00:00:58gevaertsBagder: ping
00:01:08bertrikkugel, did you also try it with SDA #defines as 5?
00:01:32kugelbertrik: the lcd driver sets pin 5
00:01:39kugelunlikely that this one will owrk
00:01:41kugelwork*
00:01:55bertrikI think there's a bit of a bug in funman's patch, it passes an int pointer where a byte pointer is expected, don't know if this has any actual impact
00:02:14kugelno, it doesn't
00:02:30kugelI tried changing that
00:02:35bluebrotherhelpo: please define "weird instructions"
00:02:37advcomp2019helpo, the wiki has the step for the e200R
00:02:58bertrikactually, at least you get a value other than 0 or 255, which indicates that there is an actual device somewhere responding to out request

00:03:32*kugel was kidding
00:03:46*bluebrother didn't understand this joke
00:05:24kugelbertrik: possibly. funman said I shall try different delays, the -4 indicates a failed read
00:05:27*amiconn had yet another hard freeze experience on his H180 today :\\
00:05:44bertrikkugel, ah of course
00:07:06jhMikeSamiconn: On SH, using 1u for a shifted bit is more efficient? I should check the kernel.
00:07:33helpook
00:08:00bluebrotherhelpo: please explain your problem

00:09:44jhMikeShrm, nothing shifty there without priority
00:10:23 Join helpo [0] (i=4b3a331d@gateway/web/ajax/mibbit.com/x-f9a250d1b208f789)
00:10:38helpoalright i figured out the problem
00:10:44helpomy device is not supported
00:10:49helpo'Note: Rockbox doesn’t function on the newer v2 models. They can be identified by b checking the Sandisk firmware version number under Settings!Info. The v1 firmware is named 01.xx.xx, while the v2 firmware begins with 03.'
00:11:25helpoi have version 2 and i was fallowig all the directions correctly but rockbox was not detecting my media player
00:11:35kugelbertrik: what delay would you think is sufficient?
00:11:48gevaertshelpo: that would indeed explain things
00:12:06kugelbertrik: I also tried this one { int old = TIMER1_VALUE; while(TIMER1_VALUE + 4 > old) ; } as posted by funman a little later, same results though
00:12:09jhMikeSgevaerts: I don't know if what I committed makes any difference for mrobe100. It didn't matter for GBF but it's more correct anyway.
00:12:09bertrikkugel, try something very slow, i2c can't really be too slow, so perhaps increase it by a factor 100
00:12:17helpoawwww, the sad part is that rockbox wont work... ;[
00:12:54gevaertsjhMikeS: testing now
00:13:09rasherhelpo: Work is underway to support the v2 models, but it's still far from ready
00:13:29helpoany talk about dates?
00:13:45helpoversion 3 came out so i though it would be supported....
00:14:39saratogaversion 3 predates the first V2 code I believe, so no suprise it didn't add support
00:15:11 Quit EspeonEefi ("さよなら")
00:18:34gevaertsjhMikeS: I can't reproduce the problem at all anymore. This seems to be a bit more random than I thought at first
00:19:59jhMikeSno check between r19409 and r19410 to see it that really mattered?
00:21:20gevaertsI tried r19410, r19396 (latest daily), and 3.0, and it now always works
00:21:57jhMikeSmaybe mrobes need some time to warm up? :p
00:22:21*gevaerts thought the same :)

00:25:06gevaertsjhMikeS: in 3.0, if the headphones are plugged in while booting, it works. If they are plugged in later, it fails. Now trying other versions
00:25:25bluebrotherBagder: can we get content-type: text/plain for diff and patch files on the tracker?
00:25:52MTughanJust installed Rockbox on my iPod yesterday, seems to work. But I just replaced some files, and the old ones still show up. Does an iPod cache file names, does Rockbox, or is something else going on?
00:26:28 Quit gregzx ("ChatZilla 0.9.84 [Firefox 3.0.4/2008102920]")
00:27:08bluebrotherMTughan: seems you haven't set the database to auto-update
00:27:26MTughanbluebrother: I just forced it to update, and the old files show up in the file view as well.
00:27:47MTughanAlthough Auto Update wasn't on, thanks for the tip.
00:28:11gevaertsMTughan: also enable dircache, for even better auto-update (I think)
00:28:44MTughangevaerts: All right, I'll look it up.
00:28:44pixelmaI believe update and auto-update don't detect deleted files if the database is not set to "Load to RAM"
00:28:55bluebrotherdidn't auto-update require dircache?
00:29:02pixelmaor however that option is called
00:29:31pixelmabluebrother: no, I think it's "just" slow without
00:30:01MTughanOh, I forgot to copy over the files in one directory, happened to be the one I was looking in... Others updated fine.
00:30:14MTughanWell, thanks for the help and database config flags at least. :P
00:33:01MTughanAnd dircache is enabled... One more thing. Is there any "soft-off" mode in Rockbox, so the player doesn't have to load from scratch every time?
00:33:22saratoganope
00:33:42MTughanWell, Vorbis and FLAC playback override that... Thanks for the help.
00:33:46Unhelpfuli know that the beast HW at least supports some sort of suspend, since the OF uses it. :/

00:34:42*gevaerts now doesn't understand this bug at all anymore
00:36:42 Quit jhulst (Remote closed the connection)
00:36:53gevaertsI could reproduce this earphone-while-booting in 3.0, r19396, and r19410 for a while, but now it suddenly always works again
00:37:12***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:40:16jhMikeSgevaerts: perhaps the initial state isn't read at boot?
00:40:36jhMikeSit has hp detection?
00:40:40gevaertsyes
00:46:44amiconnjhMikeS: It's a little more complex than that. SH1 has no shift-by-n instructions, only fixed shifts. So libgcc provides subroutines for shift-by-n
00:47:24amiconnThere are 3 of those: arithmetic right shift, logical right shift, and arithmetical left shift (which is identical to logical left shift of course)
00:47:24gevaertsjhMikeS: I added FS #9628, which has all the information I know
00:49:14amiconnThere are two points to consider. (1) Logical right shift by n is a bit more efficient than arithmetical, due to the available instructions. (2) If it is possible to get rid of any of these 3 completely, a bit of binsize will be saved, because the corresponding libgcc routine will no longer be linked
00:49:24jhMikeSgevaerts: doesn't sound like something I can address without a device.
00:50:05jhMikeSamiconn: It always uses a function or inlines simple instanes (like division).
00:50:09amiconnThat said, with r19409 all uses of arithmetical right shift by n are already removed, so __ashrsi3 is no longer included in the rockbox core.
00:50:10jhMikeS*on ARM
00:50:15gevaertsjhMikeS: I guess your initial state theory is not improbable. I'll see if I can get at it tomorrow
00:50:53Unhelpfulamiconn: to a certain degree, we can try to make all logical shifts left, or right, by changing which operand is shifted...
00:50:54 Join jhulst [0] (n=jhulst@unaffiliated/jhulst)
00:51:20Unhelpfulthere are going to be expressions that doesn't work for, and it'd be a pain to go through all the shifts in RB, i'd think... :/
00:51:46amiconnBut of course you could still save a tiny amount of binsize and execution time on SH by using logical right shifts instead of arithmetical ones where possible
00:52:12amiconnI mean fixed shifts - the variable ones are already optimised this way.
00:52:43amiconnE.g. >> 4 translates to 2 instructions for unsigned, but 4 instructions for signed
00:53:30Unhelpfulamiconn: you've explained an oddity that i encountered trying to compact the bmp reader a bit - it seemed that the 15/16 bit cases could be merged by using calculated shifts - but you say makes it clear that it would be cheaper on SH to branch the code and use fixed.
00:53:58 Quit helpo ("http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client")
00:57:56Unhelpful*what* you say.
00:58:12amiconnUnhelpful: Depends - if the fixed shift would need too many instructions when inlined (I don't know the exact limit gcc uses), that fixed shift will also be turned in a subroutine call (though without a parameter)
00:59:33rasherI agrees with Zagor about the database app (PCTOOL) - basically create a version of the sim with a tiny main() routine and accepting some commandline arguments
00:59:41rasherWould be easier to maintain
01:00
01:00:10amiconnIf you see calls to e.g. __ashiftrt_r4_NN (NN being a number from 1 to 31), this is what I mean
01:00:28bluebrotherisn't the main problem that nobody is actively maintaining the database app?
01:00:57bluebrotherwe could consider adding database building to rbutil. In that case a small sim wouldn't be too helpful
01:01:08Unhelpfulamiconn: urgh, that could lead to terrible space-efficiency, if all of those functions are being copied into the object at link :/
01:01:32amiconnThose functions are actually interleaved code
01:02:14Unhelpfulsomething along the lines of a series of single shifts with a label at each instruction, basically?
01:02:16rasherbluebrother: Making it a, say 25-line "patch" to the sim would make it so much easier to maintain
01:02:31rasherbluebrother: I don't see how the current situation makes things any easier for rbutil
01:02:53amiconnThe whole bunch of __ashiftrt_r4_0 to __ashiftrt_r4_31 totals 41 instructions (82 bytes)

