#rockbox log for 2007-10-23

00:00:11n1sso does that mac parallell loading work like a regular move.l ?
00:00:15 Quit bertrik ("sleep")
00:01:47preglown1s: yeap
00:01:49preglowpretty much
00:01:58preglowjhMikeS: no new comments on msac and its timing?
00:02:05preglowif not i intend to use it
00:02:07n1sand it's basically free?
00:02:13preglown1s: one cycle extra if from iram
00:02:36preglowmac.l in coldfire is the closest to true dsp instructions you'll come with rockbox
00:02:48n1sand a move.l costs what? 2
00:02:59preglowit depends on operands, anything from 1 to 5
00:03:26preglowthat was wrong, btw
00:03:29preglow1 to 4
00:03:57*rasher wonders why the fireworks demo doesn't start in auto-fire mode by default, instead of showing the menu first
00:04:10preglowrasher: feel free to fix
00:04:56amiconnn1s: move.l from memory costs 2 cycles from iram with all "sane" addressing modes
00:04:56rasherI may just
00:05:07amiconnRegister indexed costs one cycle extra
00:05:29amiconnmove.w and move.b from iram cost 3 cycles though, also with one cycle extra for register indexed
00:05:56amiconnMCF5249UM.pdf, pages 64ff
00:06:34amiconnpreglow: I'm almost sure msac timing is identical to mac. Everything else just doesn't make sense
00:06:41preglowamiconn: i agree
00:07:50preglowooh, finally
00:07:55preglowqmf_synth() is perfect for emac
00:08:02preglowit's even bloody unrolled by four by default
00:09:10n1samiconn: thanks
00:09:14 Quit davina ("xchat on Ubuntu 7.04")
00:09:19preglowamiconn: can you do any faster clips to -32767..32767 with some fancy stuff than i do in that .S?
00:09:24 Quit Toxicity999 ("Leaving")
00:09:26preglowi'll be needing it again, i see
00:09:44amiconnYeah, I already wondered about that ugly clip.
00:10:01preglowi suck at stuff like that :/
00:10:01amiconn10 cycles without clip, 6 cycles with positive clip and 9 cycles with negative clip
00:10:20 Quit n1s ()
00:10:43 Nick fxb is now known as fxb__ (n=felixbru@h1252615.stratoserver.net)
00:10:44preglowmy only comfort is that gcc sucked even worse :)
00:10:45amiconnUnsigned byte clipping is easier to optimise as you can see in the mpeg2 idct
00:11:01preglowyeah, i know, already had a look at that, and saw no way to utilize that here
00:11:10preglowthat trick only works for eight bit values too
00:11:44amiconnIt also works for 16 or 32 with one extra instruction
00:11:53amiconnBut it works for unsigned
00:12:20preglowwell, if i bias the value by 32767, it can be unsigned, temporarily
00:12:23amiconnThe extra instruction would only be executed in the clipping case
00:12:40preglowthe value of 32767 is also already in a register
00:12:57amiconnFor unsigned we would need 65535
00:13:05preglowtrue...
00:13:13preglowi'm incredibly tight on registers at that point too
00:13:20preglowi basically have none free apart from d0 and d1
00:13:33preglowand d0 i can't modify
00:13:36amiconnBut cmp.l #IMM, reg is single cycle as cmp.l reg,reg
00:14:08preglowwhen it's already in cache, yeah
00:14:16preglowand this is a loop, so...
00:14:17amiconnIt's just slightly slower if the instruction pipeline starves because of too many consecutive instructions with extension words
00:14:24preglowahh, right
00:14:49amiconnBut an occasional instruction with extension words doesn't hurt
00:15:13 Quit ender` (" Connection Reset by Gypsies with Wire Cutters")
00:15:23 Quit Rondom ("Ex-Chat")
00:15:39amiconnFor 16 bit unsigned, you would just put an ext.w %d0 after the spl.b %d0
00:16:24amiconn(before the 1: label of course)
00:16:55preglowhmm
00:17:03preglowof course
00:17:04amiconnThat would be 4 cycles both non-clipping and clipping
00:17:17 Join xreigninflame [0] (i=48927114@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-64eee844adeab12c)
00:17:21amiconnCould pay off even with pre/post adjustment
00:17:22preglowplus biasing and unbiasing
00:17:22rasheramiconn: mandelbrot seems to have a weird blot of colour to the right of the "main feature" (at about 1,0 I would guess). Is this just an oddity of manelbrot, or a bug?
00:17:24preglowwhich would mean 6
00:18:07amiconnYes, and that equals the shortest path of your version, and is just 60% of the most likely path of yours
00:18:15xreigninflameim using vmplayer and i need a .vmx file. where can i get one and which one do i need to help develope RockBox?
00:18:24preglowamiconn: it will almost never clip
00:18:31amiconnYeah, exactly
00:18:49amiconnIn which case your version needs 1 cycles most of the time
00:18:54amiconn*10 cycles
00:18:59preglowyup
00:19:01amiconnWhere did that 0 go? :>
00:19:12rasherxreigninflame: did you read http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VMwareDevelopmentPlatform ?
00:19:37xreigninflamenope musta missed that thanks rasher

