#rockbox log for 2007-03-19

00:00:22Nico_P...something I know everything about :D
00:00:22Bagderalthough I'm not sure the benefit is that great
00:00:32XavierGrso in order for the while playing screen to show up this "wps compiler" wouldn't have to run?
00:00:47Nico_PBagder: have you looked at my patch ?
00:00:50Bagderits simple, if the wps already are compiled the byte-code is loaded
00:00:57BagderNico_P: nope
00:01:11XavierGrso each wps must have been precompiled to show up?
00:01:14bluebrotherbut it adds a dependency to an external bytecode compiler
00:01:22Bagderyes, or it would first need to be compiled
00:01:26XavierGrcan't say I like the idea
00:01:28Bagderto be able to "run"
00:01:37XavierGrnot KISS imho
00:01:42bluebrotherok, this could be done with a viewer
00:01:44Moossame here
00:01:49bluebrotherlike a theme installer ...
00:02:01*bluebrother remembers his theme installer patch once more ;-)
00:02:07Mooscurrently we even create a wpas on the fly and use it immediatly
00:02:35***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:02:37XavierGrmoos: well with the wps compiler you can still do it, the compiler would be a plugin
00:02:54XavierGrbut I think that compiling wps themes sounds weird
00:02:56Bagderwell, personally I'm for a concept that allows "wps-plugins" that runs instead of the normal wps
00:03:03Moosmore laborious that just open text editor

00:03:12bluebrotherit's at least better than this "compiled skins" idea
00:03:16LloreanBagder: An alternate interpreter that can allow extended tags, basically?
00:03:17XavierGrhehe
00:03:34Juice^we should have a WPS editor, that has some pre-made templates for sizes etc.
00:03:40bluebrotherbut moving functionality out and loading it in a plugin way sounds nice
00:04:01bluebrotherJuice^, not before viewports are implemented ;-)
00:04:07LloreanJuice^: Anyone's free to make one.
00:04:11BagderLlorean: no, even more rough: let the plugin do whatever it wants and offer enough functions and info in the plugin API
00:04:20XavierGrplugins are nice to relieve core from binary size from extras, but not for core features

00:04:25Juice^bluebrother: viewports?? woot :)
00:04:26Moosdidn't we have a WPS creator already?
00:04:49bluebrotherI think there was some VB thingy somewhere in the forums
00:05:01bluebrotherdon't know what happened to that though
00:05:05Moosthat what I remenber too
00:05:21*amiconn has slight problems regarding the player lcd and target tree
00:05:22Bagdercode comes and goes...
00:05:22Nico_PA WPS compiler would allow us to use packaged WPS...
00:05:33bluebrotherIMO the basic wps functionality should be in the core
00:05:43Bagderbluebrother: I agree
00:05:48bluebrotherbut stuff like replaygain tags etc could be external
00:05:48amiconnThe lcd charset is definitely target dependent, but cannot reside in target tree because the sim needs it...
00:06:09bluebrotherthe wps should keep at least conditional images and sublines
00:06:12Nico_Pthe RTC tag should be external !!
00:06:45bluebrotherbtw, do we have a tag for disk activity?
00:06:54pixelmayes
00:06:58Mooswe have
00:07:04bluebrotherit's quite annoying not to see disk activity on the mini as most themes turn of the status bar
00:07:25pixelmacalled "virtual led" %lh - (I believe)
00:07:32bluebrotherbut I guess I need to design my own for the mini ;-)
00:07:41Juice^bluebrother: you could easily modify the theme to include the status bar?
00:07:54bluebrotherJuice^, not if the theme includes graphics
00:08:09Juice^bluebrother: okey
00:08:12bluebrotheras image positions are absolute and would overlap with the status bar
00:08:20bluebrotherwhile the text itself moves down
00:08:23XavierGrpixlema: I did an ondio bb with 900mah batteries, I got 7 hours 40 minutes from it, is that normal?
00:09:02amiconnSounds normal
00:09:17pixelmasounds about right - I get (got :/ ) about the same with my 900mAh rechargeables
00:09:45amiconnSomewhat less than what I got with 900mAh NiMH in a test (9h 3 min)
00:09:59pixelma(just the rechargeables aren't ok anymore)
00:09:59Juice^here, if someone want/need a battery indicator for a wps, its layered in photoshop; http://home.no.net/juice3d/Battery_indicator-juice.psd
00:10:02XavierGrnice to know that my ondio isn't affected by excessive power drain
00:10:45bluebrotherJuice^, my browser can't display photoshop ...
00:10:49 Quit aliask ("Chatzilla 0.9.77 [Firefox 2.0.0.2/0000000000]")
00:11:11Juice^bluebrother: you need to download it .. dont think many browsers can open psd files :p
00:11:48bluebrotherbtw, I had a nice idea for backdrops ... I added the rockbox logo from zezayer in light grey as backdrop to my mini
00:11:57Juice^bluebrother: this is the look: http://home.no.net/juice3d/Battery_indicator-juice.png
00:12:25bluebrotherJuice^, thanks
00:13:03bluebrotherbut I mainly was just curious how it looks ;-)
00:13:08Juice^:)
00:13:17Juice^Think i will make others too..
00:13:20*bluebrother prefers gimp

00:43:05scorchethat is not our software, and as such, we will not support it
00:43:08linuxstbNo - that installer is very out of date now.
00:43:23linuxstbThe official install instructions are very simple.
00:43:34webguest94really? i heard they arn't
00:43:42webguest94maybe i will try it
00:44:08scorchethey used to be much "harder", however, it has gotten easier since then
00:44:11linuxstbThey were hard up to a couple of months ago, but have been greatly simplified now.
00:44:26ShaidI didn't find it that hard really...
00:44:46webguest94where can i find how to install

01:14:12webguest72anyone know anything about shell scripts?
01:14:29webguest72I'm trying to make one that will compile rockbox for my target
01:14:37webguest72my question is...
01:15:24webguest72I run the configure file from the script but want the choices to be put in automaticly
01:15:37webguest72which commands do I put in?
01:15:55webguest72into my shell
01:16:00webguest72so I have like
01:16:17webguest72$tools_dir/configure
01:16:35lImbusI guess you have to pipe in the answers
01:16:44lImbusbut I'm not shellmaster neither
01:16:46webguest72which works fine but when I run the script it still asks for stuff
01:16:49Nico_Psafetydan: have you seen my WPS tokenizer patch ?
01:17:23lImbuswebguest72, easiest is to modify your configure script to not ask for this stuff but simply do the right thing
01:17:38webguest72lImbus: thats right but how do I do that what command
01:17:47Nico_Pwebguest72: echo "11" | ../tools/configure

01:18:10webguest94sorry to bug you guys again but, does the iTunes database converter work? or is it out of date
01:18:23webguest72hmmm
01:18:28safetydanamiconn, I'm not near a compiler unfortunately
01:18:32lImbuswow. I got rbutil to crash

01:19:16webguest72so I would do echo "15" ../tools/configure
01:19:24webguest72for my target
01:19:32Nico_Psafetydan: it's based off your code, so you might find it interesting
01:19:47linuxstb`webguest72: Just do "(echo 20 ; echo N) | ../tools/configure)"
01:19:48Nico_Pwebguest72: you're forgetting the pipe
01:19:49webguest72would I do echo "15 n" for a normal build?

01:20:21webguest72Ok I will give it a try!
01:21:14linuxstbwebguest94: I think it's out of date - but you shouldn't need it, Rockbox can build the database itself from the tags in your audio files.

01:57:49JdGordonand it would probably need a header with the usual version and target id or youll have problems with endiendness if ppl swap these dumps
01:57:59safetydanI always thought the parser could be a plugin like the properties plugin. When you select a WPS, the plugin gets called, which parses the file into the memory format the core needs.
01:58:33JdGordonIt could (should even on certain targets), but if that rck isnt there we have problems...

