| 07:12:02 | * | [Saint] seems to be having an "overly descriptive forum post" day... |
| 07:16:38 | [Saint] | Hmmmmm...wha? |
| 07:16:56 | [Saint] | Why is the iPod Video's CPU frequency at 11289600 |
| 07:17:14 | [Saint] | My understanding is that it runs at 24MHz, 30MHz, or 80MHz. |
| 07:19:33 | [Saint] | (also, why is it that the iPod Video actually has a 24MHz configuration, but AFAIK this can only be accessed via the System -> Debug (Keep Out!) -> CPU frequency page by pressing Select...?) |
| 07:33:29 | soap | buschel would be the one to ask about ipod CPU speeds IIRC, [Saint] |
| 07:35:17 | * | [Saint] cannot remember how to overclock/underclock the PPs. |
| 07:35:45 | [Saint] | I know I did previously have one running at 24MHz/100MHz (default is 24/80) |
| 07:35:56 | [Saint] | *30/80 |
| 07:37:37 | | Quit Zagor (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) |
| 07:40:46 | [Saint] | I mean...wouldn't that make the iPod Video's max CPU something like 11MHz? |
| 07:42:34 | [Saint] | If I go with what I know, my mind is telling me that it should be '#define CPU_FREQ 80000000' |
| 07:45:01 | [Saint] | soap: sorry, I didn't see your reply - there's a slight problem with that, though, I haven't seen buschel in many moons... |
| 07:46:03 | [Saint] | soap: you have a few of the PP iPods, no? I don't suppose you have any of the old under/overclocking patches floating around do you? |
| 07:47:20 | [Saint] | ...hmmm, not that they would be valid anymore. |
| 07:49:44 | [Saint] | Hahahaha....gotta love comments like this buried in the CPU setup stuffs: |
| 07:49:47 | [Saint] | "/* what's this do? */" |
| 07:57:22 | *** | Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" |
| 07:59:43 | [Saint] | Additionally, what is the difference between CPU_DEFAULT and CPU_NORMAL? |
| 08:00 |
| 08:00:46 | | Join wodz [0] (~wodz@87-207-223-0.dynamic.chello.pl) |
| 08:02:39 | wodz | [Saint]: I don't know how general it is but according to my understanding CPU_DEFAULT is the default speed cpu is in after power-up (with PLL turned off). It is used on some players which can turn off PLL to save some power (coldfires only?), CPU_NORMAL is well normal speed rb configures clock to |
| 08:03:37 | [Saint] | the PPs can also turn off PLL, iiuc. |
| 08:03:39 | [Saint] | Also, thanks. |
| 08:04:17 | [Saint] | So its the "cpu fre we boot in until something takes over", if I were to /reaaaaaly/ simplify the description? |
| 08:05:00 | wodz | I guess this is not general rule as sometimes some rom code runs before we take over |
| 08:06:15 | wodz | for example on rk27xx virgin boot gives you 12MHz clock BUT nand bootloader which runs before rb bootloader sets this clock to 200MHz |
| 08:06:19 | [Saint] | Right, pretty sure I have this worked out now. |
| 08:07:27 | [Saint] | I set it up so that I can comment out sections/uncomment sections and test to see how far I can go before stuff starts falling over. |
| 08:07:55 | [Saint] | I can now range from 15MHz to 120MHz, but I doubt that will be stable at all. |
| 08:08:17 | [Saint] | I'm going to give 24/100MHz a go first. |
| 08:09:15 | [Saint] | AFter that I may give 110MHz a go, but I really doubt it. |
| 08:10:14 | wodz | [Saint]: the NORMAL freq should be choosen such as most of your audio collection decode unboosted |
| 08:11:07 | wodz | [Saint]: So 30 vs 24 you may gain nothing depending on files you play. |
| 08:11:32 | [Saint] | ~2mA |
| 08:11:42 | [Saint] | Its not much, but, its something. |
| 08:12:04 | wodz | yes unless your player starts to boost to keep the playback |
| 08:12:18 | [Saint] | (that's ancient measurements, though, maybe this has increased or decreased by now...I can check) |
| 08:12:35 | [Saint] | The device shouldn't ever boost unless it needs to refill the buffer. |
| 08:12:44 | [Saint] | GUI boost is disabled, and its only playing flac. |
| 08:13:15 | [Saint] | SO I expect I could probably go lower than 24MHz, but the GUI will probably start to suffer much below that. |
| 08:13:50 | wodz | You are not right. If you need 38.30MHz for realtime playback (vorbis_500.ogg according to our CodecPerformanceComparison) it will definitely boost |
| 08:14:15 | wodz | 30MHz is quite good compromise |
| 08:14:19 | [Saint] | "and its only playing flac" |
| 08:15:12 | | Join LinusN [0] (linus@giant.haxx.se) |
| 08:15:22 | wodz | ah, right with flacs you can go lower probably |
| 08:15:31 | [Saint] | Flac needs something like 10MHz |
| 08:15:41 | wodz | like 12 :-) |
| 08:15:53 | [Saint] | ...did it get worse? |
| 08:16:29 | [Saint] | Oh, hmmmm, I see...right. 12MHz for flac8 |
| 08:16:37 | wodz | http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CodecPerformanceComparison#Portal_Player_40ARM7TDMI_41 says flac_5 is 11.50 flac_8 is 12.26 |
| 08:16:55 | [Saint] | That was in 2010 though, I suspect we've gotten better since then. |
| 08:17:03 | [Saint] | One way to find out I guess. |
| 08:17:10 | wodz | feel free to run benchmark and update the wiki |
| 08:17:55 | wodz | BTW. I think I start to understand how FTL on rk27xx is organized. |
| 08:18:24 | [Saint] | Prod TheSeven, he's some form of FTL mastermind. |
| 08:18:37 | [Saint] | (and, a general mastermind as well) |

