00:00:55saratogahuh using ldm is actually a bit slower for me then doing single loads ont he clipv2
00:01:16 Join jacekowski [0] (jacekowski@jacekowski.org)
00:01:23saratogai wonder whats going on here
00:02:12CIA-5New commit by gevaerts (r25459): Add IO priority handling. Currently all IO has equal priority, except the dircache scanning thread which is lower. This fixes the slow boot problem ...
00:04:22saratogaalso why is memory so much faster on the e200v1 then on the clipv2
00:04:53kugelgevaerts: why was the IF_MD part needed exactl now?
00:05:03kugelsaratoga: do you test boosted?
00:05:10gevaertskugel: where do you mean?
00:05:22saratogakugel: no both unboosted
00:05:24 Quit xiainx (Quit: Good Bye!)
00:05:33kugelsaratoga: unboosted is horribly slow as far as I noticed
00:05:41*bertrik spots a 1:37 min build
00:05:52kugelgevaerts: "Lots of the changes are due to changing storage_(read|write)sectors() from macros to wrapper functions. This means that they have to be called with IF_MD2(drive,) again."
00:07:07kugelsaratoga: pressing up/down boosts and unboosts just like in test_boost
00:07:12saratogayeah i saw
00:07:18saratogawe need a higher resolution timer
00:07:42gevaertskugel: well, due to lots of interesting preprocessor magic, the drive argument was getting eaten without IF_MD2() in the macro case. That doesn't work for wrapper functions
00:07:43saratogaor bigger BUF_SIZE

00:08:02gevaertsgah, sim...
00:08:14kugelsaratoga: why?
00:08:26saratogathe step sizes are quite large
00:09:36kugelgevaerts: the trade-off was to be able to do STORAGE_FUNC() in some places?
00:09:45gevaertsno
00:09:58saratogahah ldm is 2x slower on the 200v1, so i'm doing something wrong
00:10:05gevaertsSTORAGE_FUNC() was to avoid another lot of #ifdefs
00:10:29saratoga"ldmda %[ptr]!, {r0, r1, r2, r3};"
00:10:34saratogathat should decrease the ptr variable by 16 bytes right?
00:10:37CIA-5New commit by gevaerts (r25460): Don't define HAVE_IO_PRIORITY for the sim
00:11:06kugelsaratoga: not increase?
00:11:16saratogada = decrement after
00:11:24kugelah, ok
00:11:40gevaertskugel: in storage.h, there are things like #define storage_get_info(drive, info) ata_get_info(IF_MD2(drive,) info)
00:11:51kugelI saw that
00:11:54gevaertsHaving the IF_MD2() there is enough
00:11:59saratogakugel: http://pastebin.com/V2fwBcRs
00:12:05saratogasee anything wrong in there?
00:12:26gevaertsIf you then change storage_get_info() to be a wrapper function, the IF_MD() is pushed back to the caller, where it used to be before the macros
00:12:46kugelsaratoga: any reason you go backwards?
00:13:01saratogakugel: just how i wrote the loo
00:13:02saratogap
00:13:32gevaertsok, now the real fun...
00:14:10kugelsaratoga: I'm no expert in inline assembly, but line 11 looks strange to me

00:18:17CIA-5New commit by gevaerts (r25461): Fix some forgotten storage_(read|write)_sectors() calls
00:18:30Buschelsaratoga: shouldn't ldmda be ldmdb (decrease before)?
00:18:59saratogaBuschel: does it matter?
00:19:56Buschelsaratoga: if i am not totally wrong you may call the loop 1 time too much
00:20:04saratogaah
00:20:21saratogaso use "ldmdb %[ptr]!, {r0, r1, r2, r3};"
00:20:53Buschelsaratoga: yep
00:21:36Buschelsaratoga: hmm, i was wrong: the loop will end correctly. but you will access buf[] out of range with the first call of ldma.
00:21:51Unhelpfulsaratoga: that moves the pointer down by 4 words, and stores r0-r3 counting up from the new location
00:25:32Unhelpfulif you're looping backward starting from just beyond end-of-buffer you want ldmdb
00:25:56Buschelsaratoga: you are doing r0 = ptr, r1 =ptr+1, ..., r3 = ptr+3. ldmda will decrease ptr after r3=..., ldmdb will decreas ptr before the first r0=...
00:26:09Buschel*decrease
00:26:36saratogabut either way its the same thing right since i just discard the values?
00:28:52saratoga#define BUF_SIZE ((PLUGIN_BUFFER_SIZE-(10<<10)) / (sizeof(int)))
00:28:56saratogai don't understand this line
00:30:45kugelwell, the plugin buffer minus 10k (for the code of the plugin). / sizeof(int) because I made an int array
00:30:49saratogaah ok
00:31:11saratogayou couldn't just do PLUGIN_BUFFER_SIZE- 10000 :)
00:31:33kugelI guess I could :)
00:32:08amiconn10<<10 != 10000
00:32:10dockimblejust out of curiosity
00:32:40dockimblewould there be any way to program an mp3 player to be used as an external sound card?
00:33:09gevaertsdockimble: yes
00:33:11saratogayes but its very close and 10KB is only approximate anyway
00:33:13kugelsaratoga: I think you need to align the buffer properly if you do burst access, otherwise the loop might exceed the actual buffer