00:20:45amiconnpreglow: If you don't need the 32767 in a register, you can do that pre/post adjustment without an extra value in a register
00:21:10preglowamiconn: i don't need it, no
00:21:11amiconnAH, no, forget that

00:22:17preglowamiconn: reload file and check .order_8, is that right?
00:23:10amiconnUmm, slightly off
00:23:31amiconnAnd you can only clip to [-32768, 32767] that way
00:23:51amiconn(standard int16_t range)
00:24:23amiconnYou would have to add/sub 32768
00:24:38linuxstbjdGordon, kkurbjun: Regarding commit 15258, plugins can be disabled in tools/configure, there is no need to do it in SOURCES/SUBDIRS
00:25:40preglowamiconn: i wonder if that matters
00:26:02amiconnDoes the C source really clip to [-32767... ??
00:26:07preglowyep
00:26:11amiconnodd...
00:26:53 Join jhulst [0] (n=jhulst@unaffiliated/jhulst)
00:27:01preglowamiconn: well, it makes sense in some ways
00:28:02preglowamiconn: however, it won't matter much for us, i'll set up macsr to be saturating mode anyway, so if we get any off by one errors, it'll clip
00:28:38preglowamiconn: so, if i change that #32767 to #32768, it should work?
00:29:09amiconnyes
00:30:21preglownow wait up......
00:30:24preglowdoesn't emac have a 16 bit mode?
00:30:59*preglow checks docs
00:32:47mirakamiconn: have you evaluated if the C version implemented in asm without the emac could be as fast as the raw approach with full matrix mutls ?
00:33:23mirakI remember trying one but it crashed so I gave up. Mike S uses the traduction of the C version for arm
00:33:37mirakarm doesn't have a emac like ?
00:34:16preglownot as usable
00:34:29preglowslower and uses ordinary regs for accumulators
00:35:28mirakgood night
00:35:35 Quit mirak (Remote closed the connection)
00:36:15preglowbeh, the 16 bit stuff is only in frac mode
00:37:43preglowamiconn: speex uses 16 bit ints all over, if any -32768 is ever negated, something will puke quite badly
00:38:08preglowamiconn: i guess that's why the clip limits are as they are

00:44:26amiconnah, hmm
00:44:39preglowjust seems to move the rounding point to the middle of the accumulator, for 16 bit output
00:46:19preglowiir_mem16() is very late in the signal chain, though
00:46:24preglownot much processing should happen
00:46:25*amiconn still didn't come up with a clever way to do the 4-path split for the demac vector math

01:09:21nnkhi there
01:09:54Mouser_XHowdy.
01:10:20rasherOdd, idle time is reset when the backlight powers off, so Backlight: 90 seconds, idle poweroff: 1m will see the unit power off after 150 seconds
01:10:32nnkwas wondering what the power management status and the sound quality on the e200 sansa series is curently
01:10:40nnkanybody has any insight on that
01:10:45preglowhmm
01:11:05nnks/$/?
01:11:07nnk:)

