00:05:25gbl08mabertrik: I have not tried that FM radio, although it looks cheap and it'd be nice if it worked with Rockbox. For everyone: this FM radio made me remember of another thing... which iPods support FM radio accessory in Rockbox?
00:05:58Torneanything with a dock connector should basically be the same
00:06:05gbl08maI know iPod Nano 1G has a Radio entry in the menu for the Apple Radio Remote, I think.
00:06:16Torneexcept maybe the 6g/nano2g
00:06:19 Quit bluebroth3r (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
00:06:27Tornedepends if we've got serial support for those.
00:06:41gbl08maiPod Nano 2G doesn't have the Radio in the menu so it doesn't support radio accessories, right?
00:06:49Torneit might if someone turned it on
00:07:47Torneall it needs is serial support for the accessory port, so if that's done on the nano2g then it should be possible to just turn radio on and have it work
00:07:55Tornei don't know thouhg
00:08:35gbl08maunfortunately I don't have any radio accessory to test with, so I think it's useless to compile a build with Radio turned on, right?

00:31:39funmanpamaury is too busy with fuze+ to work on amsv2 usb?N
00:32:07pamauryhey funman, nice to see you
00:32:55pamauryI don't really know what to do with amsv2 usb, as before :(
00:35:09gbl08maout of curiosity, would a FM radio Live Pause system be feasible on Rockbox by using the playback buffer? (this is not a feature request)
00:36:05funmani think tweaking the recording code would be easier
00:37:19funmanpamaury: didn't jhMikeS changes help?
00:38:11 Quit kevku (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
00:38:13pamauryyes, there we some synchronization issues but it doesn't solve everything
00:38:25pamauryit seems that there are some sd issues too
00:39:15gbl08mato finish the FM idea: my idea was that in the playback buffer some minutes of FM stream could be stored, and then the user could "pause" the emission, go back some minutes and things alike.
00:39:21gbl08mato really finish the FM idea: not really something I could make use of, as I don't have any FM-capable target. but leaving the idea.
00:42:19funmanpamaury: anything worth reading about these problems? (FS/forum)

00:48:04bertrikTorne, I am interested in making an accessory work with the nano 2g (just need to get both an nano 2g + accessory)
00:49:11bertrikthe ipod accessory protocol code will need a bit of refactoring because it's now basically wired into the PP serial interrupt
00:50:20funmanjhMikeS: are you using a fuzev2?

00:56:06gbl08mabertirk: not really related to accessory protocol, but do you know if anyone did anything about HID on nano2g? on the wiki it says mass storage works and HID doesn't.
00:56:51funmansideral: you didn't answer to jhMikeS did you?
00:56:59gbl08mabertrik: it also says that it might be usb interrupt transfers breaking the hid
00:57:45sideralfunman: No, I haven't answered yet. I haven't had time yet to play with the retry counts
00:58:39bertrikgbl08ma, I'm not really planning to work on usb
00:58:59gbl08mabertrik: it's ok
00:59:00sideralfunman: BTW, there was at least one other user who needed this change backed out, with other failure symptoms: FS #11965
00:59:34sideralI suspect that much of the AMSv2 instability with crashes during DB updates etc. reported in the forums has to do with this as well
01:00
01:00:08sideralfunman: Re the ClipV2 background hissing noise: Have you ever experienced any change in that noise (with any AMSv2 player) when playing with the CPU frequencies?

01:01:37funmansideral: yes
01:02:12funmanthe hiss happened at a higher frequency when the cpu freq was higher
01:02:44sideralInteresting
01:04:13funman(iirc)
01:04:20sideralfunman: I've pretty much ruled out that the AS3543 config has anything to do with the bg noise: FS #11915. Thanks again for getting me access to that datasheet
01:04:47funmanthanks AMS :)
01:06:19sideralI wanted to start playing with the CPU frequencies as well, and noticed your patches in FS #11297. But there are so many of them... any idea on which one to start with?
01:08:31funmanjust set HAVE_ADJUSTABLE_CPU_VOLTAGE in config/*.h
01:09:29funmandon't remember if there's a problem with the current implementation in system-as3525.c (except the crashes i mean)
01:10:27sideralthe patches' changes to system-as3525.c aren't necessary anymore you think?

