#rockbox log for 2009-07-09

00:00:55domonokypixelma: the problem is, that we as developers are too familiar with those words, so we are bad a creating good description for users..
00:01:21saratogawincent: so hopefully you'll be able to remove all fp code from performance sensitive parts of pd?
00:01:36domonokyi just cant image a better word for the place where your device is connected, which fits mac/linux/windows.
00:01:55 Quit jgarvey ("Leaving")
00:02:40saratogaflyback: my point is that if no one is working on a port to your device then it is not a good bet that there will be a port to your device
00:02:44saratogaunless you're planning to do it
00:03:09flybackI understand that
00:03:11pixelmadoes it need to be "mount point" there too? Although I guess for bootloader installing things on the player there should be some precision...
00:03:14flybackI have no problem with that :)
00:03:40wincentsaratogalab: It's done already. I wanted to say that the performance of one oscillator is already tested. Most likely the system is much more capable, only I have not tested it yet.
00:04:07saratogawincent: so what does the floating point code actually handle?
00:04:54wincentsaratogalab: Control signals, like the value of frequency for an oscillator.
00:05:14wincentsaratogalab: In the example it is a constant.
00:05:34domonokypixelma: if you think you can improve the texts, please do it :-)
00:05:51 Join Sajber^ [0] (n=Sajber@h-142-185.A213.priv.bahnhof.se)
00:06:07saratogawincent: are you sure that doesn't impose a performance cost? likely that value would be feed into a call to cos(), which will be extremely painful on ARM
00:06:21saratogaor does the code implement its own fixed point trig functions?
00:06:30pixelmadomonoky: not sure I actually can but I'm trying to keep that in mind
00:06:33 Quit barrywardell (Remote closed the connection)
00:07:24domonokypixelma: i also appreciate non-code patches, just tell us the dialog/desciription and the new text :-)
00:08:59pixelmathe German translation of "mount point" though... it was even less descriptive to me but I don't know of many "clean" German computer terms...

00:11:16wincentsaratogalab: It converts the frequency value from floating-point to fixed-point one, using a floating-point addition and a shift. The oscillator itself uses a very big cosine table.

00:30:01gevaertsbertrik: if you manage to get the main rockbox binary running with usb, you can use the ramdisk driver to get a full rockbox on it to work on plugins and codecs. it needs some tricks in main.c (basically enable early USB for software USB), but it works
00:31:03bertrikah, interesting idea!
00:31:47gevaertsI've done it at some point on my ipod mini
00:31:48bertriklike give it 2 MB RAM for running rockbox and 14 MB for the RAM filesystem
00:32:10gevaertsyes. I'd probably go for 8/8 or 4/12, but that's the general idea

00:33:58gevaertsThe only problem is that it's not persistent, and it's bigger than the nor flash, so you have to fill it over usb

00:56:23linuxstbBTW, why is that function in firmware? hwcodec recording?
00:57:35amiconnIt changes the behaviour so that it catches pre-existing numbers regardless of length
00:57:42gevaertsamiconn: I think it makes sense
00:58:50gevaertslinuxstb: things like if it's considering to write "file01.whatever" and "file1.whatever" is already there, it will go on to 2
00:59:40amiconnIt was moved to firmware/ because screendump uses it, and was also moved to firmware/. See http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi?view=rev&revision=19967

05:21:19Unhelpfulwhat do people think about trying to mostly eliminate -mlong-calls on ARM targets? as i understand it *most* calls could be made short, and short calls are faster, and smaller code, since they eliminate a load-from-memory for the function address...

05:24:19UnhelpfulJdGordon: the down side is that calls that are "too far" must be made long calls. on the beast at least, this means calls between iram and dram (call site is in one, target function in the other). such calls would need to be explicitly made long... jhmikes had worked up a long call macro for this purpose a while ago, while trying to make a specific function short-called, because there were a few places where it couldn't be.
05:24:38FlynDiceUnhelpful: I thought funman did that along with the mmu/dcache patch, is there something that leads you to beleive he did not?
05:25:33UnhelpfulFlynDice: did he? it looks like many arm targets still use it...
05:25:56Unhelpfulor are those specifically the MMU-less ones?
05:27:00FlynDiceHe rearranged the iram and dram virtual addresses to get rid of the long calls I think, I could be mistaken but I beleive it is so.
05:28:08FlynDicewell for AMS he did, I am rather single minded...
05:29:18Unhelpfulit looks like for the gigabeats long calls are gone. they are still there for all arm9 targets (i think none of these are supported?) and for any arm7tdmi target that doesn't call arm7tdmicc with a "short" argument in tools/configure

05:31:19Unhelpfuli'm assuming we *can't* do short calls everywhere via address fixing on the remaining arm7 targets, but it would still be possible if it's only an issue for iram<->dram calls to use a long call macro that is defined to do nothing special on other targets

06:05:40LloreanBut there have been some arguments against it.
06:05:47JdGordonwith an option so users can use them for volume if wanted
06:06:04JdGordonthey are a bit hard to reach in the right hand though

08:19:15amiconnFor this to work properly, gcc would need to take both the section of the caller and callee into account so that one could specify those section pairs which need long calls, but it doesn't do that