01:28:15rashermidgey: for a short while
01:28:35midgeyi've been looking at some of the lang updates on the tracker
01:28:42midgeyi'd like to get them in before 3.1
01:28:50amiconnwtf? Gcc uses __ashrsi3 for a variable shift (in the grelib) where clearly all involved variables are unsigned!?
01:29:49rashermidgey: What else besides FS #9553?
01:29:54amiconnDoesn't matter much, but it's really strange behaviour...
01:30:42midgeyFS #9239 and FS #9587 (if we can get the patch to apply)
01:32:14rasherAh yes, I guess we might as well add the turkish one. Maybe someone should check if there's anything in the old one that's not in the new one, since it's translated from scratch
01:32:39rasherI'd be happy to have FS #9587, but I've no idea what's happened to that patch
01:33:01midgeyi looked at fixing it manually, but it's way too huge
01:34:02Unhelpfulamiconn: tbh, i really didn't understand the purpose of that transformation it performed in ata.c... it turned a left shift into a right one, and if the code had been taken as written, there wouldn't be a need for worrying about sign :/
01:34:24midgeyi'm looking at the turkish one right now, it looks like some of the voice strings are gone
01:35:02amiconnTransforming it into a right shift saves a register
01:35:36midgeyerr, scratch what i just said, i formed the patch backwards
01:36:56amiconnAnyway, gcc sometimes produces weird and inefficient code. The greylib code I was looking into (grey_mono_bitmap_part inner loop and surroundings) is just one example...

01:39:36Unhelpfulamiconn: saves a register at the cost of requiring a static library symbol that was unneeded before, but gcc doesn't do inter-object-file optimization yet :/
01:40:18amiconnWell, one static library symbol is needed either way, just not the same. The left shift would need __ashlsi3
01:41:56Unhelpfulright, and gcc can't make a smart decision about it, unless it learns to revisit that decision at link time.

01:58:18rashermidgey: Maybe it's worth it to construct a script that merges the two.. I'll look into it
01:58:41rasherAnd remove strings that are identical to english as well
01:58:49midgeywell, the ids are there, they've just been replaced with english
01:59:29midgeyhe also likes to use Title Case a lot
01:59:32rasherShould be possible to get a reasonable result with an automatic merge if it compares to the english phrase as well to see which one has it right
01:59:44rasherI think that's less of an issue

03:14:59MTughanI'm running an iPod 5th gen (aka Video), with the latest stable of Rockbox. The FLAC files were transcoded from AIFF by ffmpeg.
03:15:27MTughanRockbox just seems to skip by all the files in the folder without actually playing any of them.
03:15:36scorcheXillius: mod should play fine...
03:16:26Unhelpfuland there are no messages displayed at all about what happens? in my experience, when it fails to decode something, it says why...
03:16:41MTughanIt just stays on the frontend.

03:19:43scorcheXillius: next time please update before you come in here to ask...
03:21:45MTughanpixelma: Does the container format matter to Rockbox? I used OGG.
03:22:26Unhelpfuldefinitely, rockbox generally only supports whatever the "native" container is for a codec
03:22:50scorcheXillius: i am not sure about xm or it...i know there is a patch in the tracker though
03:23:03MTughanUnhelpful: As I know, OGG is the one used with FLAC.
03:23:24UnhelpfulMTughan: no, flac has it's own native format.
03:23:31scorchehttp://flac.sourceforge.net/faq.html#general__native_vs_ogg
03:24:08Unhelpfulthe ogg container thing is something that got added when it was incorporated into the xiph codec family, and there's really no benefit from it except for slightly larger files that play on fewer devices.
03:24:09MTughanThanks scorche.

03:28:25slacti'm trying to register on the rockbox TWiki, and it's giving me a bad error when I enter the validation code
03:28:46MTughanHmm, using the FLAC container still doesn't seem to be working.
03:28:51slactsomething about it not having write permissions
03:29:57Unhelpfulhow did you convert them?
03:30:17MTughanI used ffmpeg. Want the output options?
03:31:13Unhelpfulif you named the output file .flac, and didn't go out of your way to force a container format, it should be right. why not use the reference encoder, though?
03:31:19 Quit Thundercloud (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer))
03:31:33MTughanWhere's the reference encoder? I just used ffmpeg out of convenience.
03:31:59MTughanI guess off the FLAC SF.net page, eh...
03:32:07Unhelpfulthe one that comes from flac.sf.net. generally the binary is named "flac", or "flac.exe" on windows
03:32:23MTughanI'm running on OS X, so a BSD underbed.
03:33:08Unhelpfuli'm not sure what the "right" way is to get flac installed on OS X
03:33:30MTughanThere seems to be command line tools available. I'm downloading them now, will explore.
03:33:47Unhelpfulgood luck
03:34:21Unhelpfulwe should probably move this to #rockbox-community, it's become a conversion issue, now that we've established that the problem was probably the ogg container.
03:34:50MTughanMaybe. They play fine in VLC.
03:35:34Unhelpfulyes, ogg flac will play fine in vlc, to my knowledge, but it won't in rockbox
03:36:01MTughanYeah, I could see that. I'll see how far I get with the reference encoder.
03:41:26MTughanNice, that seems to work. Thanks Unhelpful.
03:41:35MTughanEven keeps the metadata from the original...
03:42:02Unhelpfulglad it worked. enjoy your rockbox :D

08:56:57lucentI own a Sansa Clip and Sansa Fuze 8GB now :)
08:57:17lucentis either hardware of interest to capable developers?
08:57:19Unhelpfulamiconn: it's been bumped off the bottom by all the bugfixing, but the gain was on the order of 4.5KB on color targets, and i think closer to 1.5-2KB on greyscale
08:57:23lucentI don't need both
08:57:34amiconnUnhelpful: My point is that we have smooth scaling, we should offer it on all targets that can afford it
08:57:47amiconnThe greyscale targets certainly belong to this group
08:58:19Unhelpfulyou think so? it wouldn't be hard to code that, a quick clone-and-hack job.
08:58:20amiconnAnd while the greyscale LCDs are merely 2bpp, you get a higher effective depth through dithering in the wps, but that's not my only point
08:59:00amiconnIf the bmp reader + scaler would allow a pluggable output stage, coverflow could use the greylib on greyscale targets, for an effective depth of ~7bpp
09:00
09:00:26Unhelpfulamiconn: doesn't yet, but that's a matter of adding a function pointer w/ the same signature as resize_on_load to bmp_read_*
09:00:31amiconnThe greylib currently has no bmp loader, a fact that I wanted to change for a long time already :/
09:01:00amiconnHmm, I'd prefer the data post-resizing
09:01:21amiconnI.e. load, smoothly resize, and then pass the data to the output stage
09:01:42Unhelpfulwhat i'm saying is you could have an 8-bit greyscale resizer in pluginlib
09:01:43amiconnThink of the greylib as just another pixel format
09:02:24amiconnActually the simplest one you can think of. Just 8bpp in natural order.
09:02:34Unhelpfulright now the inside loop of the scalers is direct-output in a target format... although, they do both generate whole lines at a time, we could add an output_line function...
09:02:48amiconnAH, hmm
09:03:05Unhelpfulsorry, actually, nearest doesn't, but you're talking about doing away with nearest, pretty much.
09:03:22amiconnNot sure whether it's worth having this in the core then, but imho it would then make sense to share the source file between core and pluginlib
09:05:03Unhelpfulwell, if we support smooth scaling on greyscale targets, there's really only one scaler, then. we can pass an output_line function in that copies lines to the target bitmap
09:05:30Unhelpfulthe one in core can be 2bpp or 16bpp, depending on target, and an 8bpp greyscale can be in pluginlib
09:05:38lucentweird, I see a patch supporting radio mode on Sansa Clip - I thought that rockbox wasn't able to run on the Clip though due to limited resources?

