#rockbox log for 2007-03-20

00:00:03LloreanAgain: The included WPSes will always be loadable since they're preprocessed.
00:00:21bluebrothernot if the installed version and loaded version mismatch
00:00:26LloreanThe plugin is only necessary for loading .wps files, not .bps files (or whatever)
00:00:38LloreanThen it defaults to rockbox_default which is compiled in.
00:00:44bluebrotherurgh
00:00:52bluebrotherquite bad from a users point of view
00:00:54Nico_Pbluebrother: we'd still hardcode a default wps
00:00:56LloreanIf the codec versions mismatch, music won't play.
00:01:09LloreanSaying "what if there's a version mismatch" isn't a strong argument
00:01:25LloreanIf they've improperly installed rockbox, plenty of things won't work that are much more significant than "Not having to use rockbox_default"
00:01:29bluebrothercodec versions rarely change. Plugin versions quite a lot
00:01:47markunNico_P: any chance you can make the parser smaller than 5k?
00:02:34pixelmaLlorean: you'll get to answer all the "help! where's my wps gone" questions ;)
00:02:37Lloreanbluebrother: Again, the plugin is only needed for unofficial WPSes, those not included with their build.
00:02:46Lloreanpixelma: I know, and yet I'm still in favour of the idea. Crazy, innit?
00:02:46 Quit Domonoky ("Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com")
00:03:06***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:03:13bluebrothercrazy, but I'm still not convinced ;-)
00:03:21Lloreanbluebrother: I don't see how "The user must have properly installed Rockbox" is a bad requirement for having additional WPSes beyond the included ones.
00:03:35bluebrotherIMO we should have as less external dependencies as possible
00:03:58 Join safetydan [0] (i=cbca159f@rockbox/developer/safetydan)
00:04:01Nico_Pmarkun: 5k is parser + bitmap preloading... i'm not sure how i could make it smaller but it's probably possible to optimise it
00:04:13Nico_P(i didn't change the bitmap preloading code)
00:04:29pixelmait's strange - I dislike the idea even though I also would like to see bin size dropping - but cannot really argue about it
00:04:37chrisjs169why is Rockbox trying to look for OF.mi4 on the Sansa e200 series?
00:04:58***Alert Mode OFF
00:04:59Lloreanchrisjs169: Are you using the officially provided bootloader, or did you compile your own?
00:05:09chrisjs169Officially provided
00:05:12 Quit obo ("bye")
00:05:22chrisjs169From the yesterdays sansapatcher
00:05:42LloreanAh, well that's not the officially provided one.
00:05:56LloreanThat's the "Experimental, work in progress" one
00:06:11chrisjs169Ah, ok
00:06:33linuxstbBut what's wrong with it looking for OF.mi4 - afaik, it also looks in the firmware partition, plus OF.bin
00:06:33LloreanSo it's looking for it, because it was meant to.
00:06:55Lloreanlinuxstb: The one that looked for OF.MI4 for me, didn't look for OF.BIN, so there was at least one embedded version that didn't.
00:08:03linuxstbAh, OK.
00:08:16bluebrotherI'm all for decreasing binary size. But at what price? That binary thing isn't KISS anymore
00:08:46safetydanWow. We're still arguing about binary WPS formats? :)
00:08:47chrisjs169Hmm....now I'm getting confused, I just removed the OF.bin file from /System and it still booted the OF fine.....is OF.bin actually needed?
00:09:00bluebrothersomewhat ;-)
00:09:03Lloreanchrisjs169: Not if you're using a new enough version of sansapatcher.
00:09:30Lloreansafetydan: I think we've just about hit the "agree to disagree" point.
00:09:31bluebrotherseems like some like it pretty much and some others strongly disagree
00:09:34linuxstbbluebrother: I'm hesitant about it as well, but think that both the decrease in core code size, and the fact that it should give the fastest possible loading time of any method are good things.
00:09:50safetydanbluebrother, I think the first step of Nico_P's patch is just to clean up and improve the parsing code. It does change the internal "in memory" representation of the WPS from the original text file to a token stream. However, in no way is this user visible.
00:09:57bluebrotherI still think there are other options
00:09:59LloreanI think also that as long as the core binary is able to include the wpses that we include in the zip, that's good enough.
00:10:13bluebrothersafetydan: I'm not argueing against that patch.
00:10:14LloreanThat function has to be present, without plugins being there.
00:10:37 Quit Id2ndR ("Parti")
00:10:46safetydanbluebrother, cool. Just checking as it's a bit hard to follow arguments across a days worth of logs :)
00:10:58Hal9000Is there a page on the Rockbox site that deals with how well Rockbox works with car stereo systems? (Search had too many false hits.)
00:11:10linuxstbbluebrother: As you know, I've also written a tar-file patch, and I'm not convinced that's the best approach. The binary-format-created-on-target approach means the WPS creator doesn't have to worry about creating the tar file.
00:11:23safetydanNot sure why the binary, on disk representation of WPS has come back up again. I thought that was dismissed as optimising the wrong end of things?
00:11:44Lloreanbluebrother: And that means the original WPS is still more usable and distributable to windows users who may be clueless about TAR.
00:12:18bluebrotherI'd love to look into tar file loading but unfortunately I don't have the time ATM :(
00:12:19Lloreansafetydan: It can be implemented in a way that moves about 5k of code from the core to a plugin, the code to handle text-wpses basically. Included WPSes could be binary, and loaded by the core.
00:12:28linuxstbHal9000: Which player do you have? Or are you looking to buy one?
00:13:03linuxstbHal9000: The feature you want to search for is "car adaptor mode"
00:13:37safetydanLlorean, ah, I see. So, every WPS not included in the build, would continue to be in the current format?
00:14:06Hal9000I jsut bought a classic car I'm going to finish restoring, so for the first time I'm looking at good audio for a car and found many systems work with iPods. I'll be looking at car stereos first, then a player that Rockbox works on that would work with the car.
00:14:10Lloreansafetydan: Yep, which Rockbox would transparently convert on load using the plugin to a binary file, so that on reboot just the binary needs to be loaded for faster booting.
00:14:41Lloreansafetydan: Of course if they changed the .wps file, they'd have to reload the .wps, but no real cost there except a very slight inconvenience.
00:14:42safetydanFeels kind of icky... but I can't really come up with a concrete objection.
00:15:15linuxstbsafetydan: That's my feeling too :)
00:15:34LloreanIt cuts 5k out of the core, speeds up boots, doesn't break compatibility with the existing WPS format. The only downside is that Rockbox depends on a plugin for non-included WPSes, and flashed Rockbox may not be able to load binary WPSes in a newer/older format.
00:16:41 Quit petur ("sssssssssss---------PLOP!")
00:16:46safetydanLloran, those are all good (apart from the flash thing). But still... binary blobs are like sort of anathema to opensource projects :)
00:17:11Lloreansafetydan: Yes, but the binary blop shouldn't be visible to the user (unless you're talking about the few WPSes in rockbox.zip)
00:17:15bluebrotherI still doubt it will be 5k saved in the end
00:17:33RedbrevaAnyone know... is Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License suitable for use on WPS submissions?
00:17:59Lloreansafetydan: I mean, compiling rockbox_default into rockbox.target is okay, but compiling it as it would show up in memory but storing it as a file outside rockbox.target is bad?
00:18:16safetydanRedbreva, blocking non-commercial use doesn't sound like it'd be compatible with the GPL. I'm not sure how license aggregation works with WPS's and Rockbox though.
00:18:59bluebrotherLlorean: in that case you don't compile rockbox_default into the binary −− you just provide defaults like e.g. for the settings
00:19:00LloreanRedbreva: I was about to say the same thing as safetydan, I don't think "noncommercial" is necessary.
00:19:02linuxstbRedbreva: Personally, I think any WPS license should share the same spirit as the GPL. So as safetydan said, blocking commercial use is not OK...
00:19:13 Quit billytwowilly (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:19:26safetydanLlorean, external files are just more things to go out of sync. But hey, we already deal with that with codecs and plugins, so it's just a downside not a blocker.
00:19:33RedbrevaThat's fine, just checking ;-)
00:19:36linuxstbRedbreva: Although it seems that a lot of WPS authors don't have the right to license their WPSs anyway - they're using images (C) by others.
00:19:58bluebrothernice, a "nothing to resume" hang again :(
00:20:02linuxstbWhich is a sticky area...
00:20:10bluebrotherafter the playlist finished ... urgh.
00:20:42Lloreansafetydan: Yeah, improper Rockbox installs will always be a problem, but since the default WPS is always going to be in-core, you'll never not have an WPS, you just may not have the option of pretty ones until you fix your install.

