00:20:39amiconnI'd have to make it say '0 Hz' if the rate isn't known (i.e. when not recording)
00:21:06peturyes, it says weird things with no cable attached atm
00:21:32amiconnPerhaps the firmware function should return 0 when rate isn't known on swcodec as well
00:21:42peturyes
00:21:56amiconn...and then the recording screen could handle that special case and print "unknown" (localised)

00:31:00stripwaxIs there a rockbox sourcefile that defines an appopriate keycombo for 'quit' that all plugins can/could use, without needing to separately define it in each plugin? For all the plugins that use the same keycombo to quit, that is, of course..
00:31:32stripwaxe.g. menu+select on ipod. is there a #define for a de-facto BUTTON_PLUGIN_QUIT or somesuch?
00:31:54rasherstripwax: There are the Plugin actions, but people don't like them
00:32:48stripwaxdo you know why not?
00:33:24LloreanBecause they actually increase inconsistency, mainly because people use them very poorly.
00:33:27rasherBecause for some plugins and targets, you end up having to define a lot of exceptions, I believe is the most important point.
00:33:58rasherAlso, I believe the choice of basing it on bubbles was a mistake.
00:38:06pixelmaplugin controls can be quite different and sometimes also the physical button layout can have an influence on the "best" keymap. Another thing is that the definitions are in a different file and it creates hidden connections/dependencies
00:38:37pixelmawith those (current) pluginlib actions I mean

00:49:37amiconnIt seems that if one applies a similar optimisation as for reading, the pp sd controller doesn't like it because the data port is 16, but is written to using stmia (32 bit wide), and the high bits contain data

00:50:41amiconnClearing the high bits would be possible with extra instructions. Need to check whether that'd still be faster than using separate strh instructions

01:32:43*amiconn thinks his patch will need testing on other c200's, and also e200's
01:33:08*gevaerts is pretty sure about that. Just removing the udelay fixed everything on his c200
01:33:36amiconnIncluding the data glitches in usb mode?
01:33:45amiconn(I mean the sd related ones)
01:33:55gevaertsyes
01:34:24gevaertsOther people saw the errors appear by doing that however
01:34:29amiconnI didn't try it in usb mode yet, just in rockbox, using test_disk.rock "Write & verify"
01:34:45gevaerts(or at least occur more often)
01:34:50amiconnThis writes 300MB of pseudo-random data, then reads back & compares
01:35:13amiconn(against the prng sequence, so no extra ram needed for that)
01:35:40amiconnI've modified test_disk so that it uses the card, not the internal flash

01:50:42 Part LightKnight ("Client exiting")
01:51:19amiconnNo, you have to have the firmware partition in place before doing the mod, otherwise there will be no diskmode, and you'd have to use the ipotupdater or itunes restore method

01:53:40gevaertsFor some exotic values of "work" I guess :)
01:53:42amiconnOkay, so that should work too. But if you have a cardreader, I think that it's better to put the firmware partition in place beforehand
01:55:47gevaertsZambezi: a lot depends on your general computer knowledge. If you're not familiar with partitions and disk images, you will indeed need to study a bit

04:29:28Davide-NYCThis bug is at least for H1x0 targets, not sure of other CF Moddable target bootloaders exhibit this bug.