05:00:57[Saint]bieber, you've already expressed your profound hatrid of the theme editor JdGordon| ;)
05:01:11[Saint]or, the code behaind it rather.
05:01:46[Saint]bieber: Yeah, the themeeditor. I've been working with touch targets a lot, and that one thing is a real PITA.
05:02:06bieberIIRC, I spent a while asking about this back when I was implementing it, and was told that touch areas should always be absolute coordinates, never relative
05:02:18bieberSo are they actually supposed to be relative when they're in a viewport?
05:02:26[Saint]correct.
05:03:10[Saint]it was probably some confusing rule about %Tl that tripped up the understanding about touch areas.
05:03:15bieberOkay, I'll fix it this week
05:03:22bieberIt should be a pretty small edit
05:10:13bieberActually, I should be able to fix it right now, just a second

09:54:50[Saint]from your post, it was unclear if you needed a device (Nano2G) *and* an accessory, or both.
09:55:00bertrikAs far as I understand, it never works for people who have the problem, and it seems to happen mostly with 16 GB (or bigger) cards, (and more frequently with hi-speed cards too)
09:55:17bertrik[Saint], I need both ... :)
09:55:49bertrikMaybe I could put it up as a SoC project, but perhaps the project is too small for a summer's worth of coding.
09:56:08[Saint]what *is* "too small"?
09:56:17[Saint]I guess it depends on the students ability, no?
09:57:05[Saint]it'd certainly be a summer's worth for me, for instance ;)

13:04:42funmanthere is even a programming guide in the pdf (pg 380), could be useful
13:06:15funmanThe cards operate at a maximum of 26 MHz (at maximum of 52 MHz
13:06:16funmanin high-speed mode)
13:07:34funmanwe don't set rx/tx fifo watermarks like expected by the pdf, but rather like the OF does
13:11:17bertrikfunman, it seems the AMSv2 has a deeper FIFO, right?
13:12:00funmancould be yes, i don't remember if we can read the FIFO size from the registers
13:12:52funman7.2.6 (page 386) is weird
13:13:18funmanthey say we must write CMDARG & CMD register for data transfers

14:16:47bertrikfunman, as far as I understand, the "normal speed" is 25 MHz max and "high speed" is 50 MHz max, but we only prepare the card for higher speed and don't actually raise the speed on the controller side.
14:17:01[Saint]wtf!?! idle timeout doesn't seem to respect HW buttons ;)
14:18:30bertrikTo reach high speed for the sd controller, I think we should use a peripheral clock of 48 MHz (and divide it by 2 for normal speed sd cards)
14:18:42bertrikOTOH, it's probably already plenty fast enough

17:40:35iLike_guest97[Saint] I've uninstalled rockbox, tried resetting my ipod to factory defaults (had to install iTunes... yuk) did an error check / bad sectors fix, reinstalled 3.8, added all skins, and still no joy =(
17:41:10[Saint]interesting.
17:41:16iLike_guest97I'm sure your skin is fine, and something is just wonky with my particular setup, but any ideas would be appreciated
17:42:01iLike_guest97really wanna use that theme in particular
17:43:06iLike_guest97might try adding iLike.cfg manually
17:43:30[Saint]I will have another go at reproducing this, I'll restore my Nano and try this with a 3.8 I didn't build myself.

