02:34:40wpyhBuschel: And, what do you mean by "RB can switch off the power supply"? Do you mean the HDD or the sleep mode in the OF? If the latter, then no, I didn't sleep while testing, it was a straight run.

08:05:19Buschelwpyh: (for the logs) i meant of "accessory power supply" not "power supply" −− my fault
08:09:27Buschelwpyh: if i assume (from older battery benchs) that a 60GB/80GB 5G playing mp3 may run up to about 17h (with WPS and accessory power supply off) that equals about 580mAh/17h = ~34mA
08:09:54 Join hannesd [0] (n=light@p5B161DF9.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
08:10:36Buschelwpyh: your results show about 580mAh/21.5h = ~27mA -> the HDD consumes 7mA more current than the CF-modded target
08:10:59Buschelwphy: though there will be of course differences in volume etc...
08:13:05Buschelwpyh: as the HDD power is switched off if not accessed, only the "up-time" of the disk while buffering is consuming these 7mA. if the buffering time can be halfed (as reported from OF), it will half the current consumption as well. from what we know DMA is one of the main candidates which may give far better buffering times.
08:14:16Buschelwpyh: this is because the reading speed depends heavily on the CPU clock. if buffering is occuring while playback (normal situation) only a part of the CPU-clock is available for buffering as the codec still needs to run.
08:15:13 Quit csc` ("10-23: Never forget")
08:16:21Buschelwpyh: regarding codecs -> you should really try to battery bench your CF-modded 5G with flac. to reach the best case runtime you should apply FS #8668 which lowers the normal clock to 24MHz −− flac only needs <15MHz. it will not even boost @15MHz normal clock, except for buffering.
08:20:30Buschelwpyh: using flac @24MHz should save another 6MHz/3MHz/mA = ~2mA -> runtime up to ~23h. with even lower clock like 15MHz you could reach about 26h of battery runtime. i am very interested if these assumptions will come true :-)

08:28:49BuschelLlorean: in fact, because i never had this on my mind −− first time now, right as you ask ;-)
08:29:20amiconnBuschel: Btw, arm7 has different instruction timing than arm9 (even the v4t variants), so speedup on one don't necessarily mean speedup on the other
08:29:57Buschelamiconn: then we should check :-) anyone has got a gigabeat to test? :)
08:30:04amiconnNot me
08:30:29LloreanRemind me tomorrow and I'll happily test.
08:30:31amiconnIn general, newer arm versions have faster timing, but sometimes only achieve that wen obeying some extra rules
08:30:32 Join Rob2222 [0] (n=Miranda@p4FDCED7B.dip.t-dialin.net)
08:30:54amiconnE.g. ldr is 3-cycle on arm7, but *can* be single cycle on arm9
08:31:39Buschelwell, the main difference between full precision and speed optimized is the use of 32bit-muls instead of 64bit-muls
08:31:50amiconnIt's only single cycle if you don't use the loaded value in the next instruction (it loads in the background)
08:32:07amiconnThere are likely many more such cases
08:32:23Buschelhmm, that's used a lot in both versions...
08:32:42Buschelbut let's see :)
08:34:01amiconnThen reordering will bring some extra speed on gigabeat (both F and X which are arm9 v4, and the S which is arm11 (?) v6)
08:34:49amiconnIf you can do the reordering without slowdown on arm7, that would be good. Otherwise a split would be necessary for optimum performance
08:35:00BuschelLlorean: you can easily check the difference via 1. measuring svn 2. change apps/codecs/libmusepack/mpc_config.h (simply comment "#define OPTIMIZE_FOR_SPEED" in the "#elif defined(CPU_ARM)"-path) and remeasurement
08:35:25LloreanBuschel: Using the test codec plugin, I assume?
08:35:36amiconnBtw, that's the reason why the arm assembly for the ape filters (libdemac) is for arm7 *only*
08:35:37BuschelLlorean: yep.
08:36:04amiconnOn arm9 the C code is actually faster

08:38:43LloreanBuschel: Personally I'd like to have the Speed vs Quality option available in all codecs. If I'm using it as part of my home sound system, for example (my h120) I'd rather a build with maximum precision since it's on wall power anyway.
08:39:45amiconnI wouldn't want a (runtime) option for that
08:39:51LloreanNot runtime
08:39:59LloreanI'd be completely happy if it was compile time.
08:40:08amiconnWith lossy format you're accepting qulaity loss anyway
08:40:13amiconn*formats
08:40:33amiconn*quality, bah
08:40:50LloreanVery true, but some media isn't available lossless anyway. Independent artists seem to like distributing lossy compressed, but there's no sense intentionally introducing further quality loss if you can spare the CPU time anyway

