00:21:49amiconnpixelma: InterixDevelopment says somewhere near the top that this is not possible
00:22:11gevaertsIt works. I'm now testing again if and how much it speeds things up
00:22:35amiconnIt would require building tetex on Interix. I've found hints that this can be done, but I probably can't be bothered to try that
00:22:49gevaertsI doubt if interix would be much faster than cygwin for latex anyway
00:23:18amiconnVoice building already has a couple of problems I need to work around
00:23:24gevaertsThat's not something that starts lots of processes
00:23:36amiconnNo, latex is quite fast on cygwin

02:36:57XavierGrit is more than MAX_PATH

02:40:28XavierGrJdGordon: so what is your opinion, make it 1/4 of the viewport or setting?
02:42:02XavierGramiconn: I got worse time in interix vs Cygwin
02:42:24XavierGrH300 build in Interix took 2.18 while in Cygwin 1.58

02:47:40JdGordonXavierGr: yeah, i think 1/2 width is a bit much
02:50:13*Llorean thinks it needs to be configurable if it's going to be changed at all.
02:50:14XavierGramiconn: 2nd test Recorder - Interix: 1m14.656s while Recorder - Cygwin: 1m3.656s
02:50:56XavierGrAs I am the guy that wants as much settings as possible in Rockbox, I will have to agree with Llorean
02:51:01LloreanI don't want to have to wait for a bunch of extra blank characters to be drawn before it shows me the beginning of the track name again if I've just gotten to the end, especially if I just turned the backlight on to see something at the beginning of the string.
02:51:29LloreanAnd it doesn't make sense to hardcode it in a way that workarounds are impossible when it's currently hardcoded in a way where you *can* workaround without C knowledge.
02:52:00XavierGrLlorean: yeah but the workaround is a pain :\
02:52:23Llorean"A pain" is better than "Impossible" which is what you'd be offering people who are happy with the current behaviour by changing the hardcoding.
02:52:43XavierGrI will try to make it a setting, maybe something like, defualt (minimum) 1/4 viewport, 2/4 viewport, 1 viewport?
02:53:30LloreanWhy not just a number of spaces using the current font?
02:54:07XavierGrThat could be done too and be more easy, it is just that the user won't be sure about how much it will end up due to different sizes of fonts
02:54:28LloreanAnd with your method, different lines will have different spacings depending on viewport size.
02:54:39XavierGryes indeed
02:54:40LloreanWhich will be particularly noticeable in multiple-viewport WPSes and such.
02:55:03***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
02:55:08LloreanIt makes more sense, to me, to just have them pick either "a number of spaces" or "a number of pixels" rather a than a percentage of a variable they don't know the value of in advance, and may be different for different lines.
02:55:22XavierGrok I will make it that way, it's way more easy anyway
02:56:01XavierGrprobably limit it to something sane too, we don't want a huge value for it
02:56:15LloreanLimit it to screen width / 2 maybe?
02:57:51XavierGryeah seems logical, though different proportions, screen width = pixels while the setting will be in characters
02:58:50LloreanMay as well just pick a number then.
02:59:58XavierGrwill try it tomorrow, unfortunately today interix didn't manage to replace Cygwin. It seems that Cygwin will still keep its throne for a long time in Windows Rockbox develpment (at least for me)

03:11:55JdGordonthe setting will need to be "insert a minimum of X pixels" but that will get messy if the first few are width/something
03:12:46LloreanI think just a flat number of pixels, maybe in 10s so like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
03:13:13LloreanSo the first one is "a character and a half" or so for the very smallest fonts, while the last one is ~1/3 of the screen on the very largest screens.

04:04:27Lloreanaarcane: We recommend you use RBUtil these days for Rockbox installs.
04:04:31LloreanWhat was your question?
04:05:11aarcaneLlorean, I'm trying to get .ipod files from official apple firmware images, but I don't want to go through the hassle of installing them to my ipod to get the .ipod image. can ipodpatcher do that somehow ?
04:05:30LloreanThat's not what it's designed to do, no.
04:05:59aarcaneLlorean, can you suggest a tool that IS capable of doing that?

04:08:19aarcaneLlorean, I had figured it would be a natural extension to ipodpatcher, but I an see how it's not directly related. so you're not aware of any package or program that can do that currently ?
04:08:49Llorean".ipod" isn't exactly a real file format or anything
04:09:35LloreanIn fact I think it's just a header added to a normal iPod firmware image. There's really no reason other people would be making tools to work with a format that's really mostly there just for the Rockbox tools and bootloader to recognize.

