| 00:03:44 | speachy | Stanley00: what's crashing, exactly? The x1000e is supposed to be a mips32r2 core, and none of the other x1000 targets seem to crash with it. |
| 00:04:14 | Stanley00 | really, it's got SIGKILL, cannot run on my m5 |
| 00:04:24 | speachy | or is the m5 not an x1000? |
| 00:04:30 | Stanley00 | but when I replace it with just mips32, it work fine |
| 00:04:41 | Stanley00 | m5 is also x1000e as in spec |
| 00:04:42 | speachy | "it" meaning the rb binary? |
| 00:04:47 | Stanley00 | yup |
| 00:05:08 | Stanley00 | let me check a gain, I did some modified recently, I might have mess it up |
| 00:05:10 | Stanley00 | one sec |
| 00:07:28 | speachy | I mean, it's certainly possible fiio did something really funky with the m5 |
| 00:07:42 | _bilgus__ | Stanley nuke your staging dirs |
| 00:08:28 | speachy | efqw: incidently, mainline just gained X2000-series support |
| 00:08:58 | speachy | or rather, it's about to. |
| 00:09:48 | speachy | the rest of the ingenic code got reorged too, unified with the generic mips code |
| 00:11:15 | speachy | efqw: I swear, the more you dig into the m3k the more I want to nuke it from orbit. trying to "fix" anything in that hacky mess seems like a complete waste of effort. |
| 00:11:24 | Stanley00 | nvm, it's my bad with the config |
| 00:11:31 | Stanley00 | mips32r2 work fined |
| 00:11:40 | Stanley00 | *well |
| 00:12:31 | efqw | Our current roadblocks for mainline support on the x1000 are: SFC, SLCD, The I2S stuff, and the PMU (AXP192). |
| 00:12:52 | efqw | Yeah, it's like an onion, the more you peel it the harder you cry. |
| 00:13:27 | efqw | This is by far the hackiest device I've ever seen. |
| 00:14:23 | speachy | efqw: as far as shutting down is concerned, I really don't like the idea of issuing that ioctl from within rockbox; I assume it would effectively kill the sytem as-is, with things mounted and stuff possibly not flushed to disk properly |
| 00:14:37 | efqw | bingo |
| 00:14:45 | efqw | This is exactly what it does. |
| 00:19:22 | | Quit Stanley00 (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) |
| 00:21:09 | speachy | I doubt the i2s would be more than a tweak of the existing 4770 driver. ditto the axp192 (vs the other axp series) |
| 00:21:42 | speachy | anyway. |
| 00:23:33 | speachy | _bilgus__: no change in thumb settings was part of this. I think by default thumb is not used unless necessary for the processor. |
| 00:24:18 | speachy | I don't know if GCC is smart enough to automatically choose thumb or not on a per-function basis |
| 00:25:11 | speachy | it makes code smaller, and usually (slightly) slower |
| 00:25:21 | _bilgus__ | there are some pragmas IIRC |
| 00:25:43 | _bilgus__ | but automagic NTIKO |

| 00:27:16 | _bilgus__ | I wasn't suggesting enabling it any further than we already did I was just mentioning it as one of the hidden settings |
| 00:27:44 | speachy | I think the way it's implemented (via that python wrapper) is seriously janky |
| 00:27:50 | _bilgus__ | amognst others that aren forthcoming from my head |
| 00:28:19 | _bilgus__ | dude that whole system is janky wait till you see my lua wrappers :p |
| 00:28:46 | speachy | I mean, if we want thumb, why not just turn on -mthumb -mthumb-interwork in the global CFLAGS and be done with it? :) |
| 00:29:34 | speachy | well, it will automatically retry compiling that specific file without -mthumb if it fails with it. |
| 00:30:40 | speachy | probably worth a try to see how bad the fallout is. |
| 00:30:56 | _bilgus__ | yeah no clue I try to stay away from the dark places until I really have to |
| 00:31:27 | * | speachy looks at the lcd rewrite _bilgus__ is cooking and seriously questions his last statement |

