00:52:40DerPapstyes
00:52:47alienbiker99how do i get that

01:03:33soapthat's question #1. Question
01:03:33DerPapstalienbiker99: iirc rockboxdev.sh runs "make install" in where it build the arm toolchainand i don't know if that overwrites the old one or not.
01:03:38gevaertsThe only difference is that when you are using mass storage, the cpu is boosted

01:04:08OtherLlorsoap: My Nano seems to have charged just fine with the two defines (having usb, and using high speed)
01:04:21gevaertsSo if you have an old bad battery, it could charge slowly without mass storage, and discharge slowly with
01:04:47soapIs there a reason to believe we (as Rockboxers) are bypassing some magic charging circuit and possibly causing harm to the battery?
01:05:01gevaertsI don't know
01:05:26OtherLlorsoap: I would assume it's more like the e200, where we're going through the circuit, but we're not telling it to make full use of the current we're making available to it.
01:05:56soapI was going to say, I don't do it often, but I've done it enough times I would have expected to see a dead battery if I was going to ever see one.

01:06:41gevaertsThis is actually why I dislike charging over usb ;) People start asking me questions about charging just because I know about usb
01:07:10soapSounds like it is time for me to start building with the stack on.
01:07:23pixelmathat reminds me that the Rockbox info screen tells a wrong voltage when in USB charging mode on the c200s (as far as I know the same on the e200s), guess it only gets a wrong number somewhere, still makes me distrust it

01:28:59saratogasoap: charging over USB doesn't actually involve the USB on most targets
01:29:21saratogatheres generally just a voltage regulator hooked up to the USB +/- lines
01:29:46saratogathat will happily draw as much power as you tell it to, regardless of the status of the USB stack
01:30:12saratogatechnically you're not supposed to draw more then 100ma without telling the USB host that you're taking that power
01:30:19saratoga(err current)
01:30:35saratogain practice, I don't think it actually matters
01:31:09*gevaerts is a spec pedant and does think it matters ;)
01:31:18saratogaat least on the e200, the OF will draw power before its even enabled the USB hardware, and that seems to work on pretty much any hardware, although technically its not allowed by the spec
01:31:53saratogaso for now i don't believe we enable charging on any of the software USB devices because we do not have the USB in place

01:38:54amiconnI don't think that we don't enable (full power) charging because we don't have usb in place, but rather we don't know what to enable yet

01:40:19amiconnAfaik the only targets which charge properly (but not always with proper indication) are those with pure hw controlled charging, plus the the archos recorder
01:41:09amiconnX5 and M5 and all PP502x targets I know of only charge slowly in rockbox. M3 doesn't charge at all in rockbox atm
01:42:39soapThis is a bit off the Rockbox trail, but is there any reason to believe lithium batteries suffer from a slow charge? (I'm not aware of any)
01:43:08soapI guess the real question is - Are LiIon batteries charged fast because "they can" or because "they should"?
01:45:01Lloreansoap: I think it depends on the conditions. Could a slow charge, in theory, leave the battery hot for a longer time?
01:45:41amiconnI would think that slower charging actually extends battery life

02:35:36amiconnThe way how virtualization works, one virtual core can never use more than one physical core for real mode code (== application code). And vmware only supports virtual smp with up to 2 cores (and you need to configure that explicitily, and the guest os needs to support smp)

03:23:38LloreanXavierGr: Gigabeat F at the moment. It really depends on what I'm spending more time doing in my spare time though. Walking/jogging/exercising means I use my Nano a lot more. I was using my c200 but its headphone jack came loose again and I've yet to fix it.

