00:31:42Strife89troll-brasil-c20: And Rockbox does support 8GB cards.
00:31:45troll-brasil-c20To do this it need not be formatted alright because it has space available
00:33:12Strife89troll-brasil-c20: You should not need to format the Sansa or the memory card.
00:33:48troll-brasil-c20but has evolved considerably since the first time I did once he died now he is already giving dual boot:)
00:34:12Strife89troll-brasil-c20: Indeed, there is progress. :)
00:34:31Strife89troll-brasil-c20: With that said, it seems that Rockbox is not ready to run on your type of Sansa. It may be better to remove it for now.

00:37:35troll-brasil-c20but I will remolver vo tar always watching and always testing new versions are coming out
00:38:33Strife89troll-brasil-c20: Are you saying that you'd prefer to keep Rockbox on your Sansa, and just keep testing new versions?
00:40:03troll-brasil-c20so you guys know the Sansa supports all version of bios 3:02:05 indepedent of the country so that the European deiche without fm
00:41:36troll-brasil-c20I'll try to put the Rockbox whenever you update out until a stable version

01:33:58soapWell, I agree with you that the "best" option is for motherhating manufactures not to abuse their consumers and put in stupid locks - but that is something we have no power over.

01:35:26Blue_Dudefml: Working on the missing file. Sorry.
01:36:24soapThe three issues I see are (cough) binsize/complexity, lying to RBUtil, and provoking the wrath of the mysterious USB overlords. The third issue being likely moot as it wasn't like this can't be (slightly less easily) changed already.
01:37:10CIA-5New commit by Blue_Dude (r25443): Manual update for hotkeys
01:37:44gevaertsI think that hiding it in the debug menu without any persistence isn't really a service to the people who need it though
01:37:45Blue_DudeForgot to add new manual files to svn. Fixed now.
01:37:52soapFourth issue being the possible breaking of some Apple accessories.

01:38:55soapDidn't realize none of the debug entries have persistence.
01:39:03soapWas about to say almost exactly the same thing.
01:40:34soapOn a wholly unrelated subject - am I the only one who got the PM from sixthofmay? If not would someone who has actually been following said thread care to follow up?

04:32:22S_a_i_n_t_Hmmmmmm, seems a little odd.
04:32:23gumpit didnt even show up as an ipod when in disk mode
04:32:33S_a_i_n_t_My advice would be to put Rockbox back on it.

05:43:35funmanFlynDice: uSD has some problems, also reported on ABI forums; likely due to changed CPU speed
05:43:57funmanalthough it's random: sometime insert uSD => panic, sometime i can play a bit from it
05:44:19jennifurI've been getting a panic when I play from the uSD
05:44:29funmanI didn't test extensively since i'm still running a battery bench (now at 13hours, if it goes beyond 15h30 i'll switch the CPU normal freq to 24MHz
05:44:29jennifurI've the fuzeV2 though.
05:44:36FlynDiceI was going to try some delays after setting divs, OF seems to do that ~ 40 nops