| 00:32:47 | speachy | anywhere overriding our warning flags is automatically suspect |
| 00:32:53 | _bilgus__ | I get about half way into the hand optimized assembler and then start questioning if its worth it |
| 00:33:34 | speachy | well, it's either that or finish hacking FP awareness into our threading/scheduler. :D |
| 00:34:40 | speachy | which reminds me, I also need to revisit our threading on hosted and SDL. |
| 00:35:16 | speachy | and on that note. I"m done for today. |
| 00:35:45 | speachy | if you don't mind, please give the latest rocker bootloader a whirl (installable via rbutil, or a pre-patched one is on d.r.o too) |
| 00:36:12 | _bilgus__ | same link as earlier? |
| 00:39:21 | speachy | yeah. crap. forgot to update the checksum file. |
| 00:39:26 | speachy | don't think rbutil cares though |
| 00:40:00 | speachy | in hwinfo debug it'll report the BL build now too |

| 09:14:34 | lebellium | speachy: but you removed the system files browser :) |
| 09:15:10 | lebellium | I have to revert back to an older build then |
| 09:15:13 | speachy | and the sim builds... they potentially change every commit. we rebuild them all on the farm, but only linux. |
| 09:15:58 | speachy | we don't even keep the binaries, just make sure they build. |
| 09:26:19 | lebellium | under \dev I have gadget, pts, shm, snd and v41 |
| 09:26:43 | lebellium | otherwise I have mnt\media0, media1 and mmc but I already told you that |
| 09:28:11 | speachy | Stanley00: so the m5 appears to be more akin to the hiby players |
| 09:28:40 | speachy | lebellium: there's no block devices under /dev? that's odd |
| 09:28:45 | Stanley00 | yeah, kind of missing between m3k and hiby |
| 09:30:04 | speachy | Stanley00: you can probaby use usb-hiby.c directly instead of patching fiio-usb.c |
| 09:30:25 | lebellium | speachy: well, I just changed the file browser settings to display hidden files. I have dev\mmcblk0, mmcblk0p1, mmcblk1, mmcblk1p1 |
| 09:30:29 | Stanley00 | thanks, let me check that |
| 09:30:58 | speachy | ditto on the bootloader; should be able to add a few #ifdefs to rocker_linux.c |
| 09:32:08 | speachy | lebellium, two mmc devices, huh. I wonder if blk0 is the internal storage? |
| 09:32:29 | lebellium | how can I tell? |
| 09:32:30 | speachy | do you have the ability to get a shell on it? |
| 09:32:40 | lebellium | I don't know what a shell is :) |
| 09:32:46 | speachy | eject the sd card and see if any of those go away |
| 09:33:34 | lebellium | I still see the same files after ejecting the sd |
| 09:33:43 | lebellium | I'll reboot the device to be sure |
| 09:34:25 | lebellium | I confirm, still the same files |
| 09:35:25 | Stanley00 | speachy: oh, I see, so we just prefer to reuse the file with #ifdef instead of seperated for each platform then? |
| 09:35:39 | speachy | Stanley00: when the only code change is a few #defines, absolutely |
| 09:35:55 | speachy | these things are basically all built on the same "platform" |
| 09:36:26 | Stanley00 | agree, I just didn't how much should I change back then, let me try another patch then |
| 09:38:10 | speachy | lebellium: another place to look is /sys/block/ |
| 09:39:42 | lebellium | sys/block/mmcblk0 when the card is inserted. no file when ejected |
| 09:39:56 | speachy | awesome, thank you. |
| 09:40:12 | speachy | any chance you could do the same on the sony? |
| 09:40:31 | lebellium | will also have to revert back to an older build, thank you :) |
| 09:40:42 | speachy | sorry about that.. |
| 09:41:09 | speachy | if I had one of thee things in front of me I'd be able to do it myself |