04:11:45LloreanWell that's something you should be asking the iPodWizard guys, then.
04:11:53Lloreanmaybe they'll write you a tool that packages up their modified firmwares.
04:13:16aarcaneLlorean, I suppose I could ask..
04:14:00LloreanWell, there's nothing really else for you to do. This channel is for Rockbox-related stuff.
04:15:50aarcaneLlorean, I had just hoped that rockbox's firmware modification tool could create it's own .ipod files from official firmwares. the ipodwizard stuff doesn't really do anything except change s ome basic resources in the file :-S

04:43:47soapYes, I didn't mean to imply intentional misinformation, but if the original firmware works in all likelyhood something we were told is not so.
04:43:55_emprbutil is on version 1.0.6, right?
04:44:11Llorean1.0.7
04:44:41Lloreansoap: Yes, that unfortunately is very difficult to diagnose. I'm hoping maybe a restore with iTunes (including associated reformatting) will clear things up.
04:45:08Llorean_emp: I'm not sure I'm understanding. Why can't it be built from the tagged SVN revision that was used to create the version we distribute to people?
04:45:09_empthanks, Llorean, and that is the version in the 3.0 file?
04:45:15LloreanNo.
04:45:42LloreanThe 3.0 file only represents the current build of _Rockbox_ and the utility release version will be different.
04:45:50_empLlorean, I just need a dist file at the end of the day with the source. It's how the port tree system works.
04:46:11LloreanSo it cannot work from a project that doesn't provide separate tarballs, period?
04:46:39 Quit HBK- ()
04:46:54_empif a tarball exists with a frozen version of rockbox utility source, then that would be a better option since the source is smaller
04:47:03LloreanThat doesn't really answer my question.
04:47:40LloreanRight now, versions of RBUtil are tagged in SVN. There aren't separate tarballs of it, and there's no tarball in existence representing a specific version of it.
04:48:04LloreanThe one in 3.0 is likely to have a few bugs that have long since been fixed (as well as added features such as "The ability to install 3.0").
04:48:24_empthe ports system for the bsds are setup to pull down a file, typically a tarball, with source, extract it into a working directory, do a fake build in that directory structure, generate a PLIST as to where the files will be installed after a make fake, and then install the files per the hierarchy specified by the OS.
04:48:55Llorean_emp: So the "pull down a file" stage can't be replaced with, for example, a version control checkout?
04:48:56aarcanewhere's the table of reported battery life in rockbox on different ipods ?
04:49:05Lloreanaarcane: IpodRuntime, I think
04:49:26_empLlorean, nope, since the process also does a checksum on the file to make sure it's a good file as part of the process of pulling it down.
04:49:56_empthe port system is not designed to work with subversion trees or any other trees
04:50:11Llorean_emp: Then wouldn't it make the most sense for you to archive a 1.0.7 rbutil archive, and have it use that?
04:50:36_empLlorean, it would if I had a place to host the 1.0.7 file.
04:51:06Llorean_emp: It seems reasonably, since we host the necessities for installing it on other OSes, that you could just talk with Bagder about it when he's around...
04:51:44LloreanThat way an attempt can be made to make sure oBSD users (it was that, right) can actually be using the same version as the rest of our users.
04:51:52_empLlorean, thanks. My patches are working to install the 3.0 file some gcc'isms and some mounting changes, but that's pretty much it.
04:52:02_empLlorean, yep
04:52:06LloreanDon't install the 3.0 file.
04:52:07LloreanSeriously.
04:52:16_empno prob; I'll wait
04:52:34LloreanIt's not any specific version of RButil, and it probably can't even install Rockbox 3.0, since that feature was enabled in the util after the release, not at the time of.

04:53:03_empI originally built this off of the rockbox.7z file about a month ago.
04:53:06LloreanIf there are changes to rbutil itself, you should go ahead and post them to the tracker.
04:53:10saratogadid anyone take a look at that updated album art resize patch?
04:53:19_empLlorean, my patches are all ready up on the tracker
04:53:21Lloreansaratoga: Haven't heard anyone mention it.
04:53:40Llorean_emp: Ah, that's good then. Maybe call Bluebrother or domonoky's attention to them (when they're around, if they haven't commented yet)
04:53:59saratogai'm skimming it now, but technically i'm supposed to be studying for an exam so i can't really dig into it tonight
04:54:01_empLlorean, one patch to make it work with gcc-3.3.5 and the rest to get it to mount to under the oBSD stuff
04:54:26Llorean_emp: And neither will break other builds of it on the OSes we already support?
04:54:49_empLlorean, let me double check them; it's been a while since I did them.
04:55:05***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
04:55:24Llorean_emp: A lot of time we expect patches on the tracker to stay there until they don't require any extra work on the committer's part (or minimal extra work) before inclusion, so it's helpful to try to make sure they're "ready to go" as it were. :)
04:55:54Unhelpful_emp: did you end up having to change the OSX mount stuff much at all?
04:55:56_empLlorean, hey, no problem. Two of them have a potential issue, but I can fix those up next week.
04:56:05Llorean_emp: If you think they are "done", you can also send a message to the -dev mailing list, since that asynchronous method of communication can better help you get in contact with the people who'd most likely look at those patches.
04:56:24_empUnhelpful, oBSD doesn't mount like osx
04:56:44_empLlorean, I'll tweak the two problematic ones. Those had to do with the geometry.
04:56:59Unhelpfuli seem to recall talking to you about developing this... was it the mount enumeration that was similar?