08:19:20Unhelpfulthe only way i can see at this point is to insert our own memset/memcpy/memmove calls... but then somebody could add code that introduces a new auto-call to one of them, and it will be broken for no reason they're likely to understand.
08:20:09Unhelpfulor to use a solution like the mem function wrappers that the plugins used to have
08:22:35*amiconn accepted that there is no solution to this using gcc quite a while ago
08:22:46amiconnMaybe gcc 8.0 will allow that...
08:25:43amiconnIt's not like all functions are long called atm. Static functions are always short-call. This is a gcc bug and the reason why STATICIRAM exists
08:27:08Unhelpfulno, i'm getting the impression we couldn't drop -mlong-call. we could go the ridiculously invasive route, and add short_call attributes everywhere, and use a macro to perform explicit long calls when calls cross in/out of iram. to get a benefit out of that we'd end up having to go through adding those attributes to every non-static function, though. :/
08:30:23 Quit drteazy ("Page closed")
08:30:44GodEaterUnhelpful: I'm not expert, but could the short calls be bundled into one location and wrapped with a #pragma no_long_calls instead ?
08:30:52GodEaters/not/no
08:31:13GodEaterinstead of adding short_call attributes to them all individually ?
08:36:27amiconnThe fundamental flaw here is that gcc only looks at single functions, not at caller/callee pairs
08:37:12amiconnAn iram function could be short-called from another iram function, but must be long-called from a dram function.
08:37:25amiconnSame for the opposite direction
08:37:42Unhelpfulamiconn: yes, but if we can easily mark the bulk of functions as short-called, that leaves a fairly small number of cases to fix up. and as long as gcc-inserted mem* calls are affected by -mlong-call...
08:39:00 Quit safetydan ("Leaving.")
08:41:11Unhelpfuljhmikes had worked up a long-call macro a while ago, because he'd wanted to flag some particular function as short-called, but had one instance where it needed a long call. it's, um, more than a little ugly, but you get the same asm out of gcc with it as you would if the function were labeled as long-called
08:42:34 Nick J-23|away is now known as J-23 (n=zelazko@unix.net.pl)
08:42:37Unhelpfulit's non-trivial get gcc to call a function by address when it thinks it should call it by offset. he and i both tried a number of approaches and never came up with a pure-C approach - in the end it took an inline asm with "ldr %0, =function" that assigned its address to a pointer.
08:43:59amiconnhmm
08:44:26amiconnJust a quick idea - would it be possible to have a macro that turns an ordinary function call into a call-via-pointer?
08:44:53Unhelpfulthat is pretty much exactly what i have.... let me pastebin the ugly thing, just a sec
08:44:56amiconnCalling a function pointer is essentially a long call
08:45:30amiconnYou need a pointer of the correct function type - and in an automatic way

08:53:14Unhelpfulif that #pragma can be used to force all explicit function calls to be short, it shouldn't be hard to add L_CALL() around the ones that we know cross in or out of iram. and of course L_CALL could be a no-op for platforms where it's not needed.

08:55:33*JdGordon will annoy gevaerts about it tomorow :)
08:56:56Unhelpfula quick test shows that that should work. it may work better than we want it to, as apparently putting it in some always-included header will lead to it being impossible to force long call except by using an explicit function pointer. it even disables the long_call attribute, it would appear. :)
09:00
09:00:22amiconnWhy do you need the asm at all?
09:01:41*amiconn admits that he doesn't understand that thing completely
09:02:00Unhelpfuli tried just producing a pointer to the function in the statement expr. gcc converts that to a short call. casting to uintptr_t and back also still gets you a short call, even if the uintptr_t is a separate temp variable.
09:02:30Unhelpfulit seems to be much smarter than we'd like in this case... which is funny considering how often it can fail to figure out similar problems.

12:57:42Torneyah, i was expecting it would be a number of seconds
12:58:18Tornethe only cost would be the binsize, which would be "a setting" and then probably one line of code somewhere.
12:58:45Torne(assuming that it's okay to not bother to wrap to previous track) :)

13:00:22robin0800Torne, a setting in music to go back to the beginning of the track?

13:03:52Torneand yes, it's intended to be useful for audio books
13:04:39robin0800Torne, How long from start of track to bookmark position
13:05:06Tornei don't see what the start of the track has to do with anything
13:05:17Torneand it would just be *one setting* applied to all bookmarks
13:05:25Tornenot for each bookmark, otherwise you'd just set the bookmarks earlier :)
13:06:13robin0800Torne, that's where I would like the bookmark to resume from
13:06:16 Quit daurn (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
13:06:34Torneoh, you mean you'd want to set it to "beginning of track"
13:07:02Tornethat's trivial also, but might make it two lines :)
13:09:35robin0800Torne, at the moment every time you turn the dap on you have to hold rewind to do this or if possible only turn off at the end of a track
13:10:15Tornethis isn't anything to do with resuming playback
13:10:19Tornethis is specifically for bookmarks
13:11:29robin0800Torne, This is bookmark on stop and resume last bookmark
13:12:06Tornewell, whatever. i was just asking if anyone cared at all. you do :)
13:13:09robin0800Torne, YES IF YOU COULD IMPLEMENT IT FOR MUSIC AS WELL
13:13:41*Torne arghs
13:13:44GodEaterrobin0800: you do know rockbox can't tell the difference between an audiobook and music don't you ?
13:13:51Tornethere's no difference between.. oh there we go

13:21:30gevaertsTorne: one problem would be that (as far as I understand) with many codecs you can't really just tell them to go back three seconds
13:21:53gevaertswell, you can tell them, but you can't really predict where exactly they will end up
13:21:58Tornegevaerts: i don't think it would work any worse than bookmarks already do
13:22:06 Quit __lifeless (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
13:22:10Tornewha ti was imagining is just literally subtracting the time from the bookmark position before doing anything
13:22:18gevaertsbookmarks also keep a byte offset I think (or was it number of frames?)
13:22:25Tornereally?
13:22:40gevaertsI'm not sure, but I seem to remember they do, yes
13:22:55*Torne looks
13:23:16Tornedamn, so they do
13:23:23Tornewell, they keep "a big load of numbers"
13:23:43GodEaterpresumably because of that very problem with codecs
13:23:45gevaertsI really would like the feature, I just have my doubts on how feasible it is
13:24:11Torneif you tell a codec to go back three seconds is it likely to end up going back *less*?
13:24:19Torneor hugely, uselessly more? :)
13:24:37Tornecuz i wouldn't really care if it went back six seconds instead
13:25:16GodEaterTorne: as I understand it the problem can be hugely exacerbated in long audio book mp3s, where you can end up going back minutes
13:25:30GodEaterLlorean has more experience of it though I think
13:25:49Torneah.
13:27:01Torneit probably violates my effort/caring ratio threshold then

13:50:22Unhelpfulthe gigabeats apparently no longer use -mlong-call, either. it looks, though, like nearly all other supported arm targets do. there's a "short" argument to arm7tdmicc to drop tho -mlong-calls option, but only ifp7xx appears to use it.