00:21:48linuxstbIndeed... No-one will upgrade for a while.
00:21:49*Llorean thinks of the same thing and smiles. :-P
00:21:49safetydanI forsee the death (or at least long sleep) for a lot of customised builds.
00:22:04linuxstbOr a forking...
00:22:41bluebrothernoone upgrading makes less bug reporters ...
00:22:46nlsa fork would be even more work if they wanted to backport interesting stuff...
00:23:08Lloreanbluebrother: No-one upgrading unsupported builds. They better not be reporting anyway.
00:23:20linuxstbI guess they would be no more "forks" than they are now.
00:23:23safetydanWell if someone forks, we'll just make sure that when/if WMA support goes in, it happens in a way that makes it very difficult to backport. That way they'll have to give up :)
00:23:33bluebrotherbut users of unsupported builds will most likely stick to old builds
00:24:11nlsbluebrother: they already do, some of these builds update less frequently than once a month...
00:24:41nlsno wonder when they have 30-40 patches to resync every time :_)
00:24:42bluebrotheryeah, but I guess it will get even worse
00:24:53LloreanI don't think "not breaking unsupported builds" should ever, ever be an argument against something.
00:25:03linuxstbsafetydan: Do people still complain about no WMA support? I haven't visted MR for months...
00:25:07*bluebrother agrees with Llorean once
00:25:19Lloreanbluebrother: We agree quite often, just not on this one large thing. ;)
00:25:26bluebrotherhehe :)
00:25:34Lloreanlinuxstb: They complain at MR, iaudiophile, and anythingbutipod often enough.
00:25:48bluebrotherbut I guess there will be quite some discussion about that anyway
00:25:54linuxstbI've been reading ipod posts too much...
00:25:57Hal9000I found the part in the manual on the Car Adaptor Mode −− one question left: Will all players Rockbox runs on work with a car stereo that works with an iPod?
00:26:01safetydanlinuxstb, actually the MR forums have been pretty dead lately. But I'm sure there was at least "Rockbox doesn't play any of my (wma) music!!!11" posts in the last week
00:26:16linuxstbHal9000: No, no players will, not even ipods.
00:26:17nlslinuxstb: there was a thread with lots of exclamation marks wondering if we "did not support wma intentionally" I think it mysteriously disappeared :-)
00:26:54 Join Shaid [0] (i=shaid@203-214-41-252.dyn.iinet.net.au)
00:26:58bluebrotherthere was this "the radio was left out intentionally" post on the ml today
00:27:19HaSHhmm so what would be a good period to update rockbox/..once a week?...or is developement fast?...i use a 30 gig ipod video and i had to compile the kernel with the cop patch
00:27:35LloreanHaSH: There's usually several builds per day, all of which may or may not have fixes you want. ;)
00:27:39Hal9000If I don't care about handling the menu or playlist through the car stereo, is there a way to just play the audio back through the car stereo?
00:27:46linuxstbHaSH:Keep an eye on the changelog on the front page, and upgrade when you see something that affects you.
00:27:46XavierGrnot that my opinion matter but I have to say I am opposed to the binary WPS idea too. Although the gains will be somewhat measurable, I still think it is away from the KISS perspective. It sounds weird to me to have to run a plugin to modify a wps to binary data.
00:27:47safetydanHaSH, cop support has been in the core for a few weeks now
00:27:51nlswe should put that up on the frontpage: "We hace now decided to never ever support radio on h10 and wma, ever" :-)
00:27:52LloreanHaSH: Personally, a period of twice to once per week is often good enough in my opinion.
00:28:00nlshave even
00:28:04LloreanHaSH: The key to remember is: Before reporting a bug, make sure it happens in the absolute newest version.
00:28:18XavierGralthough I am for Nico_P's patch that will make the wps code more readable
00:28:32LloreanXavierGr: You don't have to run a plugin.
00:28:39HaSHLlorean, ah well has anyone came up with a spiffy bash script to dl and build from the svn?...that would be killer. set it up on a cronjob.
00:28:42LloreanXavierGr: You click on the WPS exactly as normal, and Rockbox uses the WPS.
00:28:49safetydanXavierGr, I'm not sure you'd actually notice any difference as a user. If I understand correctly you click on a WPS as you do now, and Rockbox does the magic binary thingy.
00:29:01LloreanXavierGr: You wouldn't see anything out of the ordinary as a user, at all. You'd have no idea unless someone told you.
00:29:04XavierGryeah well.. it will be automated
00:29:20HaSHive seen scripts that will do this...only for diff application
00:29:20safetydanHaSH, it's already there. The current build is always the latest from SVN.
00:29:22linuxstbHaSH: "svn update && make && make zip && unzip rockbox.zip -d /mnt/player/"
00:29:32LloreanHaSH: There's no reason to build from SVN every time, every time there's a commit, fresh builds are made available.
00:29:36 Part toffe82
00:29:51HaSHhmm ok.
00:30:25pixelmaLlorean: there could be a difference - in case you run a battery_bench at the same time (not very likely but who knows?)
00:30:35HaSHthanks for the info guys/gals
00:30:43XavierGryeah there is this chance too though that is way too rare
00:30:52Lloreanpixelma: Yes, if there were a TSR active, there would be a conflict.
00:30:55linuxstbbattery_bench is more a debug/development feature though.
00:31:02XavierGrexcept if more tsr plugins are made that are way too usefull
00:31:06Lloreanpixelma: But this happens when you attempt to view your playlist while a TSR is active too.
00:31:13nlspixelma: afaik we ask wether we should kill the battery_benc plugin if another is about to start
00:31:16safetydanor get file properties
00:31:51XavierGrreminds me that battery_bench should display a splash when interrupted
00:32:15nlsare there any other tsr plugins beside battery_benchmark and the alpine cd changer thingy?
00:32:26XavierGrnot that i know of
00:32:42linuxstbXavierGr: Be careful with that - I think the rule is that only the main thread should write to the LCD.
00:32:45bluebrotherok guys ... I still vote for KISS instead of binary blobs, but now I should finally get some sleep
00:33:03bluebrotherguess this will get discussed for a while here ... cya
00:33:27XavierGrlinuxstb: didn't know that, but still it would be good to notify that the benchmark ended
00:33:30safetydanIn one sense the binary blob is KISS. It simplifies the core in that it only needs to handle binary blobs. No parsing anymore.

00:35:10XavierGrI don't think that there will be a problem to put a spash there
00:35:17nlsXavierGr: there is a message asking if you want to kill the benchmark or let it continue when you try to start another plugin
00:35:29XavierGrthere is? I don't remember it :P

00:54:48Iconeahhh okay
00:55:04Iconesorry because im french xD
00:55:47Iconeend...the gbsystem, where is it ?
00:55:59linuxstbProbably hiding from you.
00:56:09linuxstbYou need to tell Windows to show hidden and system folders.
00:56:09nlsIcone: it is superhidden
00:56:31Iconethx ^^
00:56:44Iconesorry but im not verry good LOL thats my first flashing
00:57:01markunnobody has flashed a Gigabeat so far
00:57:08markunso good luck :)
00:57:13linuxstbmarkun: Did you see my usb charging question?
00:57:29markunlinuxstb: we can probably do it with our own bootloader in flash
00:57:47LloreanIcone: What markun means is that the install process isn't really flashing, just files on disk
00:58:06markunlinuxstb: as inserting the USB cable can generate a interrupt
00:58:12linuxstbI mean the problem is that my battery is low, so it won't turn on (at least, I'm assuming that's the problem...) and I'm trying to revive it with a USB charger.
00:58:16 Quit funky ("leaving")
00:58:28linuxstbs/USB charger/USB connection to my PC/
00:58:40linuxstbI guess I should unpack the AC charger from the box
00:58:44Iconehow can i tell to windows show hidden folder ? :S
00:59:01markunlinuxstb: hm, now I think of it.. it might be charging
00:59:27nlsIcone: use google more :-) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/hiddenfiles.mspx
00:59:33markunas that's done by the power management chip, and perhaps it doesn't need the CPU to be running

02:29:59Nico_Phttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6862
02:30:34JdGordonnice work Nico_P :)
02:30:47JdGordonhave we got an outcome to the parser in rock question?
02:30:51JdGordonor argument?
02:31:01Nico_PJdGordon: have you seen my improved RTC code ?
02:31:23Nico_PJdGordon: not really... I'm waiting to hear what the swedes have to say on this
02:31:29Nico_PBagder seemed to like it
02:32:26JdGordonI rekon, as long as the user only knows to load a wps then its fine...
02:32:40JdGordonbut if the user knows there is an intermediate file then its no good...
02:32:47JdGordonlinuxtsb didnt like that tho
02:32:49Nico_Panyway I think I'd like to commit it in its current principle and maybe build on that afterwards
02:33:08JdGordonof course
02:33:16LloreanYeah, one patch per feature as always
02:33:20*JdGordon doesnt have his usb cable here to test
02:33:52Nico_PI just hope I won't get hit because of binsize :p
02:33:58Nico_Pnot sure how much it adds though
02:34:07Nico_Pi'll have a look
02:34:07JdGordonLlorean: you are here :) have you got your sansa handy?
02:34:31LloreanJdGordon: I just got back from dinner.
02:34:42LloreanGive me about 5 minutes to clear some stuff up and I can then dig up my Sansa.
02:35:27JdGordongreat
02:35:38safetydanNico_P, looks good. Looks very good.
02:35:38JdGordonNico_P: yeah that rtc code looks much better
02:35:41LloreanWas there something that needed testing?
02:35:53Nico_PJdGordon: and it doesn't crash :)
02:36:00safetydanOnly question I would have is about the buffer sizes. Do we really need to support 1024 WPS tokens?
02:36:04JdGordonalways a bonus :)
02:36:23JdGordonI would think 1024 is about correct...
02:36:34 Nick zeth_ is now known as zeth (n=zeth@82-36-234-82.cable.ubr01.harb.blueyonder.co.uk)
02:36:36JdGordonsome of them are pretty heavy....
02:36:56Nico_Psafetydan: I had a WPS that used something like 600-700
02:37:06Nico_Pand the formatbuffer is 3072
02:37:35safetydanWell so long as it's based on realy world numbers. Would have been an easy place to trim some size.
02:37:54JdGordonNico_P: one thing I would suggest is reorder the struct wps_tag struct so the 4 chars are after eachother... might pack more nicely
02:38:52Nico_Psafetydan: i don't think it has an effect on binsize
02:39:00JdGordonhmm... although hat may be very irritating to do
02:39:18JdGordonit will have a tiny effect on RAM usage tho....
02:39:51safetydanNico_P, sorry yes. Misthink on my part.
02:40:21Nico_PJdGordon: I'll try doing it... shouldn't be too hard
02:40:46JdGordonna, dont bother...
02:41:19JdGordonwhat is the sizeof struct wps_token ?
02:41:35JdGordon10bytes?
02:42:14safetydanI'm guessing 16 including padding
02:42:14Nico_P12
02:42:17JdGordonyou could probably merge the first 3 variable of that into one int... but that doesnt work so nicely with KISS
02:42:24Nico_Pjust asked gdb
02:42:56LloreanJdGordon: Okay, I've got my Sansa. What's up?
02:43:04JdGordonyou got linux?
02:43:12Nico_Psizeof(enum wps_token_type) is 4 :(
02:43:16safetydanis the flag member of wps_token used? Or are my searching skills gone off?
02:43:17Nico_Pwhy can't it be less ?
02:43:18LloreanJdGordon: VMWare
02:43:22safetydanNico_P, yeah because it's an int
02:43:38Nico_Psafetydan: why can't gdb detect it could be a short ?
02:43:39JdGordonLlorean: can vmware connect tot he sansa?
02:43:46Nico_Pgcc i mean
02:43:51LloreanJdGordon: Yes
02:44:07JdGordonLlorean: cool :) can you dump the hidden partition with dd please?
02:44:07safetydanNico_P, I think by definition in C that enum's are ints.
02:44:12Nico_Pah
02:44:18LloreanJdGordon: With Rockbox installed, or an OF?
02:44:27JdGordoneither or...
02:44:43JdGordonneed you to get me 40 bytes from it...
02:44:58JdGordonactually.. do you know whch OF you installed?
02:44:59LloreanJdGordon: You did know daniel had several copies of it posted here, right? http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200.html
02:45:08Nico_Psafetydan: you're right, I forgot to remove the flag
02:45:28safetydanWoo! Space savings :)
02:46:11safetydanbool might also be an int. I can't remember how stdbool.h defines things.
02:46:12Nico_Psizeof(struct wps_token) is still 12 though
02:46:26JdGordonI would guess bool would be unsined char...
02:46:46JdGordonbut if you could merge flag the bool and the tag into one it would get it down to 8 bytes...
02:46:50safetydanIf you wanted to, you could probably do something dodgy where the top bit of the type field is used as a the "bool next" flag

