00:00:55DefineBytehmm i think i miscounted xD

00:01:23LloreanIn that case, there's a lot of steps to installing RBUtil, creating the log, etc, as well
00:01:33DefineByteyou want a clueless user to delve into the underbelly of RB?
00:01:36LloreanEither way, one requires an additional program to be run or available, the other does not.
00:01:45LloreanDefineByte: How is "copying one file" delving into the underbelly?

00:02:10DefineBytethe steps for installing RBUtil have already occured. it is the only supported method of installation (in the future)
00:02:18LloreanYes
00:02:27LloreanBut again, there's no guarantee it's on the computer they're using
00:02:44LloreanSomeone's player dies at work, they seek help during lunch, for example
00:02:46rasherThere's no guarantee it *can* run rbutil
00:02:51 Quit BHSPitMonkey (Connection timed out)
00:02:59LloreanThere's no sense in REQUIRING RBUtil if it's not *necessary*, and in this case, it's not.
00:03:19KalthareIncidentally, is it intentional that rbutil isn't included in the tarballs?
00:03:21DefineBytejeez, what is the point of RBUtil then?
00:03:22jac0bI am having trouble building a rb environment on ubuntu
00:03:25LloreanThe whole point of Rockbox is to not tether your player to a specific piece of software, and we shouldn't tether support to that piece of software beyond any files created during installation
00:03:31LloreanDefineByte: It's a bloody INSTALLER
00:03:38jac0bchecking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no
00:03:38jac0bconfigure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
00:03:39DefineBytehaha easy :p
00:03:44LloreanDefineByte: How many more times do you need to be told that, seriously?
00:03:49jac0bthat is the error I am getting
00:03:55DefineByteso why is it called rbutil then and not rbinstaller?
00:03:55 Quit petur ("Zzzzz")
00:04:02obojac0b: have you installed the build-essential package?
00:04:07LloreanDefineByte: Because it can also create voice files, talk clips, install themes...
00:04:27jac0bwhere is that
00:04:32DefineBytehmmm i thought it was just an installer. my mistake :)
00:04:39oboit's a ubuntu package... so apt-get/synatpic etc
00:04:48jac0boh okay
00:04:54LloreanDefineByte: Its purpose is to be an installer.
00:05:04DefineBytebut... :)
00:05:05LloreanDefineByte: But it serves several secondary functions.
00:05:21LloreanEven if it does serve other functions, none of those is "be required for support requests."
00:05:22DefineBytelike formatting support requests? no? why not?
00:05:36DefineByteand why is that?
00:05:43LloreanI've told you, several times
00:05:48LloreanIt may not be available when the request is being made.
00:05:56LloreanExplain to me why, if software is not necessary, we should MAKE it necessary?
00:06:31jac0bthat should be added to the wiki for

00:07:08delYsidbesides, qt is not accessible, there are people on that planet that can not even use rbutil.
00:07:13LloreanDefineByte: You said the formal support process should include an unnecessary step.
00:07:13Kaltharejac0b: it's specific to Debian and Ubuntu.
00:07:32BagderdelYsid: it is accessible, or at least it can be
00:07:46DefineByteno the FORMAL request procedure should require it. informal requests would obviously...not
00:07:46jac0bmaybe at least a note saying to install that for debian based os's
00:07:46DefineByte:)
00:07:56delYsidBagder: no, I tell you, reality is different. Trolltech is doing pr, but there is no working solution yet.
00:08:03Bagderjac0b: it is mentioned in the wiki already
00:08:04LloreanDefineByte: Why should we have to ask "Give me this", find out their log contains outdated cfg settings, then make a second request, rather than requesting exactly what we need up front?
00:08:30LloreanDefineByte: Why should the formal request be made more complicated by the additional chance of unavailable information?
00:08:44DefineBytewhere are you getting this outdated log from? you were the one who started all this paste the log business. :)
00:08:51LloreanDefineByte: You really, really need to stop making things more complicated. Yes, RBUtil doing it might be *slightly* easier, but it also add a degree of complexity that invites failure.
00:08:52rasherBagder: The fact taht FILES need to include FILES is a bit... odd
00:09:00Bagderhehe, yeah
00:09:13LloreanDefineByte: I explicitly said I do NOT WANT IT PASTED. You're the one who mentioned pasting it to the forums.
00:09:24DefineBytehow is running one command more complicated than changing rockbox settings and copying two files neither of which you've never encountered before?
00:09:27LloreanDefineByte: And I don't appreciate you claiming otherwise.

00:10:56delYsidno, qt is not accessible right now.
00:11:01delYsidi would know if it were.
00:11:04DefineByteyou suggested attaching an old log file, i suggested attaching a newly generated support ticket :)
00:11:07bluebrotherwell, I had rbutil speaking. So ...?
00:11:08 Join atsea-68 [0] (i=atsea-@gateway/tor/x-2d57af93150f4542)
00:11:13amiconnrasher: Hmm, then it should be \bUSB\b
00:11:17ddalton~what with?
00:11:19bluebrotherwhat "PR" are they doing?
00:11:38rasheramiconn: I guess, or just without the /i
00:11:38bluebrotherI tried a demo version of jaws, Thunder and NVDA.
00:11:41delYsidbluebrother: on windows, right?
00:11:46LloreanDefineByte: I suggested the installation log, and the current config. You suggested requiring they use a program that may not be installed.
00:11:48bluebrotheryep.
00:11:52delYsidbut on linux, it is not
00:11:54amiconnrasher: I rather don'
00:12:01amiconnt rely on capitalisation
00:12:03bluebrotherwell, what's spoken on linux anyway?
00:12:14delYsidbluebrother: gtk2
00:12:26bluebrotherand 95% of our users are most likely windows users.
00:12:29ddaltonand how did jaws go? with it?
00:12:32amiconnHmm, or perhaps in this case it's better
00:12:42DefineBytefor the formal procedure, yes, it should be installed :)
00:12:48*amiconn fix
00:12:52LloreanDefineByte: NO
00:12:58LloreanDefineByte: The formal procedure should NOT require extra software.
00:13:01BagderI agree with Llorean
00:13:01bluebrotherwell, I don't know how jaws usually goes. It worked fine as far as I can tell.
00:13:07DefineByteand and reason for the no? :)
00:13:11rasheramiconn: well, \bUSB\b would probaly work better, I suppose. But as it is now, it's broken
00:13:16KaltharedelYsid: I'm not sure I understand. what's the problem with qt on Linux?
00:13:25LloreanDefineByte: I'm going to put my foot down here, and say that as the primary support contact for Rockbox, I will NOT write a formal procedure requiring any software beyond a file manager, a USB 2.0 driver, a FAT32 driver, and Rockbox on a player
00:13:33DefineByteyou seem to think i'm closing other avenues of support
00:14:03LloreanThe informal procedure can use handy tickets generated by another piece of software.
00:14:08bluebrotherDefineByte: what's the intention? Making rbutil a real support tool would be a bunch of work too
00:14:26amiconnrasher: Yeah. Strange thing is - I _did_ notice the A-U-S-Blenddauer, but didn't realise it was my fault...
00:15:06bluebrotherand as I assume rbutil will help decreasing the support questions because it does everything needed for installation why put work in yet another tool?
00:15:11bluebrother(that even limits the user)
00:16:42DefineBytellorean suggests changing rockbox settings and copying and attaching files, all i'm saying is that the fist part if not needed and may be confusing to the user
00:17:04LloreanDefineByte: I never once suggested changing Rockbox settings.
00:17:16bluebrotherchanging settings? In what way? And what's confusing about resetting the settings?

00:21:12DefineBytehow would you prevent users copying outdated logs?
00:21:24LloreanDefineByte: What outdated logs?
00:21:35DefineBytegenerated by rbutil
00:21:39DefineByteapparently
00:21:54 Quit nicktastic (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:21:56LloreanIs their installation going to magically change SVN revisions without a new install?
00:22:18LloreanThe RBUtil logs should be of the sort that don't become outdated until there's need for a new log anyway.
00:22:25DefineBytehow would you know if the user didn't manually copy a new .rockbox folder over?
00:22:29bluebrotheroutdated logs will only occur if the user installs Rockbox manually
00:22:32DefineByteit's a simple unzip
00:22:39bluebrotherbut an average user will just not do this ;-)
00:22:42LloreanDefineByte: In that case, any log generated by RBUtil would be bunk too.
00:22:46bluebrotherrbutil also downloads etc.
00:23:11LloreanA user can falsify whatever he wants, and/or not provide useful information.
00:23:19DefineBytehow would it be bunk? scan DAP on support ticket generation
00:23:35LloreanDefineByte: Scan for what? If a user manually installed, their files could contain whatever they want them to.

