00:15:34linuxstbkugel: "targets which have only code and just a bootloader but nothing else are not even unusable" <−− Some targets in that list are at that stage (which is how I think it should be).
00:16:27kugelso it should list everything that has code in SVN but is not stable or unstable=
00:16:37kugelthen it lacks a number of targets
00:17:31kugelI think it should at least be able show the main menu
00:17:35*linuxstb wonders about JdGordon's addition to TargetClassifications - http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/bin/rdiff/Main/TargetClassifications?rev1=3;rev2=2
00:17:59 Quit bubsy (Client Quit)
00:18:04kugelyea, that's where I got the idea from, and I agree with that
00:18:15 Quit ender` (" I have never won a debate with an ignorant person. -- Ali ibn Abi Talib")
00:18:24linuxstbkugel: I disagree - getting a bootloader working on a device is a major task, and worthy of at least "unusable" IMO. A working bootloader means the hard problems are all solved (accept perhaps audio playback)
00:18:37linuxstbs/accept/except/
00:18:46linuxstbi.e. LCD, buttons, NAND/disk reading.
00:19:06linuxstbAnd of course a way to run third-party code.
00:19:16JdGordon|linuxstb: well, it depends who the list is aimed at... for developers then yes getting a bootloader working is useful information, but regular users just want to know when its good enough to star being usable
00:19:22kugela bootloader doesn't necessarily mean anything
00:19:39JdGordon|having nothing but a bootloader *is* unusable
00:19:58kugelthe fuze had a bootloader before it could read a single button. and then there's lyre which has also code in svn
00:20:03linuxstbAnd what is that section called?
00:20:19linuxstbIt's not called "nearly unstable".
00:21:04JdGordon|sure, but you dont really want to put nano2g in the same group as somerthing which just about has music playing do you?
00:21:05kugelwell, I understood that the names are only (partly) placeholders anyway
00:21:21linuxstbJdGordon|: Yes, I would.
00:21:22ZagorJdGordon|: I do
00:21:27kugelon the list it was agreed that we can think about the names later, since if we do it now we won't ever get it done
00:22:10JdGordon|I tihnk thats a bad idea, and is bound to have more annoying people come in asking to test and use these ports which are barely started
00:22:23linuxstbHas it so far?

00:22:58JdGordon|it hasnt been up long enough to know has it?
00:23:03ZagorJdGordon|: I want a list of targets where significant work has been done, but which are still unfit even for testing by users. "unusable" fits those needs fine IMO
00:23:22*linuxstb agrees with Zagor
00:23:32JdGordon|I think adding targets which are unfit for users on the front page is a bad idea
00:23:55JdGordon|I also see no reason to give those manufacturers and more free advertising when its so early still
00:24:10JdGordon|2 very seperate issues though
00:24:27kugelwe can have that list everywhere in the wiki, but on the front page which random people look at it will just create useless noise
00:24:52linuxstbThe website isn't just for users. It's to attract new developers.
00:25:08Zagorour front page is a vertiable grand central station of noise...
00:25:10linuxstbIf a user comes here wanting to use an "unusable" port, then the answer is obvious.
00:25:14kugelanyway, I made the string so that it happens what's stated on the wiki, the wiki was wrong apparently (/me's quickly giving the blame to JdGordon :P )
00:25:23JdGordon|then name the groups "stable" "ready for brave testers" "developers only" or something
00:25:25kugels/happens/matches/

