09:54:39silver_hookBTW, what is this issue with the USB + Sansa AMS + Rockbox anyway?
09:55:41eWillI think AMSv1 is stable. I've been using the patch (combined with another one that is now commited) for a few days, with no problems.

10:18:11eWillare you referring to RB charging faster than the OF?
10:18:58gevaertsI'm referring to your claim that rockbox charges faster than the OF, yes
10:19:00amee2keWill: hmmm looks like the precompiled versions are only for legacy os stuff
10:19:42gevaertsCharging to 87% is going to take much less than 87% of the time needed to charge to 100%
10:19:54amee2kbut the simulator sounds kinda cool. i think i'll try building one until i have the ipod fixed
10:20:52eWillgevaerts: ooooh, and IIRC lipo's never need a full charge to stay healthy. Cool. Thanks.
10:22:54wodzDo we have some driver which has nice crossplatform api? I am looking for en example how to shape i2c driver cleanly
10:24:04silver_hookHmmm, how often does RB release?
10:24:34Zagorsilver_hook: feature releases (x.y) every three months. bugfix releases (x.y.z) in between.
10:24:51silver_hookZagor: Cool, thanks :)
10:24:58Zagordaily builds daily :-) bleeding edge builds for every single commit.
10:25:08Zagortake your pick :)
10:26:50silver_hookOK, so I suppose I'll get meself a Sansa Clip+ for Christmas and flash it with RB as soon as the USB issue is solved in stable.

10:28:20gevaertsIf our USB stack were enabled, yes, but it isn't
10:28:23eWillYou just connect in OF to do any file transfers.
10:28:32gevaertsIt just means you have to reboot to the OF to copy stuff

10:28:59silver_hookWow.

10:29:59gevaertsIt's neither
10:30:09wodzis it sufficient to edit buildserver/builds to add target to build system?
10:30:18silver_hookgevaerts: What then?
10:30:29Zagorwodz: yes
10:30:40gevaertsDualboot isn't rocket science, and the OF doesn't take much space
10:30:46*eWill thinks Rockbox _is_ mega ultra awesome
10:30:50wodzand what about tools/builds.pm ?
10:31:37gevaertswodz: that one gets important as soon as you're unstable
10:31:42Zagorwodz: yes, you need tools/configure and tools/builds.pm done before anyone can build them. buildserver/builds is the last step, to instruct the farm to include that target in the commit builds.
10:32:00gevaertsIs builds.pm needed to just build?
10:32:24wodzit isn't
10:32:52silver_hookgevaerts: Oh, OK. I just thought that there was very limited space to flash. Like e.g. in routers where you have barely space for one firmware.
10:33:09Zagorno it isn't, but it should be there to make it possible to include in the web site
10:33:29CIA-7New commit by wodz (r28702): Add HD300 to builds.pm
10:34:16eWillsilver_hook: also, I saved ~200 MB of space by deleting a folder that the OF uses for the database. Though now OF won't boot (only lets me charge/transer-files, then shuts down). In case anyone is wondering −− it's the "##PORT#" dir, and you have almost fill the device so there isn't enough space to re-create it.
10:34:41TheSevenBuschel: "svn's config is correct for 96MHz and we are lucky when running the nano at 48 MHz" << that's what I expected as I copied those settings from apple, which isn't doing CPU frequency scaling
10:34:54silver_hookeWill: Cool tip.
10:35:24CIA-7r28702 build result: All green
10:36:27TheSevenBuschel: I still wonder why the CPU frequency has such a great impact on Rockbox's (idle) current consumption, why it doesn't seem to make a noticable difference in emBIOS if the CPU is idling

11:14:03peturpixelma: warning 2 = PCMREC_W_ENC_BUFFER_OVF so the buffer of the encoder overflowed. That normally means it didn't flush to disk in time. warning 1 is the PCM buffer overflow that happens if the encoder didn' t encode fast enough. So it looks like a flushing to disk issue. Or maybe the watermarks are set too critical

12:39:29JdGordona pox on all our houses is what it is
12:39:40amee2khm. then i kinda get why its not defined for my ipod
12:39:55JdGordonits for the charcell lcd type which is used by one target (archos player) of which there are about 3 working ones in existance
12:39:58amee2kbut isn't graphic LCD kind of a superset of character LCD functionality wise?
12:40:08JdGordonno
12:40:36amee2ki mean, you can always subdivide a graphical LCD into character cells and fake it
12:41:12amee2kso i'm not entirely sure how not having a character display makes API parts unavailable

12:42:36amee2kthen i'm probably making sense where there isn't
12:43:57Tornethe charcell-only APIs are all relating to defining custom characters for the LCD hardware
12:44:18Torneemulating that for things with a graphical display would be a waste of space when those devices can just display bitmaps

12:59:40pixelmait's not easy to spot sometimes and being affected by button action problems a few times, I'm always in high doubt when things change there.