02:47:00JdGordon*1024 is a 4kb saving....
02:47:44Nico_PJdGordon: sounds possible but not very clear to me
02:47:48pixelmaNico_P: I'm a bit unsure as my coding skills are about nothing but IIUC you could ifdef out the backdrop code for mono screens
02:48:07LloreanJdGordon: Anyway, I can dump a clean 01.00.12A firmware partition if you need it.
02:48:08Nico_Ppixelma: which backdrop code ?
02:48:17JdGordonpixelma: iirc, backdrop is enabled from greyy targets
02:48:32Nico_PIIRC it's ifedef with LCD_DEPTH > 1
02:48:33pixelmaJdGordon: that's why I said mono... ;)
02:48:33JdGordonLlorean: a, thats the same one as barry so dont bother...
02:48:39LloreanOkay
02:48:41JdGordonwoops... sorry :p
02:48:51JdGordonLlorean: can you test out a bootloader for me?
02:48:58*JdGordon 's brother has his sansa :(
02:49:12LloreanSure
02:49:29LloreanAm I supposed to install it via sansapatcher, or the old method?
02:49:52JdGordonany method you like :)
02:50:04JdGordonyou want the diff or the mi4?
02:50:08LloreanWell, does it look for OF.bin, OF.MI4, or an original firmware in the boot partition?
02:50:08pixelmaNico_P: lines 2507ff (but maybe I'm not reading it correctly and that's not an important part)
02:50:13Lloreanmi4 would be best.
02:50:19pixelmain your patch
02:51:07Iconehow can i reverse the screen to the side ? :S ( if its possible
02:51:29Nico_Ppixelma: it could have another ifdef but that's debug code that's in an ifdef DEBUG
02:51:35Nico_Pso not very important
02:51:36pixelmaok
02:51:37JdGordonLlorean: in your gmail... once its installed, turn it on with usb and leave it.. of all goes well you should be dumped in the OF without it rebuilding
02:52:09JdGordonNico_P: could you move that debug code into another file for readability?
02:52:09Nico_PIcone: it's not really possible
02:52:15LloreanJdGordon: Do I need OF.bin, OF.mi4, or original firmware in the boot partition?
02:52:25Nico_PJdGordon: wps_debug.c ?
02:52:28JdGordonyou havnt got rockbox installe dyet?
02:52:49midgeyis there any reason that wps_load returns a bool (which seems to be always true...)
02:53:00LloreanJdGordon: My Sansa's currently clean.
02:53:15JdGordonoh.. hmm... ok dont worry about it unless your ready to install rb
02:53:22LloreanI'm ready to install RB
02:53:37LloreanI've done it about a million times, just the last thing I tested was sansapatcher uninstall
02:53:57JdGordonok then... make sure you have one of the OF. files in /System and install it with sansapatcher...
02:54:08LloreanOkay, I'll put OF.bin back
02:54:14JdGordondetection isnt perfect yet so without an OF.bin or OF.mi4 you could be in trouble
02:54:28LloreanEh, I'm comfy with recovery mode. :)
02:54:45JdGordonsame :) i think its faster to upgrade the bl from there anyway...
02:54:49LloreanIt is
02:54:53LloreanNo need to reboot into the OF to do it
02:54:55JdGordonuntill we get this usb detection stuff working proerly
02:56:03LloreanHmm, Sansapatcher -a didn't seem to work. Hangs at the sandisk logo, lemme try a classic upgrade to it.
02:56:22JdGordonhow long did it hang for?
02:56:25billytwowillyhow's the usb stuff coming? Awesome work by the way.
02:56:32LloreanJdGordon: Until I turned it off?
02:56:43JdGordonlike more than a few seconds?
02:56:50Llorean20+ seconds before I held Power for 15 seconds
02:56:57JdGordonok, then it crashed :p
02:56:57Iconehum someone, can i flip doom to the side with my F20 ?
02:57:10JdGordonIcone: only with a custom build....
02:57:20midgeydoom has an option in the menu
02:57:21LloreanJdGordon: Crashed, or the version of sansapatcher I've to sitting around isn't perfectly reliable. It's not the newest
02:57:26Iconeokay
02:57:33JdGordoncould be...
02:57:35Iconebut i dont see that option LOL
02:57:45Iconeanywya, i can play :P thats the important :)
02:57:55JdGordonLlorean: anyway, this is why i want the verbose mode enabled if your gooing into the OF
02:57:57midgeyIcone: rotate by 90
02:58:57Iconeahhhh
02:58:57IconeLOL
02:58:59Iconethx :D

02:59:24*BHSPitMonkey savors the awkwardness
02:59:58LloreanJdGordon: Alright, yeah, your bootloader crashes somewhere
03:00
03:01:08JdGordoncrap, ok
03:01:36JdGordondoes it work without the usb cable going into OF?
03:02:02JdGordonoh.. haha woops... sorry, infinite loop :p
03:02:52LloreanThat'll do it.
03:03:25JdGordonsorry, new one is in your email if your game :)
03:03:41JdGordonyourll have to use recovery mdoe for this one :'(
03:03:57JdGordonactually... connecting to usb should get you out of the loop
03:04:31LloreanOkay, boots OF when USB is connected.
03:05:19JdGordonok, can you mount it.. copy something onto it then go back into OF with usb connected please?
03:06:22LloreanWell, upon rebooting the player into Rockbox, then trying to boot the OF a second time, by shutting down, and plugging in USB while turned off, it freezes
03:06:29Nico_PJdGordon: I moved the debug code to another file, but somehow, #ifdef DEBUG seems to be always false in apps/SOURCES
03:06:58Nico_Pif I add that around my debug code file, it never compiles
03:07:27LloreanJdGordon: On the second attempt to boot, the calculated CRC32 doesn't match the listed CRC32