03:36:30saratogaamiconn: we can enable charging on the sansas
03:36:52saratogawe have the datasheet, and we have a register dump from the OF, so we know exactly how it works
03:37:07*Llorean thinks this should be done, then. :-P
03:37:41saratogasoap: regarding lipoly life, they last much longer if you slow charge them, and also if you don't fully charge them
03:38:02saratogaits something like 100 cycles at current x, 500 cycles at current y, etc
03:38:41LloreanSo should we have an option in Rockbox as to whether it charges quickly or slowly on targets where this is possible?
03:38:58saratogaLlorean: we could, but i was just going to set it low by default

03:39:06saratogait actually doesn't make a huge difference in charge time
03:39:13Lloreansaratoga: Sometimes you need your player charged as much as possible 15 minutes from now, though.
03:39:31 Quit cendres (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
03:39:44LloreanThough I suppose it really does just kinda depend on how big a difference it makes.
03:39:54soapI swear they don't make them like they used to. I have a LiIon battery in my P-133 laptop which still holds a decent charge. 13 years old.
03:39:57saratogaif you don't need a full charge, it doesn't make a huge difference, lipoly batteries charge sort of logirthmically, so its always very fast for the first 60% (or so) and very slow for the remainder
03:40:12LloreanGotcha
03:40:21saratogasoap: thats probably not a lipoly battery, i don't think they made them back then
03:40:36saratogaprobably a metal hydride or whatever they were called
03:40:37soapion, not poly (FWIW)
03:40:40soapno, lithium
03:41:45saratogaanyway, the OF charges way faster then I would feel comfortable with otherwise, so i think rebooting into it is a good option if you must charge as much as possible in 30 minutes or whatever
03:43:02soap(just ran down and checked)
03:45:01Lloreansaratoga: Maybe to drive up those replaceable battery sales. ;)
03:45:03XavierGrkkurbjun: cheers, I am looking forward to see that in the future! :)
03:45:13LloreanBut, as long as we charge slower than the OF, people are going to file bug reports on it from time to time.
03:45:23LloreanSo an option to charge as fast as the OF (disabled by default) might be a good idea.
03:49:14*JdGordon|uni agrees
03:50:17LloreanMaybe name the two options "Optimal" and "Abusive" (or in seriousness, "Quick Charge") so people recognize that the slower one is meant to be "better" in some way
03:50:59JdGordon|unistandard and abusive...

03:54:56soapshouldn't the way most (all?) original firmwares do it (fast) be called "standard" and the proposed slow way be called "gentle"?
03:56:07soapin that the "point of reference" for most people is going to be the original firmware - ie the word "standard" will be judged against such a point of reference.
03:56:18*Llorean intentionally avoided "standard" for that reason.
03:56:47LloreanI'm also not sure "Quick Charge" should mirror the OF in every case, sometimes for all we know they could be closer to our choice for Gentle.
03:57:18LloreanI'd rather we just pick a Fast and Slow value of our own, but never make the Faster one slower than the OF (or the slow one faster than the OF if there's an incredibly slow OF out there)

04:08:17OtherLlorI think the final test is amiconn's hub
04:08:26OtherLlorI haven't heard whether the latest discoveries work there or not
04:09:34Gartrali havent had any luck... but anyway... why are downloads for m1.0.5 of RBUtil down?

04:11:02LloreanI just downloaded the windows one.
04:11:22*Llorean downloads the linux one too.
04:11:28Gartrali click the windows link and it gives me a 404
04:11:44LloreanIt may mean that you're getting redirected to a download server it hasn't propagated to.

04:13:04Gartralbut it says 404 for me

06:11:33soapThe conflicting reports might be due to the fact that the Sansa original firmware will not read the 8GB SDHC card, but Rockbox will. You will therefore be advised to use a USB card reader (and writer) to write to the card efficiently.

09:08:04 Nick JdGordon|zzz is now known as JdGordon (i=jonno@rockbox/developer/JdGordon)
09:08:14LloreanJdGordon|zzz: Not yet. I've got a D2 and Rockbox on it now, but haven't started playing any yet.
09:09:04LloreanI did think of something I wanted to mention to you, but oddly enough, I've completely forgotten now that you're here
09:09:06LloreanOh, right
09:09:08LloreanViewports!
09:09:17JdGordon:)
09:09:29LloreanFor defining buttons in the WPS screen, might it make sense to just give a viewport an action?
09:09:53LloreanSince they can't overlap, any touch on that viewport would do that action. So if you want an image to be the RW button, you put it in its own viewport and make it that action
09:10:56JdGordonfor the wps i was planning on adding a region tag which would let you specify a rectangle and an action for it.. a bit more flexible than viewports because we can store much more of then without wasting RAM, and it means we dont get wps' needing 30 viewports to just draw the play/next/prev icons
09:12:41LloreanPlay, Next, and Prev would only be three viewports. :-P