13:54:36KoRnAgEHeya
13:55:02Tornehang on. can't you just get the linker to insert stubs using ip?
13:55:09UnhelpfulTorne: even if it can, it appears to use internal delcarations for memcpy and friends. if you don't pass it -mlong-calls, it always generates short calls for these functions when inserting them automatically.
13:55:37 Quit _lifeless (Remote closed the connection)
13:55:41TorneUnhelpful: it can't. it treats all functions with an explicit section as long calls, according to the docs
13:55:49Tornewhich means it will long-call between them too even in the same section
13:56:04Torneand yah, it's not going to listen to what you claim memcpy does. :)
13:56:13Tornesadly it assumes you are a standard C implementation for all that kind of thing
13:57:05Unhelpfulright, and the unnneed long-calls within the same region of memory are what i want to try to reduce. it may well be that the best we can hope to do is look for select often-called functions and give them a short_call attribute.

13:59:00Torneerm
13:59:13Tornethe docs for ld say the linker automatically inserts stubs for function calls which turn out to be too far away
13:59:23Tornewhich is as i thought :)
13:59:32KoRnAgERockbox can view images without plugins. right? o3o I'm sorry for such a noob question but I've been pissed at how putting my photos on the ipod firmware takes up more space than my HDD :s
13:59:33UnhelpfulTorne: really, the most ideal would be to re-do the calls at link time based on their actual relative addresses. i don't think that gcc is capable of modifying anything but addresses/offsets at link...
13:59:51TorneOoh, aha
13:59:53Tornethere we go
13:59:54UnhelpfulTorne: if it's doing that, i wonder why i get so many relocation errors at link?
14:00
14:00:00Torneit only works for EABI
14:00:08TorneWe need to fix rockbox to use an EABI toolchain then :)
14:00:30Unhelpfultry changing configure to use "arm7tdmicc short" for, say, e200. ;)
14:00:32Tornethen you can have no long calls and it will generate them when needed at a small cost in binsize
14:01:07Torneit doesn't rewrite the instructions, sadly, becaus ethat's too hard :)
14:01:53Torne"Farcalls stubs insertion is fully supported for the ARM-EABI target only, because it relies on object files properties not present otherwise."
14:02:15Unhelpfulwell, a short call is fewer instructions, since a long one much load an address
14:02:29Torneyes.
14:02:31 Quit Sajber^ (Success)
14:02:38Torneit inserts stub functions which the short calls are redirected to call instead
14:02:49Tornethe stub loads the address of the far function into ip and then branches to ip

14:03:41*Torne will test this out usin ghis eabi toolchain
14:03:49Tornei have no idea what issues we might face trying to build rockbox with eabi though

14:29:15Syriushello all
14:30:20SyriusI have restored my ipod via linux awhile back and have rockbox on it and I was wondering how do I get it to detect on windows vista that it is a storage device ?
14:30:36Syriusbecause when i use musikcube I am unable to see it
14:31:10Syriusit says that any portable media player is visible if windows sees it as a storage device
14:31:30Syriusthat it would be should under the devices menu in musikcube
14:31:46Syriusshowed*
14:32:33SyriusI can access it of course via windows just like any device
14:32:46SyriusI am just wondering why it is not showing up in musikcube
14:33:12SyriusI can play music from my ipod if I add the directory
14:33:19Syriusin musikcube though
14:33:48Syriusmaybe I need it in disk mode

14:34:35MarcGuay_Syrius: Perhaps musikcube is expecting an MTP connection?
14:34:45MarcGuay_When Rockbox provides a MSC?
14:36:02TorneUnhelpful: OK, autogeneration of stubs on ARM requires binutils 2.19 and *possibly* to be using eabi rather than oldabi, though i'm not sure about that
14:36:23Syriusmaybe
14:36:25TorneUnhelpful: it doesn't work for me because my arm-eabi toolchain i have handy only has binutils 2.18.1 :)
14:36:33Tornerockbox's is even older
14:36:48Torneso i guess on that front it's back to revisiting how to get rb to build with current gcc/binutils? :)
14:36:57Torne(which would probably also help compiling as thumb and various other things)
14:38:44Syriusmaybe MarcGuay
14:39:31Syriusthat would be cool if programs would offer a plugin to detect rockbox firmware and to treat the device as a storage device and to scan it for playable audio files

14:39:54SyriusI think they should seriously do that now since rockbox is user friendly now
14:39:57Tornemusikcube doesn't do MTP, it works fine with MSC
14:40:00Torneaccording to their website
14:40:05Torneso something else is wrong.
14:40:10Syriushmm
14:40:17Syriuswhat do you think it is Torne
14:40:28Tornesite says it treats any removable drive with music on equally
14:40:32Torneso doesn't matter if it's rockbox or not
14:40:39SyriusI see
14:40:39LloreanWell, if it's an iPod, it may be trying to treat it as an iPod rather than straight MSC.
14:40:40Syriushmm
14:40:48TorneAh, there is that
14:41:11Syriushow could I get it to think it is not an ipod ?
14:41:28Syriusin vista explorer window it shows up as removable disk
14:41:33Tornewebsite also implies that it doesn't have ipod support
14:41:35Syriusnot as ipod
14:41:37Tornebut that's less clear
14:41:59Syriusmaybe I should email them
14:42:00LloreanSyrius: iPods always show up as a removable disk, or should.
14:42:06Torneif it shows up in windows as a disk then it's pretty much guaranteed to be the program's fault, not ours
14:42:25Torneeither the program is treating it as an actual ipod and looking for iTunesDB, or it's just broken in some other way
14:42:30Syriuswell I wouldn't know I haven't used windows in years Llorean
14:42:49Syriuswell I am not saying it is Torne
14:42:59Torneyah, i'm just saying
14:43:09Tornethere's not a lot we can suggest other than trying to disable any ipod support it might have
14:43:17SyriusI just thought you guys would be knowledgeable enough to know how to fix this problem
14:43:34Torneit's unlikely that anyone here has used that program, so probably not :)
14:43:38LloreanUnfortunately, we can't fix problems with other software.
14:43:51SyriusI love that program for windows
14:44:00LloreanOur software tries to do things "right" and hopes other software doesn't make bad assumptions, some software does.
14:44:10Syriusit is the best software libre program for music player I have seen for windows
14:44:32Tornewe're not criticising your choice of audio player :)
14:44:45SyriusI highly recommended it
14:44:56SyriusI don't like itunes
14:46:51Syriusdo you think I should change my ipod to manually manage music in itunes Torne ?
14:47:12SyriusI hope that works in wine I really don't want to install that on my windows box
14:47:21Tornethat doesn't change anything on the ipod
14:47:25Tornethat's just a setting for how itunes treats it
14:47:33Syriusokay
14:47:43Syriushmm
14:47:53LloreanThe iTunes setting shouldn't change anything.
14:48:00LloreanYou need to find out if your software gives special treatment to iPods, and if it does, ask them to fix it to be more strict on what it decides is an iPod.
14:48:41Syriusokay Llorean
14:48:51Syriusthanks for your help and suggestions
14:50:02SyriusI think it is pretty cool that I can view images and play videos on a grayscale ipod but then again their was the grayscale gameboy

