#rockbox log for 2012-03-23

00:06:26digineton those that have them, does Rockbox have any support for DSP? If not, is the design of RB conducive to adding support?
00:07:07 Quit LambdaCalculus37 (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
00:08:10wodzdiginet: could you be more specific?
00:08:56diginetwell, for example some of the SoCS used in various players have DSPs, like TMS320 and DSP56k, does Rockbox have any support for utilizing those?
00:09:26diginetand if not, is there a non-hackish way to add support? (not asking for someone to do it, just curious)
00:09:59gevaertsThe way I understand it, one major problem with hardware DSP is compiler support
00:10:12wodzdiginet: we use DSP in TMS320 in some way. Don't know the details though
00:11:06gevaertsAs far as I know we only use DSPs if things like audio or video are wired through them so we have no choice

00:12:59wodzyeah, free compiler are main blockers anyway
00:14:28saratogagenerally speaking, rockbox doesn't need to "support" a DSP
00:14:37saratogaif you can program it, you can run whatever you want on it
00:14:46saratogaregardless of what we support
00:15:25saratogaa programmable DSP is just a CPU, so you can do whatever you want on it
00:17:22wodzHeh, a2a dma engine on rk27xx is sooo inefficient. That partially explains poor sd performance. With dumb 4x ldr + stmia I get over 4 times better throughput for aligned access.

10:26:31swildehi *, IIRC it is possible to have more than one version of rockbox installed on a device in different directories. How does one boot one of the non default installations?
10:27:49wodzswilde: you can rolo()
10:28:18wodzswilde: I mean while in rockbox select in filebrowser firmware file
10:28:36swildewodz: Ah, thank you!
10:28:40wodzthe resource will be used from .rockbox always though
10:28:49wodz*resources
10:28:51davoit seems it might have something to do with the 'export ARCH=unknown' in the Makefile, if the compiler doesn't know what arch my machine is :\

10:54:45wodzat least on my DAP
10:55:06mortaliscool
10:56:54davofound out what the problem with building the simulator was, the Makefile just needed the location of arm-elf-eabi-gcc
10:56:58davoall works now
10:57:04davothanks btw
10:57:20wodzdavo: you should have it in your PATH don't you :-)
10:57:42 Quit factor (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
10:58:21mortaliswodz: what is used in OF for sd transfers?
10:58:23davono, i think rockbox.sh manually installed it, but it never got added to my PATH
10:58:31davobut good point, it should be there :)
10:59:17gevaertsdavo: that's definitely not it. You don't need arm-elf-eabi-gcc for the simulator
10:59:56gevaertsThat error looks like you tried to use a directory for building a simulator that had a non-sim build in it without cleaning first though
11:00
11:00:24davowell i dunno what else it could be, without it in the Makefile i was getting that build error
11:00:26wodzmortalis: simple loop but I didn't checked if ms compiler do something smart with it.
11:01:01davobut i just watned to state for the record that i resolved it in case anyone had seen my post
11:01:32lebelliumwhat do you think guys, should the FMS display the current preset name even in scan mode?
11:03:28wodzdavo, our dev script gives you a message after successful install that you should add it to your PATH
11:04:19davoah, then that was clearly my mistake not to notice that message
11:04:28davomy bad, and thanks for pointing that out

13:00
13:01:01wodzyes
13:02:08Torneand you want to support efficient writes to unaligned destination buffers
13:02:30wodzyes
13:05:23Tornei'd honestly suggest not bothering
13:05:30Torne:)
13:05:36Torneand just aligning all the targets
13:06:22Torneif you're always reading a sector then requiring word alignment is not exactly onerous
13:07:27wodzhow is alignment handled in our storage system then?
13:07:45Tornebadly, generally
13:07:57Torne:)
13:08:13Tornei would strongly support removing support for non-word-aligned storage accesses in *all* the storage drivers
13:08:19Torneand fixing all the code that breaks :)
13:08:32wodzeek, go for it :-)
13:08:55Tornein fact, in general we want cache line aligned storage buffers where feasible
13:09:03Torneso that DMA is easier
13:09:28Torneanyway, i don't desperately want to sit down and poke at your asm right now to validate it
13:09:39wodzok no problem
13:09:39Torneespecially since i'm supposedly at work :)
13:09:49Torneif you think it's worth having i may look at it later
13:09:55Tornebut i would generally vote that it's not :p

15:12:06wodzwhat you mean?
15:13:16diginethmm, I guess I'm not sure :P
15:14:00diginetI've been trying to find a suitable SoC for this DIY DAP project, but none of the otherwise suitable ones have I2C
15:15:04diginetThe only one I could find was that SFC5200 chip in the Hx0, but I feel it's kind of old, I'm scared Freescale might discontinue it or something
15:15:23digineterrr, I2S not I2C, sorry
15:16:31wodzHx0 uses scf5249/5250 this is quite different from other members of 5200
15:16:52wodzThere are lots of nice SoCs.
15:17:08diginetsorry, I meant 5250
15:17:34wodzI thought 5249/50 are discontinued
15:17:43diginetI'd kind of prefer to use Coldfire, because I know more about 68k/Coldfire than ARM
15:17:48diginetnope, they're still around
15:17:53diginetsurpsingly
15:18:25diginetI wish they had faster Coldfire+ MCUs, those would be otherwise perfect, but they're too slow, only 50mhz
15:18:28wodzlast time I asked for sample they answered me this is discontinued line of products

15:19:17wodz5249 goes up to ~130MHz (we use 124 in boost mode)
15:20:15wodzIf you want to try something new, there are a few Cortex-M3 chips with external mem bus.

