#rockbox log for 2017-10-16

00:03:14melissa_wodz where are the instructions for that?
00:03:35melissa_So why does the homepage list ipod classic 6G under unstable?
00:07:58wodzmelissa_: 'Unstable' in rockbox context means not everything is finished (like missing manual or simple install method). It doesn't correspond to how often player will crash.

05:26:09TheEaterOfSoulsDoes the as3525 do hardware mp3 decoding? I didn't see it listed in the features.

05:36:40_BilgusNo
05:46:44TheEaterOfSoulsHow come playing mp3s seems to take less battery life then? My understanding is that it's more complex to decode than flac.
05:47:02TheEaterOfSoulsThough I'm not very knowledgeable about audio codecs.
05:50:09***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
05:53:07_BilgusI'm not overly familar with the audio codecs but my guess would be it has been very optimized
05:55:02_Bilgushttps://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CodecPerformanceComparison
05:55:33_Bilgusthis shows that the flac codecs are way less processor intensive AFAICT
05:56:18_Bilgus**ON MOST PROCESSORS

06:02:39TheEaterOfSoulsHuh
06:03:33TheEaterOfSoulsI always thought battery life with mp3 was a bit better, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention.
06:05:13_BilgusIt is hard to say for sure really I mean there are other things to consider as well such as file size

06:05:53 Join TheSeven [0] (~quassel@rockbox/developer/TheSeven)
06:07:15_Bilgusfigure if the device had to buffer less on your mp3 for a comparable bitrate that would skew those results
06:08:01_Bilgusor if the whole thing fit in the buffer in one shot that would add up in power savings even more
06:10:53 Quit TheSeven (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
06:11:35TheEaterOfSoulsIdk, they're good sized files usually.
06:11:47TheEaterOfSoulsMy guess is just that my battery isn't holding as much charge anymore.
06:12:09TheEaterOfSoulsStill gets me +8 hours so I'm not complaining :D

06:49:49johnb4I see a new recovery FW.
06:50:33_Bilgusyeah firmware the clip+ thats 32mb is probably lost
06:52:00johnb4I will try the new recovery on the read-only player today after work (in 12h).
06:52:58_Bilgusone thing to be aware of is you have to wait for the init message to dissappear before you plug the USB (10s)

18:26:58pamauryBilgus: re auto slow: I'm surprised by the 20hours runtime, I thought the battery life was ~40h. Or is your batter old?
18:27:20pamauryanyway thanks for test. Now I guess I'd like to benchmark the HBUS clock change
18:27:24BilgusI didn't run it completely dead
18:27:31pamauryah I see
18:27:33Bilgusits running the hbus one now
18:28:04pamauryoh cool :)
18:28:27BilgusI figured 20 hours was a good enough sampling without running the darn thing for nearly a week
18:29:33pamauryyeah probably
18:29:59BilgusHmm looking at the log though it loos more like it would get 27 hours or so what are the 40 hrs based on?
18:31:48BilgusAh nm its starting at 93% battery since I can never catch the damn thing to turn it off when its done charging

19:22:18Bilguswhen the hbus one gets the same range as the others ill put it all up on mediafire
19:23:04pamaurybe sure to check it's actually the changing hbus (by looking at debug > HW info > clock)

21:09:12johnb2Bilgus: where should the log of the new recovery fw go?
21:09:33Bilgusit just displays to screen
21:09:42johnb2I am trying to write to the read-only clip+.
21:09:52BilgusI didn't want to risk writing to disk
21:10:02johnb2Nothing is shown. I had one panic with a stkov message.
21:10:35Bilgusthe panic is called if it can't find the drive at all
21:10:43johnb2I mean apart from the init screen after Rolo.
21:11:07Bilgusbut if no messages pop up then as far as the firmware is concerned the write happened
21:11:55Bilgusif you can get the panic back or the stack overflow could you tell me the messages?
21:12:02johnb2After reboot it still show the 170128 fw, i.e. loads from internal.
21:12:57Bilgusok so lets run this down a bit 1st you are writing the clppa_new.bin to the device with dd?
21:13:10johnb2yeah, I will give it a few more trials. Right now I see the Input/output error again while dumping, with just 16mb.
21:13:33Bilgusthe dump part what are you putting as count?
21:13:54johnb2bs=512 count=$((0xF000))
21:14:12johnb2I dded clip+4GB_Recovery_image32.bin
21:14:15Bilgusah you are still ulling 32 mb so let me calculate how much that needs to be
21:14:39Bilgusyou'll want to put the multiboot bl on there directly
21:14:55BilgusIIRC its clppa_new.bin
21:15:20johnb2The one from the forum post or the 16MB no internal?
21:15:35johnb2MultBoot forum post
21:15:36Bilgusfrom the forum under unsupported builds
21:15:48johnb2got it.
21:15:51Bilgusthe one with no internal was for your clip+ with ATA error
21:16:05Bilguslet me calc count brb
21:16:08johnb2I got the panic again. About to pastebin
21:18:35johnb2https://pastebin.com/a7xrmKFs
21:20:22Bilguscount you'll want 0x7800
21:21:20johnb2for the clppa_new.bin one, right?
21:22:33johnb2!fd
21:23:08*johnb2 not having focus follows mouse ...
21:23:24Bilgusmake count 0x8000 to be safe
21:23:53Bilguswell not when you put it on the device but when you use dd to pull it off
21:24:07johnb2of course.
21:24:23Bilguswhen if=clppa_new.bin the count will be determined by file size
21:27:18johnb2well, the md5 don't match, but as the file sizes of clppa_new.bin and download.bin are different that is expected.
21:27:22Bilgushuh the stack overflow is happening in cpu_boost not sure what that would mean
21:27:37Bilguswhat are the file sizes