02:04:06amiconnThat was related to compiling
02:05:32Nico_Pah
02:06:05Nico_Pwell by compiling i just mean parsing and then saving the struct to a file
02:06:25Nico_Pit would avoid having to parse each time
02:06:59safetydan"each time" should only be once per reboot and once per WPS load. Not sure it's worth optimising that for speed.
02:07:12amiconnexactly
02:07:38JdGordonwell yeah, it would be pointless unless the parser was in a rock...
02:07:46Nico_Ptrue. that's what I had in mind while coding anyway
02:07:49linuxstbAnd then you have the caching issues to deal with - i.e. bugs caused by not detecting changes in the WPS correctly.
02:08:09*JdGordon gone
02:08:25safetydanI can't see that putting the parser in a plugin would be that much slower. You've already spun the disk to load the WPS file, so loading the .rock isn't going to slow things down.

02:14:58safetydanamiconn, I'm talking about a plugin that's run once to parse the file into the WPS structs.

02:14:58***Alert Mode level 2
02:14:58amiconnIt's done once on load
02:15:06Nico_Pamiconn: about TSR... the WPS would be parsed at boot time (no problem with that). then if the user runs a tsr plugin and then tries to load a new WPS, we'll tell him he has to choose... it's not a very likely case anyway
02:15:30amiconnAnd how would it load the wps if the plugin is missing?
02:15:38linuxstbI don't think compiling is the main suggestion - it's moving the parsing code (once there is a tokenising parser) into a plugin.
02:15:46Nico_Pamiconn: i'm not talking about compiling anymore... the rock would write the WPS data to the memory and exit
02:15:59safetydanwhat they said :)
02:16:13amiconnlinuxstb: I understand that. Imho both of these ideas are weird
02:16:14linuxstbAnd if plugins/codecs are missing, Rockbox isn't much use... Although hwcodec is different (at the moment)

02:17:29Nico_PI agree with linuxstb. it wasn't my idea but I don't see anything angainst it
02:17:34safetydanlinuxstb, well it's been done once already with the properties plugin which is where I go the idea.
02:17:45webguest29i don't really understand still
02:17:59linuxstbsafetydan: But that's not core functionality - it's just a special viewer plugin.
02:18:03Lloreanwebguest29: What part of what's in the manual don't you understand?
02:18:35Lloreanlinuxstb: The question could be "Is a _customizable_ WPS necessarily something that should be considered core"?
02:18:50safetydanlinuxstb, true. But it's a possible direction for making things more "modular". I have no strong feelings either way.
02:18:50amiconnsafetydan: Unlike wps, file properties aren't core functionality
02:19:01webguest29oh nvm
02:19:07webguest29i understand now
02:19:12LloreanThe core could always have a hardcoded, functional but nongraphical WPS that works no matter what, with customizability dependent upon a plugin.
02:19:37webguest29i thought mine stoped working because the disk kept spinning
02:20:11linuxstbLlorean: You could say the same about the settings, or even the database/file browsers...
02:20:17JdGordonLlorean: no, thats a different discussion....
02:20:25Soapwould offloading "eyecandy" such as graphical WPSs to plugins allow a "soft forking" of HW and SWCODEC targets?
02:21:00JdGordonthe core would still draw the wps so every token would be handled by the core... the thing thats being moved to a rock is just the parsing code to save bin space
02:21:03amiconnhwcodec does have graphical wps
02:21:30pixelmagah... now that forking idea again - thought it should be unified more
02:21:33amiconnAnd I am firmly against a fork (and I guess at least linuxstb thinks the same)
02:21:58Lloreanlinuxstb: Well it's just a point along what's already being said. WPS is definitely core. Graphical/customizable WPSes, not necessarily. So why not put the minimum amount of code in the core to allow customizable WPSes, and the parseing and anything else in the plugin?
02:22:02linuxstbYes, I've always been against a fork (even before the av300)
02:22:43Soapthat's why I said "soft fork" - let the 16bit screens have their eyecandy - but let them have it partitioned off outside core.
02:22:49pixelmaI don't know dividing that code into two parts sounds complicated to me
02:23:11Soap(or even people with 16 bit targets can choose not to have such bloat in their core)

02:27:48LloreanThe 2mb RAM devices are providing a lot of stumbling blocks, and while they definitely should still be supported and benefit from advancement, something needs to be come up with.
02:28:13*amiconn again reminds of the iFP7xx
02:28:24LloreanThat one's even worse. :)
02:28:32LloreanI'm actually thinking of Voice right now.
02:28:59LloreanThe act of even adding more strings makes voice harder to fit on any of the low RAM targets, right?
02:29:05amiconnlangv2 rework is being worked on
02:29:16pixelmavoice will definitely get better with langV2 and target specific voice files
02:29:24amiconnThen every target will only have those voice strings it actually uses
02:29:34LloreanBut that's just a stopgap if Rockbox keeps expanding, right?
02:29:41amiconnNo it's not
02:30:08amiconn*many* voice strings from swcodec don't apply to hwcodec, and never will
02:30:45amiconneq, crossfade, crossfeed, ...
02:30:45LloreanBut that doesn't mean that the HWCodec won't hit its voice file limit again at some point. It just means it's a good distance off again.
02:30:55amiconnWhy?
02:31:06pixelmaand many voice strings for color screens won't apply to mono screens etc.
02:31:19amiconnDo you think there will be new features for hwcodec which will require that many new clips?
02:31:58amiconnI *can* think of a couple of features, but those will require only few clips, or none at all
02:32:32LloreanI just don't think there's a guarantee that the voice files on hwcodec will stay below a certain size.
02:32:34LloreanOr on the iFP
02:33:23amiconnLlorean: One problem on low-ram targets atm is that adding language strings and voice clips expands all targets (both core and voice file), including those which will never be used on certain targets
02:33:37mentlinuxstb: another idea - do you think it's possible to steal a button from keyboard controller and use it as a sort of very lowspeed serial line? (eg multiplexer for a larger keyboard)

02:41:16Lloreansafetydan: Not "progressive scan", progressive jpegs.

02:42:20safetydanLlorean, mistype on my part :) I'm familiar with progressive jpegs, just surprised it's not support.
02:42:53amiconnIt requires a rather different decoder
02:43:09safetydanNow someone just needs to port dcraw to Rockbox and you can treat it as your photo storage system.
02:44:55pixelmaNico_P: even though the langV2 cleanup decreases bin size a lot, it doesn't help completely for _rombox_ but will also help for the future. Also I think a second thought would always be worth it in this case (maybe even high mem targets could benefit too) ;)

03:04:05pixelma?
03:04:12amiconnNico_P: check apps/rockbox.bin
03:04:20amiconn(in the build dir)
03:04:38amiconnFor Ondio FM, checking ajbrec.ajz also works
03:04:41Nico_P:)
03:05:09amiconnThat works for all archos targets except the recorder v1, where ajbrec.ajz is already self-extracting
03:05:26amiconnrockbox.ucl is compressed, and its size not *that* interesting

03:21:36 Quit Thundercloud (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
03:22:21Lloreanletmomsleep: Depends on your definition of 'full-featured'
03:22:29LloreanMany people want things that Rockbox simply doesn't offer at this time
03:22:51letmomsleepwell, i currently have a h340
03:23:01letmomsleepwith rockbox, of course
03:23:14letmomsleepdo they share the same featureset?
03:23:18LloreanWell, I don't believe the radio works on the H10 yet.
03:23:34LloreanAnd Rockbox doesn't have its own USB mode, you have to depend on the iRiver software for that right now.
03:23:41LloreanBut it's almost entirely the same, really
03:24:16letmomsleepdo you think its worth it to upgrade?
03:24:30LloreanI don't consider an H10 an upgrade from an H340