14:58:20LloreanSyrius: This channel is about Rockbox. If you're asking how to play music on your computer, that's really a question for something else.
14:58:28LloreanNone of Rockbox's features require management software.
14:58:53Syriusokay
14:59:46Syriusyeah but rockbox allows the ipod the ability to put music in a folder on your ipod which makes accessing the music different thus that is why I am asking here Llorean
15:00
15:00:11Torneit makes it the same as every other mp3 player :)
15:00:15Syriusbecause you don't need the apple itunes database file any more
15:00:51LloreanSyrius: But PC-side stuff like that is still off topic here. it's the same as playing music from any hard disk, internal or external.
15:01:00GodEaterSyrius: relying on your ipod to keep your entire music collection is bad idea. You *should* keep all your music on your PC as well. Otherwise you risking losing it all one day when you drop the ipod and spack the hard drive in it.
15:01:25Syriusum GodEater I back it up on dvds
15:01:34GodEaterexcellent idea :)
15:02:24Syriusbut most media player software for linux detects that it is an ipod and automatically treats it as such so then I can't play my music on it Llorean
15:02:50LloreanSyrius: And in every single one of those cases, you should be reporting the problem to the software provider.

15:06:45Tornethe ones which detect it as an ipod cna generally be told not to, either by disabling/removing the ipod plugin or by putting a special file on the device that says what kind of player it is and wat formats it supports
15:07:21SyriusI don't use kde GodEater
15:07:38n1sTorne: the reason that we've stuck with the gcc versions that we use is basically "they work" and the reward for an upgrade has been small to non existant, as in some cases things break, get slower/larger etc...
15:07:38Syriusthanks Torne
15:08:10Tornen1s: right. i guess sometime i'll try and see if it seems to work with binutils 2.19
15:08:14n1sbtw coldfire is the only arch using 3.4 all others are 4.x
15:08:22GodEaterSyrius: what's that got to do with it ? Neither do I.
15:08:28Torneand if so then it may be possible to make it generate longcall stubs on ARM at link time
15:09:11Syriusbecause it requires kde libraries GodEater
15:09:21GodEaterthat doesn't mean you need to run kde
15:09:29Syriusdoesn't go well with gtk

16:16:24saratogalabTorne: would it be possible to round to the nearest cacheline and then truncate?
16:16:50Tornesaratogalab: how to do it has been discussed in the tracker, you'd just use PIO for the start and end of the copy if they weren't aligned
16:17:00Torneand only DMA for cachelined aligned bits in the middle.
16:17:12Tornethat code just needs writing :)
16:18:01Torneoh great usb doesn't work now
16:18:07Tornei guess the system is too slow :)
16:18:12*Torne boots emergency disk mode. :)
16:26:44Syriushow can you check the version of rockbox from the command line Torne ?
16:26:58Tornelook in rockbox-info.txt
16:27:04Tornehas all the parameters it was built with
16:28:19SyriusTorne should I remove the .rockbox folder before I upgrade to 3.3 if my Version: r19569-081223 ?
16:28:46Torneshoul dbe fine to jus textract it over the top
16:28:56Syriusokay
16:28:59Torneif you removed the .rockbox folder you would lose all your settings etc
16:29:06Syriusyes I know
16:29:12Syriusokay just making sure
16:29:35Syriuscause I know with a lot of software it has problems if you do not first remove the software
16:29:40n1sSyrius: it should always be fine to just extract over the old .rockbox
16:29:54SyriusI had problems with that with deluge
16:30:06n1sin some rare cases of files being moved or renamed a few old will remain but it is harmless
16:30:14SyriusI just removed the preferenced folder and reinstalled and it was fine
16:30:35Syriusokay cool thanks Torne nls

17:22:23Torneso i can test dma a bit like that
17:22:57Tornei'm assuming cachelines are 32 bytes on PP5020? :)
17:23:40gevaertsI think so, yes. Have you looked at http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/memory_controller.txt ?
17:23:55Tornei haven't, no

17:29:05gevaertsTorne: the USB thing is for similar reasons, i.e. this way it worked. And if you're using 128k buffers anyway, aligning them to 32 bytes won't waste much anyway
17:29:07Grahackmcuelenaere: trying to install a pure lua lib which has this structure: libname/init.lua, I noticed that the Lua plugin couldn't reach it. http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-package.loaders says package paths can end with `?/init.lua` so we could go `#define LUA_PATH_DEFAULT "$/?.lua;" "$/?/init.lua;" VIEWERS_DIR"/?.lua;" VIEWERS_DIR"/?/init.lua;"` in rockconf.h. Works for me.
17:29:25Tornegevaerts: yeah. the problem with the ata code is it reads into all kinds of places in memory
17:29:53Torneyou can fiddle to get the audio buffer cache line aligned, but that won't help anything that calls read()
17:30:07Torneanywya the stats patch appears to work now i've painfully resynced it :)
17:30:24mcuelenaereGrahack: ok, I wondered why I removed that init part..
17:30:28mcuelenaerewonder*
17:30:39*Torne tries some usb to get some DMA going :)
17:31:07gevaertsTorne: I think that if USB and the audio buffer use aligned reads, we can do things like only using dma if things are aligned
17:31:25Tornegevaerts: that might be ok, yah, at least until someone is prepared to write the code to top-and-tail requests with PIO
17:32:01mcuelenaereGrahack: do we want the VIEWERS_DIR"/?/init.lua;" part though? I'm not sure that putting lots of Lua libs in VIEWERS_DIR is a good idea..
17:32:09*gevaerts doesn't think that "if you want performamce, align the thing" is really bad

