| 00:02:29 | amiconn | Coldfire can do 16MB dma transfer (24 bit). PP does no DMA at all, it uses the arm FIQ and cpu transfers |
| 00:02:36 | domonoky | and about 16k samples is probably too less to hear any sound.. |
| 00:03:01 | gevaerts | That's 0.3 seconds or so. I'd think you'd hear that |
| 00:03:20 | domonoky | the dma controller has only 11bit for the transfer size.. |
| 00:03:30 | amiconn | Only if you have a track that doesn't start with silence |
| 00:03:41 | amiconn | (or near-silence) |
| 00:04:22 | * | domonoky test at moment with metronome (other problems with codes exists).. and a metronome tock probably starts with silence :-) |
| 00:04:39 | bertrik | can we trigger an interrupt at the end of the dma transfer to setup the next dma? |
| 00:04:45 | amiconn | That I don't think... the whole tock is quite short |
| 00:05:36 | domonoky | bertrik: yes, there is a interrupt at the end of dma transfer, thats how we wakup the sd-code after a dma-tranfer. |
| 00:05:44 | gevaerts | domonoky: are you sure it tries to play? metronome has its issues |
| 00:06:03 | domonoky | and how i know that dma ends before the fifo says its empty.. |
| 00:06:42 | bertrik | I thought there were half-full and almost-empty interrupts |
| 00:06:47 | domonoky | gevaerts: yes, i put a "play_tock()" at the beginning... and i am debuging the/my pcm code, so i know its called. |
| 00:07:06 | domonoky | bertrik: i2sout also has interrupts.. |
| 00:07:37 | domonoky | i check the i2sout interrupts to see if it really transfers something... and it does now :-) |
| 00:12:50 | | Quit massiveH ("Leaving") |
| 00:14:15 | domonoky | maybe we should use the scatter/gather feature of the dma controller, then we would have to provide a linked-list of prepared dmac registers, but we would probably have unlimited transfer size. |
| 00:14:45 | * | bertrik spots a wiki edit by funman, where he claims charging support for sansa v2 |
| 00:25:04 | gevaerts | amiconn: http://pastebin.ca/1269807 |
| 00:25:49 | | Quit bimbel ("Woah!") |
| 00:26:05 | gevaerts | I rechecked the r19248 c1000 result as well, and it is correct |
| 00:26:12 | amiconn | So this is indeed faster, even more than I thought... |
| 00:26:30 | amiconn | Did you check whether it actually sounds correct? |
| 00:26:57 | gevaerts | no. I'll do that now |
| 00:26:58 | amiconn | Bugs in this code are usually easy to notice - one little mistake, and all you get is white noise... |
| 00:27:48 | * | amiconn wonders why the -c1000 speed changes though |
| 00:28:08 | amiconn | Caching effects, perhaps |
| 00:34:13 | * | gevaerts doesn't hear anything at all... |
| 00:34:18 | | Quit domonoky (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) |
| 00:34:31 | amiconn | oh? |
| 00:34:45 | * | amiconn should test that code on the beast... |
| 00:35:05 | pixelma | gevaerts: do you hear something with other codecs, remember reading something in the d2 port thread |
| 00:35:16 | gevaerts | pixelma: trying that now |
| 00:35:41 | pixelma | http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=10164.msg139842#msg139842 |
| 00:38:22 | * | gevaerts tries that |
| 00:41:04 | gevaerts | That helps |
| 00:41:37 | gevaerts | amiconn: it sounds correct at all compression levels (although -c4000 and -c5000 obviously skip a bit) |
| 00:41:54 | amiconn | thanks for testing |

| 01:31:53 | Frosty | i used the sansa video converter |
| 01:31:55 | Frosty | was i supposed to? |
| 01:31:57 | Llorean | No. |
| 01:32:06 | advcomp2019 | shatness, there is no rockbox for the archos 7 |
| 01:32:25 | shatness | can u point me in the right direction for archos people |
| 01:32:27 | Strife89 | advcomp2019: They also have to be the size of the display. |
| 01:32:35 | shatness | i need some help and thought this was part of it |
| 01:32:40 | Llorean | shatness: What exactly are you asking? |
| 01:32:40 | shatness | my mistake |
| 01:32:45 | advcomp2019 | Frosty, so you have not read the manual then |
| 01:32:47 | Strife89 | Frosty: Try WinFF, works like a charm. |
| 01:32:50 | Llorean | shatness: Are you trying to port Rockobx? |
| 01:33:01 | Frosty | yes i have |
| 01:33:03 | Unhelpful | shatness: if you're looking to help develop rockbox for the archos 7, you're in the right place... |
| 01:33:06 | Frosty | what is WinFF |
| 01:33:14 | shatness | I am seeing if anyone has had any experience with cracking the bootloader for an Archos but i think im in the wrong place |
| 01:33:23 | Unhelpful | if you're looking for rockbox for archos 7, ready to use, we don't have it. |
| 01:33:27 | advcomp2019 | Frosty, if you have, the video info is there to |
| 01:33:33 | Strife89 | Frosty: http://code.google.com/p/winff/ |
| 01:34:12 | shatness | so does anyone know of a good irc chan for archos fans |
| 01:34:23 | Frosty | i have AVI videos and WMP videos |
| 01:34:34 | Frosty | both dont show up when i go to the file that theyre supposed to be in |
| 01:34:46 | Llorean | Frosty: You need to convert them. The PluginMpegplayer page on the Rockbox wiki gives more information if the info in the manual isn't enough. |
| 01:34:51 | | Quit bertrik ("Leaving") |
| 01:35:07 | Unhelpful | Frosty: you *must* convert them to mpeg1/2 format to play them on rockbox |

| 01:36:14 | Frosty | can you give me a link or two? |
| 01:36:16 | Frosty | tnks.... |

| 01:58:10 | spartan | he has the backdrop working |
| 01:58:17 | spartan | but doesnt remember how he got it to work |
| 01:58:25 | Llorean | We told him to read the manual. |
| 01:58:28 | Llorean | You might try that too. |
| 01:58:34 | spartan | what manual? |
| 01:58:48 | spartan | nvm |
| 01:59:03 | Llorean | Please, try to use real English in here, as per the channel guidelines, and not things like "nvm" or "sup" |
| 01:59:10 | spartan | k |
| 01:59:13 | spartan | sorry |

| 02:00:27 | Llorean | spartan: Try reading the wiki page you were referenced to by several of us. |
| 02:00:35 | advcomp2019 | did you use the wiki page? |
| 02:00:44 | spartan | my brother just got on dude |
| 02:01:02 | spartan | yes, i did |
| 02:01:05 | spartan | no help |

