12:28:50chris_sspeachy: I'm curious myself and may be able to test it on an Ipod video one of these days. The 4G continues to run perfectly in that configuration :)
12:28:51chris_sI think I have to bother you about g#3122 again, which I'd last mentioned here on the 18th. A user has suggested on the forums (https://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,53758.msg247895) that there may be issues with the new behavior that I've documented in g#3130. If the change is kept, it would probably require additional code and documentation
12:28:51chris_sto also display "Play Next" in the Context menu when playback is stopped (and have it work as expected), so that the use case where you *want* to delete the dynamic playlist before adding more songs is covered. The necessary changes would be minor as far as I can tell. I'd take a shot at offering up an implementation for review unless someone else
12:28:52DBUGEnqueued KICK chris_s
12:28:52chris_swants to.
12:28:52chris_sAlternatively (or additionally) g#3122 would have to be reverted (and I'd abandon the related documentation g#3130), at least for the time being, despite the fact that I still feel it is somewhat user-hostile to delete the dynamic playlist when wording (and behavior in other playback states) imo suggests you're adding something to it.

17:10:44amachronicHi all, I've been working on a bare-metal port of Rockbox to the FiiO M3K and I'm hoping to push it upstream now.
17:11:54amachronicis it alright if I push the changes to gerrit? Thanks
17:15:48braewoodsamachronic: define bare metal?
17:16:53amachronicRockbox is running in kernel mode on the hardware −− not under Linux.
17:17:51amachronicthere's already a port for the M3K which is Linux based but it has issues

17:37:20amachronicjust pushed to gerrit
17:40:11amachroniccurrently this is very work in progress, but it can boot over USB and navigate in the rockbox menus. can browse the filesystem, but no audio yet.
17:43:41speachyamachronic: only one minor comment so far. I'm inclined to immediately merge everything up to the new port.
17:43:56speachywhich is going to take some time to wade through
17:45:02amachronica word of warning: I renamed the old Linux-based port −− I don't know if any rockbox infrastructure will break because of this.
17:45:59speachyI was cehcking on that. we don't currently have anything m3k in the infrastructure.

17:59:38speachyamachronic: the bootloader doesn't seem to do anything except show the splash screen?
18:00
18:00:46amachronicyes, it's incomplete. to get that working, we need to implement reading from flash.
18:01:20speachy...or just boot from SD?

18:01:33fs-bluebotBuild Server message: New build round started. Revision 96019d23aa, 293 builds, 9 clients.
18:01:37amachronicProblem with SD boot is that the chip is hardwired to boot from flash
18:01:46***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
18:01:51speachyah.
18:01:59amachronicTo get SD boot working, we'd need to overwrite the flash bootloader with garbage
18:02:08amachronicthat would trigger a fallback to SD boot.
18:02:28speachyI mean, what's to stop that bootloader from initializing the SD interface and loading the rockbox binary off of SD?
18:02:45amachronicThe "bootloader" is not really the first thing run on boot.
18:02:55amachronicThe chip only loads 12 KiB of code from flash (the SPL)
18:02:57speachyyeah, the SPL etc.
18:03:10amachronicSo there's no room to implement a proper SD driver
18:03:23amachronicThis was my first idea, but it got really hard to manage the code size even with optimizations on
18:03:33speachyok
18:03:46amachronicmy plan is: overwrite the stock SPL with ours
18:03:57amachronicthen use some empty space in the flash to embed the Rockbox bootloader
18:04:04amachronicand then the Rockbox bootloader loads Rockbox from the SD card.
18:04:49CtcpIgnored 3 channel CTCP requests in 21 hours and 4 minutes at the last flood
18:04:49*speachy nods.
18:06:01speachysound should be relatively easy; the x1000's I2S & DMA engine is almost identical to the jz4760, except that it has a working circular DMA setup so true HW double-buffering can be used
18:06:19amachronicalright
18:06:45speachy(meaning the horrid intterrupt overhead won't bite us so badly under heavy load, like it did on the jz4760..)
18:07:21speachythough since the x1000 is true mips32r2 there's more efficient interrupt handling in the CPU core.
18:07:39amachronicI don't know if it is actually mips32r2
18:08:30amachronicI read somewhere it implements some r2 functionality, but not all of it
18:11:11speachyit at least implements the full r2 instruction set
18:12:17speachyand Linux thinks it's a full R2 as well
18:12:25amachronichmm..  you notice in the manual it's only integer instructions that they claim release 2 support
18:12:43amachronicand the other support is just XBurst release ii