01:12:55rasherpreglow: gpl has some sort of "include copyright statements in binaries under some conditions", so it's probably fine
01:13:03preglowZagor: i'm producing a new file, i'll just use whatever speex uses for a license
01:13:12preglowZagor: in case jmvalin wants to use the code
01:13:25nnkcan i assume both flac and ogg are supported without problems allready on the e200 series? (i seem to understand they are software implementations)
01:13:43nnk?
01:14:02nomelyeah.
01:14:05rashernnk: Yeah, that works just dandy
01:14:05Mouser_XUsually, once Rockbox gets running on a target, the audio formats also run without a hitch.
01:14:23Mouser_X(Though, it partially depends on the CPU speed of the unit, for some formats.)
01:14:49Mouser_XAs far as I know, the Sansa stuff is running fine and dandy.
01:14:58nnkwell, in that case, i would say the sansa e200 have a groundbraking firmware available, it seems to me it is more than usable
01:15:06***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:15:07Mouser_XVery true.
01:15:46nnki allready have a player, but i think tomorrow i will have a sansa, allthough it's "not wise". i have a hunch i won;t be able to help myself..
01:16:48nnkthanks to everybody who is working on this in anyway, btw, i was shocked looking through the manual...
01:16:51nnkhats off ;)
01:18:56nnkmouser_x: well, i guess in the case of the e200 series it shouldn;t be a problem, as far as i could tell from the specs, the cpu is quite a beast (200-something mhz, i was running linux on a thinkpad with less than that just one year ago :) )
01:20:52amiconnIt's an 80MHz arm dual core cpu
01:21:06preglowamiconn: did you see anything else stupid in that .S?
01:21:25amiconnno
01:21:34preglowokiedoke, commiting time, then
01:21:49preglowafter a couple of more tests
01:22:07amiconnI wonder whether we want different optimisations for the different arm targets
01:22:16preglowin what way?
01:23:19amiconnI noticed today that my (not working as I thought, because of alignment) idea how to optimise the vector add/sub would give a large gain on arm7tdmi, but only a small gain on arm920t
01:23:41preglowin which case: yes, i think we should
01:23:46amiconnThis one would probably on par on higher arm versions, but there might be some where it's the opposite
01:24:02preglowon gigabeat s, for example, we also have saturating dsp instructions we want to use
01:24:14 Join hcs [0] (n=agashlin@rockbox/contributor/hcs)
01:25:50amiconnMy idea for arm was using packed add/sub like on coldfire. But arm _demands_ alignment...

01:28:35rashernnk: sounds like the toshiba gigabeat f
01:29:00amiconnThat would be 300MHz

03:49:06scorcheit works just fine
03:49:10sarixeok
03:49:18sarixebecause my brother has a 60gb one
03:49:25sarixeand i installed rockbox on it for him
03:49:40sarixeexcept that it went away somehow, i don't know, something to do with the charger
03:49:50sarixeand the default firmware replaced itself
03:50:25Soapthe default firmware rarely does a full power-off on the firmware.
03:50:47sarixethat's what caused it?
03:51:28SoapSo unless he happened to install a new upgrade of his iPod's Apple firmware, what I suspect has happened is he booted once in to Apple firmware, and it has continued to sleep and awake, never fully powering off, and thus never invoking the bootloader, and thus never rebooting rockbox.
03:51:42sarixeno, he wouldn't have done that
03:52:43sarixe...and is rockbox compatible with the ipod database?
03:52:50SoapHe could very well have done that unintentionally.
03:52:55sarixetrue
03:53:12sarixebut usually itunes asks to update, and usually he doesn't update
03:53:18SoapI find my two possibilities both more probable than Rockbox removing itself.
03:54:25SoapRegardless, Rockbox is not able to read the iTunes database - this does not prevent you from using iTunes, though, as Rockbox is able to build its own database, and thus index all the wacky filenames iTunes uses when placing media on an iPod.

03:55:58sarixeright
03:56:05sarixeso... ipod tags all the files then?
03:56:20sarixeand then rockbox can read those tags
03:56:29SoapNo, it will build its database off of the filename if proper tags are not in the files.
03:56:37sarixeman, either way, i'd be using it for ogg, so it doesn't really matter
03:56:45Soap"it" being iTunes in this case.
03:56:55sarixeah, true
03:59:19sarixealso
03:59:37sarixethe whole reason i'm asking is that i'm considering purchasing an ipod
03:59:43sarixeand i definitely want rockbox on it
03:59:56Soapthe classic is not, and might never be, supported by Rockbox.
04:00
04:00:09sarixemight never? why's that?
04:00:14Soapyou would have to buy used, or old-in-stock 5.5th gen.
04:01:12sarixewell i suppose i could _deal_ with ipod's software, and mp3's
04:01:18 Join bryan_ [0] (n=bryan@cpe-76-179-68-20.maine.res.rr.com)
04:01:21SoapWhy? Because it is undocumented hardware with totally encrypted firmware. It will be a challenge to run any code on the hardware at all, and then you will need to reverse-engineer the hardware.
04:01:31sarixeo
04:01:38sarixeand they're not planning on releasing the specs?