22:26:14[Saint]I don't need to go fishing across several related tasks?
22:26:44[Saint]Sorry for the questions, I had built it a while ago but a lot has changed since then and I'm in entirely different architecture now.
22:27:53pamaury[Saint]: it's all committed

22:28:19[Saint]Oh, I see. Excellent.
22:28:31[Saint]That's great news. Sorry I'm sorry behind the times.
22:28:34pamauryjust fire rockboxdev.sh from git and select the linux arm rockbox
22:29:00[Saint]I suppose I'll need to edit the "Linux Simple Guide" then to reflect this.
22:29:04[Saint]Thank you.
22:29:59[Saint]pamaury: Incidentally, is there any trivial way of building the legacy toolchain with the current source?
22:30:26[Saint]Or would I just take the easy route and checkout a commit prior to this?
22:31:08pamaury[Saint]: you mean the ypr0 toolchain?

22:31:44pamauryI haven't deleted any toolchain from rockboxdev.sh, it can still build the ypr0 toolchain
22:31:54johnb2_Bilgus: the /dev disappeared after the first round: https://pastebin.com/hD32W3Ze
22:31:57pamaurybut I switched the ypr0 to the new toolchain so it's mostly irrelevant now
22:32:06johnb2I will restart the player and try again.
22:32:32johnb2It shows the same panic message again.
22:32:51[Saint]pamaury: right, yes. Good to know.

22:34:09_Bilgushmm ok let me try and disable the cpuboost not sure why its throwing up there
22:35:38[Saint]I want to finish something I started a long while back today so I'm just making sure I know what current pathways are.
22:36:41[Saint]I would like to finish my one-stop-shop-to-deploy-a-build-farm-client script.
22:37:24[Saint]Because I feel like there would be more available clients if end users didn't need to understand a singular thing about the build system and underlying mechanics.
22:37:47johnb2_Bilgus: this time it performed 2 rounds, then /dev disappeared.
22:37:57_Bilguslets put a delay in there
22:38:20 Join p3tur [0] (~petur@rockbox/developer/petur)
22:38:21pamauryseriously, the people who wrote the clip+ are morons
22:38:34[Saint]I feel like if they could just run a script that did everything from gathering source, to building the toolchains, and setting up a service to keep the build environment up more end users would be giving us their extra CPU cycles.
22:38:42pamaurythey created a class for usb standard requests, and then subclasses it for EVERY SINGLE request
22:38:50pamauryjust to implement a SINGLE callback
22:39:20[Saint]I would also like to make sure that it if they desire to do so that an end user can set resource caps so they're not negatively impacted.
22:39:24_Bilgusjohnb put sleep 10s after each dd
22:40:03[Saint]Though, it's questionable as to whether or not capping disk, CPU, and RAM usage would be wide here.
22:40:09johnb2ok
22:40:30_Bilgusalso johnb if you plug the usb before that init message disappears it will panic
22:40:59_BilgusI disabled the error messages in this next build to see if it helps its compiling now
22:41:02johnb2I always waited for the init to disappear.
22:42:58[Saint]Am I dreaming or being too idealistic perhaps?
22:43:26 Quit ZincAlloy (Quit: Leaving.)
22:43:35[Saint]If we put a reminder on the downloads page, and end users needed to do nothing but run a single script, do you think they would join our build farm?

