#rockbox log for 2009-11-21

00:00:06LambdaCalculus37toffe82: For the SA9200, plugin keymaps.
00:00:13LambdaCalculus37For the HDD6330, the touchpad driver.
00:00:20LambdaCalculus37For both, an easy install method.
00:00:29toffe82and the 1830 ?
00:03:04 Quit n1s ("Lämnar")
00:03:28LambdaCalculus37toffe82: Install method as well IIRC.

00:03:40LambdaCalculus37The HDD1x30 works well for the most part.
00:04:35toffe82it would be nis to have them going in the unstable port
00:04:47toffe82nice ... :)
00:07:11LambdaCalculus37toffe82: Yes, I agree.
00:07:47funmanregarding Sansa AMS, is there anything preventing Fuze & e200v2 at least (and Clip/m200v4/c200v2 when fs#10605 gets committed) to be part of the next release?
00:07:49LambdaCalculus37Would anyone object to bumping the GoGear HDD1x30 series up from "Unusable" to "Unstable"?
00:08:02LambdaCalculus37funman: No USB stack.
00:08:51funmanthat didn't prevent ipod & e200v1/c200v1 to be supported?
00:09:08LambdaCalculus37That's true.
00:09:43LambdaCalculus37toffe82: There's no install method in rbutil yet for the HDD1x30 models, either.
00:10:26 Quit p3tur ("Zzzzz")
00:10:44funmanand while USB support in rockbox would be nice, that doesn't prevent daily use (i use my fuze daily)
00:10:44gevaertspamaury: what exactly should I test on the gigabeat S OF?
00:13:44toffe82LambdaCalculus37: the install procedure is on the wiki for all the gogear ? all uptodate ?
00:14:11gevaertsfunman: "daily use" is what gets you into unstable :)
00:14:55LambdaCalculus37toffe82: For the SA9200, that's the current install procedure.
00:15:08LambdaCalculus37For the HDD1x30 and the HDD6330, we need to add it.
00:15:18funmanno, ports in unstable "run, but are incomplete, less usable or have problems that limit them to advanced users"
00:15:39gevaertsoh certainly, but they are usable for daily use
00:15:54funmani believe rockbox "runs well", "is supported by the installer", and the manual should be complete though i didn't check in details
00:15:58gevaertsI don't object to having them in the release though
00:16:55LambdaCalculus37toffe82: Did you ever send me an extracted firmware update fileset for the MEG50JS or the MEG201?
00:17:07 Part ercani
00:17:47gevaertsfunman: I'm not sure about the clip though. The release should be in about a month, is that enough time to be confident that it works well?
00:18:13funmanno idea
00:18:34 Quit petur (Remote closed the connection)
00:19:17gevaertswe'll see
00:21:57toffe82LambdaCalculus37: I don't remember
00:34:01*LambdaCalculus37 extracts the firmware updates
00:34:50saratogafunman: I'm going to make the clip unstable tomorrow
00:35:05saratogaIMO the Fuze and e200v2 can become stable too
00:35:12saratogashould I change all of them tomorrow?
00:40:24funmanshoudln't we wait for the release ?
00:41:30LambdaCalculus37toffe82: It looks like I may be able to get some very useful information out of the Gigabeat MEG201 and MEG50JS in terms of flash ROM if I can just cat /dev/from into an external file and read it.
00:45:06 Quit bertrik ("De groeten")
00:45:12*toffe82 lets LambdaCalculus37 do this....
00:46:36kugelsaratoga: the clip has still a mostly unusable keymap IMO
00:48:23JdGordonno it doesnt...