09:07:41lucentthanks for that info
09:07:57lucenthas it gotten far enough to play back audio?
09:08:21Unhelpfulwe could use exactly the *same* scaler if we always scale in color, and then convert to greyscale only at output... i wish i'd kept my multiply counts for the color scaler, i could try to figure which was more efficient :/
09:08:24Lloreanlucent: A little bit.
09:08:30*lucent smiles :)
09:08:30LloreanIt usually crashes after a short period of playing
09:08:53lucentif another user testing the code is handy, I will try
09:09:01amiconnUnhelpful: I'd think that scaling in greyscale would be faster
09:09:18Lloreanlucent: We need more people actually working on it. Investigating the code and figuring out where the crashes are happening, and why
09:10:22lucentoh, I'm a good bug tester but not much of a coder then
09:10:25Unhelpfulamiconn: well, remember, brightness costs 3 multiplies, though... and the smooth scaler doesn't actually have any per-input-pixel multiplies, right now.
09:11:02amiconnhmm
09:11:13amiconnThat'd be an interesting comparison

09:11:42lucentwhere on the rockbox website is that information mentioned?

09:26:08jhMikeSn1s: I have a nice FM menu item on my beast but I can only listen to God on it (cosmic background radiation). :d
09:26:41n1sjhMikeS: hmmm
09:27:42n1si think i get worse reception on the beast then the h300 but it's hard to tell because fm is kind of weak here
09:27:44jhMikeShmmm, weird. I take that back, it's tuning now. :\
09:27:55n1soh :)
09:29:10jhMikeSStill, strange volume leaps when switching regions.
09:29:49n1sjhMikeS: that is the softmute, when it decides it is not tuned to a valid station it drops the volume by 16dB so it's actually a feature
09:30:34 Join GodEater [0] (i=c2cbc962@gateway/web/ajax/mibbit.com/x-f579ea9151f1c249)
09:30:49n1sbut it is kind of weird because it is supposed to set a bit to tell if you are on a valid station but that seems to never get set...
09:30:50jhMikeSBut it is tuned. It goes silent or quiet, then when I go back to the screen, it pops back up.
09:33:24jhMikeSn1s: Nice job on the tuner though. Don't let my probing for strange behavior say otherwise.
09:34:01n1sstrange, i don't think i've had that but it seems very position dependent so moving just a few cm can mean going fron clear signal to just noise
09:34:18n1sjhMikeS: thanks, and feel free to probe :)
09:35:17Unhelpfulamiconn: ok, the color downscaler is 9*dw*sh + 12*dw*dh multiplies
09:35:55n1si hope i can get proper seeking/scanning working soon but therere's so much to do before christmas :/
09:36:10Unhelpfulcalling brightness per output pixel would make that 9*dw*sh +15*dw*dh multiplies
09:37:12jhMikeSn1s: tuning is a bit sticky. you set the proper GPIO settings on the tuner?
09:37:23Unhelpfulconverting the scaler to work in 8bpp greyscale, and calling brightness on input pixels, means 3*sw*sh + 3*dw*sh + 5*dw*dh
09:37:40Unhelpfulerm, sorry, last term is 4*dw*dh.
09:38:27n1sjhMikeS: not sure really, from what i understand the gpios are only for interrupts from the tuner, which we currently do not use
09:38:28 Quit gromit`` (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
09:38:31jhMikeSif you didn't then that would explain why the MCU GPIO pins don't register correctly
09:38:55n1sor maybe i don't understand wht you mean :)
09:39:49Unhelpfulfor input dimensions 2x the output dimensions, that's 2/3 as many multiplies for color->grey->scale, instead of color->scale->grey
09:40:09jhMikeSn1s: You have to set the GPIO lines on the tuner in its registers to be functional was all I was saying. You're probably familiar with that alread.
09:41:15n1sjhMikeS: yeah, ok, as i said i only think they are used for interrupts, do you think setting them up will affect tuning?
09:41:38Unhelpfulat 4x, color->grey->scale is about 25% more multiplies... but i hope we're not going to make greyscale targets do that, anyway.
09:42:20jhMikeSn1s: so that loop isn't needed and it could get rid of the sticky feeling from the UI
09:43:12 Quit Seed ("cu, Andre")
09:43:27n1sjhMikeS: aha, yes it can indeed, bertriks patch in FS9611 does this and it works fine, or at least the same
09:44:15 Part tkooda ("thanks!")
09:44:22jhMikeShmmm. and we can avoid i2c traffic to check the mono/stereo bit.
09:45:03*jhMikeS listens to The Doors on 94.7
09:45:32LloreanSome stations wouldn't come in at all on the Clip radio patch, for me.
09:49:38jhMikeSn1s: we definitely need the volume ranges combined to match pcm. -54db is pretty loud still.
09:50:15ameyerFor the record, I just read some of the backlog and just wants to point out with the "read audio data from flash" (FS9322?) patch, the clip is reasonably stable, although there still appear to be some issues with the PCM driver and the sd driver
09:50:32n1sjhMikeS: yes, i just didn't know which volume to use :/
09:50:50n1swill look at it later, gtg now
09:51:53jhMikeSn1s: The volume attenuates the ADC after min is hit for the HP amp to get a 96dB range. It could actually be much larger than that.
09:52:07jhMikeS*DAC
09:53:47Unhelpfulhrm, all of the in-the-loop code would be cut to nearly 1/3 the size, too, i'd imagine... which would bring the smooth scalers on greyscale in line with the cost of the NN scaler now
09:54:50*jhMikeS wonders if a 190dB volume range on the beast would be excessive?
09:56:59 Join rvvs89 [0] (n=ivo@pdpc/supporter/base/rvvs89)
09:58:05ameyerjhMikeS: pretty much
09:59:27LloreanjhMikeS: Is most of that downward?
10:00
10:00:13ameyerif full scale is 0 dB, -186dB would be full scale * 2^-31
10:00:40jhMikeSLlorean: -184 to +6 if DAC+HP are combined
10:00:52LloreanjhMikeS: What's the current range?
10:00:57ameyer-190dB would be full scale*10^(-19)
10:01:07jhMikeSLlorean: -90 to +6
10:01:36LloreanI guess it more or less boils down to "which is most similar to what we do on other players?'
10:01:57ameyerand would be percieved as approximately full scale * 2^-19 IIRC
10:01:58jhMikeSLlorean: The beast is really a loud player though
10:02:03LloreanThis is true.
10:02:15LloreanI know the lower limit on the F is just a little higher than I'd personally like it to be, even with my replaygained music.
10:02:34LloreanI don't really see the harm in offering users ridiculous lows, since nothing forces them to go that far down anyway.
10:03:03ameyermaybe a bit of binsize or ram usage, although probably not
10:03:07jhMikeSThe line can go in effect -104.25 to +6 combined with HP so it's a good range
10:03:16Lloreanameyer: The beast is a beast in terms of RAM too.
10:03:51ameyerand I'd imagine it'd be miniscule anyway
10:04:02ameyereven on something like the clip with 2 MB
10:08:11jhMikeSLlorean: Really, I've wondered about limiting the maximum on the beast. It's just ridiculously loud at the upper end and my headphones aren't even terribly efficient.
10:11:12LloreanjhMikeS: People on other players ask us occasionally if we can make it louder.
10:11:26LloreanI say we give them the freedom to deafen themselves, if they feel they really must.
10:12:52UnhelpfuljhMikeS: don't forget car adaptors and the like - one of ours is quite quiet, and needs either the beast up to -10, or the stereo up well above where it's used for other channels.
10:12:56jhMikeSI blasted myself by mistake once though just because I forgot I had it cranked. :p

