| 00:01:17 | saratoga_ | that should trigger the bootloader USB mode if its still intact |

| 00:06:04 | [Saint] | Indeed. But that depends largely on the bootloader version. |
| 00:06:21 | [Saint] | IIUC, the zip port slightly pre-dates bootloader USB. |
| 00:06:56 | [Saint] | If bootloader USB isn't intact, accessible, or available...there's not many options available. |
| 00:07:20 | [Saint] | besides the slight offchance of it tripping up on a badly corrupted sdcard. |

| 00:13:46 | fs-bluebot | Gerrit review #887 at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/887 : Enhancement of the metronome plugin: by Thomas Orgis |
| 00:13:58 | [Franklin] | sobukus: commit time? |
| 00:14:08 | sobukus | I don't know who has to decide this;-) |
| 00:14:23 | [Franklin] | everyone :P |
| 00:14:31 | [Franklin] | the devs with commit access, actually |
| 00:14:54 | sobukus | Well, there are 3 people listet as reviewers in Gerrit. One of them gave thumbs up. |
| 00:15:06 | [Franklin] | I'll take a look and make that two |
| 00:15:11 | sobukus | Thanks. |
| 00:15:31 | [Saint] | for the record, anyone can review. |
| 00:15:49 | [Saint] | it doesn't necessarily imply they're able to commit. |
| 00:15:53 | [Franklin] | yes, but only committers can commit |
| 00:16:04 | * | [Saint] puts his shocked face on |
| 00:16:05 | sobukus | Of course code can always be nicer, but I already did reindendation of stuff for more consistency, so it seems the point of functionality has passed;-) |
| 00:16:14 | [Franklin] | :O |
| 00:16:50 | [Franklin] | one last tiny thing: the whitespace of the imported code |
| 00:16:51 | [Saint] | (ㆆ⌓ㆆ) |
| 00:17:06 | [Franklin] | around line 730 |
| 00:17:13 | [Saint] | sobukus: what editor are you using? |
| 00:17:31 | [Saint] | Most editors (worth using) can warn about formatting and whitespace errors. |
| 00:17:46 | [Saint] | git can actually be configured to warn about whitespace too. |
| 00:17:49 | [Franklin] | heh notepad doesn't count |
| 00:18:00 | [Saint] | No sir. It does not. |
| 00:18:01 | sobukus | Hm, I remember removing trailing whitespace. |
| 00:18:19 | [Franklin] | not in the imported code, it seems |
| 00:18:21 | sobukus | I didn't try to reformat the imported code much, so it doesn't look like I actually changed it. |
| 00:18:41 | sobukus | Well, of course not all of it ... |
| 00:18:41 | [Franklin] | the source of the imported code is MIT licensed, it seems |
| 00:19:04 | sobukus | It's even imorted code from another plugin that imported it from elsewhere (p.ex. glibc) |
| 00:19:12 | [Franklin] | oh no... BSD |
| 00:19:23 | [Franklin] | but still it's GPL-compat |
| 00:19:41 | sobukus | Oh, wait. That was an earlier version. I removed the glibc stuff when switching to fixedpoint math. |
| 00:20:22 | [Saint] | that tick_sound[] mess is...well, eeew. |
| 00:20:41 | [Franklin] | yeah |
| 00:20:41 | [Saint] | I realize there's not really a cleaner option, but, god that wall looks disgusting. |
| 00:20:49 | sobukus | [Franklin]: Should I make those trivial fixups (my editor shows the whitespace clearly, I just have to look;-) and push again? Because, that removes the review marks again. |
| 00:20:58 | [Franklin] | it's fine ;) |
| 00:21:03 | | Quit SpeakerToMeat (Quit: WeeChat 1.0) |
| 00:21:25 | [Saint] | well, if you can fix it up easily, and have time to do so, do so. |
