00:08:32__builtinwait a second... can I move SDL to plugins/lib?
00:08:57__builtinshouldn't it only be included in the generated .rock when it's referenced from some other code?
00:10:16__builtinof course I'd need to support multi-file libraries, but that's another matter

00:11:49sohakes_Hey guys! I have a Sansa Clip Zip with Rockbox that I didn't use for a long time. I was wondering now if I could use it as an USB dac, but only found some old forum topics about it (it was not implemented at the time)
00:12:12sohakes_Does anyone know if it's possible now with the latest git builds? I don't really know how to find the feature
00:12:19 Join gluytium [0] (U2FsdGVkX1@ma.sdf.org)
00:12:38__builtinsohakes_: not as far as I know
00:13:10foo|shI think there is a gerrit patch some where, I know there is a Flyspray patch
00:13:10sohakes_That's sad, but thanks __builtin
00:13:31*__builtin isn't sure how usable the patch is though
00:13:39foo|shyeah
00:14:00sohakes_I found this, but apparently it's not working https://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/11108
00:14:03sohakes_didn't test it, though

00:14:06fs-bluebotGerrit review #1009 at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/1009 : Add USB Audio 1.0 support (EXPERIMENTAL) by Amaury Pouly
00:14:28foo|shthats the one __builtin
00:14:56__builtinjudging from the commit message it sounds like it at least works, but only in some cases
00:16:06__builtinsohakes_: what device do you have?
00:16:12__builtinoh never mind...
00:16:25sohakes_it doesn't look like it works on sansa clip zip judging by the list, but maybe it's non exhaustive?
00:17:07foo|shthe idea's been stale for years so it might
00:17:18__builtinno, it doesn't support the designware driver
00:17:28__builtinthough wait a second
00:17:51__builtinyou *might* be able to piece together g#1362 and that patch
00:17:53fs-bluebotGerrit review #1362 at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/1362 : usb-designware: implement blocking receive by Cástor Muñoz
00:18:11foo|shalone with linux's usb-gadget sources
00:18:23foo|shalong*
00:19:04sohakes_hmm, what does this last commit does?
00:19:15__builtinit implements a function that g#1009 relies on
00:19:16fs-bluebotGerrit review #1009 at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/1009 : Add USB Audio 1.0 support (EXPERIMENTAL) by Amaury Pouly
00:19:23__builtinso in theory it might work
00:19:41__builtinif you want to try it, I'd suggest getting a development environment set up if you haven't already
00:19:57sohakes_haha ok, well, I have no idea how rockbox works, but at least I'm on vacation, so I will try
00:20:20__builtinwhat operating system are you running?
00:20:29sohakes_linux
00:20:38sohakes_arch linux, specifically
00:20:39__builtin\o/ awesome!
00:21:14foo|shhow do you guys not break arch everytime you look at it? I can't
00:21:27__builtinyou can start by grabbing the sources as described here: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/UsingGit
00:21:39sohakes_Yay, thanks!
00:22:15__builtinafter that you'll need to apply the two patches mentioned above, and hope it builds
00:22:15sohakes_Oh, I do break, and then I get help here on IRC. But sometimes I think I'm too noob to use this haha
00:22:24sohakes_ohh, sounds easy
00:22:38sohakes_Although I think there will be conflicts with the newest codes?
00:23:14__builtinyou /can/ just checkout g#1009 so you'll have exactly what the author had when he committed it
00:23:15fs-bluebotGerrit review #1009 at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/1009 : Add USB Audio 1.0 support (EXPERIMENTAL) by Amaury Pouly
00:23:23__builtinbut you'll be missing the newest features added after that point
00:23:49__builtinthen you should be able to cherry-pick g#1362 onto that branch and it will hopefully work
00:23:51fs-bluebotGerrit review #1362 at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/1362 : usb-designware: implement blocking receive by Cástor Muñoz
00:24:09sohakes_I guess it's fine, at least for a start. If I make it work I will try to get to the latest
00:24:17sohakes_Thanks!
00:25:09__builtinafter you've got the source tree cloned, set up your environment as described here: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/DevelopmentGuide
00:26:16sohakes_Alright :D
00:34:51dyshmm, rockbox boots fine with this microsd->compactflash adapter in my iriver H120 when I use bootloader USB mode on powerup. When trying to boot it without this indirection on powerup, it dies with ata error -11
00:34:59dysdoes that mean the set_features command failed?
00:35:18dysI'm still not sure where exactly this error comes from