00:26:42ZagorJdGordon|: I don't see how the current names and explanations are confusing
00:27:16ZagorI definitely agree it's noisy. but that's a broader issue that plagues the whole page.
00:27:57kugelgevaerts: it would be nice if we can make the release within the next 90 min. unfortunately I don't know how to deactive usb on ipods properly (neither which are affected)
00:27:59Zagorrumor has it someone designed a clean page for us...
00:28:27JdGordon|ok, I just really dont like the clip and beast being in the same group as some of those unusables...
00:28:50kugelI think the beast is only in unusable because nobody put it into unstable
00:29:00gevaertskugel: I definitely have no time for the next three hours. Can't you check the 3.3 branch to see what was done there?
00:29:10kugelthat's a good idea
00:30:51linuxstbJdGordon|: Yes, the Beast really doesn't belong there, but that's simply waiting for MrSomeone to do some binary releases and check the install instructions are accurate.
00:31:17JdGordon|no, thats the reason why its not in stable....
00:31:29linuxstbNo.
00:31:44linuxstbRead the TargetClassifications page.

00:50:35kugelspeaking of...what do you think of just having 3.4 for unstable?
00:50:50JdGordon|rbutil releases dont happen at the same time as rockbox releases either though
00:50:59kugelwe could also build for them now, but don't distribute. i.e. in case some get stable in the meantime

07:15:58pixelmaJdGordon: I recorded from the radio screen sometimes (a bit ago already)
07:16:29JdGordonI wanted to actually ask if you can record from the fm screen or are you forced to go into the rec screen to do it?

07:18:08JdGordonok... hopefully that wont get in my way
07:18:18JdGordonnossracer: get rbutil and do the uninstall

07:29:12nossraceryou know what would be really cool is a version of rockbox for a palm pilot that would be awesome
07:39:58nossracerhello
07:42:31pixelmaI *think* you need to run the e200rpatcher.exe again and it will have an uninstall option but I don't have such a device. Just deleting something from disk won't help you though as the bootloader will still be there
07:43:37pixelmaor e200rpatcher in general, what you used for the initial installation
07:44:46JdGordonarg... kugel... commit the patch so the *id3 can be NULL!
07:45:27nossracerok what if i delete and then update my original firmware wouldnt that completely wipe it out
07:45:32nossraceror i could format

10:12:19kugelit shows 3.3
10:12:28Zagorwhere does it look?
10:12:38Zagorit wasn't obvious to me from reading rbutil.ini
10:12:46kugelI think it looks for a text file on the download server
10:13:10CIA-43New commit by zagor (r22817): Modify version string for 3.4
10:13:11kugelor something like that, I know you don't need to recompile
10:14:02kugeloh, 3.3 didn't touch tarball.sh. I just copied the diff from 3.3 yesterday

10:25:56Zagoroh, of course. it has to rsync first.
10:26:30ZagorI'm guessing it uses http://download.rockbox.org/daily/build-info to get the release number