00:34:06*kugel isn't sure how to properly implement the scrollwheel irq without a useful timer
00:34:25dockimblewonder how....
00:34:40amiconnWhat does the scrollwheel have to do with a timer at all?
00:34:56saratogadoing 32 repeats works much better on PP
00:34:56gevaertsdockimble: have a look at http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/11108
00:35:19 Quit evilnick (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
00:36:14jhMikeSgevaerts: a most strange patch, that one. Just and FYI: a shortcut for thread_get_current() is THREAD_CURRENT, which thread_id_entry respects.
00:36:17 Join evilnick [0] (~evilnick@rockbox/staff/evilnick)
00:36:42jhMikeS* "THREAD_ID_CURRENT" rather
00:36:44kugelamiconn: to tell the difference between 2 wheel changes
00:36:51amiconn?
00:36:52gevaertsjhMikeS: oh, right. that might have been a bit shorter
00:37:07dockimbleokis, thanks
00:37:51amiconnThe wheel just fires interrupts whenever it's moved, doesn't it?
00:37:54kugelthe time difference between two wheel changes (i.e. two interrupts), to make BUTTON_REPEAT generation and acceleration work properly
00:38:05saratogahttp://pastebin.com/V8fQrA74
00:38:13saratogathe top loop is half as fast as the bottom
00:38:15saratogaand i have no idea why
00:38:20amiconnOn 1st/2nd Gen ipod we're using wheel interrupts, independently of any timer
00:38:40dockimbleok, wow i am way too drunk to understand this now
00:38:41amiconnWe're not generating repeat or ding acceleration
00:38:46dockimbleit'll have to wait
00:39:53amiconnsaratoga: Ahem, the top loop reads 16 values/iteration while the bottom one only reads 8
00:39:54 Nick Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 (~michael@adsl-154-2-63.mcn.bellsouth.net)
00:40:06jhMikeSgevaerts: it's works with any function taking a thread id, since those all pass through thread_id_entry inside
00:40:47saratogaamiconn: but the number of iterations should change, correct?
00:40:55saratogaso that each does the same number of loads
00:41:22Buschelsaratoga: compiler optimization? "x" is assigned different values within the same loop.
00:41:43amiconnAh, there's two loops.
00:41:45saratogalet me see what objdump says
00:41:48kugelamiconn: I would like to, though
00:42:00amiconnIt depends on the value of BUF_SIZE
00:42:27amiconnAlso, is buf declared volatile?
00:42:36kugelyep
00:42:43amiconnOtherwise the compiler will optimize away reads in the 2nd case
00:43:05saratogathe reads happen but the asm looks really weird

00:43:25saratogawhat the hell is gcc doing
00:43:32dockimblethe usb external sound card code just needs some sort of automatic script, so that those of us with mp3 players with busted screens might use them for that
00:43:33amiconnOn arm9 using ldm should give the same speed as plain ldr (slight variation due to instrcution caching is possible)
00:43:38CIA-5New commit by gevaerts (r25463): use THREAD_ID_CURRENT instead of thread_get_current()
00:43:40roolkuugh, what happened to the last build round?
00:44:58saratogahow the hell is doing a bunch of ldr and add opps faster then doing an LDM
00:47:02amiconnBUF_SIZE = 8?
00:47:09amiconnDisassembled the other variant?
00:47:25amiconnBtw, stating "memory" as a clobber is incorrect. You're just reading
00:48:20amiconnAlso I'd use \n instead of ; . Otherwise you might run into the line length limit of the assembler for long asm() blocks
00:48:21saratogaBUF_SIZE is 10KB less then the plugin buffer
00:50:00 Part froggyman
00:52:26saratogahuh just doing a single ldmdb without unrolling gives a huge speed up on PP
00:52:50saratogaalmost 3x as fast
00:53:45saratogaso i must have been miscounting before
00:56:04amiconnThat's what's expected on arm7
00:56:33amiconn4x ldr -> 12 cycles. ldm to 4 registers -> 6 cycles
00:56:57amiconnI guess in the former case gcc also does its silly additions
00:57:00saratogayeah i'm just confused why it didn't work the first time i tried
00:57:39amiconnDisassembling is often the first thing I do in order to understand such things
00:58:00amiconnEven if the loop body is asm, gcc is still able to place some silliness around it
00:58:09saratogai skimmed the dissassembly and didn't see anything obviously wrong, but my arm is pretty rusty so i probably missed something
01:00
01:00:02amiconnNot arm related, but when I did the mmx asm for libdemac, I tried using gcc intrinsics first. The result was horrible...
01:00:13saratogakugel: using ldm is much faster on arm7 and no faster on arm9
01:00:17amiconnSo I went for asm()...
01:00:20saratogado you want me to commit it?