04:45:38Llorean Davide-NYC: I don't see as "Making sure CF mod works" as a major 3.0 point.
04:45:53Davide-NYCThat's why I'm bringing it up.
04:45:58Llorean3.0 should be centered around core Rockbox functionality.
04:46:02Llorean"Hardware mods" certainly aren't.
04:46:07Davide-NYCIt worthy of a tracker entry though.
04:46:31saratogaII should note that those units are "mW/16" for reasons I don't want to discuss
04:46:34Llorean7pre4 isn't an official Rockbox bootloader, so bug reports shouldn't really be filed against it. It's also quite old code by this point.
04:47:06Davide-NYCOK. I'd like to file this somewhere. Please tell me where would be appropriate.
04:47:23LloreanWhat do you want to file? That outdated code doesn't work with the CF Mod?
04:47:53Davide-NYCYes.
04:47:56LloreanWhy?
04:48:20LloreanIf current SVN Rockbox USB mode works with the CF Mod, odds are pretty good a bootloader actually built against the current codebase will have working USB bootloader mode.
04:48:22Davide-NYCA footnote on the bootloader page
04:48:32Davide-NYCmaybe just a forum post
04:48:36saratogasome conclusions: doubling CPU clock frequency increases CPU power consumption by about 53mW, while doubling the number of cores working increases power consumption by about 10mW
04:48:45LloreanDavide-NYC: As you well know, the forums are not for static data.
04:48:58saratogathus running code on the second CPU is roughly 5x as efficient as doubling clock, all other things being equal
04:49:05LloreanIf you'd like you could always add it to the wiki page hosting the unofficial bootloaders, I suppose.
04:49:28saratogait would seem sleeping either core has only a very small impact on power consumption
04:49:48Lloreansaratoga: So basically, dual core should offer us some pretty significant benefits if it allows us to avoid boosting?
04:49:58LloreanFor codecs that boost, that is.
04:50:42saratogayeah looks that way
04:51:03Davide-NYCLlorean: I'll add it to the CFMod page
04:51:04saratogai ran the test a couple times, so i'm reasonably sure
04:53:53LloreanDual Core would be neat to have for 3.1. But if dual core AND USB both happen, what will we have for 3.2?
04:55:32saratogai need to look into codec on cop
04:56:09saratogaa proof of concept patch that used uncached memory to pass data in and out might be straightforward, but i don't really understand the playback system well enough to say for sure
05:00
05:00:44saratogai just had a really twisted idea: MDCT uses roughly half of the CPU time in WMA, Ogg and AAC, and the new IMDCT library I put on the tracker is communicated with purely through IRAM
05:01:41Soapsaratoga, you seem hell bent on making me reencode to something other than MP3.
05:01:43Soap;)
05:02:19saratogathough on second thought, it'd be hard to store the state of two blocks at once so maybe its not worth trying
05:02:34saratogaheh I want to optimize MP3, i just don't know how

05:22:17Davide-NYCguys, to make bootloader I configure, then I make, then what?
05:22:27LloreanDavide-NYC: It's not really safe to build the bootloader from SVN. If anything goes wrong with it, you might not be able to recover your player.
05:22:56Davide-NYCI would like to know what the current state of the BL is.
05:23:08LloreanYou're willing to risk sacrificing your player for curiosity?
05:23:26Davide-NYCwell, no.
05:23:49Davide-NYCso how do devs test?
05:24:09LloreanYou can use special hardware to recover a damaged H100 or H300
05:24:24LloreanTjat
05:24:36LloreanThat's why the bootloaders get out of date from time to time.
05:24:45LloreanOnly a few people can safely test the new code to make sure it's safe for others to use.
05:25:50Davide-NYCgoogle is not my friend with TJAT
05:26:03LloreanTjat is a typo on "That"
05:26:03saratogaits actually JTAG
05:26:34Lloreansaratoga: Weren't the H100/H300 BDM?
05:26:46saratogaoh maybe i just assumed you meant JTAG

12:56:08scorche|shi would be for that
12:56:23linuxstbThe whole point of 3.0 is to be stable...
12:57:20Nico_PI'm not convinced the hub issue counts as instability
12:57:24linuxstbEnabling the day after 3.0 seems sensible to me - so users have a clear choice between something usable and something experimental.