08:43:11amiconnImho we should always aim at the best possible quality in our codecs, and only drop precision when it's really necessary (codec not realtime on a certain target)
08:44:10LloreanThese are portable devices. It's quite easy to argue, at the same time, "as long as the precision loss is below a certain threshold we decide in advance, we should always optimize toward a goal of not needing to boost for decoding"
08:44:47amiconnDropping 1 or 2 bits from 32 bit intermediates should be okay though if there is a significant speed gain, and the effect on the final (16 bit!) output is neglectible

14:52:00Genre9mp3hmm...the Pitch feature seems to me that doesn't work as it's expected to work
14:52:55GodEateras *you* expect it to work you mean ? ;)
14:52:56Genre9mp3I was just experimenting a bit (current build - Gigabeat F) and it's clear that the setting affects tempo as well while it shouldn't
14:53:19Genre9mp3or am I wrong to think that?
14:53:27GodEaterwhere do you get the impression it's not supposed to affect tempo ?
14:54:22Genre9mp3well, I always thought it was just affecting the pitch, thus the name (?)
14:55:51Genre9mp3Though it's been very looong time since I last used the feature, so I'm not sure what was the case then
14:56:04GodEaterIIUC pitch change is acheived by fiddling with the wavelength, which will inevitably change tempo as well
14:56:35GodEaterI could however be thoroughly wrong, I'm not really an audio expert
14:56:48 Quit perrikwp ("http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client")
14:56:57GodEaterhowever, I do know that when people come asking if they can speed up playback
14:57:07GodEaterthey're generally referred to "pitch" as a way to do it
14:57:18GodEaterso it would seem that it's always been a tempo affecting setting in Rockbox

14:58:12Genre9mp3maybe I'm wrong then, but then the name of the feature is clearly misleading
14:58:14leachim6could I easily write a plugin for rockbox ? is there an API , Libs ?
14:59:05GodEaterleachim6: yes, yes
14:59:14leachim6and I assume it's in C ?
14:59:19GodEaterleachim6: yes again
14:59:27leachim6Link ?
14:59:31GodEaterGenre9mp3: what should it be called then
14:59:36GodEaterleachim6: to what ?
14:59:46leachim6a guide/tutorial/docs/ whatever
14:59:52Genre9mp3Also, -/+2% doesn't seem to work as well (in the Pitch screen): you get +/-2% as long as you hold the button, if you release it you get the value before
15:00
15:00:03GodEaterleachim6: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/HowtoWritePlugins
15:00:05leachim6I'm sure there is an example plugin lying around somewhere ?
15:00:09leachim6:)
15:00:20Genre9mp3GodEater: Maybe "Playback Speed" or "Pitch/Tempo"?
15:00:31GodEaterPlayback speed would also be wrong
15:00:33leachim6also...I'm sure this is ongoing ... but could you explain the difference between rockbox and iPod Linux beside the fact that it's not linux
15:00:35gevaertsGodEater: there are algorithms to change pitch without affecting tempo (or vice versa), but they all have two things in common : they cause distortions in various degrees, and I don't know much about them
15:00:48GodEatergevaerts: indeed, we have a timescaling patch in the tracker too
15:00:55GodEaterbut we don't have the reverse
15:01:18GodEater(timescaling being a way to increase playback speed without changing pitch)
15:01:27gevaertsThe reverse is basically combining that with the current pitch setting I guess
15:01:41GodEaterwhich I don't believe anyone has done
15:01:55GodEaterleachim6: you'd be best off browsing the rest of the rockbox.org site
15:02:04GodEaterwe're essentially not much like ipodlinux at all
15:02:46leachim6that's what I thought ... I tried to install iPod linux on my 5.x generation iPod and had to reflash it ... I installed rockbox in minutes with no trouble at all
15:02:56leachim6but I think iPod Linux has more packages
15:03:06leachim6can I get arm-elf-gcc for ubuntu ?
15:03:25gevaertsleachim6: ipodlinux is a general purpose operating system that happens to run on audio players and happens to have audio software, rockbox is audio player firmware that happens to have some non-audio related plugins
15:03:26GodEaterleachim6: download our source tree - we include a script in it for building the right versions of compilers for our targets
15:03:50*GodEater doubts very much there was any reflashing involved
15:04:15leachim6wow ... you guys thought of everything
15:04:17gevaertsThere might have been if it needed an OF restore
15:04:42leachim6Godo point ... I guess it's not flashing if it's not flash :)
15:05:19leachim6*good
15:06:08*GodEater also very much doubts if we have thought of everything ;)
15:06:16leachim6right ...so rockbox was meant to improve on the iPods original function ... which is ... playing music ...but iPod linux wants to go above and beyond
15:06:27*GodEater would love to be omniscient, but doesn't kid himself that he is
15:06:29pixelmano
15:06:39leachim6you have to run MPD on your iPod in iPodLinux to play music
15:06:43leachim6that seems a little bit overkill to me
15:06:46GodEateripodlinux wants to turn your ipod into a sort of PDA
15:07:04gevaertsleachim6: actually the ipod is a relatively recent port
15:07:05GodEaterRockbox wants to let you play audio, in the formats you want, in the way you want
15:07:19GodEaterand Rockbox has many more targets than just ipod
15:07:36pixelmaRockbox was not meant to improve the Ipod in the beginning
15:08:28leachim6once again ... I'm sure an ongoing question ... will there ever be better video support
15:08:33GodEaterand the ipod port is probably still not our best
15:08:37leachim6iPod linux can play DivX and XviD
15:08:38GodEaterleachim6: there already is
15:08:43leachim6for the ipod ?
15:08:45GodEateryes
15:08:50leachim6how do I get ti!
15:08:54GodEaterwe don't support those particular codecs though
15:09:01GodEaterleachim6: if you've installed Rockbox, you already have it
15:09:18leachim6mp1 and mp2 right ...
15:09:18leachim6nobody uses those :(
15:09:18leachim6'cept dvds ... but the files are huge
15:09:37leachim6will there ever be mp4 support ?
15:09:44GodEaterif someone decides to write it then yes
15:10:13leachim6so not officially then ...
15:10:15leachim6bummer ..
15:10:21GodEaterdefine "officially"
15:10:25gevaertsMaybe. Probably mp4 on the ipod will require someone to figure out the video chip in it, as the CPU is probably not fast enough to handle it
15:10:40leachim6the iPod Linux people did it ?
15:10:48leachim6that wasn't a question...
15:10:55leachim6I dunno what the ? was for :)
15:11:15*gevaerts does can easily be wrong on this :)
15:11:17GodEaterI've never seen an ipod running iPL at all, let alone one playing back DivX / XviD, so I've no idea how well it performs