| 02:01:15 | Llorean | spartan: Which method on the wiki page did you use? |
| 02:01:30 | saratoga | i bet you'd get some improvement in battery life on those too |
| 02:01:43 | spartan | cant remember |
| 02:01:44 | spartan | sorry |
| 02:01:56 | | Part pixelma |
| 02:01:57 | Llorean | saratoga: Wasn't part of it committed? |
| 02:02:11 | Llorean | spartan: Well, we can't help you if you don't know what you've done and what you haven't. |
| 02:02:16 | spartan | ok, so how do i get the backdrop to work |
| 02:02:21 | saratoga | Llorean: yeah I commited the Sansa specific stuff, but not the PP PLL changes |
| 02:02:29 | Llorean | spartan: Okay, stop asking the same questions over and over. |
| 02:02:31 | spartan | thats all im really trying to do |
| 02:02:58 | Llorean | spartan: Read the documentation, and do what it says. When you run into a problem, tell us at what step in the instructions you're at, and what error you're encountering. |
| 02:03:00 | spartan | i have read the manual twice now |
| 02:03:01 | Llorean | Don't try to guess what to do. |
| 02:03:09 | saratoga | i didn't realize Toni had SVN access, so i'm just going to let him commit whenever he likes |
| 02:03:10 | spartan | this is what i have done |
| 02:03:27 | saratoga | spartan: well you certainly haven't told us what you did |
| 02:03:33 | saratoga | so i wouldn't say you've done that |
| 02:03:35 | spartan | 1)put BMP file in backdrop file |
| 02:03:39 | Llorean | saratoga: Ah. How much power does the PLL alone save? |
| 02:03:53 | spartan | 2) "set as backdrop" |
| 02:03:58 | saratoga | Llorean: Toni says 2mA on his Sansa |
| 02:04:07 | spartan | except i cannot find the file that is in the "backdrop" file |
| 02:04:15 | spartan | so i use a copy of the picture |
| 02:04:23 | spartan | in the "photo" file |
| 02:04:26 | Llorean | Well that's why it's not saving. |
| 02:04:36 | spartan | so how do i find the "backdrop" fonder |
| 02:04:41 | spartan | folder* |
| 02:04:46 | Llorean | Change the file view mode to show all files, then browse to it. |
| 02:04:58 | spartan | how |
| 02:05:01 | Llorean | In the manual. |
| 02:05:32 | kugel | saratoga: I believe someone reported ~16% (wasn't a proper battery bench though) |
| 02:05:39 | spartan | thank you |
| 02:05:44 | spartan | now to the video problem |
| 02:06:23 | | Quit miepchen^schlaf () |
| 02:06:37 | saratoga | Llorean: also, Toni made the patch for PP5022 and 5024 only, but it might also work on the PP5020, so its probably worth pulling out that ifdef and seeing if it works on those targets |

| 02:06:39 | Llorean | saratoga: If that's true on all applicable PP targets, it should push us to fairly consistently match/pass the OF on them with that? |
| 02:06:39 | | Quit herrwaldo ("Konversation terminated!") |
| 02:06:52 | saratoga | yeah probably |
| 02:07:13 | saratoga | i think we're probably already way past what the OF on the Sansa gets, though thats mostly because they seemed to have wasted a lot of power |
| 02:07:29 | saratoga | they somehow found an mp3 player as slow as ours |
| 02:07:33 | Llorean | With MP3 we certainly are. |
| 02:07:43 | saratoga | mp3 decoder rather |
| 02:08:04 | Llorean | Since we were about on-par with the OF when MP3 was single-core. |
| 02:08:17 | saratoga | yeah |
| 02:08:34 | saratoga | if Toni is right I guess we're probably around 26+ hours on the Sansa with a new battery at least |
| 02:08:48 | Llorean | Wow. |
| 02:08:54 | * | Llorean should order up a new battery |
| 02:09:09 | saratoga | though thats with the PLL changes |
| 02:09:09 | Llorean | I assume the V2s use the same battery as the V1s, is this a safe assumption? |
| 02:09:16 | spartan | Llorean, can you walk me through how to "convert" and "play" videos without telling me to go read a section in the manual that will not help me |
| 02:09:22 | saratoga | LLorean: yeah I think so |
| 02:09:28 | saratoga | spartan: no |
| 02:09:40 | Llorean | spartan: How about you go and try to do it, and if you get stuck, ask us questions about the part you're stuck on. |

| 02:11:17 | spartan | am i right? |
| 02:11:33 | Llorean | spartan: It says this in no uncertain terms on the wiki page, so yes. |
| 02:12:10 | saratoga | kugel: [for the logs] I've noticed booting on the Fuze seems to fail on some bootloader builds for no obvious reason |
| 02:12:15 | saratoga | i wonder if you've noticed this |
| 02:12:20 | spartan | can you give me the "wiki" page |
| 02:12:21 | kugel | heh |
| 02:12:24 | spartan | thanks |
| 02:12:31 | saratoga | oh didn't expect you to be up at this hour |
| 02:12:53 | kugel | 2AM, not too late for weekend :p |
| 02:12:57 | saratoga | anyway sometimes I'll add a printf or whatever and that will cause the fuze to not boot anymore, then i'll add something slightly different and it will work |
| 02:13:20 | spartan | are there any other formats than mpeg that the video can be played in |
| 02:13:30 | saratoga | nope |
| 02:13:40 | spartan | wow |
| 02:13:41 | spartan | k |
| 02:13:45 | kugel | saratoga: I use a pre-r19234 svn bootloader, which is pretty stable |
| 02:13:57 | saratoga | kugel: also did funman ever mention what he thought the Clip V2 used as the CPU? |
| 02:14:46 | spartan | anyone out there? |
| 02:14:52 | kugel | No. I think we still assume the same as3525 soc, due to many many similarities in the OF (he took a look at it) |
| 02:14:55 | spartan | are you still there? |
| 02:15:07 | saratoga | spartan: theres like a hundred people here |
| 02:15:11 | Llorean | spartan: You've been told the name of the wiki page several times, and it's even linked to in the manual. |
| 02:15:28 | saratoga | kugel: I thought someone mentioned it was based on a slightly different AMS part |
| 02:15:35 | Llorean | spartan: At this point, we're finding it somewhat unbelievable that you've even *tried* reading the manual. |
| 02:15:36 | saratoga | though i could be wrong |
| 02:15:39 | spartan | i was just making a reference to portal |
| 02:15:44 | kugel | I could be wrong as well |
| 02:15:51 | spartan | guess no one on here plays games |
| 02:15:57 | saratoga | ugh |
| 02:16:05 | Llorean | spartan: This is an on-topic channel. That means "please be quiet unless you're developing Rockbox or asking support questions." |
| 02:16:47 | Llorean | there are channel guidelines that are linked to in the channel topic. Please, be aware that you're expected to follow them whether or not you had the courtesy to actually read them. |
| 02:17:03 | saratoga | kugel: ah found something by funman speculating it might be AS3530 based |
| 02:17:35 | saratoga | which would be cool, since its got ARMv5, more IRAM and I think its die shrunk since the power consumption looks a good bit lower too |
| 02:17:39 | spartan | quick question that isnt in the manual |
| 02:18:00 | spartan | are there any websites that support rockbox and have any games? |
| 02:18:23 | Llorean | You can't really provide games without providing whole versions of Rockbox. |
| 02:18:35 | | Quit esthar ("KVIrc 3.4.0 Virgo http://www.kvirc.net/") |
| 02:18:36 | Llorean | And no, we don't know of any sites like that. |
| 02:18:46 | kugel | saratoga: possibly, but the clip is a top seller, I wonder why they should go for a more powerful design, given that the display and other features iirc did't change |
| 02:19:20 | Llorean | kugel: They upgraded the m200 to a SoC much more powerful than it needs too, didn't they? |
| 02:19:32 | kugel | I thought they just gave it more ram (like 8MB) since the firmware filesize is also 15MB like for the fuze/e200v2 |
| 02:20:04 | saratoga | kugel: maybe they're moving everything over to the new chips? |
| 02:20:21 | spartan | thanks and peace out everyone |