03:25:20letmomsleepis rockbox currently working on the ipod 5g?
03:25:44letmomsleepmy h340 is gigantic, and i'm looking for something smaller
03:25:48Lloreanletmomsleep: The 5G yes, and the 30gb 5.5G, but not the 80gb 5.5G
03:25:55letmomsleepok
03:26:01letmomsleepi've been out of the game for a while
03:26:15safetydanz0de, it shouldn't need anything else. The MPEG player plugin ships as part of Rockbox
03:26:16LloreanDo you use recording or FM Radio?
03:26:20letmomsleepno
03:26:25Lloreanletmomsleep: Gigabeat F40
03:26:48LloreanWell, it still may be big for your tastes, but it's smaller than the H120, which is smaller than the H340.
03:27:27 Quit johnzorn (Connection timed out)
03:27:38letmomsleepi'll look into it!
03:27:55letmomsleepthe gigabeat s30 is out of the question, though?
03:28:33LloreanFor now, yes.
03:29:18LloreanBut all of the PortalPlayers shouldn't be viewed as comparable to the H300 series. That's the iPods, the H10, and the Sansa.
03:29:42LloreanBecause of the lack of hardware documentation, we've got a lot of stumbling blocks. Rockbox is a bit slow on them, and the battery life is generally poor.
03:30:20letmomsleepi see
03:35:59letmomsleepit's frustrating because all of the competing players lack the ipod's size
03:36:44LloreanI'd rather my player be shorter or less wide than have less depth, honestly.
03:36:56 Quit efyx (Remote closed the connection)
03:37:30letmomsleepi'm exactly the opposite
03:39:31LloreanMaking it thinner makes it fit in a pocket better, sure, fine.
03:39:50LloreanBut my pockets fit the a TI-89 with plenty of room to spare. A modern MP3 player is nothing.
03:40:18letmomsleepah well
03:40:34LloreanI like being my MP3 player to have a little heft to it, but also to be able to easily fit in a cup holder, or hand hold, or wherever I need to wedge it.
03:40:42letmomsleepwhile i'm here, i might as well ask about the slow navigation on my h340
03:41:25LloreanThat's a vague question. Is this "Navigation suddenly started being slow" or "It's always slow but I've never asked" or even "It's slow in the filetree, but not in the menus"?
03:41:48letmomsleepit's only slow in the filetree
03:41:51letmomsleepit didn't used to happen
03:42:01letmomsleepi believe i upgraded to a new version
03:42:34LloreanSlow while scrolling up and down lists, or delays when you try to go into folders?
03:43:14letmomsleepdelays when moving in and out of folders (ie pressing left and right)
03:44:20LloreanCheck up on the Dircache option
03:44:32LloreanIt should solve that problem, and if you've used it previously, it may have become disabled somehow
03:44:42letmomsleepi think i have it on
03:45:02LloreanTry disabling it, shutting down, starting back up again, enabling it, and doing the same.
03:47:55letmomsleepdoes the f40 build happen to support video?
03:48:54LloreanAs much as any other build does
03:49:05letmomsleepok
03:49:11letmomsleepoh! that's the issue!
03:49:21letmomsleepi didn't have dircache on, i had database on

07:08:44Bawitdabaipod is just way to fawking expensive
07:08:45Alias777than every iPod
07:08:52Alias777CVM 30GB = 159
07:08:53Bawitdabalike $400 by the time u get a charger and shit
07:09:01Alias777ipod 30GB = 250 without charger and eveyrthing
07:09:14Alias777the choice is clear my brothers

09:00:08B4gderanyone knows about the sansapatch status?
09:00:22B4gderI brought my sansa to work today and thought I'd try it out
09:01:04B4gdersansapatcher even
09:01:46*LinusN figures B4gder will soon try one of the recovery modes
09:02:14B4gderhaha, yeah it is about time I get to face them really good myself
09:02:43JdGordonsansapatcher wprks reat
09:02:53B4gdergoodie
09:02:57JdGordonbut OF detection in the hidden parition isnt perfect
09:03:04JdGordonso make sure you have an OF.mi4/bin
09:03:10B4gderaha
09:03:33JdGordondoes e200tool give us access to the hard disk without the OF?
09:03:49B4gderthere is no hard disk ;-)
09:04:03*JdGordon wants to figure out what is being set by the OF that it knows to rebuild its db
09:04:10JdGordonbah, memory....
09:04:35B4gderhehe, but no the e200tool only fiddles with ram memory. I think.
09:05:05JdGordoncan I use rb to dump the hidden partition?
09:05:30B4gderno
09:05:36B4gderuse dd under linux
09:06:05JdGordonno good... can only get to usb once the OF finishes rebuilding its db...
09:06:11JdGordonso no way to see what changes
09:06:24B4gdertrue
09:06:35B4gderbut the usb mode is made in software
09:06:46B4gderit could easily just set a flag in ram whenver something is written to it
09:07:20JdGordonin nvram?
09:07:23B4gderI think the key here is rather to not run the OF ;-)
09:07:40JdGordonof course.... but the only way to get usb atm is through it
09:07:50B4gderyeah
09:08:16B4gderyou tried if uploading music with different extensions also make it re-index?
09:08:38B4gdernot that it would help much anyway
09:08:41JdGordonIm pretty sure it will rebuild every time usb is disconnected
09:09:34B4gderyeah, it probably just remembers that anything has been modified on the nand

09:10:40*JdGordon does not like it not going verbose mode when booting the OF
09:10:59B4gderwasn't that fixed?
09:11:17JdGordonI emailed barry about that and he disagreed
09:11:22B4gderah
09:11:30JdGordonjust mounting the drive is enough to trigger a rebuild.. no nand changes
09:11:43B4gderhaha
09:13:15JdGordoncan the nvram be dumped in rb?
09:13:38B4gderyou can of course write a plugin to do whatever you want
09:14:06JdGordondo you know what address that ram is at?
09:14:22B4gderwhat memory are you referring to when you say nvram?
09:14:51JdGordonany ram that isnt the nand..?

09:15:35B4gderthe 2GB is the nand flash
09:15:48B4gderand we access that as a fat file system, the same way the OF does
09:15:53JdGordonyeah.. is there other non volatire ram in it?
09:16:13B4gderthere is another (nor) flash
09:16:33B4gderbut I'm not sure at what address it is
09:16:55B4gderI would expect the pre-bootloader to be in that flash
09:17:40B4gdersandisk chips even, and it shows how much SanDisk "cooperates" with us when they can't even give us docs on them...
09:19:01B4gderwould you happen to know what the problem is with the "detection" of the OF in the hidden partition?
09:19:13JdGordonchecksum error
09:19:21JdGordonit doesnt happen everytime..
09:19:21B4gderoh

09:31:03daniel1234so how would I find my compiled build
09:31:13scorcheyou can access it in windows by typing \\debian\user in windows explorer

09:35:14daniel1234so when I type make zip can I find the zipped compiled rockbox in windows explorer somewhere
09:35:34scorchein the network samba share
09:36:04scorchein otherwords, "\\debian\user\build directory"
09:37:46daniel1234I type it in to run and I get an error that it can't find it
09:38:02JdGordonis a 262Kb buffer too large for the bootloader?
09:38:03LinusNjhMikeS: that's what we get when trying to make the scheduler smart and introducing thread priorities. If you want even more problems, add dynamic memory to the mix. :-)
09:38:14JdGordoni mean doing a char buffer[512*512]; ?
09:38:36LinusNthe bootloader can use as much memory as it wants to

09:50:26jhMikeSSlasheri: you kept the sync_queue stuff light, right? it's meant to have practically no overhead for queues that don't need it...and even for ones that do.
09:51:07jhMikeSI suppose I can just make that timeout reasonable that filter the timout messages for the moment
09:51:16jhMikeSand filter*
09:51:50JdGordonthewho: its more good luck that they are the same value... either way the old behavious was that after usb you would be put back in the file browser.. so going to root is the same

09:52:30SlasherijhMikeS: yes, synchronous queues are now core-wise thread safe
09:52:45Slasheriand it's even lighter as it was =)
09:52:46*JdGordon also realised he put his code before the OF part which means im fucked :p

10:42:01daniel1234how do I get in to windows and leve the vmware image running
10:42:30linuxstbdaniel1234: vmware is a virtual computer - think of it as having two computers on your desk - one running Windows, and another running Linux. The only way one of those computers can access the files on the other is via the network, and for that to work, both computers need to be running.