15:17:07leachim6mp1 and mp2 are unrelated

15:17:16leachim6avi is a wrapper for mp4 also
15:17:25gevaerts_anything_ can be a wrapper for mp4
15:17:33leachim6I'm talking general there
15:17:52leachim6a .foobar file could be a wrapper for mp4
15:18:38markunh.264 is also mpeg4
15:18:45markunso is aac
15:19:15markunso to say that some player plays 'mp4' doesn't tell you much (unless it can play everything in the mpeg4 standard)

15:20:53leachim6how can I tri-boot Apple/Rockbox/iPod Linux
15:20:57markundionoea: but when people advertise a mp4 player they mean you can also play what's inside the container of course :)
15:21:02GodEaterleachim6: yes, the iPod Video contains a dedicated processor for decoding video, which unfortunately Rockbox is unable to make use of
15:21:06leachim6I want rockbox for media ... but I want Linux for apps
15:21:20leachim6GodEater, is there work being done on that ?
15:21:20markunleachim6: you can use the ipodlinux bootloader for example
15:21:21dionoeamarkun: you can put anything you want in mp4 :)
15:21:30GodEaterleachim6: not really - there's no documentation for the chip in question
15:21:44GodEaterleachim6: or you can use the rockbox boot loader ;)
15:21:58GodEaterI believe most hard core tri-booters use the iPL one though
15:22:03pixelmathe Rockbox bootloader can also boot all three... meh beaten
15:22:12Genre9mp3GodEater: I tried a quite older and the behavior is the same, so it seems I was under the wrong impression all this time for the Pitch feature... not that I'm using it to tell you the truth but I just wondered
15:22:17GodEaterwe just make the caveat that we won't support your rockbox install if it doesn't use our bootloader
15:22:31Genre9mp3GodEater: quite older build I meant
15:22:34GodEaterGenre9mp3: I'm glad my memory hasn't failed me then ;)
15:23:13Genre9mp3GodEater: maybe my memory failed me then? :/
15:23:48GodEatereither way, what you're thinking it's for is clearly a feature we still lack
15:23:55GodEaterso perhaps you could work on it for us ;)
15:24:58pixelmaI believe there is a patch in the tracker for it, not sure
15:26:03GodEaterpixelma: I only found a time-scaling patch, which does the opposite
15:26:09GodEaterbut if you can find another - please let me know
15:27:24Genre9mp3GodEater: Well, let me say I clearly lack the skills for code such a thing ;)
15:27:30pixelmamaybe I'm confused the two things as I'm not very interested in this feature and just remembered reading something related ;)
15:28:31amiconnGodEater, Genre9mp3: If you have both simple pitch (changing speed) and time-stretch with constant pitch, you can easily combine them to make pitch with constant speed
15:28:57*amiconn has no real need for either of those 3
15:30:02gevaertsIn theory you can, but I would expect that to use more CPU than doing it in one step, and the UI needs to allow combining them
15:30:20*gevaerts hasn't looked. Maybe the patch allows it
15:30:34*GodEater hasn't looked either since he also has no requirement for the feature
15:32:34leachim6are all of the rockbox ports different depending on the device ?
15:33:15GodEaterleachim6: only subtlely
15:33:26GodEaterfor example, we can't support recording on a target which has no hardware for it
15:33:35GodEaterotherwise we try to keep them functionally the same
15:33:42GodEaterthe main difference is usually in the keymap
15:34:14pixelmaand screen
15:34:32GodEateralthough we try to keep that as consistent as possible
15:34:45GodEaterit's a challenge for some of our ports ;)