09:33:36pondlifeI don't see how the newer bootloader would make things worse though
09:33:48pondlifeIIRC, the main change is some extra delays
09:34:02pondlifeDo you get an error in the failure case, or a lock?
09:34:29peturit locks after printing battery value
09:35:51pondlifeAre you happy building your own bootloader?
09:36:04peturnot yet ;)
09:36:11pondlifeAh :)
09:36:30pondlifeOK, I won't suggest use of printf :)
09:36:30peturwell I have a backup unit now so I should just do it
09:37:00pondlifeI expect it's the ata_init()
09:37:11pondlifeBut it would be good to know for sure
09:38:15peturI need more spare time first :(

10:15:25GodEater_pondlife: re: follow playlist, is it only broken on the archoses ?
10:17:22pondlifeGodEater_ No,. here on H340 too
10:17:31GodEater_well see my post then...
10:17:35pondlifeAuto-change dir doesn't update it
10:18:07GodEater_cos it works fine for me
10:18:10pondlifeMight be intermittent, I only tested it once and it failed the test
10:18:19pondlifeWouldn't surprise me.
10:18:24GodEater_I use it all the time
10:18:29pondlifeI'm running MoB at the moment, so can't retest
10:18:31GodEater_and it hasn't ever gone wrong for me
10:18:36GodEater_and I'm ALSO using MoB
10:19:09pondlifeDo you have dircache enabled?
10:19:12GodEater_yep
10:19:21pondlifeOK, me too
10:19:56GodEater_works fine on my other two targets as well
10:20:05pixelmaGodEater: it works for me while music is playing - but if stopped (and without auto-change directory) not the last song I played is selected but the first in the directory
10:20:27GodEater_doesn't stop currently clear the playlist though ?
10:20:59safetydan_preglow, are you subscribed to the speex dev list?
10:21:52pondlifeAh, just found a nice MoB bug.
10:22:04GodEater_Nico will be pleased
10:22:05pixelmaGodEater: no, not anymore. But I just tried on my Sansa and it seems to work now, will keep an eye on it
10:22:40GodEater_just so we're clear on what we're looking at here
10:22:52GodEater_we're talking about Follow Playlist not working when you have Auto-change directory ON?
10:23:15pondlifeYes
10:23:18GodEater_that's how I read the forum post in question anyway

10:23:22pixelmaI don
10:23:26pixelma't use it
10:23:28pondlifeI just reproed the bug with MoB
10:23:42GodEater_well as I say it works fine here =/
10:23:49pondlifeWhen you stop playback.
10:23:55pixelmaok, then it's an auto-change directoryy thing
10:24:04GodEater_and you mean *stop* not pause ?
10:24:07pondlifeYes
10:24:30GodEater_last playing track looks to be selected ok here
10:24:51pondlifeOK, play the last track in album A, let it move onto album B. Then press STOP.
10:25:05pondlifeDoes it in MoB too
10:26:08GodEater_ah ok - yes, that leaves it on the last track, not the one that just started
10:26:52*pondlife wishes that we could be clear that it's starting a new playlist that clears an old one, not pressing STOP.
10:27:01pixelmaah no (sorry for taking back the taken back). Still doesn't work correctly without auto-change directory - for me the last track I selected is highlighted not generally the first in the directory which got me confused
10:27:03pondlifeSeems a bit halfway at the moment
10:27:31GodEater_yeah, hitting select to show the current playlist works fine
10:27:40GodEater_also, having DONE that, hitting stop shows the correct file too
10:27:57pondlifeYep
10:28:00 Join LinusN [0] (i=linus@rockbox/developer/LinusN)
10:28:01GodEater_so it's some pecularity with stop
10:28:03pondlifeSomething's nearly right
10:28:06GodEater_:)
10:28:50pondlifeGodEater_: On MoB, if you enable Auto-change dir and turn repeat off, if you play the last track in a folder through, does it auto-advance?
10:28:57GodEater_yes
10:29:00pondlifeMine plays the same track again
10:29:10pixelmaI think JdGordon something why it's not easily possible with the current code... if I just could remember
10:29:13pondlifeBut the WPS is a bit confused
10:29:19GodEater_well the only way to get Autochange to work at all is to have repeat set to off
10:29:19pixelma+explained
10:29:23GodEater_otherwise it doesn't do anything
10:29:32pondlifeIndeed, just checking
10:29:54 Quit maddler (Connection timed out)
10:29:58pondlifeI selected track 19 in an album - the following album has 10 tracks.
10:30:25pondlifeI'm now hearing Album A Track 19 again, with the WPS displaying the right title, but as track 1 of 10
10:30:56pondlifeThen, after one repeat, it's moved onto Album B Track 1, displayed as track 2 of 10
10:31:17GodEater_are you crossfading or anything else ?
10:31:30pondlifeCrossfade is enabled but only for skip/random
10:31:35pondlifeSo shouldn't be involved here
10:31:39GodEater_hm
10:32:18GodEater_arse
10:32:26GodEater_hard lock when I change cross fade settings again
10:36:16GodEater_'tis a crossfade thingy
10:36:34GodEater_I just get the symptoms you describe, but only after having the same crossfade setting as you enabled.
10:36:43pondlifeAs opposed to what?
10:36:51pondlifei.e. What worked for you?
10:36:52GodEater_as opposed to no crossfade at all