17:41:43Torneso does the info on http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/memory_controller.txt (which talks about PP5024) definately apply to pp5020?
17:41:50Tornei have no idea wha tthe PP model numbers mean :)
17:42:16saratogalabPP5022 and PP5024 are the same basically aside from the DAC
17:42:27mcuelenaereGrahack: I'll look into this later, am busy atm
17:42:32saratogalabPP5020 is an older model thats fairly close to PP5022
17:42:50saratogalabPP5002 is the oldest and is much different and very slow, its only in the Ipod 3G and older
17:42:53Tornei can't imagine an olde rone having bigger cachelines
17:43:02Torneso it's probably ok to check for 16-byte alignment only
17:43:19saratogalabi think we can only do DMA on PP5020 and abvoe anyway
17:43:26Torneyeah, it's in ata-pp5020.c
17:48:59Torneok, i don't understand buffering.c :)
17:51:12BryanJacobsTorne: ask
17:51:58*BryanJacobs thinks there should be a master's degree in Rockbox buffering
17:52:28TorneBryanJacobs: i want to arrange for the buffering code's calls to the storage layer to request reads into 16-byte aligned regions :)
17:53:12BryanJacobsthat would be in buffering_thread
17:53:20BryanJacobslook for that method
17:53:33BryanJacobsprobably near Q_BUFFER_HANDLE it'll call buffer_handle
17:53:44BryanJacobsand then in the body of buffer_handle you'll find the storage-layer calls, eh?
17:54:26BryanJacobsline 635, exactly
17:55:40BryanJacobsthe issue is that the read request could be for < 16 bytes and you can't just waste space in the buffer - the codecs expect contiguous regions - so you can't actually guarantee aligned reads
17:55:59 Quit Grahack ("Leaving.")
17:55:59 Quit n00b81 ("Leaving")
17:56:54Torneit won't be unless it's the end of the file or the end of the buffer, though, no?
17:57:10BryanJacobscorrect
17:57:19BryanJacobsotherwise it'll be BUFFER_DEFAULT_FILECHUNK bytes
17:57:32BryanJacobserr BUFFERING_DEFAULT_FILECHUNK
17:57:54Torneso it doesn't need to realign itself at any point codecs would care about
17:58:03Torneas long as it was aligned correctly at the start of each handle and ata the wraparound point
17:58:48BryanJacobsyes, so you could just make the memory_handle correctly sized and alter add_handle to align it
17:59:59Dhraakellianis it possible to specify one font for the menu system and one for the wps?
18:00
18:00:05TorneDhraakellian: no
18:00:09Dhraakellianokay
18:00:33Dhraakellianthen I guess it's fortunate that Plain Text VP looks okay(ish) with the built-in font
18:00:49*BryanJacobs would like to have a different menu font as he likes the NerdSketch theme
18:01:03*BryanJacobs also has good eyesight and so likes small menu text
18:01:07TorneBryanJacobs: fix the multifont code to be acceptable then :)

18:01:57Tornebah, being paid :)
18:02:14Dhraakellianmy brother likes PlainTextVP with 08-Rockfont (which I set up for him), but he wants the (larger) default helvetica for the menu system
18:02:30saratogalabhes out of luck for now
18:02:39Dhraakellianwhat font is the built-in?
18:02:46Dhraakellianis it the same as schumacher clean?
18:03:06Torneyes
18:03:14Dhraakellianah
18:03:15Dhraakelliangood
18:04:01Dhraakellianbecause the PlainText VP theme specifies Schumacher Clean (although it looks better with 08-Rockfont)
18:04:24BryanJacobsI like how line 1281 has "register_buffering_callback" and "unregister_buffering_callback" listed but those functions don't actually exist in buffering.c
18:07:18Torneanyway, i need the *other* kind of alignment first, i think

18:41:43bertrikis there a rule of thumb for when to use a simple polling wait loop, and when to use a wakeup_wait/wakeup_signal?
18:42:28mcuelenaerebertrik: I think wakeup_wait is always preferred
18:42:43mcuelenaerewell of course not for very tiny microloops or so
18:44:44bertrikI would guess anything longer than the interrupt latency could use a wakeup*

20:38:54Dhraakellianthe only difference between the e200 and c200 is that the wheel is replaced by two volume buttons, right?
20:39:04JdGordon|the thing is tiny, so you have to rearrange your girp anyway
20:39:26JdGordon|and where does the brain mapping come in for up being wps and down being qs?