06:08:28Falco98Plugging in USB from a powered-off state gets me only as far as the graphic of a USB cable with the words "multimedia mode" below it; no data connection is established with my PC though.
06:09:15Falco98it used to show this graphic only for a moment before resetting into the "do not disconnect" screen (which seems to be from the original firmware, not sure).
06:09:51Falco98in any case, I don't remember having this problem before upgrading (though I could be wrong, it could be a wonky ipod, hence why i'm checking)
06:10:37S_a_i_n_t_Have you tried diasbling USB HID?
06:10:58funmanand what OS is your PC running?
06:11:09Falco98XP
06:11:28Falco98saint, can you specify what HID is?
06:11:39Falco98is that something i would disable on the PC end or on the ipod end?
06:12:00S_a_i_n_t_settings/general settings/USB HID
06:12:04S_a_i_n_t_*I think*
06:12:08Falco98what is it?
06:12:12S_a_i_n_t_Oh, and its on the ipod.
06:12:17S_a_i_n_t_in rockbox settings
06:12:34Falco98but like.. i mean, what's it do
06:12:38Falco98(?)
06:12:41S_a_i_n_t_It has something to do with how the ipod enumerates to the host.
06:12:46Falco98gotcha
06:12:52tomersFalco98: I makes your DAP, when connected to USB, to not only be identified (enumerated) as a mass storage device (a.k.a disk-on-key...)
06:13:06tomersbut also as a keyboard, and a mouse
06:13:07Falco98well.. when this happens, it doesn't appear to get ANY data connection to the PC. at all.
06:13:26S_a_i_n_t_Find it, check if its diasbled or not, if its not, diasble it and see if you can transer data/get a connection.
06:13:28Falco98other times, like when it works "right", it has absolutely no issues.
06:13:31Falco98sure.
06:13:42Falco98well i just downgraded to 3.4 though, so i will explore that first :-P
06:14:19tomersthen, when the DAP is connected to the computer, the player's buttons, which were once unusable, are now mapped to send keyboard strokes or mouse movements to the PC the player is connected to. e.g. pressing Vol+ on the player is like pressing Vol+ on a multimedia keyboard
06:14:50Falco98oh... is that why, when i installed a daily build a few minutes ago, my PC popped up with a "new hardware found" wizard?
06:14:58Falco98(and the ipod's status screen said "keypad mode")
06:14:58S_a_i_n_t_I haven't heard of this on a 5.5G iPod, but the Nano2G has some pretty big issues with USB HID on for some people.
06:15:08S_a_i_n_t_yep, that'll be it.
06:15:14Falco98interesting.
06:15:28tomerssome old operatin systems (OSX of some older version, which I can't remember) have bug in USB handling, which prevent the player from being attached to the computer. You must disable USB HID if you want to connect your player to a computer that runs on of these older operating systems
06:15:31Falco98where would one get the drivers to satiate that NHFW though?
06:15:35Falco98i had to cancel out of it
06:16:06tomersYou don't need any 3rd party drivers
06:16:11S_a_i_n_t_On my Nano1Gs, HID works fine...On the Nano2Gs I have, I can't turn HID on at all and establish a connection to the PC
06:16:20tomersThe OS should use its default keyboard and mouse drivers
06:16:38Falco98i might try it again at some point but it definitely refused to install automatically
06:16:43Falco98but i also didn't try very hard
06:16:54tomersMaybe you should refresh the driver, i.e. delete the player in Device manager (Windows) and then disconnect and reconnect the player
06:17:02Falco98like i didn't try selecting "automatically install" or anything, i just cancelled
06:17:33S_a_i_n_t_tomers: I also get HID issues in XP, with the Nano2G. I just *can't* have HID turned on and still connect to the PC
06:17:46tomersAFAIK Nano2G is unstable, so think doesn't always work for it
06:18:19Falco98sigh.. i hate putting so many shutdown/startup cycles on my poor ipod doing all this testing :-P
06:18:23S_a_i_n_t_Yes, it is unstable...I *think* HID is disabled in the 2g Nano now anyway.
06:18:27S_a_i_n_t_For that reason.
06:18:41tomersUSB HID requires use of USB Interrupt transfers, which require that functionality to be implemented in the USB driver in Rockbox. I'm not sure this is implemented well for the nano 2g
06:19:55Falco98crap.. 3.4 didn't solve my issue either :(
06:20:03Falco98let me try disabling HID and see if that makes any difference
06:20:56tomersFalco98: Look at firmware/export/config.h:880 - USB_HAS_INTERRUPT is commented out −− seems to be broken
06:21:24tomersSo I wonder how you have the USB HID option at all - it shouldn't be shown as it is disabled
06:21:30tomersunless you uncommented that line
06:21:31Falco98i'm not finding it
06:21:34Falco98no

