It doesn't hurt to keep them, in case there will be another 16 bit porting effort.

15:48:56andaiis there any progress happening around iPod classic? I read something a few years ago about apple making it difficult/impossible to load new firmware on it, but that seems to have been overcome?
15:49:37n1sandai: rockbox works on the classic
15:49:46n1sit's a bit tricky to install
15:50:14andaiit says to use emCORE
15:50:24andaiis that an alternative iPod OS on its own?
15:50:49n1syes, emcore can then start rockbox
15:50:53andai:D

15:52:54copperI didn't manage to install emCORE under Windows 7, it was much easier under linux
15:53:30copperanyway, I can attest that Rockbox runs pretty nicely on the Classic
15:54:23andaicopper: any issues with stability or battery life?
15:54:30n1scopper: you know that the classic build is built by the buildsystem, right? http://build.rockbox.org/data/rockbox-ipodclassic.zip
15:54:30copperstability no
15:54:36copperI'm still evaluating battery life
15:54:47TheSevenn1s: that's a stability-patched build I think
15:55:03andaicopper: How long do you get on average? I used to have ridiculously long times with my iPod Classic 120GB
15:55:06n1sTheSeven: stability patched how?
15:55:11andai[ with the uh, original fw ]
15:55:36TheSevenandai: I'd estimate ~25h with the original firmware, ~15-20h with rockbox
15:55:38copperandai: I installed it only recently, so I can't give you a figure yet
15:55:42TheSevenso a bit less, but still plenty
15:56:00copperandai: apparently you can use Musepack to increase playback battery life
15:56:15TheSevenn1s: I think it has some nasty hack for that IRQ mode mutex deadlock bug
15:56:26n1sTheSeven: i thought the stability issues were taken care of
15:56:28TheSevenI've been a bit out of the loop recently, no idea if a fix for that was ever committed
15:56:54TheSeveni only saw some discussion on the ML with a lot of arguing and no clear decision on the right way to fix it

15:58:35andaiwhat was the main challenge in getting cutom firmware on the iPod classic, and how was it overcome?
15:58:46copperMusepack −−insane is smaller than AAC/MP3 256
15:58:49andai[ and how long ago? I, too have been out of the loop :/
15:59:09TheSevenandai: well they did all hell of firmware signing stuff to prevent us from executing custom code
15:59:17TheSevenand there is no documentation on these chips at all
15:59:18n1sTheSeven: http://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=commit;h=7ec426e this was committed and i thought it should fix the random crashes, i never experienced them myself
15:59:35TheSevenah, right
15:59:56TheSevenso he found a way to circumvent the "i2c in irq mode" issue as a whole
16:00
16:00:09n1sTheSeven: yeah it seems so
16:00:10TheSeventhat might indeed mean that master is just as stable now
16:00:24TheSevenbut that build probably had some more patches, like enabling clock/voltage scaling
16:00:36TheSevenif that has proven to work well we could apply it to master as well
16:00:45n1sso that linked build is just a custom build with a couple of patches from gerrit and some further undervolting it seems
16:00:54TheSevenprobably
16:01:04TheSevenand probably even some older fix for that hold switch bug
16:01:16andaiwhat are the main power consumers on an iPod? backlight, cpu, phones output?

16:03:10andaiI've long dreamed of an iPod classic sized device with the hard drive replaced by a larger battery and MicroSDHC cards ( You'd need 5 to match the original storage )
16:03:21coppern1s: btw, I didn't see the classic build linked from the website
16:03:32TheSevenandai: actually, with a lot of hacking, that might be possible
16:03:33n1scopper: the link isn't visible
16:03:58andaiTheSeven: *this* is what I want to do when I grow up :D
16:04:18TheSeventhose ipods do in fact have an SD controller
16:04:38coppern1s: which is why I downloaded the dropbox build
16:04:44TheSeventhey talk an sd-card like protocol to one particular hdd model
16:04:47TheSevencalled CE-ATA
16:04:47n1si don't quite remember why it's hidden, probably due to the "unusable" status
16:05:17n1sperhaps it's time to move it up to unstable
16:05:31andaiThis is perhaps more of a general question, but how can I transition from being someone who writes basic php into someone who writes iPod firmware?
16:05:34TheSevenn1s: IMO we need a better installation method for that
16:05:46TheSevenandai: that's a steep learning curve
16:05:51coppern1s: it's definitely usable
16:05:55copperthe build I got anyway
16:06:10Zagorn1s: yes, we only list stable and unstable builds for download. not the "unusable" ones.
16:06:12n1sTheSeven: maybe, that does seem to be the remaining big issue.
16:06:17TheSevencopper: the installation method is the part that isn't really usable
16:06:21saratogai think that dropbox build is just more EQ bands and gordon's file system patch
16:06:48andaiTheSeven I think (hope) it fits within a broader category of programming skills, my other interests include networking and AI :D
16:06:59Zagorsomeone should add that info to the web page...