04:19:26saratogalooking at the arm9e reference manual, a lot of our ASM code is probably slower then it needs to be on 9E because of the various pipeline interlocks
04:19:42saratogafortunately most of the code looks pretty easy to fix, just rearranging ops
04:20:25saratogafor instance, the synth filter for mp3 does lots of load then multiply operations over and over
04:20:58saratogathe loads should probably be grouped so that their result isn't needed on the next instructions, which will save a pipeline stall
04:22:23saratogathe mp3 imdct does a lot of that too
04:27:16jhMikeSsaratoga: that is an issue with the s3c and imx31, I know that much. it doesn't seem to hurt the lesser arms to do it.
04:27:43saratogayeah they're not pipelined enough to matter
04:28:20saratogalooking at the timings, arm9E is probably no faster for typical load-mul-store code we do in all our codecs then arm9 because the pipelining isn't taken into account

06:14:45LloreanIs that a message you're getting, or?
06:14:49LloreanYou need to be a bit more specific.
06:15:05LloreanPeople in here can't read minds, and "it didn't work" doesn't tell much.
06:15:39scott666yes since i installed the default rockbox firmware/bootloader it refuses to boot and gives the error i just said
06:16:15LloreanAnd it still gives the exact same message if you install a modified bootloader and build as per those instructions?
06:16:54scott666the first time i tried, yes. this most recent time it complained about the checksum not matching
06:17:22LloreanThe checksum not matching usually means you've built for the wrong device.

06:19:26scott666well thats what I thought, i found the file to modify and recompiled just fine, but it still refuses to boot rockbox
06:19:26scott666ill try searchign

06:21:54S_a_i_n_tis that still called the "Video"?
06:21:57scott666heres a question: do i need to run Make twice (once normal once for bootloader)? or does this happen when you do a normal make anyway
06:22:03scott666yes, not the classic
06:22:17saratogayou can't make a bootloader and a normal build at the same time
06:22:18S_a_i_n_tI'll just send you the config file if you want...
06:22:25saratogaso you don't need to run it twice
06:22:36saratogaalthough you'll have to compile both obviously
06:22:46 Quit panni_ (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
06:22:52Lloreansaratoga: You need to do a separate configure and a separate make, probably best to do it in its own build folder
06:22:57LloreanEr, not saratoga, scott666
06:23:09scott666hmm, maybe thats contributiing
06:23:15scott666ive been doing it in the same folder
06:23:22scott666you need to do make zip for each as well?
06:23:32saratogazip is just the main build
06:23:37scott666ok
06:23:46saratogait won't actually work for the bootloader since theres nothing to zip
06:24:11scott666it let me do it and it replaced rockbox.zip
06:24:16saratogaso you're really sure you actually installed a new bootloader?
06:25:29saratogait sounds like you haven't actually compiled one from these questions
06:25:29saratogawhat does the bootloader version number say when your player boots up
06:25:29scott666yes im sure, ive run ../tools/configure twice to get a bootloader as well as a normal, ive just been doing it in the same build folder
06:25:48scott666and then ipodpatcher.exe with the i copied from the build dir
06:26:01S_a_i_n_tyou *can* build the bootloader/build in the same build folder.
06:26:17scott666i know, ive done it
06:26:20scott666heh
06:27:00saratogayeah but if make zip didn't error out you probably didn't do it correctly
06:27:11scott666once of the times make complained about an error in fat.c, lemme see if i can get it to do that again
06:29:59scott666okay: In function 'ata_transfer_sectors': error: 'CMD_WRITE_MULTIPLE_EXT' undeclared (first use in this function etc.)
06:30:45scott666this is with #define HAVE_LBA48 in my ipdvideo.h config file
06:31:15saratogabut at some point it did compile with LBA48>
06:33:16scott666i dont think so, i think i just didnt notice the error the first time
06:33:45saratogaso you never actually compiled anything?
06:34:24scott666i commented out that line and just changed MAX_PHYSICAL_SECTOR_SIZE to 4096
06:34:26scott666that didnt fix it though
06:35:18LloreanMaking it clear you didn't actually just use the changes in the link is another one of those things we should've been told at the beginning.
06:35:24LloreanAgain, the whole "can't read minds" thing.
06:35:51LloreanWhat SVN revision are you trying to compile, and do you have any other patches applied to your code?
06:35:52scott666well, i tried to
06:36:06scott666first i tried on fresh svn, now im working with 3.5.1
06:36:11scott666no other patches
06:36:29saratogaalso when i asked if you're sure you isntalled the bootloader, and told you how to check, and you didn't check because you knew better
06:36:38saratogathats one of those things
06:36:44scott666i missed the you telling me how to check part