11:01:59linuxstbSlightly off-topic, but my girlfriend runs Linux in vmware, and I found that exporting the Windows drive via the Cygwin NFS server to be a much more reliable way of sharing files than samba. This also means the files live on your Windows drive, so are available without vmware running.

11:02:52linuxstb(but this will of course slow down Rockbox builds to cygwin levels, so isn't helpful in a Rockbox context)
11:03:02amiconnThe specs then say: "Because some host systems may not read the Status register and clear the interrupt pending, a device may automatically release INTRQ and enter Sleep mode after a vendor specific time period of not less than 2 s."
11:03:16amiconn*may*, not *should* or even *must*

11:04:20amiconnThe coldfire targets all do hw ata poweroff, and I suspect the mini's microdrive auto-sleeps
11:06:54amiconnThis can only be tested easily by measuring the current consumption of the target

12:02:20linuxstbbarrywardell: Is the UDC_ENDPOINTLISTADDR problem easy to fix?
12:02:34toni1barrywardell: and copy the content at each lcd_update, which takes 3ms/update (25MB/sec DRAM speed)

12:06:32JdGordonbarrywardell: removing the lcd_init works fine, but causes a nasty "freeze" when booting the OF which is why i tihnk we should enable verbose mode tere

12:22:57Snowbornefigure I'll wait a couple of months longer and check again :P
12:23:25SnowborneDont wanna brick it with an uncomplete build that in reality wont change much at all
12:23:39 Part toni1
12:23:47barrywardellJdGordon: yes. it could do, although I'm not sure at what stage the OF writes to the address. it's probably after disconnecting the usb so too late for sansapatcher.
12:24:06barrywardellJdGordon: i have a patch for disabling it in the bl if you want
12:24:25JdGordonthats even better :)
12:24:48JdGordonthats bassically what all this dumpin was for.. I assumed noone had checked for that yet :p
12:25:05barrywardellhttp://pastebin.ca/401443
12:25:25barrywardellJdGordon: I only checked it last night after reading your email
12:25:49JdGordonhave a nice st pats day btw?
12:26:09JdGordondoes the mi4 filename matter in recovery mode? or just the extension?
12:26:23barrywardellhaha, yeah
12:26:50barrywardellit depends on your firmware version. it should be either PP5022.mi4 or firmware.mi4 IIRC
12:27:19barrywardelldid you see that I think I figured out the problem you were having with usb and the checksum?
12:27:36JdGordonno, was it a big problem?
12:28:05JdGordonI mean, hard to find?
12:28:10barrywardellI haven't solved it yet.
12:28:26JdGordonoh, but you think you found it? :)
12:28:35barrywardellbasically what happens is UDC_ENDPOINTLISTADDR gets reset to 0x0 when you plug in usb
12:29:01barrywardellthat should be the address of the usb endpoint data structure
12:29:09barrywardellso the usb controller probably overwrites it
12:30:13JdGordondo we really need to check the checksum? worst case is the image is stuffed so you need to reboot?
12:30:45linuxstbI think it's good to tell the user that the image is corrupt.
12:31:08barrywardelland also we'll be running random code - who knows what that could do!
12:31:14linuxstbObviously, any bugs causing false-positives need to be fixed.
12:31:43barrywardelllinuxstb: i don't know if it is actually a false positive though
12:32:02barrywardellif my theore is correct, then the image really is different
12:32:09barrywardelltheory*
12:32:21linuxstbYou mean the image in RAM, rather than the image on disk?
12:33:14JdGordonthe db rebuild hack didnt work :(
12:33:25JdGordonbut the OF booted from the partiion first go
12:33:34JdGordonfirst go after rb tho...
12:34:15barrywardelllinuxstb: yesh
12:34:45barrywardellthe image on disk is fine. i'm just checking now if the image in ram is different...
12:35:20barrywardellJdGordon: no?
12:35:32JdGordonyeah, didnt work...
12:35:47barrywardellJdGordon: also, I think if you just add a delay before loading the OF it should boot from the partition first go

15:02:04JdGordoni was about to goto bed, but ill stick around for a bit longer
15:03:23JdGordonone thing I dont like about this hack is that its a bit annoying if you actually want it to rebuild your database
15:04:27barrywardellIs it necessary to check the usb 5 times?
15:04:40JdGordonyou mean in the loop?
15:04:48barrywardellyes
15:04:56barrywardellshouldn't it only need to be done once?
15:05:19barrywardelland what do you think about enabling verbose boot whenever any button is pressed?
15:05:24JdGordonit needs a pause there for some reason, and I didnt know what it was.. checking 3 times failed, and 10 was a bit long
15:05:44barrywardelldoes it work if you just add sleep() instead?
15:05:55JdGordonhow long a sleep tho?
15:06:24barrywardellI'm not sure.
15:06:31linuxstbbarrywardell: I like that idea - there's a similar problem on the ipods, with the apple_os being loaded from either the partition of a file, so it's nice to tell users which one is happening.

16:58:51toffe82I have one question about the dircache on rockbox, I validate it and in the manual it says : "Thereafter, the directory cache will work in the background"but each time I switch on and off, I have to wait that it finish scanning the disk ?also when I disconnect from the usb
16:58:52toffe82is this normal ?

17:00:05Lloreantoffe82: Yes. Most of the work is in the background, but at boot it can't know if you used USB outside of Rockbox (booting the original firmware for example), and in USB, since it's not software controlled, it can't know what files you put on until it scans.
17:00:41markunamiconn: sorry, can't test your patch right now. Here are some sample files if you want: http://www.pvv.org/~thomj/rockbox/speex/

17:06:54toffe82and just let the dircach on disconnect usb

17:10:17Lloreantoffe82: Is it doing a full, slow scan every boot?
17:10:35toffe82Llorean: yes
17:10:39LloreanOh, that's not right.
17:11:06toffe82I don't know if it is full but it take at least 5 seconds
17:11:21toffe82on the gigabeat F40
17:11:32toffe82perhaps more
17:11:42LloreanI have an F40 too, and don't get any delay in booting.
17:11:47GodEatertoffe82: that's definitely not right - I have it switched on on my F40 too - and have no such symptoms
17:12:07nlsamiconn: would doing just a lcd_bitmap_transparent_part be noticably faster than doing "set drawmode, lcd_bitmap_part, set drawmode, lcd_bitmap_mono" ? with the transparent bitmap equal size in pixels as the mono but slightly larger than the native used in ordinary bitmap_part?
17:12:07GodEatertoffe82: which build are you on ?
17:12:13toffe82you don't have a screen saying scanning disk at the boot ?
17:12:17Lloreantoffe82: No.
17:12:34Lloreantoffe82: Have you checked in the debug menu to make sure your dircache is actually active and healthy?
17:12:52toffe82I have to check
17:13:27amiconnnls: ??
17:13:34nlstoffe82: there's a bug that will (or used to?) cause that if there were a very large amount of files on the disk
17:13:47nlsamiconn like the drawing in the bubbles plugin
17:13:54toffe82I don't think I have too much files
17:14:10GodEaterI've got 7.5K files on mine - seems to work fine
17:14:28nlsfirst a color bubble is drawn with drmode_solid, then a ring around it as a mono bitmap with drmode_fg
17:14:34GodEaterit takes about 25 seconds to do the scan - but it's *definitely* happening in the background, you can only see it if you go into the debug menu
17:15:58nlsamiconn: I wonder if combining the two bitmaps into one and only doing one draw as well as removing the need to change drawmode will be faster if a transparent bitmap is used
17:17:01toffe82GodEater: correction : I have a lot of files (83000), I use it as an exteranl hd...music and Rockbox is only 2720 files
17:17:22Llorean toffe82: Well, dircache is *all* files, not just music/rockbox files.
17:17:25GodEater83,000 is quite a few file I'd say :)