| 13:54:47 | soap | [Saint], buschel's patches for the 5th / 1stNano are still on the tracker, including extensive commentary as he tried each one, He. personally, was a strong proponent of running sub 30 and boosting as needed since his default playback "style" (musepak, no EQ) fit well into a sub 24Mhz envelope. |
| 13:55:55 | [Saint] | I am now looking into a POC of multiple boost levels. |
| 13:56:30 | [Saint] | I think it may be beneficial on some targets to only boost as much as required, on others, notsomuch. |
| 13:56:42 | soap | that has been discussed many times in the past and dismissed. What do you feel it offers over the current idea of Clock as low as possible and boost for as short of time as possible? |
| 13:57:22 | [Saint] | What it offers really depends on how power-efficient the given SoC is. |
| 13:57:30 | *** | Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" |
| 13:57:37 | soap | The consensus has long been that boosting for N seconds at X speed is the equal in all but the most insignificant of digits to boost for 0.5N at 2X |
| 13:58:06 | soap | That unless you have fine grained voltage scaling... |
| 13:58:21 | [Saint] | Indeed. |
| 13:58:42 | soap | I can't speak for any SoC outside the PP ones, but there is (scattered) extensive power draw measurements both direct and indirect on this for them. |
| 14:00 |
| 14:00:21 | soap | Gotta remember for just how long the PP502x ate WAY too much battery while the 5G was the dominant player on the market. A metric asston of testing of all sorts was done on it trying to weasel out inches before the feet were finally cut out. |
| 14:00:46 | soap | Not to mention all the power consumption testing done while doing the dual-core work. |
| 14:00:55 | soap | excuse me. COP |
| 14:01:35 | [Saint] | Hahaha, yes. Co-processor...geeez man. :P |
| 14:03:19 | pamaury | One would need more data but it is unclear if multiple boost levels would bring anything. Power efficiency decreases very quickly with frequency and voltahe so it might be better to run at top speed for a short time and then go into very deep sleep, rather than staying at constant mid level |

