00:43:32furrywolfwhile you were asleep, there seemed to be several opinions that you should switch back to the interrupt-driven code, then figure out why it doesn't work on the devices it doesn't work on, rather than trying to figure out why the non-interrupt one doesn't work on mine.

01:03:52furrywolfwhen the usb cable is connected, the ui immediately freezes. linux attempts to enumerate it, and fails. when the cable is unplugged, then it jumps to the usb plug screen for a fraction of a second, then back to the main menu.
01:04:08furrywolfwith the dev build before, it would usually show the usb plug screen, then fail.
01:04:56furrywolfthese builds don't seem to loop like the head dev build was doing - it would visibly keep connecting and disconnecting, while yours tend to just freeze.

01:05:17Mihaillogf show problem, I need a bit time to think
01:05:40furrywolfare you trying to use the interrupt-based older code, or the non-interrupt newer code?
01:06:19Mihailnon-interrupt
01:06:21furrywolfslightly related: does it charge in bootloader usb mode?
01:06:32Mihailyes
01:06:40furrywolfI like interrupt-driven asynchronous code better. :P
01:06:54 Quit xorly (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
01:07:37Mihailhave many problems with it and no one can fix it
01:07:49furrywolfwhy can no one fix it?
01:07:54furrywolfalso, at least for me, it has no problems. lol
01:08:10Mihailwe don't have datasheet for i2c2
01:08:48furrywolfthat harms fixing the non-interrupt one too
01:09:35Mihailamsv2 players have bunch of problems with old code - freezeы and panics
01:10:10BilgusI'd almost rather go back to the original and work on the amsv2 problem since I have a physical unit to test on
01:10:46Bilgusfurrywolf you said you had coding experience feel like doing some dev?
01:11:01furrywolfI generally consider asynchronous i/o with ISRs to be better, just because it's the right way of doing it.
01:11:29furrywolfBilgus: I have far more projects than time and energy. I just wanted to make my mp3 player work so I could make my jobsite radio play music. lol
01:11:56furrywolfthis started as "I'll just install rockbox, shouldn't take more than 5 minutes..."
01:13:23furrywolfalso, my experience is it takes a lot of time to get up to speed on a new codebase.
01:13:57*furrywolf has no idea how rockbox works, and has never done usb coding
01:14:25Mihailgeneral - yes asynchronous i/o with ISRs to be better, but for I2C2 we have bigger overhead for interrupt version and it overcomplicated
01:14:42 Quit ender` (Quit: Patriotism is, fundamentally, a conviction that a particular country is the best in the world because you were born in it. — George Bernard Shaw)
01:14:52Mihail* in general
01:15:34furrywolfit could be worse... you could be bit-banging a gpio pin. :)
01:17:38furrywolfthe old code has a number of error and sanity checks the new code lacks
01:17:49__builtinwoot! SDL compiles!!! (-ish)
01:17:56furrywolflike actually seeing if reads returned anything
01:18:18Mihailit not used
01:18:57__builtinthough I don't have any drivers that actually do anything :P
01:21:47__builtinand I also have a version of SDL from 2014 for some reason
01:22:16furrywolfhrmm, the as3525 has usb otg... seems that should be able to be used for something. :)
01:22:34 Quit Jinx (Quit: Sad day in USA)
01:24:17pamauryfurrywolf: iirc the hardware is not wired for otg
01:24:21pamauryso you can't use it
01:27:21pamauryMihail: you could try to use an intermediate solution use tick_task
01:27:24furrywolfmeh, yeah, the datasheet I found tells you the addresses of the i2c registers, but not what to do with them.
01:27:30*__builtin decides to only write drivers for the "useful" parts of SDL
01:29:43furrywolfwhat datasheet was used to write the code? or is it based on dumping stock firmware and reverse-engineering?
01:29:55pamauryprobably reverse engineering
01:31:43pamauryMihail: you cannot mutex_lock in tick_task (since it's called from IRQ) but what you can do is have a state machine with three states: IDLE, REQ, WAIT. IDLE means nothing to do, REQ means 'please start a read of ENDR0' and WAIT means 'waiting for this read to finish'. The INT_AUDIO simply moves the code from IDLE to REQ (if it was IDLE). Then REQ starts a read (or does nothing if there is an i2c operation in progress) and of course sets a
01:31:43pamauryvariable tht prevent any other operation in the mean time. Then WAIT checks if read is finished, if it is, it does what is necessary and release the 'lock'.
01:33:51pamauryMihail: otherwise if there are thread regularly doing i2c operations (like powermgm peraps ?). Then I suggest you simply defer the ENRD0 read to this thread. It would work like this: INT_AUDIO sets a (volatile) variable to 1. The i2c read function checks if this variable is 1 and if it is, it first does a read to ENRD0 and only then does the read it was supposed to. This way you get a thread to do the operation for you and you can safely lock
01:34:04furrywolfwww.keil.com/dd/docs/datashts/ams/as3525_ds.pdf does seem to cover it a bit, around page 157
01:34:24pamauryfurrywolf: the whole point is that we don't know what changed in amsv2
01:34:37pamauryand the code was broken in amsv2
01:35:30Mihailok, thanks! I try it later. As I already say - furrywolf's case not related to mutex
01:37:57pamaurystill, mutex lock in irq context is no no, this needs to be fixed
01:38:28Mihailsure
01:38:39lebelliumpamaury: hum I put some songs onto my E580, unplug it, and now when it boots it's stuck on the boot selection screen. Nothing happens when I select Walkman and I can't move to Rockbox with the keys. The reset hole doesn't help. It's still recognized by the computer.
01:38:41pamauryand jhMikeS says that if an IRQ takes too long it results in weird things
01:39:02pamaurylebellium: are you sure you don't have the hold key on ?
01:39:11lebelliumoh
01:39:12lebellium-_-
01:39:29pamauryI need to add code to provide some HOLD key indicator,
01:39:32lebelliumthat probably means I should have a sleep
01:39:45pamauryto be fair it happened to me at least several times
01:40:53lebelliumis there a way to power it off from the bootloader screen? Or am I obliged to enter walkman?
01:41:56furrywolfthere's a lot of stuff on this chip.
01:42:35pamaurylebellium: no currently you have to go to OF
01:42:56lebelliumok
01:43:07Mihailpamaury: yes, but i2c2 quite fast even on amsv1 (see i2c2_transfer()) - we measure "wait for transfer" - at normal case it was 2000-3000
01:43:26pamaury2000 what ?
01:43:28lebelliumI'll go to sleep now. I can't believe I didn't notice hold switch was ON ....

