00:06:21pigaIt is a generic. It is made in my country.

00:07:56pigaHow do you test the builds? Is there a simulation platform?
00:08:26gevaertsExclamation: yes. That's what's usually meant.
00:08:35LloreanExclamation: Have you tried manually rebooting into the apple firmware?
00:08:53ExclamationLlorean: yes, it works with the apple firmware
00:09:07Lloreanpiga: What do you mean "test"? There a UI simulator, for testing non-hardware things.
00:09:19gevaertspiga: there are simulators that are mostly used for testing gui work, but hardware-level testing happens on the actual players
00:09:21LloreanExclamation: Well, since Rockbox doesn't have a USB mode, you're supposed to use the apple software for now.
00:10:30ExclamationIt was working yesterday, when i plugged in the cable a usb image showed up on the screen

00:11:28gevaertspiga: for normal rockbox builds, that's safe (for normal changes...), testing bootloader builds can be risky on some platforms
00:12:02LloreanExclamation: If you downloaded one of the SVN builds, it should never have connected without automatically rebooting into the Apple Disk Mode.
00:12:47gevaertsExclamation: hmm. Is it possible for system_reboot() to fail (and therefore return and continue) on ipod ?

00:14:37Exclamationgevaerts: yeah
00:14:46gevaertsOK. That's what it's meant to do currently
00:15:00Exclamationyes, its not doing that now when i plug it in
00:15:26Exclamationit just stays on the menu
00:15:31DefineByteJust wondering, does rbutil try using volume size to guess the mount point?
00:15:36Exclamationand a small icon shows up beside the battery
00:15:49gevaertsExclamation: Did you upgrade, or is it still the same version ?

00:16:22markungevaerts: I just found this http://web.interware.hu/rudas/dbalatoni/S5L840F.pdf
00:16:51Exclamationgevaerts: i did a reinstall, i think its the same version though
00:16:56markuna lot of the addresses are the same as the ones from the S5L8700 and hopefully they function in the same way as well
00:18:20gevaertsExclamation: what version is it exactly ? You can find that in System->Rockbox Info
00:18:32linuxstb_gevaerts: No, system_reboot (on ipods at least) shouldn't fail
00:19:08gevaertslinuxstb_: thanks. I had ruled out that possibility on other grounds, but it's still good to know
00:19:52linuxstb_gevaerts: Checking the code, there's a while(1) at the end - so the worst that can happen is that it freezes there
00:20:51Exclamationgevaerts: i just downgraded to r16717M-080319 and its working again. so i must have upgraded when i reinstalled
00:21:00gevaertsmarkun: one problem: this one doesn't seem to do USB 2.0.
00:21:12markungevaerts: not USB no
00:21:55markunso lets hope some other datasheet like the S3C2443X match for that
00:22:31gevaertsExclamation: Thanks. That means I made a mistake somewhere today. I'll fix it as soon as possible.
00:23:47Exclamationgevaerts: np, thanks for your help.
00:23:54 Part Exclamation ("Leaving")
00:24:55markungevaerts: but I guess it's useful for RTC, interrupts, DMA etc
00:25:36gevaertsmarkun: probably. And I guess if we have to choose between USB and all the rest, the choice is clear
00:25:40 Quit CaptainKewl (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))

00:25:55gevaertsUSB of course :)
00:25:59markunwe'll figure it all out eventually
00:26:16markunmaybe kgb2008 comes up with the datasheet next week ;)

00:28:48amiconnThis spinup at each track change is really annoying
00:30:58 Quit DefineByte ("Bye all")
00:31:14HodappI get a bit of that too . . . I just get really annoyed when I have to wait like 20 seconds while it spins the disk up and does whatever it's doing while I try to change tracks.
00:31:40dcbahrok so it's not just me where it does that with the spinup, it makes fast navigation damned near impossible
00:31:41amiconnThat's not what I mean

00:32:31gevaertsHodapp, dcbahr : do you have dircache enabled ?
00:32:37saratogapiga: I added the arm emulator idea
00:32:40amiconnRockbox spins up the disk at track change when playing continuously, even if there are several tracks in buffer
00:32:49Hodappgevaerts: how does one tell?
00:32:50dcbahrbut right now i'm stuck with the spelling of filenames because of some error in the script, even thenough I reinstalled the zip file, I don't get it
00:32:58Lloreanamiconn: There have been bugs on that for a little while, I thought it got fixed though.
00:33:19amiconnIf dircache is enabled, it doesn't do this, but I don't want to enable dircache on 16MB targets