14:53:29Casainhohello bob :-)
14:53:46Casainholet's ask that question ;-)
14:53:55CasainhoBob_C: you start :-)
14:54:31Bob_Cok, we are creating a new port for the Lyre "Prototype ", we want to know where our code should go in the source tree
14:54:41 Join DirtySkeMe [0] (n=Adium@nor75-19-82-244-50-203.fbx.proxad.net)
14:55:27Bob_CThe wiki suggests firmware/target/<cpu>/<manufacturer>/<model>/ so logically our code would go in firmware/target/arm/lyre/proto2. Is that the right place?
14:55:30AlexPZagor: It does indeed
14:55:31 Quit DirtySkeMe (Remote closed the connection)
14:56:07TorneBob_C: if the code is entirely specific to your hardware, then yes
14:56:13Tornesounds reasonable
14:56:15ZagorAlexP: thanks
14:57:10Casainhowell, I started by put the code her, instead: firmware/target/arm/s3c2440/lyre_proto2
14:57:34Casainhobecause last prototype where in: firmware/target/arm/at91sam/lyre_proto1
14:57:34Tornethat's also reasonable if it's that SoC
14:57:40Bob_CThe reason we ask is that the startup code (crt0) needs to be specific to our hardware
14:57:57 Quit mauslix ("CGI:IRC")
14:58:06Torneit does?
14:58:12Bob_CBut the target S3C2440 makes assumptions about the SOC and the board layout
14:58:12Torneyou can't use teh s3c2440 crt?
14:58:31TorneWell, er, that is a SoC, no?
14:58:40Torneif it makes assumptions about particular boards, though, then you could ifdef them
14:58:41Bob_CWell, no, our memory timings are different for a start
14:58:44Torneif it's a few places
14:58:58Tornememory timings aren't part of the SoC, though..
14:59:15Bob_CThey are set in crt0
14:59:16Torneyou mean it assumes that it's hooked up to the gigabeat f/x's ram parts
14:59:18TorneYeah
14:59:24TorneSo, define/ifdef them?
14:59:38Torneif the rest of the code is the same but just a few parts are different, silly to duplicate it
14:59:41 Join robin0800 [0] (n=robin080@cpc3-brig8-0-0-cust436.brig.cable.ntl.com)
14:59:54Bob_CTorne: exactly
15:00
15:00:02Torneexactly what?
15:00:20Torneanyway, yah. if your hardware is basec on the same soc, put it in a subdirectory of that soc
15:00:23*Casainho Casainho is listening to try learn/understand
15:00:27Bob_CI mean its' specific to Gigabeat RAM etc
15:00:47Torneyah. so, that should be fixed, ideally, no? good opportunity for you :)
15:01:03Bob_COk, but that doesn't match the firmware/manufacturer/model layout does it?
15:01:12Tornethere may be other players based on that soc one day, if you've already done the work to factor out which bits are gigabeat specific then that's better for everyone ;)
15:01:32TorneNo, it doesn't
15:01:38Tornebut loads of other players also don't follow that scheme
15:01:48Torneit's useful to have a scheme that's based on similarity of hardware
15:01:51Tornenot manufacturer
15:01:58Tornewhen the same hardware is used by more than one manufacturer.
15:02:17Bob_CSure, so is the Wiki not entirely correct?
15:02:25TorneThe wiki is mking a suggestion
15:02:43Torneif there's a good reason to pick something else that's fine
15:03:16 Quit moos ("Rockbox rules the DAP world")
15:04:43Bob_CIf it was me, I might have a common file for the SOC, and then a target specific include for memory timings and stuff
15:05:04Torneif just some values need to be different, and the same code runs, then that's a good idea, yes
15:05:08Tornedo that :)
15:05:16Bob_COtherwise the code accumulates ifdefs until it becomes untenable
15:05:25Torneyes. it dpeends what the differences are.
15:05:35Torneif it's the same sequence to initialise the SDRAM but with different parameters then just #define them
15:05:44Tornebut not all differences are that simple
15:06:48Bob_CI think the Gigabeat is the only other port to that SoC currently
15:06:59Torneyes
15:07:28Torneso move any timing parameters that are specific to the gigabeat into a header in the gigabeat's directory, and make an equivalent one for your platform
15:07:46Bob_CSo now might be a good time to rationalise it. I just fear breaking the Gigabeat build!
15:07:59TorneWell, test it then
15:08:09Tornemake the changes you need, check it still compiles
15:08:14Tornetest if it you have access to such a player
15:08:27Tornepost a patch on fs that just changes that, if you want someone else to test it
15:08:29Bob_CSure, I can build it but have no player
15:08:38Torne(the patch to move that stuff could go in even without your actual port, yes?)
15:08:48Bob_CSure that is a good idea
15:09:20Tornei doubt anyone will object to patches which more cleanly seperate target specific from non target specific stuff
15:09:54Bob_CThat's good, my boss would say the opposite :)
15:11:03Bob_COk, we will proceed on those lines then
15:11:19TorneOSS has the advantage of not reall having deadlines. Makes it easier to accomodate changes which clean stuff up but don't provide immediate benefits :)

