#rockbox log for 2021-04-01

00:00:15_bilgusbut there is no mirroring I can see
00:00:28_bilgusI bet box those mirrors are COP
00:00:40_bilgusboth*
00:01:13_bilgusprobably the same with the flush base and invalidate base too
00:01:51_bilgusso now my questions are 1. how to init the cache for the other processor
00:02:18_bilguslike can we prime it from our other core then safely?
00:02:25braewoods_bilgus: i may ask for your help with the gigabeat S but after you solve the H10 issues
00:03:00braewoodsin any case i need to trace it
00:03:02***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:03:05_bilgus2. is this the reason for the myriad issues of alignment and such over the past 10+ years
00:03:09braewoodsi can't assume it's the same thing that killed the H10
00:03:19_bilgus3. will it fix issues with other pp devices
00:03:50_bilgusbraewoods, I don't think anyone ever would have guessed that a lcd update would cause this
00:04:16braewoodswell it did kill the iriver H300 bootloader
00:04:22braewoodsuntil we fixed the issues
00:04:29_bilgusit just happened I think that the fb was no longer static so it got cached
00:05:05braewoodssounds like you need to disable caching or so
00:05:18_bilgusits a good thing
00:05:43_bilgusthe code nbot the address
00:06:06_bilgusthats the cool thing about a instruction cache
00:06:33_bilgusassuming your thing can fit in a cacheline or two
00:07:03braewoodsis it like the cache x86 uses?
00:07:17braewoodsit sounds like IRAM or so
00:07:19_bilgusx86 has aid cache
00:07:24braewoodsRAM really close to the CPU
00:07:51_bilgusI don't think it necessarily has to be close
00:09:25_bilgusIRAM you put the stuff and leave it the cache is LIFO basically
00:09:53_bilgusanything can be there at a given time
00:10:13_bilgusbut then you need to do all the book keeping
00:10:24_bilguswell some of it
00:11:23_bilgusit really makes a noticible difference on this h10
00:11:35braewoodsso how can you fix the issue?
00:11:49_bilguswhat issue?
00:11:55braewoodsa cache is useless if it interferes with reliable operation
00:12:03_bilgusits fixed
00:12:08braewoodsso what was the fix?
00:12:28_bilgus g#3264
00:12:39_bilgusbah bluebotttt
00:13:02braewoodsit's feeling blue
00:13:02_bilguswe were clearing the status of the CPU from both cores
00:14:00braewoodsmeaning the zero flag, etc?
00:14:39braewoodsstrange issue
00:14:44_bilgusno meaning we were wiping out the cache of the CPU with invalidated entries from the other core
00:14:53braewoodsoh
00:15:14braewoodsand of course PP can have race conditions due to having multiple cores
00:15:19_bilgusand on top not even invalidating anything on the COP
00:15:53braewoodsnot that cores are a pre-req to that
00:15:55braewoodsbut
00:16:05braewoodseh
00:16:11braewoodsall depends on how you handle concurrency
00:16:51_bilgusI have to wonder now if we even need to do all this weird invalidation if we just keep in mind that there are two cores but I assume someone already tried the stuff in the wiki
00:17:15_bilgushttp://www.ipodlinux.org/PP5020/
00:18:15_bilgusI still don't know about q1 but I think I'll mess around with it
00:18:50braewoodsok ordered some stuff so i can try some stuff with the gigabeat s
00:18:56braewoodswhile i wait on those parts
00:22:38braewoodsi'll try to sort out the gigabeat S issue
00:33:04braewoodsgood grief
00:33:10braewoodsit seems like it has to build everything
00:35:56braewoods3.15 works no surprise there
00:36:51_bilguswell jump to the commit before the lcd update just to be sure
00:36:54_bilguslol
00:37:40braewoodsi'm going to gradually get there
00:38:19braewoodsi'm probably going to be swapping out my laptop for a ryzen soon

00:44:41chris_sFS #13281 Was able to reproduce this and will investigate it...
00:48:47_bilgusmight be an old bug or your new playback stuff
00:53:02braewoods_bilgus: commit right before the new toolchain checks out
00:53:11braewoodsi'll test right before LCD changes
01:00
01:00:32chris_sbilgus: Well, it definitely happens because of the playlist_resume() call in playlist_modified that I'd added.  Still have to figure out *why* that is creating a problem in that scenario. I think this is probably the same bug that amachronic had described a few days ago.   I almost always use the database instead of the file browser which is why
01:00:32chris_sI hadn't noticed it (it only occurs when playing a folder) "I sometimes had an issue where the song would get loaded but not play, stuck at 0:00"
01:17:17braewoodsspeachy: appears your toolchain broke the gigabeat S port
01:17:31_bilguslooks like 18 devices use the pp5020
01:17:51_bilgusbunch of ipods
01:17:57_bilgusI'm excited