06:39:11scott666sorry, its 3.5.1
06:41:34saratogai think thats the version for the rockbox build, not the bootloader
06:42:19scott666well, maybe thats why it doesnt work
06:42:59saratogaactually if you can't boot rockbox, i guess it would have to be the bootloader
06:43:07saratogadid it say "boot ver" or something like that
06:44:19scott666no, Rockbox boot loader. Version: 3.5.1 Ipod version:0x000B0005

06:46:44scott666is there a way to copy paste out of cygwin?
06:47:07saratogaright clikc and mark, same as windows command lines i think

06:53:34saratogaif you do an "svn diff" from the root of your check out, are any other files changed?
06:56:12scott666ummm, where exactly do i run that?
06:56:26scott666i got svn: '.' is not a working copy
06:56:34saratogafrom the root of your source check out

06:57:18Lloreanscott666: Try with a current SVN checkout instead, it will make it easier to check things like this.
06:58:17scott6661 sec
06:59:35scott666the reason i switched from svn to the release waws to rule out any bugs that might have entered since that, i really have no idea how much activity theres been since then though

07:22:04S_a_i_n_tErr..yes, what saratoga said.
07:22:17S_a_i_n_tI thought you said it didn;t come through right?

07:25:37saratogaremove all that crap except the LBA changes
07:25:41saratogathen try that
07:25:48LloreanI think the 4096 sector size is necessary
07:25:56LloreanDepending on the actual physical sector size of your drive
07:26:04scott666an email on the mailing list says it isnt but ill try anyway
07:26:10LloreanThat being said, 2048 almost certainly isn't right, and I don't know why you changed it to that.
07:26:19scott666youd have to ask S_a_i_n_t

07:27:18saratogai really think you should ignore everyone but me
07:27:29saratogaand just try the lba change
07:27:39LloreanAt the very least, you should pick one person to listen to and make it clear whose steps you're following.
07:27:53Lloreansaratoga: Those large drives have larger physical sectors, don't they?
07:28:09saratogai see no reason to assume they need that define
07:28:15scott666re-makeing with 4096 as the sector size
07:28:28saratogaafaik its just a work around for the 80GB ipod which doesn't apply here
07:28:40Lloreansaratoga: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2010-02/0042.shtml
07:28:56LloreanI think that's a workaround for the 80gb drive, but I think it also applies to the newer 120gb+ drives for 5Gs
07:29:15LloreanBut LBA48 on its own is worth a shot, at least.
07:29:37LloreanWouldn't the obvious answer be to simply find out what the physical sector size is on the drive first?
07:29:39scott666ive tried that, got the same error
07:29:55LloreanI would assume, though, that if the error message is that the size is 4096 and that it isn't supported, enabling support would be essential.
07:30:09scott666again, i assumed the same thing and tried that first
07:30:34scott666thats not to say i didnt make some error though
07:32:16scott666this is what i get when i install the bootloader: http://pastebin.ca/1856361
07:32:33scott666says the sector size is 512 which seems odd
07:33:00LloreanLogical sector size and physical sector size are two different things.
07:33:05LloreanThat's probably logical.
07:33:10scott666ah, ok
07:33:14saratogayeah i wonder if it works if you just remove all those defines
07:33:15LloreanDon't know for sure, though
07:33:40scott666ill try that again next, waiting for it to recompile so i can try with 4096 again
07:33:59scott666is there a way to tell it not to compile all these plugins that obviously havent changed?
07:34:10scott666*re-compile
07:35:26scott666or do i need even need to bother putting a new .rockbox dir on until the bootloader works/
07:35:39LloreanYou should.

08:17:59saratogaamazing difference
08:19:00saratogaalthough the Gigabeat F (same CPU as the Nano 2G) decodes it at 127.14MHz

09:03:33saratogaits software USB
09:04:08saratogai don't think its 100% working though
09:04:28LloreanWell, it's definitely not enabled
09:04:38LloreanI was wondering if it was disabled because we don't have enough hardware info, or because the main filesystem is read only?
09:04:54saratogaprobably because its not stable enough to be used safely
09:05:33S_a_i_n_tJdGordon: Bugger...well, at least its not some hole in my code though.
09:05:51S_a_i_n_tI take it the update speed of the .sbs is lower for a specific reason?
09:06:09JdGordonwell, its a waste to make it update more frequently
09:06:29S_a_i_n_tnot for my disk access animation it isn't ;)
09:06:52S_a_i_n_tfor the theme I'll never be able to uplaod ;)
09:07:09JdGordonalthough, we may be able to fix that up... let the sbs specify its update freq in the code
09:07:29S_a_i_n_tOhhhhh, sounds *purdy*
09:08:19JdGordonone minor problem is that each screen does its own timeout... in the menus its 1 update per second