09:18:32JdGordonBB will probably be adapted for touchpad, but not in the wps... its too limiting imo

09:18:54pondlifeamiconn: ?
09:21:15amiconnWell, it's a 4-port hub. The amount of errors seems to depend on which port I use
09:21:16LloreanJdGordon: Regions might work. I just thought viewports might make the .wps file less complicated, if it's just one extra parameter on the end of the viewport declaration to define its action
09:22:05amiconnUnfortunately the ports aren't numbered, but from the printed text I presume leftmost port is 1
09:22:13***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
09:22:51amiconnPort 1 works best (there are still many disk events in the event log, but the drive letter appears and browsing works with just occasional hangs)

11:01:05pixelmathere are quite a few, keep trying. Usually if there is a number at the end of the font name it means the height (in pixels) - e.g. nimbus-19 is quite big
11:01:44McDeezyi like the nimbus 19
11:03:14pixelmawhich font you chose has an influence on the appearance of your WPS (while playing screen) and could "break" it. What player do you have?
11:04:07McDeezyipod
11:04:16McDeezyyea it doesnt scale the text for the now playing screen
11:04:19McDeezyi was just gonna say that
11:04:58pixelmaIpod Video (5th generation) I guess?
11:05:05McDeezyyes
11:06:25pixelmayou could try to change your theme, some of them which come with Rockbox use Nimbus-19, e.g iCatcher and Rockboxed if I remember correctly

11:10:46LloreanDual core 80mhz, but for most purpose we only really use one.
11:12:39McDeezylmfao dual core 80
11:12:46McDeezywhy dual core
11:12:52LloreanWhy would we knwo?
11:13:04McDeezyjust seems like a waste
11:13:44B4gderyeah single-core ought to be enough for everyone!
11:14:03McDeezysingle core 80mhz seems fine for an ipod
11:14:13B4gderbased on what facts?
11:14:13McDeezydualcore 80mhz for a music player
11:14:19McDeezyjust seems overdoing it
11:14:35B4gderagain, what are you basing this on?
11:15:12B4gderisn't it perhasp a good way to be energy efficient and yet have lots of power when needed?
11:16:00McDeezyyou could be energy effiecnt making a single core at 100mhz
11:16:26B4gdersure
11:16:41B4gderI'm just not seeing why dual-core would be so strange
11:16:42LloreanMcDeezy: Many modern MP3 players seem to take the dual core approach
11:16:55LloreanThough the more modern method is using a DSP as the coprocessor in a more specialized role
11:16:58B4gderlots of SoCs in general have dual (or more) cores these days
11:17:26LloreanEven with an awful lot of optimization, we find 80mhz somewhat constrictive, but nobody has put the time into splitting tasks between the cores yet. It would at least insure that load from the UI doesn't interfere with playback, and vice versa.
11:17:36LloreanIn theory, and if well split, at least.
11:17:58McDeezyHow does PHASE and Sonic run so well
11:18:02McDeezyon 80mhz
11:18:17*Llorean doesn't even know what those are.