00:36:14pigasaratoga: Hello, I think I can use ArchC (http://www.archc.org/) to do an arm emulator
00:37:03*gevaerts can now reproduce Exclamation's bug
00:37:30saratogapiga: I've heard of system-c but never used it
00:37:40saratogai assume it has free compilers and such available?
00:39:24pigasaratoga: Yes, the systemc is a C++ library and it is available at (http://www.systemc.com)
00:40:03saratogaah sounds cool
00:40:14markungevaerts: didn't code anything yet
00:40:28gevaertspiga: I think you mean http://www.systemc.org/

00:41:07pigagevaerts: right!
00:41:49saratogapiga: my concern is that they don't claim to have a complete ARM simulator suitable for running an OS
00:41:54saratogathere is one on google
00:42:11saratogabut i'd be hesitant about using something like this that isn't extremely well tested
00:42:32pigasaratoga: SystemC no but ArchC yes
00:42:33saratogatrouble shooting the emulator itself would be a nightmare i think, and then you'd have to worry about the rockbox parts
00:43:06pigaArchC has an ARM processor implemented
00:43:40pigaand I think I could use it to do an emulator
00:43:52pigaThat is my idea
00:44:21saratogapiga: its not on their download page (just sparc, ppc, mips. etc)
00:44:29 Quit mirak ("Ex-Chat")
00:44:46gevaertspiga: are there ArchC models for coldfire and sh available ?
00:45:21*gevaerts tries to help here, but won't really be involved in the emulator later on
00:45:55gevaertspiga: I'm asking because those are used by other rockbox targets, so they could be useful as well (but probably not required)
00:46:14*amiconn still doesn't understand how it is possible to emulate something that's not completely known
00:46:33pigasaratoga: You are right, it is not on the page. But I worked with archc team and they have an ARM processor
00:46:51saratogaits stable enough to boot linux or something similar?
00:47:08linuxstb_piga: Do you know which ARM(s) ?
00:47:35linuxstb_amiconn: My thoughts as well...
00:47:56*gevaerts doesn't want to get into that discussion

00:48:37saratoga3linuxstb: i see an arm7tdmi emulator in archc on google that claims to be cycle accurate
00:49:03pigagevaerts: I think they don't have this. But it is not difficult to model a processor
00:49:28saratoga3if gcc can compile for it, you can emulate it, just you might not get the instruction cycle times accurate

00:50:11gevaertsOF needs lots of peripherals
00:50:14linuxstb_The ARM core is just a tiny part of it...
00:51:34pigasaratoga3: What do you mean by OF?

00:58:57saratoga3i still haven't worked all the bugs out from last year

00:59:23scorche|sh;)
01:00
01:02:18pigaI'm studying the project and I had this idea.
01:02:48saratoga3piga: its an interesting idea
01:03:06saratoga3how difficult would it be for c programmers to add to things in system c ?
01:03:22saratoga3this project would need to be somewhat accessible to future hardware hackers
01:04:57gevaertsLambdaCalculus37: I had to revert the fix for your charger problem (which I can't reproduce here btw). It caused other problems. I'll think some more about it when I'm more awake
01:05:00pigaYou don't need to know systemc just ArchC.
01:05:10pigaArchC is an upper layer
01:05:23pigathe hierarchy is:
01:05:41pigaArchC translate to systemC
01:05:49pigasystemC translate to C++
01:06:00pigathen if you know C++ you know archC
01:06:03 Nick fxb__ is now known as fxb (n=felixbru@h1252615.stratoserver.net)
01:06:53pigaonly if you pretend to work with time accurate you need to know systemc
01:07:25pigaarchc provides and easy way to model processor and platforms
01:07:45gevaertsWhat's the license for systemc ?