00:24:02DefineByterockbox-info? the md5s of the files? anything
00:24:03LloreanDefineByte: As you said, the only supported installation method will be RBUtil, in this hypothetical future. If they installed by other means, it's not supported now is it?
00:24:17DefineBytehow would yoiu know that?
00:24:26DefineByteRBUtil would tell you
00:24:32LloreanDefineByte: If they built on their own computer, but it's clean SVN, the MD5s may be different, and rockbox-info could be deleted or not copied over.
00:24:48DefineByteexactly
00:24:54DefineBytethe md5s would be different
00:25:00DefineByterbutil would check that
00:25:21LloreanBut it'd be a 100% valid build.
00:25:49LloreanIf you build the same SVN source on AMD64 vs x86 versions of arm-elf-gcc, for some reason there's variance.
00:25:49bluebrotherI'm really under the impression we're discussing some rare case here.
00:25:58bluebrotheris it really worth it?
00:26:03DefineBytebut the logs would be inconsistant. RBUtil could tell the support "staff" what build the user was actually running
00:26:22LloreanDefineByte: How do you identify it as *anything* but "Not the current version"?
00:26:33bluebrotherDefineByte: it is absolutely NOT possible to guarantee logfile and installed build to be in sync
00:26:37DefineBytebe checking SVN? :)
00:26:42bluebrotherwon't work.
00:26:42 Quit ddalton ("leaving")
00:27:03DefineByteput the MD5s in FILES? :)
00:27:08LloreanDefineByte: How does that help? Build every previous build on AMD64 and x86 and take all their MD5s?
00:27:08bluebrotherbesides, it isn't worth the work needed to implement such a thing
00:27:34bluebrotherwhat's the problem? If a user has problems just instruct him to update using rbutil.
00:27:40DefineBytei guess if you see support as fun instead of work :D

00:28:03bluebrotherafterwards we can be sure log and build match.
00:28:23LloreanDefineByte: Your method doesn't ensure anything, so I don't see what you're talking about.
00:28:54KalthareCan rockbox only be built on x86 hosts, then?
00:29:08LloreanKalthare: Nope, any host you can build the appropriate cross-compilers on.
00:29:17KalthareSo, there's that, too.
00:29:35DefineByteit would assure you know what build the user was running. look if support isn't really something you want to put a lot of work into i understand. this is an OS community after all and i'm not sure anyone else in OS offers something similar

00:30:24KalthareAnyhow, I've heard gcc has at least one optimization that's slightly random in its results.

00:38:48DefineBytethat's what I'm suggesting, yeah
00:38:50DefineBytetoo far?
00:39:07JdGordonBagder: if thats the most recent news... did you miss that I got a stripped e2t version giogn which can load our own code onto the e200 and run it?
00:39:11bluebrotherwell, we could write a usb stack that hides the .rockbox folder except for rbutil.
00:39:13DefineByteand if he opens it in notepad to "fix" it?
00:39:15JdGordonI had a nice flashing wheel last nitght :)
00:39:16LloreanDefineByte: If a user modifies a single file, it's highly unlikely it won't work without updating the whole build, and even then, they're compiling for themselves: They have a clue.
00:39:18bluebrotherbut it's completely pointless
00:39:38BagderJdGordon: that I missed. very nice!
00:39:48LloreanDefineByte: Honestly, at this point you're being silly. A user who opens it in notepad to fix it is probably going to remember that he did that.
00:39:52DefineByteexactly, it won't work and then they come here
00:39:53bluebrotherand btw, missing files could easily detected from the log

00:40:12DefineBytewhat log?
00:40:15Bagderhehe
00:40:28DefineBytethe one generated at install time?
00:40:29bluebrotherah, and if a user replaces his build with a custom build rockbox-info.txt will tell us
00:40:47bluebrotheryes, that one. You just need to check if all files in the log are still present ...
00:40:52DefineByteso why can't rbutil gather that?

00:41:37DefineByteor a bad USB connection
00:41:42LloreanDefineByte: Why do you think there's some phantom user who will modify or break a file by compiling a single file of his own, then forget he did it, and tell us his build is unmodified in the support request?
00:41:48DefineBytenow you're getting it :D
00:41:49***Alert Mode OFF
00:42:06SoapIf I may step in here for a moment.
00:42:20DefineByteand if the USB connextion is faulty when transfering files over 1MB?
00:42:25DefineBytewho knows :)
00:42:44DefineBytewill rbutil verify the installation?
00:42:51bluebrotherand if hell freezes while the user downloads Rockbox?
00:42:57LloreanDefineByte: Consider this: I've been doing support for Rockbox for 2 and a half years, and have read every post in the forum during that period. I think your idea is unnecessary.
00:43:10SoapIn your scenario, DefineByte, as described by Llorean... So the user does just that - uses a modified build w/o knowing. (S)he will be told to update to the latest version - thus overwriting the covertly modified file.
00:43:26bluebrotherand how should "verifying" be done?
00:43:39DefineBytemd5? )_)
00:43:40LloreanSoap: He's hypothesizing a user that's running the current SVN version of Rockbox, then immediately modifies a file, and then forgets, all within the average of 2.5 hours between revisions
00:43:41bluebrotherwithout great speed penalties and stuff?
00:43:52bluebrotherwell, here you have the penalty.
00:43:57DefineBytei'm just playing with the idea : rally :D

00:44:19*bluebrother starts considering this discussion and "idea" pointless and shuts up
00:44:38bluebrotherwe are writing software for users, not idiots.
00:44:40DefineBytehey, no skin xD
00:44:50DefineBytehave you been in the forums?
00:44:56DefineByte:p
00:45:07bluebrotheryes. Not even only the Rockbox ones.
00:45:14JdGordonbluebrother: your forgetting about all the ipod users...
00:45:16LloreanDefineByte: If the whole statistically likely ONE user this happens to in the next four years shows up, I'll happily take his support request for the benefit of enjoying the fact that users don't have to download RBUtil to provide me the necessary information to give support.
00:45:57DefineBytethey already need rbutil to install and presumably update with a fixed build
00:45:58bluebrotherJdGordon: maybe a bit ... but those will use our official install method (i.e. rbutil at some point). And everything else (i.e. those fancy custom builds) are unsupported :)
00:46:00SoapLlorean: On another topic. BigMac's interest in music metadata triggering .cfg file changes reminded me of the older feature request to allow/create a hybrid playlist/config. Either by allowing config "commands" in playlists (as .m3u comments?) or allowing a config file to "launch" a playlist. (or vise versa). Why, if you recall, was this idea dismissed?
00:46:47LloreanDefineByte: We've covered this: RBUtil may not be usable at the time, while downloading an extracting an SVN build might be.
00:46:52bluebrothertoo much possible confusion?
00:47:11BagderSoap: a playlist can hardly launch anything since it is just a list of files and they can be played in shuffled order
00:47:22Bagderthe config could be based on dirs or files though
00:47:34LloreanI like the idea of allowing playlists to be launched by .cfg files
00:47:36LloreanA LOT
00:47:43DefineByteright, so you're getting users to manually update. i thought they wouldn't do this?
00:47:43Bagderbut I don't think we've seen any decent implementation that doesn't spin up the disk on every track change
00:47:45LloreanBut that's just me.
00:47:54LloreanDefineByte: What do you mean they wouldn't do this?
00:48:32SoapBagder: I grok that - I ment the .m3u parser reads specially formatted comment lines directing it to a .cfg file to be used.
00:48:45LloreanSoap: I like the idea of .cfg files being able to launch playlists, and playlists being able to include .cfg files (though absolutely only via the "queue" function, and never in a saved one)
00:48:54DefineByteyou said the average user would do this then you're encouraging them to do it. user enters forum , sees updating manually to be the mrthod for fixing problrms, they update manually, error!
00:49:04LloreanSo you could queue a .cfg that changes the settings and launches a new playlist.
00:49:16BagderI would prefer having cfg files that are dir-specific, song-specific or even metadata-specific
00:49:27SoapThat would allow BigMac to have a different EQ per album without changing the original tracks, etc.
00:49:30DefineByteusers will read other's posts and try to fix the problem themselvs before posing about it
00:49:30Bagderso that all my 422 playlists would use them
00:49:39LloreanDefineByte: Then users will do all kinds of crazy things

00:49:57LloreanDefineByte: But every post will include "Use RBUtil to update" "I can't install RButil here" "Okay, please manually install by extracting..."
00:50:06DefineBytehow do you recognise a crazy user when they make a support requst?
00:50:31LloreanDefineByte: So, are you suggesting we deny support request to people who can't use RBUtil? Because either your method or mine both require manual installs...
00:50:35LloreanSO I don't see why you even bring this up
00:50:39SoapBagder: You mean as in a .cfg file which says "When playing from directory X use settings set 1 and when playing from directory Y use settings set 2"?