11:18:47McDeezyyea
11:18:51McDeezyOF
11:18:52B4gderbut are they for the oldish ipods?
11:18:58McDeezynope
11:18:59LloreanVideo+
11:19:02McDeezyjust video
11:19:26LloreanB4gder: Nano 3, Video, and Classic for Phase at least
11:19:34LloreanWhich means they probably make use of the Broadcom for graphics acceleration
11:19:47LloreanMcDeezy: The iPod classic and newest Nano have a much faster chip in them.
11:19:48B4gderyes, and nano3 and classic have more power
11:20:00McDeezythen the video?
11:20:03LloreanThe iPod Video has a *third* processor, the Broadcom chip which is more or less an unknown.
11:21:48McDeezydo homebrew devs have access to it?
11:22:17***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:22:32B4gderwe have no "access" to any parts really
11:22:50B4gderbut people have figured out the main CPU parts
11:22:56LloreanOr possibly we have 'access' to everything, since we're the firmware, we've just taken it for ourselves, and don't know how to talk with it.
11:23:08*Llorean thinks it might depend on the definition of "access" in this case.
11:23:14B4gderyeps
11:23:22McDeezywouldnt it be an API call
11:23:32LloreanWhat API?
11:24:03McDeezyIs there a specific code for iPODs?
11:24:08McDeezywhat is the dev code?
11:24:10B4gderin Apple's OS there's probably an API yes
11:24:13LloreanRockbox is a replacement firmware.
11:24:20LloreanThe only APIs are those we implement for ourselves.
11:24:21B4gderMcDeezy: we write Rockbox
11:24:42McDeezyOh shit yous are the devs?
11:24:46LloreanIt's not something that runs on top of Apple's software. We aren't just "homebrew" running like the Apple games.
11:25:17B4gderRockbox is from scratch, on the metal, without anything Apple'ish
11:25:57McDeezyI see so your still learning how to utilize things?
11:26:04B4gderyes
11:26:11B4gderand we'll never stop since we have no docs
11:26:28McDeezyThey dont release docs on the hardware?
11:26:31B4gderno
11:26:52McDeezyIs it possible to reverse the apple firmware
11:26:55McDeezyand learn from that
11:26:58B4gderyes

11:30:01McDeezywhy
11:31:10LloreanBecause 1) It's probably much higher level, as you mentioned API calls, and things we cannot use. 2) If we had it, it would almost certainly have legal restrictions on it preventing us from using it even if it were helpful.
11:31:50McDeezywell you could create your own API calls couldnt you just learning from it
11:31:52McDeezy?
11:31:58B4gderwe have our own api
11:32:46LloreanIf you see a gear shift, you can figure out how to shift it, but it probably doesn't give you many clues to how a transmission works.
11:33:10LloreanThey'd be plenty useful if we were interested in writing apps to run in the Apple software, but that's not what this project is.

11:45:20GodEaterah ha
11:45:22preglowwell, then it can run the gameboy code natively with some hacks
11:45:27preglowand it pretty much has to
11:45:44LloreanIt's basically just a faster gameboy, and since you've got no sound, very little in the way of emulation
11:46:00LloreanWell, 'very little' relative to what we have to do.

11:55:40McDeezyis it ok to use it as a disk
11:57:01LloreanPeople who depend on iPods as a backup solution are often disappointed. They support plenty of writes, but generally suffer a lot more abuse (from being used actively) than say a normal USB storage solution, which is generally only ever moved while not in use.

13:31:29LinusNi must say that the #ifdef order in the VOLUME_MAX commit is a little backwards
13:32:25B4gderah yes, its backwards
13:32:29LloreanIt's not, actually
13:32:42LloreanThere's a ! in the new file where there wasn't in the old
13:33:12B4gdertrue
13:33:23LloreanSo functionally it's the same, but reading it is awful weird.
13:33:23LinusNit's backwards because it tests for "not equal" and the "else" instead of the opposite
13:33:44B4gdervery confusing to read, yes
13:34:05LinusNbut i didn't say that it was wrong
13:34:57LinusNi understand why he did it that way, because otherwise the #else would end up much farther away from the #if
13:35:29LloreanWould it be okay to just change the #else to another #if, take out the /* and */, and put a #endif before it?
13:36:40LloreanI mean, not from a functional standpoint, but "are there style guidelines regarding that sort of thing"?