01:10:01saratogahmm theres a systemc live cd out there
01:10:11saratogathis looks much more interesting then verilog
01:10:56*Nico_P currently studies VHDL
01:11:33pigaAnd it is. Because you can do a behavioral model, co-simulation...
01:11:47pigaand RTL model too
01:12:02pigayou choose the abstract level that you want
01:12:02*petur thinks Nico_P should apply for a job where he works - currently seeking VHDL people ;)
01:12:16Nico_Ppetur: I'm still a real noob :)
01:12:36pigaVHDL I know
01:12:41saratogai couldn't get into vhdl non-c languages just feel so wrong to me
01:12:53pigaI did a the Theora Hardware implementation in VHDL
01:13:27Nico_Psaratoga: really? try things like functional programming ;)
01:14:25Nico_Ppiga: did you produce a chip from it? (sorry if this sounds like a silly question, I'm still a bit unfamiliar with all this)
01:15:36 Quit goffa (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
01:15:45pigaNico_P: Not yet. The problem is that it has a lot of PADs and the it increases and it will be too much expensive
01:15:56pigaI validated it on FPGA
01:16:46Nico_PPADs?
01:18:04saratogathe pins on the chip i assume?
01:18:18pigaYes, you are right
01:18:32pigathe pins increased the area
01:19:23pigaand consequently the price
01:19:44saratogawhy so many pins for a video decoder?
01:21:38pigaIt was not so many. It has about a hundred
01:22:32pigaBut there was a processor that does some decisions
01:23:14pigaThe hardware does the iDCT and the last part of algorithm
01:23:26pigaThe bus is 32 bits
01:23:48pigaAnd I didn't use in/out pins
01:24:15pigaThat why there is a lot of pins
01:25:12pigaBut backing to ARM emulator
01:25:48pigaDo you think it is feasible? Sure I should learn more about rockbox
01:26:14saratogapiga: if you can boot linux you're a good bit of the way
01:26:34saratogayou'd then have to implement support for whatever hardware is being used by the rockbox drivers
01:26:57gevaertspiga: you could also look into different projects, like a theora plugin for rockbox ;)
01:27:10 Join goffa [0] (n=goffa@216.220.23.105)
01:27:13saratogagenerally this would be a display, buttons, DAC, and IDE interface

01:27:50Nico_Pscorche|sh: the beasts probably have enough power :)

01:28:30*gevaerts basically only knows that theora exists, and works on his laptop
01:29:00*Nico_P doesn't know much more
01:29:15Nico_PI'm curious about dirac
01:29:28*gevaerts thinks he fixed all the bugs he introduced today, so he's probably allowed to go to sleep now
01:29:34*markun about Snow
01:29:56saratogafor rockbox h.264 is probably most interesting because it is an open specification and is natively fixed point
01:30:26saratogathough no doubt it suffers from the usual MPEG specification over design
01:31:50*gevaerts would really like to understand how all these codecs work, but he's forced to work on usb all the time :(
01:32:07pigasaratoga: Theora doesn't use float point, neither fixed point it is integer based
01:33:15*scorche|sh signals the guards to poke gevaerts a few more times with the spear
01:33:37ryranpoor gevaerts
01:34:35pigaI run theora on a LEON (spark like processor) with 50MHz. But real time videos just with low resolutions, lesser than 160x120
01:35:17Nico_Ppiga: how does that compare to the ones we have?
01:36:33pigaNico_P: I don't know. But I think and iPOD has a processor more powerful than the LEON
01:37:00gevaertsIt's a 80MHz dual-core ARM
01:37:01scorche|shdual core 80MHz
01:37:02Nico_PiPods are basically the least powerful of our targets
01:37:13amiconnNot true
01:37:22scorche|shat a resolution of 320x240
01:37:33Nico_Pamiconn: is it for colour ones?
01:37:35scorche|shNico_P: i assume you mean SWcodec?
01:37:42Nico_Pthat too
01:37:47amiconnI mean swcodec, yes, but not colour
01:37:58amiconnThe least powerful swcodec target is the iFP7xx
01:38:14scorche|shi dont think that counts as it isnt on "the list"
01:38:16amiconn60MHz arm, single core
01:38:17Nico_Pah yes. I had completely forgotten about that one... are there others?
01:39:15amiconnOther than that, it's hard to tell which targets are more or less powerful. It depends a lot on what the code does
01:39:33Nico_Ptrue. hence my use of "basically"
01:39:40pigaamiconn: I agree
01:39:53amiconnThe PP targets have dual arm, which are slow at multiplying but have good caches and fast ram access
01:40:24amiconnOtoh, the coldfire targets have the fast emac unit, but no data cache and a slow ram interface
01:40:35saratogathat slow multiplier is maddening
01:40:43saratogasuch a stupid design choice for an mp3 player
01:41:03amiconnThe most obvious effect: Coldfire decodes mp3 with no boosting, but has a hard time with mpeg video
01:41:25amiconnThe pp targets run mpeg video like a charm, but still struggle somewhat with mp3
01:41:39pigaamiconn: Theora requires many multiplications
01:42:01saratogapiga: should be similar to mpeg though
01:42:06saratogathey're both doing the same transform
01:42:16pigayes
01:42:34saratogamp3 is nice mostly because you do a whole lot of multiplies on a smaller amount of data (which can be in internal RAM)
01:42:35pigaBut do you think is a good idea to try port theora to rockbox?
01:42:40saratogathough ARM has trouble
01:42:45ItalianPianistinteresting... amiconn how much cpu power in percentage do you think 100 multiplications/second will drain in coldfire targets?
01:42:56saratogaamazingly little
01:43:18saratogayou've got 124 million clocks a second when boosted
01:43:43ItalianPianist... how much clocks/sec spent for a mul?
01:43:53amiconnDepends
01:44:08saratogaemac is pipelined right?
01:44:08amiconnThe EMAC unit has single-cycle throughput, but not single-cycle latency
01:44:12amiconnyes
01:44:41amiconnSo as long as you're mac'ing, it's fast. Independent multiplications are significantly slower
01:45:08amiconnThe bad thing is that gcc doesn't support the emac, so all emac code has to be written in asm
01:45:09ItalianPianistbasically my idea is to furtherly optimize resizing algo by precalculating all pixels steps in table
01:45:24saratogafor mpeg?
01:45:59amiconn(but since gcc isn't very good at optimising in general, that's probably not a big loss)
01:46:15ItalianPianistno it's for a game... i've managed to remove every mul apart from 1 in my algo...so the coldfire makes 1x 176 lines mul/frame
01:46:53 Quit petur ("Zzzzz")
01:47:09ItalianPianisti'd like to know how much cpu power is spent in muls ... maybe the optimisation would be not so useful
01:48:51saratogawith straight gcc code, both arm and coldfire can probably sustain several tens of millions of multiplies a second
01:49:09 Quit gevaerts ("much too late already")
01:49:16saratogawell not arm
01:49:26saratogathats probably closer to 15 million or so
01:49:46saratogabut i can't remember off hand what the throughput is
01:50:20 Part ryran ("Leaving")
01:50:22amiconnarm multiplys have varying cycle count afaik (if early termination is implemented)
01:52:25pigasaratoga: I will study the archC ARM implementation and the rockbox. Next week I'll give you some feedback. Could be?
01:52:32ItalianPianistmmm too interesting... maybe i can save some cpu power to be able to do good sound mixing... mmmm tomorrow i'll try...
01:56:00amiconngrrrmbl :\
01:56:55amiconnIt looks like we need to convert the plugins to use the action api (not the pluginlib actions)
01:57:51amiconnThe button #defines are starting to become kinda messy if we want to properly support main & remote buttons (a necessity on the M3)
01:58:24*amiconn will do a quick hack first to get the plugins to compile