| 16:45:54 | | Part LinusN |
| 16:47:13 | amayer | I know we can put emCore + rockbox on iClassic 7G is this something we should put on our homepage? or is it just by happenstance that it works on 7G and we dont support it at all yet? |
| 16:54:38 | [Saint] | No, its definitely not something we want on the front page. |
| 16:54:54 | [Saint] | Doing so would imply it is supported, which it is not. |
| 16:55:53 | [Saint] | While somewhat intertwined, freemyipod and Rockbox are two seperate projects. |
| 16:56:42 | [Saint] | Enough people figure out the process now as it is to make things a headache sometimes. |
| 16:57:12 | copper | people who want to do it figure it out easy enough |
| 16:57:23 | copper | requires little googling |
| 16:57:43 | [Saint] | They don't seem to care that its two different projects, and that the port status is "unusable" (in no small part sue to the fact that thereis no officially supported installation procedure). |
| 16:58:22 | [Saint] | Advertising emCORE seems to me like the exact opposite of what is wanted presently. |
| 16:58:41 | [Saint] | Well, perhaps not the exact opposite, but definitely not "a good thing (TM)". |
| 16:59:32 | [Saint] | s/sue/due/ |
| 17:00 |
| 17:01:05 | [Saint] | At least the way things are currently gaurds somewhat against the completely technically challenged. |
| 17:03:13 | [Saint] | Another issue is places like HeadFi, Hydrogenaudio et al touting the port, complete with misleading and/or terribly worded, and/or outright wrong installation instructions, a fucktonne of "facts" about it, and unsupported binaries galore with who knows what changed in them because very few people understand GPL requirements or simply don't care. |
| 17:04:38 | [Saint] | Of course, no one is stopping anyone from crafting a Rockbox bootloader. |
| 17:05:07 | [Saint] | Automated installation on Windows is one of the real PITAs. |
| 17:07:32 | * | [Saint] is reasonably certain that a majority of persons related to both projects will agree with this |
| 17:09:12 | [Saint] | The tl;dr version is: "enough people use the port to supply competant testers, and more than enough people come to us seeking support for the port that they shouldn't technically be getting any support for whatsoever - as they can't (technically) install it in any Rockbox-blessed way" |
| 17:11:12 | amayer | [Saint]: I get what your saying but Rockbox can run on iClassic 7G correct? (as long as you supply bootloader. see: emCore) |
| 17:11:25 | lebellium | pamaury: are you only interested in porting Rockbox to some Sony players or do you also want to keep the players afterwards? |
| 17:11:26 | [Saint] | Everything a user needs to know about the iPod Classic in reference to Rockbox is already listed on the front page. |
| 17:11:38 | [Saint] | And, yes. I didn't realize this was in dispute? |
| 17:12:22 | amayer | it is not. im just wondering what the difference is that iClassic 6G is listed on the homepage but iClassic 7G is not |
| 17:12:37 | [Saint] | Its the same port, that's why. |
| 17:12:50 | gevaerts | amayer: I believe the basic issue is that whether there actually *is* a 7G is a point of contention :) |
| 17:13:01 | [Saint] | also, this ^ |
| 17:13:08 | gevaerts | (it's *very* similar to a 6G) |
| 17:13:50 | gevaerts | Oh well, I guess s@6G@6G/7G@ wouldn't hurt |
| 17:14:35 | [Saint] | If you had said "should we do s/Classic 6G/Classic 6-7G/ and left emCORE out of the conversation entirely I would've been able to follow what you were saying a bit easier. |
| 17:14:41 | amayer | [Saint]: gevaerts: thats what i was wondering. if they actually were different, and if 6G/7G should be listed together on the homepage |
| 17:14:43 | [Saint] | There's no harm in making that change. |
| 17:14:53 | [Saint] | But we should make no reference to emCORE, at all. |
| 17:15:26 | amayer | [Saint]: you are correct i should have asked my 2nd question instead of including emcore in it |
| 17:16:33 | [Saint] | I think the only reason it isn;t simply "Classic" is because most users seem to think that Classic == "any non-touch, non-nano iPod" which confuses things even further. :) |
| 17:17:22 | [Saint] | Between Apple's weird change with adding "Classic" to the iPods, and Wikipedia inventing a naming scheme out of the blue, it makes identification quite difficult. |