15:48:57MarcGuayLambdaCalculus37: I bought mine for $15 off craigslist. Found it hard to resist...
15:49:13LambdaCalculus37MarcGuay: GPIO doesn't reveal anything?
15:50:22MarcGuayLambdaCalculus37: GPIOA holds some unique button presses but volume-up, vol-down, and wheel-down all have the same effect, and left-up-right all do the same thing as well.
15:51:01LambdaCalculus37Sounds a little bit like the m200.
15:51:35LambdaCalculus37MarcGuay: Actually, I wanted to ask about the USB boot mode on the c100. When you enter it, does it show anything on screen?
15:51:59MarcGuayNope.
15:52:25LambdaCalculus37You don't have to remove the NAND on the c100 either, do you?

15:52:54LambdaCalculus37Because the m200 (mine, anyway) only enters USB boot mode if you open it up and remove the NAND daughterboard.
15:53:04MarcGuayLambdaCalculus37: Nope, I just hold select and connect the USB cable.
15:53:21LambdaCalculus37Battery inserted or removed?
15:53:30MarcGuayLambdaCalculus37: Either.
15:54:13LambdaCalculus37linuxstb: How about on the Logik DAX? How does USB boot mode work?
15:54:18MarcGuayIt's very easy to work with. I'm getting an RSI from building, connecting, and running tcctool in a loop.
15:54:59MarcGuayLambdaCalculus37: I think he said it's a pain like the m200 - removing the NAND.
15:55:56LambdaCalculus37MarcGuay: See, that's what I'm a little puzzled about. It's very simple to enter USB boot mode on the c100, but the m200 and the DAX require you to remove the NAND.
15:56:22LambdaCalculus37I still wonder why SanDisk didn't use a similar method of entering USB boot mode on the m200 like they did on the c100.
15:56:52*LambdaCalculus37 wonders if shotofadds' m230 will be easier to work with
16:00
16:04:21MarcGuayLambdaCalculus37: Does the Btn field on the m200 bootloader go nuts even when you aren't pressing a button?

16:23:59MarcGuayJust remembered that "Production Test Mode" is loaded when the Volume-Down and Circle-Down buttons are held, so there must be a button check in the boot sequence which would help distinguish Volume-Up from Vol-Down.
16:26:07*LambdaCalculus37 grabs his m240 to see if something similar happens there
16:26:54LambdaCalculus37Nothing.
16:28:09MarcGuayLambdaCalculus37: Maybe search the .rom file for "test". Did the c100 come out after the m200? It seems as though Sansa learned some lessons along the way.
16:28:39LambdaCalculus37MarcGuay: Y'know, I don't remember which came out first. :P
16:29:07LambdaCalculus37But I'll search the .rom file again.
16:29:33*LambdaCalculus37 looks to see if he still has the objdump text file he made of the m200's player.rom
16:32:26MarcGuayLooks like the c100 came out a few months before the m200. "Lesson-learned" theory = bunk.