03:16:31UNHchabocurious about one thing:
03:17:08UNHchabois there a way i can play all albums sequentially in track order? so far the only way I've found to play all songs is to play them alphabetically by track title

03:23:58Davide-NYCHello all. I just picked up a refurbished Sansa C140 for cheap. Is this thing based on the same chip as the Sansa Express?
03:24:39Davide-NYCAlso, will anyone care if I rip it apart and post high-res scans of the PCB?
03:24:55linuxstb_Davide-NYC: I don't think so - the C140 is TeleChips (TCC770)
03:25:04Davide-NYCMan this thing is all cheap and plasticy. Yuck.
03:25:15Davide-NYClinuxstb: and the express is what?
03:25:24linuxstb_No idea, but something else I think
03:25:29Davide-NYChmm
03:25:42Davide-NYCbecause I really like the "all in one" aspect of the express.
03:26:01Davide-NYCthis C140 thing is pretty nasty.
03:27:27linuxstb_Looking at a Sansa Express firmware, it has the STMP string in, so I guess it's some kind of Sigmatel chip
03:27:49Davide-NYChrmm. I thought I was being all helpful. :-/

08:12:12Mouser_X(I don't know.)
08:13:27BagderI can't remember exactly but it was 10-12 something
08:13:39Bagderand we got 20 student applications
08:13:49Mouser_XSo 10 isn't too bad then. 20 last year, or this year?
08:14:06Bagder20 last year, this year's application period hasn't started yet
08:14:36Mouser_XAh. Again, I didn't know. I like the GSoC thing. It gets some pretty nifty stuff going for Rockbox.
08:14:47Mouser_X(When done right.)
08:14:52Bagderindeed
08:15:56Mouser_XIt'd be nice to see playback.c fixed. For GSoC, I'm somewhat doubtful that will happen. It sounds like it's a pretty big project to do that one (though, one that would be really nice).
08:16:27Mouser_XNext to that I'd like to see the ScummVM port (or whatever it is. Lots of stuff to do with that..)