15:20:45diginetthere's also those, although they're BGA. I can do most SMD stuff, not BGA though
15:21:01diginetI know, I'm just not too familiar with ARM
15:21:15wodzarm is quite easy

16:01:54gevaertsemulation isn't exactly a CPU-friendly thing to do, and DAPs tend not to have massive CPUs
16:02:20Tornemost targets are several times too slow to run a gameboy properly under all circumstances
16:02:29tjb0607_yeah
16:02:41tjb0607_the sound just makes it die
16:03:00Tornewell, sound and graphics are what make it die (emulating the cpu is pretty trivial)
16:03:09Tornebut you can't generally turn the graphics off in a game :p
16:03:18Torneso saving that part is not really an option :P
16:11:56tjb0607_I find it kind of funny that Doom runs faster with sound than Pokemon
16:12:17Tornedoom isn't emulated.
16:12:35Torneeven if it were, the graphics hardware in a basic PC of that era is *much* cheaper to emulate than the gameboy's
16:13:17Tornebecause classic pc graphics hardware is a dumb 2d framebuffer (like ours!) - the gameboy's is a hardware sprite and tilemap engine with affine transforms

16:43:44vsrinivashi folks! just started using Rockbox on a sansa clip, am really impressed, particularly w/ Crossfeed!
16:44:25vsrinivasam looking at bringing rockbox's crossfeed to my desktop in-fact :); the basic implementation looks fairly straightforward.
16:44:56vsrinivashas anyone tinkered with more sophisticated (fft-based?) ways of doing it?
16:45:28vsrinivasand for some other things, is there an fft in the rockbox tree?
16:46:34 Join saratoga_ [0] (980329e4@gateway/web/freenode/ip.152.3.41.228)
16:47:56saratoga_vsrinivas: yes there are FFts available in rockbox
16:48:13saratoga_i don't know how you would use an fft for crossfeed, I don't think it would be useful
16:49:20vsrinivasiiuc you'd want to mix some frequency bands more than others?
16:49:29 Join benedikt93 [0] (~benedikt9@unaffiliated/benedikt93)
16:49:42saratoga_vsrinivas: a filter is a more efficient way to do that
16:49:58saratoga_i believe this is what the current implementation does
16:50:07vsrinivasit is;
16:53:41vsrinivasre: filter −− the filter would definitely be more efficient. but if i want a little equalizer-like-thingy to modify gains on each band, seemed more straightforward w/ fft?;
16:56:32vsrinivasit is surprising how many computrons these little mp3 players have too!
16:57:11saratoga_EQ is generally done with filters as well
16:57:39saratoga_FFTs are problematic because the bands are uniformly spaced and of equal size, which is usually not what you want
16:58:56saratoga_for simple things like adjusting a band's gain, its often easier to just design a simple bandpass, apply the gain, and then mix it back in
16:59:13saratoga_you don't require a sharp edge, so very basic filters will work
17:00
17:03:25vsrinivasfair, i was referring to modifying crossfeed gains, but that makes sense for EQ.

18:57:02saratogaand the known issues have been fixed

19:24:17diginetwhat was the last iteration of ARM that wasn't thumb-2?
19:24:26diginethmmm
19:24:45saratogaarmv4/5/6 targets are likely to be easiest, i'm not sure how much changed with thumb2
19:24:48diginetwell, I originally wanted to use the Coldfire in the Hx0, but I think its deprecated
19:25:51diginetI wish Freescale offerred faster versions of their Coldfire+ MCUs, they're perfect save for maxing out at 50mhz
19:26:07saratogai have no idea what the new cortex processors are like in terms of support,, although maybe someone here could tell you
19:26:14saratogathey're so far too new to be in mp3 players

19:36:55saratogaare we releasing for the Zip? I think some stuff is still missing like a theme and such
19:38:20bertrikZip is stable enough for daily use and people can always install a theme themselves
19:38:57saratogayeah but we should at least have a default theme and such
19:39:03funmanmanual too
19:39:28bertrikshould we hold off support in RockboxUtility for that?
19:39:32saratogaif its working but stuff is missing we should make it a stable target but not release IMO

19:43:13bertrikthe cabbiev2 theme doesn't appear to get applied completely if it's used as a builtin theme, it works fine (for me) when selected manually
19:43:35saratogathat was because the font wasn't set in settings_list.c right?
19:44:33bertrikand I think some other problem too, the little icons in front of menu items IIRC

20:46:49[7]did nano2g usb ever work with the new driver?
20:46:54[7]why not just use the old one?