06:25:43Falco98no prob, i'm not exactly being uncomplicated about this
06:26:12S_a_i_n_t_Falco98: can yout not find the HID settings?
06:26:34Falco98i'm in 3.4 now - it doesn't seem to have an HID setting (as far as i can see?)
06:27:26Falco98or, "yes" is my answer :-P
06:27:32S_a_i_n_t_If it does, it'll be in "settings/General Settings/"
06:27:37Falco98as in "yes, i cannot find them"
06:27:53Falco98i see nothing naming "USB" at all in general settings.
06:28:19S_a_i_n_t_Hmmmm, I thought that 3.4 had this as an available setting.
06:28:25S_a_i_n_t_Must be wrong.
06:28:58S_a_i_n_t_Besides the point however, in a release build it *should* be going into disk mode on cable connect.
06:29:06Falco98yes
06:30:40S_a_i_n_t_I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't to be honest, it may be a stupid question, but it is *definitely* a release build, and not a daily build...right?
06:30:49Falco98i'm running 3.4 atm
06:30:51Falco98so yes
06:30:58tomersFalco98, S_a_i_n_t_: I added the usb_hid setting in r23322
06:31:14Falco98when i plug usb in when it's already powered on, it gets to the disk mode screen with no problem

07:16:12S_a_i_n_t_Torne would probably be the man to speak to here, I'm pretty much out of ideas :\
07:16:23Falco98i can check the svn if you like
07:17:22S_a_i_n_t_Current builds handle the USB screen differently IIRC
07:17:41S_a_i_n_t_they will *always* go to the "rockbox USB screen" on cable insert
07:18:06S_a_i_n_t_whereas, release builds AFAIK will go to diskmode of cable insert.