01:48:37braewoods...
01:48:39braewoodsThat was it?
01:48:41braewoodsSeriously?
01:49:06braewoodsspeachy: it looks like gigabeats for some reason breaks if optimizations are turned on
01:49:16braewoodsas to why i can't begin to gues
01:49:20braewoodsspeachy: suggestions?
01:52:14braewoodsspeachy: in any case i plan to do some repairs on the unit before i do much else with it
01:52:24braewoodsi would prefer to know why optimizations break it
01:52:28braewoodsbut is that even realistic?
01:52:56braewoodsthe symptoms i observed is it would hang similar to the H10.
01:53:03braewoodsi'd see the rockbox logo and the version at the bottom
01:53:05braewoodsbut it hangs there
01:53:38braewoodsbut optimizations were effectively disabled for gigabeats before the toolchain upgrade

06:01:53speachy_bilgus: so you also forced exceptions to only be handled on the primary CPU?
06:03:08***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
06:03:32speachyOr rather, you replaced CURRENT_CORE with IF_COP_CORE(CPU) but that's not the same at all
06:04:14speachyIF_COP_CORE(CPU) is a macro that expands to CPU, so if(IF_COP_CORE(CPU) == CPU) becomes if(CPU == CPU) which becomes if (1)
06:07:19speachy everywhere you changed CURRENT_CORE to IF_COP_CODE seems... suspect.
06:09:37speachyeg now in irq_handler, instead of primary CPU, irqs can now be handled by either.
06:10:15speachyIF_COP_CORE(x) is a macro that
06:11:07speachyso even in the cache_invalidate_special() function you're only ever initializing the primary CPU's cache.

06:19:52_bilgusor is it redefd somewhere?
06:20:21_bilguslooks like a FB macro to me

06:21:56_bilgusyeah and just below https://github.com/Rockbox/rockbox/blob/master/firmware/export/config.h#L1161
06:22:13speachythat's wrapped by #ifndef NUM_CORES
06:22:17speachybut NUM_CORES is 2
06:22:33speachy(on the PP, unless FORCE_SINGLE_CORE is set)
06:24:17_bilguswth is the redef then not seeing it
06:26:11speachymy point is it's _not_ getting redefined; using IF_COP_CORE(...) is wrong in this context.
06:26:34_bilgusoh dub
06:26:40_bilgusdamn
06:26:44_bilgusI see it
06:26:48speachyeverywhere you used it you should have used CURRENT_CORE instead
06:27:08_bilgusWhat I was trying to do was get that force single core to work properly
06:30:09speachyI don't think that's necessary with your changes; CURRENT_CORE == CPU in a FORCE_SINGLE_CORE scenario
06:33:51_bilgusWell good thing YOU caught that
06:34:05_bilgusthankfully the player is still fixed :p
06:37:24speachythe compiler will optimize away the CACHE_STATUS_BASE_COP branch in the else in cache_invalidate() as the test becomes if (0 == 0)

06:41:40speachy3265 isn't needed
06:41:58speachysystem_init() is called by both cores, and init_cache is unconditionally called at the end of system_init()
06:44:35_bilgusah I was wondering if it was like that or if we just couldn't determine which core would be master

To add to this my music is mostly m4a, and as it turns out, the metadata parser thinks this is "ALAC" which  is what the UI shows when the bug occurs. But when the music loads and plays, it changes to "AAC" which is what it should be.

08:48:58speachy...once more, with feeling...
08:52:07amachronicbilgus: I was thinking myself about rejigging the button handling. what do you think about this state machine idea:
08:52:19amachronicuse three states = { RELEASED, PRESSED, HELD } for each button
08:52:26amachronicRELEASED -> PRESSED when BUTTON_X gets set
08:52:31amachronicPRESSED -> RELEASED when BUTTON_X gets unset
08:52:52amachronicPRESSED -> HELD if the PRESSED state persists for a long enough duration
08:53:00amachronicHELD -> RELEASED when BUTTON_X gets unset
08:53:14amachronicand we could attach actions to the transitions.
08:53:52amachronicand if need be the state machine can be made more complex to handle extra behavior
08:55:37speachyamachronic: a normal "press" should only trigger upon release, but "held" should trigger upon entering HELD. and possibly a different behavior upon release..
08:56:11speachyon other words, we want edge detection rather than level. :D fire upon the transitions rather than the states themselves.
08:56:23speachy(gah. scrap the "fire...")
08:56:34amachronicthat's exactly my thinking
08:57:19amachronicNeeds a bit of tweaking to handle the events that come from the scrollwheel, since they don't "release", but overall does this seem like a good idea?
08:58:15speachyit's a ton of work to get there from where we are now though.

