#rockbox log for 2017-01-11

00:05:27chrisjjSo assuming the current fail really is a power-off, does that mean the trigger must be a freeze that prevents your timer IRQ from pacifying the watchdog? Nothing else, to your knowledge?
00:06:55pamauryNo that I can think about but how knows. What kills me is that 45697a0bf should be the same as 8e82839f_lcdfix. If you can observe a difference, this is very puzzling to say the least
00:11:45pamaurythe only thing that I can think about would be different configure options, but I think I built both as (N)ormal builds, no debug options
00:15:45chrisjjPuzzling, agreed. I'll repeat the tests with sterilised test tubes :-)
00:18:18chrisjjThat you built the two with same Normal/Build looks true from the fact the binary sizes are identical.
00:18:36chrisjjThe larger version number is presumably absorbed by word alignment.
00:20:20chrisjjI know you don't have binary stability, but any guess as to the binary difference we see?
00:23:11 Quit Ruhan (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
00:24:31chrisjjAll of the first few single-byte differences are differences of one e.g. EB -> EA http://i.imgur.com/ToMzPBJ.png . Addresses of shifted data?
00:25:49BilgusIt is hard to say in a compiled binary Disasm then compare

00:27:10 Quit ender` (Quit: All great truths begin as blasphemies. –– George Bernard Shaw)
00:27:13pamaurychrisjj: the two contains different strings (ie the revision number), this can change the data section size alignment, make the entire binary to shift by 4 byte, change all addresses
00:29:58[Saint]FWIW, it's not so much that the panic screen 'disables the watchdog', and more that the fact that we panicked means something very fundamental fell over.
00:29:58chrisjjUnderstood, but ISTM the large version number is absorbed by word alignment in this case. There's no data section displacement. http://i.imgur.com/qRkaNr9.png

00:31:32[Saint]I just wanted to be clear because your verbiage seems to suggest that despite repeated clarification that you think that the watchdog service is being disabled deliberately.
00:31:58[Saint]when it's more akin to 'shit totally hit the fan'.
00:32:56[Saint]if a panic was a recoverable state, it wouldn't happen to begin with.
00:33:02pamaurychrisjj: most of the changes I see between the two bins are jumps with slightly different addresses. Comparing diff is inevitably going to be tricky, litterally anything can trigger massive changes in the compile process
00:34:25chrisjjUnderstood. And I see the gcc version changed.
00:38:37pamaurythat's the host gcc, it should make no different, what matters is the arm compiler and it's the same
00:38:58chrisjjGood to hear the compiler is the same.
00:39:03***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:39:32chrisjjBTW, re strings, UNIX strings command finds no string changed, other that the version number we know of.
00:41:57chrisjjSo, of the 'literally anything can trigger massive changes', it might be useful if we knew even one that might cause today's small changes :-)
00:41:58[Saint]...which is entirely expected.
00:42:54 Quit skapazzo (Quit: leaving)
00:42:59[Saint]even order of operations can change the outcome of non-reproducible builds.
00:43:58pamaurychrisjj: the version number ( 8e82839feM) is included in the binary, so yes there is at least one string that is different. I'm not going to discuss binary changes anymore unless you have something *interesting* to say on the topic.
00:44:21chrisjjBilgus: pamaury has said source is unchanged so I'm confident disasm would be likewise unchanged.
00:44:35[Saint]well, evidently his definition of interesting is incredibly broad.
00:44:35pamauryrockbox does not have reproducible builds
00:45:40[Saint]you can compile the same build on the same host, with the same host configuration, and still get different yet non-substantive results.
00:45:48[Saint]it's really neither important nor interesting.
00:46:00pamauryand in this case, the source IS DIFFERENT, because the version number is different and it is included in the binary, as I already said 2 times already
00:46:15[Saint]Oh, yes, I know.
00:46:19chrisjjOK. The most interesting this I can say (not saying it is interesting) is that: 1) code behaviour difference, cause unknown 2) code binary differs, cause unknown 3) In the absence of any other explanation for 1, it might be worth considering that there is a causative realtionship.
00:47:13[Saint]Yes, I'm aware this is a different build. Just clarifying that even the same source revision can still produce a different binary and it's non-interesting.
00:47:38chrisjjGood point. Corrting myself: Version number aside, pamaury has said source is unchanged so I'm confident disasm would be likewise unchanged.
00:47:46[Saint]at this stage the only interesting metric is pass/fail.
00:47:49[Saint]that's really it.
00:49:15[Saint]chrisjj: your confidence is unwarranted and no one is really interested in correcting that misunderstanding.
00:49:38[Saint]at this stage it's very clear you can be both confident, and wrong.
00:49:46[Saint]they're not mutually exclusive things.
00:50:11chrisjjAnyone sufficiently unconfident to fancy spending their time comparing the two disasms, please go ahead.
00:50:55pamauryWell let's just hope that it doesn't come to diffing the two bin to understand the difference, because that's going to be a lot of work.
00:51:13pamauryThere is another option that we have no considered
00:51:27pamaurychrisjj: did you use RoLo to load the new binary when you changed the firmware ?
00:51:37pamauryor did you do a proper power-down and power up ?
00:51:47chrisjjGood question. I tried both.
00:52:06chrisjj... thinking that perhaps a ROLO start is unclean.
00:52:14pamauryand both failed ?
00:52:48chrisjjWhoops, my [23:51] crossed with yours.
00:53:52chrisjjHang on... checking notes.
00:57:03pamauryThere is actually another possible explanation, very logical but also very bad: it's a cache+dma problem
00:58:16*chrisjj reaches for garlic
01:00
01:01:30chrisjjA: Not recorded. Sorry. I can't say for sure that ROLO-started sessions failed or Power-on-started sessions failed, but I can say for sure Reset-started sessions failed.
01:02:04chrisjjI can rerun any tests you need, in the three variants.
01:02:53pamaurychrisjj: please re-run after a clean boot
01:03:05chrisjjDefine clean boot, wise one.
01:03:13pamaurypower up, power down, power up
01:03:37chrisjjOK. And do you think battery v. external power might affect?
01:04:38pamauryin doubt, just battery. It shouldn't make a difference though
01:04:50*pamaury goes to bed
01:05:46chrisjjOK, though I have to say it makes more of difference that I expect elsewhere. E.g. with external power from charger (not PC), noot attempts to connect to USB. But no matter. Will do.