00:51:04***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:51:04BagderSoap: yes, probably like "dir.cfg" places in the directory, always found and used if present
00:51:07Bagderplaced
00:51:13DefineByteI'm suggesting the preferred method. that is all :)
00:51:15bluebrotherwell, you don't need to install rbutil. It's a single binary.
00:51:17 Nick SherlockHolmes is now known as BigBambi (n=alex@86.66.198.24)
00:51:27bluebrotherbut it might not work for everyone.
00:51:40LloreanDefineByte: Then arguing against my method with a point that's equally true for your method is silly. Next challenge?
00:51:50Bagderand probably a [song].cfg for a cfg for a particular song
00:52:04DefineBytewhat's is your method again?
00:52:13Bagderfor metadata-specific, it would require a special dir for those configs
00:52:17LloreanDefineByte: Not requiring RBUtil.
00:52:25SoapI see, Bagder. Thus the problem of spinning up the drive every track change as a relevant .cfg file is needed to be looked for?
00:52:42Bagderthe cfg files would be checked for, and loaded when the songs are loaded
00:52:55DefineByterequire? nay, just prefer :)
00:52:58Bagdermetadata-on-buffer...
00:53:05SoapI was getting to that.
00:53:16Soap;)
00:53:17LloreanDefineByte: I consider making it a part of the formal process a "requirement" for formal support.
00:53:27DefineByteif it's outside the scope of RBUtil that's fine :)
00:53:54DefineByteformal procedures can't have optional steps? blimey
00:54:02LloreanDefineByte: As I've said, I will fight tooth and nail to have the formal process involve the use of any program to make the request.
00:54:15LloreanDefineByte: If it's an optional step, why not just leave it out?
00:54:31DefineBytebecause it's easier for the user

02:10:22amiconnCancelling live settings doesn't work: it displays 'Cancelled' but does actually accept the setting.
02:11:24JdGordoncan you stick it on flyspray? im at uni and giong to forget about it otherwise....

02:28:21DeibeedHey guys?
02:29:49LloreanIt's often best just to ask a question, if you have one.
02:30:02DeibeedI was just trying out Rockbox on my Ipod Nano 1st Generation, and I got an error while uploading database.
02:30:18LloreanThere is a known problem with creating the database right now.
02:30:25DeibeedIt says: Data abort at 000457E4
02:31:04DeibeedSo, I simply can't upload music onto it?
02:31:23krazykityou can, the database just won't work right now.
02:31:49DeibeedSo how do I do that?

02:33:18DeibeedHmm. I don't use the iTunes to sync my ipod. Is there some other way?
02:33:35krazykituh, how do you normally put music on your ipod?
02:33:51DeibeedImport to Library, then drag into the Ipod itself.

02:34:35krazykitno
02:35:14DeibeedSo what do I do?
02:35:21krazykitthe way you do it, both the apple firmware and rockbox can use the files. drag-and-drop from explorer or finder will allow rockbox to see it but not the original firmware

05:43:27HellmarkQuick question. I am looking at getting a player that supports Rockbox, and two of the ones I am looking at are the iPod Mini and the 5-6gb iRiver H10. Reason for such, is that the microdrives can be swapped out for compact flash, which would help with battery life. On the Mini, under rockbox, you have to patch it if you run a compact flash card, due to it crashing when trying to put the drive into sleep mode. I am curious if this is an issue on the H1
05:43:29Hellmark0 as well

07:41:59AceNikguys bug remains still on the h10[20GB] data abort at 0045XXX after evert data init, this can be observed after svn revision no.14577 , thats the last one i was using, after which i switched to 14614
07:43:49ptw419anyone have any tips on how to get svn merge to work w/ the gigabeat-s branch?
07:44:22LloreanAceNik: Yes, you'll see there haven't been any commits relating to metadata since the bug was identified...
07:44:41amiconnThe bug isn't identified yet
07:45:01 Quit BHSPitLappy (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
07:45:04Lloreanamiconn: I thought it was identified... someone said something about and ID3 change of some sort causing it?
07:45:08AceNikllorean:i guess would the id3.c help in anyway, cause i suspect that file only has changed since then ?
07:45:09amiconnIf someone could tell me how to reproduce... it doesn't happen on any of my arm based targets
07:45:13ptw419so far i have : svn merge http://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk/ http://svn.rockbox.org/rockbo
07:45:13ptw419x/branches/gigabeat-s/
07:45:20AceNikya thats what made me suspect it
07:45:22AceNikalso
07:45:39Lloreanamiconn: For most people, it's just "initialize the database and it happens after anywhere from <50 to >1000 songs"
07:45:41AceNikamiconn: somehow please get it to be tried on a 20GB
07:45:48LloreanAceNik: Please don't pester.
07:46:00AceNikok
07:46:34amiconnAceNik: It is reported on ipod video as well. And I tried on iPod video G5.5/80, Mini G2, H10 6GB and ipod 2nd gen. DB init works on all 4 without crash
07:46:38Lloreanamiconn: The data abort location seems to be fairly consistent too.
07:46:49LloreanIt's also reported on the Sansa

07:47:36amiconnI suspect that it might be related to what tagging format(s) are used on the device. All my MP3s are now id3v2 *only*...
07:47:57tehxedIs there any way to turn off ID3 tags?
07:48:03tehxedAnd just get the file name.mp3 to appear?
07:48:07AceNikamiconn: i have my mp3's tagged with both in winamp
07:48:16KalthareI'm trying mine. I've got a horrible motley collection of file formats.
07:48:29amiconntehxed: You cannot "turn off" tags as they are in your files
07:48:50HellmarkI think he wants to not have them be displayed
07:48:52tehxedamiconn: When I say "turn off" I mean stop them from being displayed
07:48:57tehxedYeah, Hellmark got the idea
07:49:02krazykitAceNik, i also can't get the crash on the sansa
07:49:08amiconnYou could either remove all tags from your files if you don't want them at all, or you can make your own wps that ignores tags
07:49:29tehxedamiconn: I've removed the tags, I'm not sure how to go about making my own wps
07:49:38tehxedIs there any tutorial anywhere that could help me out with that?

07:52:44amiconnLlorean: Do *you* get that crash?
07:53:27KalthareThis is in initializing the tag database, yes?
07:53:41Lloreanamiconn: The only target I have available right now is my H120.
07:53:52amiconnAH, bummer
07:54:28*amiconn tries on archos, as the SH1 is also algnment sensitive
07:55:34amiconnIt would be helpful to know the exact address of the crash and then have the build dir of that build available
07:55:47amiconn(for checking the .map and disassembling the respective .o)

08:07:35KalthareHuh. What would that do?
08:07:46amiconnIt works if the COMM tag itself is at an even address in memory, and crashes if not
08:08:16KalthareOhh. Ouch.
08:09:10Jangariis that why?
08:09:17Jangarifucken comments tag
08:09:26amiconnWell, both arm and SH1 don't like unaligned pointers. But a char* (or void* in that case) isn't necessary aligned
08:09:51Jangariit's probably worth using anapod or something to clear the comments box from every tag
08:10:04LinusNbetter fix the code imho
08:12:18Jangarisure
08:12:18amiconnAha, and it can only happen if there are COMM tags in UTF-16. That's why I didn't get any crashes
08:12:18amiconnMy tags are all either iso8859-1 or utf-8
08:12:18Jangarioh well, my week-old build seems fine
08:12:18 Part puzzlet
08:13:10amiconnThe fix should be fairly simple. The cast to short* isn't necessary as the important point here is just to check pairs of bytes.