| 12:05:37 | braewoods | _bilgus__: let me know if you need more testing. |
| 12:05:57 | braewoods | i ordered some H320s from ebay to do some testing of the sister port |
| 12:06:32 | braewoods | given the realities we deal with on these i think i will end up extending the iriver_flash port to cover the H300 series as well |
| 12:06:45 | braewoods | in theory they should work since they are similar enough |
| 12:07:37 | _bilgus__ | braewoods, hopefully soon but I'll try to get all the known bugs worked out first |
| 12:08:04 | braewoods | basically i intend to finish what the previous developer started |
| 12:08:12 | braewoods | to the extent that is realistic |
| 12:08:20 | braewoods | but first i need to see what of the old notes is still relevant |
| 12:08:31 | braewoods | it's been over 10 years. some of them may no longer apply. |
| 12:10:01 | _bilgus__ | I think our 4.0 release is gonna be exciting with all these 'New' players! |
| 12:10:11 | braewoods | is that the next release? |
| 12:10:15 | braewoods | or is 3.16 the next one? |
| 12:10:30 | _bilgus__ | yeah we ditch the HWcodecs next release is 4.0 |
| 12:12:29 | _bilgus__ | when I say we I mean speachy lol |
| 12:14:17 | braewoods | what releases still used them? |
| 12:14:28 | _bilgus__ | 3.15 |
| 12:14:32 | braewoods | i mean |
| 12:14:34 | braewoods | what targets |
| 12:14:54 | _bilgus__ | ah archos and something else |
| 12:15:02 | braewoods | archos is retired |
| 12:15:12 | _bilgus__ | yes after 3.15 |
| 12:15:32 | braewoods | i guess it was retired due to it being to UPed for software |
| 12:15:50 | braewoods | but software decoding is far more flexible |
| 12:15:53 | braewoods | and portable |
| 12:16:28 | _bilgus__ | our main issue was that they are rare and it had a ton of conditional code |
| 12:16:36 | braewoods | i see. |
| 12:17:02 | braewoods | as in so rare they only show up on ebay once in a blue moon? |
| 12:17:50 | _bilgus__ | as in there is one person with an archos we have seen in two? years |
| 12:18:06 | braewoods | ah. |
| 12:18:12 | braewoods | wow. |
| 12:18:22 | braewoods | these things were clunky |
| 12:18:24 | braewoods | giant |
| 12:18:32 | braewoods | make my iriver h120 look small |
| 12:18:36 | _bilgus__ | and she stated she didn't upgrade because the bootloader stopped fitting many releases ago |
| 12:18:54 | braewoods | ah so rockbox had outgrown it |
| 12:19:05 | _bilgus__ | pretty sure it was the first target |
| 12:20:52 | braewoods | interesting |
| 12:21:06 | braewoods | the current h300 / h120 / h100 bootloaders use about 58k |
| 12:21:10 | braewoods | only about 7k to spare |
| 12:21:46 | _bilgus__ | you should see the effort I had to go through to get multiboot into the sansas |
| 12:22:02 | braewoods | how much space did you have to work with? |
| 12:22:16 | braewoods | in the case of rockbox it has about 64k for these to work with |

| 12:22:52 | _bilgus__ | I wanna say under 10mb we compress the OF and piggyback |
| 12:23:01 | braewoods | I se. |
| 12:23:04 | braewoods | see |
| 12:23:41 | braewoods | the iriver coldfire targets seem unique in that they store their bootloader in literal ROM |
| 12:23:55 | braewoods | so you can literally replace the OF |
| 12:24:13 | _bilgus__ | In theory you could alway add another layer of bootstrap |
| 12:24:46 | braewoods | there's not much value in the OF on these if you want to upgrade them since flash based storage is the main option today |
| 12:25:03 | braewoods | and they don't work with flash based storage |
| 12:25:06 | braewoods | for whatever reason |
| 12:25:10 | braewoods | rockbox does just fine |
| 12:25:54 | _bilgus__ | the great thing about OSS |
| 12:25:56 | braewoods | but while i'm working on the H300 bootloader i plan to stick to the original HDD |
| 12:26:08 | braewoods | since i may need to boot the OF |
| 12:26:22 | braewoods | plus, testing. |
| 12:28:57 | braewoods | though i can't say i think the H300 bootloader needs much more |
| 12:29:14 | braewoods | mostly just feature parity and a few odds and ends... if space allows |
| 12:35:41 | braewoods | interesting |
| 12:35:52 | braewoods | checking the FW patching routines.. |
| 12:36:18 | braewoods | it appears that the H100 and H300 firmwares use different offsets for the bootloader |