01:46:26pamaurydid you post the code somewhere ?
01:48:10*pamaury goes to bed
01:48:27Mihailhttp://knk.square7.ch/rb/i2c2.patch
01:50:16furrywolfis the interrupt-based code not working on v2 players due to a change in the SoC, or in external hardware?
01:50:27pamauryisn't that still locking in IRQ ? (I *guess* it will be okay since mutex_lock will always succeed but still)
01:51:46Mihailif we have lock in interrupt - player should freeze, right? but it still work after usb disconnect
01:52:12pamauryI just mean that you are still indirectly calling mutex_lock() is IRQ context
01:52:15pamaurythat's completely undefined
01:53:50pamauryeven if you know that the mutex is not locked
01:54:08*pamaury is tired and goes to bed

02:03:17furrywolfhrmm.
02:03:26furrywolfhow do you know how to do them in a non-interrupt fashion? lol
02:06:40furrywolfbrb, time to fire up the generator.
02:06:55MihailI looked at old code - early it was non-interrupt
02:07:02jhMikeSif you have to lock out interrupts when the voltage is low you're doing something wrong
02:09:10jhMikeSmy v2 blows up quickly enough though.
02:09:35Mihailit not dependent from voltage value, it freeze as start often read and write to i2c2
02:09:45jhMikeSone problem with blocking in set_cpu_frequency is that it should not be reentered
02:10:06jhMikeSit didn't before introducing the scaling stuff
02:11:25Mihailit freeze not only with scaling, sometime it freeze just at poweroff
02:13:06furrywolfwhy do problems in this code only affect usb/power stuff, and not break audio control, which seems to be off the same bus?
02:14:40jhMikeSthere is an interesting thing with the interrupt driver with read/write pmu, if ints are disabled and you don't wait right after each request being queued (to run the loop that calls the routine), it freezes
02:15:40jhMikeSfurrywolf: I was just messing with it and I'm a bit stumped though I never had issues without scaling enabled
02:16:26Mihailas before i2c2 used rarely
02:17:33jhMikeSI checked a bunch of stuff.
02:18:08Mihailfurrywolf: try http://knk.square7.ch/rb/rockbox-fuzev1-usb-5.zip - I completely remove mutex as pamaury say
02:18:24furrywolfdownloading.
02:19:23jhMikeSinterrupts need to be on though, not masked during every transfer
02:20:31jhMikeSunless you like messing up recordings and such
02:21:05Mihailyes, but it most easy way for test
02:21:46Mihaillater we should fix as pamaury say
02:22:31Mihaildon't call it directly from interrup
02:23:30furrywolfno USB at all. does not respond to plugging, is not identified by pc.
02:23:35jhMikeSMihail: I don't think the old code is "too complicated". It straighforward, though maybe not entirely correct in every way.
02:23:56furrywolfit doesn't freeze, but it doesn't do anything else, either, and the host doesn't detect it being plugged in.
02:24:38Mihailfurrywolf: can you dump and upload logf again?
02:25:44*jhMikeS 's just going to patch his devices with the old code to work the way they should.
02:26:51MihailjhMikeS: IMHO - old code overkill, as i2c2 quite fast.