09:08:42B4gderit relocates itself?
09:08:57linuxstb_From what I can tell, there shouldn't be a limit to the size - e200tool first sends the length as a 32-bit int, then transfers the data in 64byte chunks.
09:09:21linuxstb_B4gder: Yes, if I understand the startup asm code in arm_code.c correctly.
09:09:46linuxstb_(I could be wrong...)
09:11:38B4gderthe arm_code is linked to address 40004000 according to the header comment
09:11:57B4gderit gives me the feeling that is where it is copied to
09:12:03JdGordon... let me explain why I tihnk the filesize has something to do with it... the first thing the code does is flash the light a fe times, then calls ata_init(), then should flash forever (at a different speed so its easy to tell the difference).... if the ata_init call is commented out the binary is ~1100 and the 2 flashing speeds are very visiable... with it uncommented i get no flashing at all....
09:12:13peturthe buffer of usb is in iram
09:12:17JdGordonuncommented makes the bin 22k or so
09:12:34B4gderright, 40004000 is IRAM
09:12:51linuxstb_B4gder: Can you explain what the code commented as "Make sure we run at the right address" at the start of arm_code.c is doing? IIUC, that's relocating the code to 0x40004000

09:16:53amiconnWouldn't surprise me, as most probably some hardware isn't initialised in manufacturer mode that is initialised by the sandisk loader in normal mode

09:31:37przemhbHi
09:31:50LinusNthe problem is that is_voice_queued() returns false as soon as the last clip is scheduled for playback
09:32:44LinusNi'm trying to make gui_syncsplach() not return until the voice is finished
09:33:00przemhbI would like to tell you that I have added a new codepage (WIN1250 - "Central European") - take a look FS #7712.
09:34:26przemhbCould someone tell me is it possible to implement convlover in rockbox? It would be very nice to have a possibility to convolve impulse response to flatten frequency response of headphones used or add some room acoustics.

09:42:17jhMikeSyeah, that's a new one. I would think { is_voice_queue() && voice_is_playing } would be more appropriate a test.
09:42:43LinusNyes, i wonder why the music playback would be involved at all...
09:43:19LinusNhmmm, i wonder what would happen if the music was paused
09:43:26jhMikeSI suppose do up an equivalent for hwcodec ?

09:44:58linuxstbB4gder: I don't understand that relocation code then...
09:45:21grndslmB4gder: so, it sounds as good as original firmware?? .. or better?
09:45:26B4gderlinuxstb: it is there to make sure the code is at 40004000
09:45:43B4gdergrndslm: yes, although I can't remember the OF anymore... :-)
09:45:52linuxstbB4gder: But MrH said the code is copied to 0x40004000 ?
09:45:56jhMikeSgrndslm: It's quite high on my sound quality list compared to many others
09:46:02B4gderlinuxstb: yes, if it isn't there already
09:46:11B4gderit is there already in the manufacture mode
09:46:14grndslmB4gder: when i tried it a few months with rockbox, it seemed to be a bit scratchy or staticy at some points
09:46:16B4gderbut not in pre-boot mode
09:46:36B4gder"So I just want to support both modes with the same code."
09:46:39jhMikeSgrndslm: I think rockbox tops it. Our codecs seem to be higher quality.
09:47:17linuxstbB4gder: Ah, so in pre-boot mode it's transferred to ???, and in manufacture mode, it's transferred to 0x40004000 ?
09:47:19grndslmjhMikeS: interesting, it must have improved a good bit, i'll have to check it out again... as soon as i can find my charger ;-)
09:47:47B4gderlinuxstb: correctly, in pre-boot it gets transfered to 0x40000000
09:47:55jhMikeSscratchy shouldn't be a problem. that was addressed as well as all the other earlier problems
09:48:06B4gder"In manufacturing mode the i2c contents are at 0x4000000 so the load address is higher."
09:48:22linuxstbB4gder: Thanks. That's clear now, and it could also explain JdGordon's problems...
09:48:42jhMikeSgrndslm: when did you last try rockbox on e200?
09:48:50GodEater_linuxstb: it does ?

09:59:20linuxstbGodEater_: The code currently relocates itself from 0x40004000 (the load address) to 0x40000000 (where it is linked to run from). IIUC, that could cause problems if the size is > 0x4000 bytes (16KB), as the code appears to run on both cores - it's before the COP is halted.

10:03:01GodEater_would someone mind telling me what that filename translates to in english ? Obviously I get the "pp" is portalplayer - but I always wondered about the rest of it
10:03:28jhMikeSdoes anyone recall when those warnings started?
10:03:34linuxstbI'm not sure what crt0 actually means - it's the filename always used for the initial startup code. "bl" is bootloader.
10:03:47B4gderjhMikeS: a gcc 4.2 update
10:03:58GodEater_I guessed the bl was bootloader too - but wasn't sure
10:04:04GodEater_I'd love to know where crt0 comes from
10:04:16linuxstb"C runtime" according to wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crt0
10:04:23GodEater_ah
10:04:29linuxstbAnd I guess the zero is because it's the very first code to run
10:05:57GodEater_I imagine you're right
10:08:12jhMikeShmmm...what a useless warning for something that uses documented compiler bahavior to default-fill an array and then override them with specified inits. :\

10:18:46B4gderthere's no generic disable option
10:18:48jhMikeSOne that bugs me (x is possibly used uninitialized) : { int x; if (cond) { x = something; } ....... if (cond) { something_else = x; }
10:19:25JdGordonthats a valid warning though...
10:19:34jhMikeSnot in that case

10:28:44amiconnLinusN: Why do you want gui_syncsplash() to wait for voice to end? Voice is asynchronous by design, I'd hate that behaviour...
10:28:45*jhMikeS *whistling*
10:29:04*jhMikeS supposes he should close some FS stuff now
10:29:15LinusNamiconn: gui_syncsplash() is not asynchronous, hence the name
10:29:37*jhMikeS thought "sync" was referring to screens
10:29:41amiconnNo., the "sync" just means "all LCDs" in that case
10:30:58LinusNamiconn: ah, my bad, but if the "ticks" parameter is set, it sleeps
10:31:13amiconnyes
10:31:16LinusNand then it should wait until the voice is finished
10:31:30amiconnImho it should not
10:31:37LinusNotherwise the voice is interrupted when the screen returns to the menu
10:31:41amiconnVoice can play *way* longer than the timeout
10:31:52LinusNthat's my point
10:32:18amiconnVoice is only interupted if there's all new stuff to announce, and that's on purpose then
10:32:36LinusNin this case, the alarm screen exits before the "waking up in xx" is spoken, so you don't hear it
10:32:42amiconnIt ensures quick navigation
10:32:55ddaltonyour talking about my patch?
10:32:59LinusNyes
10:33:10amiconnThat's a special case then
10:33:22LinusNyes, perhaps
10:33:26ddaltonhow long does it take to finish talking
10:33:56amiconnddalton: That's not predictable, as it depends on language and voice speed
10:34:05ddaltono yeah...
10:35:13ddaltonwell when exiting the alarm you land on the wake up alarm option why don't we just make that voice not interrupt the alarm wake up message.
10:35:53ddaltonI guess we can't. Because of make_menu
10:36:24ddaltonwhat would happen if you press a button when a gui_syncsplash is displaying something is set at 20 seconds?

10:41:06DefineBytei've noticed that, on the iPod 5G, when the backlight is off the first keypress is not enacted, it only turns the backlight on. the second keypress does enothing (at least while the backlight is on), the third keypress works as expected. is this known?
10:42:54KalthareI think that's configurable.
10:42:54pixelmaLinusN: could this problem with voicing splashes also be the reason why I sometimes get the "loading" splash voiced twice?
10:43:08GodEater_DefineByte: that's a config option
10:43:11LinusNpixelma: yes, probably
10:43:21pixelmaI see
10:43:41DefineBytedisable second keypress is a config option?

