00:13:51TheSevenit would be better to compare with a PP-based ipod or something, which runs very similar firmware
00:14:05TheSevenotherwise you'll have way too many differences to chase that turn out to be completely irrelevant
00:14:07franklin(Which I don't have :)
00:14:16TheSevenask someone to do a dump then?

03:34:08JdGordonfranklin: you need to read up more... HID is a usb spec which has nothing to do with which device you're talking to
03:36:53franklinJdGordon, but it works on PP iPods, but not on Classic

10:47:03pamaurywho still has a Gigabeat-S ?
10:47:28[Saint]...fuckin' no one.
10:47:39[Saint]jhMikeS, apparently.
10:47:51*gevaerts has one somewhere
10:50:30pamauryI got my hands on a Zune 30GB (first generation), and it appears to be *very* similar to the GigabeatS
10:51:16pamauryhowever the tools for firmware patching the beast are a bit of a mess
10:51:20*gevaerts nods
10:51:44gevaertsSome people see the beast as a prototype for the zune
10:51:45pamauryalso, it uses the same update mechanism based on MTP as the ZEN *
10:52:21pamaurysince my plan is still to make RBUtil work with MTP, I might also have a go at the beast and also the zune at the same time
10:54:49pamaurygevaerts: if you don't use yours, would you mind lending it to me when I begin working on the MTP installer ?
10:54:49[Saint]Isn't the Beast a cock to recover?
10:55:04[Saint]By way of it committing suicide if you look at it wrong.
10:55:22gevaertspamaury: Sure. I'll try to dig it up tonight, and then we'll figure out how to get it to you
10:55:23[Saint]Or is that no longer the case?
10:55:36pamauryit has a pretty complicated boot procedure, but as long as you don't touch the bootloader it can recovery itself
10:55:47gevaerts[Saint]: it's easy to recover, because you get a lot of practice :)
10:55:55[Saint]:))
10:56:41pamaurythe only point which of uttermost importance is to never, ever flash a nk.bin file with too small size, in which case you would overwrite the bootloader and possibly (surely ?) brick it.

12:46:00 Nick SuperBrainAK is now known as DormantBrain (~andy@74.112.200.73)
12:51:10pamauryyeah the bootloader uses the size of the image to determine if it should put it on the harddrive or the flash, small images go to flash and overwrite recovery
12:51:21pamaurydoes that look broken by design ? ;)
12:53:38[Saint]Ahhh...so, what, does the rb bootloader just add N padding?
12:54:40[Saint]Hmmm. Guess its not quite so trivial.
12:55:04[Saint]I would look, but, I tried yo do some work earlier and my brain gave up.
12:55:23[Saint]Stupid flu.
12:55:47pamauryyou don't even need to because what matters is the "virtual" image size, which has nothing to do with the actual size
12:56:00pamauryyeah WinCE binary formats are just completely crazy

14:29:01Riiiisbut when i connect the player and windows has installed various drivers, the rockbox installer can't find the device
14:29:20RiiiisI've tried on 3 different windows boxes now, same result. What could i do wrong?
14:30:28pamauryRiiiis: make sure the clip+ is in MSC mode and not MTP
14:30:37Riiiishow do i set that?

22:39:57franklin2048 is much, much better :)
22:40:13franklinboomshine is just too, well... lua-ish