16:44:48LambdaCalculus37There's one under Plugins > Applications.
16:44:58LloreanI can understand people wanting to minimize drift for things such as wake-up alarms, or timed recordings.
16:45:03PaulJamthere are even two stopwatches, the clock plugin has such a fuctionality too.
16:45:18LloreanBut the latter at least is best served by manually starting the recording if you need real precision.
16:45:19leachim6are there any plugins that aren't included in the default install
16:45:41Lloreanleachim6: People make them from time to time, but we try to include them if they're submitted and work well
16:45:59LloreanMarcGuay: But honestly, if the drift is constant enough to do that, why not just automatically adjust for the drift every boot?
16:46:12LloreanAnd if it's not constant enough, a manual plugin serves no purpose

17:17:28wpyhBuschel: thanks for the comments
17:18:24wpyhBuschel: by the Accessory Power Supply, do you mean that the OF always turns it on?
17:21:15wpyhBuschel: For the FLAC codec, thanks for the work on that one :) I will test it later, but for now I have a new idea
17:21:35wpyhBuschel: let's eliminate as much factors as possible, and loop one single song
17:26:35wpyhBuschel: that way, we can eliminate the disk access factor
17:26:38wpyhwhat do you think?
17:26:58wpyhAnd I generally would like to compare the same file format
17:27:22wpyhBuschel: this way, we can measure the OF's codec effectiveness, with which we can eliminate another factor in power consumption
17:28:50GodEaterLambdaCalculus37: linuxstb has a Logik DAX with a switch soldered to it's motherboard which allows him to toggle the boot mode
17:29:07wpyhBuschel: for example, if we found out (ruling out other factors) that the OF's codec is as optimal as RB's (roughly same runtime), and we also know OF's codec speed (which we do know), we can measure the other codecs' (vorbis, flac, mpc, etc) optimization too
17:29:49wpyhBuschel: it's indirect of course, but that's good and useful enough
17:31:01wpyhBuschel: therefore I think I should test on the Nano. I have a frankenstein-monster style Nano (scavenged parts), but I think it would be ok. Also, testing with Nano means the testing time is reduced by half ;)
17:32:08LambdaCalculus37GodEater: Interesting. :)
17:34:14GodEatera colleague of mine at work did the attaching for him
17:34:22GodEaterand I then had the opportunity to test it
17:34:32*GodEater can't solder for toffee
17:34:37LambdaCalculus37I wonder if something similar can be done on the m200.
17:34:43wpyhBuschel: I also saw FS #8668. I think you should split the patch into parts −− one for the CPU speed, another for the button, etc
17:34:56wpyhBuschel: and maybe the CPU patch can go in first (what do you think?)
17:35:00*LambdaCalculus37 can (unfortunately) be a little shaky with a soldering iron as well
17:35:09scorche|shLambdaCalculus37: i was curious of the same thing
17:35:19*scorche|sh isnt so shaky ;)
17:35:22GodEaterLambdaCalculus37: well the DAX had a very helpfully labelled couple of points on it's board which read NAND and USB
17:35:30GodEaterso guessing which ones to hook up wasn't tricky
17:35:37GodEaterI take it there's nothing to obvious on your DAP ?
17:35:42GodEaters/to/so
17:35:59LambdaCalculus37GodEater: Not that I can see, anyway. But maybe shotofadds will be able to find something.
17:36:10LambdaCalculus37scorche|sh: I'm sending you the m240 later today.
17:36:16scorche|shok
17:37:03LambdaCalculus37Want the USB cable for it as well?
17:37:07wpyhamiconn: I think you have a point there, saying that dropping 1 or 2 bits from 32-bit intermediate values, with 16-bit output is negligible
17:37:22wpyhamiconn: I think you may want to do some testing though
17:38:02wpyhamiconn: I think there will be little difference (maybe 1 bit) at the output, depending on how the intermediate is used in the calculation

18:03:32noapicanyways we have lot of goodies on PSP (irshell, snex9x, lightmp3) so not really missing any rockbox features.
18:04:28GodEaterLambdaCalculus37: according to shotofadds latest post there are some contacts which are marked as I described on the DAX
18:04:28LambdaCalculus37You do realize that Rockbox's primary function is audio playback, right?
18:04:56GodEater*marked on the m200 that is
18:05:02LambdaCalculus37GodEater: Okay, I'll go have a look.
18:05:23GodEaternoapic: AFAIK rockbox's WMA codec is based on ffmpeg's - so it should be portable

18:06:46*LambdaCalculus37 thinks that casahino finally gave up

18:26:05 Quit DaCapn ()
18:26:21gevaertsUnixnut: that partition table (mbr-video30gb-2048.bin) should have gone to /dev/sdg, not /dev/sdg1 (although it's probably not needed at all)
18:26:57gevaerts/dev/sdg1 is the apple firmware partition, which also contains the rockbox bootloader. Writing something else there makes it Not Work
18:26:58wpyhgevaerts: I was keeping it for later...
18:27:04wpyhgevaerts: but ok
18:27:25Unixnutok, no probs, downloading the new firmware now (I presume it is the 5.5 option)
18:27:46wpyhUnixnut: yeah, you have to download the 5.5G firmware, as it's not compatible with the 5G
18:27:46saratoganoapic: I wrote the wma codec
18:28:13saratogaits fairly portable, its being used in at least one other project