10:44:01DefineBytei know you can set whether to just turn te backlight on or not on first keypress
10:44:06KalthareOh, the second keypress? no, that'd be a bug then.
10:44:11DefineBytebut the second gets eaten

10:45:24GodEater_*press
10:45:37amiconnI never observed this, but then I don't use "First keypress enables backlight only"
10:45:38DefineByteit may be related to the baclight coming on with the hold switch, i'm not sure
10:46:00DefineBytei always use the hold switch
10:46:08amiconnI do know that sometimes the first keypress after hold is eaten

10:59:07linuxstbDefineByte: ArchOpen is a project similar to Rockbox - it's an open source replacement OS for the newer Archos devices. So it contains lots of source/info that could aid Rockbox ports to those (and similar) devices. Although those Archos devices are PMPs, rather than strictly DAPs, so Rockbox ports may not be that useful.
10:59:38GodEater_which isn't stopping you trying to port it to one :)

11:11:08peturnot not? so it is?
11:11:18*jhMikeS didn't say that

11:18:58jhMikeSif the company can be convinced it's to their benefit to help the rockbox project, I don't doubt they would. Just the fact that sansa approached the project seems to indicate the waters are being tested.
11:19:26DefineBytei buy daps purely based on rockbox support now
11:20:22DefineByteno closed solutions offer anything close
11:20:50jhMikeSif they do share info about things such as the AS3514, it's best to be on best behavior and not screw that stuff up.
11:20:51GodEater_they do offer a bit more in terms of reliability mind you

11:28:23GodEater_*obvious

11:32:51GodEater_obo - how right you are - that doesn't cause the codec failure if you have dircache off
11:34:42obothat is as far as I got tracking it down, I think it'll need a dircache guru to take a looksie

11:55:41fm2I'd like to talk about FS #7232. Would a setting for keymap to use be accepted in SVN?
11:55:51amiconnDefineByte: On all standard targets, the cache only lives in RAM
11:56:13preglowjhMikeS: adding dual core support adds 3k lines to thread.c? +? ??
11:56:15DefineBytedidn't know that. thought it got written to disk eventually
11:57:08amiconnNo, that would be dangerous as the disk content can change without rockbox noticing
11:58:13linuxstbDefineByte: What would be the point in saving dircache? Between boots to Rockbox, anything (and everything) could have changed on the disk, so Rockbox has to do a complete scan anyway.
11:58:57DefineBytecan't it check to see if the FAT has changed (or whatever it's called xD)?
11:59:31B4gderthis may sounds strange but we have given this some thought already

12:02:55DefineByteyou can't save the FAT as well and compare it?
12:03:20jhMikeSit's about 2100 lines fixing all holes, adding comments, richening the threading API and guaranteeing low latencies all about 25-30% faster.
12:03:57dionoeaDefineByte: save the whole disc on the disc ??
12:04:25DefineBytei thought the FAT was just an index pointing to the clusters
12:05:05dionoeaAnyway, comparing would be the same as rebuilding the cache wouldn't it ? (interms of disc access)
12:05:19preglowjhMikeS: got a patch hanging around?
12:05:40DefineBytehow small is the FAT then?
12:05:43jhMikeSpreglow: could make one

12:42:54jhMikeStimeout checks are also now done only at the soonest task ready to run instead of every tick, so that's a factor of 10 reduction in checks not to mention lazy removal from that list that speeds thread wakeup a good deal. you can count that a thread will never have to wait till the next tick unless it calls sleep with an arg of 1 or greater.
12:42:58pixelmaSpaetzchen: maybe you'll find more people who can help you when you try to explain your problem in english

12:53:07SpaetzchenNOW I have the prob that I can't start ;-)
12:53:13B4gderso get into recovery mode and put back .rockbox, or re-install the original sansa OF
12:53:16SpaetzchenI can't deinstall
12:53:21SpaetzchenI can't reinstall
12:53:25B4gdersure you can, just read our guides

12:53:44SpaetzchenOF?
12:53:48Spaetzchenhihi
12:53:48Spaetzchenno
12:53:50B4gderthat's the idea, I don't think it works everywhere
12:54:02linuxstbOr manually press a button to start the original firmware?
12:54:06Spaetzchenit doesn't starts, I don't know how to start in the normal

12:55:41jhMikeSpreglow: I suppose but I think it wouldn't take too much given a sufficiently long expiration. I think giving cancelling control to the _last_ thread to request boost is all that's needed. not a per-thread record as it is now.

12:56:44B4gderthe games of nothing you mean then?
12:56:45Spaetzchenbut I can't do anything
12:56:56Spaetzchenso I tried to deinstall, but it doesn't happend

12:57:13linuxstbYou then half-uninstalled it (not following the uninstall instructions in the manual), and stopped your Sansa from working...
12:57:19DefineBytebring on rbutil xD
12:57:20SpaetzchenI installed it, but I haven't seen and heard something
12:57:33linuxstbSpaetzchen: Did you try playing some music?
12:57:51SpaetzchenI have no music on the player because he is new
12:57:51linuxstbSpaetzchen: Did you download and install the voice files?
12:58:01DefineBytedoes/will rbutil uninstall rockbox?
12:58:13Spaetzchenyes
12:58:33linuxstbDefineByte: Yes (I'm not sure which - the old WX rbutil had an uninstall option, I can't remember if that's in Qt yes, but I expect so)
12:59:01Spaetzchenso, I would like to try it again, but with help
12:59:08Spaetzchenand this is the reason why I
12:59:12SpaetzchenI'm here ;)
12:59:18linuxstbSpaetzchen: But anyway, turn your Sansa off (hold power for about 15 seconds I think), then hold <<, then turn your Sansa back on. It should start the original firmware.
12:59:19DefineByteshould prevent this particular problem from cropping up then. :)
12:59:30SpaetzchenI would like to have my old system or the new system with all things I need ;-)

13:04:55linuxstbpreglow: Temporary boost whilst the UI is active would solve that - if code optimisation can't.

13:07:21B4gderfor those who only read the list
13:07:30jhMikeSlinuxstb: I hope to comment it sufficiently and messing with that isn't for everyone. Basically it's either: understand it or leave it alone kind of thing.
13:07:32linuxstbpreglow: Then such a codec could use the COP. Or we run all codecs on the COP - requiring only the codec api to be multi-core safe, not the whole of Rockbox.
13:07:41DefineByteto be honest i've never installed voice files beofre. i'm sure someone else knows better than me
13:08:11B4gderjhMikeS: pre-emptive thread may be easy to do, but it opens a whole new can of worms for us
13:08:17Spaetzchenhihi
13:08:40Spaetzchensomeone said that I must rename this file and where I must put this file?
13:08:49preglowwe don't need or want pre-emptive threading
13:09:00amiconnjhMikeS: I really fear that dualcore will cause serious issue in other code than just the scheduler, and I probably have no idea how to deal with them
13:09:06jhMikeSB4gder: depends on the design choices. it can be a non-issue for most code. the code it affects most people don't even look at.
13:09:17*linuxstb is also curious to know the power consumption of running different combinations of COP/CPU at different clock speeds

13:12:31jhMikeSif you don't have complete control over what called code does, it affords no luxury
13:12:53Spaetzchenok, rockbox is again on the player
13:12:57Spaetzchenbut what must I do now?
13:13:12B4gderSpaetzchen: find someone who can translate the manual for you
13:13:31jhMikeSI'd have no intention of getting fancy with every part. just certain subsystems which are rather easy to control.
13:13:55preglowbut i do agree with linuxstb as far as not needing to make every part of rockbox dualcore aware goes
13:14:03Spaetzchenthe problem is
13:14:08DefineBytei guess translating the manual for release would be a goal to strive for
13:14:10preglowbut i suspect a good part of the changes will be needed anyway even for limited support
13:14:11Spaetzchenthere stands only ONE sentense