16:09:27TheSevenassembly language programming (or more importantly reading disassemblies of apple code), generally some good knowledge of the ARM architecture, some knowledge of commonly used communication protocols/interfaces, a bit system-on-chip design can't hurt
16:11:18ZagorTheSeven: well, that's what you need for reverse-engineering. for just contributing to rockbox you don't have to be an expert in all those areas.
16:13:00andaiZagor, TheSeven: Maybe I can start out by redesigning things like this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/Wps-brushedmetalh300wps.png
16:13:29Zagorandai: that is one way to contribute, but it doesn't really get you any closer to programming for your ipod
16:13:47andaiTheSeven: Does your profession involve much of the knowledge and skills associated with contributing to Rockbox?
16:13:54TheSevennot at all

16:17:22copperboth, from what I can tell
16:19:20andaioh, the guide says i need iTunes ( at least, that having iTunes will allow me to take the easier path ). Does 32/64bit matter?
16:19:34coppernah you don't need iTunes
16:20:11andaiA] Install iTunes B] Install a custom device driver for the iPod (advanced users only)

22:03:57n1sandai: you can apply a precut (negative gain) with the EQ to lower the volume further
22:04:37n1si don't know if we could make the dac go lower, in some there are multiple gain settings that can be used
22:05:12copperI'm surprised it goes down to -60 dB
22:05:26copperthe spec for the chip says "Analog Volume Control (+12 to -55 dB in 1 dB steps)"
22:05:51copperthough it also says "Master Volume Control (+12 to -102 dB in 0.5 dB steps)"
22:06:00copperhttp://cirrus.com/en/products/cs42l55.html
22:06:04n1sit probably has a digital gain too
22:06:37n1sso by combining the two you can get a larger range (as i said above :))
22:07:37 Quit stoffel (Remote host closed the connection)
22:08:57saratogaits not digital gain, its the mixer gain
22:09:23saratogatheres basically two amps, one right after the DAC in the mixer, and another in the headphone amplifier
22:09:45saratogathe mixer one impacts everything, line out, headphone, ADC, while the headphone one is just for the headphone port
22:10:04saratogausually you can stack them to get huge gain range, although who knows how well the system really works at extremely low voltages
22:10:27copperwhich one does rockbox control?
22:11:23n1scopper: depends on which dac (driver) it is
22:11:56n1ssaratoga: i'm sure i've seen digital gain for some dac we have, might be the one in the beast (it has an eq too...)
22:12:50saratogawhat would be the point of that? you can apply digital gain just by shifting your samples
22:12:54saratogano need for hardware support
22:17:12copperwouldn't that increase / decrease volume by a full 6 dB?
22:18:06saratogadoes that matter?
22:18:08n1ssaratoga: it claims to have "DAC digital Vol" which goes from -127dB to 0 in 0.5 steps but it's a bit unclear how it's done
22:18:34saratogai assume that means digitally controlled volume, not that its taking your samples and then automatically shifting them for you
22:18:43saratogaat least i hope thats what its doing, the other way is kind of crappy
22:18:52saratoga-127dB on 16 bit audio is less then mute!
22:19:20copperChuck Norris could still hear it
22:19:26saratoga(although i suppose they could do 60dB of analog control and 70dB of digital or something like that)
22:21:00saratogathe only device i've seen that I know does digital volume control is the ingenic chips, but they don't do it in the dac, they make the sound card driver implement it
22:24:57n1scopper: from a quick glance it seems the driver for the cirrus dac in the classic is only adjusting hp volume so it's possible there's some other gain setting that caould mgive larger range

22:36:38TheLemonManI have some issues with this ARC controller, the kernel sees it but cant read the descriptors
22:37:18n1shmm, there's a master volume setting in the cirrus but our driver uses that only for prescaling the volume for the tone controls
22:40:59saratogais there a datasheet for it?
22:43:38copper20:06:01 UTC <copper> http://cirrus.com/en/products/cs42l55.html
22:47:27saratogathat does look like it does digital volume in the mixer
22:49:06saratogaoh, its not actually meant for volume control, its meant to allow you to adjust the relative volume of channels before digital effects and mixing
22:49:09saratogai guess that makes sense

23:06:34copperand to 16 bit I assume?
23:07:53n1syeah samples are truncated or dithered to 16 bit
23:08:59saratogado we use 16 bit on the classic?
23:10:04n1sdon't we always?
23:10:33saratogaah yeah looks like it
23:10:48saratogathe dac supports 24 bit so i guess we could pass it 24 bit samples if it made a difference
23:10:55saratogaprobably not worth it though
23:11:06copperit would only get you audiophile cred
23:12:51copperbut I'm guessing audiophiles would still use external DACs
23:12:54n1ssome other dacs alos support 24 but i think that it makes i2s transfers take twice the time as 16 bit samples can be packed or something so the cost is not insignificant while the gain is questionable
23:15:03n1si guess that depends on limitations in the hardware

23:48:47saratogawe talked about this recently
23:48:55AlexPYou're better off resampling on your PC atm
23:49:01copperand I guess you could refrain from crossfading when two consecutive tracks don't have matching sampling rates
23:49:03saratogathe conclusion was that it wasn't worthwhile to allow multiple sampling rates
23:49:20saratogaalthough it might make sense to have the choice of which sampling rate everything gets converted to be up to the user
