00:11:42ShadowGazerI'm trying to install RB on a sansa e280 version 1. When I run the utility it does not recognize my sansa. I made sure it was a version 1 before I bought it. Can anyone give me any ideas?

00:34:16Genbuyeah i did
00:34:23Genbui got a lot of fonts on here
00:35:05pixelmawhich theme do you use and which player do you have exactly?
00:35:28Genbui'm using GreyScaleVP on RockBox iPod 4G Grey
00:40:43pixelmalooks like this one is using a 13 pixels tall font - http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/UnicodeFonts suggests that "13-Fixed" is a same-sized alternativewith korean support
00:41:21Genbuwill that support all east-asian?
00:41:33Genbucuz i dont wanna lose my japanese support either
00:41:39Unhelpfuli really wish there were a nice, open vector unicode font from which to generate our unicode fonts
00:42:13pixelmaGenbu: did you have a look at the table in the wiki I linked too?
00:42:17pixelmas/too/to
00:42:24Genbuwoops didnt see it
00:44:53pixelmayou could also try different themes which already use one of the more "complete" fonts. I think UniCatcher should be available for you
00:45:19Genbui like the look of GreyVP tho XD
00:45:32GenbuFixed will have to do even if the periods and colons look ick

03:54:43TheSkunkManhow can i find out if a target player uses the swcodec?
03:55:42LloreanYou mean a current target, or a new player you're investigating?
03:55:53TheSkunkMana new player
03:56:18LloreanReally, I would assume you're looking for two things
03:56:41LloreanIf it's hardware codec there will be some dedicated hardware.
03:56:57LloreanIf it's software codec, there will be actual code in the firmware for playing the supported codecs.
03:57:25TheSkunkManthanks
03:57:26LloreanOdds are very high any modern player (or really, most players that support more than PCM + MP3) are what we call software codec

07:59:25amiconnJdGordon: Yes, mpeg.c does call lcd_getstringsize() to make sure that the necessary glyphs for the files just buffered are added to the font cache.
07:59:27lucentI am just panicking
07:59:47amiconnIt's not odd at all to do it there - at the time of buffering, the disk is spinning anyway
08:00
08:00:02JdGordonamiconn: yeah, ok.. just feels odd.. but I get it
08:00:23amiconnSwcodec buffering does the same, or at least did at the time markun committed unicode support
08:00:34amiconnIf it no longer does, it should be readded
08:01:01JdGordonI cant say I've looked for it in swcoded.. just noticed it in hwcodec and thought it was odd
08:02:46JdGordonI think I want to move the elapsed time out of the mp3entry struct... It not used much outside of the wps and imo its causing problems there
08:03:12amiconnHwcodec doesn't have this annoying 2..3 seconds track change offset. It has its own buffering, and then there is no codec running in advance
08:04:02 Join sajmon [0] (n=ch4os@gen2.org)
08:04:37amiconnActually there is a slight offset which is bitrate dependent, due to the internal buffer of the MAS. This offset is so short with normal music that you don't notice it
08:05:13 Quit sajmon (Client Quit)
08:05:15JdGordonThe problem I've hit is with playback having to do special handling with the id3's in the last 2 sec of the track.. I dont see why things wanting the elapsed time dont call playback_elapsed() or something instead of gettingt he current tracks id3 first and using that
08:05:19amiconnIf someone uses 8kbps mp3 files (and we had such reports in the past), it increases to about 1 second

10:39:57JdGordonI'm not sure... it just sets a number which threw me off... should be ok now
10:41:02JdGordonI'm starting to think it might just be simpler if playback sends an event when the current track finished buffering but before the next track starts actually playing
10:45:46JdGordonAm I wrong in thinking the id3 struct returned by audio_crrent_track() should be valid for the entire time the current track is playing? so its only ever called once per track?

11:03:39Zagorpcm knows track boundaries, but in a convoluted way (different callbacks). I would like to change that to a more straight-forward flag solution instead.
11:08:14Zagoris it really correct that set_cpu_frequency() in system-iriver.c calls timers_adjust_prescale(CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_MULT, false); for all speeds? shouldn't it use different multiplier for each speed?