13:15:02DefineBytethere isn't a background by default
13:15:08DefineByteyou have to add one
13:15:12SpaetzchenI downloaded a theme

13:15:32preglowbut just closing our eyes on dualcore sure as hell isn't a way to go if we ever want to support ipods properly
13:15:37DefineByteit may need patches

13:17:33pixelmawhere do you have it from?
13:17:39jhMikeSpreglow: the dual core SPC code runs nicely with echo running on both cores simulataneously and it was just a quicky thing.
13:17:57pixelmaSpaetzchen: those are outdated you can't use them currently
13:18:12B4gder... as is mentioned on that very same page
13:18:13Spaetzchenoh
13:18:19Spaetzchenthis isn't good :(

13:19:04B4gderas I said "we only have english voices for download"
13:19:05jhMikeSand one major factor in properly supporting such threading reliably is a proper kernel synchronization object set.
13:19:14Spaetzchenhm, outdated stands at the end of this page

13:23:50DefineByteit's english or nothing currently
13:24:16Spaetzchenso the words are programmed or the letters?
13:24:41pixelmabut if you want to try out voice in general as the start you can have the text shown on german and have it talking in english
13:25:01jhMikeSI'm constantly fixing bugs related to yield patterns that vary from target to target. That's where this cooperative stuff breaks down to preemtive behavior. You may consider a "suprise" yield to be equivalent to preemption.

13:27:59pixelmayou would need to download the english voice file (as it says in the manual), copy it to your player at the appropriate place and rename it to deutsch.voice - then after a reboot and if you're really chose the "deutsch" language, it starts talking (in english) but at least you'll have the menus and so on in german

13:30:43SpaetzchenI can't use it
13:30:45amiconnjhMikeS: whie(cond) yield(); is nasty anyway, unless the condition is only true for a very short time. Otherwise while(cond) sleep(1); is much much better

13:31:03jhMikeSpreglow: no worry, it's still cooperative per core
13:32:05DefineBytejust put it in the right place. you dont do anything with it apart from renaming it
13:32:14jhMikeSamiconn: if it's multithreaded code, the condition may go true-false-true and no longer apply by the time the waiting thread runs again.
13:32:22amiconn(or better, sleep(0))
13:32:24delYsidddalton: regarding 7704, what do you think about just committing the stripped down patch you made? It doesnt have any impact on the english voice and/or lang file, just makes the talk functions available through plugin_api and splits out the talk_enum.h header.
13:32:40delYsidthis way, plugins could at least do stuff like talk_number and talk_id if we do not need any additional strings.
13:33:22jhMikeSsleep(0) will equal yield() as anything I've programmed makes a zero delay a simple giving up of remaining CPU burst.
13:35:14ddaltonI think it would be a good idea. Then we could just create a fix and commit that later.
13:35:18jhMikeSof course with these changes I'll evaluate all scheduler use globally.
13:35:49delYsidddalton: great.

13:40:29Spaetzchenthe themes ;-)
13:40:38ddaltonok can you fix p7705 if you have time? It adds voice for battery bench but I would like to see how you check if voice menus is enabled. I don't really have time to update
13:41:06delYsidrb->voice_menus_enabled()
13:41:09ddaltondelYsid: so how should the voice file be done do you think?
13:41:14amiconnjhMikeS: It's just nasty to change behaviour in that way if it was different before
13:41:18ddaltonin an if?
13:41:27ddaltonif (what you said before)
13:41:40amiconnI think some of the newer problems might be due to this behaviour change
13:41:42delYsidddalton: yes.
13:41:47ddaltonso if(rb->voice_menus_enabled())
13:41:58jhMikeSthere was no behavior change in SVN
13:41:59delYsidyes
13:42:06ddaltonok how should we do the voice file do you think?
13:42:19delYsidddalton: no idea yet :-(
13:42:51delYsidbut getting 7704 (the tsecond patch) committed would be a first step to get things moving.
13:42:53ddaltonI see what your saying about using strings from english.lang but I think we could just re do them in plugin.voice for example
13:43:02delYsidbut I have no idea yet how to code the secondary voice file thing
13:43:09ddaltonyep and then write the fix
13:43:27delYsidyes
13:43:37jhMikeSI employed the change in a later revision my code. I thing most code assumes sleep(10) means "sleep 100ms" not 110ms.
13:44:00SpaetzchenI tried to take the WVA-theme into my player, but it doesn't work
13:44:01DefineBytewhat's the name of the theme you installed, Spaetzchen?
13:44:29amiconnjhMikeS: There was. At least back in times of the simple round-robin scheduler, sleep(0) slept until the end of the current tick
13:44:42DefineBytewhat's the name of the theme you installed, Spaetzchen?
13:45:04amiconnjhMikeS: 100 or 110ms, both won't be exact
13:45:08SpaetzchenWVA
13:45:26delYsidddalton: but I think we will need a secondary voice file and load both (the english.voice and plugin.voice), because there is potentially a lot of duplication. Think about talk_number or talk_value
13:45:29amiconnThe old behaviour let it sleep for 100..110ms, current svn lets it sleep for 90..100ms instead
13:45:30DefineBytedidn't mean to post that twice
13:45:31DefineByte:o

13:45:58SpaetzchenI found it there
13:46:04Spaetzchenu asked for the theme ;-)
13:46:06jhMikeSamiconn: I remember seeing tick = current_tick + 1 in current SVN
13:46:22amiconnjhMikeS: I'm referring to the tick granularity
13:46:46jhMikeShow would that have changed?
13:47:09DefineBytethat theme should work on the standard build
13:47:20ddaltonI got to go but maybe plugin.voice and then we do something like lang v2 and if certain players don't have certain plugins there will be less clips.
13:47:27ddaltonProbably to many voice files!
13:48:04ddaltonso just plugin.voice for all targets maybe and then we just add everything in to that for the plugins including the numbers
13:48:07DefineByteSpaetzchen: how did you install it?
13:48:11ddaltonand letres
13:48:12jhMikeS100 should actually be 95-105 ms and average 100 over the long term
13:49:11jhMikeSbtw: round-robin is a term used for preemtive multitasking. the correct term is FCFS (first-come-first-serve). </pedantic>

13:52:17Spaetzchenbut it doesn't work
13:52:26jhMikeSthe processor may wake at the tick period boundary, but the thread may have threads ahead of it doing something but that's usually a couple ms delay tops for a turnaround.

14:11:11DefineBytedid he say he was german?
14:11:16SpaetzchenI can understand swiss :)
14:11:18DefineByteanyway... :)
14:11:55DefineBytethen from the main menu go to 'files' (or whatever it is in german) and browse to the files
14:12:02pixelmafor what it's worth, that theme works fine in a Sansa simulator here...
14:12:20DefineBytehey, it's got to be worth something
14:12:37B4gdergiven the track history, I bet Spaetzchen only tell us half of what he actually does

14:12:55Spaetzchennot he, she ;-)
14:13:12SpaetzchenI have no music in "files"

14:19:10DefineByteyes
14:19:29DefineByteit would be great if you could drag a theme onto rbutil and it automatically installs
14:19:50pixelmathe directory you put the music in - is that the "Music" directory that the Sansa original uses (I seem to vaguely remember that this one is marked hidden by default, could be wrong though)
14:19:53Spaetzchenyes for women like me ;-)
14:20:03B4gderDefineByte: I believe it'll even interact with the theme site to allow downloads etc
14:20:04dionoeadoesn't rb util already install themes ?
14:20:21Spaetzchenno there is no rockbox in rockbox
14:20:25tumusansa finds music on any directories
14:20:31tumujust tested it few hours ago
14:20:32jhMikeSpreglow: do you feel it's better to have 1% of the code sophisticated to make 99% of the code simpler or the other way? Sometime I get the impression the other way is preferred here. I also point to queue_send which paid for itself at twice over in bin size when first added.
14:20:40DefineByteno idea where you may have out it then
14:21:31DefineByteput/

14:41:13Spaetzchenthank you a lot
14:41:16linuxstb_preglow: True, but eq is different - it's one feature that nothing else depends on. If the worst came to the worst, we couldjust rmeove it from Rockbox. We couldn't do that with the kernel, (or playback.c, etc)

14:42:12preglowlinuxstb_: true, but we're approaching a point where we _have_ to add some complexity to it in order for rockbox to expand in the same way it has

14:42:28DefineBytebye
14:42:30linuxstb_preglow: Also, I think we should learn from past failings - there are lots of bits of Rockbox which are in effect unmaintained. All I'm saying is that we should do whatever we can to avoid that situation getting worse.
14:42:31 Quit Spaetzchen ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
14:42:36jhMikeSlinuxstb_: but the DSP couldn't be removed for sure. adding the ASM limited the number of possible maintainers but the benefits were outstanding.