00:57:12 Quit funman ("free(random());")
00:57:42kugelI think the clip shouldn't be stable already, it wasn't even unstable yet
00:58:07kugelnobody can really tell if it's sufficient for stable because it was basically impossible to use it on a every day basis
00:59:12LambdaCalculus37HA... minix filesystem is used on the MEG201. :)

01:00:25JdGordonits not useable becasue its only 2GB :)

01:24:47Unhelpfulhrm, what's the "right" way with strict aliasing to address alias an array of char w/ an array of some other type? :/
01:25:11Torneisn't the point that you don't do that?
01:27:37Tornealso char* is allowed to alias points of any size, no?
01:28:01UnhelpfulTorne: the point is that you make sure the compiler *knows* when you do such things... usually via unions and the like. or that's what i though? the example here is that the bmp reader reads raw file data into a buffer, and then decodes it a pixel at a time into the same buffer
01:28:27Torneif you use a union that's not aliasing :)
01:28:32Tornebut, yes, i see wht you mean
01:28:40Tornechar* is allowed to alias other pointer types, though
01:28:49Torneso it shouldn't be a problem?
01:31:45Unhelpfuland yet it seems to be... the read buffer is cast to uint8_rgb* and then bmp.c:825 throws an aliasing warning
01:32:35Torneuint8_rgb is presumably a typedef for unsigned char though.. i'm not sure if that counts
01:32:51Tornei'm not sure tbh :)
01:33:13Unhelpfulum, no, it's a struct. the issue might be that the dereferenced value is "passed" to an inline function. i'm not sure.
01:34:38Tornefun.

01:38:24Unhelpfulthe color case passes the buffer to output_row_8_native, which seems to have no problem casting the received char * to struct uint8_rgb * and addressing it. i'm guessing either 1) a distinction is being made between array and char 2) the inline function is an issue
01:39:45Tornewell try uninlining it?
01:39:49Tornejust to see?
01:41:53Unhelpfulwell, i was thinking not so much "it's inline" as "struct-as-argument"
01:42:10 Join rodion09 [0] (n=8d231d31@giant.haxx.se)
01:42:29Unhelpfulwhich is probably not nice to do even for a <int-sized struct
01:43:09 Quit Rob2222 (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
01:45:34 Quit liar (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
01:45:52Unhelpfulvery strange. the compiler does *not* complain about using the aliased pointer to access the struct members, so that they can be packed to native format. it *does* complain about passing the struct, *or* the aliased pointer to it, as an argument to brightness(). perhaps rewriting it as a macro?
01:47:16Unhelpfulif i pass it as a pointer, the alias warnings trigger on bmp.h for the access within brightness
01:52:04*Unhelpful will try putting an anon union into bmp_args of a char array or a struct uint8_rgb array... surely if they're in a union then gcc "knows" they alias each other?
01:55:57 Join GeekShadow [0] (n=Antoine@reactos/tester/GeekShadow)
01:57:32Unhelpfulthe unionized buffer works even if i don't ever *use* the uint8_rgb[] member. a bit weird.
01:58:10Torneyou know -Wstrict-aliasing isn't perfect, right? :)
01:58:26Torneit cannot detect all possible cases of unacceptable aliasing
01:58:30Unhelpfulalthough i *could* replace all of the (uint8_rgb*)ba.buf now with ba.pbuf. i'm not sure if that would be more or less readable than it is now.
01:58:34Torneotherwise there would be no need to have a warning
01:58:47Tornegcc could just not optimise around things it knows are aliased badly :)
01:59:09Tornesadly the gcc authors expect you to actually be sure whether what you are doign is okay :)
01:59:13 Quit rodion09 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
01:59:18Tornethe warnings are just a partial crutch
01:59:40UnhelpfulTorne: of course it's not perfect. but n1s saw some things improve in speed on 4.4 with -fstrict-aliasing, and so i thought i might have a go at cleaning up the warnings that causes
01:59:58TorneIndeed, the strict aliasing optimisations do help
02:00
02:00:13Tornei'm just saying that you probably should be sure ;)
02:01:14Unhelpfulit's in-place conversion of a buffer from one format to another... is there a more correct way to do it?
02:01:31Unhelpfulalso, i think the union is pretty much guaranteed to be safe, isn't it?
02:02:01kugelis that the only aliasing problem in the core?
02:02:40Unhelpfulit's not the only one gcc warns for :)
02:03:40Unhelpfulsince i have a pbuf member now that is explicitly "buf, but as struct uint8_rgb[]", should i be using that? the structure definition makes it quite obvious what types buf and pbuf are, and that they alias each other.