| 02:20:25 | kugel | Llorean: I don't know about the performance about the tcc chips, so possibly yes. I haven't said it's very unlikely |
| 02:21:15 | kugel | saratoga: the v2s are a new product line though, which replaced a 2year old one, the clipv2 isn't |
| 02:21:21 | saratoga | the 3530 would be good for a View style player, so maybe we'll get a View V2 soon |
| 02:21:31 | saratoga | the e200V2 wasn't a new product line |
| 02:21:44 | kugel | well, e200v2 is a refresh indeed, but I think that's mainly a ams one because they can share manufactoring etc |
| 02:21:55 | saratoga | it was basically the same as what they did with the Clipv2 |
| 02:21:57 | saratoga | and the c200v2 |

| 02:22:32 | kugel | uhm, as I sad, I could be wrong as well :) |
| 02:22:37 | Llorean | Maybe we'll see e200/c200v3 soon. |
| 02:22:45 | Llorean | Actually, I doubt it. |
| 02:22:53 | Llorean | It kinda looks like they're on the verge of cutting them off completely |
| 02:22:58 | kugel | a fuzev2 is more likely I think |
| 02:22:58 | saratoga | yeah they'll probably just cancel them |
| 02:24:28 | Llorean | Their page suggests the only Sansas they care about now are the Fuze, View, Clip and the "slotMusic" player thingy |
| 02:25:45 | saratoga | so are we hoping on having album art resizing for 3.1? |
| 02:27:15 | Llorean | I was hoping on having it for 3.0, personally. |
| 02:27:51 | Llorean | But if we are gonna have it, it'd be nice to get it in during the next week or so, so it has a little shakedown time before the freeze. |
| 02:28:24 | saratoga | memory use seems way down, but i wonder if its low enough for everyone's taste? |
| 02:28:39 | Unhelpful | i just addressed the last bug idak found. i'm not sure how it never hit me, i think larger target sizes made the off-by-one error i found round away |
| 02:28:49 | Llorean | saratoga: Well, we all accept there's gonna be *some* memory hit. |
| 02:28:49 | Bensawsome | Llorean rockbox gonna stop support for the e200? :( |
| 02:28:58 | Llorean | Bensawsome: No. Sandisk is probably going to. |
| 02:29:07 | saratoga | i think sandisk already did |
| 02:29:13 | Bensawsome | oh thank goodness :) i couldnt live without rockbox |
| 02:29:16 | saratoga | Unhelpful: so how close is it to ready? |
| 02:29:24 | Llorean | saratoga: And as long as the framework is in place, we can probably swap out scaling algorithms if we really feel the size is an issue. |
| 02:30:19 | saratoga | it'd be really nice if we could get it in for 3.1 |
| 02:30:24 | *** | Alert Mode OFF |
| 02:30:38 | saratoga | might motivate people to start working on a JPEG decoder, which if resizing is any indication, should take about 3 years or so |
| 02:30:46 | saratoga | we'll have it ready in time for 3.17 |
| 02:31:22 | | Join esthar [0] (n=esthar@student166-183.hampshire.edu) |
| 02:31:54 | Unhelpful | saratoga: the only "readiness" question i have left is binsize, and the biggest binsize and ram hit is on the color targets, since the b/w targets use only the nearest-neighbor scaler. |
| 02:32:14 | saratoga | Unhelpful: whats the memory hit like on the BW targets? negligable right? |
| 02:32:36 | Llorean | I can't imagine we'd be using it on true B&W (non-Grayscale) targets, would we? |
| 02:33:03 | saratoga | probably not, but theres still the framework and buffering stuff which probably adds some memory |
| 02:33:06 | Unhelpful | Llorean: no, but there are changes to the bmp reader core as well, and there will be some change on mono targets |
| 02:33:44 | saratoga | obviously its important that mono targets have as small an effect as possible, since many of them are extremely memory limited |
| 02:33:45 | Llorean | The important question is, how small of an impact can you make it have on the true mono targets since those are the ones where RAM is really, really essential for battery life. |
| 02:34:15 | saratoga | the X5 too is probably important since I think thats only got 16GB and of course a color target |
| 02:34:29 | saratoga | sorry 16MB |
| 02:34:56 | Llorean | We have a few 16MB Grayscale targets too. |
| 02:35:15 | Llorean | But isn't the whole memory hit less than 15k? |
| 02:35:37 | Unhelpful | Llorean: only the color scaler adds any new static buffers. everything else goes on stack... so the hit on a mono target is roughly the cost of the code complexity in the chunked reader. |
| 02:36:09 | Llorean | Unhelpful: Is there an ifdef for album art? |
| 02:36:21 | Llorean | Is it possible to use the old code if album art isn't enabled? |
| 02:39:51 | Unhelpful | at present, no, there isn't. the chunked reader itself is quite likely not a good idea to try to ifdef, since we'd have to maintain two copies of the bmp reader. i could certainly add the direct-output code back, and have it ifdef'd for selection if album art is disabled. |
| 02:40:40 | Unhelpful | right now, *all* bmp reads on greyscale go through the NN scaler. mono targets get direct output in bmp.c, because there's no scaler built for them, and color does because its scaler is full of multiplies. |
| 02:41:20 | saratoga | Unhelpful: I think people will complain if we try to commit resizing without a define in the target config files that allows one to get the mono target case |
| 02:41:56 | saratoga | and anyway it might be handy if we ever get a seriously memory limited grayscale target or something |
| 02:42:42 | kugel | saratoga: did you already try a pre-r19234 bootloader? |
| 02:42:48 | Unhelpful | should it be ifdef'd for album art, though, or a new ifdef for the scaler itself? right now, anything that wants to ask for scaled bitmaps can. |

