#rockbox log for 2017-03-05

00:08:24Bilguswodz: Action,Button,Prebutton; prebutton will be ignored if a match is found first on action,button,BUTTON_NONE; what ever calls the get_action function supplies its context which 'loads' the specified button context map but if an action is not found it will fall through to the next context map so for instance you are looking for BUTTON_UP|REPEAT,Button_UP and it is defined in std context as BUTTON_UP|REPEAT,BUTTON_NONE you will get returned
00:08:24BilgusACTION_STD_PREVREPEAT first and then ACTION_WPS_PLAY next
00:10:25Bilgusand if it still holds true you will continue to get ACTION_WPS_PLAY thereafter until there is no longer a repeat
00:14:50BilgusBUTTON_NONE just ignores the prebutton you will get a code on every repeat ->> { ACTION_WPS_VOLDOWN, BUTTON_VOL_DOWN|BUTTON_REPEAT, BUTTON_NONE },

00:50:28*__builtin glances at the /topic
00:59:06__builtinAmboyna: keep in mind that the hardware might not support your desired frequency, however
01:00
01:11:31***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:13:04AmboynaMy source defaults to 11kHz. For morse code, which is basically OOK of a tone, that's plenty. I know if I were after 96kHz or something I might be in trouble, but is there likely to be anything that can't do less than 44.1?
01:13:20Amboyna__builtin: ^
01:27:31__builtinsome hardware only supports a certain set of frequencies
01:30:14__builtinfor example some only support 44, 22, 11, or 8 (mrobe500)
01:38:48AmboynaIf I can expect to reliably have 11, then I shouldn't have to worry. For myself, if I can get it working on Clip Zip, then I'll be happy for now.
01:39:59__builtinit looks to me like the zip supports everything
01:40:05__builtinso you should be good to go
01:40:12AmboynaIt looks like the original calculates two PCM samples (to get neat rise/fall times, one for dit an one for dah), then concatenates them as needed to produce the output.
01:40:36AmboynaWith spaces for between letters/words where appropriate.
01:40:46__builtinwhat are you working on?
01:41:13 Join MrZeus1 [0] (~MrZeus@5ec258b2.skybroadband.com)
01:41:35AmboynaTrying to convert https://fkurz.net/ham/ebook2cw.html to an RB plugin so I can adjust settings on the fly and not need to batch process what I want to listen to ahead of time.
01:41:57 Quit MrZeus (Ping timeout: 268 seconds)
01:42:34__builtinhmm, the plugin I'm working on will have essentially the same functionality
01:43:40 Join MrZeus [0] (~MrZeus@5ec06f08.skybroadband.com)
01:44:02AmboynaGreat. I've really never worked C, so I'm kind of reduced to trying to take existing code and hope to hack it into a horrible kluge that compiles and runs.
01:44:35 Quit cc_ (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
01:44:58__builtinI suppose that the way you're doing it now has the advantage of being easily seekable
01:45:13AmboynaFor me, it does need to support some degree of bookmarking and seeking, since I can't expect listen to the entire thing at once.
01:45:51 Quit MrZeus1 (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
01:46:02__builtinI can fix up what I have and push it to gerrit so you can see what I've got
01:46:06 Quit ZincAlloy (Quit: Leaving.)
01:47:08AmboynaNot quite proper, but I had in mind seeking/display position by taking the size of the file in bytes, and going to len(size)/10000 (.01%).
01:47:31AmboynaThanks. I'd like to take a look. Anything I don't have to attempt to write will be a big help.
01:47:51AmboynaThanks to ebook2cw being GPL2+ it's easy to add to RB on that score.
01:48:55__builtinI think it'd be a good idea to have your plugin produce a WAVE file
01:49:12__builtinthat way bookmarking and seeking are handled for you
01:50:51AmboynaTrue. Though on my computer it can take 5-10min to convert a file. That's a 3gHz processor.
01:51:12__builtinI'd bet that's mostly the MP3 encoding
01:53:00__builtinif you use WAV, it removes the issue of encoding speed, but it does significantly increase file size
01:53:47AmboynaCould be. The actual generation is approximately: take word; look up first char; if special, do special thing, else look up char in table, add dots/dashes to word out; output pcm for dot/dash/space to output; when word complete, add noise if desired; encode word.
01:54:34__builtinthat seems like it'd be very fast, even on an MP3 player