22:44:21[Saint]I'm talking gathering source, building, and making sure there's a service running to keep the build client up. Handling literally everything.
22:44:39[Saint]Am I being too idealistic again? I suppose so.
22:45:41johnb2_Bilgus: the delay seems to help, it's now int the 5th round
22:45:52johnb2*in the
22:46:32_Bilguswell up that delay to like 30s I guess maybe we are just doing it before it can recover
22:46:50johnb2it is still running
22:46:59_Bilgushere is a fw with the error messages disabled http://www.mediafire.com/file/d4kz7za4z82d8oa/ClipplusRecv_TESTrockbox.sansa
22:47:04_Bilgusah ok cool
22:49:38_BilgusPamaury I'm amazed you can even do anything with that clip+ OF I looked at it for like 3 days and just gave up
22:51:56pamaury_Bilgus: I'm spent countless hours on it, I can tell you it's very hard work
22:52:24pamauryI have found dozens of classes, it's horrible
22:53:09[Saint]It's likely no exaggeration to say that in his time here pamaury has spent hundreds of not thousands of man hours in firmware reversal.
22:53:19_BilgusI was wondering if they had some kind of code obfuscater
22:53:21[Saint]wodz would also be right up there.
22:53:57pamauryWell it's unclear to me if they tried to obfuscate it, it sounds unlikely to me
22:54:11pamaurybecause I'm ready to bet that the original c++ code is essentially unreadable
22:54:21_Bilguslol
22:54:44pamaurytypical "lasagna" code where in doubt you throw another object at the problem
22:55:14pamaurythat plus dumb compiler that didn't devirtualize method calls
22:55:30[Saint]In their defense, lasagna is awesome.
22:55:41_Bilgusnot mondays though
22:55:47[Saint]Hah.
22:55:55pamaury[Saint]: only when there are at most 4 layers ;;)
22:56:44_BilgusI feel kinda like c++ just lends its self to spaghetti code though
22:57:28_Bilgusbut maybe i'm just OOP dumb
22:58:40pamauryyeah, you kind of get the worst of everything in OOP
22:59:31__builtin[Saint]: I don't see why that wouldn't be possible
22:59:49johnb2_Bilgus: 20 rounds with no success. I am going to loop 200 over night.
23:00
23:00:11__builtinThough dealing with different platforms would be a pain
23:00:29_Bilgusjohnb2 I don't know that it would help
23:00:55johnb2Tomorrow I would try and work on the one with the ATA error. What would be the count to be used to verify the "no internal image"? ?
23:01:06[Saint]__builtin: oh, sure, the *possible* part doesn't concern me.
23:01:11[Saint]I know the answer to that.
23:01:24[Saint]It's the *practical* part that worries me.
23:01:30_Bilgusuh hold on a second and ill open it up in a hex editor and see probably the same
23:02:18[Saint]__builtin: y'know what I'm saying, right?
23:02:33[Saint]It's all very well and good to build the thing, but, would anyone actually use it?
23:03:42__builtinAh yes, I see
23:04:01[Saint]Dealing with different platforms would indeed be an area of concern, but I'm not /too/ worried there.
23:04:25pamaury_Bilgus: from what I see, I think the ROM accepts three vendor defined requests, but I can't tell what they do at the moment
23:04:31[Saint]It's more "will clients actually use this, regardless of how easy anyone makes it for them to do so"?
23:04:42[Saint]I'm likely overthinking it.
23:04:54[Saint]It definitely couldn't *hurt* anyone.
23:05:09__builtinIt really depends on who our "users" are
23:05:46[Saint]Yes. For the better part of a decade we have had really no idea who our userbase actually is.
23:05:55_Bilgusjohnb2 the count is the same for both
23:06:08[Saint]I may do a survey on this and throw it out on the main page and the mailing lists.
23:06:30[Saint]Just to get an idea of the group(s) that comprise our userbase.
23:06:35__builtinmight be some sampling bias there
23:06:41__builtinespecially on the mailing list
23:06:45[Saint]Yes. Indeed.
23:06:45johnb2_Bilgus: thanks for your help today. Going to bed now.
23:06:52[Saint]It's troubling.
23:07:02_Bilgusthanks john good luck
23:07:12__builtinI mean, do we *need* to expand the build system that much?
23:07:12[Saint]It would indeed be somewhat of an echo chamber.
23:07:39[Saint]__builtin: eh...not really, but redundancy is always a good thing.
23:07:39 Quit johnb2 (Quit: Page closed)
23:07:48_Bilguspamaury I find it interesting that they have that functionality in the OF surely one does the badblocks ident
23:08:08[Saint]I don't want to get back into the situation we were in where only one client can build for any given architecture.
23:08:39[Saint]Everyone wants to build for arm...but the other architectures are overlooked.