01:17:00chrisjj[Saint], it is not the USB screen, and holding plug doesn't prevent it. It is boot's attempt to connect to USB, before the .rockbox app launches.
01:17:21chrisjjThanks anyway for the thought.
01:18:47[Saint]Sorry, I thought you were referring to code that Rockbox actually has control over.

01:22:34 Nick _builtin is now known as __builtin (~xray@rockbox/developer/builtin)
01:23:06*chrisjj finds builtin's nick changes... fascinating
01:24:04chrisjj[Saint] I was. This code is the Rockbox bootloader.
01:24:33[Saint]chrisjj: at that stage, it isn't. It's a fairly complex process.
01:25:59chrisjjSo if this is not Rockbox code, how come the lines above show the Rockbox version number?

01:27:27[Saint]Perhaps I'm misinterpreting what you're seeing.
01:31:28chrisjjOr I didn't describe it well enough.
01:31:44[Saint]My understanding is these things have a slightly unusual boot process, not in and of themselves, but in comparison to other targets. I thought you were referring to a host USB mode before the jump to the bootloader.
01:32:13chrisjjOn RBed ZEN boot, after CREATIVE and some flashes, I get an image with black background and white text.
01:32:29 Quit __builtin (Quit: http://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably. Anywhere.)
01:32:39chrisjjFirst line says 'Boot version:' and Rockbox version number.
01:33:31chrisjjWhen on charger, a line below says "USB connecting".
01:33:44[Saint]And it just stalls there if USB is plugged? Cute.
01:34:00 Join __builtin [0] (~xray@rockbox/developer/builtin)
01:34:29[Saint]Apparently it can't tell the difference between charge-only and a USB host.
01:34:58[Saint]It's probably waiting for an imaginary host in the charger to enumerate.
01:35:29chrisjjA: No. It enters "Bootloader USB mode".
01:35:45chrisjjOn a charger, it soon times out. No harm done.
01:36:14chrisjjYes, I agree it can't tell the difference.. until the charger doesn't respond :)
01:37:55chrisjjBut that timeout is very impatient. 1-2s.
01:39:22chrisjjNot a problem... unless that same impatience is the cause of the poor engagement I get on the USB mode of the .rockbox app. The device can bounce on and off Windows like a rubber ball.

04:13:59[Saint]can't you just ask for the playback buffer temporarily?
04:14:09__builtinI'll probably use gevaerts's recommended approach and dynamically grab the playback buffer, so yes
04:22:00__builtinproblem is, it's impossible for me to test
04:22:17__builtinI don't think the sim accurately simulates how memory is laid out, or does it?