09:19:41_bilgusamachronic, yes you could add a field like that but wouldn't it be easier to just remap what goes in
09:20:19_bilgusproblem there if at button level instead of actions you would be limited
09:20:39_bilgusif we do it at the action level then you could be like hold button for action_play
09:22:21amachronicthe intents thing is more of a hack to avoid the need to add tons of #ifdef in places which want to monitor the button level directly
09:22:35amachronicat the action level it isn't really useful
09:24:09_bilgusthat might work for plugins
09:24:26amachronicI'm motivated by the fact some of the plugins in the fiio m3k are hacky, they can only monitor one button when it's better to have 2 or 3 buttons do the same thing.
09:24:46_bilgussometimes some players don't do multiple buttons
09:25:02_bilgusI had to hack that in the .... rocker?
09:25:24speachy_bilgus: you did that on the X3, definitely.
09:25:41_bilgusX3 yeah lol
09:26:44amachronicfor the hosted targets it would be better to bypass the button_read_device() API entirely, since they generally have to translate an event stream back into a "continuous" signal
09:27:19amachronicb/c the state machine I mentioned earlier is just a way to transform a continuous signal to discrete events
09:28:29speachywe still need to map the target-specific "events" to rockbox events.
09:29:18speachyso yeah, a better API will definitely help there, but we can't just wire it up directly. And there are always quirks. sigh.
09:29:24amachronicperhaps the button handling layer should use psuedo-events defined by the target, then use context-dependent mapping to change those into action events.
09:29:33amachronici mean rockbox events
09:29:46_bilgustry to align them all lower but what happens whe you lack a button
09:30:56_bilgusI guess then you could make a 'sticky' button or something
09:31:08speachyamachronic: in a sense that's what we already have though?
09:31:48amachronicsomewhat true, but there's a bunch of special case handling sprinkled all over the place.
09:31:59_bilgusand in a sense its alrady a state machine lol but to get that from compile time to runtime thats a lot of logic that needs to be translated
09:32:00speachyit seems a lot of duplicated work to recreate "raw button bitmap" -> events
09:33:07_bilgusidk i'll keep brewing this one amachronic if you get a wild hair POC is always welcome
09:33:31speachy(for each target I mean)
09:33:54_bilgusI kinda don't want to touch the action system for a bit still kinda sore from the last 50 patch commit it took
09:35:46_bilgusexcuse me 40 not 50
09:38:13_bilgusI think what might help is some kind of scripting in core
09:38:40_bilguswe have it everywhere but with piecemeal fashion
09:38:57_bilgusand its all crypic AF
09:39:29_bilgusmaybe just a central parser engine
09:43:35amachronicis it feasible to push the actions into a queue instead of having the caller "pull" actions by calling a function?
09:49:33_bilgusthe button code has a queue next level down, but you want to insert one for the actions too? I'm not sure how you would do it once you get to the push part??
09:50:49_bilguslike make get_action just chec k the queue and have the action engine running in its own tick task −− its still procedural just hidden lower I suppose
09:51:12amachronicyeah that's the idea −− remove the button tick task and have action engine read the device itself
09:51:33_bilguswe don't have multithreading like that
09:51:54_bilgusit'd still have to be polled in some form or anoter
09:52:20amachronicof course, but instead of queuing the button presses we queue the actions instead
09:52:26_bilgusI think the current is like that because you have more control in regards to when to take the hit
09:54:05_bilgussorta makes sense to me then you can peek the queue and whatnot with handling it but what concrete advantages do we get besides the appearance of 'event based'
09:55:48_bilgusan aside.. a sim bug that crashes when the button queue gets full
09:56:26amachronicI think might be hitting that on my m3k under high loads, but I didn't bother to confirm which queue it was
09:56:49_bilgusit exists
09:57:04_bilguscoded around on players though
09:57:47amachronicit mainly happens on the debug screens, I guess they just don't handle actions "normally" and the queue fills up
09:58:19_bilgusyeah nothing reading it and it overflows
09:58:50_bilguswe could instead do a small bit of the plugin buffer and do some PIC stuff
09:59:05_bilgusa action plugin so to speak
09:59:34_bilgusshould be simple enough to make a plugin that will generate machine code to route the actions
10:00
10:00:34_bilgusit would be of course core but we could generate it at compile time and overwrite it in ram at RT
10:01:01_bilgusthe plugin system has most of the infra for us already
10:01:48amachronicI'm not sure I understand what you mean here.. why would we need to generate code for routing actions??
10:03:12***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
10:03:14_bilgusok so right now that keymap is a static representation and the compiler emits machine code that matches that 'map'
10:03:32_bilgusso we instead mark in ram where that is and load it like a plugin
10:03:59_bilgusthen later overwrite that 'map'
10:04:25amachronicyou mean just modifying the keymap table.
10:04:29_bilgusyep
10:04:48amachronicwell we just need to make the mapping of button -> action mutable, no need for anything fancy
10:05:22_bilgusits not fancy its a way to do this without filling core with junk fo it
10:05:29_bilgusfor*
10:05:46amachronicah I see you mean the "compiler" for the table goes in a plugin so it's not in RAM all the time