05:06:00saratogaseems fairly ridiculous to still be passing out unofficial builds at this point, particularly when we are inviting people to test and use it
05:07:10Unhelpfulsaratoga: part of the "conspiracy" to "cripple" official builds?
05:07:27Lloreansaratoga: Soap wanted a week more just to make sure it wasn't doing anything obviously strange
05:07:48saratogaah ok
05:07:53LloreanThat was a week and a weekend ago, though
05:07:58 Nick zodttd|away is now known as zodttd (n=zodttd@user-142gtg7.cable.mindspring.com)
05:08:02LloreanSo we're about at the time where someone should\ commit it.
05:08:13saratogastill seems pretty safe, its basically a driver as I understand it
05:08:20saratogashouldn't have effects beyond PP
05:08:41saratogai usually just commit those things and wait to see if people report bugs
05:09:09LloreanOne thing to check
05:09:22LloreanAccessory power will reduce battery life if it defaults to on.
05:09:36LloreanBut will cause some devices to fail for a non-obvious reason if it's off.
05:09:42LloreanSo we need to decide which way to err.
05:10:37Unhelpfulno way at all to tell when a device is plugged in and turn it on then? is that something the OF can do that's not documented?
05:10:48LloreanUnhelpful: I believe that's the case, yeah.
05:11:18saratogadid we ever agree that the hit was real from turning it off?
05:11:27ameyershrug, make a menu option?
05:11:35ameyerif there's a real hit?
05:11:36saratogaBuschel claimed some ridiculously small difference from turning it on, but he tested via battery bench
05:11:45saratogasorry from turning it on
05:11:47Lloreanameyer: A very real hit.
05:11:58Lloreansaratoga: I thought it was like an hour or more less runtime.
05:12:05saratogai remember some skeptisism that he could measure such small differences
05:12:19saratogaI believe it was much smaller, on the order of minutes not hours
05:12:23LloreanHmm.
05:12:31soapI get disgustingly repeatable runtimes, FWIW.
05:12:31LloreanI could've sworn accessory power was one of the bigger costs.
05:12:52*ameyer just thinks that if there's a significant difference, it should be easy to disable
05:13:01 Quit miepchen^schlaf (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
05:13:09ameyeralso, would this be all PP or just iPods?
05:13:13soapbut I still round to 15 minutes as I'd rather be have a higher noise floor than false signal.
05:13:27soapameyer, it is easy to disable.
05:13:28Lloreanameyer: Just iPods.
05:13:46saratogaan hours difference would mean it uses ~ 2ma, which seems like an enormous amount of power for a supply thats not actually powering anything
05:14:00Lloreanameyer: The accessory protocol is the Apple firmware talking to Apple licensed accessories.
05:14:16ameyerI figured
05:14:24saratogaand since apple apparently does not turn it off, its hard to imagine it uses much power
05:14:29saratogaotherwise they'd be sure to switch it on and off
05:14:34Lloreansaratoga: Are we sure they don't?
05:14:40soapdoes apple not turn it off or do they auto-detect?
05:14:50saratogaI believe Buschel said they didn't turn it off, but i could be mistaken
05:15:11LloreanWould it make sense to maybe turn it on once every second (or two), and check if an accessory is attached?
05:15:27LloreanThen there'd be a slight detection lag, but it wouldn't be on constantly

05:19:24*Unhelpful wonders if it would be possible to hack up an apple accessory adaptor for other players... useful only under rockbox, of course.
05:20:36soap8 is disgusting. ;) Speaking of which - is there objection to boost on UI, or just the current implementation. My Video has poopy scrolling since MP3 went multicore. MP3 playback w/o boosting appears to leave just too little CPU left over for consistent smooth scrolling through long lists.
05:21:08Lloreansoap: Personally, I really like the idea of "boost on UI"
05:21:16LloreanBut I'm not sure what holds it back / shoots it down.
05:21:33LloreanIt seems to me like it'd make sense on *all* portalplayer targets
05:21:44LloreanOr really *any* target where you can tell during the UI when the CPU boosts/unboosts.
05:22:35soapIt doesn't seem to be much of an issue on the Nano, but the 5G and its large screen and low clock really shows it.

05:23:01LloreanI haven't tried the Nano with the new CPU patch
05:23:21LloreanBut back before multicore MP3 I could see a difference in scrolling when boosted/unboosted.
05:23:35LloreanAnd UI boost would let us drop to 24/80 with almost no user-visible effect.
05:23:45LloreanIt should average out to better battery life for a lot of people.