02:55:16darkhammUnhelpful, not, i'm only interesting to lossless support
02:55:35darkhammi only look that tta have very little encoding times
02:56:01Unhelpfulyou could work on supporting it. for lossless generally decoding time and compression ratio are more important than encoding times.
02:57:49LambdaCalculus37Unhelpful: There's always some nut out there who has a weird, obscure format. ;)
02:57:57darkhammUnhelpful, yes i became curious browsing http://true-audio.com/TTA_Lossless_Audio_Codec_-_Performance_Comparison
02:59:09darkhammand at highest level , flac (my favorite) have the longest time
02:59:19UnhelpfulLambdaCalculus37: tbh the only one we *don't* support that i'd like to see is tak, and that only if the author ever gets around to releasing source. winning on encode time *and* compression ratio vs many common codecs, with decode times competitive with flac? sounds good.
03:00
03:00:43Unhelpfuldarkhamm: encode time is not really where you should be looking, unless you're comparing codecs that are on fairly even footing with regard to decode time and compression ratio.
03:01:45Unhelpfulalso, high-compression encode in flac has gotten *much* faster since 1.1.0.

09:49:13n1sUnhelpful: nice testing, seems to be about the same results i got, i didn't test all the O levels though, it looka like a clear win for both the beast and the gigabeat f and while the sansa has more losses they are not very big
09:51:26*amiconn thinks that the value of a speedup/slowdown depends on how fast that codec was to begin with
09:52:38amiconnA speedup in a codec with is already fast (like flac) is worth nothing if it means a slowdown in a slow codec (like e.g. aac)
09:55:05n1samiconn: true, but more than flac are faster, on sansa flac, alac, aac, wv and mp3 are faster
09:55:49n1swhile vorbis, wma, mpc, ac3 and ape are slower
09:56:35n1sUnhelpful: could you post your patch to easily swithc the codec compilation options? it might come in handy in the future
10:00
10:00:30n1sUnhelpful: btw, i only get aliasing warnings in the zxbox plugin
10:01:33n1sif it turns out fixing those warnings is tricky maybe we should just turn it on for codes as you suggested

10:03:37n1samiconn: although the comparison is a bit unfair since i don't think anyone has set the optimal compiler optimization level for most of our codecs in svn
10:04:03n1sso a bunch of them use the core optimization settings
10:04:20amiconnIt seems that especially wavpack optimisation is hosed in svn
10:05:15n1sflac, faad and cook also build with the core optimization setting

10:08:08n1sand it only sees the big improvement for arm7
10:20:51Unhelpfuln1s: when compiling with the new eabi compiler, and using -fstrict-aliasing in the makefile? interesting, i get several issues in core and a few of the plugins are *covered* in them
10:21:43Unhelpfulmost codecs and/or decoder libraries they use don't really touch -O
10:22:35n1sUnhelpful: i just removed the -fnostrict-aliasing from the makefile but yeah, only zxbox, which target are you building for?
10:25:01Unhelpfulbeast. i replaced it with a -fstrict-aliasing... it looks like that changes the default warning settings for aliasing as well
10:27:21n1sooh
10:27:35Unhelpfulit looks as if -fstrict-aliasing sets -Wstrict-aliasing, which is equivalent to setting -Wstrict-aliasing=3 ; this is the highest level, which does more detailed aliasing analysis and should, per the manual, have "very few false positives and few false negatives"
10:29:51Unhelpfulprobably we should at least *try* to resolve warnings regarding aliasing. as you saw with test_codec, strict aliasing can allow the compiler to be a bit more successful in optimization.
10:32:50Unhelpfulit would be nice to have a "checksum directory" option in test_codec that could be used to verify that optimization changes and such don't impact codec output... obviously it's no help when somebody makes algorithmic changes, but compiler flags *shouldn't* change results, at least not in fixed-point codecs...