20:47:58gevaertsIf the old driver is an option, I'd definitely prefer that
20:50:01funmani don't know if the new driver works, because the old driver was broken by usb.c changes

20:54:09[7]gevaerts: can you give me an executive summary on the usb core changes?

21:00
21:01:15gevaerts[7]: nearly nothing, really. If you have USB_DETECT_BY_REQUEST (which was called USB_DETECT_BY_CORE before) now usb.c decides that the host is there when it sees a transfer completion, instead of usb_core.c when it saw a control transfer. If you don't have USB_DETECT_BY_REQUEST (which IIRC is the case for the nano2g) I don't think anything changed in practice at all
21:01:44gevaertsI'd like to see the nano2g (and classic) move to USB_DETECT_BY_REQUEST, by the way
21:04:24funmani can try a patch for that, i have no idea how to implement it
21:04:43funmanwhen other drivers were converted, I only saw code removal inside usb drivers
21:07:52gevaertsI *think* it's just a matter of changing config.h
21:10:09[7]gevaerts: I tried to move the nano2g to that when it was introduced, and it didn't want to work at the first try
21:10:20[7]and, as usual, I didn't have much time to investigage
21:10:22[7]investigate*
21:10:36gevaerts3f709ead is the change for amsv1, and 82259b7a is amsv2
21:10:42[7]i probably just didn't understand correctly how this needs to be implemented
21:11:17[7]so you say bfd69f2aa19 broke it?
21:11:35[7]where can I get a diff of that?

21:15:22[7]how does that one fail?
21:17:04[7]looks like what has changed is basically when the driver is being started/stopped
21:17:43[7]AFAIK the old nano2g driver reports a spurious bus reset while starting up the usb core
21:18:23[7]and the whole insert/extract magic is controlled by a thread that's polling vbus
21:18:35funmanwhere's that thread?
21:18:54[7]in usb-s3c6400x.c, somewhere at the bottom

22:17:01[7]short term: revert to the old driver and figure out why that core change broke it
22:17:32[7]long term: double-check everything and bisect between a working driver and the current state
22:18:28[7]i.e. do dumps of all OTG, PHY and SYSCON registers at the point where the lockup happens both with the broken and a working driver, and look for differences

22:19:33funman[7]: i mean please give a diff for 'figure out why that core change broke it
22:19:56funmanor list of registers to watch
22:20:57[7]funman: is usb_detect being called regularly in bfd69f2aa19? if not, why?
22:21:59funmani don't know
22:22:09[7]add some logf() then :)
22:22:36funmani mean in my current code usb_detect works so it's not very interesting
22:23:05funmanusb_reset() is called - and here the core never acks reset

22:30:02[7]funman: I think we might be facing different bugs with those two drivers
22:30:12[7]and I figure getting the old one to work again will be easier
22:30:23funmanthat's what i'm doing ..
22:30:35funmanall your commits that 'fix USB' since last december didn't work for me
22:30:39[7]we should fix the new one as well at some point, but if we aren't even sure whether that did ever work, we don't really have time for that now
22:30:50funmanno, i don't care about the new one either
22:30:55funmani'll do that later
22:31:08[7]so IIUC bfd69f2aa19 did break the old one
22:31:18funmani pasted the old driver i'm using and i gave the exact revision in the irc log i mentioned
22:31:35[7]my next step would be trying to figure out what exactly is going on with it, i.e. *why* it actually broke, because I can't see an obvious reason
22:32:03[7]so I'd try building bfd69f2aa19 with a logf in usb_detect, to check if that one is even called. if not, that might explain the whole trouble. if it is, we'll need to dig deeper
22:33:16***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
22:33:58funmanlogf? i use panicf
22:34:23[7]that wouldn't help us if it's called just once
22:34:41[7]for that particular one I'd use logf and check if the log is being spammed with lots of calls to it
22:35:01*funman needs to see how to use logf
22:35:54[7]if nothing has changed since I used it for the last time: #define LOGF_ENABLE #include "logf.h"
22:36:08[7]select advanced, logf in configure
22:36:23[7]and add logf("whatever") calls in the code
22:37:38funmanyes, it's called frequently
22:38:47[7]what's the USB failure behavior with that revision? just not detected at all?
22:38:55[7]or do you at least get a USB screen?
22:41:50funmaninfinite loop
22:42:01funmanin usb_reset(); , so before USB screen

22:44:30[7]funman: er, wait... you're trying to tell me that this particular commit caused GRSTCTL & 1 to not be cleared any more?
22:45:27funmanyes, that's what i'm telling
22:46:40[7]am I correct that usb_stack_enable ends up calling usb_drv_init/usb_drv_exit
22:47:29 Quit stoffel (Remote host closed the connection)
22:50:01[7]funman: it never gets past this?
22:50:01[7]while (GRSTCTL & GRSTCTL_csftrst); /* Wait for OTG to ack reset */
22:51:17funmanyes, that's what i'm telling

22:54:07[7]funman: can you dump the following regs immediately before asserting CSFTRST? PWRCON, PWRCONEXT, PCGCCTL, GRSTCTL, INTMSK
22:54:38[7]after that, can you check if the usb irq handler is ever called?
22:58:41[7]and the new driver shows the same behavior?