17:44:47iLike_guest97seems to have worked fine for all other skins
17:45:17[Saint]I shall try install via Rbutil then, also.
17:45:34Buschelmaybe that is the cause...
17:46:14iLike_guest97good point
17:46:32Buschelyou might just try to unzip it to your iPod
17:46:42[Saint]It *shouldn't* be the cause...if it is, I'd like to know why.
17:50:21iLike_guest97I added the .cfg manually, and things seem ok now..
17:50:54[Saint]Hmmm...ok, weird. So RBUtil is messing something up somehow.
17:51:04iLike_guest97might add all files from the zip in case im missing anything (looks a little basic atm)
17:52:18iLike_guest97yeah, all files were missing

18:04:23CIA-2New commit by funman (r29624): SD amsv2: remove double assignement
18:04:29twoionGood evening, there. Right now, I am trying to perform a Sansa Clip+ unbrick as described at <http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaAMSUnbrick>. Having already openend the player and removed the battery, I am unable to release the board from the front panel because around the display it is stuck - so I can not access the pins I have to bridge in order to complete that unbrick procedure. I suspect the SANSA guys have applied the same sticky foam they
18:04:29twoion used to arrest the battery to the display borders. Can someone explain how I may get rid of that without breaking neither board nor display?

20:45:54gbl08maI was reading the 2011 Summer of Code wiki page, and while not actually pretending to work on any project, the multiple/relocatable plugins section looked very interesting...
20:46:53gbl08mathere it says that a new format for "plugins" might have to be defined; but if this project is really taken by someone and completed successfully, should we keep calling "plugins" to plugins?
20:47:06gevaertsWhy not?
20:47:07 Join Elfish [0] (amba@2a01:4f8:100:90a1:abc:abc:abc:abc)
20:47:43gevaertsI mean, either the name is appropriate or it isn't. That doesn't have much to do with how the implementation works
20:49:12gbl08maif I understand correctly, multiple plugins could be run at the same time (i'd call this multi-tasking), and the plugins would be stored in an executable file format.
20:49:14gbl08madoesn't this make plugins act more as applications than plugins?
20:49:26gevaertsNot really
20:49:58gevaertsDon't focus too much on the "run at the same time" bit. It doesn't have to mean multi tasking
20:51:31gbl08maspecially when most targets don't have enough memory for some heavy plugins (e.g. doom), now imagine what would be running multiple plugins in a multi-tasking way...
20:51:33gbl08maso, what does that "run at the same time" mean?
20:51:59gevaertsThe general idea is that there are several areas where we'd like plugins, but with the current mechanisms that means extra permanently allocated buffers. These areas include USB drivers, WPS visualisations, screen transitions, ...
20:52:29gevaertsThe idea is *not* (although I don't want to exclude it totally right now) to allow e.g. multiple games and switch between them
20:53:46gevaertsImagine things like running something like the current FFT plugin somewhere in the WPS. Being able to load that plugin into the WPS buffer makes that easy to do

20:54:19gbl08maso, the idea is to make memory allocation a bit less fixed?
20:54:51gevaertsCurrently you'd have to either allocate a new WPS visualisation buffer that's wasted space for anyone who doesn't want this sort of thing, or use the existing plugin buffer, which means no more battery bench. Either of those also means you can only have one of those plugins at a time
20:55:52gevaertsYes and no. It's more to allow things that the current fixed memory layout doesn't allow at all
20:57:07gevaertsFor the really full potential, you'd also need "Port buflib from the pluginlib over to the core and use it to allocate big buffers in a more dynamic way"