01:00:40prof_wolfffpamaury, lebellium: I just take a quick look at "MFi Accessory Firmware Specification R42", it says that the current ipod6g OF does not support "USB Host Mode" but it support "Digital Audio" lingo
01:01:20prof_wolfffthe "Digital Audio" lingo seems to use a few iAP commands (either USB or UART transport), mainly authentication and set sample rate, after that it seems it use standard USB audio, an excerpt:
01:01:48prof_wolfff"Digital audio on Apple devices supports USB audio 1.0, with the addition that it will transfer digital audio on a High-Speed USB 2.0 bus as well as on a Full-Speed USB 1.1 bus. During transport, the accessory is the USB host, the Apple device is the USB device, and PCM data is synchronized with the 1ms USB start-of-frame (SOF) packets. More information about USB and its standards is available at http://www.usb.org"
01:02:29prof_wolfffso it seems that probably using a future RB USB audio driver and not much effort we can support some iAP Digital Audio accessories
01:07:17Bilgusdoo any of our boot loaders even support RTL languages prior to the firmware loading?
01:07:21Bilgusdo*
01:10:51__builtinI don't believe so, but this isn't my area of expertise
01:11:16__builtinthey don't seem to even support other languages in general
01:13:57Bilgusyeah there is 10+ kb of unicode support code in the boot loader
01:14:21dysI wonder what that usb bridge says to the sd-adapter to make it work with rockbox
01:19:06dysmaybe it's some timing issue?
01:19:13*dys adds random sleep statements to ata.c
01:20:19__builtinBilgus: that seems rather odd
01:25:31Bilguseh its before compression so more like 5 kb
01:26:26dys\o/
01:26:37dysja, looks like that adapter needs some time to boot after reset
01:26:40dyshttp://paste.debian.net/913630/
01:27:39dysi have no idea yet which one of the sleep statements did the trick though
01:29:42 Quit alexweissman (Remote host closed the connection)
01:29:45dysmaybe it's worth finding out and getting into ata.c?
01:30:41dysI mean the bridge chip has a more robust timing than rockbox here… And I gather lots of other people have the idea of trying a sd->cf adapter in their old players as well

01:36:59foo|shhey __builtin: I'm looking at the puzzles.make and I think "# todo: figure out how to do this with wildcards" can be helped by looking at my repo https://github.com/foolsh/The-Big-Bad-Universial-Makefile/blob/master/Makefile

03:44:08sohakesI'm still trying to make my sansa clip zip work as a dac. To be fair I could only make it compile some time ago (with the virtual box)
03:44:42sohakesAnyway, here http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/1009/ it says I should have found an USB Audio option in the debug menu, but I didn't find anything :(. Do I need to enable something?
03:45:29sohakesIt looks like the option is here http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/1009/1/apps/debug_menu.c but I don't really understand these constants, maybe I should compile with some flag?

04:29:13sohakesI think so, __builtin, at least the added files are there, but maybe I did something wrong while compiling or something
04:29:56__builtindid you install the build after compiling (copy to player)?
04:30:51sohakesYeah, I also did that. Just copied the .rockbox folder in the zip to the root, right?

04:31:21sohakesalso, the build version matches the one inside the build folder (rbversion.h)
04:31:30sohakes(but maybe it's always the same?)
04:31:40__builtinit shouldn't be
04:32:00sohakesso yeah, it's the new build
04:32:10__builtinohh wait, you need to define USB_ENABLE_AUDIO somewhere I think
04:32:17sohakesthere is an #ifdef HAVE_USBSTACK in the code
04:32:25__builtinthat should be defined for your target

12:18:46dysI'm confident I get my own code (debug stub or something) running on the blackfin this weekend
12:20:40wodzdys: Is there device usb hardware available on this SoC or all usb communication is through cypress chip?
12:21:09dyswodz: there are two usb connecters on this thing, one wired to the blackfin, another to the SoC
12:21:33dysI think the Cypress SoC makes the standard USB audio device, the blackfin the apple proprietary stuff
12:22:19wodzdys: Ok, then you could try to port hwstub https://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=tree;f=utils/hwstub/stub;h=c77ab735483d2f554409f795ab62be52482c521a;hb=HEAD
12:22:52wodzdys: Usb driver uses only ep0 which makes it relatively easy to write driver.
12:23:43dyswodz: I thought about putting my toy forth on there -> https://github.com/anse1/stubforth/wiki
12:24:17dyslots of experience getting it to run on anything that has 16kB memory or more
12:24:28wodzdys: With hwstub running you get pretty powerfull lua shell
12:24:53dysa forth interpreter you can talk to is powerful as well :-)
12:25:12dysyou save the roundtrip time over the tether by interactively defining new forth words
12:25:44dysso ad-hoc poking around in MMIO registers is pretty comfortable there too
12:27:01wodzdys: Well, I wouldn't call forth comfortable language by current standards. Anyway its your toy, your choice
12:27:23dysexactly, I want to brick it my way :-)
12:27:44dyswodz: thanks for the pointer

14:00
14:00:13prof_wolfffwodz: really i have no much idea about nano2g, never seen these errors on my nano, maybe you can try to format it using Apple disk mode, or maybe zeroing it in a first place (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX) using apple disk mode and then reformat it

14:09:45wodzprof_wolfff: Thats what I did exactly
14:09:52prof_wolfffoh!