10:38:20Unhelpfulamiconn: as far as brightness itself goes, i'm inclined to think we keep the existing version, with the div, on SH, where it's smaller code and we don't dither or have >1bpp output. we could probably go even more low-quality, really.
10:39:49amiconnDid you compare sizes on SH?
10:40:17Unhelpfulyes, >>8 is more code, i'm guessing the extra multiply is what puts it over.
10:42:21Unhelpfulthe >>4 version is smaller on arm than >>8, we should probably use that on PP targets if the main display is color, and the >>8 version on greyscale main-display targets
10:43:42Unhelpfuli don't know how that split works out on coldfire... we should probably stick to whichever is decent and smallest there, as well, *if* the main screen is color

13:41:26moosindeed, and I think everyone is ok with this
13:43:19bertriksounds like a nice job for Mr. Someone
13:43:28JdGordonwe need to decide if we want to reuse tags or create new ones, and do we do it as a seperate file or as a wps mode

13:45:13JdGordonthe downside with that is wps files for screens which on some targets have fm and some dont have alot of extra cruft
13:45:37LloreanWho cares? The memory's wasted already, since we pre-reserve memory for the WPS.
13:45:54JdGordonnot if it ends up needing us to increase that buffer size
13:46:16JdGordonalhough with some cleverness we can ignore bits which are only used for fm
13:46:16LloreanAllow a few of the ID3 tags to show station name and frequency, and the progress bar to graphically represent the "tuner" with 0% being the lowest available frequency and 100% being the highest. =P
13:46:38LloreanTags aren't going to make us increase the buffer size. New graphics are.

13:47:05LloreanAllowing it to reuse WPS graphics will probably save memory overall.
13:47:07n1shaving both in the same file means that we don't need to spin up the disk to go to fm which would be nice imho, unless we use seperate buffers for fm but that would be a waste

14:09:48JdGordonand the ams radio patch?
14:10:12*JdGordon searches gmail and finds them
14:10:20n1sJdGordon: beast radio went in a couple of days ago
14:10:24JdGordonfinds that the beast 1 was commited already
14:10:38JdGordonwhich is nice, didnt break my radio patch
14:11:41n1sJdGordon: I think that to get seeking working nicely i will have to extend the tuner interface a little, will that be nicely doable after your changes?
14:12:50JdGordoni guess so... right now im trying to remove the tuning logic from apps... so ideally it would just say "tune/seek to freq and let me know if its tuned"...
14:13:57JdGordonhttp://pastebin.com/d59befe9 is the interface I have so far
14:14:19JdGordonwhich is mostly cut/paste straight out of radio.c
14:14:54JdGordonthat fm region sturct also will be removed from the .h as its only needed for tuning (which apps/ doesnt need)

14:17:10JdGordonvoid radio_set_frequency(int freq)
14:17:11JdGordon{
14:17:13JdGordon curr_freq = freq;

14:17:27JdGordon}
14:17:30JdGordonalthough looking at it, its not very nice :p
14:17:46JdGordonset should force the freq wheras scan would get the nearest station to it
14:17:50 Nick sajes_ is now known as sajes (n=sajes@66.82.244.88)
14:18:56n1sso scan starts at curr_freq and just goes to the closest station?
14:19:11JdGordonyeah
14:20:09n1shmm, then maybe this can work without changing the interface, how does radio.c find out which freq it scanned to?
14:20:43JdGordoncall radio_get_frequency or radio_get_station
14:22:18n1sdoes it do this currently or do you intend to make it do this?
14:24:23JdGordonthats the intention
14:25:30n1ssounds good, the si4700 seeking is basically: set a bit for seeking up or down, 3 different signal measures by which it validates a station and set it off
14:26:04n1sand when it finishes you can check if it decided it failed and at which freq it ended

15:06:25bluebrotherhmm. How much additional room should be left on the device after installing? 1MiB? 0.5MiB?
15:06:41LloreanDepends an awful lot, I should think.
15:06:56LloreanYou won't need much at all for the .cfg file and the nvram.
15:07:10LloreanCompared to that though, if you want to use database or dircache it can get pretty big, right?
15:07:20bluebrotherwell, I'm adding a space check prior to installing for rbutil
15:07:28n1sbluebrother: we have a couple of nasty bugs triggered by the disk getting full when trying certain things...
15:07:52n1syeah, the database can take several megs
15:08:08bluebrotherand my idea was to compare free space with the extracted size. That is a bit off due to cluster sizes on the player.
15:08:40Lloreanbluebrother: Maybe warn if <15mb just in general.
15:08:54bluebrotherbut if I consider that we should have 1MiB left after installation it should be safe. But should we have a bigger safety?
15:09:16LloreanBetter to play it really safe, at least until Rockbox itself is able to deal better with running out of space, right?
15:09:22bluebrotherLlorean: could be done, but I think that would be a separate thing. For now I want to warn / abort during installation.
15:09:23n1sbluebrother: maybe let them install if it fits but if you have, say < 10MB free say "Very little disk space free, certain functions in rockbox may not work as intended" or something
15:09:25bluebrothertrue.
15:10:13LloreanI think just a warning "Your player is nearly full. While Rockbox can still be installed, some features will create files, and if you run out of disk space may experience unpredictable failures."

15:26:21bluebrotherhmm. My current implementation has one flaw: it requires the space of the extracted files to be actually free, regardless if there will be files overwritten (like during an update).
15:26:50bluebrothershould I simply ignore this? The biggest archive would be doom afaics, and that has ~15MiB.
15:27:48n1scouldn't you just check the return code from the failing copy?
15:28:08bluebrothersure, but my current attempt is to check the available space before installing anything
15:28:33bluebrotherif I'd just look if space runs out during extraction I might have a partly extracted build on the player
15:29:59bluebrotheror even two mixed builds, if an update fails due to this. Which I imagine could happen if someone updates from a quite old build and the new one just needs that few bytes more he is missing
15:29:59n1syeah, since it's such small sizes anyway, i think it can be ignored but it doesn't feel entirely clean
15:30:55bluebrotheryep, same here ... but checking the space the extracted files already take on the device, if present at all, would be a bit of additional work :)

18:48:26bluebrotherif I use debug? What do you mean?
18:48:29casainhofor debug, I wanted to ask about JTAG
18:48:31bluebrotherand my IDE is vim :)
18:49:16bluebrotherwell, what's the exact question about JTAG?
18:49:58kugelhmm
18:49:59casainhobecause until now I just saw tutorials for ARM7 of people using JTAG debugging, GBD and Eclipse
18:50:09kugelkeyclick's nice now after the rework
18:50:23casainhoI got it working today :-) - here a screenshot: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3163/3104368953_2744f24f18_o.png
18:50:45casainhobluebrother: so, do you use JTAG debugging?
18:51:11bluebrotheryes, but not for Rockbox. Though that doesn't make much of a difference
18:52:22lucentbertrik: how to go back to the OF on a Sansa Clip after Rockbox is loaded?
18:52:25casainhoso, do you use commands to OpenOCD?
18:52:32Jaykaygevaerts: gevaerts: now whats about fs#2999?
18:52:41bertriklucent, hold the home button while booting
18:52:44casainhobluebrother: or you are not using OpenOCD?
18:52:49bluebrotherwell, when I used gdb I used it directly.
18:52:51lucentbertrik: ah. Very nice
18:53:08bertriklucent, the "hold" button works too IIRC
18:53:24bluebrotherno, haven't used OpenOCD yet. Back the time I had an emulator for ARM I had a BDI2000 which connects to gdb directly
18:53:37J-23what makes e200v2 buttons work in bootloader, but not in Rockbox?
18:53:49bluebrotherplanning to get a JTAGkey for ARM though.
18:54:07casainhobluebrother: ah, okok −− I don't see to much information on RB wiki about this subject... maybe people at RB do not use JTAG debug because of missing connection to players...