09:26:39JdGordonespecially if it doesnt hit the battery (which going by my bench's it wont)
09:27:13JdGordonyou'll notice a change if you scroll through the list and your animation seems to speed up
09:27:47S_a_i_n_tI think the assumption was that it probably *would* drain the battery updating too much, but if your theme is *full* of animation...(like mine), you probably don;t care much about battery life ;P

11:30:05saratogais it possible your app was compiled against some much older version of tremor?
11:30:51kugelin any event, it shouldn't survive the preprocessor, so something is wrong when it's in the binary
11:31:18stripwaxnot sure what you mean by 'much older' - has there been any recent releases of tremor? the app was previously compiled against the headers from the nslu2 package, fwiw.
11:31:28stripwaxwhich is afaict the same as Tremor trunk
11:32:32kugelI suppose if os_types.h #defines LIKELY then it's not included properly in all places where it's used

11:44:12kugelthe dynamic linker doesn't know where symbols come from, so it can't show that a missing symbol is missing in one of the linked libraries
11:44:49kugelit can only show in which binary/lib the symbols are missing
11:45:18stripwaxright, so i think my mpd build is dodgy if it's trying to load a symbol named LIKELY from the lib
11:46:05stripwaxanyway, sorry, I'm veering offtopic a bit here. I'll get some benchmarks from the patched tremor vs rockbox mdct tremor in a sec.
11:46:21kugelthen it would show symbol "lookup error: /path/to/mpd: undefined symbol: LIKELY"
11:46:54kugeldid you try simply including os_types.h where LIKELY is used?

11:47:15kugelstrange
11:47:57kugelbut from what I've noticed, all mpd defines (the gcc macros too) are lower case and prefixed with mpd_ so it seems unlikely
11:49:30stripwaxright, that's why I think it's a problem with my local mpd, which was originally compiled against a manually-patched version of tremor with the rockbox mdct code. I probably screwed up, that's all.

12:31:59MeekrabOk so I have a few questions.
12:32:07MeekrabI havea Gigabeat S and a Zune.
12:32:42MeekrabHas anyone figured out the protection on the zune yet?
12:32:46stripwaxno
12:33:35MeekrabI'm pretty good at programming but I have no Idea the differences between the zune's bootloader and the GS's bootloader...
12:33:56saratogaone has a security flaw the other doesn't
12:34:33Meekrabfrom my settop box hacking days, I see that my zune will load an nk.bin and unpack it into ram... but if the signature is incorrect it quickformats the HDD and asks you to plug it in.
12:35:27MeekrabI may have found a way to wrap the NK.bin with some arbitrary code (ala xbox hack) and get rockbox working that way, but alas it may require dissasembly of an official microsoft firmware...
12:35:55saratogahow did you find a way if you haven't done any dissassembly?
12:36:57MeekrabI did
12:37:53MeekrabI know for a fact that the Gigabeat S runs a Wince5 kernel but the IMX31L will only run signed code...
12:38:58Meekrabsofar the only two ways to legitimately run anything non MS on the zune is by either jtagging it or trying to find a buffer overflow
12:39:31Meekraband thats like finding a needle in a haystack because the zune firmware is pretty nicely done, concidering its microsoft
12:39:35saratogaso what did you find?
12:40:01MeekrabA veeeerryy small exploit right as it looks for the signature of the NK.bin
12:40:22Meekrabsomething on the lines of a disc swap if you will
12:40:45Meekrabif we can find a way to load the SHA256 key on top of rockboxes it may load up fully

12:42:37MeekrabI decided to plug in the MK3008GAL Hard disk from my dead ipod video into my Zune, it formatted it automatically and told me to plug it into the computer as if it were brand new.
12:43:27Meekrabso it seems that if it doesnt find a certian set of files it just executes a delete MBR and waits for input.
12:43:56n1sthe gigabeat s reformats the disk if it doesn't like the partition layout
12:44:11linuxstbMeekrab: You may want to speak to Torne next time he's around. He's done a lot of investigation into the Gigabeat S, to try to find exactly why it spontaneously decides to reformat.