15:30:05amee2khmmm you think its a size issue?
15:30:57amee2ki don't know much about video compression but i think you can't decompress a frame partially because the next incremental frame can move off-screen stuff into the visible area
15:31:18amee2kand going back to render the missing part would suck big time
15:31:31saratogatheres limited memory available for decoding frames, presumably if you try and watch a very large one you will run out of memory and crash
15:31:40saratogaalthough i don't know for sure thats what your problem is

15:40:03amee2kso its trying to bite off a larger frame buffer than it can handle?
15:41:05saratogai don't know what its actually doing, but it does try to request more memory then is available
15:41:11saratogafor some reason
15:42:21amee2kwow
15:42:30amee2kand that kills the kernel?
15:42:56TheSevenit probably starts doing nonsense once it ran out of memory
15:43:12amee2ki haven't found where the whole memory thing goes down, but can't it just refuse the memory request
15:43:24gevaertsno
15:43:27amee2kand let the plugin that requested it die on its own in a corner
15:43:42TheSevenwell, i'd guess it refused the memory request, got a null pointer, and later tried to access that
15:43:50gevaertsYou're assuming a system with MMU and things like that
15:43:50TheSeven(not realizing that the allocation had failed)
15:44:31TheSeventhe plugin malloc could of course bail out directly if it runs out of memory and kill the plugin
15:44:42amee2kwell, if it can't make room for the request it can still just kick out the plugin
15:44:49amee2kwhere does it need an MMU for that
15:45:01saratogathe plugin is the system
15:45:07saratogaso when it does theres nothing left to run
15:45:31amee2kwell, the exchangable part of the plugin
15:45:38TheSevenif the plugin would be a bit more cautious about that, it could probably terminate safely in an out of memory condition
15:45:44Tornesaratoga: the malloc() could catch being out of memory, though, and exit the plugin with longjmp
15:45:46amee2kthe image of the system i have in my head right now kinda looks like a DOS system
15:45:53Torneamee2k: yeah, it's not like that
15:45:55gevaertsTheSeven: sure, but that's still inside the plugin
15:46:00saratogaunless the plugin detects the failed malloc theres nothing to do but crash
15:46:08TheSevengevaerts: that's what i'm saying
15:46:17amee2kwhere the plugin is a running program, and the kernel is like the BIOS and other interrupt services
15:46:24Torneamee2k: it's not like that
15:46:26Torneat all.
15:46:30amee2kokay
15:46:33Tornethe plugin *and* the rockbox kernel are both the BIOS
15:46:36Tornethere is nothing else
15:46:44Tornethere is no separation/abstraction at all
15:46:51amee2kouch
15:47:12amee2kbut how does it load anything then?
15:47:15Tornethe plugin API calls are just function calls
15:47:21Tornethey're not anything like an interrupt service
15:47:27Tornesame as any computer loads anything
15:47:30Tornecopy it into ram, run it
15:47:32wodzwelcome to the embedded systems RTOSes :-)
15:47:43amee2ki mean, i understand that you can't fit fully featured privilege separation into an embedded system
15:47:46*TheSeven thinks the bios/dos comparison isn't too bad. but what happens if a dos program goes nuts? yes, the system locks up, resets, or whatever
15:47:59Torneall the plugins are linked as if they were part of the main binary
15:47:59amee2kbut not even having a logical separation kinda makes me go 0.0
15:48:05Tornebut they're all linked as if they were the same address
15:48:10Torneso, only one gets loaded into that location at a time
15:48:19Torneit's a different locatoin than the core, though
15:48:22Tornethe plugin buffer, in fact :)
15:48:37Torneour plugins are more like overlays :)
15:48:44Torneif you are used to DOS stuf.
15:48:48amee2khmmm i see
15:48:57Tornethere is a *logical* separation
15:49:00Tornein teh source code.
15:49:16Torneplugins only get to call stuff in pluginapi, they are not linked directly to core in a way that allows them to see core's symbols
15:49:29amee2kwell, dos is a few years back for me too but concepts i grew up with kinda stick lol
15:49:36saratogaamee2k: believe it or not you actually need hardware support to do things like you're suggesting
15:50:10saratogayou can't just tell the code to be separated, instead thats something that hardware must enforce
15:50:17amee2kbut the permanent half of the kernel is still responsible for handling the memory requests?
15:50:23Torneno, not at all
15:50:23saratoganope
15:50:31Tornethe core doesn't have dynamic memory allocation either
15:50:36Torneall the core's memory is statically allocated
15:50:45saratogaamee2k: you need virtual memory to do that kind of thing
15:50:51amee2kso every plugin has like a statically linked c library on its back?
15:50:52Tornemalloc() for the mpeg player plugin is just a function compiled into the plugin
15:51:05Torneany plugin that needs malloc has a malloc implementation compiled into it, yes
15:51:22Tornesome C library functions are in core, most are just not present at all, in core *or* in plugins
15:51:29Tornewe don't have a full C library at all, in any form

17:30:22*TheSeven wonders what's the point of the READ MULTIPLE SECTORS command, if READ SECTORS can read multiple sectors as well, or even more of them at a time
17:31:08pamauryscatter-gatter ?
17:31:19TheSeveni don't think so
17:31:52TheSeventhey basically seem to do the same thing, with the MULTIPLE variant being limited on the maximum number of sectors at a time
17:32:15TheSevenat least that's how i interpret the ata spec

18:20:41pamauryyes but is there a format ? How, when, where is it loaded ?