10:06:18_bilgusyes we can do the logic there
10:06:27_bilgusand just present the map to the core
10:07:36_bilgusstill gonna be hard with all that different ifdef but I think we can cheat and use a default table to get the proper instructions and minkey patch
10:07:46_bilgusmonkey
10:08:29_bilgusthe plugin has a default table that is already compiled that it can exampine for the proper instructions
10:12:07_bilgusI we wanted to get fancy we could then have plugins load a map and lead back to the key setting plugin (since we can call plugins from plugins now)
10:13:05amachronicif we got rid of the pre button stuff, then the tables would simplify because they're no longer dependent on the order of entries.
10:13:22_bilgusI don't know how you copuld
10:13:24amachronicthat would make it easier to dynamically update them without invoking a parser
10:13:47_bilgusproblem is that some actions use two buttons
10:14:38_bilgusit wouldn't be hard to scan the table for prebuttons in the cold path
10:14:54_bilgusjust need a bit o mark it
10:14:57_bilgusto
10:15:15_bilgusI need a click keyboard damnit
10:15:22amachronichow do the 2 button actions work in practice? wouldn't the "modifier" key have to be unused, to avoid wrongly matching it?
10:15:53_bilgusyes but thats why its separaed into different contexts
10:16:06_bilgusso it cuts down on the chance
10:16:42amachronicok, I think the state machine I outlined could be adapted to handle that more reliably and without checking pre buttons.
10:17:30_bilgusits already half way there
10:17:55chris_shuh... on the latest build (since 89acde6 but even on 9f7f1a8) I now seem to be getting digital clicks/pops in the background on an iPod 4G and iPod video when I select "Playing time" while music is playing if there was previously no disk access going on
10:18:31_bilgustheres our ipod :)
10:19:28_bilguschris_s will you be available in about 7 hrs
10:19:55_bilgusor can you compile your own?
10:19:57chris_syeah, sure
10:20:02chris_soh yea, i could
10:20:57_bilgushttps://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/c/rockbox/+/3264/1/apps/plugins/fire.c
10:21:20_bilgusjust copypasta into a convenient plugin
10:23:01_bilgusand try 9f7f and the commit just prior to 89acde6af2 to besure
10:24:59_bilgusoddly the clicks and pop are gone on the h10
10:27:28speachy_bilgus: one more thing about the PP cache fix; when you combine our two patches tehre are only two relevant changes remaining inyour fix
10:28:33speachythe original code only writes 512 first 512 entries, you write 2K. (ie cache_size / 4)
10:30:03speachy(the other being the distinction between CPU and COP)
10:31:10_bilgusyeah the rest is just moving away from magic numbers
10:32:36_bilgusnext questions being what is different in the h10 versus the ipods though
10:32:55 Quit massiveH (Quit: Leaving)
10:33:03speachy2K entries is overkill though; the cache only has 512 entries
10:33:23speachy(ie 8K/16 bytes per row == 512 rows)
10:35:23_bilgus8192 / 16 = 512?
10:35:57_bilgusCACHEALIGN_SIZE = 16
10:36:24_bilgusoh no thats all F-ed up
10:36:39_bilgusi'm stepping 16 * 4 bytes
10:36:57_bilgusgah
10:37:23_bilgusI even made that notation above
10:37:25speachyyou're stepping by 4.
10:37:48speachyCACHEALIGN_BITS = 4
10:38:07speachyyou're just stepping over 8K/4 instead of 2K/4 (from the original code)
10:38:23_bilgusCACHEALIGN_SIZE = 16
10:38:38_bilgusCACHEALIGN_BITS = 4
10:38:47speachyoops, it's a pointer, so yeah, you're stepping by 16.
10:38:53_bilgusI'm stepping by 64 bits
10:39:10speachyp += CACHEALIGN_BITS
10:39:13_bilgusjeesh
10:39:17speachy so p+=4
10:39:38speachy(but p is a pointer, so you're actually stepping by 4*sizeof(*p))
10:39:50_bilguswe are looking at two different places I think
10:40:01_bilgusthats fine up there the math is right
10:40:05_bilgusbut look at init
10:40:15speachyaah, ok, the init
10:40:28speachyI don't think that matters
10:40:28_bilgusYEAH lol
10:40:41_bilgusits not filling the cache all the way
10:40:55speachyI don't see that
10:41:05speachyp is a char* pointer
10:41:07_bilgus8192 / 64 = 128
10:41:21speachyso p+=16 means the pointer goes up by 16
10:41:28speachynot 64
10:41:34_bilgusoh its not a long
10:41:56speachyit's a long in the invalidate code. And I think _that_ is a mistake
10:42:51_bilguswell you are reading a long though and its aligned too
10:43:28speachyfor (i = 0 ; i < 8192 ; i += 16) vs for (i = 0 ; i < 2048 ; p += 16)
10:44:07_bilgusI prefer the firat one
10:45:03speachyso the original code only invalidated 128 entries
10:45:53speachydoes each cache status word really occur four times back-to-back?
10:45:54_bilgusmakes you wonder if there is even a need for it
10:46:09_bilgusnot according to the dumps i've been looking a
10:46:16_bilgusI was puzzling the same
10:46:43_bilgusIve got like 20 if you want to look throught them maybe it does something weird to the addresses
10:47:02_bilguslets see if they increment
10:47:23speachyyeah, we're updating every 4th word. that seems illogical.
10:48:08speachyeww. wait
10:48:11speachywait
10:48:22speachy&STATUS_BASE_CPU + CACHE_SIZE
10:48:33speachystatus_base_cpu is a unsigned long pointer
10:49:00speachyso it's really (i = 0 ; i < 8192*4 ; i+= 16)
10:49:16speachy_that_ can't be right.
10:50:13_bilguslooking at the mem dump i see repeating entries some times never 4 though sometimes 2-3
10:50:14speachyso the old code is actually i < 8192. yours is i < 32768)
10:52:07_bilgusyeah you are right it should be CACHE_SIZE/ bits in that
10:53:15braewoodsspeachy: yes. turning off optimizations fixes it.