10:37:48GodEater_playback absolutely refuses to work after a change to those damn settings those
10:37:59pondlifeYou need to reboot
10:38:10pondlifeChanging any crossfade settings really buggers up MoB
10:38:18GodEater_yep
10:38:48GodEater_I assume the reason it's stuffing up the autochange in your case is because you're using track-skip to change to the last track in the folder
10:38:54GodEater_before letting it do the auto-change
10:39:04pondlifeAh, but I'm not

10:39:43GodEater_ah ok
10:39:46GodEater_I take it back then
10:41:09GodEater_yep - confirmed. No crossfade at all results in perfect change
10:43:06pondlifeSmells like an </ <= type of thing
10:43:33*GodEater_ dribbles a bit and wonders what that means
10:43:43pondlifeLess than vs. less than or equal

10:56:53amiconnGodEater: The problem with 'follow playlist' is most probably that right now the wps sets the current browser position only when actively leaving it when music is playing
10:57:16amiconnBack when it was working properly, it did set the position on every track change.
10:57:25amiconnThat behaviour needs to be restored
10:58:17amiconnRight now 'follow playlist' never works when playback stops at end of list
10:58:30amiconn(both hwcodec and swcodec)
10:58:53pixelmaalso not when stopped by hand
11:00
11:00:36GodEater_how else would it stop ?
11:00:52amiconnAt the end of playlist...
11:01:01GodEater_sorry - was thinking of auto-change dir again
11:01:09*amiconn never uses auto-change dir
11:01:21*GodEater_ never not uses it
11:01:28amiconnAnd 'follow playlist' has been broken for months now :(
11:01:59GodEater_I've not noticed, since I never use "Stop"
11:02:07GodEater_in which case, it works just fine
11:03:11amiconnHow do you stop then? :>
11:03:15GodEater_pause :)
11:03:23GodEater_or turn it off
11:03:35amiconnI *always* stop before shutting down

11:04:02GodEater_pixelma: by all means comment ;)
11:04:18GodEater_your posting is more eloquent than mine anyway
11:04:30amiconnOn iriver you can - but that's not the problem.
11:05:42GodEater_indeed - but I never stop playback on my iriver when I power it off
11:05:45GodEater_don't see the point
11:06:23amiconn'Follow playlist' not working annoys me when I start an album in car, arrive at my destination, stop & shutdown when the album isn't finished. When resuming later, and the album then ends, it drops to the root dir...

13:01:09xazaxTentaclePorn: so... Youre databasefile was corrupted?
13:01:12bluebrotherpixelma: sure mpegplayer can seek? AFAIK it can only resume
13:01:18TentaclePornOh....
13:01:25Exiro1 song in mp3 format is 6 mb
13:01:39GodEater_so ?
13:01:46GodEater_the metadata in it is tiny
13:01:50TentaclePornWell, the database build completed, told me to reboot. I did, and now when I click database it still says ""database is not ready, initialise now"
13:01:53Exirowere is that mp3 file on the ipod nano?
13:02:04GodEater_what mp3 file ?
13:02:09Exiroon the ipod
13:02:21GodEater_I have ~8000 tracks and my database isn't even 1MB
13:02:32GodEater_what mp3 file are you talking about ?
13:02:35Exiroif the song on my comp is indexed, it still needs the songs itself on the ipod
13:02:38pixelmabluebrother: you can choose "set start time" which is basically like seeking, just not very convenient
13:03:04Exirowhen it plays a song, it needs an mp3 to read right?
13:03:21bluebrotheroh, nice. Haven't noticed that.
13:03:23GodEater_yes - but you were told earlier to copy it to your ipod
13:03:32TentaclePornHmm, now I have the same problem again, it just sits on "building database - 0 found"
13:03:33GodEater_how the heck should I know where you copied it to ?
13:03:40bluebrotherthough that screen is flickering like hell on my mini
13:03:50Exirono, i didn't copied
13:04:02GodEater_Exiro: then the mp3 isn't there is it ?
13:04:12GodEater_TentaclePorn: that could be due to a damaged music file
13:04:15pixelmabluebrother: yeah, it's not nice and the greyscale lib makes it worse I think
13:04:28Exiroright away, I removed all files from my ipod, then I installed Rockbox to it, the bootloader, fonts
13:04:36n1sTentaclePorn: could you do the same again with the delete bug go into that debug screen while it builds the database and see which is the last file it opens?
13:04:41Exiroand when I started it, it had a database with all my songs
13:04:59Exiroand I didn't copied them, they weren't in 'files'
13:05:13TentaclePornn1s: Sure thing, thanks for the help so far, by the way ;D
13:05:37Exirowere did that database come from?
13:06:17pixelmaprobably from the files you put on your Nano through iTunes
13:06:39Exirook, but where are those files now?
13:07:18Exirooh I get it
13:07:29Exirothe hidden folder "ipod controll"
13:07:37pixelmayou could see them in the file browser too but iTunes stores them in a folder that is hidden by default, you would need to set the "file view" option in Rockbox to "all" and look inside the ipod_control...