| 00:21:27 | sobukus | The sounds, yes, I had them as separate files, but inlined because "no code in header files" |
| 00:22:16 | sobukus | I wasn't able to convince the build system to build separate objects with the sounds and link them into the plugin. |
| 00:22:20 | [Saint] | there's also whitespace scattered around in quite a few places in metronome.c |
| 00:22:48 | sobukus | OK, now. Example please. Perhaps we need to define "scattered". |
| 00:23:13 | [Saint] | around // Process an exponent string |
| 00:23:21 | [Saint] | ~700LOC mark |
| 00:23:27 | sobukus | That's the imported code we already talked about. |
| 00:23:37 | [Saint] | aha, right, sorry. |
| 00:24:01 | sobukus | From pdbox ... I remmeber cleaning it up but when removing the floating point logarithm stuff, that seems to have been lost. |
| 00:24:18 | [Saint] | and a little bit in metronome.tex |
| 00:24:30 | [Saint] | at 91 |
| 00:25:02 | [Saint] | sorry, it sticks out like a sore thumb in my editor. |
| 00:25:23 | sobukus | It's more mildly backlighted in mine. |
| 00:25:38 | sobukus | So, I removed all /\s+$/ now. |
| 00:26:02 | sobukus | Anything else that I should do before pushing again? |
| 00:26:23 | * | sobukus removes trailing \n at the end |
| 00:26:32 | saratoga_ | test that it builds on different devices |
| 00:26:43 | saratoga_ | grayscale, monochrome, color, etc |
| 00:26:59 | sobukus | You mean simulator or just testing real build? |
| 00:27:21 | sobukus | An official list of non-broken targets would be nice, as p.ex. I was unable to build the HWCODEC stuff. |
| 00:27:30 | saratoga_ | real build |
| 00:27:45 | [Franklin] | sobukus: how about making the PCM values hex so they're constantly spaced? |
| 00:27:50 | saratoga_ | list of builds that work: http://build.rockbox.org/dev.cgi |
| 00:29:35 | saratoga_ | i would try building the actual binary so that if it doesn't build you don't have to fix it later |
| 00:29:42 | sobukus | Ah, I hope testing build for each family is enough. |
| 00:30:22 | sobukus | Well, of course I can automate ... just it won't be done moment. |
| 00:30:40 | sobukus | [Franklin]: Well, that would increase the size of the file ... |
| 00:31:50 | sobukus | You really don't want to look too closely at those lumps of data in any case … but if you really would like it better, sure. |
| 00:32:12 | sobukus | The long-term solution would be to generate the PCM on startup, as it's rather trivial. |
| 00:32:36 | saratoga_ | most likely builds will fail because something like monochrome support isn't handled right or something like that |
| 00:32:45 | saratoga_ | so pick one monochrome device to test |
| 00:32:53 | [Franklin] | there's no lcd_ calls that should fail, saratoga_ |
| 00:32:56 | [Franklin] | it seems |
| 00:33:18 | sobukus | I ran some monochrome device in the simulator. |
| 00:33:29 | [Franklin] | but test to make sure |
| 00:35:17 | [Franklin] | sobukus: do you use emacs? |
| 00:35:48 | sobukus | There is no HWCODEC device besides the Archos group, right? So … I don't see these building at all, even without the metronome:-/ |
| 00:36:06 | saratoga_ | the player builds |
| 00:36:14 | sobukus | [Franklin]: Nope, in theory I'd like to use luced, in practice the ancient nedit still works for me. |
| 00:36:39 | [Franklin] | emacs is more ancient ;) |