02:31:31jhMikeSMihail: I disagree 110% with that
02:32:44jhMikeSI don't really care though. I'll stick with what works and meets PCM deadlines without convoluted tick task fuckery
02:33:08Mihaildid you have skip in PCM with new code?
02:35:54jhMikeSYou will have them. The old driver was being run with interrupts masked to do two transfers in a row, so more like how it is now anyway. It was changed to queue them and block.
02:39:12MihailI mean current rockbox. As I say - now I disable interrupts just for test
02:41:24furrywolf-6 is back to the previous behavior. freezes while usb cable is connected, unfreezes on removal, doesn't enumerate.
02:41:45furrywolfhttp://fw.bushytails.net/tmp/logf.04.txt
02:43:03furrywolfI dislike the busy loop polling to see if the transfer has finished.
02:43:59***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
02:45:25furrywolfso you set the data count to how many bytes you want to read/write, and the chip clears it when done? have a link to the datasheet this is in?
02:45:43Mihailyes, but we in this case with i2c2 we polling very low time. Interrupt version even bit slower than non-interrupt.
02:46:48furrywolfwhat does ascodec_endofch do?
02:47:25furrywolfit looks like an isr, but INT_AUDIO does that...
02:47:52furrywolfI'm trying to familiarize myself with your codebase, as I have absolutely no idea how it all works. :)
02:49:06Mihailascodec_endofch will return true if we have "end of charging" event
02:49:26Mihailhttp://knk.square7.ch/rb/rockbox-fuzev1-usb-7.zip
02:49:29jhMikeSfurrywolf: yeah, you burn a lot of cycles. a bit faster isn't really that important as much as doing other stuff in the meantime.
02:49:36furrywolfwhy is it wrapped in disable_irq_save?
02:50:32Mihailto prevent corruption if irq try set it
02:51:34furrywolfthen why isn't ascodec_chg_status? :)
02:51:46furrywolfI don't think it's related to the usb problem in the slightest, it just seems odd.

03:31:14furrywolfhrmm!
03:32:19furrywolfthe old code reads (and thus clears) IRQ_ENRD_1 and IRQ_ENRD_2 as well as IRQ_ENRD_0. is it getting stuck because one of these is getting triggered on usb connect, and not cleared?
03:33:46furrywolfI don't see anything in there that would get poked on usb changes, though. nevermind.
03:34:43furrywolfand I think I read the offsets wrong. What are the extra two bytes the old code is reading?
03:38:44furrywolfyeah, it is reading the other two. but I don't see any usb or charger bits in them.
03:45:24furrywolfother than the RTC interrupt
03:46:32furrywolfand the ADC...
03:46:33furrywolfhrmm
03:57:38furrywolfyou're enabling "Generate irq for push-pull, active high, irq on rtc+adc change", but it doesn't look like you ever read or clear them.
03:57:38furrywolfthat I can find, with my very limited understanding of the code.
03:58:10furrywolfblah, I don't want to deal with setting up a whole build environment for this.
03:58:35furrywolfanyone who knows the code better, and isn't asleep, want to comment on if this could in any way be related?
03:59:59furrywolfI guess it won't actually cause any problems... it just generates useless interrupts that don't do anything.

04:01:05furrywolfbut my arm knowledge is quite limited.