07:20:59Falco98that's what i seem to have seen

07:47:53Falco98i just updated my ipod to the svn build, i now have an entry for "hotkey" at the bottom of settings/general
07:47:56funmanOF FM code is a bit different between AMSv1 and v2 so I have to do some work ^^
07:48:39Falco98ohh.. USB HID is under the "system" submenu
07:48:41Falco98d'oh
07:49:07S_a_i_n_t_weird...it seems things have been moved around a bit.
07:49:11Falco98yeah
07:49:16Falco98there's a big submenu now
07:49:27saratoga_labtheres also a manual with these things in it . . .
07:49:32Falco98the whole "settings / system" folder has been moved it seems
07:49:35S_a_i_n_t_*Now* try disabling HID, and see if you get connectivity with the rockbox usb screen ;)
07:49:41Falco98lol..
07:49:47Falco98actually i'm gonna try it as-is first
07:49:59Falco98when i tried my virgin 3.5.1 install it started working again
07:50:05S_a_i_n_t_saratoga_lab: the manual is what led us astray here.
07:50:09Falco98(that was 3.5.1 with torne's fix)
07:50:15saratoga_labhow so?
07:50:19Falco98yeah, the manual is wrong :-P
07:50:21S_a_i_n_t_Its incorrect.
07:50:23Falco98or, not up-to-date
07:50:59saratoga_lababout what?
07:51:04S_a_i_n_t_It seems as though Settings/General settings has had a shuffle around, and the manual hasn't.
07:51:25Falco98my HID devices just installed
07:52:07Falco98yeah, like settings / system is now under settings / general
07:53:42saratoga_labisn't that what the manual says?
07:54:08Falco98hrm
07:54:13Falco98now that you say it that way...
07:57:10Falco98i kinda wish they'd make the USB mode screen acknowledge when the ipod's been unmounted from the system
07:57:29saratoga_labi'm not sure thats even possible
07:57:32Falco98at least so we know the disk is unmounted... it still seems to work as a mouse
07:57:45Falco98maybe not, but in the OF disk mode it knows when it's been unmounted
07:57:52Falco98the message changes to "ok to disconnect"
07:57:54funmanno
07:58:01funmanit knows when it's been ejected, not unmounted
07:58:04Falco98sorry
07:58:12Falco98s/unmounted/ejected/ then
07:58:29Falco98i thought ejecting a disk was another word for unmounting it
07:59:05funmanon linux at least, if i unmount the device is still present and can be remounted, if i eject it disappears and i have to disconnect/reconnect to see it again
07:59:16Falco98ah k
08:00
08:05:40Falco98so i guess it should be noted that anyone experiencing any weird poweron / usb plug-in issues should try a virgin install... my issues seem to have been cleared up by doing so.
08:06:40S_a_i_n_t_Awesome, I kinda had a feeling there was some orphaned files in there somewhere
08:06:51S_a_i_n_t_or files left over from a previous revision.
08:06:59Falco98yeah
08:07:14Falco98also i figure 3.5.1 may not have the hid setting because it will not ever work as a hid
08:07:23S_a_i_n_t_How exactly were/are you transferring ".rockbox" to your DAP?
08:07:48Falco98windows (file) explorer
08:08:10Falco98generally dragging the new .rockbox folder into the root dir of the player and selecting "overwrite all"
08:08:22Falco98which is pretty much word-for-word what the manual says to do to upgrade
08:08:27S_a_i_n_t_Yes, but I mean are you using "Extract To..." or copying the files somewhere, then moving them to the device
08:08:46S_a_i_n_t_The manual states "Extract To"
08:08:48Falco98my default zip program is winrar, which extracts to a temp directory itself before moving the files to the target
08:08:55S_a_i_n_t_there is less room for error this way.
08:09:20*S_a_i_n_t_ suggests using 7zip
08:09:26S_a_i_n_t_(its WAY better) ;)
08:09:30Falco98maybe, but with winrar i expect it's a lot more error-proof... i can try 7zip too
08:10:02 Quit BHSPitMonkey (Quit: Ex-Chat)
08:10:45Falco98also there should be a warning for people newly upgrading to a HID-enabled version that the first time they plug into USB they will be greeted with New Hardware Wizard screens
08:11:04Falco98i notice that you can just pick "no" and then "automatically" and the driver installations are straightforward
08:11:15Falco98but someone not expecting this may think it's an error
08:11:47S_a_i_n_t_It *should* handle the installation itself
08:12:01Falco98it did not go automatically
08:12:15Falco98if you're referring to the windows-side driver installations
08:12:32S_a_i_n_t_I've never had to click yes/no to install anything, just "found new hardware, Your hardware is installed and ready to use"
08:12:33Falco98i had to manually* install a mouse and keyboard driver
08:12:50Falco98(manually, as in, check "automatically" and then "next")
08:12:56S_a_i_n_t_Weird, I'm on XP pro, and it does it automatically for me.
08:13:28Falco98XP pro here as well
08:13:41S_a_i_n_t_Found new hardware (HID compliant *whatever*), your hardware is installed and ready to use"...that simple.
08:13:55S_a_i_n_t_Weird yours goes differently.
08:14:11Falco98i'll try on my laptops later and get back to you on how they act
08:14:17Falco98one is XP home and the other is XP pro
08:14:34Falco98and on my living room pc i have a hacked version of XP pro, it may act yet differently :-P
08:16:08S_a_i_n_t_Perhaps I already had the driver installed, well...it shouldn't *need* to install a driver IIUC, it should already be there, windows just needs to find it.
08:16:34Falco98yeah
08:16:44Falco98it's a little inaccurate of me to say "install" a driver
08:16:47Falco98that's just what it feels like
08:16:53Falco98i have to direct it, let's say
08:17:01saratoga_labmost likely what happened was that you had a corrupted files system, and then fixed it with check disk
08:17:07Falco98luckily it was painless after hitting "go"
08:17:10S_a_i_n_t_Ahhh, but still, I've never even had to do that much.

08:27:02funmanhm all the ape test files are too big for 8MB of ram
08:27:11saratoga_labha
08:27:49saratoga_lablooking at the fuze and nano2g benchmarks, I wonder if the difference between PP and AMSv2 is that the ability to do fast loads without using LDM helps a lot in the mp3 filterbank
08:28:03saratoga_labactually i'm sure it helps a lot but i'm surprised it would make that much of a difference
08:28:47saratoga_labthat doesn't explain why the fuzev1 is so amazingly slow compared to the amsv2 though
08:29:03saratoga_labthe better multiplier shouldn't make such a huge difference on its own
08:30:16funmanbut PP has the COP so that makes a lot of difference?
08:30:19saratoga_labbah why do we even include the ape c5000 test track all it does is make running all the test tracks take 2x as long
08:30:27saratoga_labyes i'm comparing to PP without COP
08:30:48funmanhmm COP is only used for mp3, right?
08:30:59saratoga_labi added the COP optimization after i decided it was going to be way more work then i wanted to write a faster mp3 filterbank :)
08:31:06saratoga_labMP3 and SPC only i think