| 02:45:01 | saratoga | kugel: yeah I already had an older SVN checkout handy, using the current one doesn't work at all |
| 02:45:12 | Unhelpful | saratoga: if i'm understanding correctly, you think there will be people who demand the scaler on mono? |
| 02:45:35 | saratoga | UNhelpful: no i think there will be people who think the memory use isn't justified and want to reclaim it |
| 02:45:46 | saratoga | or as much of it as possible at any rate |
| 02:46:22 | saratoga | i guess these people should just get nearest neighbor or even a truncated bmp |
| 02:46:38 | Unhelpful | saratoga: mono targets get a minimally-adapted direct-output case. the only memory hit is a few more lines of code to test if the chunk buffer is empty, and call to refill it. |
| 02:46:48 | saratoga | i'm sure thats fine |
| 02:47:11 | saratoga | but someone will complain that 15KB is too much on some color target, so there should be a way to reclaim most of that |
| 02:47:40 | Unhelpful | i didn't think i was using so much? let me check again. |
| 02:48:34 | saratoga | oh maybe i'm remembering an old version of the patch |
| 02:50:20 | kugel | saratoga: Then funman really broke it with his commit |
| 02:50:37 | Unhelpful | saratoga: the old version of the patch had an unscaled bmp line cache. that is gone. what we have now are two screen-width static buffers of uint32_rgb, so about 5KiB of static buffer increase on 240px-wide displays |
| 02:51:10 | saratoga | thats not bad |
| 02:51:14 | Unhelpful | the line buffers will need to go from LCD_WIDTH to MAX(LCD_WIDTH,LCD_HEIGHT) if we ever need to handle a rotated format |
| 02:51:32 | kugel | what happened to partial line processing? |
| 02:52:20 | Unhelpful | kugel: that is there, but that's only on input. the scalers require whole-line buffers in the output size. i've yet to find a reasonable way around it, unless they are allowed to seek arbitrarily in the input file. |
| 02:52:49 | Unhelpful | the input buffer is 8 * uint8_rgb, and is on the stack |
| 02:53:18 | kugel | Unhelpful: can't you use the buffer that was always there for output? |
| 02:53:50 | kugel | the old read_bmp allocated the amount needed, afairc |
| 02:54:47 | kugel | if there's a new output buffer, what happened to the old one? |
| 02:54:48 | Unhelpful | kugel: not really, unless the reader is passed a buffer that is guaranteed to have more space than needed for the final output |
| 02:56:22 | kugel | Unhelpful: I think there was two function, the 1 returned the buffer size needed, the other did the reading |
| 02:57:49 | Unhelpful | kugel: i could do that, certainly... but if the scaler *is* to be used outside of a plugin or AA context, where does that buffer come from? |
| 03:00 |
| 03:00:54 | kugel | Unhelpful: well, one that's smaller then the one you made. It'll not be needed for big stuff. If it's not enough, I think it's reasonable to steal from audio buffer (with stopping playback if necessarily) |
| 03:02:07 | kugel | but well, 5KiB ain't bad, so |
| 03:02:39 | Unhelpful | kugel: that's on a color target, with a 240px wide screen. mono targets and grey targets get no new static buffers. |
| 03:02:40 | kugel | and it'll be less on targets with lowmem since they have generally not 240px wide screens |
| 03:03:15 | Unhelpful | i'm running some builds on mrobe now to see what the binsizes look like on a mono target (i don't have a coldfire toolchain) |

| 10:28:16 | * | amiconn thought a bit about the dualcore split of the ape decoder |
| 10:28:30 | amiconn | It seems some infrastructural rework in libdemac is needed for that |
| 10:29:56 | Unhelpful | ugh, yes, grep and wc tell me i've much to do in resize.c for <=80cols |
| 10:30:39 | amiconn | A frame is decoded in several chunks, and the various decoding stages need to be initialized at the start of a frame. But for dualcore, the filter and predictor are delayed, so they must not be reinitialized immediately |
| 10:31:33 | amiconn | They also need the old context info, and chunk length |
| 10:32:55 | amiconn | I'm not sure whether the simple semaphore approach might work here (need to read up on semaphores), as the communication between the threads needs some more details than just flags |

| 11:56:45 | n1s | Unrelated, i was thinking that on players that need to use 44.1kHz in the midi player we could use sample doubling to gain some speed or some crude interpolation maybe, would this sound worse than playing at 22kHz? |

| 12:02:20 | Unhelpful | n1s: we have that as an option? i thought rockbox didn't handle output frequency switching? |
| 12:03:05 | n1s | Unhelpful: some players can do 22kHz out, but not all, however our playback system can not deal with frequencies other than 44.1kHz |
| 12:03:56 | n1s | so the players that can, use 22kHz in the midi plugin, it sounds a bit worse but gives enough speed gain to have more instruments playing... |
| 12:04:01 | Unhelpful | but if a plugin stops codec playback, it can change the playback rate of the hardware? |
| 12:04:07 | n1s | yes |
| 12:04:28 | n1s | if it's implemented in that players' dac driver |
| 12:05:34 | n1s | the define HW_SAMPR_CAPS in firmware/export/config-*.h tells which samplerates are supported on which target if you are interested |
| 12:05:35 | Unhelpful | i understand now... i'd expect that zero-order-hold filtering the 22KHz up to 44.1KHz would be worse than playing at 22KHz, but i suspect you'll need to try it to find out. |

| 15:31:55 | domonoky | but i still have no sound, and i detected another problem: pcm_play_dma_start requests bigger sizes then we can set in the dmac.. |

| 15:40:29 | funman | fifo pop error .. |
| 15:41:25 | domonoky | you get a fifo pop error, when the fifo is run out of data. try put a panic into the dma_interrupt handler... |
| 15:41:52 | domonoky | you will probably see, that the dma-terminal interrupt comes before the fifo pop-error. |
| 15:42:45 | domonoky | you may also get a pop-error in the bigging of the transfer, when the m_clock is enabled, before we have written to the fifo. |
| 15:49:35 | funman | for me it seems the fifo is never filled |
| 15:50:46 | funman | perhaps the lcd operation in the isr is too slow |

| 16:02:46 | domonoky | hm, also without the CGU_AUDIO the fifo should fill-up till "fifo-halffull" or atleast "fifo_almost empty" but without the mclock it will stay there and give you many,many,many interrupts :-) |
| 16:03:44 | funman | I wonder if we should manually start transfers at each i2sout interrupt on status fifo * empty |
| 16:04:36 | domonoky | funman: you mean transfer data without the dma ? |
| 16:04:59 | funman | no i meant with it |
| 16:05:21 | funman | I don't understand how the DMAC knows about the status of i2sout's fifo |
| 16:05:22 | domonoky | ah, setup a new transfer on fifo-empty ? could work.. |
| 16:05:49 | funman | but if i understand well the fifo is 4 * 32 bits word |
| 16:05:53 | funman | so no need to use dma :/ |
| 16:06:04 | domonoky | funman: the i2sout fifo requests dma-transfers via the dma_request line, when the fifo runs empty.. |
| 16:06:45 | funman | ah ok |
| 16:07:05 | funman | i'll try transfers without dma so at least we know when i2sout / audio settings are ok ;) |
| 16:08:11 | domonoky | yes, manula transfers might be a good way to get this running. i think ipods also dont use dma. |
| 16:09:03 | domonoky | i also made a short attempt with manual transfers, but i could not get the fifo to fill up, while dma seemd to work for me.. (that was before i found the CGU_AUDIO thing). |
| 16:09:23 | funman | i did the same, let's try again with the i2so_mclk clock running |
| 16:10:48 | domonoky | i am also not sure, how fast we should set the is2_out m_clock, there is a mention of 30mhz max, and it might also have something todo with this oversampling setting.. |
| 16:11:15 | * | funman looks again at OF |

