17:53:53pamaurylike why would you sign extend for an unsigned add?!
17:55:36wodzIt is out of my mind. addiu is described as add immediate unsigned (without overflow exception). But qemu and atj213x agree on what it actually does. Maybe it is a bug in assembler. Don't know.

17:58:20celaHad a problem when I installed Rockbox 3.14 on my Zenxfi-2, it would boot up but not read any files from micro-sd, I had been using an old version from 2013
17:59:08celaBisected the problem back to the code change mentioned
17:59:41pamaurycela: what do you mean "not read any files from micro-sd" ?
18:00
18:00:55celaCouldn't see any media file or fonts or make changes to the config.
18:01:20celaFrom the rockbox file browser
18:02:57celaProblem started with 1f4f736: imx233: add support for sd/mmc probing zenxfi2: add support for internal storage on the SD version
18:03:30pamauryhmmm, strange, I'll have a look at the commit, I don't remember if my SD based ZEN X-Fi2 still works, one of my zenxfi2 is broken
18:04:39celamy device is Zen X-fi2 model DVP-FL0015 is yours the same, if so you should see the same issue.

18:43:35dysi found an equalizer buried deep in android's settings dialog. does anyone happen to know if one can deep-link it for easier access?
18:43:39celaI am installing Rockbox on the microSd card, is that still a must for Zenxfi2
18:44:07celaor can Rockbox go on internal storage?
18:44:10pamaurycela: no, on devices with internal storage, this commands changes the behavior and runs rockbox from the internal storage
18:44:49pamauryalmog1006: we discussed that I think, the file format is not the one atj2127, just don't force it and let the tool figure it out for you
18:45:10pamaurycela: priori to that command, rockbox only supported the sdcard and thus would boot from it
18:45:32celaAhh I didn't know the wiki says "Warning, the internal storage is not working so you must install Rockbox on a microsd card !!" makes sense now thanks.
18:45:54pamaurycela: yeah that's not entirely accurate, it's only true for NAND based devices, sorry about that

19:14:43pamauryjhMikeS: I've having trouble with RDS on the fuze+. I don't know if the issue comes from the parser being too strict or the si470x driver/my code not doing the correct thing. Essentially the problem can be observed here: pamaury/4dd60ff56b5a7b294029e866493819a9">https://gist.github.com/pamaury/4dd60ff56b5a7b294029e866493819a9 the format is PS[X/Y]=CD where X is the segment indicated by the packet, Y is the segment expected by the parser (ps_segment), CD are the two characters

19:15:31pamauryAs you can see, each packet is either transmitted twice or three times on a raw (which sounds strange), or the driver is reading the same packet many times. Have you ever observed either behaviour when you worked on RDS?
19:17:15CH23_Bilgus: what exactly has been integrated in main, regarding multiboot? 1552, 1556, 1557, 1558, 1613?
19:17:16pamaury(note that the fuze+ uses the interrupt line of the tuner to detect when there is an event, I call si4700_rds_process() every time, but maybe it's wrongly triggered on non-RDS events)

20:52:48celaWell the ZEN X-Fi 2 is working ok only if .rockbox build is on both the internal storage and the microSD!
20:53:02celaBootloader appears to be launching Rockbox from the microSD and storing the config.cfg on the internal storage.
20:54:01celaIs it supposed to work that way for now? or will it need a bootloader update in the future?
20:55:49celaRe-installed the bootloader from the wiki, still only works correctly if .rockbox build is on both the internal storage and the microSD
20:57:28celaThis is using the latest unaltered 3.14 dev build for Zen X-Fi 2
20:57:56pamaurycela: the bootloader was not updated since that change
20:58:08pamauryso yeah it needs a bootloader update
20:59:45celaOk I'll use it this way until the update is posted, thanks
21:00
21:00:01pamauryI'll try to update the bootloader tonight

21:26:15pamaurynot really no :(
21:26:32wodzThe same is on actual device
21:45:52_BilgusCH23 only 1613 & 1556 are needed now
21:46:40pamaurywodz: arey
21:46:46pamauryare you sure it's related to te MMU?
21:49:13wodzpamaury: well the only changes between ok version and not ok version are: 1) crt0.S added mmu setup part 2) changes in linker script to accomodate VMA 3) change in function calculating PMA from VMA
21:56:30pamaurycould it be a problem with cache?
21:59:11wodzI'd expect cache problem ruin everything

22:45:26dandelsI'm trying to install rockbox on my zen mozaic and apparently the md5sum of the firmware I downloaded doesn't match that which is hardcoded in the source. The version that's hardcoded in the source appears to be for France only..?
22:46:35dandelsThe version I have is 1.06.01 as opposed to 1.06.01e, so I suppose I could just change the md5sum in the C source?