18:14:46 Quit petur (Remote host closed the connection)
18:14:47lebelliumThe firmware/UI is terrible
18:15:04lebelliumIt looks like all those Chinese things
18:16:54lebelliumI don't own any Fiio but it's supposed to be similar. To me it just looks like no-name player
18:25:01wodzwell, quality it is above average cheap chinese daps
18:26:20lebelliumThe body is nice. But that screen... terrible viewing angles
18:26:51lebelliumI don't expect black to get blue or grey when moving it 5° up or down
18:27:00wodzits not photo frame
18:27:22lebelliumThat's not a reason
18:27:36lebelliumI'm sure a decent 1,8" screen doesn't cost that much
18:28:17lebelliumI'm even sure you could find a decent 176x220 one instead of this crappy 128x160 one
18:28:42lebelliumWe're in 2017
18:28:53wodzI agree that screen is poor quality but I don't have high expectations from daps screen really
18:29:58lebelliumI'm also very suspicious about the Gapless setting
18:30:11lebelliumwhen there is such a setting, that usually means poor implementation
18:31:39dyslebellium: they could have done worse

18:51:08lebelliumbut it was released some time ago now
18:55:14lebelliumThe Rocker doesn't have this refresh rate issue

20:08:10Bilgusdoes it actually have a metal case as well?
20:08:37Bilgusand more important how is the sound + batt life?
20:09:06lebelliumyes, metal case, I was surprised about how heavy it feels
20:09:27BilgusI see it has a screen protector on there as well glass or plastic screen under that?

20:11:49Bilgusas long as it doesn't go snap crackle pop I'm generally good
20:12:03Bilgus10 -15 hrs is just prefect imo
20:12:20lebelliumit has quite power with high gain setting
20:12:44lebelliumFor sure it's not as powerful as an external amp but quite good
20:13:29Bilgusdo the buttons seem pretty solid and does it have a hold switch?
20:15:54lebelliumButtons seem to be solid but they are quite noisy like on Clip+. No hold switch. When you press power, displays turns off as well as buttons excep the volume ones

20:17:48DablessHi ! RockBox forum is down and im looking for some help : it's written on my ipod : No partition found. I formated the partition in Fat32 but it did not change anything
20:18:37Bilgusprobabl install isn't done you need .rockbox/rockbox.fw
20:19:46DablessI was using it for the past month
20:19:49Dablessinstall was allright
20:19:52lebelliumBilgus: can't tell
20:20:32Bilgushmm thanks lebellium
20:22:04lebelliumBilgus: volume buttons are very steady, which is not the case of the power button. They look exactly the same though.
20:24:39gevaertsDabless: does the fact that you formatted the partition mean it was not FAT32 before?
20:24:47DablessIt was
20:25:10Dablessbut when I was plugging it in in windows it was telling me "the disk need to be formated"
20:25:17DablessI wanted to add song so I formated
20:25:34Dablessin ntfs, it did that, then I reformated in fat32
20:25:37Dablessand it's the same
20:28:59Bilgusso was the device working prior to formatting it?
20:30:01Dablessbefore the first windows format, yes

22:35:56YstIs it just me, or is the entire Rockbox wiki (as well as some other parts of the website) on 403 lockdown?
22:37:17Bilgusthe wiki is fine for me themes site too have a specifuic link?
22:37:40__builtinshould be a quick fix
22:38:39YstBilgus: A specific link? <https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/WebHome> does it, as does any other link I try beginning with <https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/>.
22:39:11Bilgusworks fine
22:39:47YstHmm. Strange. It's been doing that today and yesterday for me.
22:40:12Bilgusclear your cache
22:41:55__builtinworks for me too
22:42:07YstBilgus: Cache cleared, page reloaded, still returns a 403 error.
22:42:15__builtinhum
22:42:52YstAh, I found the trouble. It's stupidly performing User-Agent header sniffing.
22:43:15YstSetting a fake User-Agent header works around the bug.
22:43:20__builtinwhat was it set to?
22:44:37YstSetting it to "W3C standards are important. Stop fucking obsessing over user-agent already." makes it work. If you mean before that, it wasn't set.
22:47:28__builtinwhat the heck is this build system doing?
22:55:52YstHmm. It looks like Rockbox doesn't support ext4, according to the wiki. FAT only.
22:56:28YstOh, well. I'll keep trying to debug my current player then instead of getting a Rockbox.
22:58:02lebelliumYst: https://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=commit;h=d052f13 pamaury recently did that but I assume it's only for NWZ
22:58:42dysYst: most of the pain goes away for me when using fuse-posixovl on the mounted fat
22:58:58dysYst: But I concur, there should be ext2 support at least