11:17:00*B4gder can't even spell gti
11:17:13JdGordonI thought I had things working, but playback is too eager to overwrite the prvious tracks id3 data... I'm thinking of have 2 mp3entry structs which get used round-robbin in playback, this way the struct will be valid for the whole track, but is difficult to get working
11:19:17ZagorJdGordon: that sounds like a workaround rather than a fix?
11:19:57JdGordonwell, playback needs to be able to work with 2 seperate tracks at the same time.. only for a very short time, but its needed
11:20:55Zagorisn't it a rather long time if crossfade is active?
11:21:14JdGordonprobably.. comepletly forgot about crossfade
11:22:37JdGordonthe problem is where something calls audio_current_track() at the start of a track and not again untill the next track... once the transitioning starts playback starts overwriting that struct.. If its called during the transition it works befcause there is special handling which imo is a problem
11:24:18Zagorbut do we really need to serve two different id3 structs? shouldn't we rather be more accurate about when the track change, and hence struct replacement, occurs?
11:24:28JdGordonwhat I meant before was that playback has id3[2]... the first track would use id3[0] and the next would use id3[1], the next uses id3[2], etc.. this would need to be kept simple and just use pointers to keep track fo which to use
11:25:13ajbZagor: sure... the patch only affects git/git-svn users. I'd like to get it in because the current code freezes on pure git repos

11:26:35JdGordonthe other option is having playback give the codec (and itself) a temp id3 struct to use in the transition, as soon as the track really fiishes it does a memmove to the usual struct
11:26:45JdGordonwhich i guess is the same thing, but less complicated?

12:38:26*Nico_P goes to read
12:39:01ZagorI think we should remove much of the abstractions from playback. there's way too much hot-potatoing going on.
12:39:47Nico_Pwhat do you mean by "hot-potatoing"?
12:40:18Zagorfunctions that merely pass data forward to another function/queue/thread
12:41:23Zagorhowever I'm chiefly annoyed by all the callbacks. they make the code _very_ hard to follow.
12:42:12kugellucent: "the wheel still triggers a button press unless I apply the MAX_WIDTH 8 patch for graphics though" that is actually too weird for my mind
12:45:13Zagorpcmbuf_callback_queue_post() is a typical hot potato function. why is it there? it's even used in only one place.
12:46:21*JdGordon seems to have chosen the wrong place to do the pointer swapping
12:49:44jhMikeSZagor: Because normal kernel interrupt masking doesn't mask audio interrupts and some special handling is needed or corruption is possible.

14:54:26JdGordonim seeing the 2nd on my h300 which i wasnt seeing on the sim
14:55:27kugelJdGordon: lag, most certainly. let me describe it: I ffw to near the track end (e.g. 10s before), then I watch at the track and next track info
14:55:39LambdaCalculus37This is strange... I rolled a Clip build from a clean SVN trunk, and my Clip still freezes when trying to start up.
14:55:49PaulJamJdGordon: could your patch influence the availability of the next-track info? it seems to be missing for tracks that are not yet buffered.
14:55:58kugel2s before the end, every info that scrolled, stopped scrolling, started again, stops again (all within 0.5s), and then works normally for the rest 1.5s

14:56:21*LambdaCalculus37 catches kugel's attention
14:56:25kugeland I tried that
14:56:30Zagorwhat the ...? I get "bad checksum" from the bootloader on my clip build.
14:56:48kugelLambdaCalculus37: yea, delete the config.cfg. the clip apparently creates corrupt files
14:57:17LambdaCalculus37kugel: Will do.
14:57:23kugelI'm having this problem too. Only on the clip though, not on my fuze
14:57:28JdGordonPaulJam: its possible.. I might need to work something out so the wps is told when that info is available
14:57:41LambdaCalculus37kugel: I kept wondering what the hell was causing it.
14:58:04*LambdaCalculus37 deletes his config.cfg from the Clip
14:58:08kugelJdGordon: I tested this case, and it seemed to work. I skipped the tracks in view buffering until it was nearly empty, then I went to the wps and it showed next track info fine

18:29:46preglowLambdaCalculus37: yeah, LIBRARY_PATH was it, hopefully standard macports install (mine was botched) uses that
18:29:50preglowso keep the makefile as is
18:29:55LambdaCalculus37Okay.
18:30:49gevaertsjhMikeS: I don't entirely understand how r19762 changes behaviour on the usb bus
18:33:27kugelLambdaCalculus37: does it say boot at the version string or not? if not, it loaded rockbox already, and rockbox fails to start
18:33:27jhMikeSgevaerts: It changes alot and prevents misbahavior when threads decide not to ack.
18:34:01*gevaerts reads some more
18:34:27jhMikeSgevaerts: one thing that interests me is if it is legal to mount as USB mass storage but not present any storage as an alternative for charging only.
18:34:31gevaertsjhMikeS: if I read the code correctly, now it is possible for both the host and rockbox to access the filesystem simultaneously...
18:35:07jhMikeSnope
18:36:09gevaertsIt sets exclusive_storage_access to true on connect, before rockbox has released the filesystem
18:36:29LambdaCalculus37kugel: It does.
18:36:39jhMikeSno more possible than before since the ata thread doesn't call idle notifys. all other threads are in wait. if no thread acks, the driver is never activated. it behaves similarly to having an ATA bridge.
18:37:20gevaertsWhy are all other threads in wait?
18:37:51jhMikeSif they ack, then they have acked that they have released the disk and are waiting for disconnect.
18:37:55kugelLambdaCalculus37: hm, you should try formatting :/ I needed to several times too with my clip to make it working somehow
18:38:18gevaertsSure, but if they don't ack they could be anywhere