18:35:20wpyhgevaerts: the 30GB drive is 512-byte hardware sectors, so formatting it with 512-byte sectors won't create a problem with the OF
18:35:38UnixnutI did use mkfs.vfat, just that it was aliased to mkdosfs, so when I run mkfs.vfat, it told me it was mkdosfs. I wasn't sure which to post as me using here, so I went with mkdosfs.
18:35:40wpyhgevaerts: it will only create problems when mounted on Linux, since it obviously won't mount (I've tried that ;) )
18:35:59wpyhUnixnut: mkfs.vfat is just a symlink to mkdosfs, so it's not a problem :)

18:48:47Unixnut"No partition found"
18:49:46wpyhI'm beginning to think a format problem
18:49:55wpyhwhat was the exact command you used to format the partition?
18:50:22UnixnutI have tried the following commands: ' mkfs.vfat -S 2048 -F 32 /dev/sdg2 ' and ' mkfs.vfat -S 2048 /dev/sdg2 '
18:50:43wpyhwhich one is last?

18:51:08Unixnutwithout -F 32
18:51:09wpyhok, so that's wrong
18:51:20wpyhit creates a FAT16 filesystem
18:51:28wpyhwe need a FAT32 filesystem for the ipod video :)
18:51:33Unixnutyeah, I figured, but I tried the otherone as well
18:51:41UnixnutI will try again
18:51:52wpyhUnixnut: and you got the same error?
18:52:26Unixnutyeah, also in both situations, the apple firmware loaded fine, and even put its folders into the root area with no issues (I saw folders for 'Music' etc...)

20:03:21LambdaCalculus37By the way, when you run tools/configure, it'll ask you what device you're compiling for; picking iPod video will ask you how much RAM to compile for. 32MB is for 30GB iPods, 64MB is for 60/80GB iPods.
20:04:13Unixnutthanks
20:06:22Unixnutok, compiled, now I presume the file is "bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod"
20:06:31Unixnutdo I just dd it, or do I have to use ipodpatcher?
20:07:29gevaertsYou need to use ipodpatcher
20:07:49*gevaerts leaves the exact command to others who actually know it
20:08:04Unixnutdo I have to remove the currently installed bootloader, or will ipodpatcher do that automatically for me?
20:08:52Unixnutnever mind, I will try it either way

20:10:19Unixnutok, thanks
20:10:35bertrikI would just use a pre-compiled bootloader when starting with rockbox
20:10:56gevaertsbertrik: this is about debugging an issue ;)
20:11:21bertrikan issue in the bootloader?
20:11:28gevaertsMaybe

20:20:20Unixnutwhich is the "rc = disk_mount_all();" function, followed by ("if rc<=0") statement

20:25:50gevaertsI would say that it fails in disk_mount() in firmware/common/disk.c (lines around 215), or in fat_mount() (firmware/drivers/fat.c)
20:28:03Unixnutoh, how come? (not saying you are wrong, just want to understand whats going on)
20:28:59gevaertsdisk_mount_all() calls disk_mount(), and it doesn't do much else
20:29:13Unixnutoh, so whats the point of disk_mount_all()?
20:29:58gevaertsIt mounts filesystems on all disks. On ipods there is only one
20:30:15 Join BHSPitLappy [0] (n=BHSPitLa@unaffiliated/bhspitmonkey)
20:30:21domonokyUnixnut: disk_mount_all() also mounts also memory cards, if you player has such a thing.. :-)
20:30:23UnixnutI see, so it doesn't do much else for ipods, but for other players it probably does, got it
20:30:33Unixnutthanks alot guys.
20:31:10domonokyso next step would be to put some outputs into disk_mount, to see if it doesnt find a partition, or if the fat_mount fails..
20:31:28Unixnutyeah, currently grepping for the function
20:31:44domonokyits in firmware/common/disk.c
20:32:16gevaertson ipod fat_mount gets called once for each possible sector size (512,1024,2048). On a 5.5G it's expected to fail twice, and then succeed on the 2048 byte attempt