| 16:12:24 | | Quit faemir (Remote closed the connection) |
| 16:14:25 | domonoky | so its running way to fast for me.. |
| 16:14:52 | funman | OF uses 5644800 Hz (not sure if it's variable yet) |
| 16:15:05 | bertrik | it's 128 times the desired sample rate |
| 16:15:47 | funman | that would be plla/68 |
| 16:15:55 | domonoky | oki, so the oversampling in i2sout should be 128 and the m_clock set to 5,6Mhz (24mhz clock, divider 16).. |

| 16:47:02 | funman | yeah i get reboots as well ;) |
| 16:48:01 | Llorean | How's the install process? Is it likely to be something that can go into RButil? |
| 16:48:22 | domonoky | ah, now i also get the "shutting down" message.. it delicate timing on this button :-) (short press, long press, very long press, and very very long press ) : |
| 16:49:00 | domonoky | Llorean: a bit like on the hxx0 players.. patch a of firmware for the bootloader.. so no problem for rbutil. |
| 16:49:01 | funman | perhaps the timing needs to be adjusted to be shorter |
| 16:50:13 | bertrik | hmm, I always get the shutting down text when powering off |

| 16:54:52 | Llorean | The wiki pages make it sound like the m200v4 Rockbox is less advanced than the m200v1-3 |
| 16:57:22 | Llorean | Do we still not have a way to recover any but the e200v2? That would more or less make this our first brickable set of targets in quite some time. |
| 16:57:50 | funman | no way, except using the safe mkamsboot :) |
| 16:58:14 | Llorean | I'm not sure I understand that sentence. |
| 16:58:47 | funman | there's no recovery mode, but mkamsboot is deemed safe enough to not need recovery |
| 16:58:50 | domonoky | a failed flash would always brick those targets, it like with the hxx0 players. You can also brick them with a faild flashing.. |
| 16:59:52 | domonoky | but the ams-sansas are even safer then the hxx0 players, as we have the criticall dual-boot code seperate, so we can even recover a bad bootloader. |
| 17:00 |
| 17:00:13 | Llorean | domonoky: I didn't mean to suggest they were unsafe. Just brickable. |
| 17:00:46 | domonoky | and i just wanted to say, that iriver h1xx are even more brickable :-) |
| 17:00:50 | funman | the recovery mode for e200v2 isn't exactly user friendly, so they should all be considered brickable |
| 17:01:28 | Llorean | domonoky: Do we checksum the bootloader file after it's copied to the device in RButil, or just after they're merged? |
| 17:01:44 | funman | we checksum the original firmware |
| 17:01:58 | funman | oh sorry, i was talking about mkamsboot, not rbutil |
| 17:02:09 | domonoky | Llorean: before and after the merge for irivers, the copiing is not checked. |
| 17:02:11 | Llorean | funman: And mkamsboot doesn't copy it to the device anyway, does it? |
| 17:02:30 | | Quit kachna|lappy ("Konversation terminated!") |
| 17:02:31 | Llorean | domonoky: Maybe we should check after the copy too, just to be safe. |
| 17:02:39 | domonoky | only if you point mkamsboot to the device :-) |
| 17:02:45 | funman | no it doesn't, just generate a file to be copied |
| 17:03:12 | domonoky | Llorean: i think there is another checksum, checked by the OF before flashing, so a failed copy should be detected. |
| 17:03:38 | Llorean | domonoky: On the H100? |
| 17:03:58 | domonoky | yes. it wont flash a invaild firmware... |

| 18:58:40 | domonoky | codecs have their own buffer, like plugins. but i think the buffering system pre-loads them into the audio-buffer, and copy the codec into to the codec buffer at start of playback, but i am not sure.. |

| 20:34:08 | funman | so, can you check the lowest pclk frequency you can use ? (this commit was intended to reduce power consumption) |
| 20:34:21 | domonoky | /me suspects it timings in the fuze-lcd code. so the right fix would be, to make them frquency independent.. |
| 20:34:50 | funman | 5<<2 is the plla (|0x01) divider - 1, so 384/(5+1) == 64; and now we use 24 |
| 20:35:06 | funman | but of course it's better if you lower the delays in fuze driver |
| 20:35:26 | kugel | domonoky: there's a simple lcd_delay function. If it's clocked lower, you mean I should lower the delay as well? |
| 20:35:39 | kugel | let me try. The delay is too high anyway |

| 20:38:33 | domonoky | is someone with knowlegde about rockboxs buffering code here ?? |
| 20:39:01 | funman | I thought about something else by the way |
| 20:39:12 | funman | we should disable dma/sd/dbop/gpio clocks when we don't use them |
| 20:39:31 | funman | for dma we should write 2 functions to inc/dec rease a reference count since there is 2 channels |

| 20:40:43 | kugel | division ratio => div = 1/(dbop_prediv_sel + 1) |
| 20:40:59 | kugel | as of now it's 1/3 |
| 20:41:01 | domonoky | yes, disabling not used units would probably save a good bit of battery.. but that also can come later. |
| 20:41:48 | domonoky | kugel: if changing the delay, doesnt help. you could also experiment with CGU_DBOP to see if this helps.. |
| 20:41:57 | funman | kugel: you can set the clock source also, i guess now it's pclk, try lowering the divider to 1/2 ? |
| 20:43:04 | kugel | lowering? Doesn't that mean it'll clock higher? |
| 20:43:27 | funman | yes. |