13:18:02TentaclePornthat's okay, thanks for the help
13:18:41TentaclePornlet me just make sure I have the right idea here - after initialising the database, I should be able to click on database and browse my artists and albums etc., am i right?

13:23:35n1sTentaclePorn: there are typically two things that break the database build, 1) files that break the metadata scanners for whatever reason (often due to exotic/corrupted/unsupported metadata) or 2) disk corruption so
13:23:53jhMikeScan't say...can't say I care if I break it more either since I don't own one and I need this running now :P
13:24:12n1swhat I would suggest is first a scan of the disk (pretty low chanse it will help but yeah
13:24:23TentaclePornI had a look through and the only files on my iriver are music and the .rockbox folder
13:24:33jhMikeSbut I can say I can't see the point in TTB_BASE being cast to an int * here

13:30:16peturit could?
13:30:25LinusNor the pcf50606
13:30:36LinusNit happens when the disk spins up, right?
13:30:41peturmy h340 has a new hi-capacity one
13:30:46peturyes

13:58:57Zagorthis is just bulk test code though, not actual ums yet
13:59:01GodEater_TentaclePorn: I suspect using some sort of tagging program to go through and check your music would be quicker
13:59:11GodEater_and just leave the rockbox install alone
14:00
14:00:48barrywardellZagor: I read about you're realisations that the USB isn't actually the i.MX31. Now that you mention it, I remember wondering about the number of endpoints before. I found there were three, but just assumed I'd made a mistake somewhere.
14:01:18preglowZagor: woooot!
14:01:28barrywardellthere were other differences too. I think the transceiver type was different than expected
14:01:41preglowZagor: why is that parameter non-zero at all?
14:01:42Zagorbarrywardell: actually I've reversed my claim that it isn't the same as i.mx31. the manual for i.mx31 is very vague about the capabilities, so I can't actually say if it is the same module or not
14:02:08barrywardellso it's a stripped down version?
14:02:13Zagorfor example all the registers say they reset to 000000, which they obviously don't
14:02:43preglowZagor: i don't even have that entry in /sys
14:02:48Zagorno, I rather suspect the manual section is copy/pasted from ARC:s module documentation, which obviously leaves a lot of configuration headroom
14:03:07jhMikeSthis revamped mpegplayer makes some interesting noises anyway
14:03:20Zagorpreglow: it's non-zero because some misbehaving devices don't work otherwise.
14:03:21TentaclePornGodEater: Ill give that a shot, thanks. Any tips as to what sort of stuff im looking for in the tags?
14:03:23barrywardellZagor: ah...how lazy of them
14:11:37GodEater_TentaclePorn: I wouldn't bother "looking" for anything. I'd use the tagging program to re-write them all (which should be automatible to some degree)
14:11:46GodEater_that way you know they're all good
14:11:53GodEater_and rockbox shouldn't choke on any
14:13:24amiconnZagor: woohoo, although 56kB/s isn't fast...
14:13:33amiconnIt's in fact slower than the Ondio
14:14:01TentaclePornOhh okay. Which program should I use? Just go through and make sure all their ID3 tags in windows media player are all good?