05:36:14Lloreansoap: IIUC 24 is some sort of ideal speed (something's native speed), we'd actually be getting rid of one of the states by using it. I'd be curious exactly how much slower we could even get before basic WPS rendering starts causing it to demand a boost for PCM playback.

05:42:41saratogai have some ideas about how I think boosting should work
05:43:15saratogarather then boosting on user input, I would prefer it if the button drivers could set a flag indicating that the user interface is active
05:43:42saratogawhile this is set, the normal speed would be adjusted upwards somewhat, perhaps to 45MHz
05:44:00saratogawhen it is not set, the idle speed would be set to 24MHz
05:44:27saratogai prefer this approach to boosting on input because
05:44:41saratoga1) its wasteful to put the CPU at 80mhz just to handle input
05:45:12saratoga2) you're more likely to notice problems in plugins if you ping pong between 30 and 80
05:45:16 Nick zodttd|away is now known as zodttd (n=zodttd@user-142gtg7.cable.mindspring.com)
05:46:02saratogathis would also open up the way for additional optimizations on players like the sansa that do not have a passive LCD, because we would know when WPS updating was needed and when it was not
05:46:44saratogaSoap: regarding the Video, I think this problem could be mitigated for MP3 with better balancing of the COP and CPU
05:46:56saratogaI probably put too little on the COP
05:47:04saratogai just haven't had time to work on finding a more optimal balance

07:05:26aarcaneunstable, what there should be is a database which shows previews of themes and is cross-referenced with a compatibility matrix, so you know if it'll work on your ipod or music player

07:06:32aarcaneLlorean, if he could see a preview of what the theme would look like on his player, he wouldn't need a voting system to help him decide what he likes.
07:06:50Lloreanaarcane: You mean like the previously mentioned, currently available screenshots?
07:07:22aarcaneLlorean, if they have a screenshot for each applicable player that it's compatible with, then certainly.
07:07:23scorcheaarcane: that is why it is called WPS *gallery*
07:07:44Lloreanaarcane: Themes are compatible with a specific resolution. They will look exactly the same on all players of that resolution.
07:07:49LloreanWhy should there be multiple duplicate screenshots?

07:08:25scorcheso you proposed an improvement without knowing the existing system?
07:08:33aarcaneLlorean, well there don't need to be a different screenshot for different models of the same resolution and color depth obviously.

07:13:11amiconnr18725
07:13:30vitjawhat's wrong with it?
07:14:11amiconnIt's not necessary.
07:14:12vitjawe need it for usb-storage
07:14:22amiconnuh?
07:14:41amiconnThe sansa (v1) does usb storage without it
07:14:44vitjayeah it uses it to get flash size
07:17:36vitjaamiconn: what ata driver does sansa use?
07:18:32amiconnata-sd-pp.c
07:18:54vitjait seems that doesn't have ata_get_identify() at all

07:19:55vitjabut it have card_get_info_target
07:20:04amiconnyup
07:20:14amiconnIt implements struct tCardInfo, defined in hotswap.h
07:21:00vitjawhat is the best way to go with ata-nand-telechips ?
07:21:11amiconnBtw, this is something that's still not optimal (there is bit of unnecessary copying going on, it still contains an unnecessary field, and the struct name violates the coding guidelines)

07:22:26vitjaamiconn: I think while we don't have propper NAND layer ata_identify hack is ok
07:22:38amiconnhmm
07:23:03amiconnThere are targets which will need the nand driver for internal storage, and an sd driver too, right?
07:23:18vitjad2 for example
07:23:23amiconnThe necessary multiplexing/translation layer will become interesting
07:24:33*amiconn thinks we should perhaps define consistent data structure carrying public information from the "ata" driver (whatever that is internally)
07:25:22vitjaamiconn: fully agree with you
07:25:37amiconnAny driver (including the real ata.c) would only return data using this structure, independent from how it works internally

07:27:06amiconnThere would be several such structures, one per drive (not volume, as several volumes can reside on the same driver)
07:27:44vitjaso it should be like get_storage_info(int storage)
07:27:46vitja?
07:27:54amiconnIf the driver is the same, it's trivial, and if the drivers are different, the multiplexer would call the appropriate driver's function depending on the drive number
07:28:21vitjahmm what's drive number?
07:28:33vitjapartition?
07:28:38amiconnNo, drive
07:28:49vitjahw
07:28:53amiconnYou can have several partitions (volumes) on the same drive
07:29:38vitjaor you can have one partition on several drives;)
07:29:49vitjasorry not rockbox case
07:30:47vitjaok may be we should use ata_get_identify inside this function, that fills info for begining?
07:31:05amiconnA volume in rockbox is a partition (fat file system). The typical use of multivolume is for targets with more than one storage "block" (internal storage and card slot on flash targets), but there are uses for multivolume on single-drive ata targets as well
07:31:58 Part toffe82
07:32:00vitjaas I understand now we are mostly speaking about phyisical drives, right?