14:25:23pamauryLet me have a look
14:26:10Bilgusthey work fine on a bunch of sansas no clue about others besides the zen
14:26:53pamauryare you saying that rb.pcm_is_playing() works on some players but not all
14:26:53pamaury?
14:27:05Bilgusyes
14:28:31Bilgusfailed specifically for chrisjj and his zen replaced it with rb.audio_status() and it worked
14:28:37pamauryBilgus: afaict, pcm_is_playing is not exported at all by lua
14:29:03Bilgusextra weird then
14:29:43pamaurybut I don't see audio_status() either
14:30:26BilgusI think lua actually just parses the header file and makes its own functions from them

20:55:50FinfiHi
20:56:13Finfi...So I've cross-wired pins on my Clip+ and plugged it while in Ubuntu
20:56:39FinfiAnd this is what sudo fdisk -l gives me:
20:56:55FinfiDisk /dev/sdc: 30,6 MiB, 32096256 bytes, 62688 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
20:57:09FinfiIs flash drive in this Clip+ dead?
20:58:15chrisjjpamaury, re your 'did you test 8e82839f_lcdfix' - not since we last IRCs last night. I picked be68b6a7b.
20:59:58pamaurychrisjj: and ?
21:00
21:00:07chrisjjI retested Verions be68b6a7b using clean install (no added/retained files except audio) and clean boot (power-on).
21:00:59chrisjjOn Unit Q (the unit that showed fail on this version before, in possibly ROLO or Reset boot), success on two runs (>=6hrs).
21:01:42chrisjjTest had power source = battery.
21:02:59chrisjjWould you like the next test to be 8e82839f_lcdfix? Or the new build with LED blink on panic?
21:05:06pamauryok so may the fails you saw were false alarm. Could you run https://www.dropbox.com/s/pr1v9cptcps509j/rockbox_led.zip?dl=0 ?
21:05:23pamauryit doesn't blink on panic, at the moment it just gives an extra entry in the debug menu to play with the LED
21:05:31pamauryIn System > Debug > Show HW Info > led
21:06:33pamaurythe code highligh the led color channel (in your case, only one: blue), press enter to start editing, then press up/down (or left/right can't remember) to dim it.
21:08:58chrisjjI think the many fails I saw were a true alarm. They weren't 100% then, so no big surprise they aren't 100% now. I'd bet they depend on a variable ingredient. My list of candidates includes: Boot type (power-on/reset/ROLO); user settings e.g. theme; power source (battery/external). When I'm sure we've got a stable recipe, i'll retest to find the culprit.

21:24:36chrisjjpamaury: that rockbox_led.zip is 3cda546d5-170111 and succeeds in an unclean install with clean boot on my ZEN Unit P.
21:25:31chrisjjBy succeeds I mean e.g. System > Debug > View HW Info > led , press Select, press Down -> LED lights.
21:26:08FinfiThere's another thing: the output of sudo fdisk -l doesn't change no matter if pins are cross-wired or not
21:31:48chrisjjpamaury, The UI's step values are unstable. The scale has the poor brightness linearity that we'd expect from uncorrected pulse width. The menu offers (in addition to 'blue', where Up/Down alter %age and brightness) 'unknown' on which Up/Down alter a displayed frequency temporarily
21:32:19chrisjjLooks to me ample for PANIC (and other) debugging!
21:32:55pamaurychrisjj: the unknown is a bug, I'll fix. Yeah it's not very linear but for LEDs, I'm not going to calibrate it
21:33:22chrisjjYou planning to use intermediate brightness for something?
21:34:52pamauryProbably not but since they are on the PWM channel, you get for free
21:35:18pamaurythe debug UI only changes the duty cycle, not the frequency, it's just a test, the code can affect both
21:35:20 Join TheLemonMan [0] (~root@irssi/staff/TheLemonMan)
21:36:15chrisjjOK. If you change your mind, sqrt().
21:37:06*__builtin gives chrisjj a friendly reminder that PANIC has no meaning
21:37:23pamaurywell it's doesn't make sense to do it in the interface, the API exposes frequency and duty cycle. The duty cycle does not necessarily corresponds to brightness
21:38:25*pamaury is trying to think if any other imx233 target has LEDs
21:38:40chrisjjThe duty cycle definitely does not correspond to brightness. Hence my suggestion of sqrt(). However yes, that can be left to the app rather than RB.
21:39:26 Quit Finfi (Quit: Page closed)
21:39:51pamauryI mean, if you set freq=1Hz and the duty cycle controls the blinking frequency, thus sqrt() makes no sense
21:39:52chrisjjDid the ZEN I sent die?
21:40:13pamaurychrisjj: it got stolen with my bag last year, along with other players
21:40:23chrisjjAw, bummer.
21:40:44chrisjjYou should have said. I can't replace the others, but I'll send you a ZEN.
21:40:45pamauryI still have the ZEN Mozaic, V, V Plus, MX, X-Fi, X-Fi2, X-Fi3
21:41:14chrisjjShame they didn't steal the crappy ones instead :-)
21:41:43pamauryWell that's was quite random, to be honest losing my computer was more annoying
21:41:56chrisjjSounds like you need a ZEN and a ZEN X-Fi Style.
21:42:14pamauryI have a ZEN X-Fi Style but the battery is dead :-(
21:42:28chrisjjAny others missing from your set?
21:43:05pamauryNot that I can think of. I also have the Touch 2 but not a good device. And I'm not interested in the pre-ZEN generation
21:43:29pamauryI also have the Style M300
21:44:02TorCchrisjj: pamaury: Was it just one ZEN that is having trouble? If so, have you verified that sleep timer isn't set to turn on on boot set for a couple hours?
21:44:32pamaurychrisjj: please wait a moment, I will dig into my player box to make sure which players I have exactly
21:44:34chrisjjIs your ZEN X-Fi Style on external power good enough for development? Or shall I send you a replacement?
21:44:40chrisjjOK, I'll wait.
21:45:33pamaurychrisjj: if you have a spare X-Fi Style that would be cool. The port should be functional but there are features I cannot test without the battery