20:58:26gbl08maas an example: I have a keyboard patch I have applied in my custom builds (it's available in the tracker) that allocates some bytes for the automated word completion (which I don't use). These changes would make the allocation of these bytes for the completion dictionary variable according to the dictionary array size?
20:58:39amiconnAnother possibility would be visualisation plugins for the wps
20:59:09gevaertsgbl08ma: the buflib one would allow that sort of thing
20:59:27gevaertsAnd the plugin one would allow e.g. loadable keyboards
20:59:46gbl08maamiconn: something that, in my opinion, just drains battery and is fully dispensable, but I know there are many people with the opposite opinion and i respect it
21:00
21:00:01amiconnIt would (a) allow to have a few of them in parallel (on large screens, and with a sufficiently powerful cpu, e.g. gigabeat s), and (b) load some game plugin without unloading the visualisation
21:01:00gbl08magevaerts: don't we have already loadable keyboards? or are you talking about loadable input methods (who knows, handwriting recognition for touchscreens :)) ?
21:01:14gevaertsWe have loadable keyboard *layouts*
21:01:31gevaertsYes, "input methods" is a better term
21:02:24gbl08madoes the idea for GSoC include having plugins not fixed to a single build (but, perhaps, only to a plugin API version?)
21:02:43gevaertsThat's the case now in theory
21:02:53 Join ostinru [0] (~ostin@78-106-149-119.broadband.corbina.ru)
21:03:13gevaertsThe problem is that the API version has to be bumped manually, and it's hard to predict which changes require such a bump
21:03:39gbl08mawould the changes make installation of precompiled plugins possible? e.g. I download a plugin from the internet and copy to my device... no, that's dreaming too much, right?
21:03:53amiconnIt's not really hard imo, but because it's manual it is error prone
21:04:23 Quit [Saint] (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
21:04:32amiconn(way) back there even were a few such plugins already
21:04:33gevaertsThe problem is that e.g. a function like do_something(struct *some_struct) breaks whenever a member of some_struct changes a tiny bit
21:06:41gbl08mathat tiny bit would need to be enough for bumping the API version.
21:08:27gevaertsYes
21:09:15gevaertsBut the problem is that if you make a change somewhere in a low-level LCD driver, you may not realise that reordering those two variables in a struct you use means that the alignment changes which means that the plugin API breaks
21:09:16gbl08maperhaps we need a new plugin API versioning system, with major, minor and build fields, like "1.0.2". then each plugin would check if the plugin version meets the minimal API version.

21:52:24gevaertsGood to know. I had one battery eaten by my car (too many short charge cycles), so maybe I'll look into using the thing without battery
21:52:41gevaertsThat means instant poweroff with no warning of course
21:54:58silboYep
21:55:33gevaertsSo no bookmarks
21:55:34gevaertshm
21:55:50gevaertsOh well, a new battery every now and then isn't *that* expensive
21:56:39silboYea, but think of the nature

22:00:15peturI'm making the histogram meter more general purpose, so I'm removing all _recording references, including those in the LANG IDs. Can I just rename them or will this annoy somebody and must I deprecate the old one and copy it to a new ID?

22:03:00sideralpetur: You'll annoy somebody either way ;) But the right way seems to be to deprecate changing strings
22:04:26sideralpetur: Have a look at FS #12003 to see how to (not) use langtool.pl
22:04:34peturI know that is the right (official) way, I was just wondering if I clould get away with just a rename... I guess the feature was introduced too long ago to allow for a simple rename :/

22:08:06saratogasince at this point AMS is probably like half our userbase and they're fairly serious
22:08:09gevaertsyes
22:08:13Ubunewbhey everyone! I can't boot my original firmware after I installed rockbox on my ipod mini 2g, anyone know why?

22:12:28bluebrotherdidn't bother much about that though. I think I Ã"fixed" it with the reinstall when swapping the disk in the player
22:13:09Ubunewbso just reinstalled everything including original firmware and rockbox?

22:17:51sideralsaratoga: no (AFAIR), I only observed it when using USB, especially when doing fsck
22:18:00Ubunewboh now its in original firmware usb mode
22:18:09sideralprobably because fsck reads the boot sector backup at the end of the disk
22:18:11saratogaok so that bug may still be present
22:18:30gevaertsUbunewb: ok. If you now unplug, do you end up in the OF normally?