20:40:27JdGordon|the play picture is on the other button though
20:40:31pixelmaDhraakellian: yes but that is a quite important difference, especially since the volume button is quite a bit away from the main pad
20:40:31bertrikDhraakellian, the clip has no rec button and having no wheel means there nothing in the way of the left/right/up/down buttons
20:41:12JdGordon|the buggers should have put a microSD slot in and a wheel!
20:41:17pixelmahe asked about the c200 though
20:41:28kugelJdGordon|: you're too focussed on the pictures on the buttons...we ignore those on many targets
20:41:38JdGordon|no we dont...
20:41:46*Dhraakellian is watching the convo out of curiosity and such
20:41:47JdGordon|we go by them on far more than ignoring
20:41:57kugelI didn't say most
20:42:24kugela keymap which isn't totally insane is much more preferrable
20:42:41JdGordon|there needs to be some logic to it though...
20:42:54JdGordon|I shoudlnt have to open the manul to figure out how to use it
20:43:21kugeloh yea, and putting up/down which are on the side is clearly logical
20:43:30kugels/which ar//
20:43:56JdGordon|its a verticle bar... yes its bloody logical
20:44:04JdGordon|far more than using it for arbitrary commands
20:44:09bertrikI have a very hard time seeing the logic in it
20:44:24bertrikit even says "volume"!
20:44:34kugelshow me a player which doesn't have the navigation buttons on the front
20:44:35bertrikat least my clip does on those buttons
20:45:30*JdGordon| is now confused
20:45:46JdGordon|is bertrik agreeing with me or kugel?
20:45:51JdGordon|or neither
20:46:05kugelJdGordon|: He's not seeing the logic in your proposal
20:46:36kugelbecause there is no logic. even if we go that route to map functions to the fancy pictures, it doesn't work for volume
20:47:02JdGordon|it is ALOT harder to see the volume text than it is to see the pictures
20:48:40bertrikI want up/down/left/right navigation on the buttons around the select button, not up/down on volume. I prefer the volume buttons to control volume.
20:49:04kugelbut the PICTURES!
20:49:21*kugel stops being sarcastic
20:49:30*JdGordon| punches kugel in the nose
20:49:39JdGordon|I'm not saying we have to use the picutres..
20:49:50JdGordon|I'm saying having those actions on the volume button makes no sense
20:49:54amiconnDhraakellian: The built-in font uses the same glyphs as 08-Schumacher-Clean, but only the ISO8859-1 codepoints
20:49:55bertrikthe pictures should have meaning in the WPS, not in the menu IMO
20:50:09amiconnThe loadable 08-Schumacher-Clean goes beyond that
20:50:33JdGordon|HOME should goto the main menu though... not the bottom button which should be the context menu button
20:50:35Dhraakellianamiconn: ah
20:50:53*shotofadds starts his first D2 battery_bench (mp3 from SD). I'm going for a *pessimistic* 18hrs, since I've seen RB play FLACs from internal flash for a solid 24hrs, and that wasn't even on a full charge...
20:51:09shotofaddss/going for/expecting

20:51:24*Dhraakellian should do a batterybench on his Fuze

20:52:02Dhraakelliansee if it makes it all the way through
20:52:30pixelmashotofadds: tell us if it beats the M5L record :)
20:52:37kugelJdGordon: why should the bottom one context menu? It's on long select on the majority of targets
20:52:49kugelwe even changed it from bottom to long select on the e200
20:52:59pixelmaand the c200
20:53:10JdGordon|then both should goto menu
20:53:24shotofaddspixelma: now that would be impressive!
20:53:29Unhelpfulamiconn: right... and if we start using iram on beast we can map it wherever we want. can we possibly move iram's mapping on the other arm7tdmi targets, or is that not under our control?

20:55:38kugelshotofadds: does the d2 have some sort of sd_enable() to power down the sd when unused?
20:56:19shotofaddsat the moment we just turn the clocks off. I assume there's some way to power it down, but it's not done yet
20:57:10Dhraakellianhm... I've found that my e260 and Fuze don't appear to get full charge from my computer (only getting up to 95ish, give or take, according to the statusbar)
20:57:12amiconnSD cards do auto power down. So the only part that might need explicit powerdown would be the controller
20:57:32amiconnBut if you stop clocks, remaining power consumption should be very low
20:57:53shotofaddswe could disable the controller block, but like you say, I doubt it would make much difference
20:58:27kugelI think we're not doing much more on the samsas
20:58:54*shotofadds just copied the PP code ;-)

21:01:51Unhelpfulamiconn: the best thing i've tried so far, i think is just removing -mlong-call. we'll need stubs to handle gcc-generated calls to mem*, since we can't control how those are called, and there might *still* be some problems with static functions. it looks as if without -mlong_calls there's almost no way to get make a long call to a function that happens to be defined in the same file.
21:01:59kugelshotofadds: I suspected that when looking at the commit diff :)
21:02:23amiconnWhat about this eabi/binutils 2.19 thing? That sounds like a nice way to go - if it works
21:05:17Unhelpfulamiconn: i'm not sure. i don't really like the idea of having bunches of autogenerated stubs whenever a function is called that's too far away.
21:06:44amiconnBetter than unnecessary long calls I would expect
21:07:29Torneit should be reasonable, i think
21:07:47*shotofadds really should disable long-calls for the D2 build, since we don't use IRAM (yet)
21:08:03Torneit will try and use the same stubs as much as it can
21:08:46Tornethe stubbed branches obviously are one more instruction but a regular branch is cheap
21:09:39amiconnhttp://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/ld/NEWS?annotate=1.105&cvsroot=src line 72
21:11:05Unhelpfulso we'd be adding one instruction per function when some code calls that function out of range. and the speed cost is one relative branch per actual out-of-range call.
21:11:21kugeldomonoky: for deb packaging
21:11:25kugelnot for us..
21:11:46Torneyou'd be making most functoins smaller, not bigger
21:11:59domonokykugel: it not problem to build rbutil non-statically... so that can be the blocker..
21:12:05kugelassuming he also wants it to be in the debian/ubuntu/whatever repos
21:12:10domonokys/can/cant
21:12:25TorneN calls to a far function becomes N+2 instructions instead of 2N instructions
21:12:37domonokythe bigger problem is, that rbutil still changes often..
21:12:59Torneand yes, the far calls are slower by one relative branch, but it means that every other call can always be relative
21:13:28kugeldomonoky: I don't think that's a problem, except for debian stable maybe.
21:14:43kugelthis eabi thing seems to have a number of other differences to the old abi
21:14:45Torne(in fact 2N instructions plus at least one copy of the actual address depending how smart it manages to eb with the constant pools)
21:14:49Unhelpfulso, it's a code-size win vs long calls everywhere, except for functions that need exactly one long call. it's not *quite* as big a win as if we can use long calls exactly where we need them. the situation for speed is probably similar, since we're removing probably rather a few unnecessary long calls.
21:15:05domonokykugel: so if that also isnt a problem, its only lazyness that nobody made a package. :-) But i would expect that if we have packages, people will often use old rbutil versions, as the repositorys probably will have quite some lag.
21:15:11Tornekugel: it's not clear from the docs whether it's actually mandatory for it to be EABI for it to work
21:15:16Tornethe source implies it might work anyway
21:15:23Tornei've not got a suitable binutils installed so i've not tried it yet
21:15:33kugelI'm worried about the struct alignment thing