08:40:39JdGordonwell yeah, but whats needed is a full ledged group effort to fix/rebuild it
08:40:56LloreanI'm not sure if he just picked me randomly from the list of people willing to mentor on the SoC 2008 page, or what.
08:41:32JdGordonwhat was the email about?
08:41:40LloreanA SoC project proposal.
08:41:55LloreanFrankly, one that I can't see has anything, at all, to do with Rockbox.
08:42:23JdGordonof course :D

Since I'm not accepted as a mentor yet, I probably shouldn't be the one to say "It doesn't sound like your project is right for us, but if you think it is, you might want to explain how it actually relates to Rockbox and make a description available publicly"
08:50:27Mouser_XIn regards to plaback fixes, what I'd really like is better back-seeking. Specifically, ADXs still bug out when attempting to loop (not nearly as often, or as badly as they used to when MoB was first commited, but it still happens somewhat often).
08:51:00Mouser_XI'm sure this is a priority to very few people.

11:02:08LloreanFlite's surely better than nothing.
11:02:09markunfor english only I guess it's ok
11:02:25linuxstb_I guess we have the choice of flite or "old espeak"
11:03:20LloreanDid we ever finish speaking with the espeak author?
11:03:21markunI think even an older espeak is better than flite, which also isn't worked on anymore
11:03:49LloreanLast I heard, he didn't understand that we'd have to compile his software into our program to use it, so didn't see the license conflict.
11:03:59LloreanI'd honestly prefer "old espeak" from a listener's perspective. I find voices generated with it easier to understand, especially with noise.
11:05:54markunyes, I can imagine that rockbox plugins just look like applications. Other projects can also use plugins with different licenses.

11:24:42amiconnI wanted to port XSkat, but its license is gpl incompatible. I contacted the author, but he refused to put XSkat under a gpl compatible license one way or another. So I won't port it, even though it would be nice to have a Skat game plugin...
11:25:18nls_webmarkun: maybe but speex is compiled in so we would have to invent some other way to do it...
11:25:46*nls_web googles XSkat
11:29:40markunwhy do there have to be multiple versions of the GPL :(
11:30:24amiconnespeak is gplv3?
11:30:27markunyes
11:30:34markunwhich you also prefer, right?
11:30:44amiconnyes
11:31:03markunI've never read the v3 license in detail
11:32:09*linuxstb_ abandoned a mame port for the same reason...
11:32:22amiconnI prefer the gpl v3 because of 2 details: it has rules which try to prevent tivoisation, and it explicitly forbids drm code

11:33:28markunwhat's the advantage of forbidding drm code?
11:33:31linuxstb_I don't have strong objections to DRM (although I never "buy" such tracks), but I prefer v3 because of the no-tivoisation clauses.
11:33:48nls_webWas it ever concluded if we could convert rockbox to gplv3?
11:34:54linuxstb_I still think we could (for code that isn't explitly v2 only - e.g. code we've imported from Linux), but others disagree with my interpretation of the standard Rockbox license.
11:34:56 Quit miepchen^schlaf (Success)
11:35:04linuxstb_And there are others that don't want to move to v3...
11:35:12linuxstb_(regardless of whether it's possible or not)
11:36:17gevaertsFor the record : I don't mind any of the code I submitted to be GPLv3.
11:37:39*gevaerts rereads that three times and gets confused. Let's just say "My code can be GPLv3 if the project wants that"

13:43:08fiXXXerMetWill it, by any chance, delete all of the music that I have already on my device?
13:43:21krazykitfiXXXerMet, it does not delete anything.
13:43:24yavior is it a hardware lack..
13:43:29peturfiXXXerMet: backing up does not hurt

13:44:24yavibut it does not XD
13:44:45Beta2KIt might be

13:44:50DefineBytedo you know your CD player does?
13:45:12Beta2KYour iPod might be outputting at the -10dB spec and you CD player may be running at +4dB
13:45:26yavimm no I don't know the output of the cd but I see it much better

13:53:51markunthat can't be
13:54:19yaviI modify the volume and nothing happends
13:54:33markunbut the equalizer should change the sound
13:54:48yaviI am going to check again
13:56:34yaviit works it works
13:56:40Beta2KThe EQ modifies the gain of the digital audio so it should change your line out level
13:56:55Beta2KReally sounds like you just happen to have a +4dB outputting CD player
13:57:18Beta2KYou not "loosing" anything, the signal is just a bit hotter from teh CD player
13:57:30yaviaham

14:02:37gevaertsfiXXXerMet: any recommendations to improve the text ?
14:03:07fiXXXerMetStep 2.3 makes you think that you should hold the Record button until it tells you to let go, AND THEN do step 2.4
14:04:34linuxstbWe could change it to "continue to hold it during the next two parts of this step"

14:13:40gevaertsI think the SansaE200RInstallationFromLinux page shouldn't include the rm -rf ~/sansa/ line. If people follow that blindly, and already had a sansa directory, this could be dangerous