| 20:43:33 | domonoky | kugel: yes, but you have problems when we lower the main clock, so thats intended.. |
| 20:43:35 | funman | your problem is that pclk was 64MHz and now is 24MHz |
| 20:44:00 | funman | 64/3 == 21, 24/3 == 8MHz , so you want to higher from 8 to 21 until you got lcd display |
| 20:46:07 | kugel | err |
| 20:46:15 | kugel | it's 1/(3+1) as of now |
| 20:46:40 | funman | so, 16. try 24/(1+1) = 12 |
| 20:47:03 | kugel | 1/1+1 worked |
| 20:47:26 | funman | and /(2+1) ? (lower clock == more battery) |
| 20:47:28 | kugel | oops, 1/2+1 I mean |
| 20:47:48 | kugel | (I thought I tried 1, but I did in fact use 2) |
| 20:47:57 | domonoky | and does 1/2+1 also work at 64Mhz ? |
| 20:48:15 | funman | no, the reference clock is 24MHz, so 1/(2+1) => 8MHz |
| 20:48:30 | funman | oh sorry.. I didn't understand what you meant |
| 20:48:54 | funman | but I think we don't need to use an higher freq for pclk, only touch the cpu clock (fclk) |
| 20:49:09 | | Quit gromit` (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
| 20:49:13 | domonoky | it would be good to find a setting which works on wide range of cpu frequencys, remember we want the boost feature later :-) |
| 20:49:14 | amiconn | kugel: ARM mode ORR always has 3 operands. If you see a 2 operand form, it's thumb code |
| 20:49:35 | kugel | amiconn: yea, we already found that out :) |
| 20:49:44 | domonoky | ah, pclock is seperate from the cpu clock of course... |
| 20:51:02 | funman | kugel: thanks for fixing this fuze-specific bug in fuze-specific code </sarcasm> |
| 20:51:43 | kugel | funman: Don't call to early. I'm having problems in the main now |
| 20:52:07 | funman | the same problems, or the kind you have while messing with button code? |
| 20:52:19 | kugel | other problems |
| 20:52:32 | kugel | lcd_update is VERY slow and it doesn't get to the main build |
| 20:52:52 | kugel | I already lowered the delay in lcd_delay from (x*1024) to (x*64) |
| 20:53:05 | funman | try with other peripheral clock dividers then |
| 20:53:09 | kugel | main menu I mean |
| 20:53:28 | funman | if it doesn't work you can use the plla as a reference clock, with higher dividers though since it's at 384MHz and not 24MHz like the peripheral clock |
| 20:55:23 | kugel | funman: 1/1 isn't enough |
| 20:55:42 | kugel | lcd_update still noticeably slow, and I still don't get to the main menu |
| 20:55:57 | funman | then use plla source (|0x1 instead of |0x0) |
| 20:56:58 | kugel | funman: ? |
| 20:57:40 | funman | ah you can't set the clock source for cgu_dbop sorry .. |
| 20:57:47 | kugel | yea |
| 20:58:11 | funman | try highering pclk then |
| 20:58:50 | funman | by the way, is 1/1 = 1/(0+1) aka bits 2:0 set to 0 ? |
| 20:59:16 | funman | because that would be clk_dbop == 24MHz instead of the previously (working) 16MHz |

| 21:07:02 | funman | with panicf() I see a call to buffering_reset(?, -367552) |
| 21:08:44 | * | funman wants a backtrace :( |
| 21:09:29 | funman | by the way while walking I thought about how to debug the spurious resets: replace the reset vector by a func which dumps the whole RAM to disk |
| 21:09:41 | domonoky | which comes from playback.c audio_reset_buffer().. |
| 21:09:43 | funman | and prints the stack pointer, so we can debug offline |
| 21:10:18 | domonoky | funman: sounds like a good debugging method.. |
| 21:10:21 | funman | pcmbuf_init() is called with a pointer to 0x30100000 (1MB of SDRAM) so that part looks correct |
| 21:13:28 | domonoky | hm, before the call to pcmbuf_init the filebuflen is still our ~216k. It seems like pcmbuf_init wants 512k ? as afterwards we have -367k |

| 21:18:40 | saratoga | i saw comments about memory usage |
| 21:18:49 | domonoky | and if i can fit it into the m200v4s memory, also the other targets wont be a problem :-) |
| 21:18:51 | saratoga | if you think you need more, you should shrink the codec buffer to 512KB |
| 21:19:06 | funman | it's already 512KB |
| 21:19:27 | saratoga | oh didn't realize it was already halved |
| 21:19:29 | funman | atm there is 512KB for codecs, 512KB for plugins, ~625KB for rockbox binary |
| 21:19:44 | saratoga | you could probably shrink both it and the plugin buffers quite a lot as well without breaking much |
| 21:20:20 | saratoga | have you enabled IRAM as well? |
| 21:20:21 | gevaerts | If you suspect that RAM is the blocker to get sound to work, I'd reduce either codec or plugin buffer to near-zero, depending on whether you use plugin sound or playback to test things |
| 21:20:28 | bertrik | funman, does the 625 KB already include the code + variables + stacks? |
| 21:20:41 | gevaerts | Once everything works you can increase them again |
| 21:20:42 | saratoga | i bet MP3 works with 128KB buffer + IRAM |
| 21:20:47 | funman | IRAM is used but only for icode/idata etc segments |
| 21:20:49 | domonoky | hm, pcm_buf init returns that it needs 545k + 32k guard buffers.. :-/ |
| 21:21:08 | funman | shouldn't a check go here? |
| 21:21:16 | kugel | funman: Why don't you try to fix the flash buffering patch? |
| 21:21:18 | domonoky | so we surely have the RAM problem :-) |
| 21:21:21 | funman | I think yes (since it's an init function it's not time critical) |
| 21:21:29 | funman | kugel: because i don't know the code |
| 21:21:42 | kugel | hm, sounds reasonable |
| 21:21:43 | saratoga | kugel: I don't think trying that patch makes much sense now |
| 21:22:06 | saratoga | a port should be working well before you go and change the playback code |
| 21:22:08 | gevaerts | That's buffering. This is pcm_*. I would expect those to be unrelated |
| 21:22:09 | kugel | saratoga: they're running out of memory while buffering. That patch disables buffering |
| 21:22:36 | saratoga | i know what it does but changing buffering will be a nightmare and its not something you're going to have much luck trouble shooting while drivers are incomplete |
| 21:22:42 | domonoky | kugel: not really true. we already run out of mem at startup. as i found out now :-) |
| 21:22:45 | * | gevaerts would just reduce the plugin buffer to 64k or so for now |
| 21:22:51 | saratoga | and anyway 2MB of RAM is enough for the current system |
| 21:23:09 | kugel | if plugin buffer is futher reduced yes |
| 21:23:15 | kugel | like the other 2MB targets do |
| 21:23:23 | domonoky | if we really need ~512k only for the pcm buffers we get problems... :-) |
| 21:23:54 | gevaerts | Of course, but do you want to fix that without a working reference? |
| 21:24:14 | funman | what do you think of http://paste.ubuntu.com/78129/ ? |
| 21:24:23 | * | domonoky tries to reduce the plugin buffer... |
| 21:24:43 | kugel | funman: Am I correct? That clock change commit was only for the bootloader? |
| 21:25:08 | funman | kugel: only the bootloader sets it, the main binary doesn't change it |
| 21:25:24 | * | gevaerts likes the "insert meaningful message" :) |
| 21:25:25 | domonoky | funman: :-) would be a good check for svn... programmers never check memory allocations. :-) |
| 21:25:25 | kugel | ok, I thought both do |
| 21:26:26 | saratoga | while I'm here, is anyone that familar with the DBOP control registers? |
| 21:26:29 | funman | I'll try with 256kb plugin & buffer (512kb more for pcm) |

| 21:26:38 | funman | *plugin & codec buffer |
| 21:27:04 | funman | gevaerts: well I'm not sure what are the allocations made here, so I guess someone should "insert a meaningful message" ;) |