22:47:43pamaurydandels: let me have a look
22:47:59fire2199have there been some development on mp3 cd players like iriver's?
22:48:09pamauryI don't remember what the file format is, just changing the md5sum might not be enough
22:48:20pamauryfire2199: wodz is working on the iriver E150 I think
22:50:27dandelsWell, I changed the hash and mkzenboo returned Result 0. Don't know if that means it'll work, though.
22:50:28pamaurydandels: changing the md5sum should work, although ideally adding a new entry would be better, I am trying to download the upgrade to get the su,
22:50:42pamauryyes Result 0 means ok
22:51:49fire2199the iriver e150 does not seem to be a cd player
22:52:54pamauryfire2199: ah sorry, no there is no way will support a cd player, those are ancient
22:53:06fire2199mp3 cd players from iriver usually start with imp
22:53:09pamaurydandels: can you give the sum of the file? that way I can add it to the tool
22:54:03dandelspamaury: 8441402a8db9f92659b05f05c0abe8fb
22:54:13fire2199is there some material I can use to help hacking such devices?
22:54:44pamauryfire2199: the first step is to (partially) disassemble it to know what kind of cpu it has (if it has any programmable)
22:54:44fire2199the player I have has a well known dsp from TI
22:55:50pamaurywhat is the dsp chip part or name?

23:00:54dandelspamaury: thanks & no problem, will do.
23:05:37fire2199pamaury : TMS320C54xx
23:08:42pamauryfire2199: there seems to be plenty of ressource on that processor online, although it's not a very beefy processor, we certainly don't support it
23:10:27fire2199I know TI seems to have given all the necessary documentation to programme it.
23:11:06fire2199they have also given info about boot with this processor
23:12:09fire2199pamaury : what do you mean by "beefy"?
23:12:33fs-bluebotBuild Server message: Build round completed after 836 seconds.
23:12:34fs-bluebotBuild Server message: Revision 5a3b30d result: All green
23:15:41pamauryfire2199: it's only a 16-bit processor with a small amount of RAM I suspect
23:18:41fire2199yes it seems to be a 16-bit dsp, the RAM 128 K
23:19:50fire2199the player can read mp3 and wma and was boasted to be upgradable to read future formats
23:21:02fire2199i know one similar cd player from iriver, though I think it was superior to mine, was upgraded to read ogg file up to 256 Kbps.
23:21:14fire2199mine is not from iriver
23:24:07pamauryadding functionality to an existing firmware without the code will be almost mission impossible
23:24:27fire2199which code?
23:25:07fire2199the matter is to write an entire custom code.
23:25:25pamaurythat will be a huge task if you start from scratch
23:26:25 Quit michaelni (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
23:27:14fire2199isn't there any open code for similar product anywhere?
23:28:50pamauryTI has released a lot of documentation and code for it's TMS320 line, but I don't know what exactly
23:30:37pamaurythtis for example: http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdxdaisxdm
23:37:24fire2199yes
23:38:04fire2199I'm not sure whether it could be applied to mine which is tms320vc...

23:38:37fire2199the "v" is missing in the list of devices on that page
23:38:50pamauryyou said yours is TMS320C54xx
23:42:30fire2199that's a typo; it is "TMS320VC5416"
23:43:44pamauryI see, I've never heard of this line of processors
23:45:07fire2199i know it was used in cell phones in the 90's
23:48:25fire2199anyway i don't think things are very different from c to vc
23:49:30fire2199in the wikipedia page about the TMS320 they listed a tms320vc as a sub branch of the tms320c
23:50:49fire2199you said this will be a huge work, do you have an example of fully open code for a similar product of the same time period
23:50:52fire2199?
23:52:25pamaurynot really, rockbox is probably the closest thing to what you are looking for
23:53:06pamauryand we do have some code for the tms320dm320 but that's a vastly different chip, 32-bit and ARM based