| 12:42:44 | braewoods | something is fishy here |
| 12:43:06 | braewoods | i'll need to read the ROM from within rockbox and see where the bootloader is actually stored |

| 13:20:38 | braewoods | so they can be available in rbutil |

| 13:26:06 | speachy | I could use some help getting manuals written (with keymaps) for these new targets |

| 13:35:07 | speachy | still haven't finished generating screenshots for the X3 yet. |
| 13:35:14 | speachy | (or its keymaps) |
| 13:35:49 | johnb3 | screenshots are done with the setting in debug + usb connect, right? |
| 13:35:59 | speachy | I found it easier to do them in the simulator :) |
| 13:36:38 | speachy | but for the manual, we only need to regen the screenshots once for a given screen size/depth |
| 13:36:42 | johnb3 | ;-) Do we have simulator build for all of them? |
| 13:37:04 | speachy | unless there's there's something unique about a particular sceenshot |
| 13:37:35 | speachy | the eroses dont' have sim builds yet, mainly because I don't have playerpics yet |
| 13:38:18 | speachy | I suppose fixing (or disabling) some of the wonky plugins would be a good idea too |
| 13:38:36 | speachy | eg quake and duke3d supposedly goes kabloeey. most likely RAM limitation |
| 13:39:11 | bluebrother^ | nice. Now github builds Rockbox Utiltiy for Linux and macOS :) |
| 13:40:05 | speachy | bluebrother^: are those linked off hte wiki / download / etc pages? |
| 13:40:48 | bluebrother^ | speachy: no. Right now it's a branch on my mirror of Rockbox that's used, and I only do build them so far, not even archive. |
| 13:40:49 | johnb3 | speachy Is building the simulator straight forward (just the choice during make)? |
| 13:41:00 | bluebrother^ | main issue was to get it compile on a recent macOS. |
| 13:41:48 | bluebrother^ | next would be to have it build a Windows binary too. |
| 13:41:56 | johnb3 | Also, where can I check for naming conventions (samples) for screenshots? |
| 13:42:39 | johnb3 | where in the git repo ... |
| 13:42:51 | bluebrother^ | johnb3: naming is ss-[name]-[resolution]{-player}.png |
| 13:43:00 | bluebrother^ | manual/*/images |
| 13:43:50 | lebellium | speachy: I tried to play rockboy Mario Tennis on the Agptek H3 yesterday but the scrolling wheel is a pain |
| 13:44:00 | lebellium | I need a better target for that purpose :D |
| 13:44:56 | bluebrother^ | the {-player} is optional and only used if you have an existing screenshot for that resolution but need a different one for a specific player. |
| 13:46:00 | bluebrother^ | so mostly for the clips with their different color at the top |