12:58:07gevaertsNico_P: the hub issue makes it unusable for some people
12:58:08scorche|shi dont think the hub issue would make it "unusable"
12:58:31gevaerts"unusable" as in "it doesn't work at all"

14:16:34robin0800B4gder,I agree, personaly though i would prefferred the Sansa not to be frozen until charging and file transfer is fixed. I would have hoped 3.0 would mean OF not needed
14:17:25Lloreanrobin0800: 3.0 had a timeline.
14:17:28GodEaterthis would be a new "feature" though of Rockbox, and therefore is banned by the freeze
14:17:35LloreanDid you want us to cancel 3.0, or just leave the Sansa out of it?
14:19:38robin0800Llorean, leave any target out if it still needs the OF?
14:19:54B4gderI think the date and 3.0 is more important than specific features in it
14:20:16Lloreanrobin0800: So, basically, limit it to Gigabeat, Archos, and coldfire-based targets.
14:20:43Lloreanrobin0800: And why exactly is it such a great evil to document "The player will automatically reboot into disk mode for USB access"?
14:20:48robin0800Llorean, Yes
14:21:16Llorean3.0 is the introduction of reliable software codec playback, it is not the abolishment of the original firmware.
14:21:22linuxstbrobin0800: I think excluding targets from 3.0 will cause more problems than including them with limited features.
14:22:03linuxstbAnd excluding targets from release won't make the features you want happen any sooner.
14:22:30*Llorean thinks recording should be a focus of 3.1 and abolishment of OF perhaps a goal for 3.2

14:23:52Lloreanpetur: I didn't mean fix it. Just focus on it. Try to get it in a "very good" state for users. REP stuff, etc.
14:23:52peturor do you mean 'recording on all targets'?
14:24:44robin0800Llorean,Its easier in support, you don't have to tell anyone that disk mode etc is Apples,
14:24:53LloreanNico_P: Yes. I suspect though that through testing there will probably still be a lot of room to improve, and other targets still need a good deal of work to abolish the OF.
14:25:09linuxstbrobin0800: Yes we do, it's just that those people are using a "current build" instead of "3.0"

14:26:15robin0800Llorean,Who is 3.0 aimed at then, who needs it?
14:26:16Lloreanlinuxstb: We kinda do. The freeze is supposed to be two weeks. When august ends, we unfreeze and pick a build. Then probably a little more time will pass before the release because we need to package it up for installation, get the known issues fully in order, etc.
14:26:57Lloreanrobin0800: 3.0 is aimed at "everyone who currently uses Rockbox" as a build they can safely use when the bleeding edge builds are unstable or unreliable.
14:27:12*petur realizes he will be on holiday when the release is done
14:27:25LloreanIt's a state of the code with (hopefully) a local minimum of known issues tagged for public use.
14:27:57linuxstbHas the idea of release-candidates been discussed? i.e. branch 3.0 in SVN (call it 3.0-RC1), and then have the ability to make a few minor changes before actually tagging it as 3.0?
14:28:19Lloreanlinuxstb: No, it hasn't. I personally wouldn't be against it at all.
14:28:44LloreanMaybe 1 week of RC status after the freeze ends even?
14:28:48B4gderI think we should do it that way, we branch on the unfreeze day
14:28:59swimmerapropos tagging - could you tag a rbutil_current as well while you're at it? ;-)
14:29:51B4gderswimmer: that sounds like a tag that would be moved at each release?
14:30:03LloreanB4gder: That was the proposition, for the gentoo ebuild
14:30:17linuxstbWhy couldn't the ebuild just use a source tarball?
14:30:28LloreanInstead of building bleeding edge source, move the rbutil_release tag each time a new numbered version came out, so the ebuild is always "up to date" but isn't relying on in-development code.