03:08:57LloreanJdGordon: And the CRC32 seems to be changing every boot or two.
03:09:29LloreanThe calculated one, that is
03:09:48JdGordonLlorean: yeah, sansapatcher isnt perfect yet...
03:10:07LloreanJdGordon: This isn't a sansapatcher problem
03:10:26JdGordonnot really sure hwere hte problem is :(
03:10:35LloreanI'm talking about: Sansapatcher a bootloader on. OF boots fine from RBOF image. Rockbox boots fine. Try booting OF a second time, CRC check fails.
03:10:49LloreanThen, every one or two boots, the calculated CRC is different.
03:10:51JdGordonyeah, that happens here also...
03:11:40JdGordonbut the time it got into the OF, did it rebuild the db?
03:12:04LloreanJdGordon: Not that I noticed.
03:12:20LloreanI may have missed it
03:12:26LloreanI'm fixing my sansa and trying again
03:13:44LloreanJdGordon: Okay, testing it with OF.bin this time
03:13:50LloreanThe database is not rebuilt upon booting the OF
03:13:53JdGordonyou cant miss it.. unless you have no music? the damn thing takes aged
03:13:59LloreanI have no music. :)
03:14:02JdGordonis this with usb connected?
03:14:10LloreanWith USB connected in the bootloader, yes
03:14:19JdGordonawesome, then it works :)
03:14:24LloreanOnce, USB connected all the way, second time USB removed right after the bootloader says "Loading OF.bin"
03:14:44LloreanCould you make a version of the bootloader with the CRC32 check disabled (or just always returning that it passes)?
03:14:47JdGordonoh... the 2nd time was proabbly too late
03:14:56LloreanToo late?
03:14:56JdGordonyep
03:14:58JdGordonone min
03:15:11JdGordonyeah, too late.. usb detection is fairly early on in the loader
03:15:18LloreanOh, I wasn't trying to avoid detection
03:15:35LloreanI was trying to avoid the original firmware detecting the USB and going straight into USB mode. I wasn't sure if it skips database refreshes when going to USB.
03:16:06LloreanBut I removed all my music since I kept having to boot the OF while testing sansapatcher. It still says refreshing, normally, it's just only for about 2 seconds.
03:16:32JdGordonok, this one ignores the checksum...
03:16:57JdGordonstartight after disconnecting, reconnect usb and elave it untill you get nto the OF... it should say "rebuild byte reset"
03:17:13LloreanBut I'd like to see if it's the OF in the partition is becoming corrupted, or just changes slightly with every boot attempt.
03:17:37JdGordonthe OF should not be changed at all.. ever...
03:17:47LloreanWe don't know what the flash loader does.
03:18:15 Quit Icone ()
03:18:21LloreanEven if it's tweaking a single byte of that data for some reason it could change the CRC32 from the old precalculated one, no?
03:18:54JdGordonyeah, but the crc is checked ont he actually bootloader... the flash loader should not be changing anything in that area...
03:20:27LloreanThe CRC is checking the main firmware image right, and comparing it to a value we've stored?
03:22:50JdGordonthe crc is stored in the mi4 header... so we ccheck our crc against that value...
03:23:01 Quit Thundercloud_ (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))
03:23:17LloreanYes, but do we have any solid evidence the rest of the MI4 is never changed by the flash loader?
03:23:45JdGordonno.. semi easy to check tho...
03:24:00JdGordonwe can dump the hidden partition in rockbox, so before the OF gets a chance to fiddle...
03:24:04LloreanBecause either the flash loader's changing it, or our bootloader is.
03:24:11JdGordonunless the flash loader mangles it... then we have no chance
03:25:00LloreanYeah, see the calculated CRC32 was just completely different from the stored CRC32, and the OF boot fine
03:25:08JdGordonthing is tho.. if that data is being changed (and its by us) we are corrupting the OF which is bad.... but I doubt it is, because I would assume the OF checks the crc also...
03:25:29JdGordondid it say rebuild byte reset?
03:25:54LloreanNot that I saw
03:26:02JdGordonbugger :(
03:26:42LloreanThe last line is the calculated CRC32, nothing after that in the bootloader
03:26:51LloreanBut it's booted up the OF three times, with three different calculated ones
03:27:21JdGordonmaybe our crc code isnt being initialed correctly?
03:27:21LloreanIt's not building the database when the OF boots, at least
03:27:44LloreanEither our CRC32 code is bad, or the bootpartition is changing.
03:27:56LloreanThough I have seen the same calculated CRC32 two boots in a row at one point.
03:29:03LloreanBut that was mostly my point, to verify that the OF still worked fine despite the CRC32 check failing, so we know at least that the OF isn't mangled.
03:29:30JdGordonare you connecting to usb between retries? it only rebuilds if it was actually mounted.. and it only disables it if the usb was connected pretty muc as soon as the bootloader starts
03:30:10JdGordonbugger... battery starting to run too low to work... might drop out shortly :(

03:32:30LloreanJdGordon: I'll just use DD
03:32:34LloreanAFter this other test
03:32:42JdGordonif its not saying rebuild byte reset then its not working...
03:33:01JdGordonno.. dd gets it after the OF finishes with it.. and possibly resets anything which we need to look for
03:34:03LloreanJdGordon: Okay, I'm booting the sansa by plugging in USB to wake it, and yeah, it refreshed the DB. =/
03:34:34JdGordonok, must have some logic wrong... or yours isnt in the same place as barry's :(
03:34:43LloreanOkay, sure, make a bootloader that'll dump the OF image that it's CRC32 checking.
03:35:33JdGordonrighto... hold up for it to dump
03:35:47JdGordonit puts it in /part.bin... so make sure to rename it between each dump :p
03:36:23JdGordonI found it easiest to view the diff by running both through hexdump -C then use diff on them
03:36:47LloreanJdGordon: How many sectors is it supposed to be dumping?

04:55:02DarkSoulHrml
04:55:14DarkSoulWiki says that rockbox has an mpeg player
04:55:31DarkSoul"MPEG video player"
04:55:43midgeyMPEG1 and MPEG2
04:56:30billytwowillyI think it's in early devel right now.
04:56:38billytwowillyquite early. Like no audio
04:56:43aliaskIt has audio.
04:56:56billytwowillyawesome. When did that happen?
04:56:57aliaskBut it might be out of sync with the video
04:57:05aliaskUh, maybe a month or two ago?
04:57:05midgeyit recently got volume changing too
04:57:08aliaskDon't remember exactly.
04:57:08billytwowillyoh right, that's it. My memory is worse than I thought;)
04:57:09LloreanAnd it doesn't refill the buffer, so you're limited to about 20mb of video.
04:57:38midgeylinuxstb is cooking up audio-video syncing
04:57:43DarkSouldo you have a ballpark idea of when default ipod movie capibility will be in
04:57:47billytwowillyNifty. Any work on supporting other formats like mp4/divx?
04:57:56DarkSoul.mp4
04:57:58aliaskDarkSoul: Possibly never
04:58:02DarkSoul:(
04:58:09aliaskThe iPod uses a special chip just for movies
04:58:21aliaskWhich we cannot use because there is absolutely NO documentation for it.
04:58:25DarkSoulmy poor borat movie will never be played though!
04:58:26Shaidthe broadcom chip, I'd love that specsheet.
04:58:39billytwowillysounds like some reverse engineering is in order;)
04:58:40LloreanDarkSoul: So convert it.
04:58:42Shaidsomeone should get employed at the Apple hardware department and smuggle us a copy
04:58:53billytwowillyyah, then you can't use that code...
04:59:06Shaidit also does all the 3d effects and has its own 64meg of ram
04:59:08DarkSoulYeah but then i need to get some fansy ipod ripping tool
04:59:25aliaskDarkSoul: Ripping tool?
04:59:27DarkSouland i cant find one that is free
04:59:36LloreanDarkSoul: If it's a video you bought from the iTunes store, then it's encrypted and Rockbox can't ever be able to play it, anyway.
04:59:54Shaidvideora is free
05:00
05:00:07Shaidand will make various video formats into something the OF will play.
05:00:11DarkSoulI ripped the movie from DVD
05:00:26DarkSoulinto... mp4 i think
05:00:44DarkSouli dont remember. that was last night. too long ago.
05:00:46LloreanMP4 is not a format.
05:00:51LloreanMP4 is a container.
05:00:54 Part toffe82
05:01:24LloreanIt can have a variety of different types of video in it. The most common for iPods is h.264, but other MPEG-4 codecs such as DivX can output videos they'll play too, I believe.
05:01:43DarkSoulSo is the tupperware in my cupboard
05:01:53DarkSoul:D
05:01:59midgeyi thought ipods could play MPEG-4 video with AAC audio or MP3 audio
05:02:12DarkSoulLet me open the DVD ripper
05:02:12LloreanYes, and if I said "I'm having what's in my tupperware for dinner" you'd have no clue what I meant.
05:02:28billytwowillyI would
05:02:32billytwowillyIt's macaroni
05:02:33Lloreanmidgey: Yup. H.264 is part of the MPEG-4 standard.
05:02:39DarkSoulH264
05:02:40DarkSoul:)
05:02:48billytwowillyor beef stroganoff. Depends which tupperware you pick in the fridge.
05:02:58midgeyregardless of what's in your tupperware its better than my dorm food...
05:03:23DarkSoulThats the only thing that the stupid program will rip to without crashing after every chapter
05:03:27DarkSoul:\
05:03:32DarkSoulNever pay for thing
05:04:00billytwowillyWOOHOO!
05:04:19DarkSoulSo anyways its Ripped into H264 Mp4.
05:04:23billytwowillya torrent I've had in my download queue for like 4 months finally finished!
05:05:03DarkSouland im guessing what ever video player for rockbox doesnt support H.264 does it
05:05:21LloreanRockbox only plays MPEG1 and 2, as we said earlier
05:05:40DarkSoul*hits it till it suports what he wants* <3
05:05:57billytwowillymaybe more if we start getting more cooperation like the austria microsystems stuff on the sansa. It would be cool if broadcom opened up.
05:06:01LloreanH.264, also known as AVC, is part of the MPEG-4 standard. It's also very highly compressed, so even should some MPEG-4 support happen in Rockbox, it's not guaranteed to include the AVC part of it.
05:06:16Lloreanbillytwowilly: Broadcom is known for being quite the opposite of cooperative.
05:06:24billytwowillyyah, I'm dreaming;)
05:07:01DarkSoulSo then my best bet is either
05:07:14DarkSoul1. Rip my videos off my ipod and convert.
05:07:18DarkSoulor
05:07:46LloreanDon't bother until Rockbox video support is at least working to the point that you can watch a 2 hour movie.
05:07:49DarkSoul2. Wait for Rockbox to be installed along with default ipod software and choose between which loads
05:08:02LloreanEven then, on the iPod video your best bet is to just boot into the original firmware whenever you want to watch a movie.
05:08:04aliaskDarkSoul: You can already do that
05:08:11midgeyyou can boot the regular Apple OS
05:08:32DarkSouli asked and someone told me i had to code that myself
05:08:44LloreanDarkSoul: You were told you'd have to code it defaulting to the original OS yourself.
05:09:01DarkSoulOh heck naw
05:09:04DarkSouli dont want that :P
05:09:29DarkSoulSo im guessing rtfm to find out how to do switch?
05:09:48LloreanIt'd be about time for you to be getting along to the manual, yes.
05:10:07DarkSoulbut i love talking to people :)
05:10:19DarkSoulI read installing and playing music
05:10:24DarkSoulthen i got bored
05:10:49DarkSoulonly 100+ pages to go!
05:12:24LloreanDarkSoul: You could just hit up the IpodFAQ wiki page, then go to the manual for anything not covered there.
05:13:26DarkSoulahh but thats why im here Llorean
05:13:49DarkSouli looked around for video/movie and junk and i found stuff about converting in linux.
05:13:50DarkSoul;D
05:14:18LloreanThe only official stuff about video should be the PluginMpegplayer page which is quite clear on supported formats.
05:14:32 Quit midgey ()
05:17:22DarkSoulUmm i cant find anything about switching to the original os...
05:19:04LloreanDarkSoul: Did you try the IpodFAQ page as I suggested?
05:19:11LloreanDarkSoul: It's also in section 3.1.2 of the manual
05:19:48LloreanDarkSoul: You could've found it by searching for "dual-boot", "boot", "original", "original firmware" and probably a few other terms.
05:19:54DarkSoulThe manual and faq are long, i tried using serch functions
05:20:04DarkSouli tried Apple OS, Original OS
05:20:08DarkSouland things like that
05:20:43LloreanYou'll notice Rockbox calls itself a firmware, and claims to replace existing firmwares.
05:20:48LloreanA solid suggestion that we refer to them as firmwares.
05:21:09LloreanAs well, with the faq, it's the 7th question down, if you'd simply read the list of question/links.
05:21:36LloreanLearning to navigate the documentation will greatly aid you in future use of the software.
05:21:59DarkSoulThe manuals not too bad, but the site's navigation seems backwards and confusing.
05:22:29LloreanWell, it is a Wiki, and improvements are welcome.
05:23:42DarkSoulOh wiki, im looking thought the index -> FAQ
05:24:10LloreanDarkSoul: I told you, specifically, the IpodFAQ wiki page.
05:24:17DarkSoulOh wait same thing
05:24:49DarkSoulI found out how to do it im trying to find out where in the wiki it says it x.x
05:25:09LloreanIt says it in the IpodFAQ wiki page, question #77
05:25:11Llorean7
05:26:24DarkSoulOkay i see where you are now
05:26:32DarkSouli was looking through generalFAQ
05:27:28LloreanWhen someone says the "Blah" wiki page, they mean the page specifically titled that, especially if it's more than one word concatenated into a single word.
05:28:03LloreanYou should, if they've typed it properly, be able to copy and paste the page name they've given you into the "Go to" box in the wiki
05:28:54DarkSoulI've never liked non-wikipedia wikis. :P
05:29:30DarkSoulOkay thanks for all the help Llorean.
05:29:46DarkSouli think i've got a grasp on most things for now.
05:30:05DarkSoul:o
05:31:23DarkSoulHey, now he's more a personal question.
05:31:44DarkSoulNah never mind