01:55:58AmboynaOutput file size isn't that big a deal if it doesn't take to long to convert a file. Though it would be ideal if bookmarking operated on the source text, rather than the finished audio version, since the former is fixed, while the latter varies, potentially hugely, with changing settings.
01:57:00__builtinI can actually adapt the code I have right now support outputting to a file
01:58:11AmboynaI'll definitely take a look.
01:58:58__builtingive me a few minutes
02:00
02:00:36__builtinbasically what I've got now is a core encoding loop that can output to different pluggable APIs
02:00:55__builtinone API might play the beeps immediately, while another could write them to a file
02:02:22AmboynaThat sounds much like what I need.
02:04:22AmboynaThe text viewer bookmarking code might be stolen for bookmarking/seeking and put together with your code and the ebook2cw generation loop if you've got the means to control generation to avoid overfilling the playback buffer for a mostly working implementation, in the other option.
02:14:08__builtinAmboyna: g#1573
02:14:10fs-bluebotGerrit review #1573 at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/1573 : morse code plugin by Franklin Wei
02:14:38__builtinthe file I/O stuff isn't done yet
02:17:09AmboynaI'm working on downloading things now.
02:19:56AmboynaBTW, one thing I notice right away looking at your code. At higher speeds, ms resolution is insufficient for accurate WPM speeds. The difference in dit length between 60 and 63wpm is still technically sub-ms.
02:20:14__builtinyou can copy at that speed?
02:20:48AmboynaNot yet. But the author of ebook2cw at least used to be able to read 100wpm.
02:23:35AmboynaHis code works dit length in raw samples, produces a dit buffer and dah buffer (containing raw PCM), and copies from those into the output as needed. If I'm not mistaken, this would get around the issue of RB's ms resolution limit.
02:23:36__builtinI suppose it could pass everything as microseconds
02:24:23__builtin1/1000000 of a second ought to be enough for anyone :P
02:24:30AmboynaMaybe, but we've got a very nice generation algorithm to steal. Is there any reason not to take it?
02:29:08__builtinhmm
02:30:23__builtinI don't see much of a benefit
02:30:50__builtinI can change the design of the API slightly to allow for more accuracy, though
02:32:14__builtinit can have two separate functions for dit and dah that can be as accurate as possible
02:32:20__builtinno millisecond/microsecond limit
02:34:37AmboynaOK. I think that works. I haven't tried playing with different rise/fall times to see how that affects the sound. Any errors from us resolution should be less than any fist, so I wouldn't be worried about that.
02:35:03__builtinit'll still be restricted to integer wpm values though
02:35:07AmboynaThe noise addition isn't something I've had reason to go for. I've got enough noise around me most of the time.
02:35:50*__builtin isn't exactly sure why someone want to *add* noise to their audio in the first place :P
02:35:51AmboynaEven ebook2cw uses an int for wpm. That's no issue.
02:36:05AmboynaTraining for listening to real on-the-air CW.
02:37:02__builtinwell, the quick solution then is to buy a sansa c200
02:37:10__builtinit's got plenty of noise
02:37:13AmboynaIf you can find one.
02:39:27AmboynaYou might want to steal his char maps, prosign code (I use this a lot), and even command code. Since I'm listening to books mostly I've had the thought of using frequency change to indicate italic/bold text.
02:39:48AmboynaI'll try to help, but by the time I've understood it enough to start making changes, you'll probably have the changes made.
02:40:20__builtinthat sounds like a bit too much to me
02:40:43AmboynaWhich? The commands, or the prosigns too?
02:40:48__builtinwell, both :P
02:41:05__builtinI'll be using it to mainly learn CW
02:41:27__builtinbut feel free to make some changes, I can help you if you need it, too
02:41:27AmboynaProsigns are pretty simple. When encountering a <, stop adding letter spaces until a >.
02:42:02AmboynaThanks. Having a working plugin to start from will help me a lot.
02:44:37AmboynaTake a look at his makeword function. That's got the prosign generation integrated into it.
02:45:16AmboynaTaking his char maps just save you the effort of fleshing out your own.
02:46:08__builtinI've already worked all mine out
02:48:04AmboynaI see numbers and capital? letters. To really learn CW, there's some common punctuation you need.
02:48:40AmboynaOops, I see the case folding to lowercase now. That works for that.