18:41:31Unhelpfulmaybe we could suppress the "make reconf" warning during make reconf?
18:41:42gevaertsAs to your other question : it's not possible to have a mass storage device with no volumes (because the number is given back as MAX LUN, which is zero based). It would be possible to present a removable drive with nothing inserted, or a small ramdisk with a text file explaining things
18:41:47Unhelpfulkugel: the bitmaps, did any break? ;)

18:42:25Unhelpfulthat's ok. do you know what width the largest cover on your fuze is?

18:42:51kugelUnhelpful: album art? they're all 150x150
18:42:56jhMikeSgevaerts: I did try presenting no media ready and Windows accepted it and configure it without drives (using the storage driver instead of the charging only driver).
18:43:34Unhelpfulkugel: we never determined the size at which corruption starts. i think w=150 might be too small... maybe start with the test bitmap just under that, and work up from there?
18:43:58jhMikeSgevaerts: But you're saying that strangness is illegal?
18:44:02jhMikeSkugel: sure

18:44:26kugeljhMikeS: I don't quite understand what this commit did r19714. And it seems to cause corruption on the clip
18:44:30gevaertsjhMikeS: I'm not sure I follow.
18:44:48Unhelpfulfine, if you want... but i suspect that we may be safe up to at least 150, since you said no AA corrupted.
18:44:58kugeljhMikeS: funman seemed to introduce some retry, but the only time he checks it, he sets it false before
18:45:22kugelthat's in this while(1) data transfer loop. I don't see retry being conditional or something
18:45:39Unhelpfulalso, the greyed-out icons that were corrupted in your WPS screenshot are background, not part of the bitmap strips... so, again, it's a wide bitmap that's corrupted
18:46:11UnhelpfuljhMikeS: i have card readers that let you hotplug the card, rather than the reader, with varying degrees of success
18:46:20kugelUnhelpful: the progressbar was a bit corrupted too

18:51:28kugeljhMikeS: _init or _signal? other code seems to do wakeup_signal
18:51:44saratoga2switching USB ports fixed it, how odd
18:52:33jhMikeSgevaerts: I took a guess at trying to expose a USB device but no actual storage (which it seemed to strangely cooperate with pretty well).
18:52:36gevaertssaratoga2: did switching help, or is it just random? I know that if it's set to Auto instead of MSC it sometimes works, but not always
18:52:54saratoga2i don't have an auto option on mine, and its been working fine with windows for 2 years now
18:53:05kugeljhMikeS: any idea for the retry? the commit message said "Retry blocks transfer if a problem happened ", but I can't see how it is determined whether a problem occured
18:53:51gevaertssaratoga2: in that case it's probably just showing some sansa OF randomness...
18:53:53jhMikeSkugel: Code that wants to wakeup a thread waiting for something to finish calls _signal. init just initializes the object for use (like mutex_init, queue_init, etc.). It's like mutex_lock, semaphore_wait, or queue_wait(_w_tmo).
18:54:27***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
18:54:38jhMikeSwakeup signal is analagous to queue_post, semaphore_release, mutex_unlock, etc.
18:55:04kugeljhMikeS: ok, I don't see wakeup_init in that file, it's presumably done in another file?
18:55:25kugellooking at creative zvm dma, there's no wakeup_init either
18:55:33jhMikeSkugel: It should be initialized. No kernel object should ever be used without calling the _init.
18:55:59kugeloh, nevermind, I found it
18:56:05jhMikeSAnd no kernel object should have init called more than once unless it is guaranteed to not be in use at the time.
18:56:50jhMikeSOf course we could add loads of verification code too :)

19:05:38jhMikeSThe e200 would fail to read the main device after an SD card insertion and it appeared needed to retry the first transfer after that. For the SD it just makes it not give up so easily.