05:47:27DarkSoulguessing it gets a little annoying when you have to code the same thing for like 20 different times for each mp3 player
05:48:16LloreanI don't think the same thing has ever been coded more than 4 times, so far.

05:53:50*JdGordon finnaly back
05:54:01JdGordonLlorean: did you dump your partion a few times?
05:55:10*JdGordon reads his email
05:55:11LloreanJdGordon: Yes, I sent you an email. There's definite corruption taking place, it eventually became unable to boot.
05:55:21LloreanThe second email is the important one.
05:56:14JdGordonthe second doesnt have any attachments..
05:56:50JdGordonbut even still those addresses are all well and truly past the OF program section... thats into the settings section iirc
05:57:07JdGordonI'll experiment more tonight when I get mine back from my brother
05:57:17LloreanJdGordon: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-dev-archive-2007-03/att-0064/diff.txt
05:57:43LloreanThere's a definite pattern to the modified bits, and they're the only place that was different, and the OF wasn't booting anymore, and the CRC32 check was getting a different number after the values there changed.
05:58:25JdGordonthe dumping code was barry's... not mine...
05:58:49LloreanAh well.
05:58:56LloreanThe bootloader was made for me by you. :-P
05:59:02JdGordon007810E0 | 01 | 007810E0 | 00 | is the database rebuild which we know about...
05:59:27LloreanThe first change was just the five bytes (that one, and the next four listed), and the OF still booted.
05:59:33LloreanIt booted fine several times, with the CRC staying the same
05:59:45LloreanThen the CRC changed, the OF stopped booting, and I got the dump that had the remainder of the bytes changed.
06:00
06:00:32JdGordonyeah, all those addresses are in the NVPARAMS section, which shouldnt affect the checksum at all
06:01:47LloreanOdd.
06:02:18LloreanBut when those values changed like that, the OF no longer booted, so there's something wrong there anyway.
06:03:14***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
06:04:40JdGordonyeah.. hmm :p
06:06:47JdGordonyay :) found my sansa... I can get some debugging happening

06:13:52JdGordonwindows program... I thought that output was to the console :p
06:14:06LloreanSorry. :)
06:14:36JdGordonhow do i move the curson in the vkeyboard?
06:17:10blitheHrm, anyone know of a good linux cuesheet splitter?
06:17:48billytwowillywhat exactly is a cuesheet splitter?
06:18:23blitheTakes a single audio file, along with a cuesheet, and splits into several tracks based on the cuesheet.
06:19:01JdGordonrockbox has cuesheet support now.. so there is no need for this...
06:19:48blitheIndeed, but I still am looking for one.
06:20:11billytwowillynifty. Sounds usefull.
06:21:12JdGordonLlorean: it looks like is the OF corrupting it and not us...
06:21:19LloreanThe OF is corrupting itself?
06:22:17JdGordonI did 3 dumps without going into the OF and didnt get a crc error... first boot after going into OF it failed
06:23:09LloreanYou had it doing CRC checks on the OF while still booting Rockbox?
06:24:02JdGordonit ignores it.. but still checks... I saw that the crc was correct
06:24:15LloreanThat's not the Rockbox CRC?
06:24:35JdGordonthe crc rockbox calculates for the OF
06:24:56LloreanI just didn't know you could see the OF CRC except when booting the OF.
06:26:13JdGordonhmm? yeah, thats when its checked
06:26:19*JdGordon might be confusled
06:26:43LloreanThen how did you manage to check the OF CRC without booting the OF?
06:27:03JdGordoni did boot it... I then dumped it staright after...
06:27:22JdGordonI may be wrong... rockbox may be writing data to the 78xxxx section...
06:27:39JdGordonno... its not.. its definatly the OF
06:27:47billytwowillyrockbox sure is getting pretty.
06:27:56LloreanWhat I'm saying, is you said you booted Rockbox fine several times with the OF CRC being fine, but how did you check the OF CRC without booting the OF? You said the first OF boot had a bad CRC.
06:28:06LloreanI'm confused about what exactly you tested.
06:28:15JdGordonah, yes.. your right...
06:28:22JdGordoni dont know :p
06:28:31JdGordonI might be doing this all wrong..
06:29:21LloreanHeh
06:29:44LloreanI don't know, something's changing some data somewhere. At least we've got that much.
06:30:07LloreanThough the CRC shouldn't be changing from that data, you said.

06:42:28JdGordonIm assuming of course that sansapatcher moves it where its not expecting to be?
06:42:55LloreanYeah, sansapatcher moves it in a similar manner to how we me the iPod firmware, I believe.
06:43:17JdGordonWe could save the 780000 area to disk before booting the OF, then rewrite it next time rb loads
06:43:29LloreanSeems a bit... odd.
06:43:44LloreanThere's 20mb of space, I think there's a very, very, very large chunk of empty space we could possibly move the OF too.
06:44:16advcomp2019Has any one got close to finding out the bootloader on the R series?
06:44:22LloreanIt may be as simple as sneaking it into a different area.
06:44:49JdGordonit still doesnt make sense that the crc changes tho

07:44:28advcomp2019Another thing, is Rockbox going to let you play music while charging the Sansa thru the computer once it comes out for the R series?
07:49:42JdGordonyes
07:52:32advcomp2019I meant to say play music on the Sansa while it is connected to the computer.
07:54:29JdGordonnot while its connected as a drive... but if tis just charging then yes
07:54:31DarkSoulI'm guessing that the battery icon where the battery constantly is filling means its charging and then it fills and stops
07:54:41JdGordonit shuold
07:55:20DarkSoulYeah reading the ipod manual it'll say that its charged for the original firmware
07:55:42DarkSoulbut thats only 80% for addition power your supost to leave it plugged in for longer to get the best performance.

08:02:13DarkSoulit says its full when theres still another 20% or so it changes.
08:02:37LinusNwhat says it's full?
08:02:56LinusNyou mean that the apple firmware says it's full?
08:02:57DarkSoulThe icon in the top right
08:03:15DarkSoultheres a changing and full icon for apple firmware in the top right hand corner
08:03:17***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
08:03:21DarkSoulthat tells if the ipod is charging or not
08:04:00DarkSoulif you read the manual when it says with the icon that its done charging in reality it keeps changing, because theres another 20% still uncharged
08:04:23LinusNand in rockbox there is only the animation, which is hard to see when the battery gets nearly full
08:04:46DarkSoultheres 2
08:04:55DarkSoul1 that has a battery filling up over and over
08:05:04DarkSoulthen 1 with the battery staying at full.
08:05:14DarkSoulI was wondering if there was another one after
08:05:18DarkSouli was told there wasnt.
08:05:50LinusNhmmm, are you talking about the wps?
08:06:22DarkSoulwps doesnt effect the default "Do not disconnect"

08:06:43DarkSoulYes it does.
08:06:51DarkSoulthe rockbox is different then the normal
08:07:28LinusNno, it is still the Apple disk mode
08:07:47amiconnLinusN: Do you have an iriver equipped with wires for current measurement?

08:50:08amiconnLinusN: I had an idea how it might be possible to improve runtime on the archos fm recorder and v2.
08:50:28LinusNshoot
08:50:42amiconnUuic we don't use ata poweroff on them even though the hardware allows it, because some voltage measurements don't work when ata power is off
08:50:46amiconn*Iiuc
08:51:03JdGordonBagder: ping?
08:51:20LinusNamiconn: you have a better memory than i do :-)
08:51:49amiconnBut those voltage measurements don't happen often, so if we would set the disk to 'power on in standby', then we could enable power, measure, and disable again
08:52:08amiconnFor an actual disk access we would have to send the spinup command after powering on
08:52:18LinusNworth a try...
08:52:24amiconnI can't verify my theory because I don't have an fm or v2
08:52:41LinusNoh, more work for me... thanks amiconn.. :-)

09:33:22*B4gder tries his german impression
09:33:50linuxstbJdGordon: 0x80000 contains a 512-byte (0x200 byte) header. Then the Rockbox bootloader MI4 image starts at 0x80200, then the OF MI4 image is written immediately after the bootloader MI4 image.

