbMaybe the CRC should start later in the file - e.g. at offset 0x200

20:04:08JavaMan22is the plugins hard coded into rockbox?
20:04:30Frode_no..
20:04:59JavaMan22then why do i need to compile the whole thing
20:05:05Frode_they are \.rockbox\rocks
20:05:42Frode_delete the rocks if you want. then you will be rockless
20:05:56linuxstbThey are very closely linked. If you compile Rockbox, then change a plugin, then recompile, then only your plugin will be compiled - the build system doesn't recompile everything.
20:06:14JavaMan22ok
20:06:40JavaMan22is there a way to just compile my program alone
20:09:06linuxstbNo.

20:16:10andrewg867what exactly does sansapatcher do? ;p
20:16:11 Part ^h1t
20:16:44linuxstbYou run it, and it installs the Rockbox bootloader directly in the hidden second partition visible in normal UMS mode.
20:16:58andrewg867does any of the rockbox targets have a software volume control?

20:17:17linuxstbIt also stores an unencrypted version of the original firmware mi4 file in that second partition, immediately after the bootloader.
20:18:15andrewg867what I found earler is that even though I turned up the DAC -> Mixer gain to 0x16 (and 0x40 | 0x16) that the sound seems better at 0dB volume (Headphone gain)
20:18:41andrewg867linuxstb: what OSes does it currently run on?

20:23:19linuxstbandrewg867: The command that needs testing is "sansapatcher -a PP5022.mi4" where PP5022.mi4 is a Rockbox bootloader.
20:23:43linuxstbIf you run sansapatcher without any options, it should just try and detect your E200, and tell you some information about it.
20:24:21linuxstbBut be prepared to get e200tool out if it goes wrong... I'm not guaranteeing anything.

22:49:33jhMikeSCPU speed isn't changed during interrupts...unless a UIE occurs
22:49:34amiconn??
22:49:39carpCan some one correct this pls?
22:49:53laviddan_a: okay, pics are up. i got to get going. bye
22:49:57amiconnjhMikeS: UDA/TLV i2c doesn't happen during interrupts
22:50:03dan_alavid: Thank you
22:50:06jhMikeSright
22:50:08 Part lavid
22:51:00amiconn...and afaik the i2c driver yields while waiting for completion of the current byte transfer. While it is doing that, another thread might cause a frequency change
22:51:03jhMikeSIt can't be in the middle of transmitting anything since the driver doesn't during a transfer (nor would it be safe)
22:51:44amiconnWe had problems due to this, that's why LinusN (iirc) disabled MFDR changes
22:51:54carpAll of you very busy?
22:52:19valiantnot me i'm just listening :p
22:53:16amiconnIt was me who changed the i2c speed to be near 400kHz at CPUFREQ_MAX (which isn't officially supported by the 5249). It was only ~100kHz before, leading to a speed of only ~9kHz at CPUFREQ_DEFAULT
22:53:21jhMikeSI would think yielding without completion would be dangerous since another thread could intervene and start something else during the yield. There are no yields in that driver.
22:53:29linuxstbcarp: Thanks, I'll fix it...
22:54:00amiconnBut even with the lower speed there were no significant performance problems
22:54:32amiconnSo there's no real reason to adjust MFDR. It probably causes more problems than it would solve
22:54:34linuxstbcarp: Done.
22:54:53jhMikeStrue, now it's overclock, not complaining, and some slightly lower frequencies have given no difficulties
22:55:33amiconnIt's not strictly overclocked. 400kHz is the specified maximum for i2c
22:55:34jhMikeSIt would never be changed while transferring anything
22:56:26amiconnThe 5249 manual doesn't mention 400kHz at all, and the 5250 manual says that it won't work with too long lines or similar
22:57:27amiconnThis M5L is awesome. Almost 39 hours and still running
22:57:27jhMikeSnot complaining so far for any targets

23:00:00amiconnneither
23:00:23amiconnI have an X5 myself, and pixelma has an M5L
23:01:03linuxstbAh, OK. I thought you ported to an M5.
23:01:41amiconnThe only difference between L and non-L is that the L has a second, larger battery, connected in parallel to the standard one
23:01:43jhMikeSamiconn: I posted a (very rough) patch for x5 ticking in FS #6815. There's build there too. I'd be curious to know how much it helps it out for you (for 124MHz since that's all it covers atm).
23:02:43linuxstbamiconn: Does 100UKP (146 EUR) seem a good price for an M5L (there's one on ebay.co.uk at the moment)...
23:02:48amiconnIt seems there isn't even a way to distinguish L and non-L versions in firmware
23:03:06linuxstb(brand new)
23:04:03linuxstbAh, only a 20GB model...