| 21:28:23 | gevaerts | funman: "Not enough memory for pcmbuf_init()" ? |

| 21:29:10 | domonoky | even better: "Not enough memory for pcmbuf_init() %x %x", requested_size,buffer_size) |
| 21:29:55 | funman | kugel: 384/(15+1) = 24, .. something is definitely wrong here |
| 21:29:56 | gevaerts | I'd write that as "Not enough memory for pcmbuf_init() %x>%x" |
| 21:30:16 | kugel | saratoga: yea, I stumbled up that too. And I did what the data sheet says, and it did not work |
| 21:30:40 | kugel | saratoga: also, the lcd-driver is purely based on disassembly. So I assume it's what the of does |
| 21:30:43 | bertrik | the DRAM segment is only 1MB in the map file, is that correct? |
| 21:31:09 | funman | bertrik: minus plugin & codec buffers, right |
| 21:31:30 | kugel | funman: the difference is that PCLK_SEL is set |
| 21:31:41 | Unhelpful | amiconn: for the mono targets, unless i find something that should be ifdef'd away and isn't, it looks like they will need to use the old bmp reader to avoid having a binsize change. would it be more acceptable to retain that reader in a bmp-mono.c, or to have two versions of bmp_read_fd in bmp.c, selected via ifdef? |
| 21:31:43 | kugel | when I removed that, I had problems |
| 21:31:51 | funman | kugel: I don't understand what you mean |
| 21:32:24 | kugel | funman: the |0x1; part sets PCLK_SEL to plla_fout |

| 21:33:33 | bertrik | audiobuf starts at about 0x9c000 and ends at 0x100000 into the SDRAM, so thats about 400k. The codec buffer starts at 0x100000 and the plugin buffer starts at 0x180000 |
| 21:33:41 | kugel | funman: you just did? |
| 21:33:58 | kugel | " 384/(15+1) = 24" |
| 21:34:09 | funman | kugel: i just did and it's exactly the same frequency used in svn now. So I may be wrong in my calculus |
| 21:35:00 | kugel | funman: I already told you. SVN doesn't alter PCLK_SEL to plla_fout, but leaves it as clk_main |
| 21:35:14 | kugel | p107, last row in the data sheet |
| 21:35:32 | funman | kugel: sure, clk_main == 24MHz, so PCLK == 24MHz in svn |

| 22:15:00 | funman | it seems rb->sleep() in test_codec sleeps forever |
| 22:15:20 | amiconn | Perhaps we shouldn't say mono == no scaling etc, but rather differentiate by ram amount |

| 22:30:15 | domonoky | maybe its caused by that this open doesnt come from the main thread.. *speculating* |
| 22:30:47 | funman | this may have to do with the threading code I copy-pasted without understanding it |

| 22:31:29 | domonoky | you mean the wake_up thing ? |
| 22:31:45 | funman | nope, I understood this part ;) |
| 22:31:58 | funman | I meant sd_thread() |
| 22:32:16 | kugel | funman: I tried various DBOP clock divider without modifying CGU_PERI. all resulted in unacceptable slowness. |
| 22:32:50 | kugel | Plus: I didn't get into the main menu most of the times, e.g. it looped at the (main builds) bootlogo |
| 22:33:11 | funman | kugel: please write that on the patch entry, with the list of frequencies you tried |
| 22:33:37 | funman | and if you didn't get to the main menu, write the result for each frequency you tried |
| 22:34:07 | funman | so at least we can figure which range of frequencies bring which result |
| 22:34:38 | funman | in short: put all the info you have |
| 22:34:55 | domonoky | funman: doesnt look like its related to the sd-thread. i let the thread terminate, and still get the reboots. |
| 22:35:05 | | Join XavierGr [0] (n=xavier@rockbox/staff/XavierGr) |
| 22:35:12 | kugel | funman: did. I listed all clock divider I tried |
| 22:35:23 | domonoky | but also those occasional reboots we get before, seemed to be related to sd-access. |
| 22:35:42 | kugel | funman: *all* divider I tried failed |
| 22:35:45 | funman | do you know in which occasions the CPU can call the reset vector ? |
| 22:35:57 | bertrik | are we sure the thread isn't running out of stack space? |
| 22:35:59 | kugel | including the fastest |
| 22:36:09 | domonoky | nope, i will check the data sheet :-) |
| 22:37:44 | domonoky | does the watchdog run ? |
| 22:39:48 | funman | no |
| 22:39:55 | funman | bertrik: how can we be sure? |
| 22:40:45 | kugel | funman: I answered |
| 22:41:56 | bertrik | funman, it's indeed hard to be sure. If the problem goes away after using plenty of stack for that thread, it could be stack problems. We can also check stack usage in the debug menu. |
| 22:43:35 | | Quit davie_420 () |
| 22:44:07 | funman | for sleep(), switch_thread() will enable the interrupts again. The fact that sleep() never comes back must mean that another thread is not giving back the hand |
| 22:44:31 | bertrik | The clip currently maps YES to the play button (for example in deletion confirmation). Wouldn't it make more sense to use the select button? |
| 22:44:44 | funman | I think so |
| 22:44:55 | kugel | funman: Are you tired? I don't know how often I need to say that even the fastest devider is unacceptable slow without modifying CGU_PERI |
| 22:45:18 | amiconn | hmpf! |
| 22:45:24 | kugel | Also, 1/(15+1) is the lowest divider you can get for pclk |
| 22:45:30 | funman | kugel: you're not very clear. |
| 22:45:34 | * | amiconn doesn't understand why his own c200 build doesn't werk |
| 22:45:43 | funman | I don't know what "modifying CGU_PERI" means for instance |
| 22:46:07 | amiconn | The latest current build is working fine... |
| 22:46:10 | funman | If you said "setting pclk to X MHz" it'd be much more understandable |
| 22:46:13 | kugel | funman: you used that phrase yourself: "without modifying CGU_PERI " |
| 22:46:36 | bertrik | amiconn, maybe run configure and make clean again |
| 22:46:39 | funman | "_without_ modifying" means "use current setting" |
| 22:46:48 | amiconn | I already did that 2 times... |
| 22:46:52 | funman | hm I read with instead of without |
| 22:46:56 | kugel | you said "without modifying CGU_PERI" first, and I throught it refers to past-r19234 |
| 22:46:58 | amiconn | All other builds work, just c200 doesn't |
| 22:47:44 | funman | kugel: well I read "without CGU_PERI" in the FS entry, did you mean "without modifying CGU_PERI" ? |
| 22:48:03 | * | domonoky made the codec sack much bigger. now it shuts off instead of reboot :-/ |
| 22:48:08 | kugel | funman: yes |
| 22:48:28 | funman | and in my last comment I meant you to use the CGU_PERI setting of r19234 |
| 22:48:45 | | Quit robin0800 (Remote closed the connection) |
| 22:49:01 | funman | to sum it up, I want a table of pclk frequencies and dbop clock frequencies, associated with the state of the lcd driver |
| 22:49:17 | kugel | funman: that's with having the CGU_PERI line removed, isn't it? |
| 22:49:49 | funman | no .. |
| 22:49:55 | kugel | funman: then you mean r19233 I guess? |
| 22:50:11 | funman | yes |
| 22:50:12 | kugel | since r19234 removed that line |