17:18:32XavierGrwith that ammount of files probably the dircache file would be insanely big
17:18:49LloreanXavierGr: Or simply failing.
17:18:51linuxstb_toffe82: If you go into the Rockbox info screen, how big is your audio buffer?
17:18:53XavierGrexactly
17:19:01nlslinuxstb_: I think that's the problem, the dircashe is limited to about 6 megs and when the cashe doesn't fit, it will scan on every boot
17:19:12toffe82I have to check, cannot do it now
17:19:30amiconnnls: Ah, that one. I'm not so sure lcd_transparent_bitmap will be faster, because lcd_bitmap(_part) can use optimisations which the transparent version cannot do
17:20:19toffe82so why don't we organize rockbox in folders : one for rockbox, one for music and one for video so we don't check outside thes folder
17:20:23amiconnIt would be easier to read, but since greyscale targets don't have lcd_transparent_bitmap (yet), it would mean more ifdefing
17:20:23nlsamiconn: ah, ok, I will not change it anyway because the greyscale targets don't seem to be able to draw native bitmaps with transparency...
17:20:52 Part Llorean
17:20:57amiconnSame goes for mono targets. This will change soon(ish) though
17:21:03linuxstb_toffe82: You could repartition...
17:21:24GodEateryeah, re-partitioning is a much better idea
17:21:26toffe82linuxstb_: rockbox see only one partition ?
17:21:35GodEaterotherwise we'd have to re-educate an awful lot of users
17:21:38amiconnYes, unless you enable multivolume support
17:21:47nlsamiconn: but mono tagets can draw mono bitmaps with white as transparent, can't they?

18:47:56mattzzI think one is the battery voltage and the other one behind the buck up converter, right?
18:48:07andrewg867the other page has the charger indication right?
18:48:22mattzzandrewg867: IIRC yes
18:48:46preglowhmm, think i like the wps preprocessor plugin idea a bit :>
18:48:50mattzzLlorean: you would not recommend backlight for faster power draining?
18:48:54andrewg867the graph one for me says 3.95v, and the other is 3.92v
18:50:12mattzzI had 2,4V on the one screen and 3,1V on the graphical screen just befor low-power-shutdown
18:50:42mattzzxandl12: thanks for the numbers
18:51:14barrywardellthe I/O ports debug screen gives the actual value read from the adc
18:51:20amiconn2,4V sounds really low for Li batteries
18:51:32amiconnIs that LiIon or LiPo?

18:52:34mattzzThe toshiba gigabeat has 3,4V for low power shutdown
18:52:43amiconnThe archos fm/v2 had LiIon
18:52:48barrywardellthe value from the adc is the reading passed through a 1/5 voltage and scaled by 2.5
18:52:55amiconnLiIon can obviously go lower than LiPo
18:53:12barrywardellLiIon is 3.7V when fully charged
18:53:24markunI thought 4.2
18:53:33amiconnH1x0, H300 X5, M5 and ipods can only go down to 3.3 ... 3.5V

18:54:14amiconnNominal voltage (for both) is 3.6V or 3.7V
18:54:32mattzzyep
18:54:40markuncan you charge both batteries with the same charger?
18:55:12barrywardellthe sansa battery is labelled as 3.7V. maybe that is referring to the nominal volatge

18:58:01LloreanOgMaciel: Are you using the same version of iPodPatcher that you backed it up with? You haven't downloaded a newer one since then?
18:58:36OgMacielLlorean: I actually tried both approaches
18:58:41OgMacielLlorean: original and new
18:58:51barrywardellmattzz: the battery source is fed into a 1/5 voltage divider and then amplified by 2.5
18:59:21LloreanOgMaciel: What do you mean by "original?" What version number?
18:59:40barrywardellso I think the values read by the adc (eg. in the i/o ports debug screen) are 2.5/5 * actual voltage
19:00
19:00:03OgMacielLlorean: I meant the original version of the ipodpatcher I had used when creating the partition

19:01:12linuxstbWhat operating system are you using?
19:01:28linuxstbAnd what did you do to necessitate a restore?
19:01:40OgMaciellinuxstb: foresight linux
19:01:53OgMaciellinuxstb: I wanted to remove rockbox for the time being
19:02:16linuxstbThen just running ipodpatcher and selecting "u" for uninstall would do it.
19:02:30mattzzbarrywardell: so ADC_BVDD reading 0x3f means what?
19:02:39OgMaciellinuxstb: I did remove the rockbox loader... that was not the problem
19:02:56OgMaciellinuxstb: I wanted to restore the backed up boot partition
19:03:14OgMaciellinuxstb: whih I just successfully did now ;)
19:03:18OgMacielwhich
19:04:12*mattzz thinks debug_menu.c has to be fixed
19:06:45barrywardellmattzz: 0x3f would be 0.31 volts
19:06:45barrywardellthat doesn't sound right though
19:06:48*amiconn compiles a H300 build without disk poweroff in order to verify his theory about ata_sleep
19:07:04mattzzbarrywardell: sorry I meant 0x3ff
19:07:17mattzzgnaargh
19:07:29barrywardellthat's what I was thinking. 0x3ff=5.12V
19:07:47xandl12i opened up my sansa and on the battery "Li-ion Battery 3,7V" ...if that helps :-)
19:08:14barrywardellthe adc reading goes in 5mV steps from 0-5.12V
19:09:04mattzzbarrywardell: I we say that the charging circuit stop charging when 4,2V are reached

20:25:33bluebrotherso it's an old issue?
20:25:38linuxstbThat's not a "BUTTON_" define - you call the button_hold() function to find out if the hold switch is on or off.
20:25:47JavaMan22oh
20:25:50JavaMan22:)
20:25:59toni1barrywardell: I think I know the reason for the bootup problem on sansa.

20:30:32JavaMan22where ??
20:30:34pixelmabut not on colour targets
20:30:40barrywardelltoni1: even better! so no more flash of blue first?

20:32:28Mooshehe :)
20:32:29amiconnBut contrast doesn't really make sense for colour displays. Setting a non-default contrast just makes the colours look wrong
20:32:48JavaMan22id rather have that than to lose battery quickly

20:39:27JavaMan22or is that contrast

21:12:33Nico_Pbluebrother: maybe several checkboxes : "i've read the guidelines", "i've made sure i'm not reporting an already existing task", "i've asked myself if the feature i'm asking for is useful/doable"
21:12:35linuxstbLethanialist: Don't you mean "how well mpegplayer runs on a nano" ?
21:12:55LloreanLethanialist: It won't be. It's just simulating the user interface, it doesn't emulate the hardware, so there's no reason for performance to even be remotely similar.