15:29:27preglowjhMikeS: correct, gas messes the encoding up completely, it seems
15:29:47preglowjhMikeS: i went from using msac.w with one constant multiplicand to just neg-ing it and using mac.l, went from locking up to running perfectly
15:29:50jhMikeSyou mean as in invalid instruction?
15:30:11preglownot invalid, it's an msac.w, but the register values are all messed up

15:32:55preglowit's worth remembering, it's handy here and there :)
15:32:57JdGordonisn using atemp var better? less mem access?
15:33:00amiconnAnyway, you won't save an instruction vs. using a temp reg

15:33:44amiconnUsing temp reg is 3 cycles, and using xor trick is 3 cycles
15:33:59amiconnBut the xor trick works for d regs only
15:34:00preglowamiconn: yes...
15:34:05preglowcompletely true

17:30:36JdGordonyeah, just as its about to turn off
17:32:22Nico_PI seem to hear the disk turn off then on straight after... isn't that a bit late?
17:32:42Nico_PI was thinking the callbacks would be called as soon as the disk is idle
17:32:49JdGordonno
17:33:01JdGordonthey are called when its ready to shutdown, then turns off straight away
17:33:57Nico_Pwhy?
17:34:21JdGordoni cant remember the discussion... but i remember there was one
17:34:24JdGordonyou want it changed?
17:36:28Nico_Pwell I'm relying on this to fill the buffer, and currently the behaviour is a bit weird: buffer the first track, wait, then when the disk is about to turn off, finish buffering
17:36:32markunscorche|w: no problems with the fire I hope?
17:37:04Nico_PJdGordon: ideally as soon as the first track is finished buffering it would finish filling and turn the disk off
17:37:35JdGordonthere isnt really a difference... other than a few secons
17:37:43JdGordonbut maybe the buffering thread should deal with that
17:38:07Nico_Pyeah but the disk is spinning during these seconds... there is energy to be saved there
17:38:24Nico_P(I call ata_sleep() when the buffer is full)
17:38:58Nico_Por maybe I should just manage the initial buffering all by myself
17:39:10JdGordonI tihnk that makes more sense
17:39:54Nico_Pyeah maybe. the callback is to take advantage of a spin caused by the user, is that how I should view it?

17:42:57webguest63i looked on the wiki and didnt see anything about it

17:44:57JdGordonyou can do that also
17:45:00Nico_Pok
17:45:04JdGordonbut it will prolong the disk spinning
17:45:06webguest63ive looked at it but i dont really wanna install another enviroment because my harddrive is getting really low on space
17:45:17JdGordoni.e if your thread catches it before the callbacks are fired
17:45:25JdGordonthen the timeout will restart
17:45:43Nico_PJdGordon: yeah then I don't need the callback anymore... It's for a different use case, isn't it?
17:46:11jhMikeSwebguest63: then it's out of scope on what we usually use. Building is linux based.
17:46:27JdGordonnot really... the buffering should only rebuffer if the buffer is low,it should spin the disk any extra

17:49:51webguest63why do i get the feeling that its not recomended that i use the bare minimum
17:49:56LloreanjhMikeS: The VMware image is hard to shrink partially because it's reserving that disk space.

18:01:14webguest63my appologizes i ment coding it
18:01:27bluebrotherit's the same as with creating an mp3: you don't need to know how mp3 works but you need the tools installed.
18:01:29webguest63u need to have knowledge of both C and Perl
18:01:56bluebrotherno, as long as you don't need to change the perl parts −− which is the build system
18:02:05webguest63i really enjoy rockbox and i am despertly trying to help out the community if only alittle
18:02:05LloreanJust C unless you want to do something advanced or performance critical, then ASM for the appropriate architecture. Perl is only really useful if you want to change how some of the actual compiling goes about its business.
18:02:06bluebrotherthe code itself is C and asm.
18:03:58webguest63asm as in assembly language or automatic storage management?

18:27:51BertrixI have an iPod nano, I know recording via the line-out isn't going to work(except some stories cranking very high level signals in the port, possibly working due to crosstalk)
18:27:57Bertrixbut will it record via the line-in channel on the dock connector
18:28:06 Join spiorf [0] (n=spiorf@87.13.120.184)
18:29:12LloreanEvidence suggests it won't.
18:29:34LloreanAt least, I recall people testing the diagnostic mode recording test and getting no results.
18:29:42BertrixIt has been tested?
18:29:43Bertrixah
18:30:21BertrixProbably somewhere on the board will be a trace going to the ADC input, as recording via cross-talk seems possible
18:30:27Bertrixor maybe thats just over the power supply
18:31:24linuxstbI'm pretty sure people have reported line-in recording works on the Nano.
18:32:09BertrixI read that, but I don't know how it can work
18:32:21linuxstbThere is only one "line-in" on any ipod - in the dock connector. Some ipods also have a switchable mono mic input in the right-channel of the headphone socket.