16:35:22gevaertsrobin0800: can you have a look at the System log in the Event Viewer to see if there are any disk errors?
16:36:59decayedcellgevaerts i thought ipodpatcher checked that the firmware partition was installed
16:38:15gevaertsdecayedcell: It probably does. What exactly are you trying to do?
16:38:24decayedcellsay i have a blank hard drive
16:38:37decayedcelli format it to the correct sectors firmware/main
16:39:07decayedcelli would like to take the firmware partition off a hard drive which has the firmware installed on the firmware partition, then use e.g. ipodpatcher to restore that image onto the blank hard drive
16:39:21decayedcellso then i would have two identical drives without imaging the whole thing
16:39:41gevaertsipodpatcher is not the right tool for that. Use dd or something similar to just copy the firmare partition
16:40:02decayedcellwhat would the parameters for dd be I get stuck :(

18:36:34UncleRemusOK, thanks. I got stuck with the text editor and wanted some help when I had no access to the net
18:36:37linuxstbBut I guess you could save each chapter - it could be easier to browse that way
18:37:06n1si think there's a way to build a text only manual from soure
18:37:15n1ss/soure/source/
18:37:42linuxstbCould be a nice thing to produce for 3.0...

18:38:17 Part Ubuntuxer
18:38:48bluebrothern1s: there's a make target manual-txt iirc
18:39:00bluebrotherit builds the html and converts using lynx though.

18:39:14rasherCan't latex output directly to text?
18:39:38bluebrothernot that I know −− it's not its purpose. txt isn't high quality typesetting ;-)
18:39:54rasherI suppose
18:40:19linuxstbMaybe other tools exist to do that with latex source?

18:47:58sXeLeTHaLhey guys i just installed rockbox with the automatic installer (did full install) but how do i install themes with this program, when the window comes up it says "getting themes information... the following errors occured: No Themes Found."
18:48:28sXeLeTHaLoh i installed it on a 30gig ipod vidoe
18:48:31sXeLeTHaLvideo*
18:48:36LloreansXeLeTHaL: It installs themes from an unofficial theme website which is currently outdated anyway. Basically, you can't use it for installing themes right now
18:48:41LloreanYou'll have to go to the wiki and get themes there
18:48:58sXeLeTHaLok i downloaded some from there how would i install those?
18:49:40sXeLeTHaLi downloaded (for example) black glass_aa_v123, extracted now where do i put those files?
18:49:50LloreanIn the same folders on the player.
18:50:02LloreanA properly packaged theme should preserve all the necessary folders

19:01:18fmlAny web admins here? In the left bar of the rockbox site, the Search title is at a wrong place IMHO. It is placed above FS search, not site search box.
19:01:46gevaertsfml: both are searches...
19:02:03domonokyfml, but the FS search is also a search ? so its like a heading..
19:02:20gevaertsYou could argue that site search needs to come first, but I think it's pretty clear that the Search title applies to both
19:03:03amiconnIt's a heading like Downlaods, Documentation, Support and Tracker
19:04:00amiconnIt's abit irritating though that the heading is smaller than the search boxes, and that the heading is glued to the upper box

21:50:45LloreaniPod nano can, in my opinion, be read about as well as an h100 assuming black text and white backdrop

21:51:16amiconniPod Photo (lcd type 0) shutdown isn't known

21:52:58SoapLlorean, has any thought been made about splitting the "Rockbox General Discussion" forum into a "Release Questions" and a "SVN Questions" (note title case ;) ) section - or some other way to separate the two?

21:54:02linuxstbSoap: That sounds confusing - as most questions will apply equally to both, and I'm sure if people have problems with 3.0, we're just going to suggest they test a current build anyway...
21:54:08LambdaCalculus37amiconn: Mine is quite readable with the backlight off.
21:56:06LloreanSoap: Yeah, as linuxstb said, I think we're not really going to be too interested in questions about 3.0 that are unique to 3.0.
21:56:37LloreanWe're probably only going to do a 3.0.1 type point-release if there's some "It won't boot on Nanos, didn't you guys test this thing?" kinda bug.
21:57:08LloreanSo most questions should be met with either "that's a known issue, try a current build" or "please add that to the known issues page"
21:57:59gevaertsActually, I think "supported" means that _we_ have to add it to the known issues page
21:58:02linuxstbI guess there's also support issues - if Rockbox behaviour changes post-3.0. But I don't think splitting the general forum will help that - the posts should go in the area-specific forums anyway.