09:41:24JdGordon00783908
09:42:01linuxstbIs this with the SVN bootloader or the version modified to do USB detection?
09:42:03JdGordonwhich is in the nv settings section and shouldnt affect the crc at all ?

09:46:09linuxstbJdGordon: Yes, if that section is > than the sum I stated above.

09:48:57JdGordonlinuxstb: llorearn tried a build which ignored the crc check and after a few boots it corrupted his OF, so we were thinking that maybe the OF doesnt like being run from wherever it is.. does that seem possible?
09:49:11GodEaterthe only one I'm worried about is the warning in wizard_pages.cpp which is a warning about control getting to the end of a non-void function. I've made an assumption about what the default return should be - but I could be wrong.

09:54:39GodEaterthere's a check in there which the function always assumes is passed, and that's the only place there's a return statement. There should be one outside that too to shut the compiler up.

09:58:55Stefani have another question: how do i use bitmaps in plugins?
09:59:25B4gderStefan: there are numerous examples, try one of the games
09:59:46linuxstbStefan: You put them in apps/plugins/bitmaps/native/ and add them to apps/plugins/bitmaps/native/SOURCES. As B4gder said, look at the games for examples.
09:59:50B4gderstd|denis: and it depends a little on what target
09:59:57tucozlinuxstb,on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ only 2.6 is listed for edgy

10:00:38linuxstbtucoz: OK, thanks. Not good news though...
10:00:50Stefanlinuxstb: and how do i load them into my plugin, and for 65k color display how should i save the bitmaps?
10:01:13std|denislinuxstb: mmm.. i mean: which audio format should i use to get longest playback time

10:02:33linuxstbStefan: Look at the other plugins for examples. The bitmaps need to be .bmp files, and you should save them as 24-bit.

10:04:29sikor_sxei put music on my sansa and it is recognized by the original firmware, however it does not show up in rockbox database
10:04:31linuxstbstd|denis: I doubt there is much difference between the various formats - the biggest factor would be bitrate. Lower bitrates mean less disk reading, so longer battery lifetime. So choose a codec that sounds good at low bitrates to your ears.
10:04:51linuxstbsikor_sxe: What format is the music? MP3, WMA, ...
10:05:02sikor_sxemp3
10:05:15linuxstbAnd you've followed the instructions in the manual for using the database?

10:16:35linuxstbjhMikeS: I think it would be a good idea to combine the codec buffer with the codec malloc buffer, but I don't know how much we could decrease the combined size by...
10:16:42pondlifejhMikeS: IMHO, one thing for the future should be the total seperation of buffering (as in disk -> buffer) and playback (buffer->PCM). These should be able to run freely and much more simply.
10:16:54sikor_sxepondlife: thanks, works now
10:17:43jhMikeSlinuxstb: surely the overhead could be cut to less than the current 512KB :) Maybe the codec buffer would only need to be say 100KB larger
10:18:54linuxstbjhMikeS: Yes, I'm sure it can be less, but I'm just saying I don't know by how much... Lear may be a good person to talk to, as he's the main person working on both vorbis and AAC, which I think are the most memory-hungry codecs.
10:19:16pondlifeIIRC he was after more memory for vorbis :(
10:20:02linuxstbWas that just for files encoded with very old encoders?
10:20:09jhMikeSwell, vorbis runs on an iFP with only a 100K malloc buffer but it has a simple free mechanism which is basically a stack. not sure if it still overflows
10:20:18 Part tucoz
10:20:51pondlifeI don't know much if anything, but there are some vorbis file types we don't currently support because they would need more memory.
10:20:56 Join BigBambi [0] (n=Alex@host-144-219.ch.le.ac.uk)
10:21:04pondlifeAnd there may have been a plan to add this support
10:21:39GodEaterthere's more than one vorbis filetype ?
10:21:57jhMikeSpondlife: and what does "total separation" mean? thinking about this tells me the "layers" are rather thin at that
10:22:13linuxstbGodEater: IIRC, it's just different versions of the encoder generated files with different memory requirements to decode.
10:22:28pondlifeIt may have improved but when I last looked, there were many dependencies between the buffering and playback parts.
10:23:02pondlifeThe buffering shared a thread and so had to have a way to abort and resume from the right place.... it could be much simpler.
10:23:05linuxstbAnyone know if any of the students applying to the SoC expressed an interest in the playback engine?
10:23:14jhMikeSimo, worse dependencies are things with playlists and now cuesheets
10:23:40B4gderlinuxstb: none of the two current applications do
10:24:02pondlifejhMikeS: Those are just common inputs to the buffering and playback threads, no?

10:25:32pondlifeaudio also deals with playback/de-buffering, right?
10:25:39jhMikeSyes
10:25:39linuxstbGodEater: No, the firmware layout is very slightly different. ipodpatcher shouldn't detect the 2nd gen Nano as a ipod.
10:25:48B4gderlinuxstb: register as a mentor and you can participate in commenting the applications ;-)
10:25:49jhMikeSno, codec thrad de-buffers
10:25:56pondlifeOK.
10:26:03GodEaterlinuxstb: in that case I've no clue how the genius in the apple forum has managed to "install rockbox" on his 2nd gen.
10:26:16jhMikeSaudio thread writes to it, codec thread reads from it
10:26:39pondlifeWell there's some shared variables that are likely causing the current problems when the track detail buffers wrap.
10:27:04pondlifeIt's really not simple at the moment - the interfaces need to be tighter.
10:27:10jhMikeSprobably, it should be cleanly queued
10:27:18linuxstbGodEater: maybe confusion with 2GB and 2nd gen?
10:27:37pondlifeBasically, I mean playback.c should be split into audio and codec halves, with no shared vars.

10:30:37jhMikeSEvery iteration of cleanup brings it closer to. Really don't think it needs a scratch rewrite. At least revisions are testable incrementally that way.

11:26:52preglowand that sucks quite badly, as a matter of fact
11:27:02jhMikeSyes
11:27:46preglowwe could always copy to an iram buffer before dsp if it's going to do a sufficient number of passes over it
11:27:54preglowbut just using what the codec spat out is easier indeed
11:28:16jhMikeSthat's what I was thinking...memcpy is very efficient
11:28:55preglowthat'd also mean we need to use yet more iram for codecs :/
11:29:14preglowunless we could devise of some scheme to reuse the codec's output buffer....
11:29:44preglowsome evil scheme that'd be too
11:30:13jhMikeSWe already have the buffer in dsp.c to copy a packet to. I also need an iram stack cause another thread will be to be in the core. Perhaps some can be chipped away from the main stack and the dsp requirements can be kept low (using a single pointer to a struct for each stage).
11:31:02jhMikeSThe codec will have long ago passed the data to a channel and will be decoding something else so I don't know there.
11:32:03preglowi don't think dsp parameter passing is what'll choke stack usage anyway
11:32:05jhMikeSThe thread should have no bearing on USB connections either

11:36:31mattzzbarrywardell: the first numbers are a linear curve what is not what I will expect from real measurements but it is a good starting point at least
11:36:33jhMikeSI think the main stack is a little on the big side and can give up a small % to dsp :)
11:36:58barrywardellmattzz: so you just have the empty and full battery measurements actually done?
11:37:20barrywardelland now have to do a battery-bench to get the in-between bits?
11:37:34mattzzbarrywardell: yep, but with a perfectly wrong battery scale factor so I will re-do the measurements

11:37:56jhMikeSI'll be counting the bytes when doing this. I wonder what the scheduler will suck off it. Wish I could also keep interrupts from using it.
11:38:04barrywardellhaha, ok
11:38:47mattzzbarrywardell: yep, I was thinking about setting up a small wiki page to collect some real-life numbers because the fully charged voltages read out directly by the ADC are pretty interesting

11:39:23barrywardellmattzz: yeah, sure. go for it!
11:39:38preglowjhMikeS: well, you CAN keep interrupts from using it :>
11:40:23barrywardelldan_a: OK. have you seen the work on sansapatcher?
11:40:31jhMikeSI don't think disabling them is even remotely realistic

11:54:12jhMikeSso hrm...LL is a very sensitive thing to implement...but so beneficial to have running. The DSP threads job would probably ential reading the each channel stream, processing a packet, then sending that to DMA. Anything sent to DMA would play out in full (no pausing it).
11:55:28linuxstbjhMikeS: I haven't been following your LL work, but does it mean changing the PCM buffer to 32-bit and converting to 16-bit at the last moment?
11:55:29B4gderdan_a: shouldn't that new framebuffer be made static ?

12:00:37jhMikeSlinuxstb: depends on what's expected...I think samplerate switching would lead to horrible results when changing the hardware.
12:00:39B4gderin my world, pdas are dying
12:00:47Windows_XI like crossfeed, a lot.
12:00:56Windows_XAnd only rockbox is what I can find for portable device
12:00:57preglowjhMikeS: oh?