| 17:19:30 | gevaerts | [Saint]: you're forgetting the intermediate updates!~ |
| 17:19:40 | [Saint] | As you can see, with the 6/7G, it clearly is an extension of the "iPod" line...so, it really should just be "iPod 6/7G", *or* "iPod Classic 1/2G" |
| 17:19:42 | gevaerts | e.g. the 5.5G |
| 17:19:47 | [Saint] | ...but, they ...didn't. |
| 17:19:52 | [Saint] | For no reason I can fathom. |
| 17:19:54 | gevaerts | Also, IIUC there are *three* Classic revisions |
| 17:20:06 | [Saint] | the 6.5 is in contention afaik. |
| 17:20:16 | amayer | My iClassic 6G battery is only lasting ~2-3 hours after 6 years of VERY HEAVY use. and i was thinking about getting a new one. but im not sure if i can find a new 6G so if i get a 7G i just want to make sure i can rockbox it |
| 17:20:22 | [Saint] | (there's also a 6.5G Nano :) |
| 17:20:40 | [Saint] | amayer: yeah, sure. |
| 17:20:52 | [Saint] | I wouldn;t buy one, though. |
| 17:21:03 | [Saint] | I wouldn't ever buy a new iPod. |
| 17:21:16 | amayer | what other high volume(see: memory size) targets do we have? |
| 17:21:27 | amayer | i have 100Gb library I like to keep in my pocket |
| 17:21:42 | [Saint] | Buy a battery...much cheaper, and the older 160Gb "fat" Classic has a *MUCH* larger battery. |
| 17:22:04 | [Saint] | 850mAh vs 600mAh in the newer versions. |
| 17:22:20 | [Saint] | I would just buy a new battery, problem solved. |
| 17:22:22 | amayer | dont you have to saulder (sp?) the battery in? |
| 17:22:36 | amayer | (has not looked into this option) |
| 17:23:42 | [Saint] | Even if you wanted a Classic 76..I wouldn;t buy one new. |
| 17:23:53 | [Saint] | And, no. |
| 17:24:05 | [Saint] | 76? ha! 7G, rather. |
| 17:24:38 | [Saint] | And, several retailers are still selling Classic 6G new-in-box. |
| 17:24:45 | [Saint] | You don;t even have to look very hard for them. |
| 17:27:37 | [Saint] | amayer: www.youtube.com/v/q23MgRx_kTY will show you exactly how trivial it is. |
| 17:27:48 | [Saint] | (for both the thin and fat variants) |
| 17:28:16 | amayer | [Saint]: thanks :) it does seem pretty easy. |
| 17:28:21 | [Saint] | {you really want the fat version, though, IMO...all that sweet, sweet battery life!} |
| 17:28:58 | amayer | i have the 120Gb iClassic... not sure if that is fat or skinny |
| 17:29:16 | [Saint] | I get ~40 hours out of mine, and two of them have the original batteries in them. |
| 17:31:30 | [Saint] | wait...its 120GB? |
| 17:31:31 | amayer | so the battery option is a way better way to go |
| 17:31:36 | [Saint] | Then its not a 6G. |
| 17:31:47 | [Saint] | If its 120GB, its a 7G. |
| 17:32:02 | amayer | i thought 7G was only 160? |
| 17:32:11 | [Saint] | ...no, shit no. |
| 17:32:31 | [Saint] | 120/160GB. |
| 17:32:49 | copper | why not buy a new one? |
| 17:32:56 | amayer | *faceplam* really? |
| 17:32:58 | copper | 32 hours of battery life is plenty |
| 17:33:12 | [Saint] | copper: why buy a new one when the battery is the only issue? |
| 17:33:22 | amayer | copper: I just need a new battery |
| 17:33:34 | copper | can you disassemble it without breaking everything? |
| 17:33:37 | [Saint] | rather, why buy a complete device, when the old one can be made to run with ~430 expense vs several hundred? |
| 17:34:00 | [Saint] | *~$30 |
| 17:34:01 | copper | you need special tools I think |
| 17:34:05 | copper | from iFixIt |
| 17:34:06 | [Saint] | Naw... |
| 17:34:19 | [Saint] | They would like you to think so, because they are jerks. |
| 17:34:39 | copper | iPod Classics are notoriously difficult to disassemble |
| 17:34:45 | copper | or is that not true? |
| 17:35:04 | [Saint] | I love the way you stated that as fact, then immediately questioned it. :) |
| 17:35:12 | amayer | haha |
| 17:35:17 | [Saint] | *I* don't think its true... |
| 17:35:57 | copper | "they are notoriously" means "that's the word on the internet" |
| 17:36:04 | [Saint] | The 6G is basically a giant iPod Video, and the 7G is slightly more complicated, but disassembly is documented in many places. |
| 17:36:08 | copper | "The iPod Classic was offered in an 80 GB model for MSRP US$249 and a 160 GB model for MSRP US$349." |
| 17:36:14 | copper | "During the 'Let's Rock' Apple Event on September 9, 2008, the 80 GB and the thicker 160 GB model were discontinued in favor of a thin 120 GB version retailing for US$249." |
| 17:36:27 | copper | "During the event Apple re-introduced the 160 GB version with the same slim profile as the 120 GB version, retailing at US$249. The 120 GB model has now been dropped and the only option available is the 160 GB model." |
| 17:36:31 | amayer | [Saint]: what years where the 7Gs sold? I bought my iClassic new from walmart 7 years ago. |