22:20:35sideralsaratoga: Same here. But I've come to the view that typically the DB is not at fault; it's just the first thing that crashes as it's the 1st piece of code that stresses the system
22:21:08Ubunewbgevaerts: so using itunes to restore the original firmware, and then install rockbox? so occasionally that bug happens?
22:21:17sideralsaratoga: Over-generalizing from the two DB issues I've helped debug in the past few weeks :)
22:21:34Ubunewbgevaerts: because after unstalling the bootloader, the original firmware works just fine
22:21:36saratogayeah i don't doubt that disk issues will crash teh db before anything else
22:21:49gevaertsUbunewb: hm. I haven't heard about this before
22:21:56gevaertsSo maybe wait for some more advice
22:22:12Ubunewbseems like there is some issue with the boot loader
22:22:17Ubunewbbut thanks for your help
22:22:45saratogai kind of doubt theres an issue with the bootloader
22:22:55saratogaits been like 3 years since anyone touched it, someone would have noticed by now
22:24:12sideralsaratoga: Well, I touched it, which is why I'm watching out for problems with it :)

23:24:26StefARMHi... i've been hanging out for a couple of days around here but not much was mentioned about gSoC. I, for one, am very interested in a particular project (with a couple of expansion ideas, too) but no one seemed to bring the topic up. So if there are any devs lurking about, I could use some idea-sharing :)

23:31:26ScarabDrownerI've noticed an issue with the Clip+ player. When I plug my USB-powered speakers into the Clip+, the sound comes through normally. However, if I plug another USB cable into my computer, and connect it to the Clip+ for power, the audio cuts out. If I power the Clip+ from a USB phone charger, the audio works properly. For some reason if both the speakers and Clip+ are powered from a computer, the audio doesn't work, save for a regular popping sound.
23:32:06ScarabDrownerI should clarify, this happens only when using Rockbox, and not when using the original firmware.

23:35:58StefARMsaratoga: sorry for the 6 min break. As I was saying: "sansa's various docks". The most probable protocols used in communications would be rs232 or i2c (usb is way to expensive implementation-wise to put on large scale production just for some relatively simple controls). But after cracking the 'phrasing' of the protocol, I was thinking that a standalone docking-station-emulator could be implemented. I personally am a fan of the ARM

23:40:45StefARMsaratoga: [continued-0] I personally am a fan of the ARM platform... and with a Cortex Mx processor that would be handy to implement (the standalone emulator). This would prove useful in a couple of ways:
23:41:46StefARM[continued-1] First of all, a better understanding of the Arm core by the community. This would surely aid in future development, given the popularity of arms in this kind of application
23:41:49ScarabDrownerNever mind, the same thing happens on originial firmware as well, if I can keep it from 'connecting' to the computer, the music cuts out and all that's left is a regular popping sound. Seems it's hardware and not firmware
23:42:29saratogaStefARM: we don't have any cortex-m devices, I think they don't run the ARM isa but some microcontroller one
23:43:15saratogabut either project would be considered if you're interested in them

23:43:49StefARMsaratoga: I was thinking at the cortex because I would have 4 types of platforms lying around...
23:44:16saratogathe goal of the emulator project is to emulate a specific mp3 player, not just an arm processor
23:44:22saratogathere are already many arm emulators for that
23:44:28 Quit ScarabDrowner (Quit: Sayonara)
23:45:43StefARMI think i dintn't make myself clear enough... sorry for that. I was actually talking about the reverse engineering project (the one with the docking stations) and how could a standalone separate platform could aid in data logging and/or signal replication for testing...
23:46:33StefARMnot about the arm emulator project, which i suspect is way over my head :laughs:
23:49:04StefARMThe main idea would be that in the process of reverse engineering the comm protocol, a separate platform with a couple of UARTS open could be used as a sniffer and data-packager between the two devices, and also as a logger ..
23:49:17StefARM...sending data to a pc for analysis etc.
23:50:56StefARMI have at my disposal a couple of oscilloscopes (even a 500mhz one) .. but I'm guessing not many people can take advantage of a logic analyzer or an oscilloscope for future testing/debugging or for new docking stations that may or may not come out on the market
23:52:03saratogaah ok that makes more sense
23:52:15saratogayeah you'd likely need someway to record communication
23:52:23StefARMthus the need for a configurable logic analyzer replacement - with configurable interfaces, baud rates etc from a host pc.
23:52:34saratogaalthough if its really rs232, it might be easier to just use a PC with a serial port as the snooper