08:51:51funmanhm with my diff files still play but test_codec only shows "0 of 0" and doesn't answer
08:52:03saratoga_labAAC is the only reason we can't have 512KB codec memory on all targets now

08:53:20funmanonly for Clip/c200/m200 which have 2MB of memory
08:53:53saratoga_labso the IRAM defines actually do something on the Fuzev1?
08:54:17funmaniram attributes work and some code/data is put in IRAM
08:54:41funmanon Clipv1 we put the whole codec in iram already so we disable enable iram attributes only for the core
08:54:57funmaniram is split in two: 1 part for core functions, the rest for the full codec
08:55:07saratoga_labhow much for the codec?

09:40:47saratoga_labthe bigger screen may make 24Mhz a little slow on the fuze
09:41:23saratoga_labshouldn't be a problem on the clip though
09:41:29funmantrue

11:20:45TheSevenhey, i have a crazy idea :-)
11:20:48TheSevenwho says that rockbox can only do sound?
11:20:49TheSevenlet's make it do *light*!
11:20:54TheSevenever thought about a DAP driving some DMX lights?
11:22:00JdGordonare you drunk? :)
11:23:40saratoga_labtheres not all that many output pins available on most players, so an arm dev board might work better
11:24:02TheSeventhere's the UART on the ipod dock connector...
11:24:32saratoga_labif you're hooking up another CPU to the dock, why not just do everything on the other cpu?
11:24:34TheSevendriving DMX using that should be piece of cake :-)
11:24:42TheSevenno, we don
11:24:50*TheSeven swears at his '
11:24:57saratoga_labyour device talks over serial already?
11:24:58TheSevenno, we don't need an external CPU
11:25:12TheSevenDMX is basically symmetric RS485 at 250kbaud
11:25:30saratoga_labah then thats easy enough
11:27:04TheSevenmaking it drive moving lights would of course be insane - you need proper means of manual control to do that - but driving an audio-synced chase on some pars for a smaller party should work just fine :-)
11:29:04pixelmaAlexP: do I remember correctly that it was you who had to additionally install the xcolor package for the tex environment?
11:30:02AlexPpixelma: No, it is those on Debian/Ubuntu
11:30:38AlexP(I'm on Arch)
11:31:04AlexPBut it was me who added the use of xcolor and added the note to the wiki about maybe needing it
11:31:11AlexPOther distros might as well of course
11:31:23AlexPIt depends how modularly tex is packaged
11:31:36pixelmaah, so you're saying it is missing for the people on Debian/Ubuntu? Is it really called xcolor or part of some texlive-dev or so?
11:32:10AlexPThe package is "latex-xcolor"
11:32:40AlexPFor Debian/Ubuntu anyway

11:34:25AlexPIt is a standard package, but whether you need to explicity install it for your distro depends on how they packaged it
11:35:25pixelmait wasn't needed on cygwin btw... but that doesn't have a tex4ht package and I couldn't figure out how to install it manually (quite some time ago)

11:37:09stripwaxWhile playing a playlist, I did an Insert Last from file browser to append something else to my playlist, but when I looked at my Buffering Status in debug, I saw the buffer had been reduced to just the current playing track, and cpu was stuck boosted. It stayed like that until the current playing track finished playing (and the buffer drained), and at that point is refilled the entire buffer normally. But is that expected behaviour?