19:18:18kugeljhMikeS: so how to determine a unsuccessful transfer?
19:19:09kugelah, I think I know how it's supposed to work
19:20:06kugelthe ISRs may set retry = true, and those seem to happen between retry = false and if (!retry) (e.g. within wakeup_wait)
19:20:33jhMikeSit looks based off ata-sd-pp.c so you can see that in original form.
19:22:12jhMikeSkugel: Yes, the interrupt will set retry to true if there is an error and wakeup the waiting thread

19:24:27kugelsaratoga2: oh, apparently -b was wrong, try without
19:24:28jhMikeSretry should probably be volatile since it's modified out of the normal flow. The compiler could optimize away a reload of the value after waktup_wait (strictly speaking).

20:59:08amiconnBut even if it is, the init still writes to PLLCR, potentially causing a glitch if not setting the bypass bit first

21:01:27amiconnAnd that running-out-of-data and restart probably happens quite often when browsing with voice enabled
21:01:37kugel_yes, loading them in rockbpaint
21:01:44jhMikeSthe pcm filters for an actual change, so if pcm_set_frequency didn't actually change the samplerate value, it is skipped

22:16:09lucentunless you need microSD slot support, the Clip is a great player

22:17:08*Unhelpful points out that 26 isn't a multiple of 8 ;P
22:17:13preglowZagor: 24 mhz seems a bit low, what's the next higher possibility?
22:17:18fenugrecah that's it - the microSD was definitely something I didn't like about the clip
22:17:40fenugrec*lack of microSD
22:17:48lucentfenugrec: the other target in active development and easily available is the Fuze
22:18:27Lloreanpreglow: Well, it encourages getting GUI boosting working
22:18:59lucentUnhelpful: does BM_MAX_WIDTH have to be a multiple of 8?
22:19:10lucentI know that's what you suggested to do earlier, I did not ask why
22:19:23saratoga2preglow: if you've got zero cost boosting, 24mhz is perfect
22:19:43Lloreanfenugrec: Are you planning on doing development work? As a user, Rockbox is essentially the same on most players so a new port is pretty similar to an old port.
22:19:45fenugrecok. Well, I didn't want to spend much more money, so I as hoping there might be some people who wanted a v1 (because of the much more complete Rockbox port)
22:19:46saratoga2then the GUI code can just boost whenever it runs and you'll save a lot of power verses keeping it at 45mhz all the time
22:19:51preglowsaratoga2: true enough
22:20:22gevaertsfenugrec: try on the forums. People here are likely to have a v2 if they want one :)

22:21:38fenugrecYeah, I guess the developper channel isn't quite the right place to ask
22:22:05Lloreanfenugrec: You may be better off with a developed port. You can still hack on it in the form of coming up with new features, etc, while not having to deal with the incompleteness in areas you may not be able to actually complete.
22:22:08Unhelpfulit's also the support channel...

22:22:42Zagorpreglow: yes 24MHz is a bit low for now. but if we implement zero-wait boost we can use lots more small boosts for example in lcd_update, so a lower base frequency is likely possible.
22:23:14Unhelpfulhere's the 220px image: unhelpful.cleansoap.org/test-220.zip">http://unhelpful.cleansoap.org/test-220.zip

22:23:46fenugrecLlorean: sure, if I end up keeping my v1 I'll be able to try some stuff with it. but I wanted a v2, boo-hoo.. :-(
22:24:13Zagoractually it's 22Mhz. I wrote wrong.
22:24:19Lloreanfenugrec: A v2 basically means "it's harder to hack on because you don't know if the bugs are your own, or due to things not being complete yet" unless you're planning on working on low-level stuff yourself.
22:24:28amiconnUnhelpful: Did you see my question?
22:25:53Unhelpfulamiconn: the fixed-size array did not take into account that greylib might round up the display width or height
22:26:40amiconnAh, didn't think of that detail (even though I coded it...)
22:27:08preglowZagor: the whole argument of boosting being free had me sold anyway, it doesn't matter too much :)
22:27:30Unhelpfulit was just based on what i'd measured as the used size on one target... greylib init would likely fail on some
22:29:29saratoga2what was the technical obstical to free boosting on PP?
22:29:51fenugrecLlorean: I did intend to do some probing with my scope, & other fairly low-level stuff (there's perhaps still some hardware work to do on the v2, i.e. for the buttons? JTAG support was also something I wanted to test..)