21:25:56linuxstbFor the bootloaders, the names are generally fixed by the native bootloader.
21:27:30bluebrotheryes, but for ipodpatcher (and later sansapatcher) we would need to add a couple of links to the manual for each platform we have binaries

21:35:39nlsit's not supported
21:35:40demian79but I cant find it
21:35:47demian79ouch
21:35:52bluebrotherthe supported players are listed on the frontpage
21:36:00bluebrotherand that list is up to date.
21:36:10demian79do you know of any other open firmware that might help me
21:36:13demian79?
21:36:15bluebrotheryou might want to look in the "new ports" forums
21:36:27bluebrotherbut I highly doubt there is anything about it.
21:36:34demian79ok, I'll do that
21:36:46GodEaterand as far as I'm aware, we're the only alternative firmware out there, other than archopen
21:36:46demian79any other suggestion?
21:36:50bluebrotherbtw, where did you read that you can "find a firmware in rockbox" for that player?
21:37:20bluebrother(rockbox is a firmware, you can't find one "in" Rockbox ;-)

22:13:59preglowhmm, with the wps preparser plugin, bitmap files could also be packed together to a single file in the correct order
22:17:19linuxstbDidn't Slasheri implement bitmap caching once, which was subsequently removed?
22:17:27linuxstbThat sounds like the same thing.
22:17:28bluebrotheryes.

22:22:28Lloreanpreglow: Why not have the plugin parse every time a .wps is loaded, and give parsed WPSes a different extension? Is there some reason we'd want to save parsed WPSes outside of the "Current WPS" and any pre-parsed WPSes we might provide with Rockbox?
22:23:16preglownone that i can think of
22:23:41preglowbut i really think we should consider the bitmap issue at the same time if we're gonna do anything like pre-parsing wpses
22:23:47LloreanYeah
22:23:52Nico_PI agree
22:24:09Nico_PLlorean: i answered to your mail, it should arrive soon
22:24:17LloreanBut at that point all you need to do is say "If a WPS is modified, it must be reloaded"
22:24:17preglowand i pretty much think pre-parsing wpses is a good idea, as long as it can be done without the user/wps developer being too hassled by it

22:24:29Nico_Ppreglow: what was bitmap cache about ?
22:24:42bluebrotherthy not use a packaged file format initially like tar?
22:24:44preglowNico_P: it just dumped the loaded bitmaps to one huge files when loaded
22:24:46LloreanSince the post-parse WPS is stored as a separate file for quick loading on boot, you shouldn't ever get errors in the images since the WPS won't change at all until reloaded.
22:24:53preglowNico_P: but it didn't notice if bitmaps were changed
22:24:53bluebrother*why
22:24:58NHeal(timeout) kornbluth.freenode.net irc.freenode.net
22:25:14preglowLlorean: how do we easily detect if a wps is changed, though?
22:25:19Lloreanpreglow: We don't.
22:25:31bluebrotherthen we could simply save indexes for the bitmaps
22:25:31preglowLlorean: so we force manual reload?
22:25:43preglowLlorean: not a big problem, i suppose
22:25:56Lloreanpreglow: I don't see forcing a manual reload if they consciously changed the WPS that big of a deal.
22:26:08linuxstbWhat about WPSs distributed with Rockbox?
22:26:13Lloreanlinuxstb: pre-parsed.
22:26:21LloreanThat way they can be loaded by the core, no plugin.
22:26:24preglowLlorean: me neither, i suppose. mainly just seeing this from a wps creator's perspective, but even there it shouldn't be much of a bother, i guess
22:26:43Lloreanlinuxstb: We can include the source .wps file and .bmp images in the wiki and of course they'll be in the source.
22:27:11Lloreanpreglow: Since WPSes and/or themes can be in the root anyway, they can make it as little as two button presses from boot to re-load the .wps

22:28:47 Quit Thundercloud__ (Success)
22:29:10preglowi really don't see anything wrong in core depending on a plugin for wps parsing anyway
22:29:18preglowthe disk access is already there, loading the plugin should be fast
22:29:22BagderI'm starting to like the pre-parsed/byte-compiled idea
22:29:34preglowBagder: it does grow on you ;)
22:29:38Lloreanpreglow: It's the idea of Rockbox not being able to use ANY WPSes if the plugin is absent or outdated that is the problem.
22:29:45LloreanPlugin API changes don't coincide with codec changes.
22:30:03preglowif you have an outdated wps parser plugin, you haven't installed rockbox correctly
22:30:25Lloreanpreglow: Yes, but you could still have a Rockbox that can play music. Someone made a stupid mistake before a long trip, for example, and got lucky.
22:30:38preglowsure, more robustness is good
22:30:47preglowbut storing them preparsed makes it a non-issue anyway
22:30:54LloreanIndeed
22:31:06linuxstbpreglow: My only worry is that if more and more core functionality is in plugins, or uses the plugin buffer, then we're limiting the flexibility of Rockbox. e.g. TSR plugins will no longer be as useful.
22:31:10LloreanThat was the point of that idea. :) I know there's at least someone who feels strongly about the aforementioned dependency on the plugin. ;)
22:31:21preglowlinuxstb: yeah, the last especially is one of the only concerns i can see
22:31:39preglowlinuxstb: but in this case, at least, the plugin shouldn't be called too often
22:31:45preglowletting tsr plugs do their thing
22:33:04Nico_Pif the wps are preparsed files, the plugin shouldn't need to be used that often anyway
22:33:12preglowindeed
22:33:20linuxstbAnd rbutil could parse them...
22:33:22preglowpeople should distribute them preparsed
22:33:40preglowi don't think creating one preparsed format for all targets should be impossible

22:34:16LloreanThe parser plugin would really only exist for easy use while designing WPSes, or for people who wanted to distribute WPSes that can be modified on-player
22:34:18bluebrotherhow should this binary format look like?
22:34:18Nico_Pah, endianness... forgot about that for a sec
22:34:38linuxstbpreglow: Bitmaps should be converted to the native LCD format, so there is one difference (e.g. ipod greyscale and H1x0 LCDs are same size/depth but different format)
22:34:40preglowNico_P: do we need values higher than 256? :>
22:34:47BagderNico_P: we could use a fixed endianess for the format
22:35:01preglowlinuxstb: hrm, true, but not much of a problem anyway, if you ask me. wpses are already target specific
22:35:23Bagderah yes
22:35:26Nico_Ppreglow: not quite sure... would the bin file be a simple memory dump of the wps_data struct ?
22:35:41preglowNico_P: can't help you there, i haven't ever touched the wps code
22:35:46linuxstbBut that was my example - a WPS in the current form can be distributed to work on all targets with same lcd size/depth, but a binary format would extend that to LCD framebuffer format.
22:35:47preglowi just enjoy talking about it, apparently...
22:35:57Lloreanlinuxstb: Converting the bitmaps doesn't have to be part of the parsing. They could just be concatenated in the file, and converted by the final load still.
22:36:18Nico_Ppreglow: i'm comfortable with the wps code, just not so much with the bin file concept
22:37:07 Join amiconn_ [0] (n=jens@rockbox/developer/amiconn)
22:37:24linuxstbLlorean: I think we should go all the way and store bitmaps in the native LCD format, even if that means very slightly less portability. As preglow says, WPSs are almost target-specific already.
22:37:57 Join JdGordon [0] (n=jonno@rockbox/developer/JdGordon)
22:38:02bluebrotherwhat is the upside of such reduces portability?
22:38:07bluebrotherfaster loading?
22:38:08nlslinuxstb: and wpss could still be distributed in the current format, keeping the portability
22:38:18Lloreanlinuxstb: As it is, I really don't think any but the included WPSes NEED to be preparsed.
22:38:34linuxstbSo basically the suggestion is to make Rockbox core only load the pre-parsed binary format, and offer parsing capabilities everywhere (Rockbox build system, rbutil and on-target plugin).
22:38:44preglowyeah
22:38:44Nico_PI agree with Llorean. it's a one time thing anyway
22:38:56preglowthe parsing code should be simple to compile outside of rockbox anyway
22:38:57Lloreanlinuxstb: If we have an official gallery of WPSes, like the twiki or whatnot, I think they could be provided as text still (or better yet, included parsed versions for each compatible target there, at least)
22:39:02preglowcan't see why that should use too many rockbox functions
22:39:10Nico_Ppreglow: yes it is
22:39:20Lloreanlinuxstb: I think so.
22:39:29 Quit Entasis ("Leaving")
22:39:30linuxstbLlorean: Now that rbutil can grab WPSs from rockbox-themes.org, it can parse them before installing.