22:46:01franklinTheSeven, how do I set the piezo in the S5L to "on" and "off"?
22:46:20franklin(or can I?)
22:46:27TheSevenhuh?
22:46:59franklinThe way it is in the piezo driver is that it sets a timer that does it
22:47:09franklin(setting the current to the piezo on/off)
22:47:28 Quit ZrZ (Quit: ZNC - http://znc.in)
22:47:35TheSevenyou mean manually controlling the piezo's GPIO pin or what?
22:47:41franklinYes
22:47:45franklinExactly that :)
22:48:13TheSeventhis isn't actually a piezo btw, but a little speaker
22:48:25TheSevennot sure if it would survive getting a DC high signal
22:48:45franklinWell, my goal is to play PCM audio
22:48:45TheSevenand I also don't know which GPIO pin it is, but I think that can be figured out with some tricks
22:48:55franklini.e., without headphones
22:49:11TheSevenusing a timer seems much more adequate for that than bitbanging the gpio
22:49:24TheSevenyou'll need a very high speed pwm
22:49:33franklinHow could I dump PCM data to it?
22:50:23TheSevenfor each PCM sample, adjust the PWM width accordingly
22:50:26franklinThere's a related patent here: https://encrypted.google.com/patents/US5054086
22:50:35franklin(expired, thankfully)
22:50:40TheSevenI doubt that the result would really be useful though
22:51:16franklinSo, how do I do it?
22:51:53TheSevencheck what the GPIOs are doing, which ones are changing and which ones are constant
22:52:09TheSeventhen start the piezo timer and check which one of the ones that was previously constant is now wiggling
22:52:14 Quit amayer (Quit: Leaving)
22:52:30TheSevenif there are multiple candidates, repeat until you only have one overlapping one
22:52:48TheSevenor if you want to do the timer PWM, set the prescaler to minimum
22:53:12TheSevenset the wraparound limit to 256 or so
22:53:39TheSeventhen, sample by sample, set the PWM on time (duty cycle) to the high byte of the audio sample
22:53:54franklinFrom the piezo timer?
22:54:01franklin*timer callback
22:54:05TheSevencould be possible to use a DMA channel to automate that somehow, but that would probably need a more in-depth understanding of the SoC
22:54:31TheSevenno, you don't need IRQs on that one at all. in fact those would be killing you.
22:56:18franklinOr could I do it from the PCM callback?
22:56:55TheSevenyou'll either have to use an e.g. 22kHz timer IRQ to drive that, or do it in a realtime thread
22:57:07TheSevenin any case you'll have audio dropouts as other tasks compete for the CPU
22:57:28franklinAnd how do I get the PCM data?
22:57:50TheSevenno idea
23:00
23:00:06franklinIf I want to do it in a realtime thread, how would I get it started when the audio starts?

23:14:05[Saint]Hmmmmm.
23:14:34[Saint]I have no idea where I should put a setting to clear ouyt the database.
23:14:38[Saint]*out
23:14:49franklinSo you want suggestions?
23:15:12[Saint]Not particularly. Just thinking out loud.
23:15:18franklinSettings->General->Database->Clear Database - duh!
23:15:48franklin;)
23:16:17[Saint]Nah. I'll drop it in the Database context menu. Itsa got no business being in settings as its not a setting.
23:16:51franklinBut there are many non-settings items in the settings menu: "Initialize now", "Update Now"
23:17:00franklin(especially under database)
23:17:15[Saint]On an entirely unrelated note, you spelled Für Elise wrong.
23:17:26franklinFuer Elise
23:17:30franklin:P
23:17:38[Saint]And, sure, but just because someone else put some settings in querstionable places doesn't mean I have to.
23:17:56[Saint]Even Fur Elise
23:18:01[Saint]is acceptable.
23:18:03franklinhaha
23:18:08[Saint]Never seen it spelled with an e though.
23:18:34gevaertsue is a perfectly correct way to spell German ü
23:18:44[Saint]The latter is just for those that can't be bothered/don't know how to type an umlaut. ;)
23:18:44franklin" commonly known as "Für Elise" or "Fuer Elise""
23:18:51gevaertsThere's no good reason not to spell it ü though :)
23:18:55gevaertsfranklin: no!
23:19:01gevaertsThose are *exactly* the same!
23:19:10franklinHave you even listened to it?