23:02:35Zagorthe mp3 skipping issue looks like a pcmbuf bug. it's jumping all over the place.
23:04:56Zagorhowever my 320kbit test tracks work a lot better with working boost. still buggy, but much less.
23:05:02lucentUnhelpful: I am prevented from viewing the output that rockpaint loads with test-220 because of some hideous bug that exits rockpaint
23:05:12*lucent stabs, kills, stabs again
23:07:05amiconnZagor: Imo 24MHz are too low for unboosted. I don't lik ethe reduction of the boosted frequency as well. It means that e.g. the already struggling mpegplayer (on colour coldfire targets) will be struggling even more
23:08:17Zagoramiconn: things will be very different if/when we use short boosts. you can't compare the speeds directly.
23:08:30amiconnFor some cases I can
23:08:55Zagorwe could introduce a max mode for mpegplayer. in fact I have toyed with that idea for the gigabeats too.
23:09:01amiconnRight now the greylib doesn't need to boost on H1x0 and M5. CPU load due to the grey isr is around 45%
23:09:33Zagorit doesn't matter if it needs to boost. boosting is free.
23:09:45Zagorthat's the whole point
23:09:46amiconnIf you halve the unboosted clock, you push the cpu load near 100% - meaning the greylib would need to boost in order to leave enough cpu cycles for the rest of the plugin
23:10:39amiconnAnd it cannot use micro-boosts, because every boost/unboost causes a bit of timer period jitter
23:10:54amiconnThe greylib needs a stable timer for steady display
23:11:14amiconnAnd boosting is not free in terms of power consumption
23:11:19Zagorthey greylib is an edge case. we're not designing the whole of rockbox around greylib.
23:11:42Zagoryes it is

23:14:11kugelthe suspicion was due to heavy slowness at the beginning of AAC playback
23:14:29Zagoramiconn: in any case, this is a test. we naturally should optimise this as everything else. I have not recalculated the waitstates either.
23:14:38amiconnThis is because these are integer multiples of the base frequencies. We could use fractional ones, at the cost of loosing a little timer precision
23:15:22amiconnThe higher the denominator of the fraction, the more timer precision we'd loose. But then PP timers use an 1MHz base, so using half-base wouldn't be that bad
23:17:37amiconnHmm, #9797 is only for irivers, not for iaudios
23:17:51Zagoroh, mistake
23:18:28ZagorI'll just edit the description.
23:18:55Zagornah, add a comment and then fix the patch tomorrow
23:18:59amiconniAudios have 2 system-*.c files, one for MCF5250 (M5/X5), and one for MCF5249 (M3)

23:21:28bluebrotherBagder: did you see my hilight earlier?
23:21:59Bagderyeah, but I'm a bit occupied tonight with other duties so I selected to ignore it for now :-)
23:22:25bluebrotherok ... you think it's a feasible way to go?
23:23:02Bagdersure
23:23:43bluebrothernice. Lets look into that another day then.
23:25:32*amiconn wonders whether 120MHz and 30MHz (actually 120.4224 and 30.1056 MHz) would be nice CPU clock frequencies for coldfire

23:29:24TheSkunkManif i would start and try to port rockbox to a player, after i gather information on the player would the next step be to edit tools/config?
23:29:59BagderTheSkunkMan: www.rockbox.org/wiki/NewPort is the first basics

23:31:25TheSkunkManthats what I was doing right now
23:32:32TheSkunkManwhat i didn't understand was the tool and toolset variables
23:33:00Bagdertool is what is used to produce the binary that the bootloader loads
23:33:23Bagdertoolset is a list of all tools needed to build a full rockbox for the target
23:33:44Bagder... available in the tools/ dir
23:34:18ZagorTheSkunkMan: have you figured out the OF file format already?

23:40:27amiconnsaratoga2: [19:01:19] <saratoga2> in case anyone is wondering, the e200v1 boosts to 79.71MHz +/_ the accuracy of our timers
23:40:57amiconn^ Did you reinvent the wheel? There's a performance estimation based on loop execution speed in the debug menu for PP targets

23:43:13kugelamiconn: it seems you don't have an opinion on the backlight fading discussion?
23:43:35amiconnI do, but I'm really lazy when it comes to writing mails :(
23:44:02Bagderno mail, no opinion ;-)

23:47:31linuxstbTheSkunkMan: Generally the first step on a new port is to figure out the firmware upgrade process, and to work out how you will run your own code in a safe way (i.e. a way you can recover from when it inevitably crashes). You can do this outside the Rockbox code.
23:47:37kugelZagor: can you confirm that boosting is working now, besides that mp3 runs better?
23:48:09Zagorkugel: yes, my boost test plugin shows this very clearly