18:12:06gevaertsok. So we'd have a set of always-provided strings? Maybe you could add some sort of in-wps mechanism to add exotic strings. Not sure if that's really needed though
18:14:17JdGordonwell, all strings are always there, they just are not always translated
18:14:30JdGordonI dont even know how useful this would be
18:14:38JdGordonit just seems like something we should be doing
18:14:49gevaertsI think we should, yes
18:16:01gevaertsWhat I meant was that if a wps uses a non-langfile string, it could provide its own translations (for a limited set of languages I guess)
18:19:00JdGordonwell, the reason to do it would be so anyone could drop a theme on the DAP and it would just work in their language... adding extra strings would mean they'd have to go an edit something else also, so they may as well just edit the .wps
18:20:43 Quit evilnick ("Page closed")
18:21:02gevaertsyes and no. It would only be needed if the wps actually uses non-standard strings, and if the wps author didn't provide translation strings for those

19:02:20bertrikIn my opinion, if battery runtime is not implemented for a specific target, we should not show a bogus value. It would be better to show nothing at all (or maybe just 0)
19:03:00gevaertsrobin0800: the forum rules are not meant as a joke
19:07:10CIA-43New commit by bluebrother (r22820): Add non-interactive mode to beastpatcher. ...
19:07:40robin0800gevaerts: remove post then
19:10:03mcuelenaerebertrik: doesn't that trigger automatic powerdown?
19:10:24*mcuelenaere had that when showing invalid values in the initial VX747 stage
19:10:32bertrikI don't know, does it
19:10:36JdGordon|_yeah probbaly
19:10:52JdGordon|_either way... I tihnk a rediculous value is just as understood as 0
19:11:07bertrikJdGordon, no people submit bugs about it
19:11:21bertrik(add a comma after 'no')
19:12:08JdGordon|_hmm... then maybe we need to add a value which is "unknown" and then display that instead
19:12:11bertrikI thought that powerdown was triggered by low battery level, not low remaining runtime, maybe I'm wrong
19:12:14JdGordon|_0 is just as good/bad an some large value
19:12:26JdGordon|_arnt they linked?
19:12:37mcuelenaerebertrik: oh, then I misunderstood you
19:12:47*mcuelenaere meant low battery level
19:13:43bertrikThe point I want to make is that displaying some random runtime value is bad if it's not implemented at all

20:13:05amiconnI think using plain tags is easier
20:13:14amiconn...and less code
20:13:41amiconnWe're already handling this kind of tags, whereas for your idea you would need to parse a string argument
20:13:56 Quit flydutch ("/* empty */")
20:14:08JdGordon|yes but each one would need to be handled seperatly
20:14:50amiconnYou'd also need a table storing the relation between your argument string and the lang id
20:15:14JdGordon|yes, but only one extra case in the get_token_value() switch
20:16:19amiconn?
20:17:05kugelcould we make it with a modifier? if %ia is artist, then %§ia could be the correspinding lang string?
20:17:11kugelas with conditionals
20:17:29JdGordon|how about a charachter that is on standard ascii keyboards?
20:17:32kugelthe § was an example
20:17:55*JdGordon| likes that idea though
20:20:14*gevaerts proposes to use the ☺ character

20:22:02JdGordon|next could be problmeatic.. and "Now Playing"
20:22:14JdGordon|although that one is usually part of the background image anyway
20:22:47gevaertsMaybe we could have checkwps output a list of all used strings, so we can easily check what's actually used on the theme site

20:29:34*kugel thinks skins should get some localization, that's one of the core rockbox features