12:04:28*jhMikeS seems to have solved the issue with the interrupt I2C driver and voltage scaling. it's not the i2c driver. set_cpu_frequency was being called from a tick task in action.c (gui_unboost_callback).
12:04:44*jhMikeS kicks buschel in the nuts
12:14:32pamaurylol
12:14:42pamauryactually I was suspecting that
12:20:29jhMikeSmy v2 scales voltage happily but I can't run it as low as 0.875 V or whatever ridiculously low setting
12:21:11jhMikeSpamaury: y u no follow through? *glares disapprovingly* ;)
12:24:07pamauryjhMikeS: I woke up this morning reading the logs and I suddently thought "what is someone does cpu scaling in IRQ ?" but didn't have time to investigate
12:24:48pamauryjhMikeS: actually I wonder if adding some extra checks in various places (like mutex_lock and cpu scaling) to panic if called from irq would be useful
12:24:53pamauryat least on debug builds
12:29:24 Join dfkt [0] (~dfkt@unaffiliated/dfkt)
12:29:25jhMikeSI put in a panic in set_cpu_frequency if the processor mode wasn't 0x1f, then backtracked once it turned up a positive
12:30:15jhMikeSpamaury: probably. they aren't there because, well, you should do it right and we like lightweight functions but this one turns up all too often
12:31:26jhMikeSbtw, I don't know what the minimum safe voltage is. I just set it to 1.0V and it's happy. I just know that the setting of 0.875V is not stable.
12:31:48jhMikeSI also turned on regulator ramping 42uS
12:32:19jhMikeSnot sure if that matters though since it I was just tweaking stuff and left it there
12:32:44pamauryMihail is the one who lowered voltage on the ams I think
12:33:10jhMikeSrisky
12:33:59jhMikeSthe high is 1.1875 and the low seems to be experimentally tweaked per target
12:35:05jhMikeSit's doubful it
12:35:22jhMikeS's a good idea to do that. one chip might be fine really low while others not
12:35:34 Join shdwprince [0] (~textual@31.129.102.143)
12:37:19pamauryyeah 0.875 seems really low, I think we should use a safe setting
12:37:28jhMikeSamsv1 is running 1.20/1.10
12:37:39pamauryvoltage is not *that* important to justify running so close to the edge
12:37:54pamauryand that might have unpredictable consequences
12:38:11jhMikeSamsv1 is running 1.1875 and as low as 0.750 V !
12:38:44jhMikeSat the point where it's dependent on a particular chip and maybe even temp is bad
12:41:11pamauryI suggest we revert the bad commit to go back to async ascodec read and maybe discuss with Mihail to revert some of those voltages
12:42:13jhMikeSsomehow though this action.c boosting has to be redone. 38.4MHz UI is damned sluggish without the boosting
12:44:15***No seen item changed, no save performed.
12:45:07jhMikeSpamaury: btw, yes, unpredicable and unstable. if I run 0.8750V, the player just sticks at a white screen on boot. it's too low if everything can't function.
12:47:19pamauryyeah clearly this should be reverted
12:52:34pamauryhow does gui boost works ?
12:53:21pamauryI wonder if we should have some generic irq deferred work, so one can defer some work to a thread when irq is unsafe
12:58:43jhMikeSmost CPUs take too long to set a new frequency to safely do it in an ISR since the function isn't reenterable and they'd have to be blocked.
12:59:22pamauryI know, that's why we need to do this work on a thread
13:00
13:01:12jhMikeSI don't think it needs a new thread. just do it on the action / button waits. if boosted, loop with a timeout instead of blocking. easy
13:03:02jhMikeSI have a patch that removed a separate thread for scrolling lines that does that and it works nicely, running it all on the main thread

14:13:47dysthe firmware downloads they provide are about 1.5MB

14:13:53dysi don't think android fits in there
14:14:14dyspamaury true, but still way better than messing with badly documented DSPs
14:14:20Bilgussorry button.c is where the first boost happens
14:15:45Bilguscurrently *in button.c -> button_get() boosts if behind on the queue, in Action.c it again boosts on any return from button_get() with a timeout
14:16:01Bilgusthat reads better sorry just woke up

14:20:54BilgusI wonder if this might be the problem someone was having with flac? NO, Opus a few months ago and I gave him FW with a long timeout that seemed to help
14:24:03pamaurydys: assuming it's XOR, loop for very repetitive patterns
14:24:18BilgusjhMikeS, I think the reason 'someone' used a timeout is because /* most every action takes two rounds through get_action_worker,
14:24:18Bilgus * once for the keypress and once for the key release,
14:24:18Bilgus * actions with pre_button codes take even more to quote myself

14:32:27MihailI don't understand point to revert to interrupt version. Non interrupt version can work even in interrupts. For interrupt version we should rework scaling and make it more complicated. But what profit? You talk about possible skips in pcm, but I don't have it, even when send pcm without dma. Are you have real test case with pcm skips?
14:32:28jhMikeSno, I have it only when the voltage is too low, as is your setting

14:32:56jhMikeSthe interrupt version technically should too but were not doing that because scalings take too long
14:33:24Mihaildon't understand - rockbox from git already have 0.85v
14:33:36jhMikeSit's not all about AMS. those functions are not reentrant and cannot have interrupts disabled the whole time
14:34:07jhMikeSIf everything doesn't work at a certain voltage, it's too low.
14:34:59jhMikeSI didn't tweak around to find the absolute minimum, I just set it to 1.0V and I never get a white screen. 0.875 gives one every time.