18:55:34speachydanke.
18:56:04speachyso what do you see as your next steps here?
18:56:13speachyget sound going?
18:58:47amachronicyep, need to implement sound
18:58:59amachronicI think the SD driver could be broken
18:59:15amachronicthe LCD needs to be update to use DMA −− I couldn't get it working
18:59:26amachroniccurrently it is absurdly slow, so that will cause a problem for sound
18:59:45speachywell, not if sound is using double-buffered DMA. :D
19:00
19:00:22speachythe xduoo x3 basically bitbangs out its display updates, but it's tiny and monocromic so isn't so bad.
19:00:43speachyis the m3k's display wired up via the LCD controller, or via i2c/spi?
19:01:01amachronicit is wired to the LCD controller; and from my testing, the FiiO takes 28 ms to update a full frame in register mode
19:01:10speachy(Or I guess I can read your source, heh)
19:01:27speachyouch, that's pretty bad. but it's not blocking out interrupts during that time, correct?
19:01:54amachronicit shouldn't be, it's just a lot of busy waiting
19:02:10amachronicso it might need some yields added to it
19:02:56amachronicabout DMA double buffering: how exactly does this work?
19:03:08amachronic(I'm not very experienced with low level stuff)
19:03:33amachronicDMA is the main reason I have held off the audio
19:04:01speachythe idea is there are two DMA buffers. we get an interrupt after each one is complete, so by the time the next one is consumed we've re-filled the first.

19:04:38amachronicah, makes sense...
19:05:16speachyI recommend looking at the jz4760 code, with g#2751 applied on top.
19:05:18fs-bluebotGerrit review #2751 at https://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/c/rockbox/+/2751 : jz4760: (very) WIP: Use double-buffered DMA for PCM data. by Solomon Peachy
19:06:44speachyrockbox actually does double-buffering internally, but the problem is that due to the MIPS32r1 irq overhead (and if any other interrupt is being serviced!) we simply can't point the audiohw at the second buffer before we underrun.
19:08:10speachyI'd done quite a lot of optimizations of the lowlevel irq code, but since the CPU core has no sense of nestable/preemptable interrupts it would have to be entirely implemented in software. I started working on it but decided it just wasn't worth it.
19:08:46amachronicyeah, I don't think even ingenic's linux does nested interrupts.
19:08:52speachymips32r2 has considerable improvements in that regard.
19:09:31speachy(<=r1 has a _single_ interrupt as far as the CPU is concerned; it's up to software to figure out what's what)
19:09:45amachronicwell, that's basically what I've got
19:09:55amachronicI started off by copying the jz4760
19:09:59speachythis is one area where I really miss ARM's Cortex-M NVIC.
19:10:40speachyI _think_ the 4760 i2s code should work unmodified on the x1000.
19:10:59speachyincluding DMA.
19:11:06amachronicI haven't really looked at the I2S on the x1000 yet
19:11:18speachy(it seemed that way when I looked into it many moons ago)
19:11:26amachronicI have got some code for bring up the FiiO's DAC
19:11:38amachronicbut it isn't tested
19:11:49speachyso for a first cut at the audio stuff all you really need to worry about is setting up the DAC.
19:13:37speachyI'd also implemented reclocking on the 4760 but it led to faint audio artifacts. I'm curious to see if the X1000 is able to do better.
19:14:24amachronicalright, I'll start working on the audio tomorrow
19:15:05amachronicin terms of the clock setup, right now I run everything off of the APLL
19:15:29amachronicThat way I can save the MPLL for driving the Fiio's DAC.

19:16:02amachronicThe original firmware does run several things off the MPLL though

19:16:53speachybut I only ever gave the X1000's clock tree a cursory overview.
19:17:08amachronicthe main issue is that the clock dividers are very simple
19:17:12speachyI do recall it had fewer restrictions
19:17:47amachronicwith my setup it's generally not possible to give the same clock rates that the OF uses
19:27:59speachylooking ahead, it would be highly preferable to figure out a way to dual-boot the OF with your native port.

19:29:41amachronicI did investigate that a while ago, and I found there was an empty spot in the flash.
19:30:28amachronicso our SPL can just load Linux itself, or load the rockbox bootloader from flash
19:30:56amachronicthere's really no way to boot Rockbox without overwriting _something_ on the flash.
19:33:32speachyyeah, but finding space shouldn't be a big deal −− if nothing else, the OF "bootloader" isn't using anywhere near the full capacity of its erase block.
19:35:08amachronicIIRC, we only have about 80 or 90 KiB of space at the front.
19:35:18amachronicIt's enough that the bootloader should fit though
19:36:24speachythe x3's bootloader binary is 86KiB.
19:39:13amachronici think if I remove the logo, the bootloader I committed is around 40 KiB
19:44:36speachyand can probably nuke all display features too