| 22:51:09 | kugel | funman: One question though: Why testing all that stuff? We cannot get lower pclk |
| 22:51:31 | funman | to understand what we change |
| 22:51:56 | funman | and not blindly commit the first line which 'just works' |
| 22:52:54 | funman | we are obviously wrong somewhere since using a 24MHz pclk sourced from the crystal and using a 24MHz pclk sourced from the PLLA, and divided; have different results |
| 22:53:51 | funman | perhaps the PLLA setting is wrong, like what I saw in the OF suggested |
| 22:54:04 | kugel | funman: haha not again you mean? :) |
| 22:54:12 | funman | what again? |
| 22:54:40 | kugel | nevermind |
| 22:55:13 | bertrik | funman, maybe it has to do with the cpu/apb synchronisation setting |
| 22:55:36 | funman | in the OF they use an array of a couple { frequency, cgu_plla register value }, and the value associated to 384MHz showed a setting of 96MHz |
| 22:56:06 | funman | bertrik: you mean asynchronous clock setting in cp15 config register? |

| 23:00 |
| 23:04:09 | kugel | funman: comment added |
| 23:06:14 | funman | in the list of cgu_pll* settings, I notice all the values are 4 times higher than the setting, except 2 which are 2 times higher |
| 23:06:14 | kugel | I think my findings make sense |
| 23:06:52 | * | funman will check his pll calculation algorithm |
| 23:06:53 | * | domonoky confirms that threading itself isnt the reboot-problem, i can successfully open a file in a thread created in a plugin... |
| 23:08:06 | funman | domonoky: of course since high scores reading/writing in games works |
| 23:08:29 | funman | perhaps the hardware itself causes the reset? |
| 23:08:58 | domonoky | funman: normal plugins dont use threads, and run in the main-thread... |
| 23:09:04 | funman | ah ok |
| 23:11:01 | funman | damned |
| 23:11:21 | funman | the datasheet uses a different bit order : OD0=x OD1=y |
| 23:13:12 | funman | still, I get a value 2 times lower than what the OF lists |
| 23:13:27 | funman | (now it's consistent for all the values listed at least) |
| 23:14:05 | kugel | funman: different bit order? endianess? |
| 23:14:59 | funman | endianess is about byte order |
| 23:15:17 | kugel | yea, and 8bits are 1byte :P |
| 23:15:18 | funman | they just use a not logical bit order to display the information |
| 23:15:28 | funman | and I read too quickly without noticing this |
| 23:15:47 | kugel | good you noticed now I suppose |
| 23:18:08 | funman | now that I fixed another bug in my code, the settings I find in the OF are correct |
| 23:18:41 | funman | These 2 bugs cancelled each other, and the plla frequency remains correct (384MHz) |
| 23:19:15 | funman | BUT the setting is incorrect according to the datasheet (fvco > 400MHz) |
| 23:23:04 | kugel | funman: what to do about the CGU_PERI line? |
| 23:23:11 | kugel | (just read your answer) |
| 23:23:52 | funman | modify it, note results |
| 23:23:58 | | Quit BigBambi_ (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer)) |

| 23:24:37 | funman | now clip bootloader fails (no display) with CGU_PLLA = 0x2630 :/ |
| 23:24:38 | kugel | I suppose yes |
| 23:25:03 | funman | kugel: (15<<2) = 60 |
| 23:25:35 | kugel | funman: I mean as divider |
| 23:25:45 | kugel | as in 1/(15+1) |
| 23:25:55 | funman | kugel: be explicit, i'm not reading your mind ! |
| 23:26:23 | kugel | I thought it was obvious that I was referring to the CGU_PERI line, sorry |
| 23:26:36 | funman | the plla is clocked at 384MHz with this setting, so the calculations don't change |
| 23:29:14 | * | funman notices a #ifndef BOOTLOADER block inside a #ifdef BOOTLOADER block |
| 23:29:37 | amiconn | haha |
| 23:31:15 | kugel | funman: yea, I wondered about that too |
| 23:31:42 | funman | kugel: my guess is that the previous pclk frequency we used we was "undetermined" |
| 23:32:37 | * | gevaerts suddenly realises that his e200 usb instability was with a 60MHz build |
| 23:33:00 | kugel | funman: I guess that line should move after the #else |
| 23:33:41 | funman | at the end of the function is fine, and boosting the CPU in the bootloader is fine too |
| 23:35:30 | funman | hm it's useless, SD is slowed down by the peripheral clock onyl |
| 23:36:19 | kugel | funman: does your clip boot now with the changed CGU_PLLA ? |
| 23:36:23 | funman | no |
| 23:36:36 | funman | like I mentioned at 23:24 |
| 23:36:41 | domonoky | funman: something is strange. i can not shutdown my m200v4 anymore, it just starts up again.. :-) |
| 23:36:51 | kugel | funman: yea, I just thought you might have resolved that already |
| 23:36:52 | funman | domonoky: hm even with hardware power off? |
| 23:37:10 | domonoky | yes.. :-) |
| 23:37:12 | kugel | domonoky: somthing which I also noticed a few times |
| 23:37:19 | kugel | uh, not that |
| 23:38:39 | kugel | funman: white display here |
| 23:39:51 | kugel | funman: oops wait |
| 23:42:06 | kugel | funman: I see the bootlogo. The logo is fine, but not the text which states the revision. And it hangs at the bootloader |
| 23:42:20 | kugel | (the text is rather poxel garbage) |
| 23:42:34 | funman | on my side I can boot with a cpu at 215MHz, but not with a cpu at 220MHz |
| 23:42:46 | kugel | now it's fine. I still dont't boot into the main |

| 23:44:39 | skiy | Hi folks! I've been using Rockbox successfully on a gigabeat F60 for many months - it is a truly awesome application and I wanted to thank everyone involved for their work on it. |
| 23:44:40 | kugel | sorry, the sentence got cut :/ |
| 23:44:50 | funman | just read the datasheet, i have no more information than you on this topic |
| 23:45:02 | kugel | funman: ah right, postdiv and prediv |
| 23:46:37 | skiy | I think the hardware is starting to give out though :(. Does anyone know if I patch up the bad sectors on the device if rockbox will continue to work? |

| 23:49:38 | skiy | hi scorche|sh I think this indicates hardware problems :( :- FAT: Corrupted directory (i_pos 1104557790) |
| 23:50:25 | kugel | funman: which GGU_PLLA= did you use? I don't get what do put there by reading the datasheet |

| 23:51:19 | skiy | thank you domonoky I will let you know what it finds |
| 23:52:00 | amiconn | Hmm, really weird: If I build plain c200 SVN (from another working copy, but with the same toolchain), it works. A build from my main working copy shuts down after displaying the log, but there's a workaround for this: Pulling the microsd *and* holding "Right" during boot avoids that shutdown. Once booted, it works normally... |