21:17:10SeismicMikeI'm in Windows and I don't know what to put down for the mount point because it doesn't give the device a drive letter
21:17:19SeismicMikeI can't figure out how to give it a drive letter.
21:18:18SeismicMikewait... nm.. that's when it was in MTP mode
21:18:27SeismicMikeI just switched it to MSC mode and it has a drive letter now...
21:18:35SeismicMike:)
21:18:40Tornekugel: EABI structs are often *smaller* though
21:18:51Tornekugel: we might have to fix places that were making assumptions about packing
21:18:57Tornebut you may find it's actually a memory win :)
21:19:19Unhelpfulasm that touches structs may be in trouble.
21:19:31Torneyes,
21:19:32kugelI'd willing to pay a bit memory for speedup due to alignment
21:19:45kugelUnhelpful: Do we have those?
21:19:48Tornekugel: what? no, it never packs stuff below its natural alignment
21:20:16Unhelpfulkugel: i'm responsible for at least one instance, jpeg_idct<width>h asm.
21:20:39kugel"Under the EABI there is no minimum and the alignment is determined by the types of the components it contains. " not sure what it means
21:20:40Unhelpfulsince the output is to an array of struct{ char;char;char; }
21:21:14TorneUnhelpful: so that ends up with 4-byte alignment atm, yes?
21:21:33kugelcould it mean the alignment is determined by the biggest datatype?
21:21:48Tornekugel: it means the alignment of the whole struct is whatever makes the types in it all aligned at once.
21:21:50bertrikis there anything special about the wakeup_XXX functions? I see they are only defined for some specific CPUs
21:21:51kugelchar;char;char would be 3, but char;char;int would be 4?
21:21:55UnhelpfulTorne: correct. the particular code in question would not be harmed speed-wise by making tose 3-byte aligned
21:21:55kugel8*
21:22:26Tornekugel: char;char;int; ends up with size 8, alignment 4
21:22:33Tornetwo bytes of padding before the int
21:22:37kugeleh
21:22:50kugelyea, I don't know why I was correcting myself to 8 :/
21:22:52Tornethat's the same under both abis
21:23:15Tornechar;char;char; in oldai is size 4 align 4, in eabi it's size 3 align 1
21:23:18kugel"can break code that writes binary files by dumping and reading structures." <−− rockblox does that :(
21:23:36Tornethe new struct rules never make anything bigger unless you have 64-bit fields
21:23:39 Part SeismicMike
21:23:43kugelTorne: hm, it seems reasonable then
21:23:53Torneit requires higher stack alignment :)
21:23:56Tornewhich may break asm
21:23:59Torneand may use more stack
21:24:15kugelWhy that, btw?
21:24:17Torneasm functions can't push odd numbers of registers and then call C funcitons
21:24:21mcuelenaerebertrik: that's to decrease binsize
21:24:23mcuelenaereAFAIK
21:24:26Torneso that 64-byte types are naturally aligned on the stack
21:24:34Torne64-bit even
21:25:05kugelstill not really logical to me
21:25:09Unhelpfulbut the source says that we *might* get the stubs generation without all of these ABI changes?
21:25:26TorneUnhelpful: it might. one thing at a time, i guess
21:25:52Unhelpfulpresumably if that's the case all one really need do is changes the binutils version for ARM in rockboxdev.sh?
21:25:54kugelYou don't have 64bit registers, i.e. you need to load/pop 2x32bit, I don't see a need for 8byte alignement
21:26:12TorneLDRD needs 8 byte alignment

21:26:56*Unhelpful agrees with gevaerts on this
21:27:33Unhelpfulit's also nearly impossible to change what is/isn't stored without simply discarding old saves... this is why i changed pictureflow to use a configfile.

21:30:32Unhelpfulkugel: if it doesn't, an abi change could break old saves. it's not like we've promised *never* to update gcc/binutils.
21:30:39kugelamiconn: the docs suggest it's not (or at least suggest it's not guaranteed to be atomic anymore)
21:30:47Unhelpfulhowever, adding that attribute will of course break it now. :)
21:31:12kugelmaybe it will just work also? :) it has only ints and an array of shorts
21:31:59amiconnIiuc the only differences between old arm abi and eabi are floating point related, and we don't use that
21:32:15*Unhelpful sincerely hopes that everywhere that does this at present will be smart enough to at least check the size of the read

21:34:05kugelUnhelpful: rockblox checks, but I don't think checking for sizeof(struct) after telling read() to read sizeof(struct) bytes help for this case
21:34:07bertrikkugel, the wakeup_signal/wait mechanism could also be used in the fuze LCD driver (instead of polling for the volatile flag)

21:39:34kugelthe ISR is blocked
21:40:04kugelOr what interrupt are you refering to?
21:40:37bertrikthe DBOP FIFO (almost) empty interrupt
21:40:50kugeloh with my patch
21:41:13kugelI think I have tried yielding without slow down
21:41:27kugelbut the issues is with the blue bars anyway
21:41:55bertrikkugel, I suspect the blue bars have something to do with the button readout
21:42:14kugelWhy do you think that?
21:42:38kugelon the e200, there's no button readout if the lcd is currently busy with updating, it still has the bars
21:42:57kugelno readout on dbop, at least
21:43:34bertrikbecause the blue bar changed slightly when pressing buttons, and because I see two different button readout functions that are not obviously protected from running together with LCD update (to me at least)
21:43:55kugellook at lcd_button_support()
21:44:33Dhraakellianwhat do you guys think of http://pastebin.ca/1489985 for a Sudoku button change on the Fuze?
21:44:40kugelthe fuze still reads the scrollwheel, that's correct. But the e200 doesn't even try to touch dbop in during updates
21:45:23amiconnThis eabi thing is definitely something we should try
21:45:41bertrikas far as I can see, the the button_gpio function is not protected from running at the same time as lcd update
21:45:57bertrikwhy are there two button read functions anyway?
21:46:03kugelyes, because it doesn't change the fifo
21:46:06Dhraakellianmenu is a short click on the home button (quit is still long home). I moved menu away from the power/hold slider on the side
21:46:23Unhelpfulper infocenter: "ARM1136JF-S processor has a floating point coprocessor." without any mention of VFP... but then the VFP11 docs state: "This manual only describes the implementation of the VFP11 for the ARM1136JF-S processor."
21:46:32kugelit's running in an interrupt, and sets the state of the gpios back
21:47:04kugelUnhelpful: the vfp is the fpu, IIUC
21:47:42bertrikkugel, but button_gpio changes the function of the DBOP hardware ports, right?
21:48:05kugelbertrik: why should it be one? They're getting at the hardware with different approaches. Also, the dbop function runs more often
21:48:23amiconnkugel: There also was FPA for older ARMs
21:48:34kugelthis would show below 100fps too I think