| 16:10:02 | braewoods | lebellium: you said you own irivers from the H100 and H300 series? do you own any remotes? if so, which types? i've been trying to research the remotes and all i could find is the H100 series remote which is also H300 compatible. |
| 16:10:29 | braewoods | lebellium: but apparently there's also 2 kinds of H300 remotes but i have no idea what they look like. |
| 16:10:50 | braewoods | it appears to be one of the missing features but if i can't find any there's no way to support them |
| 16:11:31 | braewoods | plus support might be impossible anyway since the few notes i find suggest they found no way to detect the remote differences |
| 16:13:18 | braewoods | huh. ok. |
| 16:13:32 | braewoods | found the non-lcd remote in the manual |
| 16:20:06 | lebellium | I have the lcd remote which works for both H100 and H300. There is also a non-lcd remote for H10 |
| 16:21:01 | | Join pamaury [0] (~pamaury@rockbox/developer/pamaury) |
| 16:22:35 | lebellium | I'm not sure whether the non-LCD H10 remote also works with H100 and H300 |
| 16:22:47 | lebellium | I would say probably yes |
| 16:25:13 | lebellium | the non-LCD remote in the H300 user manuals looks exactly like the H10 remote |
| 16:26:28 | lebellium | https://www.adverts.ie/ipod-mp3/iriver-h300-series-remote/200540 |
| 16:27:02 | lebellium | -> this is probably the true LCD remote for H300 that no-one has |
| 16:27:19 | lebellium | The H100 remote is far more common |
| 16:27:45 | braewoods | so not much point in trying to support hardware that is that rare |
| 16:28:06 | braewoods | plus, what does it do that the H100 remote doesn't? |
| 16:28:51 | lebellium | oh ! https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/KeymapIriverHSeries |
| 16:28:59 | lebellium | Didn't even know we had such a great wiki page |
| 16:30:11 | braewoods | good to know |
| 16:30:18 | braewoods | but both h300 remotes that i can tell are super rare |
| 16:30:28 | braewoods | only seen them bundled with h300 units |
| 16:30:30 | braewoods | if at all |
| 16:30:41 | braewoods | at least at this point in time |
| 16:31:25 | lebellium | I think most H300 were sold without it |
| 16:31:38 | braewoods | yea |
| 16:31:42 | lebellium | It was probably a pricer bundle only sold in some regions |
| 16:31:55 | braewoods | and i'm not seeing anything unique to it |
| 16:32:08 | braewoods | they both have the same basic type of screen |
| 16:32:28 | lebellium | well, the design better suits the H300 case compared to the H100 remote. I would definitely buy it if I can find it one day :D |
| 16:33:37 | braewoods | lebellium: you own an iriver h10? |
| 16:33:42 | lebellium | yes |
| 16:33:46 | braewoods | the 20GB? |
| 16:34:01 | lebellium | yes |
| 16:34:24 | lebellium | but the HDD and battery are dying |
| 16:34:32 | braewoods | you can replace those thankfully |
| 16:35:14 | braewoods | the cradle seems to be rather rare |

| 18:12:42 | braewoods | the comments suggest they never found a way to detect them. |
| 18:13:36 | efqw | speachy: I had some time to think about the m3k and in my opinion the best way to work with the current kernel/rootfs combination we have is to write a new `shutdown` binary that kills all processes, flushes writeback, unmounts everything, and then tell axp192 to cut power via the ioctl() call. |
| 18:13:59 | efqw | This way rb does NOT have to mess with this junk |
| 18:14:02 | speachy | yep |
| 18:15:06 | speachy | heck, it can be combined into the bootloader, have the system shutdown scripts call it with an argument to trigger the ioctl. |
| 18:15:21 | lebellium | braewoods: actually I didn't really understand why we are talking about iriver remote controls. Is there a plan to change something in the code related to this topic ? |
| 18:15:57 | braewoods | lebellium: i was revisiting the H300 and H100 in the process of doing research for producing a new set of bootloaders. |
| 18:16:11 | braewoods | i was seeing what else I might want to do within the realm of reason. |
| 18:16:30 | braewoods | the H320 hasn't seen a new bootloader in 14 years. |
| 18:16:37 | braewoods | but many fixes have been done in master since |
| 18:16:43 | braewoods | not all of which i know |
| 18:17:18 | braewoods | it's looking like it would be unrealistic to add support for the H300 only remotes given their scarcity |
| 18:17:42 | braewoods | plus the notes left behind suggest they... |
| 18:17:54 | braewoods | have no known way to detect their difference |
| 18:17:56 | braewoods | s |
| 18:18:23 | braewoods | lebellium: i was asking mostly for research i guess |
| 18:18:42 | lebellium | does that mean that if I currently plug the non-LCD remote to the H300, it won't be recognized by Rockbox? |
| 18:19:22 | braewoods | supposedly. |
| 18:19:32 | braewoods | support was never finished if these notes are still current |
| 18:20:22 | braewoods | https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IriverPort |
| 18:20:27 | braewoods | Done (h100 remote only so far) |
| 18:20:31 | braewoods | for the h300 side |
| 18:21:13 | lebellium | Ok got it. I like buying things to help for some tests but if no-one is going to dig into the remote detection, I won't waste €25 for a basic remote without LCD :) |