18:09:33codesquidonly the rockbox one works (with sansapatcher -bl)
18:10:28gevaertsWhat goes wrong ?
18:11:24codesquidit just doesn't boot anymore
18:12:21codesquiddid e200tool recover, made it to boot into recovery mode while holding rec while e200tool worked, then I copied the OF .mi4 file and created sansa.fmt, unplugged cable
18:12:55codesquiddoesn't come up then
18:13:14codesquidback into manufacturing mode, e200tool, let it work and when it finished OF came up
18:13:19 Quit mcuelenaere (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
18:13:24codesquidnote a normal reboot still didn't work
18:13:30gevaertsWhat _might_ help is booting rockbox with a usb-enabled build, then zeroing the firmware partition. At least on c200 the OF doesn't really handle unexpected data well
18:14:05codesquidwith dd I suppose?
18:14:47gevaertsYes. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdwhatever2. Also make sure that the data partition isn't corrupted
18:15:05codesquiddata partition is freshly formatted I think
18:15:18gevaertsThat should be fine then.
18:17:25gevaertsLosNir had basically the same problem on c250 in http://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20080310
18:17:48codesquidhmm the partition table seems odd

18:21:42gevaertss/might/does/
18:21:57codesquidI'll try zeroing-out the firmware partition
18:23:48gevaertsThe key to be able to reinstall the OF bootloader on c200 seems to be (a) a correct partition table and FAT, and (b) no half-correct remains of the OF (i.e. you need either zeroes or a working OF)
18:24:52gevaertsI wasn't sure if e200 was the same (I only have data from three c250 users, including me), so in a sense it's useful to know that you have the issue as well
18:30:10codesquidhmm
18:30:17codesquidI think I always land in the prebootloader USB mode
18:30:41codesquidI can install the rockbox bootloader through some hoops, just not the OF one
18:31:04codesquidgevaerts, do you by change have the OF bootloader for e280 that works with sansapatcher -bl ?
18:31:40codesquid(european edition)
18:32:18gevaertsNo. I'm not really a sansa specialist. The only things I know were learned by randomly writing stuff to the internal flash through early usb bugs, and then spending two days recovering
18:32:45codesquidhaha
18:33:12codesquidif you try long enough writing from /dev/random it will eventually work ;)
18:34:03gevaertsIt was my first test of the usb sd card support. Only the code wrote to the wrong device, so it read from sd and wrote to internal. After copying about 1.5GB of mp3s it didn't boot any more :)
18:35:12gevaertsRecovery mode worked, and installed a new OF and bootloader, but those didn't like the FAT enough to actually do anything (including USB)

18:36:38gevaertscodesquid: maybe your best bet would be to find another e280 owner and just "borrow" his firmware partition (i.e. dd it to yours). AFAIK that contains the bootloader. Of course, you can stay with pure rockbox...

20:24:19gevaertsIn usb.c, the function try_reboot() does some magic, and then calls system_reboot(). This code was moved there from usb-fw-pp502x.c. For H10, it checks if(button_status()==BUTTON_RIGHT), but I have no idea why.
20:24:37gevaertsbarrywardell: Can you see if it reboots if you connect while holding the right button ?
20:24:43barrywardellok
20:25:16barrywardellit does
20:25:19*gevaerts is expecting some unhappy H10 users when this bug is fixed
20:25:37barrywardellalthough holding right also makes it not go into usb mode
20:25:48barrywardellso I had to time my button press just right!
20:26:29amiconngevaerts: It's on purpose that the H10 requires pressing the right button for reboot
20:26:45barrywardellamiconn: but the behaviour is broken since the last while
20:26:58*gevaerts remembers something about OF and right button
20:27:01amiconnYes
20:27:04barrywardellright now enables charging on H10
20:27:19amiconnThe MTP OF only goes into UMS mode when holding Right at boot
20:27:48amiconnAnd both for the big H10 and the H10 pure, there are only MTP OF versions
20:28:18amiconnOn the small H10 one can choose between MTP and UMS OF
20:28:52gevaertsOK. So I guess the real bug is in usb.h, which defines BUTTON_RIGHT as the one to hold for powered-only mode
20:29:04barrywardellgevaerts: yes

20:29:50*gevaerts thinks about the best way to solve this
20:30:25linuxstb_Mouser_X2: I expect the patch author would welcome feedback on flyspray...
20:30:27*barrywardell suggests enabling UMS by default on H10
20:30:42amiconngevaerts: Basixally the power-only vs. ums selection on H10 should work inverse to the other targets

20:33:55gevaertsYes. The easiest short-term solution is to add an #ifdef H10/H10_5GB to the if() that switches between power and usb modes, and remove that one from try_reboot() (since that one then becomes redundant, and at that stage we have enabled usb_storage, so not rebooting might be dangerous)