23:09:08__builtinhmm, I have a second pi3 sitting idle now
23:09:12[Saint]There's never anything wrong with throwing more clients at a distributed build cluster, at least in my opinion.
23:09:32[Saint]It can only help.
23:09:40_Bilgusnow by distributed is it piecemeal or just roundrobin?
23:09:54[Saint]First last the post.
23:09:58[Saint]*past
23:10:00__builtincan a windows machine be a client?
23:10:02pamaury_Bilgus: I'd like to find out if the ROM sonehow has a "magic" access to the raw flash or some undocumented sd/flash command
23:10:08[Saint]Yes. It can.
23:10:34__builtinthrough mingw/cygwin or some other way?
23:10:43[Saint]Though it's non-trivial.
23:11:35__builtincould such a script automate the process?
23:11:37[Saint]You could do a number of routes. I imagine mingw would be preferable? I'm not too savvy with the windows layers.
23:11:49[Saint]Yes. It could.
23:12:02__builtinwell, in that case, I think it'd be worthwhile
23:12:14__builtineven a couple more clients would speed the builds greatly
23:12:16[Saint]I couldn't do it personally though. I'm just not experienced with Windows building.
23:12:28[Saint]And I don't have a single MS machine here.
23:12:59__builtinif it's limited to -nix it'd be pretty redundant, though
23:13:04_BilgusI think in the case of windows machines it might be better to have a VM that literally only does builds
23:13:32_Bilguslike to the point of no gui even
23:13:53[Saint]__builtin: eh, maybe...it's speculative but I think we still catch a lot of the young crowd who want to replace everything with "Linux"
23:14:34[Saint]You know the ones. They don't know why they want to run Linux or replace the firmware of everything they own, but it doesn't stop them.
23:15:30[Saint]As it is none of them are going to stumble upon our build system organically.
23:15:56[Saint]Hell, ideally I think it would be bloody neat to integrate this into Rockbox Utility.
23:15:59__builtinthat still seems redundant when we already have a linux client script
23:16:17[Saint]There's not a shitload of reasons to actually build the toolchains on the build ckient
23:16:31__builtinwhy not just improve that to automate some of the setup and promote it some more?
23:16:47[Saint]So that could just download the toolchains and then make sure they're in the path.
23:16:57[Saint]That reduces complexity by an order of magnitude.
23:17:27[Saint]The toolchains don't change enough to warrant each intended client building them themselves.
23:17:32[Saint]At least in my opinion.
23:18:24[Saint]You could always add the toolchains to the build targets, as well.
23:18:50 Join dys [0] (~dys@tmo-101-121.customers.d1-online.com)
23:19:05[Saint]But that would generate a lot of churn because as it is we build for everything regardless as to whether it has been changed or not.
23:19:37[Saint]Because it's actually really difficult to know in advance if any given change hits or misses any given target in advance.
23:19:52[Saint]But that's the nature of the source and layout. It is what it is.
23:20:02[Saint]Changing that is an absurd amount of work.
23:20:10__builtinyou could just modify the build client to automatically clone the repo and get the toolchains
23:20:24__builtinthen just link to it on the frontpage and from rbutil
23:20:45[Saint]Yes.
23:21:27[Saint]One thing I would really like to investigate at some point in the future is making our builds reproducible.
23:21:47[Saint]But that is also non-trivial with the way our project is laid out.
23:22:26[Saint]I think reproducible builds are awesome and something an open project should arrive for.
23:22:36[Saint]It's really fucking difficult though.
23:22:58[Saint]*strive for (phone autocorrect, sorry).
23:23:01__builtinI don't know what benefit that would provide though
23:23:38[Saint]Peace of mind, largely.
23:24:00__builtinso security
23:24:17[Saint]I think any open project should provide its end users the means to recreate the binaries they ship *exactly*.
23:24:44[Saint]It's moving slowly towards adoption in a few other projects, which is nice.
23:25:37__builtinI just don't see how it would be useful
23:26:03__builtinsure, it'd ensure that the builds aren't being tampered with, but why would someone want to tamper with them in the first place?
23:27:01__builtinthe devices we target are largely isolated from the outside world
23:27:07[Saint]It's not just that, you also know that absolutely everybody is on exactly the same page at any given point for debugging.
23:27:49[Saint]You know that version x of binary y didn't cause something to link weird in their build, yadda yadda...