23:04:25amiconnOne of those is the one sitting on my desk now :)

23:12:11carpnls: what's "delete+"? How can I bring that up?
23:12:44andrewg867where are the sansa GPIO memory addresses defined in the rockbox source?
23:12:45nlsI mean jus try to delete a file and it will ask you "delete?" and tell me what it says to press to confirm
23:12:48jhMikeSpreglow: would you be willing to test a radio patch for TEA5767? It helps with scanning and audio presets for me alot and quiets the radio screen down but I'm curious if it might somehow negatively affect other FM regions or something (probably not).

23:14:44_Amblinvaliant: There's your problem right there, valiant :) The player turns off even after you've plugged the player in.
23:14:47valiantand as I didn't have rockbox, I was using original firmware which of course has no speech access
23:14:48jhMikeSIt definitely works better than x5 OF which can't find station to save it's life.
23:15:42amiconnlinuxstb: In fact I could do "plain M5" runtime tests with the L. The extra battery is easy to disconnect, it's plugged

23:21:34jhMikeSas long as a slight increase there is acceptable

23:21:41LinusNpreglow: you mean the ipod shuffle question? :-P
23:21:50amiconnThat's the reason for CONFIG_TUNER being a bitmask

23:23:23preglowLinusN: right
23:23:59jhMikeSthat condition should be changed
23:24:39dan_aandrewg867: You set the pins using the bits that you write... so GPIOA_OUTPUT_VAL=0x1 sets pin 0 and clears all the others
23:24:42jhMikeShow do we read the Samsung regs anyway? They were "displayed" but only -1 was returned all the time

23:48:24amiconnRadio already worked very well on all targets where I tried it
23:48:25jhMikeSKeeps the FMRadio screen less active and helps with scanning

23:49:15amiconnJust loading .fmr files is quick & simple
23:49:23Moosx5 reception isn't so good in his current state imho
23:49:26linuxstbbluebrother: Why not just make Version and Credits separate options? Or maybe move the version display into "Rockbox Info" ?
23:49:56bluebrotherlinuxstb: I thought about that too, but the Rockbox Info doesn't have enough room (at least on some archos devices)
23:50:30linuxstb"Rockbox Info" seems a bad name for that option - it's more like "System info" in my mind.
23:50:41bluebrotherindeed.

23:51:05bluebrotherbut that screen could be improved IMO. Then it could also hold the version string.

23:51:40amiconnReception is quite good on H300 and X5, but not so good on H1x0
23:51:45nlsBagder: it seems the lang build system matches the h100 build target to h10 specific strings in english.lang when the h10 string comes after the h100 specific one or if the h100 uses the default. see fs#6830
23:51:57BagderI'm looking at that right now

23:53:27roolkuare there any objections to committing http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6831
23:53:30Moossame as jhmikeS here, better reception on my h100 than x5, and IIRC the x5 OF handled better reception
23:53:54amiconnInteresting

23:55:06linuxstbroolku: Personally, I would find that annoying - I do on other devices which do that. If the RTC is wrong, I'll see it on the display, and fix it when I want to.

23:55:33MoosjhMikeS: hehe :)
23:56:00linuxstbroolku: But you're saying that on the gigabeat, turning the battery switch off clears the RTC?
23:56:06roolkufair enough - I just got fed up with having to walk through all the menus to set the time after a restart
23:56:07bluebrothermy mini tends to completely loose power sometimes which also clears the rtc value. I wouldn't like to be required to set it every time
23:56:11roolkulinuxstb: yes
23:56:13jhMikeSthis flipflopping Mono/Stereo is a bit odd though ... months ago this worked so something goofed in resync
23:57:02amiconnroolku: Presetting with the build date sounds like a good idea, but the screen popping up on startup if time isn't set would be very annoying even though it wouldn't happen often

23:58:01andrewg867when i'm playing jewels or some other plugin the audio goes weird, its hard to explain
23:58:46jhMikeSphilips outlines specific procedure for doing it and so I basically implemented that and tuned it a bit