17:29:39n1sugh, it's even casting a pointer to an array inside a struct to a struct pointer and does indexedaddressing on that struct pointer. And then accesses this char array as a uin16_t so double aliasing breakages in a single line :)

17:43:55gevaertssaratoga: how about committing your work first? ;)
17:44:00kugelsaratoga: can the fuze wait until the display glitches are sorted out?
17:44:12kugelit just needs bertrik's patch committed
17:45:19saratogakugel: and the e200v2?
17:45:35kugelI don't know if that one has the glitches too
17:46:12saratogaok i'll leave both alone for today
17:47:05pixelmasaratoga: I tested the 1a patch a bit on my M5 which is coldfire and has an HD (but only playing a single album). Seemed to work fine as far as I could see - I don't use feature like "gather runtime data" which I think caused trouble when there were small bugs in buffering causing disk spinup at every track change (haven't tested for that yet)
17:47:37saratogapixelma: I've also been running in on my gigabeat F without issue
17:48:05saratogathe only change i'm not sure about is the one in playback.c and blue dude and matsch both seemed to think it was reasonably safe
17:48:14gevaertsIf there are issues left, committing now will increase the chances to find them before the next release

18:23:34gevaertsso I guess not implementing those descriptors is fine
18:24:16pamauryyes, I guess the guys of libmtp and gPhoto2 implement it without really testing it.
18:24:21saratogafunman: i realize that but getting the code in svn would still be nice so that it doesn't rot

18:25:23Lloreansaratoga: Does the clip require the new bootloader for fixed playback, or just a current build?
18:25:45funmanLlorean: jut current build
18:25:50AlexPI'm fixing the manual for the clip install instructions - for the difference between clip and clipv2, is it a case of OF version number to tell the difference? And if so, what are the versions?
18:26:02funmanmy clip bootloader is r21285
18:26:34funmanAlexP: v1 begin with 01. and v2 with 02.
18:26:47AlexPfunman: Thanks

18:28:44LloreanHm
18:28:49 Quit DerPapst ("Leaving.")
18:28:49funmanLlorean: at some point it was needed to update the bootloader (perhaps when data cache was enabled, not sure), else it would lock up
18:28:51Llorean19385 doesn't seem to be able to boot a current build.
18:29:04LloreanI guess mine's from before that point.
18:29:16funmanoh we'll need a released bootloader and activate rbutil support

18:33:49AlexPcheers
18:36:38LloreanDo clip+ work too, or just the clip for now?

18:37:39LloreanOh. I thought I remembered someone having something running on the +. Thanks.
18:37:40funmanthe sansa ams forum thread will be 2 years old in 8 days :o)
18:38:02kugelit is on flash? I thought it was on the hidden firmware area of the "disk"
18:38:31funmankugel: well the disk is flash :)
18:38:46kugel"ignoring that the disk is flash" still applies
18:39:04*kugel was just following AlexP's convention
18:39:26AlexPDisk in that case then I think
18:39:48AlexPThis is for the manual incidently
18:40:00AlexPI assume that the bootloader download location will be bootloader/sandisk-sansa/clip/bootloader-clip.sansa ?
18:40:21kugelwe hope so :p
18:40:48AlexPand that mkamsboot on the download server will be updated to deal with it (if it doesn't already)?
18:40:59gevaertskugel: I'd assume that flash means "an area you can't reach directly from rbutil" in this case