22:12:25amiconnThis suggests that we're still some SoC stuff improperly (unsurprisingly...)

22:18:56amiconnI wouldn't be surprised if it does
22:19:29amiconnThe OF bootloader presumably does quite some hardware setup
22:20:39amiconnOn the 1st/2nd Gen iPod there was a *big* difference in power consumption depending on whether the rockbox bootloader was entered from a cold reset, or via soft reset out of disk mode
22:21:04amiconnThe difference was so significant that I was able to feel the temeparture difference
22:21:39saratogai hate to mess with the bootloader given it's fickleness, but perhaps that needs to be another round of tests
22:21:47amiconnThe ipod got quite warm to the touch with rockbox booted from cold reset. That's how I found those DEV_EN settings...
22:23:09amiconnLater I did some measurements on my 1st Gen, and found that all-on DEV_EN settings cause the ipod to draw >50% more power than it does with proper settings when boosted

23:50:03LambdaCalculus37Huh? tmp folder? What are you talking about?

23:51:26webguest43I installed rockbox on my sansa e270 and along with the photo file and video file and record file there is a tmp file.
23:51:46Lloreanwebguest43: None of those are folders created by Rockbox.
23:52:20webguest43so are they from the original os
23:52:21Davide-NYCI'm having trouble building test_codec for the gigabeat S, anyone want to help? Here's a pastebin of the the error: http://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20080821#06:53:29
23:53:15Davide-NYCwebguest43: presumably yes
23:53:33rasherDavide-NYC: The issue seems pretty simple. test_codec assumes it's running on a player with frequency scaling. It isn't.
23:53:38 Part Inverse
23:53:48LambdaCalculus37Davide-NYC: Yo, dude! Got the same error as you
23:53:49Davide-NYCso I can just comment out the line?

23:54:17webguest43do keep my mp3 player on the usb mode or do i switch back to mpt

23:54:39Lloreanwebguest43: it's up to you, but it's easier to use Rockbox with MSC
23:54:41rasherDavide-NYC: I suppose the more "correct" (in the sense that it's still a hack) thing would be to set CPUFREQ_MAX to the frequency the S runs at (I guess, all the time?)
23:55:02Lloreanrasher: An even better solution would be to see what it does for Gigabeat F
23:55:05LloreanSince that has no scaling either
23:55:27LambdaCalculus37Llorean: Good idea. :)
23:55:30 Quit midkay_ ("Leaving")
23:55:44LambdaCalculus37Davide-NYC: Can you PM me?
23:55:45gevaertsThe best solution of course would be to implement scaling :)
23:55:47webguest43What folders do rockbox create for media storage? or do i just make them myself?
23:55:53LambdaCalculus37You make them youself.
23:55:54rasherLlorean: And do we know that test_codec works on gigabeat?
23:56:08webguest43k, thanx
23:56:12 Quit erram_ (Remote closed the connection)
23:56:13Davide-NYCrasher: I can build for GBF to test
23:56:15Lloreanrasher: There are results from it posted in the wiki, so I'm assuming it does.
23:56:23rasherMaybe there should just be #ifdef CPUFREQ_MAX { use that } #else { use CPU_FREQ }
23:56:43rasherI'm surprised it works for gigabeat, since that doesn't seem to set CPUFREQ_MAX either
23:56:57rasherErr..
23:56:58rasherIgnore me
23:56:59*Davide-NYC compiling
23:58:08rashers3c2440/gigabeat-fx/system-target.h:#define CPUFREQ_MAX 296352000
23:58:12Davide-NYCwhere is CPUFREQ_MAX defined?
23:58:12n1sthat CPUFREQ_MAX is just used for displaying the MHz needed for realtime
23:58:25Davide-NYCah
23:58:31rasherDavide-NYC: in (for example) target/arm/s3c2440/gigabeat-fx/system-target.h
23:58:42Davide-NYCyeah, I saw that after posting
23:58:46*Davide-NYC doh!