08:21:22imthedanwill rockbox play DRM WMA's?
08:21:36scorchenope
08:21:46imthedanthat sucks =x
08:22:12massiveHno it does not, don't use drm and you will be fine :)
08:22:30Tsukasa-Ujiieyou can dycrypt the drm if you ahve the licenses in windows media player, then convert them to mp3
08:22:39scorcheimthedan: perhaps you should buy music rather than buy a licence to use it at their discretion
08:22:53Tsukasa-Ujiielol nice
08:22:58imthedanor stop jumping to conclusions before you make yourself look like a fool.
08:22:58scorcheTsukasa-Ujiie: getting rid of the DRM is offtopic here
08:23:03imthedanI did have the CD.
08:23:06Tsukasa-Ujiiesorry, i ment legally
08:23:17imthedanIt was a friends CD that I no longer have.
08:23:30imthedanI was just asking a question.. why do you guys in here get all pissy about random shit.
08:23:53scorchei was responding to your "that sucks" comment
08:24:27scorcheyou would be hard-pressed to find an open source project that supports DRM period...the two concepts simply arent compatible
08:25:29imthedanAgain, you responded and assumed that I was downloading music.
08:25:39imthedanregardless of what you were responding to.
08:27:02GodEaterI don't see any mention of the word "download"

08:27:47Tsukasa-Ujiienot really scorche's place to say that lol
08:28:22GodEateragain, no mention of downloading
08:28:47massiveHwhy would you rip music with DRM on it, well, "how" is more a question than why?
08:29:16scorcheimthedan: one doesnt need to download to get DRM encumbered files...is this goign to get constructive any time soon, or are we just going to continue off-topic rambling?
08:29:27imthedanall I did was put the CD in my drive and use WMP to rip it.
08:29:43Tsukasa-Ujiiehe didnt rui music with drm on it, wmp adds drm to wma u rip from disks by default
08:29:43massiveHimthedan, by default, WMP does not put DRM on files it rips
08:30:02Tsukasa-Ujiieit does, the older versions do by memory
08:30:23imthedan?
08:30:32scorchesooooo...what exactly is the issue now?
08:30:33massiveHI've used WMP9 and WMP10, neither rip with DRM
08:30:34imthedanWhy would I lie?
08:30:35Tsukasa-Ujiienothing

08:32:07imthedanBy the way, massiveH, WMP9 does put DRM on their files when ripping.
08:32:13imthedanI can guarantee you.

09:59:09pixelmasince I read it was once more, the current manual *seems* to be quite long but if you actually look at the content - the pages are quite empty and what makes the manuals of targets with big screen resolutions so long are the big screenshots. I wonder if it could be done in a way that does not scare someone just lloking at the number of pages (although I wouldn't like screenshots to be small from what I imagine at the moment)
09:59:19pixelmas/lloking/looking
09:59:19*B4gder posted a comment to the patch
10:00
10:00:13Lloreanpixelma: We probably could just do a "quickstart guide" that *just* has the first two chapters. Most people will probably read that and learn the controls at least.
10:00:22LloreanMost often people asking things that are in the manual are asking about controls
10:00:38LloreanOr Mpegplayer/Doom/Gameboy, I suppose.
10:02:31pixelmado you offering the manual in two parts, or one "quick start" and a "full" one?
10:02:35pixelma+mean
10:02:41LloreanYeah, basically
10:03:39 Part fragilematter
10:07:10scorchei would be in favor of that...most devices nowadays have both a quickstart and a full-manual
10:07:16pixelmamaybe there is also some potential in the page layout. If I remember correctly, I still get a decent size if I print two pages on one A4 and the margins seem big to me too. There is also another reason I think about this, the width defined for the button tables isn't that big and I was wondering if there is even one where an additional column would fit (in the pdf)
10:08:02pixelmafor targets with remote/M3 as discussed at DevCon
10:15:02pixelmaI think I like the quick start guide idea too (same as scorche said), now the question is if buildibg it could be done easily
10:15:36*pixelma wonders what's up with typing today

10:29:30JdGordon... I was saying this a few days ago... we should have a generic quick start on the website... we dont actually need a target specific one... all of them install with rbutil and "putting music on your player" is the same
10:31:04Waldo000000JdGordon: agreed. also, i think rbutil should provide an obvious way to choose either the latest stable release or current build, and have as default, the latest stable release

10:42:23JdGordondoes anyone know if the wps parser has any mechanism to allow tags to act as conditionals and also have parameters?
10:48:28amiconnJdGordon: Quickstart is not all the same. Several targets need additional steps during installation. Also, buttons are very different
10:48:42amiconnAnd the button repeat interval is dynamic, it speeds up over time
10:49:58JdGordonquickstart could still be done in a generic way.. and you missed what I was asking about, but found the answer in the code..
10:50:17LloreanJdGordon: This talk of quickstart is to address the fact that people feel the manual is imposing.
10:50:37LloreanIt wouldn't be much use if it didn't contain button mappings, since that's one of the major things people ask about after being scared away from the manual.
10:51:02LloreanA "Quick Install Guide" would be something separate entirely.
10:51:26JdGordonyou will still scare people off seeing a page of links...