18:52:43gevaertsLlorean: http://build.rockbox.org/data/rockbox-sansaclip.zip is the one you want I think
18:52:51funmanno
18:52:56LloreanThe -clip one should probably be deleted then
18:53:20bluebrother^AlexP: rbutil has preliminary support for the clip in svn, but it's disabled for releases
18:53:32AlexPOK, cheers
18:53:53bluebrother^no idea what state that support is in, though. But if mkamsboot is doing the job I'd guess it's pretty much done
18:54:13*bluebrother^ thinks that a target support table on the rbutil wiki page might make sense
18:54:17funmanbluebrother^: just like fuze/e200v2, i think only the "disabled" line needs to be removed from rbutil.ini
18:56:10funmanand add "(Unstable)" to the model name
18:56:28funmanby the way, m200v4 and c200v2 could go into unstable as well (if they are tested)

19:07:58funmanwhat's the difference between _ON_DISK and _ON_FLASH ?
19:09:25funmani believe it's incorrect
19:09:55funmanit says there is the OF bootloader, which loads the rockbox bootloader, which loads rockbox
19:10:34kugelisn't that technically true?
19:10:47funmanthe rockbox bootloader loads the OF
19:10:57funmanthere's no "OF bootloader"
19:11:14AlexPSo the very first thing that runs is the RB bootloader?
19:11:20AlexPThere is nothing before that?
19:11:23kugeldon't we patch the OF to load our bootloader?
19:11:51AlexPI think it should be IN_FLASH anyway
19:12:10funmani think it's closer to reality yes
19:12:34AlexPOK, I'll change that
19:12:36funman \opt{HAVE_RB_BL_IN_FLASH}{Unlike the \playerman{} firmware, which runs

21:11:11*petur stares at classic_statusbar.sbs
21:11:47peturJdGordon can fix it himself
21:13:56*bluebroth3r wonders why there's a point in having a separate statusbar anyway
21:14:24bluebroth3rif it's considered a skin then the skin could contain that. Making the statusbar simply a viewport
21:15:04gevaertsbluebroth3r:
21:15:08gevaerts"the skin"?
21:16:37bluebroth3rwell, we now have a skin buffer and thus some kind of skin engine, right?

21:18:45gevaertsmaybe, but we're a *long* way from that
21:18:54PSPdemon:(
21:19:33PSPdemoni almost want picture flow included in the browser ( as in a view option instead of a demo rock )
21:20:35bluebrotherthat's possible, but wouldn't considering the non-wps screens a skin (which currently can only get adjusted in parts, which right now is the statusbar) the first start?
21:21:22kugelsaratoga: I hope that one works http://pastie.org/pastes/709141
21:21:46gevaertsbluebrother: does that differ so much from what's happening?
21:23:24kugelbluebrother: the classic sb is on the way out anyway
21:23:29kugelthere's a task about it
21:24:06bluebrotherwell, it's kinda the other way round: coming from the skin view would mean that we have a skin, which defines two viewports: the statusbar, and a main one (which can't get changed). As far as I understand the current attempt is to add a single viewport that can get changed and is this customizable viewport
21:24:32*bluebrother stresses that he really likes the old statusbar. Just in case JdGordon wonders again if anybody would want to use that at all
21:26:27kugelbluebrother: not a single viewport

21:42:37peturthanks
21:43:30peturI've never liked WPS files and this sbs stuff can go the same way
21:45:39Unhelpfuln1s: excellent. i'll look into using the best -O settings from the benchmark runs. armv5 behaved enough like armv6 that i expect i can just treat them the same, and select slighly differently for armv4
21:46:19Unhelpfulthough i should probably re-run after your patch to see if strict aliasing interacts differently with different levels
21:46:28kugelyou have an armv5?
21:47:08Unhelpfulkugel: beaft is, isn't it? i had krazykit run tests.
21:47:23kugelgigabeaft is v4
21:47:26 Quit Horscht ("Verlassend")
21:47:52Unhelpfulbah! ok. it behaves *quite* differently from e200.
21:48:03Unhelpful(with regard to -O results)
21:48:08kugelI think only (some of) the telechips are v5
21:48:46kugelthat can have various other reasons, like caches and iram
21:52:46n1sUnhelpful: beaft is arm9 though so it has a different pipeline to the arm7 IIRC even if it's still v4
21:53:02TorneYah
21:53:24Tornev4/v5 is not that important, i wouldn't think
21:53:35Tornethe changed instructions are generally not something a compiler generates (DSP and the like)
21:53:51Tornethe differences ebtween arm7/9/11 will dominate
21:58:28 Join Horscht [0] (n=Horscht2@xbmc/user/horscht)