14:06:22JdGordon1AlexP: multifont isnt useable on ggrey/mono now right?
14:08:13JdGordon1I wonder if we should add 20K to every target to fit two skin fonts in, that shold then make fms fit also

14:08:59JdGordon1yes, 10k per
14:09:32JdGordon1we went the technically stupider but workable option
14:09:47pamauryOn e200, without dircache it boots in around 2sec, with fresh dircache build it boots in around 3sec (subjective). I'll now test with your patch but I'm not sure I'll see the difference without bootchart
14:11:41JdGordon1that sort of time difference is statistically negligable anyway
14:12:45pamauryNot really, there is clear difference between them for me. 1sec difference on a 2sec time is not negligeable !
14:12:59gevaertspamaury: was that the foreground scan?
14:13:21pamaurygevaerts: with your patch, it seems to boot in 2sec with and without dircache

14:15:04gevaertsJdGordon1: where should I add a log line to see when playback actually starts?
14:16:07JdGordon1umm... I don't tihnk thats so simple
14:16:13JdGordon1logf isnt threadsafe right?
14:16:17pamauryWell, I guess I need some logging because it's too hard to notice the difference. I can also try to have thousands of little instead of big ones
14:16:35gevaertssure it is
14:16:55gevaertsWell, actually, I'll add a bootchart line, but that's the same
14:17:28pamauryhuh, I'm not so sure logf is thread-safe, it will mix up lines
14:17:33JdGordon1ah, audio_play() blocks (supposedly), so root_menu.c before gui_wps_show() would do
14:18:29JdGordon1audio_play() calls queue_send() on the playback thread, so if that blocks then thats the best place
14:18:49gevaertsIsn't that the point where playback starts buffering?
14:19:40gevaertsi.e. on my F60 10 seconds before I actually hear sound
14:20:20JdGordon1I'm too tired to work out if audio_play_start() actually starts audio or the buffering mechnism
14:20:33JdGordon1but thats what the playback thread calls after audio_play()
14:20:41JdGordon1comments suggest it does start playback
14:20:54JdGordon1Although... I see the wps before hearing music, so maybe not
14:21:25gevaertsyes, that's the problem
14:23:38JdGordon1another thing.. we should maybe split starting audio from starting the PS on boot
14:23:55JdGordon1rewrite the whole damn apps/ folder imo!