21:10:37_ntsnHi,
21:10:50_ntsni have a e260 sansa and i wish to install rockbox on it
21:11:13LambdaCalculus37Before we begin, what is the version number of the Sansa's firmware?
21:11:49_ntsncan you guide me how to check the version? (i bought this sansa 2 years ago)
21:12:01LambdaCalculus37Settings > System Info
21:12:56_ntsnim in the middle of copying my 4gbs of music, i will get back to you in 5 minutes when its done, thanks alot for the fast reply :)
21:13:15***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
21:13:41_ntsnduring the copying, how much space does rockbox cost?
21:14:02 Quit Nico_P (Remote closed the connection)
21:14:25LambdaCalculus37Rockbox should need around 10-15 MB.
21:14:36_ntsnat the minimum?
21:14:41pixelma10-15MB?
21:14:47_ntsnif im using the full-feature'd version?
21:16:29LambdaCalculus37The Rockbox build itself is 5.85MB.
21:16:33_ntsnlambda?
21:17:14Llorean_ntsn: What od you mean by "full-feature'd" version?
21:17:27pixelmaah, the fonts folder is quite large, about 10MB
21:17:48LambdaCalculus37And extra themes add to that as well.
21:17:49_ntsnas i saw, you can upgrade / add addons / however you call it
21:17:56_ntsnim right?
21:18:22LambdaCalculus37You can. But I was giving you a rough estimate of how much free space you'll need.
21:18:44_ntsnokay, thanks
21:19:05_ntsnwell i have just unpluged it, its refreshing DB
21:19:51_ntsnokay here we go, the version which acquired from settings >> system info is:
21:20:01_ntsn01.02.18A
21:20:27_ntsni guess its pretty old..
21:20:35LambdaCalculus37We're in business! :)
21:20:47LambdaCalculus37Have a look at the manual: http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansae200/rockbox-build.html
21:20:53_ntsnyes i did
21:21:04LambdaCalculus37Did you find the link to RButil in it?
21:21:08domonoky_ntsn: thats fine, just read the manual, and use rbutil to install rockbox..
21:21:10LambdaCalculus37You can use that to install Rockbox.
21:21:20_ntsni read the getting started & the installation notes
21:22:00_ntsni was wondering, since i saw there is another version (e2xxR) how i can determine that im not using the R version?
21:22:19_ntsnyou achived this information from the version?
21:22:40 Part toffe82
21:23:09LambdaCalculus37Is your Sansa a Rhapsody model? With an R in the model name?
21:23:25_ntsni dont know, thats my main problem
21:23:45LambdaCalculus37There's a surefire way to find out.
21:23:58_ntsnim listening :)
21:24:03LambdaCalculus37Settings > USB.
21:24:09LambdaCalculus37What do the options say?
21:24:52_ntsnfrom top to bottom: MSC, MTP
21:24:58_ntsncurrently its set to MSC
21:25:07LambdaCalculus37Not an R model! And good job! :)
21:25:17_ntsnokay
21:25:28LambdaCalculus37So download and fire up RButil, and Rockbox your Sansa! :)

22:01:18BigBambi_ntsn: If you want people to get hilighted whn you say their name (and therefore notice you said something), you need to use their full name
22:01:26bluebrotherpixelma: you could reword that line like the examples in the wps tags chapter. I.e. a new paragraph "example: <foo>"
22:01:37_ntsnBBigBambii
22:01:47BigBambi?
22:01:52_ntsnbelieve me that i know this, i dont want to interupt
22:02:07BigBambi_ntsn: don't worry
22:02:09_ntsnso bluebrother - any ideas?
22:02:13bluebrother_ntsn: please try the "Installation" tab
22:02:16pixelmaBigBambi: I'd just like an opinion on why selecting a number is on "menu" and whether anything speaks against putting it on "select", thanks :)
22:02:38BigBambipixelma: On select please
22:02:52bluebrotheruse the "Bootloader" button first. We had issues with automatic installation in the past (but those should be fixed −− probably there is still something wrong :o )
22:02:52_ntsnjust for general info: ive open the root of my sansa and found ./.rockbox
22:02:56_ntsnbut its empty
22:03:01BigBambipixelma: I just spent a minute pressing all the buttons trying to figure out how to select :)
22:03:06pixelmabluebrother: thanks, will take a look
22:03:18_ntsnbluebrother
22:03:28*bluebrother just got hilighted
22:03:34BigBambi\o/
22:03:49_ntsnim getting to the installation tab, but first - i think that more problems will pop up soon, there is a way to backup this sansa on my windows?