22:39:32bluebrother*too
22:39:43bluebrotherso one can adjust binary themes
22:39:54Lloreanlinuxstb: Indeed, that would be excellent. And if a user manually downloads them, they just have a slightly longer load time since they depend on the pre-parser viewer.
22:40:18nlsbluebrother: why not keep the original text one and just reload it when it's changed?
22:40:32nlstext==human readable
22:40:54Lloreanbluebrother: The original text one should always be around, somewhere. Either at the theme site where the pre-parsed one was downloaded, or in the Rockbox source tarball, at the very least.

22:43:39Stefan___is there a function to get the colors of a pixel?
22:43:47Nico_Ppreglow: i take that as a compliment to my parser :)
22:43:50linuxstbBagder: Yes. And I guess at least the filenames of the bitmaps...
22:43:58Nico_Peven though it's not quite mine

22:44:39linuxstbStefan___: I don't think so.
22:44:41LloreanSo the text of the WPS, and the filenames of the bitmaps, then just have the extractor copy the text, and divide the bitmap portion back up to the appropriate files?
22:45:20Nico_PI'm not sure the original text is even needed...
22:45:29Stefan___damn.. it'll be hard to implement semi-transparency..

22:46:01Stefan___how do i do that? :))
22:46:07bluebrotherhow about a binary format like that:
22:46:08BagderNico_P: and as preglow said, you can make a better binary format if you don't need to decompile it fine
22:46:24bluebrotheruse a standard tar file. Put in the binary wps as first file
22:46:31bluebrotherthen add the bitmap data.
22:46:42bluebrotherand all other files after that
22:47:03linuxstbStefan___: You also have to deal with any backdrop - that's stored in a separate buffer.
22:47:18Nico_PBagder: could you have a look at the current format and tell me what you think ?
22:47:22*bluebrother sees loads of underscores on this page
22:47:42Nico_PBagder: I mean the current one in my patch...
22:47:45BagderNico_P: I'll try to get some time to check it out
22:47:49bluebrotherso if someone wants to decompose the binary theme he just needs to untar everything
22:48:13bluebrotherbtw, I think we should also include theme configuration in that files, not only wps
22:48:15linuxstbtar = "theme archive" ....

23:31:28bluebrotherhmm.
23:31:40bluebrotherI'm not sure if I like this binary wps idea
23:31:49 Quit printfXh4 (Read error: 148 (No route to host))
23:32:37linuxstbbluebrother: Why?
23:32:40Nico_Pbluebrother: as pixelma said, it does increase the code size a bit
23:32:48Nico_Por a little more than a bit
23:33:28preglowjhMikeS: so, your arm asm career has started? :>
23:33:46LloreanNico_P: That's not the binary WPS idea.
23:33:54*bluebrother wants to code Rockbox instead of java :(
23:34:03linuxstbpreglow: Sadly he's at the wrong end (Gigabeat) of the scale...
23:34:05LloreanNico_P: That patch is just the tokenizing of the WPS. Makes the WPS code a lot easier to read and work with, is my understanding.
23:34:18LloreanNico_P: Oops, that was meant for bluebrother
23:34:31bluebrotherhehe ;-)
23:34:48Nico_PLlorean: that's it
23:35:01bluebrotherLlorean: I know that it's not the binary thing.
23:35:04Nico_Pif we offload the parsing to a plugin, code size will be positively affected too
23:35:26bluebrotherstill, I'm not sure if I like the binary idea
23:35:35preglowlinuxstb: yes :/
23:35:53bluebrotherI would rather try the tar attempt in a more sophisticated way again
23:36:14Lloreanbluebrother: The binary idea would allow the code size decrease.
23:36:33 Part lavid
23:36:42bluebrotherLlorean: I doubt it would make a huge difference
23:37:02LloreanHow much code is currently dedicated to the parsing?
23:37:05bluebrotherwe still need loading of bmp files (for backdrops etc)
23:37:16 Join midgey [0] (n=tjross@markely-164-75.reshall.umich.edu)
23:37:20Lloreanbluebrother: Not if they're stored sequentially in the post-parsed format.
23:37:23linuxstbbluebrother: The tar files will always be slower than just reading a dump of the wps image struct from a file...
23:37:48LloreanIf you can just load the WPS struct and the image cache from a file, that's a lot less code than the active parsing of the WPS into that struct.
23:38:00bluebrotheryes, if we use the native lcd format. But I dislike the portability broken
23:38:04Bawitdabamaybe a bit off topic but, when u buy an ipod it comes with a dock 'connector' can u charge the ipod with this or do u have to buy the un included adapter
23:38:22Lloreanbluebrother: Portability is only broken if people distribute the binary files. They don't have to, and shouldn't be encouraged to.
23:38:40linuxstbBawitdaba: ipods come with a "dock-to-usb" cable - you can charge with that using a computer as the power source.
23:39:00Bawitdabaoh word so u dont need a charger then
23:39:03Bawitdabau can just use usb
23:39:08bluebrotherI'm pretty sure you know better than me that users will do so ;-)
23:39:16Bawitdabaguess ill grab an ipod then
23:39:37Lloreanbluebrother: Yes, but that's okay, people can make WPSes that are target specific anyway. Any iPod 4G WPS with a clock on it, for example.
23:39:42Lloreanbluebrother: Or the million WPSes that require patches.
23:39:48linuxstbbluebrother: Themes are hardly very portable at the moment. The number of targets with the same size/depth LCDs is small.
23:39:58LloreanAt least this way we can have a small header that can pop up a splash saying "This WPS is incompatible"

23:40:07pixelmaLlorean: why? ... they would work on M5/X5 too (with the clock)
23:40:14*petur imagines the mess when the internal wps struct changes and the binary files no longer load. Hello version numbers and automatic re-parse?
23:40:25pixelmaand rtc modded H1x0...
23:40:31Lloreanpixelma: They won't work on an H120, despite the fact that our WPS gallery is labelled as H1xx/4G iPod
23:40:40webguest30anybody know where I can find parts for an iRiver iHP-120? My hard drive is good, but the board is shot I think.
23:41:07bluebrotherand if I want to run a 4G wps on the h120? Currently it works except for RTC tags (which are rarely used anyway)
23:41:08Lloreanpetur: Again, only a problem if people distribute their WPSes as binary
23:41:22LloreanMy original idea was only for the WPSes in the rockbox.zip to be distributed as post-parse.
23:41:36peturstill, you'll need to (auto)re-parse
23:41:43Lloreanpetur: Why?
23:41:58peturif the format changes?
23:42:04linuxstbbluebrother: The idea is still for WPSs to be distributed in their current format, but for them to be converted to binary by either rbutil if the user installs that way, or automagically via a Rockbox plugin.
23:42:11LloreanIf the format changes, the included WPSes in the .zip should be in the new format.
23:42:14 Quit BigMac ("Leaving")
23:42:35LloreanThe only incompatible parsed WPS will be the "current" WPS which will have to be reloaded on the first boot after installing a new build.
23:42:50LloreanThat can be automated, if the parsed WPS version doesn't match the current struct version.
23:42:52bluebrotherwhat is the main bottleneck when loading bitmaps? Decoding?
23:43:00Bawitdabayeah screw it ill get an ipod 80gb

23:43:08*Bawitdaba sucker
23:43:14linuxstbbluebrother: I would guess disk seeking and reading.
23:43:15LloreanBawitdaba: Rockbox doesn't support the 80gb one yet.
23:43:15bluebrotherBawitdaba: rockbox doesn't work on the 80GB yet
23:43:20Bawitdabayet^
23:43:24Bawitdabait will
23:43:29bluebrotherlinuxstb: but that could get adressed differently.
23:43:38bluebrotherno need for some binary structure
23:43:42Bawitdabai assume it will anyway lol
23:43:45Bawitdabafrom the post i read
23:44:02Lloreanlinuxstb, bluebrother: I wouldn't think it'd be that bad, then if the bitmaps were stored in the binary in a known format instead of the framebuffer format, and converted on load?
23:44:11LloreanBawitdaba: It will be eventually, yes.