23:04:02__builtinfoo|sh, trying to rewrite the puzzles makefile with a pattern rule will probably make it more complicated than before :(
23:05:55Ystdys: I need decent character support and case sensitivity. Does the lack of those go away with fuse-posixovl?
23:06:12YstFAT is also prone to breaking, but I guess that that's not a deal breaker.
23:06:53Yst<https://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git%3Ba=commit%3Bh=d052f13> is a 404 page.
23:07:34dysYst: utf-8 mostly works on FAT. The characters that break are things explicitly forbidden by the spec, i.e. the colon character
23:08:09Ystdys: One common character that I use is a question mark, but that's forbidden in FAT.
23:08:14dyssince using fuse-posixovl, I now have %(3A) instead of a colon on filenames instead of these tracks missing completely
23:08:16YstI use colons too.
23:08:39YstOkay, that could work.
23:09:00dysI just use rsync on the card mounted via fuse-posixovl and can be sure now that no files went missing
23:09:17__builtinfoo|sh: hmm, never mind
23:09:25YstDoes basic drag-and-drop work too?
23:09:28__builtinit's actually a relatively easy fix :)
23:09:48dysI think a patch to make rockbox interpret these posix-overlay characters is easier to get upstream than ext2 support
23:10:14dysYst: Yes, you could any gui tool on the posixovl-mount and it will work
23:10:21dyss/any/use any/
23:10:30YstWell, the former's not on the "won't do" list, so it sounds like it'd be easier to get upstream.
23:11:16Ystdys: Alright, thanks! I'll keep Rockbox in my list of options then. I'm still not fully decided as to what to do.
23:11:35YstI hate to give up on my current solution, my mobile, but it's always causing me problems.
23:12:10dysYst: I'd recommend taking a closer look. I used an Iriver H120 with rockbox on it between 2006-2014
23:12:43fs-bluebotBuild Server message: New build round started. Revision f483a07, 255 builds, 18 clients.
23:12:48dysthen I tried listening to music on a smartphone like normal people do, but the free software players available are all a step down from rockbox
23:13:32dysI modded my H120 yesterday to take a 128GB sd card instead of the internal 20GB harddisk and using it again now
23:14:14dysI think the "written by users" really shines with rockbox
23:14:39Ystdys: The mobile also allows me to take notes though, receive/send email, set an alarm clock, et cetera. Music quality will be higher, but utility will be lower.
23:15:04YstRockbox does have more users to shape it than Replicant ....
23:15:12YstThat would make for higher quality.
23:16:14YstI guess I have to decide if giving up the hassle is worth giving up things such as the camera.
23:17:56dyswell, I still carry a phone besides the iriver H120, but I'm no longer getting annoyed by lack of gapless playback, inefficient track selection methods or bugs
23:18:56YstIf I go with a Rockbox, it will be to escape my mobile, but supplement it.
23:19:12YstTHis thing drives me nuts often times.
23:19:55dysI see. There are plugins that'll let you take notes, but I'm afraid the input methods are quite bad compared to the phone.
23:20:12__builtinif you know morse code it's not that bad ;)
23:20:16dysTaking voice recordings would work really well though with hardware that has a mic :-)
23:20:31dys__builtin: I actually learned morse code on the iriver :-)

23:21:08YstVoice recordings won't do what I need unless transcribed. I doubt that any Rockbox-supported harware has a camera, either.
23:21:45__builtinI *think* one of the nascent ipod nanos has one
23:21:47YstYour name looks so familiar, __builtin. Do you mind my asking what language that is?
23:22:00dysC
23:22:13__builtinit's a prefix in C for intrinsic functions
23:22:28YstC. Huh. I don't know C, I wonder why it looks so familiar then.
23:22:50__builtinYst: I think it's the nano4g that has the camera
23:23:30YstAlright, I'll look into the nano4g. Thank you!
23:23:52__builtindon't quote me on that though, I'm not sure
23:25:00__builtinhmm, it's the nano *5G* actually
23:25:21*Yst changes search query
23:25:44__builtinno rockbox support IIUC
23:25:56YstOh, darn.