13:09:51stripwaxsaratoga - on nslu2, the old rockbox mdct_arm.S doesn't seem to bring any advantages.
13:10:15Meekrabdoes the zune use the SGI implementation libTIFF?
13:10:16stripwax(over the non-asm stock C functions)
13:10:35stripwaxMeekrab - how would we know? ...
13:10:46*stripwax is guessing that we don't know
13:10:48Meekrabusually by looking in the credits menu...
13:11:00stripwaxMeekrab - do you have a Zune?
13:11:24TorneMeekrab: i think you misunderstand the security here, also ;)
13:11:27Meekrabmy zune is currently at the "plug into computer" screen
13:11:35Tornethe i.MX31 part in the Gigabeat S is not in secure mode
13:11:41MeekrabOic.
13:11:42Torneand I would be surprised if the one in the Zune was
13:11:48Meekrab*facepalm
13:13:16Torne11:45 < Meekrab> the spontaneous reformats seem to be the results of fragmentation because the Kernel may be written to by accident under certain circumstances...
13:13:20stripwaxsaratoga - I get 8m0s to decode a 60minute track with unpatched trunk tremor from svn.xiph.org; 8m1s (ish) to decode using the old rockbox mdct_arm.S; 7m24s (ish) to decode using the FasterMDCT patch (which includes non-imdct stuff)
13:13:20Tornealso this is nonsense
13:13:30Tornewe don't even mount the firmware partition
13:13:48Torneand fragmentation is irrelevant
13:13:49stripwaxsaratoga - trying a few runs to even things out of course
13:14:54Tornethe problem with the gigabeat S is that the bootloader implements the error handler as "reformat the drive"
13:15:07Torneso if absolutely *anything* goes wrong during boot, it will kill it, pretty much ;)
13:15:12Meekrabwhere did "Kernel may be written to by accident under certain circumstances..."
13:15:15Meekrabcome from lol
13:15:22MeekrabI must have pasted that
13:15:29Torne(including things which can't possibly be fixed by formatting the drive, e.g. flash corruption)
13:16:10Meekrabwhat I meant to say was the error handling would detect this as something up and trying to fix it and asking for a reformat.
13:16:26Meekrab*by asking
13:16:33Torneyes, but we *don't* write to the firmware partition
13:16:48Tornethough it gets exposed over usb, so someone could accidentally touch it that way
13:16:51Meekrabim sorry, its 5AM and I've been tearing apart my brain boneing up on ARM terminology
13:17:10Tornebut it's too widespread a problem for that to be it, really.
13:17:30Tornesomeone already linked you to the wiki page with my research so far on the S's loader
13:17:39Meekrabwhat about locking the drive in some sort of read only state?
13:17:54stripwaxwhat does that mean?
13:18:24Meekrabprevent the drive from formatting itself, to see what it would do in the event of a failed format.
13:18:48TorneWe know what it does
13:18:50TorneIt hangs.
13:19:01stripwaxbut readonly vs readwrite is a software thing not a hardware thing, surely. and if the gigabeat bootloader, which we didn't write, does something in software, we can't prevent it anyway.
13:19:05TorneThe format is controlled by a flag in the flash config area
13:19:14Torneyou can turn it off, and it won't format any more.
13:19:25Tornebut all it does is skip formatting :)
13:19:37Meekrabdoes it hang into some sort of wait or does it halt and catch fire
13:19:41Tornewhatever fatal error caused it to decide to want to still applies.
13:19:49Torneit still tries to jump to recovery.bin
13:20:19Torneso it doesn't work any better..
13:20:29Torneit just means you have to take the disk out and fix it externally.
13:20:39Torneso, that's unlikely to be a very interesting avenue to explore.

13:21:45tredstoneHi
13:21:47Tornethere's not a huge scope for them to have done something wrong.
13:22:05Tornethe version on the beast doesn't range check the load addresses for the chunks of nk.bin, which is how we run on that
13:22:17Torneyou just overwrite the instruction that fails the signature check with one that always passes :)
13:22:33Tornebut my understanding (though I haven't looked) is that the Zune's version of pmcboot does have proper bounds checks on this
13:22:52Torneso you can't overwrite any of the ram the bootloader is using.
13:23:03Meekrabthats what I was saying eariler
13:23:14MeekrabI cant look at any of that ram
13:23:22Tornelook?