| 00:39:41 | sobukus | I would like to have the build non-interactive. If I am to test several builds, I don't want to babysit configure scripts |

| 00:44:27 | [Franklin] | I don't think it does |
| 00:44:48 | sobukus | So it cannot do display->fillrect(), I presume. |
| 00:45:51 | sobukus | Well, this is dealt with in the code, it's just that the variable determining which rectangle to fill is not used in the build. |
| 00:47:42 | * | sobukus building simulator of Player |
| 00:48:52 | sobukus | Ah, right. I get "incompatible model" when loading the plugin. |
| 00:49:17 | gevaerts | Are you cleaning up properly between builds? |
| 00:50:23 | sobukus | Ah, right. The metronome plugin got build in the real build, but it's not built for the simulator. |

| 00:52:46 | [Franklin] | or make install |
| 00:52:52 | sobukus | And that's why the metronome is ruled out in the simulator build. |
| 00:53:14 | [Franklin] | #if CONFIG_CODEC == SWCODEC || !defined(SIMULATOR) /* Not for hwcodec sims */ |
| 00:54:07 | sobukus | So, do I need to disable the actual playback code in the plugin to be able to build it for the simulator? |
| 00:54:38 | [Franklin] | and enable it in SOURCES, it would seem |
| 00:54:43 | sobukus | I might work out what to display. The Player 2-line display is the most limited, right? |
| 00:55:57 | saratoga_ | if its already disabled on those targets I would leave it like that |
| 00:56:26 | gevaerts | saratoga_: it's only disabled in the sim |
| 00:56:37 | gevaerts | Due to the sim not emulating the sound chip |
| 00:58:35 | gevaerts | sobukus: you could disable the actual audio playing and building the plugin that way |
| 00:58:57 | [Saint] | indeed. |
| 00:59:03 | [Saint] | simulator != emulator |
| 00:59:20 | [Saint] | its largely useless for testing hardware specific quirks |
| 00:59:49 | [Saint] | its mostly somewhat of a glorified UI tester. |
| 01:00 |
| 01:00:21 | [Franklin] | Ivoah: did you ever get xracer up and running? |
| 01:01:00 | [Saint] | which reminds me that I thought the other day that it would be really nice to have some form of 'monkeyrunner' for the sims. |
| 01:01:11 | [Franklin] | yes!!! |
| 01:01:43 | [Saint] | something that throws a bunch of simulated user events at the UI and reports if we fall over. |
| 01:02:03 | [Saint] | this should not be difficult to do. |
| 01:02:30 | gevaerts | rasher did something like that a while ago I think |
| 01:02:38 | [Saint] | Ooooohhh. |
| 01:03:56 | sobukus | Is there a preference for if defined(bla) vs. ifdef bla? |
| 01:04:13 | [Franklin] | if there's only one, use #ifdef |
| 01:04:18 | [Franklin] | otherwise I guess use #if |
| 01:04:26 | [Franklin] | (just my personal opinion) |
| 01:07:39 | sobukus | Ah, OK, ran the plugin in the sim now. |
| 01:07:42 | sobukus | A 2-line UI. |
| 01:09:10 | sobukus | I'm printf-ing "tick" and "tock" in the simulator as sound replacement. I hope that's OK. |
| 01:09:36 | gevaerts | Should be OK for testing |
| 01:10:02 | [Franklin] | LOGF is a better option I would think |
| 01:10:09 | [Franklin] | but printf works, yes |
| 01:10:13 | | Quit krabador (Quit: Take the time.) |
| 01:11:59 | sobukus | I don't see one example of LOGF usage in other plugins. |
| 01:12:13 | sobukus | Just LOGF("printfstring", args)? |
| 01:12:29 | [Franklin] | yep ;) |
| 01:12:46 | [Franklin] | but you need to configure with logf enabled |
| 01:12:59 | sobukus | meh |
| 01:13:01 | gevaerts | I'm not sure we want to suddenly enable metronome on hwcodec sims. I just suggested this so *you* can test |
| 01:13:12 | sobukus | Well, what can go wrong? |
| 01:13:17 | gevaerts | I'm not *against* it, but it is a bit useless :) |
| 01:13:25 | sobukus | I disabled the actual audio and am testing the UI. |
| 01:13:34 | sobukus | Mind, I added visual indication of ticks. |
| 01:13:34 | gevaerts | Although of course having it helps with screenshots for the manual |
| 01:13:40 | sobukus | Suddenly it makes sense;-) |

| 01:35:05 | sobukus | But in the Player sim, it _only_ works when taking place in the callback. |
| 01:35:37 | sobukus | Furthermore, the state variable used to communicate the information to draw is not synchronized between callback and main thread. |
| 01:36:58 | sobukus | Is that a bug or accurate simulation? Should I commit the code that works for me in the simulator rather than what "should" work from conventional wisdom? |
| 01:37:41 | sobukus | It simplyfies the code, even. |

| 01:43:13 | [Franklin] | probably it is :P |
| 01:43:30 | sobukus | It does that sometimes on some button action. |
| 01:43:39 | [Franklin] | in the plugin? |
| 01:43:59 | sobukus | Yeah. |
| 01:44:13 | [Franklin] | then it's probably a bug in the plugin |
| 01:44:19 | [Franklin] | run gdb on it and see where |
| 01:44:47 | | Quit krabador (Quit: Take the time.) |
| 01:45:07 | sobukus | The starter is this: There is an integer variable that's intialized to 0 in the declaration. Even before it's touched by other code, its printed value is 8265093. |
| 01:45:17 | sobukus | the value reappears |

| 01:59:11 | sobukus | [Franklin]: can you think of another target that has no bitmap lcd? perhaps one with 3 lines? |
| 02:00 |
| 02:01:03 | [Franklin] | I think the archos are the only non-bitmap ones |
| 02:04:06 | sobukus | OK, so I don't waste thought on 4-line text displays. |
| 02:08:22 | * | sobukus facepalms |
| 02:08:42 | sobukus | the weird value was printf("%i\n"); |
| 02:11:50 | sobukus | I have the suspicion that the main loop waits for button presses in a blocking manner. |
| 02:12:09 | sobukus | So I _have_ to update the display in the timer callback. |
| 02:13:22 | sobukus | button = pluginlib_getaction( TIMEOUT_BLOCK, <−−- I guess that is rather explicit. |
| 02:14:01 | sobukus | That's still from the original metronome code. I hereby assume that it was right in what it did and move all the action into the callback. |