14:28:46gevaertsamiconn: do you have opinions on FS #11167? I'd want to commit fairly soon, but I'm not sure if and how the mechanism should be generalised to tagcache and other background scanners, so I'd like more opinions
14:34:39pamaurygevaerts: implement I/O priority on a per thread basis ? For example, each thread as a "I/O delta" parameter and the storage refuses a read/write if the delta to last I/O is greater than the parameter
14:34:52pamaury* refuse=delay
14:37:39gevaertshm
14:38:44gevaertsIt should obviously be thread based I think, but maybe two classes are enough? Background and immediate
14:40:03kugelanother parameter for create_thread?
14:40:20gevaertsor an extra function to set it
14:40:32kugelor maybe a single struct to pass?
14:40:57*gevaerts doesn't care much. He wants to get the actual mechanism right, the way to set the numbers is not very important
14:41:19bertrikgevaerts, I haven't really thought this through myself, but having simply two categories background and immediate sounds good
14:42:03gevaertsIf a background IO thread sees that an immediate thread has done IO recently, it waits until this is no longer the case, with possibly a maximum waiting time after which it can run anyway
14:43:36*kugel tends to agree with pamaury
14:43:45gevaertsThe exact same mechanism might work with more than two levels
14:44:26*gevaerts doesn't really fully understand pamaury's proposal
14:45:27bertrikI think the mechanism should not be too intrusive, like refusing I/O
14:45:45gevaertsoh, definitely not
14:47:14pamauryMy proposition is the following: each thread has internal two storage parameters: io_delta and last_io_tick. On each read/write, the storage_code compute current_tick-last_io_tick and if the result if < io_delta, then the read/write is delayed (for example it yields/sleep)
14:47:34pamauryBy adjusting io_delta, you can "immediate" and "background" threads like you said
14:48:23 Join TheSeven|Mobile [0] (~theseven@rockbox/developer/TheSeven)
14:48:27gevaertspamaury: doesn't that also slow down IO if there's no other IO going on?
14:48:35kugelif a immediate thread calls a io func it could set a timeout (current_tick+X), if a backgorund thread calls a io func it sleeps while TIME_BEFORE(current_tick, timeout)
14:48:43kugelsounds simple enough to me
14:48:44pamauryyes, you'll have to implement something like that also
14:50:45pamauryI just want to make you aware of the fact that a more general machanism makes sense if you want to generalize your patch to tagcache and others.
14:51:27gevaertsIf you do this timeout based, I don't see why the delta is stil useful
14:51:46*gevaerts decides to put his ideas in code
14:52:12bertrikhow about some kind of priority-based mutex for disk-access, where the waiting thread with the highest IO priority is granted access to the disk
14:52:54pamauryyou also have to let the background thread a little bit of disk access !
14:53:20Luca_Suh oh.. audacity is starting to behave in a strange way during the battery bench
14:53:22gevaertsok, so the delta would be a maximum wait time, not a general wait time
14:53:48bertrikpamaury, I don't see why, it just has to wait until the higher priority tasks are done
14:53:52kugela mutex would remove the need for the storage drivers to implement a mutex, wouldn't it?
14:54:23gevaertsbertrik: will that prevent thrashing?
14:54:32gevaerts(the mutexes I mean)
14:55:17 Join krabador [0] (~darkham@host14-178-dynamic.6-87-r.retail.telecomitalia.it)
14:57:16bertrikgevaerts, it might not, if a high priority IO task is done and releases the mutex, it's probably immediately taken by one of the waiting lower IO tasks
14:57:55pamaurygevaerts: yes you're right, the delta would be a sort of maximum wait time, it's better this way
14:58:14bertrikDidn't linux have some kind of very simple mechanism where it simply waited for a few ms before switching I/O tasks, assuming that after a read was done, the same task would most probably do another read?
14:58:47gevaertsI suspect one priority number will work. If you're priority 0, you won't wait. If you're priority 10, you're lower than 5, and you wait for up to 10 units
14:59:12gevaertsbertrik: I think the thing I'm working on is equivalent to that
14:59:22pamauryI think Linux has a full blown I/O scheduler
14:59:37pamauryWell several :)
14:59:47pamauryThe default one is CFQ or something like that iirc
15:00
15:00:02gevaertsThey also have lots of caching and queues
15:00:29pamauryLinux is complicated ;)
15:01:52***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
15:02:26bertrikJust to be clear, the problem is that on disk-based players there are two threads fighting for disk access thereby causing a lot of seeking, right?
15:03:16gevaertsthat's the main problem, yes.
15:03:42pamauryAnd one of these thread is a background thread
15:03:48gevaertsThere's also the fact that even without seeking buffering might be delayed by dircache or similar, which I'd like to avoid if possible
15:06:36kugelhm, without boosting, mem access seems to be more than 10 slower; apparently it scales with the cpu clock as well
15:06:39kugel(fuzev2)
15:13:31*bertrik looks forward to gevaerts implementation
15:15:48kugelindeed, around 10 times slower with 1/10 freq
15:16:15kugelshould I commit the test_mem plugin?
15:16:42bertrikmaybe you can implement the delay and the priority in just a simple number per disk, the "current IO priority level". Threads with IO priority higher than that get immediate access and raise the disk IO-priority level to their level, lower threads are blocked. The per-disk IO-priority level decreases by one for each tick, so that eventually the lower level blocked threads get access.
15:17:48bertrikkugel, sounds like a useful thing to have, is there a patch of it somewhere?
15:19:57AlexPgevaerts: Any specific requirements to test this? Just time with and without, or do I need to enable/disable stuff in between?
15:20:33gevaertsAlexP: just see if it helps you. I'm now basically redoing the thing anyway :)

16:01:12bertrikgevaerts, if there are two threads with equal io priority, the current one will keep access until the timeout, right?