| 17:40:21 | copper | hmm? |
| 17:40:22 | [Saint] | Its clearly part of the iPod line. |
| 17:40:37 | copper | 6G is what apple calls the iPod Classic |
| 17:40:49 | [Saint] | it shoudl either be "iPod 6G" or "iPod Classic 1G". |

| 17:42:36 | [Saint] | copper ^ |
| 17:43:00 | [Saint] | That's my reasoning, and its perfectly sound IMO. There was nothing to gain except confusion with what they did. |
| 17:43:05 | copper | [Saint]: except the "G" (generation) doesn't mean the same thing with iPods before and after the Classic |
| 17:43:20 | [Saint] | It means even less now. |

| 17:46:11 | saratoga | anyone feel like benchmarking the new compressor improvements on PP? |
| 17:46:21 | saratoga | assuming performance is fine i think that patch can go in |
| 17:46:23 | [Saint] | I don't own the target, so I don;t know, all I do know is that the binary has been oversized for an age. |
| 17:46:44 | amayer | http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_classic_120GB on this page it lists the 120Gb ipod as its own device... so its not grouped with the generation before (im guessing 3 products lower) or the next gen (4 products up) |
| 17:46:46 | [Saint] | saratoga: you mean the "open the compressor"+ attack time? |
| 17:47:08 | saratoga | yeah this |
| 17:47:09 | saratoga | http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/626/ |
| 17:47:22 | saratoga | the patch looks like good work, maybe we ought to give that guy git access as well |
| 17:47:43 | [Saint] | saratoga: I'm actually using it now, but I have too many other patches in my tree to provide an accurate bench. |
| 17:47:51 | saratoga | i'm in favor of anyone willing to jump into the dsp code as a first project :) |
| 17:47:57 | saratoga | on PP? |
| 17:48:15 | [Saint] | It is good work, too, barring some whitespace and a single comment I didn;t like the look of for purely aesthetic reasons. :) |
| 17:48:19 | [Saint] | ANd yes, on PP. |
| 17:48:38 | saratoga | if you have test_codec enabled, you could just play any track with and without DSP effects |
| 17:48:56 | saratoga | i don't really care about other patches or overclocking, just what the difference is with it enabled or disabled |
| 17:49:02 | [Saint] | AH. I forgot about that. |
| 17:49:11 | saratoga | just want to make sure it runs fine |
| 17:49:18 | saratoga | or else we can ifdef it on slower devices |
| 17:49:28 | [Saint] | Awwww...fuck it. my test_codec is an ancient leftover, apparently. |

| 17:49:46 | saratoga | cool |
| 17:49:59 | [Saint] | I wanted to give that guy an "attaboy" for his work too. |
| 17:49:59 | saratoga | i want to make an effort to test things on PP to make sure we keep it running well |