13:22:30druiduand I managed to use usb boot mode to upload a firmware and I know a sequence of instructions to reset the usb driver which disconnects the usb, so I can no something is happening and when
13:23:05druiduthe thing is, if I write the code in assembler in a .S file −− GNU arm-elf-gcc, it works
13:23:19druiduif I link it with a .c file and write the coresponding code in C, it doesn't
13:23:35druiduso I'm not sure how to interface assembler with C code
13:23:41druiduI just use BL function
13:25:13druiduvoid function( ) { *(volatile unsigned long *) 0x80004018 = 0xFFFFFFFF; *(volatile unsigned long *) 0x80004018 = 0; }
13:26:00druiduI even tried to compile with -S and put all the code in the function there, no BL instruction, and it worked
13:26:12druiduso there must be something with the function prologue or something
13:28:30B4gdertried objdumping the C compiled version?

I think it would be relatively easy to get the apps, uisimulator and firmware code compiling for your target (as a sim of a faked target). So I would do that first, and then once I have something running, gradually work on changing things so it's no longer a sim, but a target in its own right.

14:55:42LambdaCalculus37Rockbox is not a port of Linux; it is its own kernel. There is a little POSIX influence in the kernel, but that's about it.
14:56:25olegfinkaha, so basically you port everything you want to run on rockbox?
14:56:33LambdaCalculus37Yes.

15:18:35olegfinkdo you have an xml parser for rockbox?
15:18:41B4gdernope
15:19:57linuxstbolegfink: The biggest problem will probably be that the Rockbox LCD drivers currently only support loading a single font face. So that aspect probably needs fixing first...
15:19:58B4gderif there's a lean and mean one around I suppose it shouldn't be too hard to port
15:20:11olegfinkso first write one, make sure it runs on all your devices with reasonable parse time, then we'll speak about how good xml is.
15:21:51linuxstbAnother problem is available RAM - a Rockbox plugin only has access to between 32KB (on low memory targets) to 512KB (on most targets) without stopping audio playback. And accessing the hard disk uses power, so you would need to minimise disk access.

15:36:54janne_oksanenI have a brand new 80GB 5.5th gen here
15:37:06janne_oksanenand I'm having trouble installing the bootloader
15:37:23janne_oksanenit says "ipod can't be opened" or something like that
15:37:34janne_oksanenany idea as to what I'm doing wrong?
15:37:51JdGordonrun as root or admin
15:37:59janne_oksanenoh right
15:38:05janne_oksanenthanks
15:38:12linuxstbAlso, it it definitely a 5.5th gen, and not a "Classic" ?

15:39:29LambdaCalculus37Is it a thin iPod, or a little fatter?
15:39:47janne_oksanenpretty fat
15:39:57janne_oksanen13mm maybe

15:54:02janne_oksanenah I see
15:54:06janne_oksanenI wan't saying that
15:54:15B4gderso the "crapping out" was more likely due to something else
15:54:44janne_oksanenwhat I meant is that my crappy motherboard can't handle me charging the ipod and using the USB hard drive at the same time
15:55:23B4gderbut is this the first time you charge your ipod over usb then?

16:53:52olegfinkwell, the thing about rockbox is that I have the source.
16:54:57olegfinksomeone here said about 32K limit for application memory. Is that a hard limit imposed by rockbox or just an experimental fact?
16:55:00markunolegfink: maybe with the help of the rockbox reverse engineering you could post mips linux to the onda, but then again, maybe it's easier to buy a linux based DAP.

16:55:53linuxstbolegfink: 32KB is for the lowmem targets. Most targets have 512KB. That's an arbitrary limit (can be changed easily per-target), but Rockbox is designed to maximum the space available for buffering audio.