22:01:03Unhelpfulis the pipeline closer to the beast's arm11 pipeline in some way? the changes for best -O levels for codecs for them are *very* similar.
22:01:21Tornearm9 is more like arm11 than it is like arm7, yes
22:01:27saratogathe gigabeat F chip is the same as the AMS core
22:01:41saratoga5 stage classic risc with seperate I and D caches
22:01:47saratogabut the same multiplier as ARM7
22:02:22 Join Tomis [0] (n=Tomis@70.134.100.227)
22:02:28saratoganothing will scale like PP because it has 128KB of actual SRAM built into the core itself and not just hung off some slow peripheral bus
22:02:32TorneARM9 has branch prediction, which makes a lot of difference :)
22:02:49TorneARM7 just stalls because it's thick
22:02:58saratogaarm7tdmi has negligible pipelineing which is like good branch prediction only better :)
22:03:20 Quit Thundercloud (Remote closed the connection)
22:03:40Tornesaratoga: you still get a one stage stall, no?
22:03:53Tornewhich affects cache
22:04:01saratogayeah i think its 1 clock worth of stall
22:04:06Torneassuming you have something bizarre like PP which has a cache.
22:04:53 Join Tomis2 [0] (n=Tomis@70.134.87.26)
22:04:57Torneit won't be a one *clock* stall unless you are executing from cache :)
22:05:02saratogakugel: no difference, still no wheel
22:05:31kugelstrange
22:06:34saratogabasically nothing will ever be as fast as PP unless it can have a very fast memory system and probably a 1 clock MULL instruction
22:06:57saratogaper clock that is
22:07:23saratogaso probably the TCC chips with SRAM and ARMv5E and the beast if your code sticks in cache well
22:07:57Torneif you were particularly brave you could experiment with writing codecs to use TCM :)
22:08:06Torneinstead of relying on cache behaviour
22:08:47saratogaactually some of those TCC chips look fantastic, Coldfire like multiplier performance with PP memory + cache memory and ARM9 clock speeds
22:09:08Tornewe already fiddle a bit like that to do iram at all
22:09:19saratogafor which target?
22:09:24Torneon any target, i mean
22:09:32Torneusing TCM is the same principle
22:09:38Tornethere's just gonna be less
22:09:42saratogai also always wanted to try one of those ARM7E cores where you get the ARM7TDMI pipeline but the ARMv6 DSP unit
22:10:11saratogaTorne: isn't that what we already do with IRAM?
22:10:21Tornesaratoga: ..yes. that's what i said.
22:10:38Torneinstead/aswell of using IRAM you could shove code/data into TCM on ARM11
22:10:54Torneeliminating any dependency on cache behaviour
22:10:57saratogaTCM is the beast's IRAM?
22:11:15Torneno, TCM is when you disable automatic cache management and have the L1 cache available in the memory map
22:11:22Torneto use as regular instruction/data memory
22:11:29saratoga16KB IIRC?
22:11:37Torneprobably
22:11:48Torneyou can use both though
22:11:59Torneinstruction cache becomes ITCM, data cache becomes DTCM
22:12:15saratogai doubt its worthwhile for most codecs
22:12:28Torneprobably not
22:12:58saratogait might be useful in mp3 for putting some of the mdct and synthesis coefficients into TCM since they're so small
22:13:01Torne(ITCM is hilarious; memory you can execute but not read)
22:13:21saratogathats actually really common on DSP systems
22:13:31Torneyah, it just is kinda odd to have on ARM
22:13:33saratogai think theres better ways to make libmad not suck
22:13:45Unhelpfulhow best to distingush between arm7 vs arm9+ in the makefile, then? there are actually codecs for which -O3 works better on beast and beaft, and it's pretty much always a huge loser on arm7...
22:13:57saratogait badly needs a complete code review
22:14:05Torneprobably. it's only really worth looking at if you can demonstrate you are being hurt by cache misses
22:14:20saratogaUnhelpful: I would just check for NOT PP
22:14:22Tornewhich reminds me, do we have the perfctrs on beast?
22:14:43UnhelpfulTorne: it has clock and clock/64 counters, which we don't use
22:14:59Unhelpfulas well as counters for things like branch prediction misses iirc
22:15:00TorneUnhelpful: ARM11 can count memory accesses, cache misses, etc, i mean.
22:15:01Torneyes
22:15:03Tornethat
22:15:15TorneThat's very useful for analysis ;)
22:15:34Unhelpfulit is, i suppose, but we've only the one arm11 target :/
22:15:48Torneit's partially there on some ARM9s also
22:15:49Unhelpfulie its optimizations won't be of very broad use
22:15:50Tornejust not documented
22:16:09CIA-80New commit by mc2739 (r23686): FS #10796 - Clip - prevent power switch activation when coming out of hold
22:16:13Tornethe ARMv5 debug/perfctr system is *almost* the same as what's in the ARMv6 ARM
22:16:29TorneARM just weren't ready to commit to it at the time I think, so they left it as a private detail for their debugger
22:17:22Unhelpfuleven cycle counters can be pretty useful, especially as we have such a low-resolution system timer (for speed benchmarks)
22:17:33Tornethat's true.
22:18:24saratogaoptimizing most of our targets isn't that hard once you know the DRAM and IRAM access times as well as the latency on the multiplier
22:18:51saratogait just comes down to load/store/mul as little as possible
22:19:53saratogathat said a plugin for testing mul, DRAM, and IRAM access times in clocks would be very useful
22:20:05n1sUnhelpful: i think TheSeven said the nano4g is arm11 too so we *might* get another one

