12:56:22jssfrat most 7% lifetime increase.
12:58:35calebccffjssfr: That's some quick maths :P given I get about 75 hours on a full charge I'll take 7%
12:58:58jssfr*at most*
12:59:03jssfrthat is if 100% of the battery drain is the CPU :)
12:59:08jssfrwhich is unlikely
12:59:17calebccffhmmm
12:59:32jssfrI have no idea how much the other peripherials drain ... does it have a spinning disk?
12:59:50calebccffWell, every little helps, I'll sit on that patch for a while and see if there's any drop in stability before attempting to post it
13:00
13:00:02calebccffIt usually does yeah but my particular device is flash modded
13:00:22jssfrfor a spinning disk, it probably does not matter at all; the motor will be a significant cost here.
13:00:44jssfrfor flash, no idea.
13:01:28calebccffYeah, it's worth doing if it's stable imo...

13:17:36speachycalebccff: it's worth considering that _your_ ipod being stable at that lower voltage doesn't imply that it's the norm
13:18:18calebccffspeachy: yeah of course, I can imagine especially when you get a spinning disk involved voltages can be a little more delicate
13:18:28speachyyou might have a particularly good unit. Or maybe for folks with spinning rust the power supply droops ever so slightly when teh drive spins up
13:18:47speachyand that little bit of headroom is necessary to ensure the CPU is _always_ okay.
13:19:09speachy(or, or, or...)
13:19:37speachybasically Apple did a lot of work to squeeze what they considered to be the best battery life out and still hit their desired reliability targts
13:20:16speachytime will tell, eh?
13:21:19calebccffYeah I will see I'm sure...
13:22:05calebccffI've been meaning to prepare a patch to increase the maximum battery capacity you can set, it's currently 1000mAh, but you can buy 2200mAh or even 3000mAh batteries now
13:23:54*speachy is really doubtful about those "super capacity" batteries
13:24:04speachy(at least the ones that claim to fit into the same volume)
13:28:47calebccffhaha yeah that's not a thing, but an iFlash quad is slim enough that I can fit an actual 2200mAh battery in

17:02:10efqwAny progress on the m3k stuff while I was gone?
17:02:14efqwFroggestSpirit:
17:02:19efqwwhoops
17:02:37FroggestSpiritI was going to look into a custom build, but just bricked my M3k haha
17:03:03efqwFroggestSpirit: I can send you some full dumps to revive your player and walk you through it later today.
17:03:18efqwYour device is fully recoverable even if you wipe the entire NAND, don't worry
17:03:26FroggestSpiritYou would be my hero. I just got my M3K yesterday, it's too young to die
17:04:23FroggestSpiritI've only tried the vortex build so far, but I want to try fixing a few issues, as well as how the buttons function
17:04:59efqw> I _think_ the stock fiio images are complete
17:04:59efqwNope, the stock image is unfortunately not complete, unlike the Hiby ones. There's only kernel + rootfs, no BL.
17:06:45FroggestSpiritefqw is USBCloner2.5.0 what I should be using?
17:07:18speachyefqw: nothing tangible. been spending most of my time on meatspace stuff.
17:08:09efqwFroggestSpirit: give me a few moments, I'll check
17:08:41FroggestSpiritspeachy I know you mentioned having to stop modules and stuff that are unused in the M3K image, couldn't we have a linux script do that for us on boot?
17:10:19speachyFroggestSpirit: yep, there's the stuff from the original xvortex port, my initial attempts, and the much nicer one that's on the main forum thread. but
17:10:35speachybut the main holdup was a sane way to generate a flashable image
17:10:57speachyprogress has been made, but it's not done yet.
17:11:21efqwSince contacting FiiO is a lost cause, I think we should just rely on the Cloner tool for now, and work on other open source approaches in the mean time.
17:12:00efqwFroggestSpirit: 2.5.0 is correct (anything not _super_ old should work too tbh)
17:13:58FroggestSpiritefqw how large are the firmware dumps typically?
17:15:14efqwWhich partition did you wipe?
17:15:58speachyefqw: the news is that the images are built using the default ingenic key from the sdk
17:16:03FroggestSpiritJust boot I think. I was trying to create a dump, and clicked start, it wiped boot 100%, then when it got to uboot, it said init error
17:16:38efqwOh, I'll post you that, hang on
17:19:02efqwspeachy: very nice, that was my suspicion but I never found where the key was
17:19:33efqwRemember, the ingenic cloner, as far as I'm aware of, is _write-only_.
17:20:11speachyyeah, I haven't been able to find any information taht suggest the ingenic bootrom can read back
17:20:12FroggestSpirithuh, that would explain a lot. What's the method to dump then?
17:20:45efqwIf you want to create dumps, just do that from the xvortex image
17:21:02speachyyou can dump from within the running system.
17:21:04FroggestSpiritoh lol
17:21:17efqwI _really_ should update some of the stuff I wrote to the wiki, lol
17:21:22speachy(or rely on unwrapping the fw update images)
17:28:36efqwAmong the 5 partitons (uboot, kernel, recovery, rootfs, data), 2 of them are available in FiiO's OTA files.
17:29:11efqwI'll need to double check but I'm pretty sure the first 4 do not contain any hardware IDs
17:29:28efqwThe SN is saved as a txt in the last partition.

17:50:10efqwYou're welcome. Please don't distribute the files I sent you.
17:50:57efqwI had 2 plans about the rootfs that I don't yet have the time or energy to implement
17:51:20efqw1. clean up the useless clutter in the stock fiio one
17:52:00efqw2. use buildroot to make a clean one that replaces as much stock binary as possible, only keeping ones that we can't replace
17:52:46efqwIt would be great if we can have a clean base and simply not support dualbooting
17:52:58FroggestSpiritSo you can create a dump inside of the vortex RB? I ended up reupdating with vortex after restoring it. I was going to create my own dump
17:53:32efqwI do not propose this as the default, but I want to have this as an option, for people who just want rb to have a nice and clean base to use.
17:53:36FroggestSpiritBut yeah, I just want to dump my partitions, then I can delete the ones you sent
17:53:59efqwUse the nanddump command btw.

18:01:20efqwThere will be a root shell waiting for you and you can do anything you want.
18:03:46efqwFroggestSpirit: additionally, kernel and rootfs are the two images that you do not have to dump
18:03:59FroggestSpiritWhy's that?
18:04:02efqwBecause it's shipped in fiio's ota files
18:04:21FroggestSpiritahh, and recovery is enough to restore them?
18:04:27efqwYou can dump them just to make sure, but there is no need.
18:04:41efqwIndeed, and you can use the cloner too.