| 02:18:48 | sobukus | xcb_io.c:140: dequeue_pending_request: Assertion `req == dpy->xcb->pending_requests' failed. <−− Should a plugin be able to trigger that? I'd more suspect a wonky X11/xcb build. |

| 02:33:47 | sobukus | [Franklin]: But it seems to be the case that me drawing from the timer callback randomly crashes the simulator, probably becaue two threads are accessing the same objects. |

| 10:50:15 | wodz | pamaury: ping |
| 10:50:19 | pamaury | wodz: pong |
| 10:53:06 | wodz | pamaury: I need an advice. I spent whole weekend trying to make e150 'bootloader' working. The thing is that when I setup tick interrupt (timer T0) I catch TRAP exception and the interrupt count is 2. According to what processor signals the trapping instruction is jump in while(1); at the very end on main(). It looks like it catches exception while servicing interrupt. |
| 10:54:08 | wodz | I did many tests and I am confident that exception reporting code is correct. I injected artificial teq instruction which causes TRAP and the offending instruction address is reported correctly. |
| 10:54:43 | wodz | Hence I have no idea what is going on and why j/b instruction is considered trap for cpu. |
| 10:55:04 | wodz | Any hints what I may check to narrow down the offender? |
| 10:55:53 | pamaury | what is trap exception ? |
| 10:57:20 | wodz | TRAP is caused by a family of instructions, the most widely used is teq rt, rs, imm which causes trap exception when rt == rs (and imm is used by software trap handler to distinguish different trap types) |
| 10:57:48 | wodz | so it is sort of syscall of break but conditional |
| 10:58:20 | wodz | *or |
| 10:59:01 | wodz | teq is used to cach div-by-zero with constructs like teq rt, zero, 7 |
| 11:00 |
| 11:00:30 | pamaury | so a TRAP exception is raised but you don't know where ? |
| 11:01:31 | wodz | Well I know where. EPC contains address of offending instruction BUT the instruction at this address is simple jump at the very end of main() |
| 11:02:46 | pamaury | which is weird because it should not reach this point |
| 11:03:04 | | Join JdGordon [0] (~jonno@rockbox/developer/JdGordon) |
| 11:03:36 | pamaury | or should it ? I guess your bootloader is not advanced enough to reach that part of the main ? |
| 11:04:26 | pamaury | maybe the trap is to signal that the instruction is wrongly encoded ? or the address is not aligned ? |
| 11:04:32 | | Quit JdGordon_ (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) |
| 11:04:49 | wodz | there is one explanation - I get irq so EPC is set to return address of irq and then TRAP is catched (for whatever reason) and EPC is not updated. But this is contrary to what documentation states about exception processing sequence |
| 11:05:03 | wodz | pamaury: no, this are separate exceptions |
| 11:09:08 | pamaury | hum I don't know, and without the TIMER what happen ? |
| 11:10:44 | wodz | hmm, reading this: http://people.ece.cornell.edu/land/courses/ece4760/PIC32/Microchip_stuff/MIPS-M4K-Core.pdf diagram on page 80 it looks like EPC is not updated when exception catched inside other exception |
| 11:11:38 | wodz | sooo, how the f* I am supposed to track down the offender then |
| 11:11:53 | pamaury | so the trap could be inside the IRQ but you just can't know where, sounds great and useful ^^ |
| 11:12:22 | pamaury | is there another register which could contain the address ? |
| 11:15:08 | wodz | there is $ra which holds function return address BUT I checked this and it points to irq dispatch handler which would mean the TRAP is actually somewhere in irq handling function. I checked disasm and can't see anything suspicious. |
| 11:15:56 | wodz | I also tried to manually call irq handling function in main loop with interrupts disabled and this does not trigger TRAP |
| 11:16:10 | wodz | so I am lost |
| 11:18:48 | pamaury | if there is a register you are 100% sure it is unused, you can put assembly code regularly in the IRQ to set special values in this register. On the TRAP, print the register values. You can bisect the offending point this way |
| 11:19:04 | pamaury | or just use a global variable |

| 11:22:31 | wodz | It is something I already tried but in someway random fashion. I need to design the test more precisely |
| 11:22:47 | wodz | I bet at the end this will be something dead simple stupid |
| 11:23:53 | pamaury | yeah quite probably but when there is no other way... |