14:40:58S_a_i_n_tAha...he (JdGordon) said it may be worthwhile looking into a way for the .sbs to specify its own refresh rate.
14:41:09S_a_i_n_tFor me at least, it could come in handy.
14:43:20 Quit merbanan (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
14:43:50S_a_i_n_tI'd never actually noticed the refresh rate was different until I tried putting an animation that alternates frames at 0.1 second intervals. It made for some pretty ugly drawing issues.
14:45:46kugelwithout blocking some updates the sbs is updated on every button press, meaning to go through the whole lot if the skin engine and multiple screen updates for every selected item in the lists
14:46:07kugelin the wps, the sbs refresh block is removed so it updates always when the wps is updated
14:47:36kugelwe could consider allowing 10 updates per second but I would rather not remove the fresh rate limitation
14:48:42S_a_i_n_tten updates per second would do for animation I guess... the animation I had was at 0.1 second intervals, but seemed to update every ~0.3/4 seconds.
14:48:48S_a_i_n_tAnd looked really awful.
14:49:35kugelI wonder how the wps deals with such frequent updates, IIRC it only updates every 200ms (unless you press a button)
14:49:52S_a_i_n_tYourself and JdGordon seem to be the "GUI guys" so, its up to you guys if its worth it or not ultimately I guess.
14:50:12kugelI guess 0.2 timeout would not work for you?
14:50:26S_a_i_n_tIt seems fint (at 0.1second) on the WPS, unless its just taking the lowest value it can.
14:50:42S_a_i_n_ts/fint/fine/
14:51:19S_a_i_n_t0.2 would be better than "at least once per second, or at button press"
14:51:32S_a_i_n_tI could just alter the WPS animation to the same speed.
14:51:57kugelthe wps button max timeout is 200ms, it only updates on timeouts (and a timeout happens if a button is pressed or the max timeout is exceeded). the only way for the wps to update more often is if it contains a peakmeter
14:52:34S_a_i_n_tHmmm, so even if I set it to 0.1, its still at 0.2?
14:52:48S_a_i_n_twell, if that works for the WPS, then the .sbs should be fine with it.
14:53:40kugelI don't know for sure, but I would be clueless if 0.1s actually works for the wps ;)
14:54:17S_a_i_n_tit seems to...but I guess the difference between 0.1 and 0.2 seconds is barely perceptable ;)

17:16:42gevaertskugel: the problem I'm looking at is the slow font loading at boot, which is (at least partly) caused by the glyph cache being in lru order, which means that actually loading the glyphs from the font file is horribly slow on disk targets
17:17:11gevaertsSorting the lru cache by glyph id would fix that, but of course make the loaded cache be in the wrong order...
17:18:08kugelare sure?
17:20:17gevaertswell, it looks like it anyway
17:21:28kugelisnt the problem the lots of small reads rather than the order?
17:21:58gevaertsI don't think so

17:24:08goffawondering if my hard drive is dying.. or if there's a bug
17:25:14goffaon the random folder advance it displays *panic* stokov main
17:25:34AlexPWhat version?
17:25:44goffalet me check
17:25:52gevaertshow deep is your directory structure?
17:26:10soapgevaerts, not that I'm suggesting it for commit - but would simply bumping up the size of the glyph cache prevent the slower loading (which IIUC is caused by loading specific glyphs out-of-order?)
17:26:12kugelgevaerts: Torne sounded like that
17:26:15goffa25457-100403
17:27:07gevaertssoap: as far as I understand it, that will prevent the slower loading for fonts that entirely fit the new size
17:27:18gevaertsin other words, it won't ever work for unifont
17:27:23goffagavaerts its a few deep... probably 5 dirs at times
17:28:00goffalike music\artist\album\cd1\possible subdir ... that's about max
17:28:02soapunifont is bigger than the max font cache size one could specify? Is that what you are saying?
17:28:06gevaertsgoffa: in that case I'd recommend (a) checking the filesystem, and (b) using tab completion in your irc client
17:28:27goffalol... sorry about that
17:28:42kugelI think the best would be to dump the cache as is along with a crc of the font file to invalidate the cache if needed
17:29:01AlexPgoffa: Works fine here with r25459

22:23:04kugelanyway, skin_data_load() is the function that handles the loading

22:35:16bluebrotherlinuxstb: it's the post that reminded me of the issue. I've seen people try to run it on wine in the past a few times
22:35:44gevaertsfun, now the screen refuses to show any "d"
22:35:58bluebrotherI remember a post somewhere (don't think it was our forum) where someone complained about autodetection and installation not working, and he tried running it with wine :/
22:36:20*gevaerts sees files like "test_coec_log_01.txt"
22:37:41kugelgevaerts: I'm not sure the skin engine is the cause here
22:37:59gevaertskugel: it goes wrong after the settings (?) code prints "Loading..." and before it enters skin_data_load()
22:38:08kugelbluebrother: doesn't Qt offer runtime detection of the os?
22:38:34*jhMikeS just wonders what's different on gevearts' F than his own here.
22:38:38gevaertskugel: I'm not sure either. All I know is that there seem to be some stray pointers every now and then
22:39:08bluebrotherkugel: that doesn't work at all. Runtime detection of the OS should return Windows when running on wine, obviously.
22:39:27bluebrotherand I guess you're referring to the OS macros Qt offers. But that's macros, so no runtime detection
22:39:44gevaertsjhMikeS: my config right now is http://pastie.org/902994
22:39:44bluebrotherhowever, the solution the guys in #winehq suggested works fine so I'm going for that.
22:39:55kugelno, my idea was runtime detection but implement different behaviors with the macros
22:40:22kugelit wasn't so obvious that it should returns windows to me
22:40:59kugelbluebrother: what solution?
22:41:11bluebrotherwell, IMO it's pretty obvious: wine is trying to emulate Windows, so a syscall retrieving the windows version should return a valid windows version
22:41:27bluebrotherkugel: the solution I haven't mentioned here yet ;-) Check for a registry key
22:42:16kugelsure you haven't mentioned it, that's why I'm asking ;)