23:44:47bluebrotherthat's another conversion ...
23:44:49linuxstbI just don't see the problem, if the standard distribution format will stay the same - i.e. a text file and .bmps.
23:44:51Lloreanlinuxstb, bluebrother: It's not like we can remove the bmp->framebuffer code from the core anyway?
23:44:51Bawitdabacant wait to get one so i can be un zombie like at work
23:45:07Lloreanbluebrother: A conversion that takes place with the current WPS code anyway.
23:45:08bluebrotherLlorean: how should we deal bmp backdrops then?
23:45:19Nico_PLlorean: to answer the question you asked I removed most of the loading code and compiled (it worked)... it took 5688 bytes off the gigabeat bin file
23:45:20Lloreanbluebrother: I don't understand the question.
23:45:40Bawitdabajust minor off topic again, should i get white or black i hear black scratches easy?
23:45:41*bluebrother just is converting data ... and converting data ... and loves programming it :(
23:45:55linuxstbBawitdaba: Do you want to use Rockbox?
23:46:01Bawitdabayeah
23:46:10linuxstbThen the ipods are not the best choice.
23:46:16Bawitdabalol
23:46:17bluebrotherLlorean: currently I can select any file from the backdrops folder and set it as backdrop. If conversion from bmp->framebuffer is removed, how should that work?
23:46:20Bawitdabawhys that
23:46:30Lloreanbluebrother: I said we cannot remove that conversion.
23:46:44bluebrotherLlorean: ok, misread you.
23:46:48linuxstbRockbox performs better on most other platforms - mainly because the ipods have very little public documentation about the hardware.
23:46:59andrewg867hey, does anyone know about the sansa emulator (the windows one)?
23:47:10markunNico_P: nice, but then you need a separate tool to compile the WPS?
23:47:17andrewg867I can't get it to stop crasing
23:47:17andrewg867*crashing
23:47:21Bawitdabado u know of a better 80gb player that is or will be rockboxable then?
23:47:24Bawitdabalol
23:47:27Nico_Pmarkun: it could be a plugin
23:47:27bluebrotherbut what major code parts would be superseded if we have another binary blob?
23:47:33Lloreanbluebrother: I basically think the binary format should be [wps struct][concatenated bitmap images in the order they appear in the wps]
23:47:36LloreanOr something similar
23:47:40LloreanRather than framebuffer data.
23:47:46LloreanBut framebuffer data seems popular.
23:47:54*Llorean never quite caught why exactly
23:48:00 Quit webguest30 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
23:48:19bluebrotherLlorean: that's mostly the attempt I'm thinking of, but I think of using tar as a container
23:48:33LloreanBut you're still advocating using the old text format for the WPS
23:48:35 Quit mots ("Ping-Pong Time's up!")
23:48:36bluebrotherthat way one could easily decompose such a thing
23:48:44linuxstbBawitdaba: The ipod is the only player sold with an 80GB disk, but you could upgrade a lot of the players Rockbox runs on to that size.
23:48:48Nico_Pand to those whith concerns about portability... i'm pretty sure it could be identical to what we have with the text files, at least as far as the tokens are cocnerned
23:48:50bluebrotherI don't see any advantage in a binary format for wps
23:48:52Lloreanbluebrother: I don't think we *have* to support decomposing them.
23:49:07Lloreanbluebrother: How is "smaller core code size" not an advantage?
23:49:14bluebrotherof course we don't *need* to do so
23:49:30bluebrotherbut how much will the advantage be? I really doubt it will be that much
23:49:47Llorean5k on ARM according to Nico_P's test he just attempted.
23:49:52bluebrotherfor the wps: you still need to parse some format. So why is a binary format better?
23:50:01LloreanIn a binary format you DON'T have to parse.
23:50:13LloreanYou just copy the data into memory.
23:50:17Nico_Pbluebrother: with a bin file you read the contents directly to the memory
23:50:18bluebrotherNico_P: you already did some tests with a binary format?
23:50:20Nico_Pand voilĂ 
23:50:34Lloreanbluebrother: He just removed the parsing, as if it were using a binary format.
23:50:49bluebrotheryes, but how is deciding what to display working then?
23:50:55Nico_Pbluebrother: I already have a WPS tokenizer (see my mailing list posts). I removed the code related to parsong and loading the WPS
23:50:59bluebrotheryou still need to do something
23:51:07Lloreanbluebrother: That's a different series of steps entirely
23:51:19Nico_Pbluebrother: the displaying code was still there
23:51:32LloreanParsing is "Going from .wps to the struct in memory", and isn't related to drawing it.
23:51:50Nico_Pparsing and displaying are totally independant. I could compile the core after having removed all the parsing and loading code
23:52:15Bawitdabalinuxstb i dont suppose they use ata-6 2.5" hds
23:52:29linuxstbBawitdaba: No, 1.8" disks.
23:52:30Bawitdabasweet deals on 160gb notebook hds
23:52:34bluebrotherhmm. And what form has the data after tokenizing?
23:52:52Nico_PLlorean: I'm pleased to see you understand and explain the whole thing well :)
23:52:59Nico_Pyou explain a lot better than me
23:53:14linuxstbBawitdaba: Unless you wanted an old Archos device, they take 2.5" drives, but can only play MP3 files, nothing else.
23:53:30LloreanNico_P: Unfortunately his most recent one, I have no clue. I haven't looked at the patch yet. :)
23:53:39MoosNico_P: native english user surely help ;)
23:53:50Nico_Pbluebrother: you'd have to look at the patch, but basically it's an array of "struct wps_token"
23:53:56*bluebrother isn't native english
23:54:06 Quit Juice^ ("Leaving")
23:54:12*Moos thought to Lorean
23:54:13Nico_PMoos: i'm native english but I suck at explaining things
23:54:15Lloreanbluebrother: The tokenization is mainly to make the source code more readable You still have the WPS data in memory.
23:54:27bluebrotherI know.
23:54:36Nico_Psorry for the paste, but here is the struct :
23:54:40Nico_Pstruct wps_token {
23:54:40Lloreanbluebrother: Basically, the idea of preparsing the WPS is that you convert the WPS from whatever on-disk format it is, to its in-memory format, in a plugin instead of the core.
23:54:44Nico_P enum wps_token_type type;
23:54:45bluebrotherbut if I don't have the wps data in memory anymore, how is it supposed to work then?
23:54:48Nico_P bool next;
23:54:49linuxstbBawitdaba: See this page for the different devices Rockbox supports - http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DeviceChart

23:55:05Nico_PMoos: I'm both french and english ;)
23:55:07bluebrotherNico_P: found that just myself ;-)
23:55:10Lloreanbluebrother: That way Rockbox can load it directly in-memory without having to have any of the code necessary to interpret the on-disk format in the core, just the code necessary to take the in-memory format and use it to draw
23:55:34MoosNico_P: that make sense then:-)
23:55:47bluebrotherhow does it work currently? It parses the wps text data every time?
23:55:54Nico_Pbluebrother: yes
23:56:14Lloreanbluebrother: The WPS is currently "Convert from File->RAM format" then "Draw based on RAM format", you're splitting that and moving the first one into a plugin. The "binary" format, is identical to the in-RAM data and doesn't need to be converted at all during loading.

23:58:43LloreanFrom a user perspective, clicking on an old-style text.wps will work exactly the same as always
23:58:54LloreanThe only difference is where the actions take place, half of them take place in a plugin.