16:08:50markunaustriancoder_: looks like clipping prevention for the bass and trebble settings or something
16:08:58preglowaustriancoder_: the prescaler compensates for bass boosts, to prevent clipping
16:09:40preglowbass boosts/any kind of boost
16:10:18 Quit perrikwp ("http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client")
16:11:12austriancoder_so set_prescaled_volume is only needed when bass, treble or volume gets changed?
16:11:51preglowyes, afaik, and it's only needed when volume gets changed if treble/bass controls are active
16:13:11preglowit's basically just a measure to make sure that audio does not clip during tone controls processing, like if i want to boost bass 12 dB, i can decrease the audio amplitude by -12 dB before processing, then increase master gain by 12 dB after processing
16:13:28preglowonly change to the user is that tone controls do no distort when they would have without prescaling
16:13:43preglowhowever, this only works if there is enough headroom in the master gain to compensate for the prescale
16:13:55preglowso it does not work if you're listening to audio at the highest volume settings

16:14:25austriancoder_okay.. i see
16:14:58preglowit's also the cause of a nasty glitch on those targets that need software tone controls, since the prescaler is software there and has latency compared to the master gain...
16:15:04*preglow wants low-latency dsp :/
16:16:59austriancoder_amiconn: do you know why MAS3587F needs no set_presacled_volume() and MAS3507D needs it?

20:18:33killzoneshould of thought to try that
20:19:25gevaertsAndyI: it should be possible, but supporting the CPU is only a small part of porting rockbox to a device
20:20:17domonokywhat core is in this samsung cpu ? arm ?
20:20:56gevaertsActually, it seems to be CalmRISC. That will be more work
20:21:22domonokyCalmRisk16, that would be some work.. a 16bit architecture..

20:21:52amiconnarm is becoming kinda boring...
20:21:54webgueston menus, when music is paused there is white noise...it is there suring playback also but not as noticeable
20:22:25domonokyamiconn: then buy a player with another arch, and start a new port.. new players are always welcome :-)

20:23:43webguestI'm using original sandisk buds.
20:23:43LambdaCalculus37amiconn: Don't forget that you recently ported to a Coldfire-based player, too. :)
20:23:49bertrikhas rockbox ever been ported to a 16-bit architecture?
20:24:02webguestsuring = during
20:24:12amiconnbertrik: There were the beginnings of a gmini 1xx / gmini sp port
20:24:24amiconnCalmrisc 16 ...
20:24:54LambdaCalculus37But that code's been wiped from the source tree, hasn't it?
20:25:22webguestso if it is flash access there is no fix?
20:25:27bertrikwebguest: I have a sansa e260 and I have no such problem, so I'm afraid I can't help you
20:25:40bertrikwebguest: is it a constant noise or do you hear some kind of pattern in it?
20:25:58bertrikwebguest: does your sansa have a radio?
20:26:03amiconnLambdaCalculus37: Only the target specific parts. The (partial) datatype adjustments were kept
20:26:24amiconnBut calmrisc16 is a nasty architecture
20:26:38amiconnNot only is it 16 bit, but also harvard architecture
20:27:34gevaertsNo overwriting code by accident ! That must be good !
20:28:06amiconnHah, but the gminis have no ram that can be used as instruction memory
20:28:22amiconnAll instruction memory is flash, ram is only usable for data
20:28:39amiconnThat puts *severe* constraints on codecs and plugins...

20:30:13webguestyes, I do have fm radio
20:30:44AndyI<amiconn> So it is possible or not?
20:31:34DerPapstalmost everything is possible, but someone has to do it
20:31:53DerPapstand if no one is willing nothing will hapen
20:31:54amiconnOther than that, I would have been happy to see rockbox running on the gminis. Gmini 1xx / SP were 2.5" HDD, 128x64 monochrome LCD targets. The plans also included porting to the Gmini 2xx, which would have been the first (and only) 4-bit greyscale target
20:31:59amiconn(16 shades)
20:32:02DerPapstso feel free to start the port :-)
20:32:04gevaertsAndyI: I would say possible, but very hard
20:32:37LambdaCalculus37So you have to be willing to really study hard and learn everything you can.
20:34:47amiconngevaerts: Another problem back then was (and probably still is) the compiler. There is an experimental gcc port, but I had/ve my doubts regarding its output
20:34:58amiconnAfaik, gcc is designed for 32 bit (and higher)
20:35:40gevaertsThere are a few 16 bit targets around, but they seem to be rare and not very well supported (at least not merged into the main tree)
20:35:41bertrikwebguest: Just guessing about the radio, but I can imagine that unmuted FM radio input could cause the noise. OTOH, I think that if this was the case, it would have been detected earlier by sansa devs
20:36:48bertrikwebguest: in one of the debug menus you can force the processor to run at a higher speed (80 MHz) instead of 30/24MHz. You could try that out to see if it makes a difference

23:29:46n1sit doesn't currently
23:30:32H10eris that because the source code is not open?