10:53:30fs-bluebotGerrit review #3271 at https://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/c/rockbox/+/3271 : PP: more cache invalidation fixes. by Solomon Peachy
10:53:32braewoodsspeachy: i'll look into seeing if i can trace it.
10:53:47speachyit it a hang-on-boot or what?
10:54:02braewoodshang-on-boot, yes. it never reaches the menu.
10:54:17speachyok, that narrows things down a bit.
10:54:52braewoodsit would be better to fix the real culprit since optimizations shouldn't do this
10:55:06speachyof course
10:55:22braewoodsat least i found a trigger
10:55:34braewoodsi'll try narrowing down what optimizations might be responsible
10:55:41braewoodsthat would help even more
10:56:02braewoodscould be null ptr crap even
10:56:08braewoodsbut no idea yet
10:56:26braewoodsin general that should probably be disabled for freestanding code
10:57:00braewoodsspeachy: i suspect it was also broken for the old toolchain. it was masked by optimizations being disabled on all targets.
10:59:01chris_sg3271 seems to fix it, awesome

11:16:49braewoodswe could be dealing with several issues at once
11:16:55braewoodsso i was trying to fix one before moving on
11:17:30speachythere haven't been any substantive changes to imx31 since then
11:25:51speachywell, the gigabeat build isn't adding in an intentional UDF instruction, so it's not the same nullptr issue that bit PP with -Os
11:26:37braewoodsspeachy: UDF
11:26:39braewoods?
11:30:12speachy"undefined instruction" aka "intentionally crash"
11:30:28speachythat isn't to say that there isn't something being optimized away helpfully
11:30:53braewoodsspeachy: i'll dig into it in a bit
11:32:09speachydoes the -S have an LED or something we can blink?