19:07:39Chestetalucent: I have installed the bootloader if you need help
19:08:00lucentyes, where do I find out how to install the bootloader on a Clip?
19:08:36casainhocan someone please tell me where in Makefile of bootloader I can setup the Optimization of GCC? because I am doing debug with GNU Debugger and I am getting some errors and I think the problem is on otpikization
19:08:38 Quit freqmod_qu (Remote closed the connection)
19:08:52kugelChesteta, lucent: you build the bootloader file using the ordinary rockbox build system
19:09:03bertrikNobody wrote the documentation yet AFAIK. Putting rockbox on a Clip is not recommended for general use yet, so maybe we shouldn't even document it.
19:09:29kugelthen you pass the bootloader file, and (any) OF file to rbutil/mkamsboot/mkamsboot (which you need to "make" once before)
19:09:32domonokylucent: build a bootloader. merge it with a OF binary with mkamsboot (in rbutil dir) and copy the resulting binary with the right name to the player

19:10:32Chestetawow my irc just lagged quite a bit, got a full page of txt at once
19:12:07lucentstill not sure how to build the bootloader
19:12:18Chestetaheres how i did it: 1) download device firmware (say for example you wanted to update to the latest sandisk firmware) 2) build mkamsboot (navigate to that directory and run the build command)
19:12:19lucent../tools/configure −−target=bootloader or some such?
19:12:48domonokyjust run configure, it will guide you
19:13:25lucentdomonoky: I've built configure's "55) Sansa Clip" target... am I all set?
19:13:32Chesteta3) create a bootloader for your device (mkdir bootbuild-in root directory (instead of just build)) then run ../tools/configure and select your device and then select "B" instead of "N" (b for bootloader)
19:14:29Chesteta4) run a build command in the bootbuild folder. you should have a file in there with a .sansa extension; this is the rockbox bootloader

19:14:45lucentah okay I have that file from your step # 4
19:14:51lucentI'm starting to see how this works
19:16:20Chesteta5) copy the .sansa file you build in the bootbuild directory and the bootloader you downloaded in step 1 (the sandisk "stock" firmware) into the mkamsboot directory
19:16:48lucentcool. Now I'm following :)
19:16:58lucentthanks a heap Chesteta !
19:17:10Chestetathen you will run the command "mkamsboot [sansafirmwarename.bin] [rockboxfirmwarename.sansa] [outputfilename.bin]

19:37:37kugelbut I initialised btn with 0, so it might not have changed at all
19:39:01bertrikI think the data line was probably stuck at 0. The i2c read routine read a 0 and thought it was an ACK, then read more data which is not suprisingly also 0.
19:40:15kugelwell, funman made it be initialised with 0
19:41:15Chestetadomonoky: oh alright; in the developer thread it was mentioned about testing the keymap (by atomikpunk, reply #498). I was going to try and help with that but perhaps it has already been taken care of

19:49:47bertrikkugel, I wrote the entry about fuze i2c I/O in the hardwaremapping page... I may have made a mistake. Or maybe this code was linked in the firmware but is not actually used. Or we're overlooking something else.
19:49:48domonokylucent: you could shrink the partition to below 1Gb :-)
19:49:55lucentha, maybe!
19:50:20lucentdomonoky: there's no partition listed though
19:50:32lucentdomonoky: do you infer that I create one?
19:50:32Chestetalucent: I dont know of any; I know how to use the svn and use patches but as far as making them (actual programing) i dont, you just need to press the left arrow key while powering on to get to the sansa firmware :)

19:51:42Aurix_Lexico./util/MTP/sendfirm won't compile for me, it says there is a mismatch in the amount of arguments with a function from libmtp
19:52:00kugelbertrik: when I change it, i2c_read_data() returns -4 again...
19:52:44gevaertsAurix_Lexico: what version of libmtp do you have? It compiles fine here

19:53:33gevaertsI have 0.2.6
19:53:56Chestetalucent (cc domonoky): i tried using the windows disk management console and also paragon partition manager and the sansa e200 would not let me create a different sized partition... this is when I was getting the PANIC** (sd message)
19:53:57bertrikkugel, does the delay have to have a very specific value to return 0? i2c delays can be made very long and i2c should still work.
19:54:50casainhobluebrother: I would like to know how I can define -O0 (optimization of GCC) on bootloader makefile... because I am doing debug and I need it...
19:54:50kugelI added a rather long delay, really
19:55:11gevaertsAurix_Lexico: I can confirm that it fails with 0.3.*. Can you install 0.2.something?
19:56:01Aurix_LexicoI'll try
19:56:05bluebrothercasainho: you need rather -g to create debug symbols. Disabling optimizations helps during debugging too, but is not strictly necessary (at work we debug with compiler optimizations enabled. Can be confusing at times)

19:58:09Chestetalucent: oh; I erased everything (backed it up first) and then put rockbox on there... that is probably why its working now :)
19:58:24Jaykaythe first one clears the button queue after zooming in mandelbrot, the second makes aplles in snake appear immediatly
19:59:07gevaertsJaykay: not during the freeze
19:59:36gevaertsWhile those may be nice improvements, I don't think they qualify as bugfixes
19:59:37bluebrothercasainho: in the bootloader Makefile the CC option -g is used if DEBUG is defined.
19:59:48bluebrotherso I guess a make DEBUG=1 whould do it

20:00:02casainhookok - thanks
20:00:12bluebrotherthough I haven't tried :)

20:03:36Jaykayi thought the "i suggest..." is annoying because im writing it every time...... and i tried both patches and they work fine (the second after the sync, which i did)
20:04:13lucentChesteta: confirmed, now that I have done a "format" and reloaded the .rockbox directory structure, the rockbox firmware loads and runs correctly
20:04:31lucentChesteta: so there is a limitation in the bootloader that it must load from < 1GB , that's my guess

20:19:50saratoga Jaykay: you can see whos working on files by looking at that SVN link i posted above
20:19:58lucentChesteta: confirmed, music plays back
20:20:16lucentChesteta: I'm still getting frequent panics with the SD issue mentioned before, and the database
20:21:20*bertrik hasn't seen any sd panics on his 1GB clip in the past week
20:21:59Chestetalucent: is that after putting 1+ gb of data on the device?
20:22:21lucentno, did a "format" using utility in OF
20:22:32bertrikkugel, no, -4 is returned when the i2c slave does not ACK the device address, which means it didn't send a 0 back after receiving the address
20:22:36lucentthen added .rockbox/* and a single mp3 in the MUSIC dir
20:23:08Chestetaok... I was also wondering if we could partition our devices into multiple small drives
20:23:30Chestetawould be a pain to navigate :)
20:23:32kugelbertrik: getack returns 0 "if (iface->sda())";
20:23:45gevaertsChesteta: wouldn't help anyway. The problem is at a lower level
20:23:48saratogai think the problem is that the SD driver can only read one bank of the SD card
20:24:00saratogapretty sure the rockbox fat driver is workign fine
20:24:09ChestetaI tried as i stated before but with no luck... there may be other partition tools that work better
20:24:10kugeland sda() is "return SDA_PIN"
20:24:41lucentsaratoga: Clip has.... an embedded SD?
20:24:49lucentI'm confused about that part
20:24:57kugelbertrik: (and i2c_outb returns getack, and if getack is 0, i2c_read_data returns -4)
20:24:59Chestetasaratoga: so if we format in fat (instead of fat32) it may work better?
20:25:21bertrikyes, there seems to be some kind of NAND flash <-> SD controller built-in
20:25:29kugelsaratoga: yep, it looks like bank switching needs to be implemented, I surely will have a look as soon as buttons work
20:25:47lucentkugel: which player do you have access to?
20:25:55kugelfuze 4gb
20:26:00lucent:)
20:26:13lucentit's scary to try a bootloader without knowing if the buttons will work
20:26:53kugelthe buttons work in the bootloader. Besides a faulty bootloader can't break the player, since the dual boot isn't handled by the bootloader
20:27:15lucentah
20:27:22Chestetalucent: you got it working once before :)
20:27:47lucentI've got an 8gb fuze and would be willing to test any work you put in on the SD driver
20:28:11bertrikkugel, so sda() returned something else than the expected 0 and caused getack to return 0, which is interpreted as failure. So sda() was high, not low as was expected.
20:29:00kugelbertrik: ah right, I missread
20:29:26saratogaChesteta: no the fat driver is working fine, hence it doesn't matter
20:29:40saratogawe've been using it for years on targets with 10s of GB
20:29:46lucentChesteta: fat driver probably covers all "versions" of FAT
20:29:49kugelso our sda_pin is high. but they key is that the sda_pin doesn't change upon button press I guess
20:29:57Chestetasaratoga: oh right on, understood ;)