19:43:44amiconnThe filesystem currently limts accesses to 256 sectors - for *all* targets
19:44:10amiconnThis code could be thrown out if the ata driver is extended to handle arbitrary sector counts

20:02:46bill2or3ata_spinup sounds vaguely related to a possible reason my H300 won't boot. (unless I go into USB Bootloader mode first)

20:14:11amiconnI would like to see the ability to specify how many volumes per drive to mount independently of how many drives to support
20:14:32gevaertsWe do want that, yes
20:15:05amiconnRight now, these values are combined. On Ondio we support 2 volumes, in order to make the MMC accessible
20:15:42amiconnBut if someone makes 2 partitions on the internal flash, the MMC would no longer be mounted on plug-in (due to no free volume descripotrs)
20:17:19janne_oksanengevaerts: there we go, thanks
20:17:24gevaertsIt's always easy to say "don't do that, then", but the same problem exists on the hotswappable cards, and there saying that gets a bit harder

20:18:11gevaertsThat's true, but it's still annoying
20:18:54*gevaerts thinks that if we ever do usb host, we will have to make sure that this code is really clean before even starting
20:19:27amiconnThe typical case *is* just one volume per drive, and that's what we should try to mount in the official builds. But we should allow for special cases, and rockbox shouldn't mount 2 partitions of drive 0 and then have no more free descriptors for drive 1

20:36:52gevaerts(except HAVE_ATA_POWER_OFF, which I don't believe)
20:37:04*n1s feels a bit guilty since he introduced HAVE_FLASH_STORAGE...
20:39:26gevaertsActually it makes some sense in a single-drive world. However, I think we need to either get rid of most of them, or replace them by something like HAVE_SLOW_ACCESSTIME
20:40:11gevaertsOr HAVE_DISK_STORAGE
20:40:37*gevaerts guesses that when n1s added them, disk targets were still the majority
20:40:52n1salthough when i introuduced it, all it did was disable the disk spindown and anti-skip buffer options on flash based targets
20:42:20*n1s isn't sure wht the problem is...
20:43:58gevaertsThe main problem is (a), which is my fault (usb_storage.c). A smaller, possibly irrelevant problem is that a target may have both flash and disk, and #ifndef HAVE_FLASH_STORAGE will disable stuff that should stay

21:01:03mcuelenaerehmme /me doesn't know where he got that HAS_BUTTON_HOLD
21:01:15mcuelenaereI must've copied it from somewhere
21:01:19*bluebrother would like to see a full index too
21:01:19MarcGuaybluebrother: Shows how much I know about my native tongue, you're right about appendix/index.
21:01:41mcuelenaeregevaerts: what gives if you do a grep -R HAS_BUTTON_HOLD on config-* ?
21:01:49mcuelenaere(haven't started my Linux vm up yet)
21:01:53MarcGuayAn index could be useful, but imagine the work involved. I think the links to relatedl sections are good enough.
21:02:02gevaertsmcuelenaere: only your targets
21:02:02n1sI think the define HAS_BUTTON_HOLD is the one we use for hold
21:02:20*Strife89 would just like to see a .txt manual that can be read on the device. :)
21:02:37pixelmagevaerts: I believe that define was called this way for a long time, something, as n1s said...
21:03:01MarcGuayStrife89: Take a look at the text bible that someone made. Something similar could be useful.
21:03:29mcuelenaeregevaerts: backlight.c:#ifdef HAS_BUTTON_HOLD
21:03:38Strife89MarcGuay: Was that in the Wiki or the forums?
21:03:45n1sgevaerts: other targets have it in their button-target.h file in the target tree

22:10:06denesgevaerts: so with the clock settings on, a delay after turning the backlight on, and doubled (or trippled) lcd_sleep - so then the backlight turns on, but there is no visible change on the lcd?
22:10:31gevaertsdenes: looks like it. I went to 4x.
22:11:00denesgevaerts: good. and what happens if you only run lcd_init - so not clearing the screen etc.
22:11:02gevaertsdenes: Now that I can print text, I can print the default clock settings
22:11:20denesgevaerts: there should be garbage then if the init itself works - maybe only the screendrawing part is broken?
22:11:41gevaertsSo just remove lcd_update()?
22:11:59denesgevaerts: yes
22:12:14denesgevaerts: is the lcd_type forced to 0?
22:12:25gevaertsNot anymore
22:12:39*Strife89 looks at the APE Wiki page.
22:12:53denesgevaerts: well it doesn't matter if it's 0 - question is, is it set to 0, or is it misdetected
22:12:59gevaertsdenes: you were right. Garbage

22:13:55gevaertsyes
22:13:59Strife89bertrik: It bothers you too, then?
22:14:07denesgevaerts: that's great, I am happy
22:14:17Strife89I definitely prefer a percentage (number).
22:14:37*gevaerts thinks that it takes a special sort of person to be happy about seeing garbage :)
22:14:47denesgevaerts: so if you put everything the way it is in the patch, BUT uncomment lcd_update, you see garbage again?
22:16:05bertrikStrife89, it doesn't really bother me too much, but I prefer one that simply fills up from left to right proportionally to progress.
22:16:06denesgevaerts: because then the next step is to IMHO to change the lcd_sleep(1) in lcd_update to something big, like lcd_sleep(200) - and then you can should be able to see on the display as it is drawn

22:37:19denesgevaerts: to see if it draws something on the screen maybe
22:37:37gevaertsIt obviously needs more, as the init doesn't work when I do set the clock. I must have done something wrong earlier