23:44:57H10eroh, i get what you mean
23:45:13H10erwhy not rip the CD every time?
23:45:16*stripwax tries rockbox built with thumb instructions
23:45:22preglowH10er: ripping cds is time-consuming
23:45:30stripwaxH10er - transcoding is fast
23:45:39preglowH10er: this way, i do it only once, and can change the format of my entire lossily compressed cd collection over night
23:46:01stripwaxonly probably is you need two copies of everything (lossless + lossy)
23:46:09H10erbut you'd still need to rip aaallll your CDs to a lossless format first!
23:46:13bluebrotherbut disc space is cheap.
23:46:17preglowH10er: so given a couple of days, i can encode all my cds as he-aac, v4 lame mp3 and vorbis, then see which i like best
23:46:36stripwax^probably^problem
23:46:42stripwaxbluebrother - yeah, there is that.
23:46:44H10eroh, ok. I don't have all that disc space alltogether...
23:46:51n1sI use flac for listening at home and vorbis for portable but this is getting off topic :P
23:46:57preglowi got a 250 gig portable disk for this alone, it wasn't very expensive
23:46:58bluebrotherH10er: you need to rip anyway. It doesn't make a difference to the ripping process what output format you're using
23:47:02linuxstbkeanu: There's a limit of 32 characters for the icons filename - which excludes the ".rockbox/icons/" part
23:47:17preglowand 260++ cds only takes about 85 gigs
23:48:19keanulinuxstb, ah, ok. thanks
23:48:20*stripwax counts CDs .. nowhere near enough gigs..
23:48:43H10erwell, I have these huge complete works thingies for which you can't get the same format tags from CDDB (or FREEDB) and it's just a pain in the... neck

23:53:19preglowH10er: our eq is pretty decent, though
23:53:23preglowor so people tell me...
23:53:35H10eri know. it's the player that's a potato
23:54:08ZincAlloyI haven't ever heard any consumer "sound enhancement tool" that really improved sound..
23:54:08bluebrotheror maybe the 48kbps wma is crap ;-)
23:54:35H10eri don't use WMA nor 48kbps
23:55:06ZincAlloyan eq is only as good as the person who's turning the knobs..
23:55:09H10eryou can't improve sound
23:55:24gevaertsyes you can. If it's bad, you can mute it ;)
23:55:35 Quit Arathis ("Bye, bye")
23:55:37H10ersure, but there seems to be a buffering problem
23:55:46stripwaxwith rockbox or the OF?
23:56:16H10erthe playback has gaps when eq switched on and presets take forever to load
23:56:36H10errockbox
23:56:45bluebrotherthat's a performance issue, not a buffering problem
23:56:55bluebrotherthe cpu simply isn't powerful enough.
23:57:03H10eri don't know, i;m not the expert!
23:57:08ZincAlloya good mastering engineer can.. but that doesn't matter much when you mess up his product with SRSwow :)
23:57:10H10erpitty again!
23:57:16bluebrothercheck the FAQ ...
23:57:20stripwaxcan I use objdump to confirm that an object file has been built with thumb instructions?
23:57:35bluebrothertry a file format that requires less CPU to decode. Or use less bands in the eq
23:57:51H10erok
23:57:57stripwaxH10er - I'm pretty sure vorbis uses a lot less CPU on H10
23:58:11H10erZincAlloy - not everyone is an audiophile!
23:58:15bluebrotherand you can improve sound. For example, you can decrackle old vinly records.
23:58:28bluebrotheryou just can't make music out of crap, that's the problem
23:58:37ZincAlloydecrackling is not necessarily an improvement