| 18:23:42 | lebellium | good old time |
| 18:23:58 | braewoods | but yea, the main stickler is remote detection |
| 18:26:43 | lebellium | looks like they already went quite far without solution |
| 18:26:59 | lebellium | so probably a waste of time in 2020 :/ |
| 18:28:19 | braewoods | not much point in researching something that is next to impossible to find |
| 18:28:24 | | Quit pamaury (Ping timeout: 258 seconds) |
| 18:30:25 | lebellium | It looks like one can make the difference between the H100 and any H300 remote though. So maybe back to the time it would have been great to have a user setting allowing to select between LCD and non-LCD when a H300 remote is detected? |
| 18:31:02 | braewoods | i'm not sure honestly |
| 18:31:10 | braewoods | the code suggests it is already implemented |
| 18:32:12 | braewoods | lebellium: actually i guess you can do us a favor |

| 18:32:27 | braewoods | that's the only reason though |

| 22:33:38 | Stanley00 | I've have updated the patch to use usb-hiby.c and rocker_linux.c for M5. Now, if there's a way to make an updatable firmware as in fiio m3k, that would be great |
| 22:34:04 | Stanley00 | how do you create firmware file for fiio m3k or hiby based player? |
| 22:34:56 | Stanley00 | I check the firmware from m5, and it zip file of bunch of (maybe signed apk) zip files |
| 22:35:31 | efqw | Stanley00: currently we have no idea how to do this |
| 22:35:53 | Stanley00 | oh, how do you flash the firmware to m3k then? |
| 22:37:17 | efqw | FiiO borrowed the OTA stuff from the ingenic BSP instead of implementing their own (saner) versions like hiby did (.upt ISO image with simple md5 hash inside) |
| 22:38:12 | efqw | The Ingenic BSP was originally designed for iot (spy) speakers, so it does make some sense to have signed updates. |
| 22:39:02 | efqw | Currently there are two ways to approach this on an M3K |
| 22:40:06 | efqw | First, you can use the xvortex image (which is signed) to acquire a root shell, and then try to update the system UBI image (or remount it as rw and make your changes on the fly). I have not tried this so I cannot guarantee this will work. |
| 22:40:26 | *** | Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" |
| 22:46:50 | Stanley00 | yes, and what is the second way then? |

| 23:06:46 | | Quit bonfire (Quit: Leaving) |
| 23:13:21 | efqw | Sorry I was distracted by something else |
| 23:13:38 | efqw | The 2nd way is to use the ingenic usb cloner to flash the ubi partition. |
| 23:14:22 | efqw | This bypasses the recovery (which is where the signature check happens) |
| 23:15:49 | efqw | We do not have rights/permission to distribute this cloner tool |
| 23:16:52 | efqw | But if you have it, all you need to do is to dump your device's flash partitions. |
| 23:16:55 | Stanley00 | I tried this cloner tool, but it seems it will need some config specific to the board, right? |
| 23:17:11 | efqw | Do you have all of the flash dumped? |

| 23:17:43 | Stanley00 | I have some kind of mtd layout from dmesg message, not sure if it is the right one? |
| 23:17:53 | efqw | That's all you need. |
| 23:19:14 | Stanley00 | also, do I need special boot mode for the m5? I'm just feeling that plug it in usb port doesn't sound right |
| 23:20:00 | efqw | You need to power off the device, hold down a key and insert the USB cable |
| 23:20:30 | efqw | If the device doesn't start and your PC finds a new USB device, then it's good |
| 23:24:26 | Stanley00 | hmm... for my m5, there's only 3 buttons, and one of them already used for offline update, I will test this later today, thanks for the info |
| 23:25:29 | efqw | use the other one then |
| 23:25:45 | efqw | it's not power as that one is attached to the PMU |