14:25:09braewoodsspeachy: ok. it works on master with optimization disabled.
14:25:34speachythe equivalent of -O0?
14:25:40braewoods-O actually
14:25:45braewoodsbut
14:25:47speachyok, that's -O1
14:25:48braewoods-O is the same more or less
14:25:55braewoodsit is?
14:26:19braewoodshuh it is
14:28:51braewoodsi'll try -O2 just for grins at the moment
14:29:26speachythat's not likely, as it's a superset of -Os
14:29:57speachy(-Os is "everything from -O2 that doesn't increase the binary size")
14:31:20braewoodsyou said i should try disabling those IATTRs in the system code?
14:31:35speachyit was a thought but I doubt that'll matter
14:32:05braewoodsi should try enabling optimizations until i find which one causes issues
14:33:02speachyTry -O2 first, and if that blows up (as I expect) you can turn -Os back on and start selectively diabling the optimizations it enables
14:33:44braewoodsi know one isn't enabled due to gcc 4.9.x changes

15:27:14speachythat's intentional
15:27:46braewoodsok.
15:27:51braewoodsstrange but ok
15:27:52speachygranted newer make versions can automatically do that for us
15:28:13braewoodsjust how old of a make do we have to support?
15:29:37braewoodsok now adding in the strict optimizations
15:29:45braewoodsthat build worked
15:30:12speachynormally make relies on the -j argument on the cmdline; I think only the newest GNU Make supports overriding that from within a given make invocation
15:30:31braewoodsi was thinking of trying to set makeflags
15:31:12braewoodsthat's how we always enabled it for linux packaging stuff
15:31:25braewoodswe only disable it when it the package didn't support it
15:31:33speachyyes but makeflags has to be set in the environment prior to make being invoked
15:31:43braewoodsoh.
15:32:04speachyit can be set within make and passed to sub-make invocations but we do it all in one go
15:32:24speachyI'm trying to find the release notes for the most recent gnu make
15:32:42braewoodswhich we don't currently do
15:32:52braewoodswe'd have to make a make wrapper really
15:33:00speachyGNU Make 4.3 (released last year) allows -j in MAKEFLAGS
15:34:12speachybut it's not clear that it can overriden from within a given make invocation.
15:34:13speachyso let's see
15:34:46speachyok, that does work

20:39:46fs-bluebotBuild Server message: Revision afec380a0d result: All green
20:42:21braewoodsspeachy: first we need to document what units we have at least one unit of
20:43:40speachyhmm, extend builds.pm to include this info maybe.
20:44:56braewoodsi'll put something on the forums
20:45:03braewoodswe may be able to get some help there

20:46:10braewoodsplease archive this thread, it has served its purpose
21:00
21:03:31speachyI'm going to try and hack together a proof of concept of a migrated wiki. foswiki, using a git backend for pages, and have it authenticate against our bug tracker.
21:06:21braewoodsso the wiki would be contained in gerrit somewhere?
21:06:35speachybidirectional, yeah