18:41:25linuxstbBertrix: AFAIK, no. At the very least, no official microphones exist for the Nano that attach to the headphone jack (like earlier ipods). Also, there is no code in Rockbox to enable the headphone jack as input on the Nano - it's a GPIO pin that needs to be toggled on the ipods which do support it.
18:41:59Bertrixlinuxstb, ok thanks

21:26:40Buschelamiconn: so, you assume something like a framesync. as we always measure about 14ms (independent of the transfer time before −− e.g. 100ms for full screen YVV or 30ms for simple screen update) this would mean we always wait avg 14ms and the LCDs frames all are 28ms? so, the LCD waits for next frame sync to be completed?
21:27:24amiconnSomething like this, yes. As I said - needs more experimentation and research
21:27:46Buschelif so, the theoretical maximum fps is 1000/28ms = 36fps

23:25:51amiconnFor scalarproduct() it's the other way round

23:26:18 Quit ompaul (Client Quit)

23:27:50amiconnI also applied that kind of optimisation (just locally so far) to the coldfire scalarproduct(), also giving a little speedup
23:27:56preglowjust look at the code
23:28:04preglowthe first arg is always the start of an array
23:28:09preglowso i'd say yes
23:28:09amiconnI know
23:28:28amiconnI would like to know whether I can rely on this behaviour to stay
23:28:43preglowi'd be surprised if the answer is no
23:28:54preglowbut then i do end up surprised quite a lot...
23:29:10amiconnOn coldfire, breaking that assumption would mean performance drop, on arm it would either crash (data abort) or produce white noise (on targets where aligncheck is disabled)
23:30:48preglowhmm? the fetches fail silently without aligncheck?
23:30:55amiconnSpeedup from the verctor add/sub on arm7: -c2000 66%->73%, -c3000 37%->43%, -c4000 11%->15%
23:31:14amiconnNo, without aligncheck they rotate the word
23:31:30*preglow wonders if we want that behaviour
23:31:49preglowwouldn't it be better to have them fail and consistently find bugs?

23:34:11preglowit surely seems to be what is happening
23:34:51amiconnyes
23:35:14amiconnIf you access empty address areas, you get a bus hang
23:35:22amiconnThe bus cycle simply never completes...
23:35:35*preglow wants an mmu
23:37:08preglowme reset button is probably wearing out as we speak

23:39:58linuxstbamiconn: I think that's a fair assumption. But we should probably add some appropriate comments, just in case.
23:41:05amiconnpreglow: btw, ldm behaves different from ldr on unaligned access with aligncheck disabled...
23:41:23amiconnldm just ignores the 2 lsbs
23:42:45linuxstbamiconn: Would it make sense to swap the order of the params to scalarproduct, to keep the alignment requirements consistent?
23:43:30amiconnImho it doesn't matter, but if you want, the swap is trivial, as the scalproduct itself is completely commutatve
23:43:40amiconn(unlike the vector_add and vector_sub)
23:43:56linuxstbI know, but I'm assuming your implementation is assuming the second is aligned?
23:43:58amiconn*scalarproduct even

23:44:09amiconnAtm it does
23:44:21amiconn(for coldfire - arm doesn't care yet)
23:44:46linuxstbThat's all I mean - if you swap it, then all three functions will require the first arg to be aligned.

23:47:15linuxstbDo you have an ARM scalarproduct yet?
23:47:20amiconnno
23:47:35amiconnFor arm9 it probably doesn't pay off to load 32 bit packed
23:48:03amiconn..because arm9 ldrh is single cycle, unless the result is needed in the next instruction
23:48:13amiconnBut on arm7 ldrh is 3 cycles...

23:48:41linuxstbWhat is a normal ldr?
23:48:45linuxstb(on arm7)
23:49:25amiconnAlso 3 cycles
23:49:50amiconnBut (1) this means loading 2 values at once and (2) loading 32 bit words allows using ldmia
23:49:52 Join kx [0] (n=kx@122.169.143.115)
23:50:01amiconnAnd ldmia is (n+2) cycles
23:50:33amiconnSo loading 4 32 bit words with ldmia needs 6 cycles, while loading 8 halfwords with ldrh needs 24 cycles...
23:51:33amiconnLooking at that, it even pays off to do some bit shuffling afterards