22:22:03Torneis the cacheline size on pp502x definately 16 bytes? :)
22:22:16saratogaIIRC yes, theres a document from MrH explaining it
22:22:19saratogahe did some extensive testing
22:22:26saratogaor else is one of the PP designers
22:22:34Torneyah, i saw that
22:23:06Tornesomeone just threw me a bit by claiming that their ipod stopped being unstable with dma when they switched it to 32
22:23:24Tornebut it turned out not to really be reproducible:)
22:23:34saratogawell theres a lot PP revisions floating around, including two different caches, so its possible they changed it at some point
22:23:43saratogaMrH only claimed that for the PP5024
22:24:43Tornewell, i believed it becuase it's fairly typical for arm at that time
22:24:52Tornethe XScales all have 16-byte cachelines as well
22:25:11mc2739kugel: pong
22:25:17saratogaits a pretty obvious size to use given the bus widths and clock speeds
22:25:38Torneyup
22:25:41saratogafor AMS i wonder about the memory, funman's measurements suggested some really odd timings, and we have some ability to tweak the internal clocks
22:26:10*Torne should actually unify ata_{read,write}_sectors and see if that makes his ipod stable
22:26:33Tornei've had the DMA patch on for ages and it *normally* works fine but I can get it to die by doing certain things while the player is maybe being shaken a bit
22:26:37saratoganot to mention theres some differences between the AMS targets using internal DRAM and those using external DRAM
22:26:45Tornewhich suggests it's probably write failures not being retried that causes it
22:26:50Tornerather than anything wrong with dma
22:26:52Tornebut it's hard to prove ;)
22:28:08saratogado they make line out cables for the gigabeat F that I can order?
22:29:12saratogaor maybe I can use the cables that came with my S on the F?