03:39:08Amboyna__builtin: Just tried your plugin as it is now. It seems exiting is broken on zip. At 25wpm, the dahs very nearly blend into whatever comes next. There's just barely enough space that it isn't quite a continuous tone, but not enough for me to register it as separate symbols.
03:39:21AmboynaI've got to get back to other things, but I'll keep thinking and playing.

19:15:09bfayers*that could happen during the process

19:16:11pamauryat least I don't know any case of bricking

19:24:36bfayersthen boot it up and go to usb bootloader mode
19:24:39bfayersthen format as fat32?
19:24:44bfayersthen just dump the .rockbox

20:38:08__builtinhmm, this is a bit of a problem
20:38:43__builtinduring the transition from a tone to silence, there's an audible click
20:39:52__builtinI suppose I'll need a fade-in and fade-out time
20:41:53AmboynaIs that perhaps what I was hearing as a not-really-there gap between mashed-together symbols?
20:43:07__builtinI fixed that issue
20:43:18AmboynaI think Fabian's code produces a nicer tone. But I'm not sure whether it relies on a bunch of headers that RB can't provide, or RB needs quotes rather than angle brackets to include.
20:43:27AmboynaI saw in the backlog.
20:43:51__builtinfor real-time output, RB's square wave will have to do
20:43:57__builtinbut for WAV output, it can do a sine wave
20:44:13__builtinI can push what I've got now so you can take a look
20:44:17AmboynaSure.
20:46:11AmboynaI tried copying the ebook2cw code into core.c to see what I would get (also tried running it directly, but I get some makefile errors I didn't manage to solve then). It gives me a bunch of errors about things like stderr and some math functions undefined.

20:48:36AmboynaGreat. I'll give it a try.
20:49:19__builtinit's extremely buggy, something to do with sampling rates I'll bet
20:49:55AmboynaThat's dev. I'll still play with it.

21:23:23Amboyna__builtin: Hmmm... guess the file I had lying around to test wav generation wasn't the best choice. Any idea how long it should take per kB of text on the zip? The file was only 7.7k.
21:23:33CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
21:23:33*Amboyna runs and hides
21:23:53__builtinprobably a while
21:24:10__builtinI'm not exactly sure, I've been testing in the simulator
21:24:42Amboyna7.7k is nothing compared so some of the things I might go for. I've got one that's 340k.
21:25:13AmboynaAnother reason to prefer having real-time playing with the morse generation acting as a TTS.
21:25:43__builtinthere's definitely room to optimize it though
21:25:48AmboynaThat way, there's no need to tie up the player to get a file.
21:27:43__builtinthe API isn't very efficient right now, it needs a function call for every dit and dah
21:27:55AmboynaDid you see Fabian's list of books listened to in CW?
21:28:43AmboynaProbably the ebook2cw method would save a lot, but then you need to move the audio buffer filling into the main loop, IIUC.
21:29:34Amboynaebook2cw just copies a variable for the dit or dah into the output.
21:30:04AmboynaSaid variable containing raw PCM.
21:30:27__builtinwell that's what this does
21:31:46AmboynaThough to be precise, his assembles a complete word as a variable in the main loop, and only then moves it to output and encodes it.
21:34:59AmboynaBTW, on the math function errors I got from the ebook2cw code, is the issue probably that the RB compiler doesn't have it, it needs quotes instead of angle brackets to #include, or the math header is called something else?
21:35:07zimjopamaury: I'm happy to do further testing when you have a new build
21:36:09__builtinit's probably not available for rockbox