14:40:57jhMikeSit's generally true for any target
14:41:08jhMikeSit takes too long to lock out interrupts
14:41:25jhMikeSPLL relocks can take milliseconds
14:42:33Mihailso why no one reports about skips in this case?
14:42:35jhMikeSthat would destroy interrupt latency since IIS fifos generally have a few microseconds
14:43:59jhMikeSbecause this case is slightly less bad than it was in the first place

14:56:41Mihailfor AMSv2 DAC we have FIFO for 112 samples = 2.5 ms
14:57:55*pamaury thinks disabling interrupts during voltage scaling is a very bad idea
14:58:28pamauryit may be disabled during very specific parts of it only, the one that really need it (if any)
14:59:11Mihailwhy? If you want I can check how it long
14:59:41BilgusSo I gather the AS3525 is actually using defines from the AS3514?

15:21:30MihailI don't hear skips at recording, but I try check it more careful. Also I'll measure how long scaling switching, so we can decide is we really need interrupt version or not
15:38:46jhMikeSwe don't because we're not going to scale in an ISR

16:52:37furrywolfMihail: awake?
17:00
17:00:26pamauryIt's unclear to me, jhMikeS found out that gui boosting can call voltage scaling in IRQ context, this is very unsafe, who knows what can result from this
17:00:57Mihailfurrywolf: yes but bit busy
17:02:12Mihailpamaury: unboosting, why it should be unsafe?
17:02:46furrywolfMihail: ok. I was looking through the source last night trying to spot functional differences between the old and new code. One difference is the old code reads (and clears) AS3514_IRQ_ENRD1 and AS3514_IRQ_ENRD2 as well as AS3514_IRQ_ENRD0, but the new code only clears AS3514_IRQ_ENRD0. You have ADC interrupts turned on, which set a bit in AS3514_IRQ_ENRD2, but it never gets cleared anywhere I can find.
17:03:05furrywolfI doubt this is related to the USB issue, but it's a bug anyway. :)
17:03:08pamauryas we explained before, on almost all targets, frequency and voltage scaling is a blocking operation, it may 1) take a long time 2) call some blocking op like mutex_lock, etc.
17:03:19pamaurygui boosting code has to be fixed
17:03:38Mihailfurrywolf: where it clears AS3514_IRQ_ENRD0?

17:45:23pamauryI don't know, if I knew I would solve the problem obviously
17:48:43pamauryone thing I need to check is if frequency scaling parameters are valid for STMP3700, maybe the code sets a voltage or frequency that the imx233 can handle but not the stmp3700

19:36:52saratoga_would there be some easy way to have a function call for disabling GUI boost? its quite annoying in some plugs (e.g. test_*) since user input may change the frequency
19:37:31saratoga_ideally i suppose it would be specific to the WPS/filebrowser screens, but a simple fix would be to let plugins disable it as needed

19:52:13saratoga_has anyone ever looked at all those random SSD mod errors people always report on the forums for the ipod 6g?