12:01:03linuxstb(e.g.)
12:01:47linuxstbBut obviously there are problems with crossfeed - crossfeed would probably need to imply resampling everything.
12:01:54preglowcrossfade, yes
12:01:56jhMikeSThat will be glitchy...
12:02:03linuxstbArgh, yes, crossfade...
12:02:14jhMikeSuh huh :)
12:02:22Windows_XI refer to crossfeed for emulating speakers environment to headphones

12:04:38linuxstbjhMikeS: Yes, that would work.
12:05:09jhMikeSand say we have a 64k wav, but the hw only supports 44.1 and 88.2...what then?
12:05:13linuxstbBut maybe it would confuse the user if only some tracks crossfaded
12:06:03preglowjhMikeS: 88.2
12:06:11preglowjhMikeS: we never want to downsample unless we have no choice

12:49:51linuxstbjhMikeS: Yes, but unless you change your bootloader, the one in .rockbox will take preference
12:50:36jhMikeSok, custom bootloader...was hoping it would just do the opposite of now
12:51:44B4gderbarrywardell: on second thoughts, I think it should work without modification since the current check is doen in the build tree and doesn't depend on the zip's layout
12:51:49nlsjhMikeS: make a script that moves the file to root :-)

12:54:17JdGordonBagder: I'm soo close to getting this going... i can get recovery mode back but cant mount it :'(
12:54:50nlsjhMikeS: jeps, but if we made it default to the one in root we would brake the insrallation for allusers that didn't delete the file in the root when they updated...
12:56:21jhMikeSyeah...I do understand that...but I'm still complaining...:P
12:56:41B4gderit will break the size table
12:57:13B4gderbut it should be fairly easy to adapt in the same way the buildzip patch does it

13:07:04[1DB]OconelI arrived to put rockbox on my sansa, but I can't load the old firmware ?
13:07:37B4gder[1DB]Oconel: really, if you can't follow the instructions on the wiki page I don't think we can guide you any better
13:07:46B4gderand I think you're better off waiting for the install tool
13:08:06B4gderJdGordon: I wouldn't try that
13:08:25B4gderJdGordon: it needs to be stored in there using a fine FAT fs
13:08:31JdGordonok
13:09:04linuxstbJdGordon: The "nsec 0" looks bad - assuming that indicates that the device has 0 sectors.

13:12:33JdGordonSo we could put anything there and not really worry about it killing it any more?
13:12:48B4gderyes, I believe so
13:12:58JdGordone.g a modified rockbox which can write a correct bootloader to the disk?
13:13:12B4gderpossibly, yes
13:13:25B4gderbut I don't see how you'd have a better chance to get that to work
13:13:32B4gderthan the actual BL that is made to do it
13:14:14JdGordonbecuase recovery mode doesnt seem to work... but if we could put the disk back the way it should be we could be ok
13:14:43B4gderperhaps the need for that extended timeout is a sign of something bad that is what prevents you from using recovery mode properly

14:01:30JdGordonso why did it work sometimes and fail others?
14:01:32nlslinuxstb: Fixed, ith was using a hardcoded name instead of \firmwarefilename, that's why I didn't find it before...
14:01:34JdGordonor did it always fail?
14:01:58barrywardellJdGordon: mi4header.length is the length excluding the padding, mi4header.mi4size is the full file size

14:02:29barrywardellso it passed if the memory between mi4header.length and mi4header.mi4size happened to be 0's

14:04:42JdGordonfark, im going to be so dead tomorow.. waking up in 7 hours :p
14:04:45linuxstbYes, I think the aim should be to get sansapatcher released asap - future bootloader upgrades are easy once everyone has done their initial install with sansapatcher.

14:07:13linuxstbBased on past USB experience on portalplayer, I think it needs a lot of testing...

14:13:28linuxstbSo 0x80000+0x200+bootloader_size is the offset of the MI4 header for the original firmware.
14:13:37JdGordonhmm... so the database byte is probably contstant from that then :p
14:14:01linuxstbNo, that has nothing to do with what sansapatcher is modifying. (I hope)

14:18:42barrywardelldoes the driver not already do that?
14:19:33dan_aIt does it at the start of lcd_init_device - maybe it should be moved closer to the place where we are changing the address

14:57:55linuxstbI almost did that in sansapatcher, but was lazy...
14:58:33barrywardellthat would indeed be very nice. would I just increment the key my mi4header.length-4 then do the decryption?
14:58:59linuxstbI'm not sure how the aa55aa55 is aligned - it could be split between two blocks...

15:04:46linuxstbDomonoky: I forget who, but someone mentioned problems recently when trying to install rbutil itself on the device. Have you tested that feature recently?
15:08:02Domonokyno i havent tried it recently.. will test it..

15:09:35linuxstbI'm not sure how it works, but you may need to know that on the Mac, "rbutil.app" is a directory, not a folder, and the rbutil file itself is in something like rbutil.app/Contents/MacOS/ (I forget exactly). So I guess that feature is broken on the Mac...
15:09:45preglowDomonoky: rbutil works here now, btw
15:09:59linuxstbSo it's now unicode-safe?
15:10:23Domonokyit should now be unicode safe
15:10:39Domonokyand i will hav a look how this install function works..
15:10:51preglowi haven't tried it much, though
15:10:58preglowgot it to crash a couple of times in theme downloading
15:11:03preglowbut that might have been write priv stuff
15:11:37Domonokypreglow: please fill a bugreport, or fix it :-)
15:11:44linuxstbDomonoky: Can the rbutil.ini file updated from a version on download.rockbox.org?
15:11:54linuxstb^insert a "be" where appropriate
15:12:47Domonokytheoretically that should be possible.. but it isnt implemented
15:16:45GodEaterDomonoky: did you see my patch to fix the compiler warnings ?
15:17:39Domonokyno, will have a look at it..
15:18:06GodEaterFS #6865
15:18:14Domonokyah.. thx
15:18:50GodEaternp
15:19:46Domonokyi also fixed the warnings, but thats in my tree with the non-ready sansapatcher integration..so i will comiikt your fix :-)
15:20:02Domonokycommit.. :-)
15:20:03linuxstbDomonoky: Do you need me to do anything to sansapatcher?
15:20:26linuxstbIt seems that sansapatcher itself is fine, all problems so far have been bootloader-related.
15:20:52Domonokynot, really, i had to rename a few more functions in sansapatcher.. and introduce a #ifndef RBUTIL
15:21:45*linuxstb hates it when people torrent things and then don't bother to seed.... </offtopic>
15:22:05GodEaterlinuxstb: amen to that
15:22:07Domonokybut rbutil needs more work to use the sansapatcher, (its integrated, but UI doesnt use it jet, those wizardpages are annoying me.. )

16:00:56TheSphinX^i had 12840 installed and updated to 12845 or do you update every build or until you sleep?

16:02:30jhMikeSTheSphinX^: I do have an x5 and had no such thing happen. I used it on and off all day a couple days ago to check everything.
16:02:46Domonokyso while downloading ? strange..
16:02:54linuxstbGodEater: Does SVN rbutil compile without warnings for you now?
16:02:55GodEaterDomonoky: for reference, no such segfault here
16:02:59preglowDomonoky: a SetLabel call is what messes up

16:06:15jhMikeSTheSphinX^: I'm not sure how sound would degrade gradually. So tell me what's up. I'm usually on the alert for a few days after making changes like that. Tell me what settings you have on. Try resetting them to see if the problem disappears.
16:06:22preglowbah
16:06:27GodEaterhow odd - I don't get those warnings at all
16:06:30preglowthe occasional hungarian notation in rbutil :/
16:06:36TheSphinX^jhMikeS 1 moment
16:07:23linuxstbGodEater: gcc version? I've got 4.0.4
16:08:06GodEater4.1.2
16:08:07Domonokyand these are valid warnings... :-) so i will fix it shortly :-)
16:08:51GodEaterclearly 4.1.2 doesn't think they're valid =/
16:09:22GodEaternot a single bloody theme on the gigabeat pages uses the right dir structure in the .zip file it seems
16:09:43preglowDomonoky: a target list with collapsable categories would be nicer than the current one
16:10:07Domonokyrbutil try to check for the right structure.. :-) ( it checks if there is a .rockbox dir)
16:10:17GodEaterhmm
16:10:22GodEaterI think it's getting it wrong then
16:10:33GodEaterI just checked one of the files it downloaded, and it looked fine to me
16:11:06Domonokyhm, it could be missing a fix, its bad to have too many svn dirs :-) i will try :-)
16:11:12preglowDomonoky: the bug is in wxThemesPage::OnListBox
16:11:25preglowDomonoky: in the SetLabel call
16:11:27preglowsegfaults
16:12:07preglowhmm
16:12:23Domonokyoki, i will have a look..
16:12:40preglowwait a min
16:12:41preglowit worked now
16:12:48DomonokyGodEater: on windows installing gigabeat themes works..
16:12:58preglowit depends on the target, it seems
16:14:18Domonokyhm, it could be some themes are missing some thing in the list i download, (which theme is it ? )
16:14:20preglowDomonoky: depends on target, if i chose ipods, it crashes, h10, for example, it works fine
16:14:28GodEaterDomonoky: I just tried Cabbie
16:14:35GodEaterwhich is a fairly decent one
16:14:50preglowtry nano yourself and see if that works
16:14:59GodEaterthe .zip file looks fine structurally
16:15:33preglowalso, the image preview window should not be resizable
16:15:34GodEaterpreglow: same here
16:15:40preglowand the download progress bar is a bit wide :)
16:15:43GodEatergigabeat is fine - iPod nano crashes
16:15:46DomonokyGodEater, preglow: on windows this works.. i will fire up colinux
16:15:55preglowDomonoky: nano and ipod video too?
16:15:57GodEaterpreglow: hahah - also the same opinion on the progress bar ;)
16:16:23GodEaterpreglow: yep - ipod Video crashes too
16:16:23Domonokyyes, on windows both work..
16:17:01*GodEater builds with debugging on
16:17:22Domonokyand the progressbar is the same on every download, so its not good to change the width
16:17:35Domonokybecause other downloads are bigger..
16:17:48preglowbigger?
16:17:58preglowthe progress bar size depends on file size in kb? :)
16:18:08Domonokyfor example downloading rockbox..
16:18:17preglowjust make it 500 pixels wide everywhere, for example
16:18:23preglowif it works for web browsers, it really should work for us
16:18:28Domonoky:-)
16:18:34preglowthe progress bar is bloody 1400 pixels wide here