21:49:27FinfiMy case is similar to this: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=34186.0
21:49:59*chrisjj hides pink ZEN from girlfriend.
21:50:06TorCFinfi: You can read the logs for that (see topic), but I had just read the scrollback, and it wasn't answered yet.
21:50:11pamauryFinfi: iirc, if you see a 30MB I think the flash is dead
21:51:01FinfiWhat is surprising me tho is that it doesn't matter if pins are short-wired or not
21:51:26TorCThat's what I recall too. You might want to replace it. There's a build of bootloader that will load RB from uSD if int flash is dead, but IIUC you have to install it before the player dies.

21:53:35johnb2Finfi: I had a similar clip+ recently, i.e. showing the same behaviour. I was able to dd the bin file, but that did not change it.
21:54:27johnb2I gave up on it.
21:55:46chrisjjpamaury, re sending replacement ZENs, you have mail.
21:56:05chrisjjMeanwhile, which build do you want me to test? I could return to be68b6a7b+memDFS which will hopefully now give us the battery benchmark.

21:56:46pamaurywhich logs do you have so far ?
21:57:08FinfiSadly I don't see any way to bring my Clip+ to life
21:59:00chrisjjpamaury, none complete, and none I would now trust anyway! :) I'll rerun, with clean install & boot.
22:00
22:00:02TorCFinfi: Not easily, if at all, most likely. It was right around 0000 1/1/1 UTC-8 that the IRC logs would be found if you want to look up on replacing the nand. Some work a little later. Nothing conclusive has showed up on IRC that I've seen.
22:00:03pamauryok, so in this case, re-run be68b6a7b+memDFS and be68b6a7b