20:32:37Jaykaythanks
20:32:41bertrikkugel, I don't know. I think the generic driver is a bit weird.
20:33:11kugelI'd think it should be done before, and the sda() checks if it worked
20:33:24kugelbut I haven't written it and I don't understand it at all
20:33:39bertrikkugel, are you familiar with i2c at all?
20:33:44kugelnot at all
20:34:18 Quit faemir ("Leaving")
20:34:32kugelbut returning 0 if it's high and then setting it high is surely weird
20:37:36***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
20:37:57bertriksda is a bidirectional pin in the protocol, so master and slave can both set it. In this case, first the master checks the sda state, produces a clock edge, then sets it high.
20:39:20bertrikthe generic i2c driver is a bit weird because it explicitly set sda as output and then outputs a high level, this could produce a bus level conflict if the slave tries to drive it low at the same time.
20:41:04bertrikin the i2c protocol that I'm familiar with, the SDA and SCL lines are never set to a "hard" 1 and can only output a hard 0. Setting the pins to high-impedance mode (inputs) allows a set of pull-up resistors to pull the lines high.
20:41:58kugelbertrik: "could produce conflicts" doesn't sound good
20:42:20kugelmaybe you can rewrite it a bit so it meets your knowledge and I see if it works better?

21:16:41rasherJaykay: you'll have to ask one of the germans about that. Jörg Hohensohn did the translation, but he's not around here much.

21:58:57Zagor5 second backlight timeout is a lousy default
21:59:18rasherIt seemed a bit fast for me
22:00
22:01:07Zagorit's way too short. 30 is reasonable."backlight" on many targets pretty much means "display". when the backlight goes out, you see nothing. hence it's a power mgmgt mode, which should only kick in after user idles a while
22:01:43kugelalso, new users seem to be challenged with that short timeout
22:01:50Zagorindeed
22:02:00rasherI whole-heartedly agree
22:02:21Jaykayi would think 15 is better
22:02:22 Quit mofux (Connection timed out)
22:02:23Jaykaynot 30
22:02:30rasherMaybe the default should be dependent on READABLE_WITHOUT_BACKLIGHT (don't we have a define like that?)

22:05:15kugelNope, that's why I introduced it :)
22:06:39rasherkugel: have you tried a battery bench with and without this patch, for example with caption backlight on to simulate backlight usage during playback?
22:07:23kugelrasher: No, but there was a report in another task that "showing wps" vs "showing main menu" makes up a 15% difference in runtime
22:08:00kugelwith backlight off all the time, that is
22:08:18Jaykaynot bad....
22:08:39Jaykayi guess aeverythings updated in the wps even if the bakclight is off
22:08:45Jaykayincluding the statusbars?
22:08:49kugelJaykay: hence the title of that task
22:09:17kugelthe wps is updated since there're targets where the screen is readable without backlight

22:10:48bluebrother"MP3-Abspieler" :)
22:11:00peturn1s: yes, but only in cases where you have a very very large font selected (insanely) compared to your screen size. So I wouldn't care about it using sysfont at that moment, it is just better than showing a splash
22:11:34Jaykaymp3 is still to new for abspieler^^
22:11:40rasherpetur: what does it use the sysfont for? Displaying text, or numbers?
22:12:21Jaykaykugel: i thought the patch only disables chaning of alternating textes?
22:12:22bluebrotheris a READABLE_WITHOUT_BACKLIGHT really necessary? Are there any targets with color display around that are actually readable without backlight and non-color targets that are unreadable?
22:12:30ZincAlloy"Digitalaudiospieler"
22:12:36Jaykaybetter^^
22:12:58kugelJaykay: No, I think the title tells what it does

22:13:03rasherbluebrother: I think someone reported the Nano to be readable, but I'm not sure
22:13:08Jaykaykugel: ok
22:13:12rasherCould be another target I'm thinking of
22:13:22bluebrotherrasher: we could ignore the nano :P
22:13:22midgeyisn't the video readable too?
22:13:26Zagorbluebrother: don't some ipods have transflexive screens?
22:13:29kugelwhy should a patch aim for disabling alternating sublines?
22:13:43pixelmayes, the Ipods with colour screens are quite readable without backlight
22:14:01Jaykaykugel: i think you mentioned the reason already, battery runtime?
22:14:53bluebrotherZagor: I don't know, hence the question ... but I only experienced color -> unreadable, non-color -> readable

22:15:34kugelZagor: Hmm, getting back to that patch, I'm under the impression that this should be wanted in svn?

22:15:58kugelJaykay: of course..

22:16:12Zagorkugel: which patch is that?
22:16:20kugelhttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8523
22:16:34kugelit needs work
22:16:40kugelbut from the idea, I mean
22:16:48pixelmaIMO it would be a real pitty to turn the LCD off on the Video/Nano without backlight
22:16:48rasherIt seems like something that should be done
22:17:05Zagorkugel: yes, I like the idea
22:17:43kugelbut I think the check shouldn't be for backlight, but rather for lcd_enabled
22:17:46Zagor...if we can show that wps updating actually costs anything
22:18:34bluebrotherdid someone make measurements about the power saving when disabling the lcd?
22:18:39Jaykayis there any sense in disabling the lcd completely after maybe a minute without backlight?
22:18:41Jaykayon players with those not readable lcds....
22:19:02Jaykaybluebrother: i dont think so, if its appreciated i would do this....
22:19:12bluebrotherI'm wondering if it really makes much of a difference.
22:19:20ZagorJaykay: on unreadable lcd:s it would make more sense to disable instead of just turning off the backlight
22:19:28kugelZagor: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8379#comment21201
22:19:40Zagoragain, if we find it makes a power difference
22:20:36Jaykayzagor: but the lcd is not disabled right?
22:20:56Jaykaythis should save even more power
22:21:03kugelJaykay, Zagor: Targets where the display is unreadable without backlight do already turn of "lcd_enable(false)" in their backlight_off function
22:21:04pixelmadisabling the LCD is already done on some of those unreadable ones (on the Sansas and X5 for sure)
22:21:06Zagorkugel: thanks, I missed that comment. 15% is a lot.
22:21:16bluebrotherthat sounds a lot. Having actual current numbers would be still interesting though.
22:21:33kugelZagor: and I heard a very similar report some time ago
22:22:07pixelmabertrik benchmarked runtime on a c200 (IIRC) before committing the LCD disable
22:22:10kugelsome time as in a few month, way after that comment
22:22:41kugelpixelma: the disabling doesn't stop the wps updating though
22:24:05bluebrotherwhich leaves the question how much power the wps needs, and if / to what extend that depends on the theme used
22:24:41Jaykayanother thing: is there any way to disable the database rebuild on the e200 without connecting it with a computer?
22:25:15Zagorbluebrother: it probably is very depending on the wps used.
22:25:37bluebrotherZagor: that's my guess too.
22:25:40Jaykayits kinda annoying if you just want to check something out in the OF but changed a file with rockbox
22:25:54kugelprobably thinks like scrolling also affect it
22:25:58pixelmakugel: I know, but thought one question was also about power savings from turning the LCD off