18:23:15bertrikthere is a RSRC text in there too, and possibly some version numbers (similar to the STMP header)

18:25:20pamauryreally ? how do you specify some data ?

18:28:18pamaurybut these are all executables, so they will be loaded in boot sections no ?
18:29:22bertrikok, I see what you mean, but I don't know
18:30:17pamauryI don't know how to generate a section like the "rsrc" for example; perhaps from the elftosb2 code I can find the syntax but it doesn't help

18:39:05TorneTheSeven: READ SECTORS does one transfer for each sector, with each one generating an interrupt and each one involving waiting for ready/etc
18:39:24TorneTheSeven: READ MULTIPLE SECTORS does one transfer for them all, you just read N times as much data from the single transfer
18:39:35TorneI added WRITE MULTIPLE to our driver, it was already doing READ MULTIPLE.
18:39:50TheSevenand READ DMA roughly behaves like READ MULTIPLE?
18:39:54TorneYes
18:40:02Tornethe limit on READ MULTIPLE is because the drive's buffer for outgoing data is finite
18:40:23Torneit also does one actual transaction on the disk heads, on most drives
18:40:43TheSeveni'm still a bit puzzled that my drive only supports 16 sectors at a time, as those drives usually have several megabytes of cache
18:40:49Torne16 is the normal limit

18:42:00Torneindeed
18:42:23Tornewith DMA there's no ATA programmed transfer cycle at all, so it doesn't matter how many sectors it is
18:42:34Tornethe controller just streams the data as and when the disk makes it available directly to the DMA system
18:42:57Tornelike the normal READ SECTORS but without having to involve the host CPU at all for anything

18:44:22TorneATA registers are all 8 bit
18:44:35 Quit swilde (Remote host closed the connection)
18:44:37Torneaddresses/counts are split weirdly because of legacy CHS compatibility :)
18:44:39TorneOh, er
18:44:52Tornebtw, READ MULTIPLE you can still ask for just as many sectors at once
18:45:05Torneif the multisector count is 16 it means it'll give you 16 sectors worth of data per transfer, is all
18:45:26Torneyou can still ask for more than 16 sectors in one command, you just have to do the transfer loop multiple times to get all the data
18:45:58TheSevenso how does lba48 work? just by writing the task file regs exactly twice?
18:46:31Tornedoesn't actually have to be exactly
18:46:38Tornethe registers just all have invisible shadows which contain the *previous* written value
18:46:43Tornewhich is used as a parameter for LBA48 commands
18:46:53Torneyou can write more than twice, and the current and previous values are the ones used. older values are discarded.
18:47:22TheSevenok, so the order doesn't matter
18:47:22Torneit's *moderately* insane
18:47:26Tornethe order does matter
18:47:44Torneiirc the previous values are the top 24 bits and the current values are the bottom 24 bits
18:47:46TheSeveni meant the order of the different registers
18:47:50TorneOh, no.
18:47:57Torneother than the command register
18:48:02TheSevenyes, of course :)
18:48:09Torneyou just have to write each of the params twice, in whatever order, then the command
18:48:38TheSevenand this means that one can basically write an lba48 task file with an lba24 command, and it will work just fine as long as the LBA was <=24 bits?

23:27:40kugelI took the defaults of the ndk, perhaps there are armv5 android devices

23:29:05saratogai expect that to make more of a difference then armv6
23:30:07kugelI've built with -march=armv5 -tune=arm11e-js (or something like that), no noticeable difference except in ape which has asm to exploit simd on armv6
23:30:14kugelmarch=armv6*
23:30:51saratogathis is with ASM enabled I guess?
23:31:00kugelboth
23:31:19kugelwell, ape didn't have the advantage in the C run of course
23:31:26saratogaits possible the NDK defaults to arm11 or similar
23:31:33saratogai guess that probably makes sense
23:32:25kugelwell, it doesn't
23:34:56CIA-7New commit by saratoga (r28710): ARM9 optimized synth_full for libmad. Speeds up mp3 decoding by an even 2 MHz on all ARM9 and later devices. Note this is only optimized for arm9 ...
23:35:15saratogai mean if you don't give it a flag it may schedule for something like arm11
23:35:28saratogathat would make sense given that its the ndk's lowest common denominator