23:02:02lebelliumpamaury: your price is definitely not the right one. You stole it :P
23:02:09lebelliumalmost
23:02:29pamauryhaha
23:03:02pamaurystill 100€ for that is expensive
23:03:18*pamaury wouldn't spend more than 10 ;)
23:08:51pamaurylebellium: is it working now ?
23:09:09lebelliumI'm not flash_pamaury!
23:10:05*pamaury works on more bootloader features in the mean time
23:10:20lebelliumif you saw me using Ubuntu, you would probably laugh
23:12:27pamaurySo let's agree on the bootloader, my plan is:
23:12:28pamauryFirst boot: show the menu
23:12:28pamaurySubsequent boots: don't show the menu (unless swtch is on) and proceed with the previously chosen option
23:12:28DBUGEnqueued KICK pamaury
23:12:28pamauryWhen the bootloader is invoked and switch is initially on, power off after X seconds if there are no actions / not switch unhold (which one is better ?)
23:12:28pamauryIf switch is off and there is not activity for Y seconds: power off/boot (boot is probably better)
23:14:08TorCI'm not sure what you mean by "not switch unhold", but otherwise I think your plan makes sense.
23:14:41TorCI'd go for boot on timeout and figure that [OF|RB] will handle power off on timeout if needed.
23:15:01pamauryTorC: ah yeah, sorry, the device can detect key stroke even when hold is on. Which means that there is the option to consider a key stroke when hold is on as "activity"
23:15:21TorCSince it is reasonable to figure on accidental boot menu show request.
23:15:34TorCAh. I don't have the device to know that.
23:15:48lebelliumpamaury: bootloader working, keys working, debug menu working, spiderapp working, rockbox can't load and crash even after a reset
23:16:04pamaurySo you would boot on timeout always (ie never power off) and let the OF/RB handle it ?
23:16:23TorCBut do leave a longish timeout on boot menu, because the assumption is it is wanted.
23:16:34pamaurylebellium: by crash you mean ?
23:17:38lebelliumpamaury: well I should rather say "stuck on the rockbox selection logo". The E580 crashed (rebooted) at first until I solved it somehow but this one doesn't reboot, it just gets stuck
23:17:50pamauryTorC: ok so what should be the values of X and Y ? For Y (switch on) it should be small (like 5/10 seconds). For X, not sure
23:17:52TorCWell, it appears the boot menu will only show on request, so there was an intention to turn the device on, IIUC. Unless it's a rattling-around-in-backpack boot, in which case all bets are off.
23:18:08pamaurylebellium: that sounds like a crash indeed
23:18:22pamaurylebellium: can you look at the root of your device, there should be a file called rockbox.txt
23:18:40pamauryrockbox.log
23:18:48pamaurydoes it contain any useful info ?
23:19:39pamauryTorC: yeah good point
23:19:54TorCIf hold switch on (and could be forgotten) will call boot menu, probably 5-10s is good. For other button pushed to more deliberately call bootloader, 30s or so.
23:20:14lebelliumpamaury: not sure http://pastebin.com/daM63KE3
23:20:15pamaurysounds good
23:20:52TorCOf course, hold switch might be used to avoid backpack boot, in which case lock, and power off if hold not released within 5-10s.
23:21:06TorCAssuming you can do that.

23:31:58lebelliumexactly like with the E580
23:32:19pamaurythat sounds like your OS is doing crap
23:32:24pamaurysomehow
23:32:28pamaurylebellium: so it's working ?
23:32:44lebelliummaybe it's a problem with the VM when mounting and unmounting USB devices
23:32:50lebelliumworking, great :)
23:33:07pamaurypossibly
23:34:11lebelliumsame battery indicator not stable
23:34:28lebelliumit's moving like in charge status
23:35:25lebelliumand just powered off because of (untrue) empty battery
23:35:49pamauryhum
23:36:08lebelliumplayback not crashing but no sound
23:36:46pamauryit's strange, I don't have this funny battery reading problem
23:37:18lebelliumI don't know yet if it does it only after fresh install or at each reboot
23:37:27lebelliumbut it needs some time to stabilize
23:38:06lebelliumit said 25%; 1 second later 9% now 12%
23:38:13lebelliumnow 27%
23:40:48lebelliumas on E580 at first I got no sound and somehow now I get sound (crappy, max output)
23:41:15pamaurylebellium: can you go to System > Debug > HW info > power
23:41:44pamauryand tell me how "avg voltage" and "raw voltage" are changing
23:44:15lebelliumraw voltage is changing every millisecond or such, I don't even have time to read
23:44:31lebelliumavg voltage was stable
23:44:47lebelliumand now I got kicked off, powered off
23:46:06pamaurylebellium: is raw voltage changing a lot (like hugely different values) ?
23:46:43lebelliumlooks like it was switching always between 2 or 3 values (4060mV and down to 3xxxmV)
23:47:09lebelliumoh OK
23:47:13lebelliumI figured it out
23:47:23lebelliumit depends if you're playing a file or not
23:48:08pamaurylebellium: really ?? weird
23:48:11lebelliumwith no playback it seems stbale
23:48:13lebelliumstable*
23:48:23pamaurylebellium: I have updated gerrit
23:48:31 Quit xorly (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
23:48:36pamaurycan you updated and recompile rockbox (not bootloader) and see if it's better
23:49:01lebelliumok, then I go to bed
23:49:40 Quit skapazzo (Quit: leaving)
23:49:59pamauryah I think I get it
23:50:36pamaurysometimes the kernel might return -1 because it cannot read the voltage (it needs to send a message to the PMU). And thus the battery reads 4V, 4V, -1V, 4V, etc
23:54:38lebelliumActually it doesn't seems to be related to playback. With no playback it switching between 4042 and 4060mV raw voltage every millisecond now
23:54:49pamaurysmall variations are normal
23:54:55pamauryhuge one not really
23:55:05pamaurybut try the new one, it should be much better
23:55:13lebelliumjust compiled
23:55:14lebelliumtrying now