21:09:19pixelmayou can't actually use (load) a different font in another viewport yet, or am I missing something?
21:09:34Lloreanlinuxstb_: Probably true. I just meant, there's time to think about whether the "just a list" method will hinder future things before making a decision.
21:10:26linuxstb_pixelma: No, but you can choose the system font if you want... My intention with including that ability now is so that Rockbox won't completely reject unofficial themes making use of the multifont patch - it will just default to the user font.
21:11:36linuxstb_And IMO, the system font can be useful for things like numeric data (track times, playlist position etc)

21:49:15soapIt is my understanding that it would be impossible to customize the behavior of simply the Gigabeat (F/X) remote's buttons, as they are "mated" to the front panel buttons on a hardware level, and thus not independent switches. Is this correct?

21:50:26BigBambisoap: I think they are now independent
21:51:06BigBambiThat did used to be the case - a remote button was 'mapped' to a main unit one, so if you changed the functionality of a main unit one, the remote changed to, but no longer

22:37:05*amiconn hopes those ideas might fix the dreaded statusbar delays
22:37:14BigBambi-x is to exclude certain files
22:37:40amiconnThose are quite annoying, as are all the graphical glitches introduced by viewported lists
22:37:49BigBambiechelon_: Try unzip -o /tmp/rockbox.zip -d /media/memory0
22:38:03linuxstb_amiconn: My idea is basically to use the WPS code to display it.

22:38:48echelon_no :\
22:39:17rastataperCna I just in for a min
22:39:38*amiconn has no idea how a themable statusbar can be made as useful as the hardcoded one
22:39:41linuxstb_amiconn: It's something I want to experiment with to see what's possible, I'm not suggesting (yet...) that it's a good idea.
22:39:52Lloreanamiconn: Do you know, does the official X5 bootloader dual boot? I thought there was a patch that didn't use any of the OF info to do it, finally.
22:40:14amiconnLlorean: The current iaudio bootloaders don't support dual boot
22:40:37Lloreanamiconn: I don't think you could improve usefulness with themeing it. I *do* think that a very large percentage of our users wouldn't mind a less useful, more visually appealing one. The same group that regularly just turns it off right now.

22:41:34BigBambirastataper: It is an involved process, nothing we can do about that. That is why the manual exists
22:41:44amiconnLlorean: My fear is that with a themable statusbar we'll actually *give uP* functionality. Functionality that I do like and use.
22:42:14BigBambiI like the info on the statusbar, but it looks ugly, and is too small for me
22:42:36Lloreanamiconn: If it's themable, how would that cost us functionality?
22:42:36BigBambii.e. I want to be able to have volume, battery etc. in the menus, but in a more attractive way
22:42:46amiconnLike, how could a themable battery icon be implemented that offers the same fine-grained resolution as the current one? Same goes for the volume indicator - one of the reasons why my wps'es *always* use the standard statusbar
22:43:00*Llorean imagines many users with poor sight wouldn't mind a two-line status bar containing much larger versions of the info
22:43:08Lloreanamiconn: Bitmap strips.
22:43:17echelon_it worked! thanks :)
22:43:29Lloreanamiconn: The battery and colume icons could work almost exactly like the progress bar in WPS works.
22:43:39LloreanReveal X% of the bitmap, where that's how much % of volume/battery
22:43:41echelon_the battery charging indicator works now?
22:43:54gevaertsechelon_: you should also have much better battery life now
22:43:55amiconnThe statusbar volume & battery icons have ~15 steps. I don't want to end up with a rockbox version that takes longer than the average OF to boot because it has to load hundreds of bitmaps
22:44:04Lloreanamiconn: One bitmap.
22:44:09echelon_nice :)
22:44:26Lloreanamiconn: Look at how the custom progress bars work in the wps. You load a single bitmap, and it only displays a portion of it, based on how much of the song has progressed.
22:44:42LloreanWhen at 100%, then 100% of the image is displayed.
22:44:51amiconnLlorean: Hmm, and what about the battery "frame"? The charging animation, including current level display? (the black vs grey filling system)
22:44:53LloreanOtherwise the image is just clipped to a length equivalent to progress.
22:45:07echelon_so i can't mount while in rockbox?
22:45:14Lloreanamiconn: With the battery you then have to display a few more images, sure.
22:45:23echelon_i could've sworn i could do this while in windows
22:45:28linuxstb_amiconn: The other thing I want to do with WPSs is bitmap strips for icons
22:45:46LloreanBut again, people who want it themed suffer a slightly longer load. I certainly think unthemed status bar should remain in code for you and me though. :-P
22:45:56BigBambiechelon_: No, not yet (with portalplayer targets)
22:46:09BigBambiIt should auto reboot to the OF for USB for the moment
22:46:24gevaertsechelon_: It should reboot to the sandisk firmware. We're working on getting native rockbox usb support, but it's still a work in progress
22:46:37BigBambiBut gevaerts is slaving away on native Rockbox USB support, so if we all buy him beer, who knows :P
22:46:37echelon_ok, it's fine i guess
22:47:42gevaertsBigBambi: I can't code when drunk
22:47:51amiconnLlorean: On H300 I would actually like a slightly larger version of the statusbar, but at the same time I really don't want to sacrifice boot time and UI responsiveness
22:48:17*linuxstb_ notices the standard statusbar battery icon is drawn with drawrect, drawline etc, so could at least be scaled and the colours changed
22:48:57amiconnYes it is drawn this way, and volume is drawn using vline
22:49:10*Llorean would really like to see any WPS tag that can return a percentage also capable of drawing a horizontal or vertical percentage of a bitmap.
22:50:09linuxstb_Maybe we could just add tags for the WPS that draw (at a specified height/width etc) the standard battery/volume indicators.