20:31:45gevaertsJdGordon|: doesn't that basically imply keeping english.lng in memory though?
20:31:54JdGordon|no
20:32:09kugelno, the lookup table would have a string->lang id connection
20:32:10JdGordon|the mapping would be known keywords like the region...
20:32:27JdGordon|english.lng *is* kept in memory though anyway
20:32:50kugelare you sure?
20:33:01JdGordon|yes
20:33:13JdGordon|well.. its built into the rockbox binary
20:33:31gevaertsprobably not sorted in any useful way though, so lookup will be slowish
20:33:38JdGordon|yes
20:33:45JdGordon|but that lookup would only happen once
20:33:55kugelat parsing time
20:34:16kugelit won't make a difference unless you choose to use some 100 strings
20:34:17domonokyas you only can use strings already in rockbox, ids wouldnt be too bad.
20:34:24JdGordon|of course keeping the smaller keyword->id mapping would be probably better anyway
20:34:28***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
20:34:42gevaertshm, there will be some unrelated impact, like wpses that don't fit in skin memory if certain languages are selected
20:34:52JdGordon|nope
20:35:02JdGordon|the Id would be stored.. not the string
20:35:12gevaertsah ok
20:35:26domonokyyou already have to know which string would be translatable and in rockbox, so we also could provide a list of availables lang-ids and their mapping.
20:35:39gevaertsin that case I don't think I see a problem except for the possibly slower loading
20:35:47kugelin fact, we have such a string->id mapping already, with touchregions

20:36:23domonokygevaerts: strings in rockbox too.
20:36:44JdGordon|this is where c# kicks ass... you can get the string name of an enum to easily get its real value
20:37:06domonokyand didnt we want to change the lang system to keep the ids always the same ? (to prevent breaking voices etc)
20:37:30kugelit's a pitty that this isn't even available with a compiler extension
20:38:10amiconndomonoky: Yes. The problem is how to do this efficiently
20:38:40kugelI don't think it's urgent to make it effecient. It only impacts the parsing time (if at all)
20:39:03robin__here http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/sandisk-sansa/ I can enter 6.0/ over and over again and nothing but the URL changes

20:39:16mcuelenaerekkurbjun: ohloh might be able to do that
20:39:44JdGordon|I'd rather talk about how to present this to the user than how to actually make it work....
20:40:05gevaertsrobin__: that's because 6.0 is the current version, so you end up in a symlink loop

20:44:02kugel98% are be totally useless for skinning

20:45:21pixelmain Rockbox of course ;)
20:48:42JdGordon|so here is the question... do we want simple tiny code and open up the whole lang? or slightly more bloated code and limit it to the dozen that would actually be used?

21:28:32mcuelenaere_ABC: you could look for DAP's that already have some info online or that have datasheets available or that use an already documented USB transfer method etc.
21:28:44_ABCfunman: Hm, sounds fun, but honestly I still have alot to learn about reverse engineering and hardware access

21:29:50funman_ABC: the first step is to pick up a target, and then start at the beginning if no work has been done, or continue were the other people are
21:30:32funmanhave you read http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/NewPort ?
21:30:37_ABCYes.
21:31:04funmanI would think that on a supported target there is not much work to do
21:31:14funman(on a hardware side)
21:31:39_ABCfunman: Well I mean from scratch, as if it was not supported.
21:32:01funmanI would be too tempted to look at the existing source code ;)

21:33:17NoireAileshey guys
21:33:46funmanI can comment on the targets I know: the newer Sansa AMS are similar to the unstable ones (Fuzev1/e200v2) but different enough to require some amount of work
21:33:51*domonoky thinks that at least the "unstable" target also could need hardware help. for example we still dont have recording on AMS Sansas.
21:33:58NoireAilesI'm having issues on getting the font package from rockbox.org
21:35:21_ABCHm, when doing hardware reverse engineering, do you think jtag is essential?
21:35:23funmanNoireAiles: from a webpage or from the rockbox utility ?
21:35:37funman_ABC: it can be helpful but it is not essential
21:35:50domonokyhm, the font package vanished from the download server :-/
21:36:02NoireAilesfrom both, unfortunately
21:36:14_ABCfunman: ah okay. I might build one sometime.
21:36:22NoireAilesIt's been down for a few days now, but I figured i'd just wait to see if it would be put back up
21:36:24domonoky_ABC: on most targets we dont have jtag, but we were still able to port rockbox to them :-)

21:37:31NoireAilesOn that note, if I did want to install fonts, could I simply take the desired font and drag and drop it?