22:48:51gevaertsjhMikeS: could you try with http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?themeid=687&target=gigabeatfx ? That's a new version that actually loads the correct font (the old version still used the old font names)
22:49:14jhMikeSgevaerts: duplicated! cleared my settings to stock, loaded your config + druppel, rebooted, started playback, crash when switching back to cabbiev2
22:50:46gevaertsSince I added splashes, the most common symptom is a corrupted font
22:50:49jhMikeSgevaerts: so now you want me to try that link to see if it stops? I duped your results before that.
22:51:43gevaertsjhMikeS: not sure. Does it use nimbus 14? You might also still have the old fonts installed in which case it won't make any difference
22:52:27 Quit kramer3d_ (Quit: Leaving)
22:52:34jhMikeSgevaerts: it seemed to be stuck with the stock system font
22:52:53gevaertsOK, that's useful to know
22:53:15gevaertsI was beginning to suspect that maybe it was something in the font loading, but that seems unlikely then
22:54:07*gevaerts thinks that this is a weird bug
22:54:21jhMikeSI have 19-Nimbus.fnt only. I don't think I have that installed
22:54:32jhMikeS*Nimbus 14
22:55:02gevaertsmaybe it's from the font pack. Anyway, if you can reproduce it, the font is not important
22:55:55gevaertsMaybe the antiskip setting makes it more likely to hit? I don't really see any other setting that should make a difference
22:56:16jhMikeSyou had the correct font I take it? I don't have it at all, so you're likely correct.
22:56:30gevaertsyes, I do have it
22:57:12kugeljhMikeS: you need the font package
22:57:13jhMikeSok, just sanity checking. settings seem relevant. I suppose I'll pastebin mine.

23:08:42CIA-5New commit by bluebrother (r25471): Try to detect Wine. ...
23:08:44gevaertshm, I have it disabled now, and it just froze
23:10:48jhMikeSI just switch from druppel to cabbiev2 and it did it again. First the fonts were trashed (metadata display trashed) then it poped, locked and the screen turned white.
23:12:22gevaertsI just had it send noise to my ears

23:25:30FlynDicekugel: Do we have the same problem with the buttonlight for the fuzev2 with GPIOD being used for both uSD interface and general I/O?
23:25:59gevaertsSo what makes "druppel" special?
23:26:26kugelFlynDice: not the same problem, but the buttonlight pin is the same as the internal-external-storage select pin (gpiob5)
23:26:27jhMikeSgevaerts: the sbs and floating listview with metadata always visible I suppose
23:26:43kugelwhich is probably why the buttonlight blinks when playing something off the microsd
23:27:23kugelgevaerts, jhMikeS: still not reproducible in the sim?
23:27:35goffahmm ... this happened to me before don't remember how i fixed it ... i have a corrupt dir in the file system... its basically a mirror of root
23:27:46goffaif i attempt to delete that dir it'll delete everything out of root
23:28:30kugelFlynDice: that was a yes and no :) so far there's nothing special on gpiod except the power and home button (but that seems to work so far)
23:28:30jhMikeSperhaps when switching away, metadata is being accessed that is no longer present?
23:28:46FlynDicekugel: So There shouldn't be a problem if we just leave XPD configured as the uSD interface. Do you think that's accurate? If that wont cause a problem I've got the clip+ uSD functioning again.
23:28:59gevaertskugel: I haven't managed anyway
23:30:00kugelFlynDice: just go for it, I'll report failure :p
23:30:14gevaertsjhMikeS: could be. It does a rebuffer (due to different AA size)
23:30:23FlynDiceI'm sure you will ;-)
23:30:38gevaertsAlthough when I had the splashes, it looked like the crash happened before it even started on that
23:30:48FlynDiceI'll give it a try here shortly.
23:31:02kugelthe rebuffer happens at the very end of skin loading (but once per skin)
23:34:31jhMikeSis druppel supposed to switch to 14-nimbus? it seems to not load it but I can load that from Theme Settings->Font ok
23:35:21gevaertsjhMikeS: the "old" (i.e. until an hour ago) version referred to nimbus-14
23:35:52jhMikeSaha, ok. now I just get the system font
23:36:58gevaertsAh, news!
23:37:15gevaertsI managed to reproduce it by loading 15-Adobe-Helvetica while in druppel
23:39:36jhMikeShmmm...I can't seem to get results that way. did it take awhile?