23:45:12kugellinuxstb, JdGordon|afk : as a multifont solution, what do you think of my idea of having the wps fonts defined in the .wps file instead of in the global config (the way the multifont patch does it now)?
23:45:53LloreanWhy reduce flexibility that way?
23:46:23kugelI don't see how it reduces flexibilty
23:46:38LloreanYou have to define fonts twice if you want to use them both in the WPS and out of it.

23:47:36LloreanOnly one font is used in the WPS right now too
23:47:49LloreanMenu headers could use a different font from menu entries. The status bar could use a third for numbers.
23:48:01 Join linuxstb__ [0] (n=linuxstb@i-83-67-212-170.freedom2surf.net)
23:48:11LloreanThe main menu could use a different font than the filetree to highlight the change in contexts.
23:48:15LloreanThere's a lot you could do with multifont.
23:48:59kugeldefining fonts twice isn't what I call reduced flexibility
23:49:04LloreanStoring the fonts globally means you can easily define things such as "Headers in the WPS should use the menu header" and "Numbers in the WPS use the same number font as the status bar" meaning themes can allow people to pick and choose fonts while maintaining a consistent look.
23:49:14Lloreankugel: It _requires_ they be defined twice, even when there's no reason to.
23:49:42kugelmenu headers is indeed a good point
23:49:57 Join HiddenShadow [0] (n=ce7412a7@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-9d5a050b1c831202)
23:50:04LloreanAt the same time, it requires a system be in place to identify when a font is used in and out of the WPS so that the font isn't loaded more than once.
23:50:13LloreanIt makes more sense to define all the fonts in one place, and one list.
23:50:29kugelhowever, having different fonts in the menues and the filetree doesn't make sense to me (i.e. I have no idea why one would want that), that's why the multifont patch dropped that
23:50:54LloreanPeople mistakenly think that "Files" is a menu. This would offer visual differentiation.
23:51:09kugelI know about that difference
23:51:12LloreanReduce user confusion by showing a clear change of context.
23:51:20linuxstbI would like that - my filenames are generally quite long, and menu options quite short.
23:51:27kugelbut I still wouldn't want different fonts in those both contexts
23:51:40Lloreankugel: But YOU don't have to use it.
23:51:54linuxstbSo when I have a small enough font to see the filetree clearly, the menus just take a small corner of the screen... (on my GB)
23:51:55LloreanThat doesn't mean you should make it harder for other people to, while at the same time complicating the font process.
23:52:04kugelanyway, you have some good points against my idea
23:52:12 Quit HiddenShadow (Client Quit)
23:53:03LloreanIt could even be as simple as using a Bold version for the menus, and a non-Bold for the filetree.
23:53:56kugelI just think it's more logical to have it in the wps
23:54:02LloreanWhy?
23:54:11LloreanThere's always going to be at least one menu font.
23:54:15LloreanWhy put the fonts in different places?
23:54:28kugelfonts in the wps should go in the wps file, just like bitmaps and tags and stuff
23:54:33linuxstbkugel: Rockbox theming is about far more than the wps now (or at least, should be)
23:55:00kugellinuxstb: I'm aware of that
23:55:06linuxstbIf anything, bitmaps could be moved out of the WPS, and used elsewhere...
23:56:21kugelFor the case that the font is used allready in the menu, the loading could be aborted using an if or something. I just think it's easier for the user that he defines the font he wants to use in his wps in the wps file
23:56:30kugelanyway, I got to go now. See you