21:40:40braewoods_bilgus: you forgot the H120 and H110
21:40:51braewoodsand yh-820
21:40:59_bilgusI only filled out the ones I have
21:41:08braewoodsOh.
21:41:10_bilgusor you mean in the table
21:41:14braewoodstable
21:41:17_bilgusah
21:41:36braewoodsthere's also gigabeat F series
21:41:41braewoodsit's much more common than the S
21:44:09braewoodsthe X series isn't very common
21:44:17braewoodsbut it shares the same build as the F
21:44:21braewoodsso should be close enough
21:45:20braewoods_bilgus: also the h10 is split into the 20GB and 5/6GB ports
21:45:31braewoodsthough i suspect the 5/6GB is going to be pretty rare
21:45:41_bilgusI have h10 and h10 5gb
21:45:42braewoodsit has no real upgrade potential and its battery is weird
21:45:46braewoodsOh.
21:45:54braewoodsyou had your own H10 before I shipped mine?
21:46:02braewoodso.O
21:46:04_bilgusno I mean in my posession
21:46:06braewoodsoh
21:46:13_bilguslike speachys rocker too
21:46:32_bilgusI tested those devices so I marked them as works
21:46:41braewoodsand the S is from my reports here?
21:46:45_bilgusyep
21:46:48braewoodsok
21:47:00braewoodsi may get a cheap F20 to repair for testing
21:47:13braewoodsthere's quite a few
21:49:13_bilgusok updated
21:49:31_bilgusthat should get us some fill on the more common stuff
21:50:01_bilguseither saratoga or geaverts has the majority of these
21:50:29braewoodssome of these cannot be tested by buying them since they're no longer available
21:51:03_bilguswell we start removing stuff after a few rounds and I bet they come out
21:51:18_bilgusBUT I still have this!!
21:52:29braewoods_bilgus: what port is the creative zen vision m part of?
21:52:34braewoodsi don't recall reading that anywhere
21:54:42_bilguswhat port?
21:54:55braewoods_bilgus: you had it listed
21:55:11 Quit cockroach (Quit: leaving)
21:55:11braewoodsbut i don't recall reading about it anywhere in the docs
21:56:14braewoodsoh
21:56:17_bilgusok I just grepped the build page for the models
21:56:26braewoodshuh
21:56:33braewoodsit's probably an unfinished port with no docs
21:56:43_bilguscould be
21:56:58_bilgusbut I didnt see the giga F/x In there
21:57:19_bilgusthe build one are we no longer building for it or did I miss it
21:57:46braewoodshttps://build.rockbox.org/
21:57:49braewoodsit's right before the S
21:58:19braewoodsvision isn't even built there
21:59:26braewoodsoh found the info
22:00
22:00:02braewoodshttps://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CreativeZVMPort
22:00:05braewoodsyep it's half-finished
22:00:29braewoodswe may end up having to jettison these ports that were never finished
22:00:46braewoodsthat are like over 10 years old and no serious effort to make them useable
22:00:57_bilgusAs we should
22:01:15_bilgusits still in the tree if someone wants to pick it up
22:01:53braewoodsi'll grab an F20 and rebuild it
22:01:56*braewoods has the technology
22:02:07_bilguslol
22:02:22_bilgusat least the techs cheap now
22:03:26***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
22:21:29_bilgusamachronic (logs) looks like we can just rejigger cur->get_context_map and inject out own lookup table
22:22:01_bilgusso that part is easy the hard part will be the logic for a plugin
22:24:48_bilgusactually I might do that in lua
22:26:08speachyhmmmm. the dokuwiki git backend is only half-baked. damn..
22:26:34_bilguspotential upgrade path?
22:29:12_bilgusSo I'm thinking we can just make it search for Plugin.btn, wps.btn, etc and have it load them into a predefined table allocated by buflib
22:29:44 Quit dconrad (Quit: Connection closed)
22:30:49_bilgusor just one big table with 4 ints contxt, action, button, pre_btn
22:31:32_bilgusproblem is that order matters in action tables
22:31:39braewoodsspeachy: it's almost like we'd be better off with one of those site generators that works off a git repo
22:32:22speachybraewoods: yeah. the only thing a tradiitonal "wiki" brings us is web-based edits.
22:32:55braewoods_bilgus: i was thinking how we could reduce memory usage a bit with the image files
22:33:12braewoods_bilgus: ICO packs. one contiguous block for all the images
22:33:25braewoodsbut eh just a random idea
22:33:37speachyit seems a bit much to expect folks to grok git/gerrit to modify the "wiki" though.
22:34:28_bilgusthe wiki has terrible syntax
22:34:36speachythis one is ... awful
22:35:07speachymaintaining the history is nigh-impossible if it rquires migrating the syntax too.
22:35:09_bilguslike moreso than currently?
22:35:20speachyI mean the one we have now is awful
22:35:23_bilgus@braewoods
22:35:35speachy_any_ other choice is a massive net improvement. if only because we can use markdown or whatever
22:36:13_bilgusthe images are already stripped per file for icons and such are you saying to put them all together?
22:36:17speachyI'm thinking it may make more sense to just statically save the old site off to the side and nuke it from orbit. :D
22:36:32_bilgusstripe-ed
22:36:34_bilguslol
22:37:02_bilgusspeachy I agree we should archive as it sits and move on
22:39:40_bilgusI wonder if the vector file for the rb logo is smaller than the image probably not after you consider the polyrenderer
22:40:19braewoods_bilgus: well the larger your allocations the less fragmented
22:40:27braewoodsthough it's just an idea
22:40:40braewoodsi observed ICO stores BMPs unmodified that i can tell
22:40:52braewoodsso with some clever addressing hacks you could just load them all into RAM
22:41:06braewoodsas long as the pointers are right, it shouldn't matter
22:41:16braewoodsbut, alignment might be a problem then
22:41:32_bilgusidk only if you use a script to build the ico packs lol
22:41:47braewoodsquite doable, there's even tools to do so.
22:41:57braewoodsICOs can also contain PNGs but we have no means to manipulate those
22:42:05braewoodsand what would be the point?
22:42:10braewoodsrockbox doesn't really benefit
22:43:36_bilgusidk I think separate is better at least then you can unload them