| 17:58:24 | pamaury | and I have a lot of work anyway so I'm not in a hurry |
| 17:58:55 | [Saint] | IS it "normal" for bass to sound "flat" with replaygain active, and if so, how does one combat this without negating the effects of replagain? |
| 17:58:59 | [Saint] | saratoga: ^ |
| 17:59:20 | [Saint] | I have a sense there's something I'm missing that I should be using in conjunction with replaygain. |
| 17:59:28 | claudior | i asked samsung |
| 17:59:32 | saratoga | its probably just quieter |
| 17:59:38 | claudior | to release source of ypq3 player |
| 17:59:50 | claudior | ther response me: not gpl |
| 17:59:52 | claudior | T_T |
| 17:59:54 | lebellium | pamaury: no problem :) I'm afraid the E440 is very close to E360 and would cause the same impendance issues with my UM3x unfortunately :S |
| 17:59:59 | saratoga | usually replaygain ends up 5-10 dB quieter, which will tend to make the bass much less pronounced |
| 18:00 |
| 18:00:02 | lebellium | claudior: I already asked in the past ;) |
| 18:00:13 | [Saint] | saratoga: I added as much pre-amp as the worst case scenarios negative gain, but it still sounds "flat". |
| 18:00:16 | [Saint] | But only the bass. |
| 18:00:31 | saratoga | its just a volume adjustment, so i don't know what would cause that |
| 18:00:32 | claudior | now with lorenzomiori we are work to reverse fw |
| 18:01:05 | saratoga | i'd recommend using analog gain (that is, the actual volume control), usually you get some clipping if you try to run replaygain at 0dB |
| 18:01:11 | saratoga | via preamp |
| 18:01:25 | saratoga | although depending on the music style there is a good chance it wouldn't be noticable |
| 18:01:40 | saratoga | the audibility of such things is controversial on HA |
| 18:01:53 | [Saint] | saratoga: I must admit I haven't ABXed it, but switching back and forth between replaygain and no, it really seems to me like the bass bottoms out. |
| 18:02:27 | saratoga | perception of bass is highly volume dependent, so i tend to think its just that the levels aren't the same |
| 18:02:57 | [Saint] | Perhaps I am imagining it. There's every chance. I just wanted to ask to see if this percieved effect was "normal" or not. |
| 18:03:05 | claudior | lebellium |
| 18:03:46 | [Saint] | It is strange (to me) that when I apply as much pre-amp as there is negative track gain, it doesn't "sound right", or the same to me, as it does with replaygain off. |
| 18:04:41 | saratoga | its possible theres some additional gain thats applied for some reason |
| 18:04:58 | saratoga | i don't think replaygain would do that, but maybe the EQ adds a bit of negative gain silently? |
| 18:05:04 | claudior | where samsung say firmware not gpl |
| 18:05:10 | saratoga | you'd have to ask jhmikes about that or i guess test with test_codec |
| 18:05:15 | [Saint] | I was just curious if this was a known effect, real or not, I guess the next step is seeing whether or not I can reliably ABX replaygain and replaygain+pre amp where pre amp is equivalent to the gain applied. |
| 18:05:49 | saratoga | i think test_codec can write out the actual audio to wav files, so you could check it in an audio editor and see if theres some difference |
| 18:05:56 | saratoga | with and without replaygain |
| 18:06:11 | [Saint] | Ahhh, thanks, I wasn't aware it could do so. |
| 18:06:12 | lebellium | claudior: I asked last year and they replied: "We are publishing product's source code which is covered under GPL, LGPL or MPL. But there's no source code covered under these licenses in the YP-Q3. " |
| 18:06:54 | claudior | so ypq3 is closed source? |
| 18:07:26 | [Saint] | "no source code covered under these licenses" certainly suggests so. |
| 18:07:46 | claudior | ç_ç |
| 18:07:56 | lebellium | That's what I understand here. That may be a lie, but we have no way to verify it, they can claim what they want :) |
| 18:08:23 | claudior | lebellium you saw q3 page on wiki? |
| 18:08:46 | claudior | some information i wrote are taken from ABI |
| 18:08:46 | [Saint] | Show it to pamaury, devices disassemble their own firmware in fear when he's around. |
| 18:08:47 | [Saint] | :P |
| 18:09:12 | lebellium | claudior: Yes. I'm closely working with lorenzo for some years so I'm always aware of what's going on with Samsung + Rockbox :) |
| 18:09:32 | pamaury | YP-Q3 is TCC7901 based iirc ? |
| 18:09:48 | claudior | as you can read on wiki |
| 18:09:57 | [Saint] | pamaury: I believe so, yes. |
| 18:10:08 | [Saint] | So, bricking shouldn;t be a fear, that's a plus. |