22:04:47bluebrothersansapatcher (which installs the bootloader and is utilized by Rockbox Utility) is usually safe. I don't know of any serious issues (except people using it in strange ways)

22:05:07BigBambiAs for the system, unless you do something really silly that isn't in the manual, it will be fine - and even then it is recoverable
22:05:34_ntsnokay so im going back to the bootloader
22:05:54_ntsnagain: NO SANSA FOUND
22:06:05bluebrotherthat's really interesting.
22:06:28bluebrotherdid autodetection work or did you select the model yourself?
22:06:28_ntsnwell
22:06:36_ntsnit did NOT
22:06:42_ntsni selected the model by my self
22:06:45_ntsnand the drive too

22:07:12bluebrotherok. Then there is definitely an issue detecting the player. Autodetection should be able to detect the sansa in every case
22:07:16_ntsni will disconnect it to make sure of it

22:36:51bluebrotherI don't think so but maybe it's worth a try. I don't think −−verbose works on sansapatcher
22:38:20bluebrotherhmm, Rockbox definitely lacks a bmp viewer.
22:39:06gevaertsIt has one. It's called the While Playing Screen ;)
22:39:23_ntsn2bootloader: the same thing..

22:49:39leachim6If I wanted to make a plugin for rockbox ... how would I run it
22:49:48Llorean_ntsn: If neither sansapatcher nor rbutil can detect your player, you need to figure out what's different about it.
22:49:52leachim6could I run it from the data partition or would I have to reinstall rockbox

22:51:41_ntsnokay, thanks anyway
22:52:10leachim6Llorean, couldn't I write some sort of loader plugin that loads plugins from the data partition ?
22:52:59_ntsnscorche|sh - you are free to help? i think i know the problem
22:53:17bluebrother_ntsn: if you know the problem why not just name it?

22:53:44bluebrotherwhy didn't I build my usb id tool against release dlls? grrr.
22:54:00Lloreanleachim6: Rockbox exists on the data partition. You just need to unzip a new rockbox.zip to the player, how is that more difficult than copying over a plugin? Perhaps you should investigate how rockbox plugins work first?
22:54:07_ntsni have just found out that after running the complete, the big bang happens (sansa not found), then i open the root of my sansa and there is a .rockbox folder
22:54:25pixelmabascule_on_forum: maybe I'll take a look tomorrow or so. Currently working on updates to plugin button tables, want to get that in first
22:54:28_ntsnbut its empty, maybe it has no permission to write things into it?
22:54:40Llorean_ntsn: I thought you were running it as admin
22:54:50_ntsnyes i do
22:54:51pixelmabascule_on_forum: is there something plugin related in your patches too?
22:54:57*BigBambi didn't think fat32 had permissions anyway
22:55:19Bagder_ntsn: file system messed up? out of disk space?
22:55:25_ntsni see that the folder exists, but its empty, it may have only writing permission?
22:55:35bluebrotheryou might want to run chkdsk /f on that drive

22:55:49Bagder_ntsn: v2 sansa?
22:55:52advcomp2019_ntsn, i am wondering what sansa firmware you have installed
22:55:59_ntsnbagder - i have no idea
22:56:01bluebrotherFAT32 only has a read only attribute. No permissions.
22:56:15Bagder_ntsn: what's the OF version of it?
22:56:26_ntsnadvcomp2019 - i have NOT updated my sansa firmware since i bought it, the current version of my original sansa firmware is:
22:56:27bluebrotherrbutil should be able notifying the user of a v2 ... if autodetection is used.
22:56:40bascule_on_forumpixelma: thanks. No, none of my updates are plugin-related
22:56:41bluebrotherof course it's possible there are PIDs missing
22:56:51PaulJamBagder: no, he posted the fw version earlier. it's a v1.
22:56:59Bagderah, ok I missed that
22:57:00_ntsnmy version: 01.02.18A
22:57:13Bagder_ntsn: you tried using other usb ports in your computer?
22:57:18BigBambi_ntsn: You worked out 1h40 ago that it was v1 with LambdaCalculus
22:57:26_ntsnat first i used the front-pane usb's
22:57:36_ntsnthen i tried the ones at the back of the case

22:57:57_ntsnboth gave the same error "sansa not found" and i couldnt detect it with the rbutil
22:58:08Bagder_ntsn: and does your OS detect the device and list it in some list somewhere of usb devices?
22:58:31BigBambileachim6: There is a .rockbox folder that contains them all
22:58:44Lloreanleachim6: All of them but the bootloader, in a standard install...

23:23:10_ntsnbut as long as it working - it does not matter
23:23:28BigBambiyes, it is very odd that rbutil didn't work as it uses the same code as sansapatcher
23:23:38BigBambiand it worked fine for me for instance
23:24:28_ntsnbluebrother, BigBambi, gevaerts, LambdaCalculus37 thanks for the help guys, im really apperciate it, keep up the good work :)