22:44:32dyshmm, the firmware image doesn't appear to be scrambled at all
22:44:36dyshttp://www.intl.onkyo.com/support/firmware/dacha300_fw/DAC_HA300_b19.zip (3M)
22:44:45dysfile entropy rendered as hilbert space-filling curve: http://ansel.ydns.eu/~andreas/DAC_HA300_b19.png (512k)
22:44:53dysarm-objdump -Mforce-thumb -b binary -m armv5 -D # yields some assembly that makes sense for the medium-entropy regions later in the file
22:45:01dysI still find it highly disturbing that there are no legible strings _at all_ in it
22:45:13pamaurythere are no strings though, that's suspicious
22:46:00pamaurybut to be fair, a 3MB firmware sounds suspicious too
22:46:20dyssome disassembly snippets make sense, i.e. systematic register use, branches before illegal instructions, etc
22:50:23pamaurydys: had a very quickly look and this doesn't look like valid code to me
22:52:41dysja, regarding the firmware size, it might be worth figuring out what kind of flash chip this: https://vk.com/wall-83451106_16
22:52:56dyss/this/this is/
22:56:17dyshere's an assembly excerpt from 2/3 into the file http://paste.debian.net/909886/
22:57:25dysah, maybe the branches make sense since switching to thumb since there are so few bits for the target…
22:58:28dyshard to make these look outlandish
22:59:39pamaurydys: it's doesn't make sense though, this is thumb code and RK3188 has Cortex A9 which only runs in ARM mode
22:59:52dyspamaury: oooh, i see
23:00
23:00:10pamaurylet me double check
23:00:13pamauryI might be wrong
23:00:38pamauryah no I'm wrong, it has 16-bit and 32-bit thumb mode
23:00:42pamauryso I take it back
23:01:47dysack, just saw that wikipedia advertises Thumb-2 support for the A9
23:03:16pamauryyeah this definitely looks like valid Thumb code
23:04:44pamaurya bit surprising to be honest, why compile to Thumb on such a processor ?
23:09:07 Quit snow_bckspc (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
23:13:55dysi still couldn't find a data sheet for the flash chip, but if it turns out to be a small NOR one, it might make some sense to go thumb
23:15:09dysI've not found a pic of the back of the pcb yet (at least the adc must be on there)
23:15:52dyss/adc/dac/
23:16:04pamaurywhy on earth would you put a small NOR chip and two big RAMs chip...
23:16:31pamaurybut yeah I guess it makes sense if you put it that way. Doesn't quite explain where are the strings though
23:16:59dysmight be worth getting one just for figuring out its mysteries :-)

23:35:08MilardoHi, has there been any progress on Sony NWZ-E350 series-rockbox?
23:37:09furrywolfpong!
23:38:12Mihailfurrywolf: your player abnormally often call INT_AUDIO - I not sure is it software or hardware problem (it flood with event "end of charge"), I can't reproduce this behavior on others players. Try: http://knk.square7.ch/rb/rockbox-fuzev1-usb-8.zip
23:38:18lebelliumMilardo: not yet
23:39:18Milardoaccording to the logs i actually asked this question nearly a year ago, just checking in to see if any work's been done on that series
23:39:46lebelliumeh
23:40:00lebelliumwork on the linux-based SOny players started later
23:40:45Milardowhats that
23:41:47lebelliumYour E350 appears to be linux-based
23:42:15Milardook
23:42:16lebelliumso it won't be the same kind of port as the E360/E370/E380 already supported
23:42:23Milardooh ok
23:42:38Milardomay i ask whose working on it?
23:42:44lebelliumpamaury is working on it
23:43:53Milardois he/she on the channel now?
23:44:12lebelliumHe is here as you can see in the users lists
23:44:14__builtinMilardo: yes, he is
23:44:21lebelliumhe might be busy or away though
23:44:44Milardook
23:45:24Milardois there a progress log for those players yet?
23:46:28lebelliumHe got a working bootloader and Rockbox running on E460/E470/E580 and A10. But currently there is a sound issue
23:47:07pamauryhi, I've been very busy the past two week, the only progress "log" is g#1481
23:47:08fs-bluebot_Gerrit review #1481 at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/1481 : Initial commit for the Sony NWZ linux port and NWZ-E460 (WIP) by Amaury Pouly
23:48:40Milardohi pamaury, do you think that there will be a rockbox build in the near future?
23:49:06Milardofor that series
23:50:42pamaurynot until we sort the sound issue
23:51:48Milardook
23:52:08Milardoso did this work just start this year?
23:52:20Milardosays jan 8 2017
23:52:49pamauryI did some ground work years ago, but recently (like a few monts ago) I resumed it
23:52:58Milardook
23:53:10lebelliumdon't look at the patch date
23:53:13Milardowhich player do you have to work on(physically)
23:53:17lebelliumthere was another patch before :P
23:53:25Milardoi have the nwz e353 us version
23:53:34Mihailpamaury: is it software (alsa driver) or hardware sound isssue?
23:54:32Milardook
23:55:17pamauryI have E450, E460 and E580, lebellium has E580 and A15, wodz has E470, robertd has A860 on top of that. I think we have a good sampling of existing players

23:55:59pamaurysometimes there is no sound at all, sometimes there is sound but it's completely distorted
23:56:12pamauryI think there is a problem with the codec configuration
23:56:30Milardook
23:57:12Mihaildistorted in analog (clipping) or digital (skips)?
23:57:28Milardowell this is good news to hear, from last year it didn't seem a build was viable