| 18:11:32 | claudior | o.o |
| 18:11:47 | claudior | brb wiki and come back |
| 18:11:58 | saratoga | there are a number of new imx devices right? are any besides the Fuze+ relatively usable? |
| 18:12:08 | saratoga | i suppose a Creative player? |
| 18:12:23 | | Quit copper (Quit: ZNC - http://znc.in) |
| 18:12:52 | lebellium | claudior: As an insider I often got confidential documents from Samsung but for this one, it's a leak on a Chinese forum |
| 18:13:10 | pamaury | saratoga: zenxfi3 is very usable (except radio) |
| 18:13:28 | saratoga | can we mark it unstable? |
| 18:13:32 | pamaury | zenxfi2 so so, sony nwz-E360/E370 are on good rail |
| 18:13:39 | pamaury | clearly yes |
| 18:14:13 | pamaury | I'm working on a few Creative players. The code is stable but the biggest issue it installation and dual-boot, which I'm working on it |
| 18:14:39 | saratoga | right now you need to use linux or else download a prepatched firmware? |
| 18:14:59 | claudior | im adding it on wiki, check out if i miss something |
| 18:16:09 | lebellium | claudior: to avoid dead links, you should attach documentation to the wiki page I think |
| 18:16:18 | pamaury | saratoga: in theory we have both windows and linux support to update the firmware, but it's not supported by rbutil |
| 18:16:33 | saratoga | is there a command line tool? |
| 18:16:41 | pamaury | that's a command line too yeah |
| 18:17:09 | pamaury | The main issue is the filesystem: creative uses its own filesystem so at the moment you need to trash creative FS to use rockbox |
| 18:17:16 | claudior | can i attach that image you post? |
| 18:17:30 | pamaury | but I may have found a way to solve this issue |
| 18:18:28 | lebellium | claudior: other people here are more aware of what is allowed or not than I am but if that's allowed, you should attach the RAM datasheets for example |
| 18:18:50 | lebellium | we never know if the download link will be still working in a few months or years |
| 18:19:23 | pamaury | yeah attaching the datasheets is always a better idea |
| 18:19:29 | KotH | pamaury: working is a bit too strong of a word ^^' |
| 18:19:43 | claudior | but i can attach your schematich photo? |
| 18:19:43 | pamaury | thinking about it ;) |
| 18:19:44 | saratoga | fwiw i don't care if we kill the creative firmware :) |

| 18:20:57 | saratoga | oh did someone still need tcc datasheets btw? |
| 18:20:58 | claudior | can you link me the source? |
| 18:21:32 | pamaury | saratoga: I personally agree but I still think it's better to be able to dualboot, and as a matter of fact the OF won't boot with a trashed partition (although the recovery mode will of course) |

| 18:45:21 | claudior | pamaury i have q3 |
| 18:46:39 | claudior | lorenzo92 you keep work on fw in those day i was away? |

| 18:48:06 | | Quit Raptors_ (Quit: Leaving) |
| 18:48:16 | lorenzo92 | not really, the format is really easy to understand but what I don't understand is their logic (i'm talking about the .BIN format, that is, a container for bot .ROM and .RSC) |
| 18:48:34 | lorenzo92 | said that, we need to understand .ROM, .RSC isn't our important stuff |
| 18:48:58 | pamaury | we have the format for .ROM, that's the telechips format |
| 18:49:01 | lorenzo92 | again, .ROM file is a standard TCC firmware, so the only thing we can start is disassembling it |
| 18:49:31 | lorenzo92 | pamaury: exactly, but I fed it to IDA and I was already able to look at the code: did I do the right thing? |
| 18:50:28 | pamaury | I think so |
| 18:51:07 | lorenzo92 | i think so too, because I could follow some registers :) |

| 18:52:16 | claudior | http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SamsungQ3 |
| 18:52:18 | lorenzo92 | pamaury: I'm wondering how to cleanly start a thread in system_init (kernel_init happens after) |
| 18:52:42 | lorenzo92 | I've my logic in system because it's the right place on hosted platform, I guess |
| 18:53:36 | lorenzo92 | (I've spent an hour to realize this :D ) |
| 18:53:46 | lorenzo92 | because it throws segmentation fault |
| 18:54:11 | pamaury | you cannot do this in system_init I think, why do you need a thread for ? |
| 18:54:18 | pamaury | *what |
| 18:54:32 | lorenzo92 | inotify |
| 18:55:29 | lorenzo92 | I wrote a simple subsystem, to be able to detect in an optimized way the insertion/removal of the sd card on ypr0 |
| 18:56:07 | pamaury | can't you start it on storage init ? |
| 18:56:39 | pamaury | ah maybe not, I don't know how hosted targets work |
| 18:56:52 | pamaury | maybe you should see this with kugel |
| 18:57:14 | lorenzo92 | well main.c does call storage_init, but i guess is a void somewhere...let me give a look |
| 18:58:35 | pamaury | my guess is that you should start it in some init function which is called after kernel_init(), there must be some which are target specific |
| 18:59:01 | pamaury | like power_init() ? |