22:45:51_bilgusI wonder how much ram is tied in images
22:46:40braewoods_bilgus: like 256K or less from what i was looking at in the default theme
22:47:14_bilgusi'm saying across the whole of rockbox
22:47:19braewoodsOh.
22:47:31braewoodsultimately if we're just decompressing to the same size regardless
22:47:37braewoodsPNG would only offer some disk saving
22:47:40braewoodsbut pretty moot
22:47:55_bilguslike is it 1 meg of images total
22:48:13_bilgusimage paths are a lot shorter to store
22:49:24_bilgusI think I want to start moving stuff out of core
22:49:33_bilguswe have voices in plugins
22:50:01_bilguswe can move some of the infrequently used stuff out and still have use of it
22:50:15_bilguslike the whole eq menu
22:50:36_bilguscar adapter mode
22:51:05_bilgusthese things can be handled with clever cmd line args to plugins
22:52:01_bilgusget core down to a Fat kernel
22:53:39_bilgushell the settings menus can even be moved out there like the debug menu though it is a bad example since it uses hacks
22:54:36_bilgusbut not the core settins
22:55:55_bilgusshortcuts menu is first on my list
22:57:57speachythe problem with scrapping the existing wiki is that it needs to be replaced with something. and that something is going to take a lot of work to build.
22:58:13speachycontent-wise, I mean
23:00
23:15:57speachyand there are 2275 pages.
23:22:32_bilgusphew
23:23:31 Quit Strife89 (Ping timeout: 268 seconds)
23:37:29braewoodswhat about the official wiki software?
23:37:32braewoodsnot a good fit?
23:37:56speachy"the official" ?
23:39:46braewoodsspeachy: mediawiki i thought?
23:39:56braewoodsit seemed to be what wikipedia uses
23:40:08braewoodsbut no idea
23:40:19braewoodsthere's a ton of wiki clones
23:40:52speachyyep. all of which suffer from the same problem −− getting the data out of our old site is ... lost case comes to mind
23:41:10braewoodsisn't that true of any CMS we use
23:41:25braewoodsthere's not really any standard way of exchanging this kind of data to my knowledge
23:41:33speachyyes and no.. this thing's sytax is ... unique
23:41:56braewoodsdo the newer versions have compatibility
23:42:17braewoodsi know you said you can't easily migrate
23:42:27braewoodsbut does it retain content compatibility?
23:42:50braewoodsmeaning can we just copy it over in some manner and just have it more or less work
23:43:07braewoodsthat's the main issue we face
23:43:07speachysort of. it's essentially a manual migration path
23:43:33braewoodstrue but it's looking like that is going to be involved no matter what
23:43:34speachybut there's no guarantee that the engine will be less of a resource hog
23:43:51speachyand stuff's gonna break.
23:43:52braewoodsdoes the new engine allow for caching?
23:44:00braewoodsthat's true no matter what
23:44:01speachythe old one already does
23:44:12speachyto the point where there's a cache for teh cache
23:44:16speachyand that's what keeps keeling over
23:44:52speachyfrom normal web crawler traffic
23:47:06braewoods._.
23:48:02braewoodsa static site generator CMS would solve most of these problems
23:48:06_bilgusgod the amount of links in that wiki
23:48:17braewoodswe don't edit the wiki all that often
23:48:21speachyyeah. and the migration I'm trying isn't preserving most of 'em.
23:48:28speachy... wtf.
23:49:13speachyand a whole lot of other brokenness too (thie converter was written around the original twiki syntax and is therefore a decade out of date)
23:49:21_bilgusI assume if you cut the link to the wiki from the mainpage the spiders would stop finding it?
23:49:46speachyexcept for all the cached links, sure
23:50:32_bilgusremove it and make it a random link for a few months
23:51:23speachyfoswiki has a 'publish' extension that will generate static html for a page or namespace.
23:52:04_bilgusthat might be a valid way to do it make the editable portion invite only
23:52:31_bilgusthen have a script to gen new content on the build farm
23:52:57_bilgusthen migrate
23:53:58_bilgusthen we can still edit stuff for a bit till it gets closed down and the last static set is the final
23:54:51_bilgusand by migrate I mean a clean new thing no old info