23:14:06Unhelpfulamiconn: is that macro available in makefiles? that's where i'd be setting the CFLAGS...
23:14:11kugelbut nevertheless, I try to "deprecate" stopping scrolling on the whole display. because that also stops scrolling on unrelated screen parts (sbs for example)
23:14:31amiconnUnhelpful: Probably not. It's set in config.h
23:15:25mc2739kugel: so, if you do not wish to stop scrolling, what other options are available?
23:16:07kugelthe prefered way is to call scroll_stop for a certain viewport
23:17:12kugelthat only stops scrolling in that viewport, but it has the complication that the passed viewport has to be the one that was active (via lcd_set_viewport()) when puts_scroll() was called
23:17:22Unhelpfuli was going to start putting my tuning results into the codecs makefiles. i'll leave existing tunings unchanged on non-ARM targets, and maybe also if we're not using the new gcc, for codecs that already set -O for ARM.

23:21:21Torneis that really okay? :)
23:21:28Torne(also ata_write_sectors *doesn't* have this) :)
23:22:16kugelI assume a udelay(1) would be more appropriate, or is the extra 600ns something to worry about?
23:23:25gevaertsTorne: you mean not all CPUs take the same time to execute a nop?
23:23:26Tornewell, i was more worried about hte hfact that this delay is missing in write
23:23:32Tornealso that
23:23:32Torne:)
23:23:43kugel5 nops are 625ns, so it doesn't seem to hurt
23:24:04kugel(assuming 1 nop = 1 cycle)
23:24:08amiconnThen it's very likely not necessary. The 400ns -> 5 nops is from SH1 running at 12MHz
23:24:19amiconnThe ata specs should tell you
23:24:41kugelah no, 62.5 actually
23:25:03saratogaBa4gder: can you also update the website?
23:25:50B4gderdone!
23:27:02Tornespec says writes also should have a 400ns delay, or possibly an entire PIO transfer cycle, dependingon crazy state stuff i don't really understand :)
23:27:34Tornei was gonna go with the assumption that it wouldn't hurt to have writes also wait, but "5 nops" seems a bit arbitrary ;)

23:32:46Unhelpfulah... ok, so i think if there's an existing tuned -O option for arm (and it differs from my and krazykit's benchmark results), i should select based on gccnum.
23:33:05linuxstbB4gder: You seem unsure whether to write "v" or "V"... ;)
23:33:12B4gderhehe, yes I am...
23:33:13Unhelpfuli'm working on being able to add a TDMI and an ARM... level? version? to distinguish between 7/9/11 etc

23:33:37B4gderbut I wasn't the first one I see
23:33:46linuxstbB4gder: Indeed not. There is also "Recorder V2".
23:33:58B4gderand e200 v2 vs Fuze V1
23:34:20Unhelpfulperhaps ARM_CORE would be most descriptive?
23:34:23B4gdera healthy mix! ;-)
23:34:55kugelUnhelpful: how about keeping it simple :)
23:35:09Unhelpfulkugel: and that would be?
23:35:16kugelwhat speed difference are we talking about ?

23:36:31pixelmaJdGordon: what's the %?Rh tag in the classic_Statusbar.sbs (it looks to me that it could be an "if hwcodec recording tag" but couldn't find it on CustomWPS and you committed an extra sbs for the Archoses)
23:36:59Unhelpfulkugel: there's a chart ;)
23:37:53kugelI mean, which codec(s) need another O level on arm7 than on arm9/11?
23:39:28Unhelpfulape, ac3... aache, but that's the same codec as other aac levels, right?
23:39:37PSPdemonwhy does it seem that my gigabeat s is running better than my sansa e200 >_>
23:39:51PSPdemonoh wait wrong place to say that....

23:53:49saratogado we have a graphic for the clip on the download page?
23:55:41*PSPdemon could make one
23:55:43Unhelpfulkugel: i think it might be worth adding the mechanism. it's not like every single codec needs to care, the bulk can just be if CPU==ARM and not go any further