21:40:36_ABCfunman: How do you get the original firmware?

21:42:48funmanit's your job to find it ;)
21:43:37domonoky1_ABC: if the vendor doesnt provide firmware updates, it gets very difficult to find out how to run our own code. normally the firmware upgrade mechanism is the way rockbox gets into the target.. :-)
21:44:00_ABCahh I see
21:44:19funmansome targets use exploits in the original firmware to get code running (ipod nano2g, an iriver)

23:19:15*bluebroth3r has a rather strange bug right now: beastpatcher built as debug works as expected, built as release binary doesn't. Hmm.
23:21:49linuxstbbluebroth3r: The problem with moving beastpatcher is that the more generic "sendfirm" also requires the same libMTP (IIRC). Although maybe just create a rbutil/MTP/ directory?
23:22:29bluebroth3rlinuxstb: yeah, that's the solution I'd had used :)
23:22:37*linuxstb wonders if there will be anything left in utils/ or if rbutil will assimilate everything...
23:23:25 Quit GeekShadow (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
23:23:34bluebroth3rthere's quite a bit left −− like the arm disassembler or tcctool
23:23:43bluebroth3rat least right now. Assimilating takes time :)
23:23:45linuxstbbluebroth3r: Does rbutil still not use the ipod memory detection?
23:24:08kugelbloat-o-meter too
23:24:32bluebroth3rno. I didn't found time to add it before 1.2.3 got quickly released :(
23:24:37*linuxstb doesn't mind, as long as the command-line utils are also available
23:24:53bluebroth3rwas thinking to work on that in the near future
23:25:01gevaertslinuxstb: think of it this way : the more rbutil assimilates, the more code bluebroth3r and domonoky1 are responsible for
23:25:07*bluebroth3r also wants to keep the command line tools
23:25:26bluebroth3rgevaerts: you really think I feel responsible for that code? :P

23:43:45linuxstbAlthough that could probably be implemented relatively easily (gevaerts ?)

23:47:20linuxstbbluebrother: What does rbutil do differently? USB IDs?
23:48:39bluebrotherlinuxstb: the current autodetection simply relies on the modelname reported by ipodpatcher.
23:49:17bluebrotherthus reporting ipodvideo64mb in ipodpatcher would make rbutil immediately work. Though that extends the BuildNames mess even more ...
23:50:34*linuxstb can't recall what (if anything) modelname is used for in ipodpatcher
23:51:09linuxstbAh, that's the four-char code - used for the ".ipod" header.
23:51:32linuxstbYou mean targetname?
23:52:09bluebrothersorry, meant targetname. Modelname isn't used by rbutil, and AFAICS targetname isn't really used in ipodpatcher
23:52:28linuxstbYes, grep is telling me ipodpatcher just sets it, and nothng else.
23:52:43linuxstbI'm assuming you added that?
23:53:47*bluebrother can't remember doing that and blames domonoky1 :)
23:54:15linuxstbSeems I committed it - r12264 "based on part of FS #6643 from Dominik Wenger"
23:54:50linuxstbbluebrother: Ah, but won't that break bootloader installs, as that is the same for both videos?
23:55:12linuxstb(unless we just cp the bootloader to create a bootloader-ipodvideo64mb.ipod file)
23:56:01bluebrotheranyway, if it's only used by rbutil adjusting the targetname in ipodpatcher is at least the easiest way to go. Autodetection really needs to get reworked, maybe I'll find some time tomorrow to think about that. Train trips can be good for stuff like that.
23:56:33 Quit explore ("leaving")
23:56:46bluebrotherlinuxstb: the bootloader filename is set in rbutil.ini and not derived from the targetname (anymore) so that won't break it.
23:57:18linuxstbOK, well I'll leave it to you. MrSomeone also needs to implement the SCSI stuff on a Mac...