| 19:32:03 | lebellium | I may be wrong if you are sure it has been uploaded in 2010. But if you are not sure about that, then the probability that it's a reupload from mine is high. it's exactly the same file with the same filename as mine but I renamed it.

| 20:25:26 | [Saint] | pamaury: but, you have to make sure that your PWM is free range, too. |
| 20:25:37 | [Saint] | The PWMs kept in cages produce sad light. |
| 20:26:07 | patto | there is config.cfg file |
| 20:26:15 | [Saint] | patto: remove config.cfg |
| 20:26:44 | [Saint] | you can also edit it and remove the (rather obvious) theme ralated settings, as well. |
| 20:26:51 | bertrik | lorenzo92: yes, pointer to static functions should work fine |
| 20:27:25 | pamaury | definitely, that's why PWM stands for Pulsed Wild Monster |
| 20:27:39 | [Saint] | pamaury: Hahaha. :) |
| 20:27:39 | patto | you mean: |
| 20:27:44 | patto | fms: /.rockbox/wps/ti83.fms font: /.rockbox/fonts/08-ti83.fnt wps: /.rockbox/wps/ti83.wps sbs: /.rockbox/wps/ti83.sbs backdrop: /.rockbox/wps/wp7style/bg.bmp |
| 20:27:47 | patto | ? |
| 20:27:56 | [Saint] | I do indeed. |
| 20:28:22 | | Quit Kohlrabi (Remote host closed the connection) |
| 20:29:15 | [Saint] | Hahahaha. My iLike theme must be pretty convincing. |

| 20:29:38 | [Saint] | Ms [Saint] just SMS me from work saying that her co-workers only just now noticed that the iPod was "different". |
| 20:29:39 | patto | Saint: it worked! :) Thank you! |
| 20:29:42 | [Saint] | After 4 months. |
| 20:29:49 | [Saint] | patto: No problem. |
| 20:31:17 | lorenzo92 | hum I'm having an issue with threading on hosted: is it normal that a blocking read() blocks all the other threads? is the scheduler okay? |
| 20:31:21 | [Saint] | I needed to make a fixed.cfg file with pretty much every setting located therein as people other than Ms [Saint] had been poking at things they didn't understand. |
| 20:31:28 | | Quit patto (Quit: CGI:IRC) |
| 20:32:08 | [Saint] | I had previously forgotten about fixed.cfg, it is so handy. |
| 20:32:46 | [Saint] | I used to use it primarily to set a sane listening volume so I didn;t accidentally blow my ears off if I had been listening via the car stereo at 0dB or so. |
| 20:33:12 | [Saint] | Now I'm using it to apply pretty much every setting at boot time. |
| 20:38:25 | lorenzo92 | pamaury: do you know anything about threads and blocking calls? |
| 20:39:05 | pamaury | in rockbox you mean ? |
| 20:39:10 | pamaury | not so much |
| 20:41:15 | | Quit lorenzo92_ (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) |
| 20:43:56 | lorenzo92 | pamaury: yep, because a blocking call should not block other threads humhum |
| 20:47:55 | lorenzo92 | perhaps because I'm using a system call actually (read a file) ? |
| 20:51:08 | | Quit rela (Read error: Connection reset by peer) |
| 20:52:59 | pamaury | lorenzo92: native or hosted ? |
| 20:53:16 | lorenzo92 | pamaury: hosted, so i assume it is a yes... |
| 20:54:29 | pamaury | i don't know how hosted is implemented, might be, ask kugel, i think he was the last one to touch it |
| 20:56:23 | [Saint] | s/last/pretty much the only/ :) |