22:27:56ZagorJaykay: well we can't change how the OF works
22:28:54Jaykayrockbox can prevent the OF of e200 from rebuilding the database when the player is connected with a computer....
22:29:41ZagorJaykay: yes, but that is an exception.
22:30:02Zagorwe managed to find some bits to fool the OF into skipping that rebuild
22:30:06Jaykayback to the wps updating: shall i do some battery benchs with(out)the patch and different themes?
22:30:30rasherJaykay: that'd be grand. Try a completely blank wps as well
22:30:44JaykayZagor: so it would be easy to do that i.e. when a second button is hold down....
22:30:56Jaykaythis would make some things easier
22:31:18Jaykayrasher: what do you mean with a completely blank wps, and where do i get this?
22:31:43bluebrotherjust use an empty wps file. It should show simply nothing :)
22:31:48kugelthat test could take some time though :)
22:32:07kugelI think main menu vs cabbiev2 is most interesting so start with that please :)
22:32:14pixelmaa totally empty .wps will show the status bar
22:32:34rasherJaykay: A file with simply "%wd" on the first line
22:32:54Jaykaypixelma: not when the statusbar is disabled right?
22:33:41pixelmaah true, it respects the global setting. Didn't think of it as I never disable the status bar in menus
22:33:45kugelJaykay: you may use a .ape music file, to shorten the whole test
22:34:55Zagorkugel: well that will decrease the significance of wps differences
22:35:30Jaykayi agree with zagor, additionally i dont have music in .ape^^
22:36:51kugelZagor: but using mp3 or flac will not show reliable results either, as they need less cpu than unboosted
22:37:08kugelso the wps updating is basically free
22:37:38***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
22:38:21ZagorI'd say the best test is showing the wps, but pause the music .
22:38:28Jaykayhow about mp3's with 320kbits?
22:38:45Jaykayzagor: this would need more than a day..... for a single test
22:38:45Zagorwe want to know how much difference different wpses do, nothing else
22:38:48UnhelpfulZagor: that could take a while to show real drain...
22:39:11*rasher points Unhelpful at FS #9631
22:39:21kugelZagor: the cpu runs at 30MHz at minimum. Everything that doesn't need 30MHz will not show any difference I think
22:39:24bluebrotherrasher: sudoku_generate takes a char* as second argument but you pass it a const char*. Thus you discard the const qualifier. Make sudoku_generate take a const char* and everything is fine
22:39:55kugelZagor: on the e200 that is
22:40:01pixelmabut when music is paused there will be no progress bar or time display updates (maybe also a factor who knows)
22:40:12kugelUnhelpful: I don't know if's related, but I have a particular album art which data aborts in pictureflow, but not in the wps (cabbiev2)
22:40:49pixelmanot to mention peak meter when someone uses it
22:41:18Zagorboosting is done in specific places in the code, is it not?
22:41:22kugelthe test music needs to drive the cpu a bit, else it doesn't add cpu load
22:42:12kugelat least I think so.
22:42:45Bagderunless we "sleep" the chip when we can
22:42:54Bagderwhich we at least used to do
22:43:55Jaykaykugel: cant the cpu switch to 24mhz? i saw it somewhere im entwicklerbereich (debug)
22:43:56ZagorI don't see how wps changes can affect power consumption at all, unless the lcd activity uses more power
22:44:17Zagormore wps cpu use doesn't affect cpu_boost() frequency
22:44:18rasherbluebrother: ah!
22:44:26kugelJaykay: 30 and 80 are the performance levels
22:44:52Zagorunless, as Bagder says, we sleep away idle time
22:44:52Jaykaykugel: when you press select in cpu frequenzy, it switches to 24mhz
22:44:52Jaykay...
22:45:13Zagorin which case I maintain that cutting the codec out of the test will yield much better accuracy
22:45:13bluebrotherZagor: copying data (especially graphics) around for display?
22:45:27kugelZagor: well, when the cpu needs to calculate the updates, it can't sleep
22:45:30Jaykaybut why doesnt the cpu use 24mhz when it has nothing to do?
22:45:47kugelyea, you're probably right then
22:45:57 Quit karashata ("G'bye everyone!")
22:46:09BagderJaykay: because the clock switch isn't free so it's about finding the "best" compromise
22:46:41kugelJaykay: probably because someone has chosen 30MHz when he did the port
22:46:47Bagderand we only have one boost level
22:47:04Bagderkugel: not only that, it has also been tested and proven
22:47:50kugelBagder: 24MHz works well too though. But it's way too slow without some gui boost implementation
22:48:09Bagdersince for example the gui doesn't boost, we need speed enough to do a non-sluggish gui
22:48:13rasherI wouldn't call that working well
22:48:32BagderI agree, it's a weird definition of "workign well"
22:49:06Bagderpersonally, I'd like interaction to cause boost
22:49:12ZagorI think he means it's been tested and works, but is too slow for the gui
22:49:34Bagderright, but I meant tested and works fine for sound + ui and the rest
22:49:41kugel"well" as in the hardware does that well (not counting the software in). Also, the only situation I tried 24MHz was with gui boost
22:49:42bluebrotherurgh. Updating from Qt 4.4.0 to 4.4.3 increases the rbutil binary by about 1MiB :(

22:52:31kugelaccording to Buschel, the difference between 24MHz and 30Mhz doesn't yield as much runtime as one might think
22:53:39Unhelpfulkugel: we're not using scale-on-load in PF yet
22:54:01kugelUnhelpful: no, but you changed the load function too. and pf loads bitmaps
22:54:05Jaykayi could do another two battery benchs, only showing the menu. one time time with 24, one time witz 30mhz
22:54:11Jaykayyippie
22:54:30kugelJaykay: you can't run 24MHz without changing the source
22:55:11kugelin case you have 24MHz, you're obviously using a custom build. Only tests with the official build are valuable
22:55:21Jaykayso why does "cpu frequency" show 24mhz when pressing select?

23:00:56kugeltests where you force a freq will hardly be meaningful

23:01:59kugelUnhelpful: Oki doki
23:02:44Jaykaykugel: but if i do two benchs with 24 and 30mhz and only showing the menu, we would know wether 30mhz uses much more power than 24.... if this is the case then the developers could set the standard cpu frequency to 24mhz
23:03:13Jaykayso rockbox is only switching too 30mhz if its really needed
23:03:20bluebrotherdon't we have three frequency steps on H100? IIRC there's 11MHz too (but that's only used in the fm screen)
23:03:42rashermidgey: err nope
23:04:04Unhelpfulactually, a sim at all should tell you if it's any of the things that will cause an unscaled load to fail, all or nearly all of those have regular DEBUGF

23:10:24midgeyif i try blank it reverts to my username
23:10:25amiconnZagor: Nope. I know it's doable, and should be relatively easy. But I see no need for it, and it limits the choice of clock frequencies
23:11:03Zagorthe gain would be to lower the cost of boost