14:50:11jhMikeSthe biggest headache has been the cache actually...but it seems that overlapping cache lines is the reason.
14:50:28linuxstb_jhMikeS: What's the state of your dual-core work? Is the failure of the PP5020 to play fair still holding things up?

15:15:35preglowjhMikeS: hmm, that makes me wonder, shouldn't we really be having more bugs with the sim due to the pre-emptive multitasking?
15:15:48jhMikeSthreads are serialized there
15:16:09preglowexplain :>
15:16:32jhMikeSbasically it simulates cooperative multitasking by running preemptive threads in turn
15:16:50preglowis that so
15:16:56jhMikeSsure is
15:17:21MarkVeinotIs there a location to download the latest builds of the sansa bootloader?
15:17:22JdGordonlinuxstb_: good news... dont know if you read before about my testing method... but with ata_init() i get 2 different flashing speeds which means we might be lucky :)
15:17:50amiconnpreglow: It has always been like that
15:18:06jhMikeSbut one thing in the sim should run preemtively: the disk io. I have a following update for that and the sim runs so much better. It sort of acts like it has a DMA channel.
15:18:53preglowi would welcome the sim running better, i want to use it as my main music player
15:18:56preglowbut it's too sluggish here
15:19:06linuxstb_JdGordon: Is this with my original 2 changes applied?
15:19:12JdGordonyes
15:19:35linuxstb_JdGordon: I only briefly looked at the Sansa ata_init(), but can it actually fail?
15:19:37jhMikeSit employs yielding within rockbox threads while an IO does the read/write at the same time. huge improvement.
15:19:46preglowJdGordon: ata_init()? what're you working on?
15:19:55qwmany seeking in mpegplayer yet?
15:19:57JdGordonlinuxstb_: dunno.. but at least its running which is one up on this morning
15:20:15linuxstb_How big is bootloader.bin now?
15:21:00JdGordon40048 bytes
15:21:23jhMikeSpreglow: all the lag during disk access just goes away, mpegplayer plays video smoothly at all times and such...so this whole patch is really just kernel improvement in general
15:21:33linuxstb_JdGordon: Sounds promising. Hopefully we can go all the way up to 112KB (from 40004000 to the end of IRAM) if we need to.
15:21:46jhMikeSbut the IO updates would be committed separately since it's sort of outside the scope
15:21:56DerPapsti wonder.... afaik rockbox doesn't allow anonymous contributions.... what is about the e200tool if JdGordon succeeds?
15:22:16linuxstb_JdGordon: Ideally we would want to append the Rockbox bootloader mi4 to the code you're uploading, so the app can do the sansapatcher stuff as well. But that's definitely for v2.
15:22:45JdGordonDerPapst: its not doing anything special.. its just using libusb so should be easy to reimplement...
15:22:58DerPapstok.
15:23:04jhMikeSpreglow: changes to most files are just tiny compatibility changes (like a rename from struct event to struct queue_event to make way for actual event sync primitives)
15:23:09 Part DefineByte
15:23:34DerPapstor MrH decides to pick some random name :P
15:24:55jhMikeSpreglow: the sim could probabaly compile and use the actual rockbox kernel the way it's set up
15:24:58preglowyes, i look forward to the day Eiben Scrood commits code
15:25:19preglowjhMikeS: would be nifty :)

15:43:50JdGordonanyone want to have a guess as to why the lcd is useless in manufac mode, but once rockbox is loaded from disk it works? (the init sequence is all ifdef BOOTLOADER)...
15:44:23jhMikeSbecause it's actually initialized already but not used and no backlight?
15:45:41JdGordon... but the debug messages at the end of the bootloader should be visiable, but they arent shown untill rockbox is loaded..
15:45:59JdGordonI checked by sticking a while(1); before the return in the bootloader main()
15:46:13jhMikeSframebuffer is still the OF framebuffer and needs to be set to something else probably

17:02:26fm2linuxstb: I only ask because of the recent change in usb_detect. We want to tell usb charger from PC charger. Is it intended to show this somehow?
17:02:41pixelmabluebrother: there are also 2 mistakes in his new "first contact" section - Rockbox doesn't play ogg vorbis on the Archos devices and dual boot is also not possible everywhere or done differently (that's the first paragraph I read in the forums until I got confused). I also think he changes too much and don't see something that is more logical than before (very personal impression)
17:02:56pixelmahaven't even read further...
17:03:01linuxstb_fm2: On other PP targets, Rockbox reboots into the OF's USB mode when a USB connection is detected - that's how you know...
17:03:51bluebrotheras far as I can tell he is completely sansa-centric and forgets about all others. And presents the user stuff that isn't completely correct and misleading.
17:03:52fm2linuxstb: will it stay the same when the USB stack is implemented?
17:04:13linuxstb_fm2: When the USB stack is working, the Sansa will enter USB mode when it detects a USB connection...

17:06:31linuxstb_fm2: How can it enter usb mode if it's connected to a charger?

17:07:00bluebrotherotoh it could also lead to faster breakage of the manual.
17:08:00pixelmahard to say... I can't really imagine that at the moment
17:08:44fm2linuxstb: I probably don't quite understand what "USB mode" means. Is it a state when RB has recognised that an USB jack has been inserted (which can be either a wall charger or a PC connection)? Or does it only mean a PC connection (and hence the possibility to transfer files)?

17:18:16fm2Another question about the plans: once the usb stack is in place, what mode would sansa enter when connected to a PC (with power off)? OF or RB one?
17:19:07linuxstb_I would expect the RB one.
17:21:04linuxstb_On other targets (with a hardware USB bridge), the bootloader enters USB mode directly if it detects a usb connection at boot - it doesn't start either RB or the OF.
17:21:27linuxstb_So I would assume we would want to do something similar on PP targets eventually.
17:23:13fm2linuxstb: yes, that'd be the "rescue mode", right?
17:24:11linuxstb_Yes. Although ipods already have a rescue mode that is accessible before the RB bootloader, so on ipods there is no need for a second rescue mode...
17:27:39fm2linuxstb: but it would be possible. What about sansa? Doesn't it also have rescue ("manufacturing") mode? What would the RB rescue mode be good for?

18:23:24linuxstb_barrywardell: Welcome back. Have you tried connecting a PP target to your Mac with the "charge button" held down? i.e. to avoid entering USB mode?
18:23:41linuxstb_If I do that on my ipod, the Mac's USB stack dies (for that USB port).
18:24:14barrywardellmy Mac's USB stack dies a lot when I connect a PP target to it
18:24:18linuxstb_This happened both before and after the USB detection change I've just committed.
18:24:36barrywardellit also dies other times too

18:25:17linuxstb_Any idea how to fix it?
18:26:01barrywardellit doesn't die when there's a functional usb driver
18:26:16barrywardellie. when I was using the e200tool code in Rockbox it didn't die
18:26:42linuxstb_I also noticed that when connecting to Linux, I sometimes (but not always) get a "new USB device" message before the ipod reboots to disk mode, and then I get a second "new USB device" when it connects in disk mode.
18:27:31linuxstb_So is the problem that "dr_controller_stop" doesn't close the USB connection thoroughly?
18:27:32barrywardellthe 1.2.15 OF for the sansa also cuses the Mac usb stack trouble, so I don't know if it's a problem we can fix too easily
18:28:18barrywardellI don't think it's a dr_controller_stop problem
18:29:05linuxstb_I mean should we be doing more between calling run and stop - to tell the host that we're aborting the connection?
18:29:50barrywardellI'm not sure.
18:30:40linuxstb_Do you have an ipod, or just H10 and Sansa?