17:40:24kugelI assume that we - instead of using a divider for clocking down - clock down pclk directly which also slows down all peripherals including dbop
17:40:58kugel(I don't know whether something else is actually possible)
17:41:32kugelbut even at 60MHz DBOP is too slow, something is wrong since on fuzev1 DBOP at 62MHz works just fine

18:46:00gevaertsOr the display on the iaudio M3? ;)
18:46:21Farthenno, only experience with some creative devices and ipods so far
18:47:08cousteauI really don't know why these devices are "video"-enabled
18:47:11Farthencousteau: it would be much more expensive than buying an "advanced" DAP
18:47:40cousteaui.e. a weird video format called MTV which specs are very fuzzy
18:47:47Farthenand it would be pretty clumsy
18:47:59funmantest_fps shows comparable results for clipv1 & v2 when boosted (although there's an error when calculating CPU load), but Clipv2 is much slower (4x to 8x) when unboosted
18:48:00cousteau(well, it simply has no specs)
18:48:41gevaertscousteau: ah, that points to it being one of those Chinese 8-bit or 16-bit CPUs with a DSP. If so, you won't ever run rockbox on it

20:18:50gevaertsIf so, I think the code is wrong. You can't just assume that you can make a question by appending "?" in any language

22:16:36roolkuokay, fair enough. It seemed strange that it effected the new servers to a greater extend
22:17:22roolkuthey don't seem to like building checkwps though - takes them nearly as long as a proper build :)

22:23:30Zagorand that causes client block (log file not found) and wrong binsize diffs

23:20:04gevaertskugel: maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure if it's a win on flash, and it definitely only makes sense if there is a background thread that does IO. If you do a no-database no-dircache build, the priority code is useless
23:20:36kugelisn't it less than 300 bytes?
23:20:58amiconnBtw, it's not so sure that different disks don't affect each other.
23:21:23amiconnIt depends on the controller - it's quite possible that parallel access is impossible
23:21:49saratogai keep getting "internal compiler errors" trying to do simple ASM statements
23:21:54saratogaanyone else seen these
23:22:00 Quit efyx (Remote host closed the connection)
23:22:02amiconnThat is true for ide disks on a single channel (master/slave), as well as e.g. the Ondio (but that does neither have dircache nor database in ram)
23:22:28kugelthat's the case on the as3525v2, I don't know if parallel accesses are implemented on as3525 (two controllers) but probably not because of the limited dma capabilities

23:23:04kugelbut the driver will handle it in case parallel access is impossible so I wouldn't worry
23:23:36 Quit dockimble (Quit: WeeChat 0.2.6.3)
23:23:45gevaertsamiconn: true, so we might want to use single numbers for multi-drive single-controller flash systems. FOr (hypothetical) two-disk ide systems I think we still want to separate them to avoid excessive seeking
23:24:14gevaertsBut worst case is that it behaves like it does without the patch I think
23:24:36*amiconn thinks the Elio is very special regarding this (doesn't run rockbox yet though)
23:24:37saratogadoes this look like it shouldn't parse (ignoring that it obviously doesn't do anything useful): http://pastebin.com/nya0HMvh
23:25:34gevaertsamiconn: isn't that going to be the same as the D2, i.e. two different controllers?
23:25:55amiconnPartially

23:26:20amiconnThe two controllers are controlling storage with different seek behaviour (hdd vs. flash)

23:30:46gevaertsSTORAGE_MINIMUM_IDLE_TIME should be bigger than the maximum amount of time between two requests from a high priority thread that are considered to be consecutive. I've set that to HZ/10, which might be a bit too high, but I suspect that seek times of 20ms or so won't be that uncommon, so at least on disk targets it can't be much lower
23:33:16gevaertsSTORAGE_DELAY_UNIT should be smaller than STORAGE_MINIMUM_IDLE_TIME, since that's the time you wait before trying again. It's also used (but that can be tweaked) to determine the maximum waiting time since the system will not wait more than <priority> times
23:33:51gevaertsHZ/20 means (with current priority definitions) a maximum wait of about 1.5 seconds
23:34:41gevaertsI think we can keep both numbers for now, possibly reducing IO_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND a bit (to 8 maybe?)