23:11:29midgeysetting it to the same as rasher worked...
23:12:39amiconnZagor: Yes, but imo there's no real need. We can't do that on all targets anyway, and hence we need always need a mode of operation that limits the boost/unboost rate
23:13:00amiconnOn a lowmem target things are different, of course
23:13:23Unhelpfulhrm, need to look @ the SH asm ref again
23:14:11Zagoramiconn: not necessarily. we could use two different models: very low idle freq with lots of boosting for div-clk targets and a higher idle freq with less frequent boosting for coldfire
23:15:07Unhelpfulamiconn: i went back to the "old" bmp loader for reference when i started on HQ greyscale, and i see a fair number of differences that i didn't introduce, in terms of how things are calculated. the comments seem to suggest that you did a lot of the size optimization, i might need to bother you (more than i have) at some point about getting loader size down :/
23:15:12amiconnMaybe, but then there are 2 facts which contradict each other
23:15:25ZagorI don't know if the gain would outweigh the added complexity though
23:16:23amiconnIf we want to lower the idle freq and boost for ui, it would make sense to go 24MHz. But then we'd also want the extra bonus of disabling the pll when at 24MHz - which then means we cannot boost quickly...
23:17:04kugelUnhelpful: interesting. The cover doesn't show in the sim, but on target
23:17:29kugeland pictureflow shows a wrong cover in the sim
23:17:30Zagoramiconn: those are not contradictory. we simply cannot disable pll in that scenario.
23:17:33amiconnUnhelpful: Imo the non-scaling loader size difference isn't that large. But I might have a look anyway
23:17:35Unhelpfulkugel: now i *know* that's not me ;)
23:17:51amiconnRight now I'm going to compare sizes for the >>8 brightness versus svn
23:18:07*amiconn is curious
23:18:09kugelUnhelpful: You're the bmp man now, no matter of the changes you did :)
23:18:31Zagoreverything is of course a matter of "how much do we gain" versus "how much does it hurt"
23:18:33Unhelpfulah, that's a size lose pretty much everywhere, i have a smaller mono brightness that's probably good enough for mono.
23:18:45kugelUnhelpful: pf segfaults when I click on that wrong image
23:19:13Unhelpfultbh i've seriously considered that we should do (0,1,0)/1 for mono ;)
23:20:27kugelUnhelpful: Why does the image show up on target?

23:22:23pixelmakugel: wrong picture reminds me of that bug that was said to be fixed yesterday (the one with the clear cache)... do you have album art for all your albums and/or did you change music files/directories recently, updating the database but not pictureflow?
23:22:27Unhelpful(2,5,1)/8 has mean-squared-error of ~22 grey levels
23:22:33amiconnThe mono targets do have a greylib though, and if we want to make the line output pluggable...
23:23:30Unhelpfuloh! i thought that was only on the 2bpp targets. what uses it on mono, sliding_puzzle?
23:23:34kugelpixelma: I updated the database and then cleared the pf cache (using its option)
23:23:48kugelI'm fairly sure that my fix really fixes it
23:25:37kugelhmm
23:26:21amiconnUnhelpful: Not sliding_puzzle, no. Atm there is no plugin that uses the greylib and bmp files, mainly due to the fact that there is no bmp loader for the greylib yet
23:27:15amiconnBut while bmp scaling and dithering etc doesn't make much sense in the core on mono targets, having it available for plugins would be a good thing, imo
23:28:07pixelmakugel: are there some albums without art, only showing the default? I only have a very few and when the bug happened to me I could usually see the art two times - one in the right place and the other a few steps before or after depending on how content had changed, probably on the old "spot" it would have been. Didn't try since yesterday
23:28:10amiconnNot all mono targets are lowmem, btw
23:28:47kugelpixelma: I think that just happened to me, yes
23:29:01Unhelpfuli know about some of the "modern" mono targets. maybe the "nice" load+scale should be available in pluginlib, and the stripped one in core, on lowmem targets?

23:34:36pixelmaZincAlloy: wanted to ask you... now there's the possibility to show something else while adjusting the volume, do you think this could be used in cabbiev2 (I'd find it quite useful if the volume icon could change and dB will be shown as the statusbar does, when there's space enough the dB could also show near the icon only while adjusting). It probably needs some viewport overhaul of the theme though and would take some time

23:34:46amiconnWhy is that bizarre?
23:35:19Unhelpfuli guess not, it matches yours
23:35:41saratogaI saw the dicussion of CPU frequency
23:35:43*Unhelpful claims tiredness
23:35:48saratogathis is actualyl something I've explored quite a lot
23:36:08saratogabasically, you will use a couple extra MHz doing LCD updates on most color targets
23:36:15saratogaand WPS updates too
23:36:20saratogaso the boost pecentage goes up
23:36:34saratogaon PP this means 1 mA of additional battery load for every 3MHz
23:36:47saratogaso updating the WPS takes about 1 mA of additional power
23:37:19saratogahowever, my MP3 on COP patch worked around this problem by shifting a lot of the decode use for MP3 to the COP
23:37:20kugelpixelma: it did work before I moved the deletion a little down in the function. And that broke it without me noticing
23:37:31saratogameaning theres extra MHz available for WPS updates without boosting
23:37:50saratogaso they're free, provided you have PP and only use MP3/FLAC/MPC
23:38:29saratogahowever this is still not very efficient, and I have some ideas how it could be further improved
23:39:15saratogaI would eventually like to change how boost works, such that the normal frequency depends on how recently the buttons have been touched
23:39:46saratogathis way we could disable the WPS on targets like the Sansa, and reduce the CPU clock accordingly to save more power
23:42:35saratogaamiconn: regarding PLL, I'm assuming the gain Toni saw from it was because he actually reduced the core clock to 24MHz, and that the gain Buschel saw [<1mA] is correct
23:42:42saratogain which case we might as well just leave it on

23:43:31Zagorsaratoga: I don't understand. how does boost percentage go up with lcd updates?
23:44:01ameyerso 3 MHz = about 3% battery life hit?
23:44:22saratogaZagor: CPU time is spent in the driver and in the WPS code

23:47:13saratogaZagor: perhaps this will clarify what I mean: http://www.duke.edu/~mgg6/rockbox/30mhz-2.png
23:47:52saratogaZagor: time spent in the LCD driver and WPS code requires a higher average CPU clock then would otherwise be needed, this increase in CPU clock increases power draw from the battery
23:48:59Zagorsaratoga: so you mean with less lcd_update we could lower the standard clock speed? you're not talking about the cpu_boost() call?
23:49:02*ameyer wonders what the power consumption of a CFmodded iPod Mini 2G is at 30 MHz
23:49:03saratogathis shows what boosting does to CPU load: http://www.duke.edu/~mgg6/rockbox/80mhz.png
23:49:21kugelsaratoga: after that what Bagder said, even doing stuff at 30MHz isn't free, if it wakes up sleeping cores
23:49:25saratogaZagor: the codec thread will boost the CPU more frequently the less of the CPU's time it gets

23:52:38amiconn+80 bytes on arm though, and +36 on coldfire
23:52:43saratogai think the best solution would be to have the button code set a time stamp the last time a button changed, then have the normal CPU frequency change between 24 and maybe 45MHz depending on how recently a button was pressed
23:52:55kugelsaratoga: so my assumption that using a codec which effectively runs under 30MHz most of the time will yield inaccurate measurements when measuring "show wps" vs "show main menu/blank wps"?
23:52:58saratogathe WPS update speed could also respond

23:53:45amiconnsaratoga: The idea being discussed was switching to just using the post divider(s) for boostin gon PP
23:54:07saratogaamiconn: I'm not familar with how boosting actually works, how would that change things?
23:54:11amiconnThen boosting becomes essentially free, and can be done for the ui if a button is pressed
23:54:29saratogaah you mean it eliminates the transistion time?
23:55:05amiconnRight now we have to wait for pll relock, which takes ~500µs on PP. Just switching the post divider (or even using the post-divider selector) takes maybe 1µs
23:55:29saratogathat'd be nice
23:55:40amiconnThing is, we can do this on PP and on AS3525. We cannot do this on coldfire
23:56:05amiconnSo we have to maintain 2 boosting strategies if we decide to go that route
23:56:20amiconnIt also means that we are limited in the choice of frequencies
23:56:50ameyerbut what would this new strategy do to power consumption while unboosted
23:56:59amiconnnothing
23:57:01saratogathough even 500us isn't bad, thats only 15uA at 30MHz
23:57:31saratogaor rather 15uA of average additional boost current
23:57:45saratogai think my units are getting mixed up here
23:57:54ameyershould be in watts, I think
23:57:58amiconnBut we would be able to boost/unboost more often, i.e. boost for ui operation (less sluggishness even witha low unboosted clock on G5), and having a smaller pcm buffer
23:58:15saratogayeah that would be great
23:58:38ameyerwhat about power consumption while boosting part of the time?