21:49:12kugeleven more below 100fps, since the update needs longer
21:49:28kugelbertrik: "Also, the dbop function runs more often"
21:49:32*Unhelpful doesn't see "has an FPU" and automatically assume it's SIMD :)
21:50:36kugelI don't see what's wrong with it, are you trying to safe 2 instructions?
21:50:45bertrikI don't understand, this looks hopelessly complex to me
21:51:21bertrikbut maybe I don't know all the weird things this hardware has ... :P
21:52:12kugelthe dbop function is called twice per tick, 1x in button_read_device() and 1x in the timer interrupt outside of call_tick_tasks() (the timer is configured to interrupt every 5ms)
21:52:23bertrikI think it would be bad if button_gpio would be called when LCD update was in progress. Is there any mechanism to prevent this?

22:40:00kugelit has mutexes
22:40:38mcuelenaerekugel: you mean battery_adc_voltage() on the VX747? see the 'primitive wakeup event' thingy ..
22:40:39kugelat least, if your i2c uses them. the generic, and as3514 i2c have this mutex

22:41:35mcuelenaerekugel: huh? i2c?
22:41:48mcuelenaere(btw I just see those don't use mutexes)
22:42:11kugelI'm have no idea how mutexes work, but those are meant to block threads out of code that's currently in use by another thread, IIUC
22:42:21kugelmcuelenaere: which "those"?
22:42:29mcuelenaerei2c-jz4740.c
22:42:53mcuelenaere(the functions in them, hence the plural ;) )
22:43:19kugelah, they probably should just have the mutex and be thread safe :)

23:24:45funmanhello
23:25:22funmanis it possible to download current builds for an old svn revision ? (r21710)
23:25:40HillshumI think only the daily build is archived
23:26:47Bagdercorrect
23:26:51funmani could build this revision myself but the i think the addresses inside rockbox.elf could change with a different gcc version
23:27:45HillshumDid you find out the version it used to build it?
23:28:17funmanno, but the gcc version is mentioned in rockbox-info.txt, i'll ask the person
23:28:33Hillshumit might be on the build table
23:29:10funmanpenultimate entry ;)
23:29:28kugelhttp://www.rockbox.org/dl.cgi?bin=sansafuze :(
23:31:08oboI now have the LCD controller datasheets, as well as the routines to write to the display, but I can't actually get it all to tie together and display anything... :(

23:32:00Bagderobo: so did you then find the init sequence in the OF that matches the datasheet?
23:32:32oboBagder: pretty much - I've found several init routines for that controller, and most, but not all of the values tend to match
23:33:04obosome of those don't seem to matter too much, since they're gamma curves etc
23:33:40Bagderso could it be a separate power-on to the LCD or similar that needs to be done?
23:33:52oboI've attached the datasheets plus my attempt to the GSoCSansaView wiki page if anyone fancies a look?
23:34:06oboBagder: since I'm running after the OF bootloader, shouldn't that be done already?
23:34:23Bagderright, one would think so...
23:34:30HillshumDoesn't it depend on when the OF inits?
23:34:51kugelobo: I assume you have a all white display right now?
23:35:06obokugel: no, still the OF bootlogo
23:35:21kugeloh, that's funny too :)
23:35:30oboI can create a white display by flipping a GPIO bit...
23:36:03kugelcan you somehow "manually" clearing the hw-framebuffer then a lcd update?

23:37:24DhraakellianI have a little patch to move the sudoku menu on the Fuze from the power button (on the side) to the home button (on the front). Should I make a bug report for it?

23:39:21kugelYou have the ds, haven't you?
23:39:29oboyes
23:39:42kugelthe registers of the memory should be there
23:40:04obothe init routine sets them to 0x0
23:41:48*Dhraakellian ponders also including some column formatting in the patch
23:42:33Hillshumwhitespace changes?
23:43:18obokugel: 0x20 and 0x21 are both set to 0x0 (horiz and vert GRAM address set)
23:43:19kugelobo: huh? you can change the location of the output memory?
23:43:21Dhraakellianyeah. all the other sections that are lined up as columns appear to do it with spaces. the Fuze section uses tabs
23:43:49Hillshumyes, four spaces are to be used in place of tabs
23:44:07kugelobo: I think that's only interesting for doing partial updates. I mean the actual memory

23:45:55obokugel: it has a completely different set of registers for partial updates? (0x80 to 0x85), and 0x51 and 0x53 also set the display size...
23:46:04kugelhmm, I think I'm confusing things
23:46:27DhraakellianHillshum: http://pastebin.ca/1489985 vs. http://pastebin.ca/1490086
23:46:49kugelobo: "0x20 and 0x21 are both set to 0x0 (horiz and vert GRAM address set)" this is probably the start pixel for updates
23:47:51kugelis your lcd_update() maybe buggy?
23:48:21HillshumDhraakellian: I don't know which is better
23:48:27obokugel: that's entirely possible( if not probable)
23:49:43kugelalthough I guess the e200's lcd_update should work
23:50:45DhraakellianHillshum: they should be the same except that the second one just has some extra whitespace stuff to line the columns up better
23:51:11obokugel: it doesn't seem to work like the e200 controller? AFAIK you don't point the controller to your buffer the way the e200 does?
23:51:27kugelWhy that?
23:51:31HillshumYes, but I don't a whole lot about the whitespace rules
23:51:47Dhraakellianah
23:51:59kugelHow would that work? You need to pass the data from the rockbox framebuffer somehow
23:52:12oboI've not seen that in any of the init routines that are floating out on the web for this controller...
23:52:36obokugel: yes, more like the way the c200 works...
23:54:32kugelbasically, you have at least make sure to set the window position (i.e. start pixel and end pixel) write a command that updates