23:23:01franklingevaerts, [Saint], quit picking on people that don't have the weird keyboard you guys have :P
23:23:09[Saint]Some of the notes sound quite wrong. The pitch is fine, but the amplitude sounds off. There are many parts of Für Elise that are _extremely_ delicate, and others that are very, very forceful.
23:23:12gevaertsfranklin: I'm using a US layout
23:23:44franklin[Saint], it's from an internal speaker!
23:23:45dfktüßa!
23:23:52dfkt*üßä
23:24:00gevaerts:)
23:24:58franklin[Saint], does it sound different on different iPod models?
23:25:11[Saint]Yes. Immensely so.
23:25:24[Saint]The pitch varies wildly.
23:25:27franklinBTW, have you listened to the SMB theme?
23:26:05[Saint]No.
23:26:13franklinYou should :)
23:26:31[Saint]I'm sure I'll live.
23:26:59franklinNo you'll die of boredom if you don't
23:27:51franklinSo, which iPod models play high/low compared with the classic? I'd like to add some pitch correction
23:28:16[Saint]You couldn't possibly do so.
23:28:29[Saint]The piezoi varies wildly even between iPods of the _same_ model.
23:28:34franklinJust like multiplying the frequencies by a certain constant
23:28:38franklinOh what...
23:28:43franklinAh
23:28:43[Saint]Yep.
23:28:53*franklin blames Apple
23:29:08*franklin blames Foxconn
23:29:17*franklin forgives Apple
23:29:25*gevaerts doesn't see the point of making devices that have a decent audio chip produce bad audio
23:29:34franklinhaha
23:29:52franklinAs [Saint] never says, "for grins" :D
23:30:07gevaertsYou can also make your ipod make a noise by dropping it on various types of floor from various heights
23:30:52franklinVery interesting idea
23:31:43*franklin wonders if there is any way to control the volume of the piezo
23:37:25dfktfranklin, if you ever run out of useful things to add to rockbox, i have a list... ;)
23:37:35franklinhaha go ahead :)
23:37:59franklinI like how you say "useful"
23:38:15franklinAs if playing music through a piezo isn't useful :(
23:38:45dfktthat sentence above implemented that what you do *is* useful
23:39:00franklinwell, sure :)
23:39:07franklinWhat I do... 2048?
23:40:22franklinok, yeah, what is the list?
23:41:08dfktwell, for example, there's this thing that could be awesome to have - http://www5.zippyshare.com/v/24671817/file.html
23:41:31dfktit's a BBE-like audio enhancement, the people were good enough to give their schematics away for free
23:41:50dfkt(they're out of business now ;)
23:43:31dfktanother thing that comes to mind, a setting "return to wps", automatically from any screen, after a given time
23:44:03franklinLike you push a button and it goes back?
23:44:11dfktthere was a patch for something like that on the old svn system, but only for the quickscreen
23:44:26franklinI don't understand
23:44:44franklinSo you want it so that when the user holds down a button for a certain amount of time it goes to WPS?
23:44:58dfktnah, without pressing a button - automatically. you set a time in seconds and when you don't interact with any buttons, you get returned to the wps
23:45:01[Saint]I believe he means an idle timeout
23:45:05dfktyes
23:45:29[Saint]could piggyback off the existing idle timeout setting.
23:45:29franklinAh
23:46:00franklinI have no idea how to do this efficiently (i.e., without polling with a thread)
23:46:01dfktsomeone created it for the quickscreen only - http://pastie.org/9492860

23:46:58franklinwell, no idea :)
23:47:48[Saint]It almost certainly didn't get in because its rather silly.
23:47:57[Saint]Just press Play tweice, from anywhere.
23:47:58franklinI mean, for one screen it's easy, but for every screen...
23:48:05franklinExactly
23:48:28[Saint]One press jumps back to main, second press jumps to the WPS.
23:48:59franklinMaybe he means from plugins?
23:49:21[Saint]And if you're not in a position to be able to do that, that probably also means you're also not in any position to actually be able to appreciate the WPS.
23:51:31dfkt<[Saint]> It almost certainly didn't get in because its rather silly. <−− yes, and saratoga commented back then that it would be useful when made global, not just quickscreen specific
23:51:57[Saint]I'm not even convinced it would be useful globally.
23:52:07[Saint]Just because its saving two button presses.
23:52:09dfkti would very much like it
23:52:51dfktdicking around at the supermarket checkout cause i'm in god-knows-what menu while the lady talks to me is annoying :)
23:52:56[Saint]If it was actually difficult to enter the WPS, I might agree. But unless you're in a plugin, you're saving two keypresses.
23:53:01dfktusually i then yank out the cable
23:53:10[Saint]No matter where you are in the menu. Two keypresses will get you back to WPS.
23:53:40dfktyeah, that's two too much, sometimes
23:53:49[Saint]o_o
23:54:28franklinActually, it is for me: my play button needs a *ton* of pressure to work
23:54:48franklinmaybe that's it? your play button is broken? :)
23:55:03dfktseeing the wps as the default state of the interface makes sense to me, an optional idle timeout would probably not hurt anyone - especially since the sleep timer is already in place
23:55:37franklinI am opposed to this idea... just too annoying to go back to where you were
23:56:21dfkthence the magic word "optional"
23:56:45dfktlike "party mode" and "stereo setup", and all that other stuff 95% of people never use
23:56:46dfkt;)
23:57:11franklinhmm... who wants to program this?