22:44:34Bilgus_and I know that it was all together correctly as I verified with a magnifying glass and oscilloscope

22:46:47Bilgus_zimjo you are running Windows correct?
22:47:04zimjoyes
22:47:33pamauryzimjo: I changed the code so that it avoids putting the card to sleep and up again between transfers, but your logs shows some very unusual write times. It seems all right and suddenly a transfer takes half a second for no obvious reason
22:47:41Bilgus_have you tried doing a read write test on the sdcard through windows with a reader?
22:48:39Bilgus_http://crystalmark.info/download/index-e.html
22:48:53zimjoyes i did. sequential writes were at 15MB/s, random writes at approx 3MB/s. the OF achieved also about 3MB/s write speed
22:49:10Bilgus_next I wonder if your sdcard contacts are dirty in the player
22:49:30Bilgus_well you said OF did fine though
22:50:33zimjoon the card contacts are fine, don't know about the sd card insert. any suggestions on cleaning them without taking the fuze apart?
22:51:07pamaurysomething else must be wrong if the OF manages to write the card fine
22:51:45Bilgus_weird I haven't seen any issues with my Fuze+ I even ran the test fw he sent you and got far lower numbers
22:52:07zimjocould it be that the OF simply waits longer before declaring a timeout? or is that only USB host dependent?
22:52:29Bilgus_take a piece of fine sandpaper and cut it as wide as the front of the sdcards fold in half and stick in a few times

22:53:21Bilgus_but if OF works fine I don't see that being an issue
22:53:59zimjodo any of you know a method to measure these timings with the OF or an USB reader?
22:55:49pamauryzimjo: the thing is that from the point of view of rockbox, there is no timeout, all writes succeed apparently. It's windows that times-out I think
22:55:54Bilgus_maybe brb
22:56:07pamaurybut in any case, 0.5 seconds to write 128 sectors in NOT normal

23:01:07zimjoso after another reboot of RB playback of opus is laggy again. in the statusbar, the icon in the top right is constantly showing. this is disc access, isn't it?
23:01:31pamauryyes
23:01:52pamaurywell if transfers are that slow that could explain why opus is laggy

23:09:10Bilgus_@zimjo
23:11:00Bilgus_hmm with a 25mb file I saw some higher times
23:11:54***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:13:07Bilgus_http://pastebin.com/kKwTuDhV
23:13:08zimjojust managed to cause a panic (due to crc mismatch) by trying to play back a flac that was copied from the internal to external memory using RB. does rockbox automatically generate related debug info on a panic? couldn't find any
23:13:23Bilgus_ill try that newest fw
23:13:56pamauryzimjo: hat was the panic message exactly ?
23:14:12zimjobilgus: what version of the fuze+ do you have? mine is 4gb
23:14:16pamauryno, panic is last resort, when there is nothing else to do
23:15:21zimjoi'll try that checkflash tool another day, about time to call it a night for me
23:16:37zimjopamaury: buflib error ... would the exact adresses be helpful too?
23:16:54pamauryno
23:17:26pamaurythat must be an unrelated bug. buflib is rockbox's equivalent of malloc. a crc error means that some memory was corrupted

23:21:37zimjotrying to play that file so far always lead to a panic. must be a huge coincidence if these two issues really are unrelated
23:23:08pamauryzimjo: I mean it's not related to sdcard I think, must be a bug in the opus code or buffering code or whatever
23:24:13pamauryzimjo: can you upload the file somewhere ?
23:24:58zimjomaybe another time, i do have to call it a night for today. anyways, i hope we do get to the root of the problem. thanks for the support so far guys.
23:25:11 Quit zimjo (Quit: Page closed)
23:33:30Bilgus_http://pastebin.com/n9FQuEE1 with the latest fw
23:35:45Bilgus_pamaury I see pretty similar numbers to his
23:37:26 Quit MrZeus (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
23:38:06pamauryBilgus_: except you don't have the periodic super huge values he sees
23:38:57pamauryhe posted other logs previously and after a while, many transfers take >500ms
23:39:41pamaurybut it could also be a problem with windows/rb usbstack, I don't know