20:04:12gregjI wonder if the new nano would be hackable for rockbox

20:04:27gregjfew seconds ?
20:04:29Hellmarkthere are a handful of companies that own almost all the radio stations in North America, and they've stripped away the DJs choice of music, and just have them play precanned music, of which really is in short supply, since the same songs get repeated over and over again
20:04:42linuxstb_gregj: It's unlikely to be less secure than the current Nano...
20:04:46HellmarkI mean, there are times, where you will hear the same song about once every hour
20:05:10sambolina3agreed ^^^
20:05:19gregjlinuxstb_: is the current nano makes it just hard to change firmware, because of encryption, etc ?

20:24:28RudManI've been unable to get recording working at all, I've only looked at it briefly tho. and my sansa only lasts about 5 hours
20:25:01senabthanks, sounds good then. i'm debating whether to pay the extra ÂŁ20 for the radio version hmmmm
20:25:06preglowsaratoga: i think uploading is ready now
20:25:13senabrudman: whats the radio reception like?
20:25:28O112358how could i get back to the default rockbox theme after changing my theme to something else? when i try and load up Rockbox_Default it doesn't look the same as when i first installed rockbox..
20:25:30RudManhaven't tried the radio at all.
20:26:19O112358and resetting my settings seems a bit extreme
20:26:33in-janeRudMan: have you figured out why it only lasts 5 hours? that sounds weird
20:26:39senabrudman: okay thanks
20:26:48RudManmaybe you made some font changes after the installed it the first time and that's why it looks different
20:27:13RudManin-jane: I've got a refurb unit so I'm suspecting it's a questionable battery
20:27:20senabjust found the e280 for ÂŁ73 delivered. Bargain!
20:27:48O112358RudMan: i'm sure even the background colour is different, it doesn't start off white does it?

20:28:30in-janeRudMan: OK. i just got little worried since i ordered my e240 today ;)
20:29:05linuxstb_O112358: You could open up .rockbox/config.cfg in a text editor and delete any lines relating to the theme.
20:29:10BigBambisenab: where?

20:32:08linuxstb_O112358: The USB picture is hard-coded - you can't change it.

21:14:55O112358and i just realised that the usb charging image looks differen't to me because i was running a really old build
21:14:58amiconnO112358: The USB host port uses a mini-AB socket that both accomodates mini-A and mini-B plugs
21:15:13AceNikamiconn: yes thanks, it doesn't, although it does crash after a couple of minutes of playing music, it hangs, does playing at higher volumes make a difference

21:15:28linuxstb_lostlogic: Any plans to return to Rockbox hacking?
21:15:28n1sO112358: yes rockbox can usb charge
21:15:56amiconnThis is meant for OTG devices, which can negotiate which device acts as host and which acts as device
21:15:56n1sbut for it to be fast enough to be useful you need to enable a setting somewhere

21:16:21O112358i have it plugged in but the charging logo isn't animating

21:23:18Genre9mp3pressing the rec button while inserting the USB cable will make the H300 charge... though it's a bit ugly that while doing so you get to the Recording screen as well
21:23:35O112358hmm, i did a battery bench test yesterday on the first cycle of my brand new battery and it came out with some very odd values
21:23:46Genre9mp3we should probably change this (use the Play button instead or something)
21:24:12linuxstb_Genre9mp3: Is long-press on play currently unused?
21:24:27n1sGenre9mp3: also the rec screen comes up if you hold rec to reset settings on boot :-)
21:24:58linuxstb_Who's idea was it to map the "rec" button to the recording screen? ;)
21:25:11Genre9mp3linuxstb: No... at least not while on file browser
21:25:13O112358it started off detecting a voltage of about 60 mV which went down to 2 mV over the period of an hour, then it jumped up to over 4000 mV (what one would expect) and then acted normally
21:25:38Genre9mp3file browser/menu that is...
21:25:41lostlogiclinuxstb_: yes, it is likely. I've been busy moving 2000 miles, buying a home and starting a new job for the past couple of months, but should finally have internet access at home tomorrow which might just might put rockbox back on my "way to spend time" radar.
21:25:44linuxstb_Genre9mp3: What about the WPS?

21:26:38O112358is that an issue with the battery bench plugin? seeing as it's impossible for my battery to be at such a low voltage and for the player still to run

21:30:45amiconnficsch: I don't think there's a bug in the db rebuild (other than the crash bug I fixed this morning). If you deleted a folder but the files still appear in the database, it's most probably because you didn't delete for real, but the files are now in a recycle bin

21:41:33n1sO112358: that is a known bug, that has been aroud for ages... unfortunately no one has fixed it yet
21:41:49n1swere there other files in the dir?
21:42:01O112358hmm, why have a delete option when you hold down Navi while a song is playing anyway?
21:42:17O112358the file was in my root
21:42:25O112358it was something i had just recorded
21:43:00n1sO112358: yes but were there other music files in the root then ?
21:43:22O112358erm, no
21:43:40O112358why?#
21:43:56O112358would it have been ok had there been other files for it to play?
21:44:04n1sok, thanks, I guess it is actually two seperate bugs, the one I was thinking about was apparently fixed

21:44:52 Quit DerPapst (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
21:45:29O112358the file deleted fine, then i assume it just carried on playing since the file was already loaded into the buffer, but when i pressed navi the total song time went to 00:00 and it just froze on that screen
21:46:16O112358n1s: oh, and have you heard of people getting strange voltage values on battery bench tests before?
21:46:34n1snot that I can remember, no
21:47:21O112358i can't see how it can be a problem with my battery, because had it actually been at 60 mV the player wouldn't have been running
21:48:56n1shmm, yep sounds pretty weird... if rockbox would read very low values it should shut down with a battery warning anyway...

21:49:34O112358hmm, confusing
21:50:02O112358could it be a bug?
21:50:19O112358well it must be a bug
21:50:26amiconnIt's a bug in battery_bench
21:50:34n1sdunno, I havent run battery bench for several months, does it read constantly 60mV ?
21:50:40amiconn..introduced when switching to mV for battery voltages in rockbox
21:50:41O112358amiconn: ahh so it's not just me?
21:50:55amiconnIf voltage > 4.095V, it wraps to zero
21:51:30O112358n1s: no it goes from 60mV to 0mV over an hour and then once it gets to 0mV it jumps up to the proper value
21:51:55n1sO112358: then it sounds like exactly what amiconn said :-)
21:51:57amiconnThis is due to some bits in batt_info.voltage being used for other purposes
21:52:01O112358that seems to obey amiconn's theory :D
21:52:23*amiconn looks at XavierGr
21:52:39O112358yay mystery solved, thanks amiconn, i'll be able to sleep tonight
21:52:43amiconnXavierGr: Is there a special reason for this bit reuse, instead of using some bool members in the struct?
21:53:29O112358seems like my battery is just too much of a beast for rockbox to handle hehe
21:54:04amiconnNo, it's a plain bug
21:54:17amiconn...but in battery_bench only. The rest of rockbox is okay
21:54:37amiconnVoltage >4.095V is expected for fully charged LiIon

22:40:49preglowwhat cpu does the iphone have again? samsung arm core?
22:41:01BagderI think so
22:41:31StalwartAn analysis of the iPhone's firmware has revealed that the main Samsung chip (designated S5L8900) contains an ARM1176jzf processor, together with a PowerVR MBX 3D graphics co-processor.[67]

22:44:54Stalwartmultitouch x11 is already at beta stage and multitouch apps should arrive soon (which multitouchscreens becoming reality)
22:45:11Stalwartoh, and multitouch rockbox would rock too!
22:46:21LloreanRockbox doesn't really have much use for multitouch at the moment.
22:46:29linuxstbStalwart: Rockbox is a DAP firmware - I don't see its future as being a multi-purpose OS
22:47:01LloreanWere it ever ported to a touchscreen device, I'd just designate the edges of the screen the directional controls, and quadrants away from the edges four buttons or so.
22:47:21LloreanOr something similar after testing usability

22:48:03Bagderipod touch == iphone - phone ;-)
22:48:11LloreanBut on anything needing/expecting a full OS, Linux is better suited, and a tailored Rockbox sim (or app) like in theory exists for that one phone (did we ever hear back 'bout that)?