18:36:51preglowhow does the debug screen show the wrong info, btw?
18:37:17Slasherithere are many _possible_ issues left, but currently it's running quite well. For example possible filesystem corruption in worst case if both cores are writing to the fs
18:38:55preglowwell, only the first should do that, of course
18:38:57Slasheripreglow: debug screen thinks the process is on the cop because the thread has been allocated from the cop's thread pool (i am now unifying both pools). But scheduler's thread blocking function was buggy and moved thread from cop back to main core
18:39:03Slasheriand debug screen does not know that
18:39:16Slasheripreglow: true, but with recording that can be an issue

18:50:41amiconnSlasheri: Why do recording and codec threads need to be on the same core for recording, but audio and codec threads for playback do not?
18:50:58Slasheriamiconn: audio & codec threads needs to be too
18:51:05Slasherithere is just too much dependency
18:51:18amiconnOk, and how do you solve the fs access there?
18:51:56Slasheriamiconn: mutexes are used for ata, but codec is only reading data so cached buffers are not likely to cause fs corruption
18:52:15Slasherijust read data to codec can be corrupted in worst case but that should be the case on the main core
18:52:38Slasheribut things chance is codec is trying to write also
18:52:50Slasherithen cached buffers are likely to cause more serious trouble
18:52:52amiconnhmm.
18:53:21Slasheri*that should not
18:54:08Slasheri*is=if, argh typos
18:54:51*amiconn thinks cop threads should never access the file system
18:55:15amiconnAnd the thread(s) doing the buffering should run on main
18:55:16Slasherithat would be ideal, but not likely to happen with the current codec system

18:58:05Slasherithat would help a lot. But iirc nobody has yet figured out how that can be done
18:58:54amiconnOr mark certain sdram areas as uncachable
18:59:06Slasheribut probably we could flush the whole cache too if that's the only way to do it
18:59:29Slasherifor example after entering specific mutex, flush the cache
18:59:38preglowamiconn: the last is possible, in a way
18:59:55preglowamiconn: by accesing the sdram areas in question by aliased addresses
19:00
19:00:05preglowhrm, that wouldn't exactly make it uncached, though
19:00:31preglowunless the cache is actually configured to not cache those addresses at all, but we don't know that

19:16:41LloreanBut shouldn't the cutoff be 60hz?
19:16:50jhMikeSIt's 0HZ
19:16:55Llorean0hz causes symptoms exactly as he described
19:17:00amiconnHmm, my latest ipod rtt shows that dual-core operation decreases runtime... by about 5% on mini2g
19:17:01LloreanIt's impossible to set, but it was the default briefly.
19:17:23amiconnProbably because of the improper dual-core scheduling...
19:17:25LloreanThat was fixed, but if he hadn't cleared his settings since then, he'd still have it set, if the EQ was on, it would cause that problem.
19:17:26jhMikeSWhat was the fix? Why's it showing again?
19:17:35jhMikeSit is
19:17:35LloreanThe fix was changing the default back to 60hz
19:17:41preglowif eq code works at all when sent 0hz as cutoff, it's pure luck
19:17:51jhMikeSReally I think settings should be range checked at load
19:17:56LloreanBut people who hadn't cleared their settings since the 'fix' would still have it set at 0hz, and get funny behaviour on the EQ
19:18:07LloreanjhMikeS: I agree.
19:18:08jhMikeSLlorean: Thanks for saving much of my time :)
19:18:10*amiconn thought the new settings code would check bounds, and reset a setting to default if it's out of bounds
19:18:57jhMikeSLlorean: so what should I do? reset settings and retry the config I got?
19:19:22preglowjust set that setting to 60
19:19:24amiconnHmm, or perhaps the code that takes the setting should do this check (eq in this case)
19:19:38LloreanjhMikeS: Or just set the cutoff to 60hz, or anything but 0.
19:19:41jhMikeSIt's not like we have header with nice ranges and defaults
19:19:41preglowamiconn: bounds checking sounds better
19:19:52preglowthe general case, that is
19:20:00jhMikeSright....I just clicked it to 20 and it all came back
19:21:03preglowi also happen to think 20 is a bit too low
19:21:14preglow40 is borderline
19:21:16jhMikeSsome settings might be better clamped...hard to say. both options should exist and I think there's plenty of flags left to specify that stuff

19:31:56LloreanHahaha
19:32:29amiconnjhMikeS: Doom crashes if voice is enabled. Just voice file present is no problem
19:32:49jhMikeSamiconn: not on x5 last I looked
19:33:01amiconnThis is due to doom using the core menu api.
19:33:20amiconnDuuno whether pacbox doesn't use that, never tried it...
19:33:30jhMikeSmakes sense...that will invoke the voice codec and trash dooms ram/iram
19:34:27LloreanCan we make Doom refuse to launch if voice is active?
19:34:58amiconnWe need a method to programmatically disable voice temporarily, for plugins using iram
19:35:02LloreanWhile I've played one first person shooter designed for the blind, Doom wasn't it.

19:36:29amiconnThat simple?

19:37:07*amiconn would like if voice could continue to function during recording on swcodec
19:37:52jhMikeSit probably could with work...been in my head. Would we like voiced mixed with monitoring or to just pop in and monitoring off?

19:38:03amiconnjhMikeS: The plugin would have to remember the setting and reset it properly on exit I guess?
19:38:07jhMikeSyes
19:38:19jhMikeSthat's all recording does
19:38:47webguest69hello there
19:38:56amiconnFor backlight it's easier as it's actually set by a (firmware level function). No need to change the global_settings entry, and hence the remembering is automatic
19:39:16webguest69Hi
19:40:00amiconnjhMikeS: I guess mixing in would be difficult, and even impossible with s/pdif monitoring of an s/pdif recording source, as that's pass-through
19:40:07jhMikeSamiconn: yes, it's all just that atm
19:40:54jhMikeSwell, we could play the received pcm back out but the rates won't nescessarily match...definitely not for 48k and we can't play that out

19:49:23i6zlalright, what's the best way to remove my current build?
19:49:41LloreanYou just overwrite it.

19:50:02i6zlalright. i'll try it and tell you how it goes.
19:50:37LloreanActually, that won't fix it.
19:50:44i6zlreally?
19:50:47LloreanBecause you'd need a new bootloader too.
19:50:52i6zloh.
19:51:01LloreanHeck, I have no way of knowing which bootloader you have installed, because you used some unofficial installer.
19:51:10LloreanReally, you should always be following the instructions in the manual.
19:51:39i6zlyou're right, that's my fault, uhh, i can remove the old one real fast, i did it earlier.
19:51:52LloreanWell, I don't think there's a bootloader with the new code yet.
19:52:16i6zlalright, well then i'll just wait for a little bit.
19:52:32i6zlits not really too bad of a problem
19:52:35LloreanBut you might want to try the current official bootloader anyway.
19:52:54i6zlhmm where is that found at? manual again?
19:52:57LloreanYes

21:10:41amiconnPP is pretty much a special case, since all other targets are single core

21:44:43LloreanXavierGr: And it's display is HORRIBLE without backlight.
21:44:55amiconnBut I don't like wasting it
21:45:04XavierGryeah but why not to use backlight when you see the screen?
21:45:18amiconnBoth the H300 and the X5 lcd are pitch black without backlight
21:45:29Lloreanamiconn: The Gigabeat isn't, but it's very close to it.
21:45:39XavierGreven on my H100 when I look at the screen on cloudy days I will turn up the backlight
21:45:49hcsgigabeat is visible in full sunlight
21:45:51XavierGrhell the backlight turns on itself when I press a button :p
21:46:00amiconnXavierGr: Because I would have to press a button to make it light up. It's certainly more convenient to be able to read the display at a quick glance without touching the unit
21:46:24XavierGramiconn: the only time that you need to read the display is while navigating or while a new song changes
21:46:35XavierGrand that's why caption backlight exists (IMHO always)

22:42:05Aloneaok, trying to get rockbox to compile, but it keeps complaining about the arm-elf-gcc. I am adding some extra gcc packages in hopes it will finally work (on linux). Do I have to redo rockboxdev.sh?
22:42:16Bagderthey have different "polynomials"
22:42:23Bagderand the firmware one uses tables for that
22:42:30Bagderso it not usable for sansa
22:42:33Bagderit is
22:43:01Redbreva_newbie: On the page you were pointed to, read the 3rd paragraph of the introduction... "To play a video file"
22:43:14BagderAlonea: redo? did you run it once already?
22:43:44amiconnThe pp bootloader crc32 calculates the table at runtime
22:43:51Bagderyes
22:44:01Bagderwith a different polynomial
22:44:08AloneaBagder: yeah. and I tried compiling again, and it said no arm-elf-gcc, so adding gcc packages besides the basic ones. Will I have to delete the folder it made and do it all over again?
22:44:20amiconnIs the polynomial chosen by us, or does it have to match something?
22:44:33bluebrotherNico_P: why did you reject my patch for adding a rwps to the zezayer theme?
22:44:40Bagderamiconn: the sansa one has to match, so that it makes the same crc32 the mi4 uses
22:44:48amiconnaha
22:44:52bluebrotherit's incomplete in its current state (and I will look into it once I find time)
22:44:53BagderI'm not sure if the firmware one needs to match anything
22:45:23barrywardellfor consistency, it should match the same one as the OF
22:45:32BagderAlonea: and you set the path to the installed compiler after rockboxdev.sh ran?
22:45:52amiconnThe firmware one doesn't, but if we change the polynomial there, (1) the database audio file crcs become invalid, (2) the archos rom crcs would need to be recalculated
22:46:07amiconncrc32 is used on archos to detect the boot rom type
22:46:38AloneaBagder: I don't know how to. I didn't see any intructions in the wiki for us poor linux users who actually don't know everything. I think last time I just had to run that and it worked fine. (i just reinstalled my entire system...)

22:53:28amiconnHmm, it *only* has that