23:09:48bluebrotherStrife89: you have lynx installed? Also, you need htlatex too ...
23:10:00bluebrotherwhat target you want to build?
23:10:09Strife89bluebrother: I don't have lynx installed.
23:10:17Strife89bluebrother: Target=c200
23:10:41bluebrotherah no, it's links.
23:10:45Dhraakellianhmm
23:10:56Strife89bluebrother: No links either. :)
23:11:02Dhraakellianjust did a battery test with 3.0 on my e260

23:13:08bluebrotherhmm. There seems to be an issue with creating feature.tex when not building the pdf
23:13:21bluebrotherat least it seems it doesn't work for the first run. :/
23:13:38Strife89bluebrother: Second run worked as far as the PDF went.
23:13:56Dhraakellianthen again, looking at the Time Left estimates at 100%, this one appears to have been closer
23:14:10Strife89bluebrother: "links is already the newest version."
23:15:11bluebrotherStrife89: you might want to check if building the pdf works.
23:15:29*bluebrother needs to check for features.txt when building the html manual
23:15:45Strife89bluebrother: I did.

23:17:51bluebrotherso, running "make manual-html" and / or "make manual-txt" runs?
23:18:27Strife89The latter does, but I don't get a "final output" and I saw a TON of errors (I believe).
23:18:38bluebrotherthe txt version needs the html first, and that in turn requires htlatex

23:18:59bluebrotherthere will be loads of notices on stdout. The result will get placed in a subfolder "txt"
23:19:14Dhraakellianwould I be right in surmising that Rockbox should now have drastically better battery life than the SanDisk firmware with equivalent mp3?
23:19:15bluebrother(it's not a single file −− it's split up in chapters)
23:19:17Strife89bluebrother: Bah, I haven't built the HTML yet.
23:19:40Strife89bluebrother: Also, I see the folder, with the split files. They're all 0 bytes at the moment.
23:19:53bluebrotheryou don't need to build the html first as make will do that. But it's one step less so you can check if that works
23:20:18*Strife89 runs "make manual-html"

23:23:39*Dhraakellian goes to add the results of his test to the SansaRuntime page
23:24:23denesgevaerts: cool
23:24:37gevaertsdenes: as you see, the colours need some work :)
23:24:56denesgevaerts: but is it a driver problem?
23:25:55gevaertsEither driver or some define somewhere that says how the colours should look
23:26:21peturyes, might be the pixel packing
23:26:41Strife89bluebrother: Now running "make manual-txt".
23:26:51denesgevaerts: i see
23:27:06gevaertsAnyway the driver still needs a lot of work, and we still need to decide if it's worth it going to full 24 bit, so I won't worry about it now
23:27:22gevaertsIt's more than good enough for debug output :)
23:28:09gevaertsdenes: this is still with the default clock
23:31:06denesgevaerts: I am positive with correct timing it should work at 200MHz too in the future
23:31:39gevaertsdenes: of course. I think we want real timings though, not guessed numbers.
23:32:06gevaertsSo we need to find out which lcd controller this is, so we can get the datasheet
23:32:28denesgevaerts: the numbers are not guessed, it's either 10000 1000 or 15000 in the OF - the question is what metric
23:32:41gevaertsExactly :)
23:32:47Dhraakellianmethinks the battery on this one might not be quite as good as the one in the e200 that got RMA'd because of the headphone jack
23:33:58*gevaerts wonders how much more than 100% a codec needs on a full-speed beast (532MHz) to be realtime
23:34:28 Quit ompaul (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
23:34:52denesgevaerts: but I think getting rockbox to work on the m3 is first priority, it's even before prettyfying the driver - for me at least. also, for accurate timing the timer should be used instead of busy loops - I don't know if there is such functionaility in rockbox

23:35:46gevaertsFor init a busy loop could be OK. For the update loop, I think we're missing a ready bit, or an interrupt.

23:36:12DhraakellianWhat's the best way to time the OF? hook it up to Audacity, hit record, and boot up the DAP?
23:36:12denesgevaerts: the update shouldn't be a loop in the first place, but should be done through DMA - that's how OF does it
23:36:21gevaertsThat too :)
23:36:24denesgevaerts: but I think this driver will doo for now
23:37:20gevaertsIt's more than good enough to continue working. Once vitja has the usb driver for tcc mostly working, I'll get busy making it work on meizu
23:37:35denesgevaerts: sounds good :)
23:37:50Strife89bluebrother: Bah, it's still not working here. I won't worry about it any more for now; I'm going to go eat. :)
23:37:59Strife89bluebrother: Thanks, though. :)
23:38:09gevaertsAnd once we have usb and lcd, we're done. Who needs more than a remote controllable display anyway ;)
23:38:12denesgevaerts: I think I will try to write the "bootloader". I mean the part that initializes the memory controller, and such stuff
