15:05:18j--r[web]Hi, just opened up a Grundig MPixx 1000 Series and found out that it uses a M7108 A1 by Ali Corporation, does anybody have experience with this Chip or a datasheet or something like this?
15:22:21dconradquestion: in the keymap parsing code in action.c, is the intent to prioritize actions before "falling through" to the next context?
15:23:02dconradbecause it doesn't seem to do that... in fact, it seems to prioritize the "fall-through" contexts
15:34:04dconrador maybe it's a quirk of the eros q?
15:35:15 Quit sv34we3s (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
15:46:57dconradno, wait I think its a small bug in the yesno screen code

16:13:52speachydconrad: the yesno code has been abused well beyond its original purpose, so it's probably not surprising that there are bugs in there
16:15:36speachyj−−r[web]: not that I'm aware of. Given that ALi was acquired by nvidia 15 years ago, the odds of finding anything are.. unlikel.
16:16:34j--r[web]speachy I'm currently searching a bit with google, maybe I could find a way to dump/flash the firmware as a starting point
16:17:11speachythey seem to have either used 80386SX or 8051 cores in their embedded SoCs..
16:18:36j--r[web]Looks like M7108 is more likely an ARM CPU...
16:18:59speachydconrad: and any issues in it likely exist in other modal screens too. like what's used in the USB mode prompt..
16:19:35dconradyeah, all I was trying to do was change the "yes" action from play to play(release), but it would take play as cancel
16:20:07dconradI discovered the ACTION_UNKOWN action wasn't being ignored
16:20:20dconrad(which might be on purpose?)
16:21:17dconradhowever... now the USB mode prompt is very unreponsive with play(release), all other prompts seem fine
16:30:22 Quit j--r[web] (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
16:36:41dconradspeachy: is it intentional to treat unknown actions as a "no" in the yes/no prompt?
16:37:06dconradI could see an argument either way

17:36:40fs-bluebotGerrit review #3425 at https://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/c/rockbox/+/3425 : Yes/No Screen: Ignore unknown actions by Dana Conrad
17:38:55mendel_munkisdo all our targets use IEEE 754 floating point numbers?
17:39:55 Join sv34we3s [0] (~shorty@097-088-119-211.res.spectrum.com)
17:42:44gevaertsmendel_munkis: The "traditional" targets don't have an FPU. The core and all of the codecs are pure fixed point, although some plugins do FP I believe
17:42:59_bilgusdconrad, the main issue is that the key code is non blocking
17:43:36dconrad_bilgus, I'm not sure what you mean?
17:43:50_bilgusit'll ptentially go through that switch 4 times in the case of hold or release
17:44:33mendel_munkisI am working on an existing FP plugin, and I wanted to make sure that if I do something which relys on the format it won't break on some random target.
17:44:36_bilgusI think I left some comments in there about it
17:44:39dconradso something else is taking processor time away from it?
17:44:59_bilgusor you have a better match in a lower context
17:45:29dconradwell, it works, it's just that it doesn't register anything sometimes
17:45:46dconradif there was a match at all, it would consider it a "no", right?
17:45:50_bilguslike this you have key1 and key1_rel but after fall through it sees another action that is key1 and button_none then it'll return that
17:46:26_bilgusthat wouldn't be handled here
17:46:55 Quit Acou_Bass (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
17:46:57_bilgusyou'd have to check how that handler implements it
17:47:20_bilgusliek does it even look for ACTION_UNKNOWN or only NO and STD_CANCEL
17:48:26__builtinmendel_munkis: sdl plugins use hard float on the gigabeast
17:48:41__builtinseveral also use softfloat
17:48:50__builtinat least puzzles and sdl
17:49:39_bilgusthe keymaps can care about order of actions within a context too in some particular circumstance that I can't recall ATM unless I managed to fix it (might have) been too long..
17:50:53_bilgusdconrad, there is also a weird bug in timeouts with one of those action functions hold on I ran into it in lua
17:51:28 Join Acou_Bass [0] (~Acou_Bass@cpc95746-bolt17-2-0-cust360.10-3.cable.virginm.net)
17:51:43dconradok, it just seems weird that it's only unresponsive on the USB prompt
17:53:39_bilguseh there are events on USB
17:53:53_bilgusso it sends out a message asking everyone to release the disk
17:54:19_bilguscould be hanging there waiting or could be a bunch of spam in the button queue
17:54:43_bilgusshould be able to ask it how many event are in the queue
17:55:42_bilgusit could be the timeout of get action too I can't find it atm but if you try to use (0) the timeout_NO_BLOCK i think
17:56:33_bilguslets see what was the bug I think it skips events maybe
17:58:05_bilgusIDK I saw it the other day when I was working on lua so I might run into the comment about hwat the bug is
17:58:37dconradalright, if it was skipping events that does sound like it would explain it
17:58:59dconradlike it reliably gets the first event but then doesn't get the second so reliably?
17:59:20dconradI'll try a timeout of 0 and just see what happens

21:51:34dconradno worries, actually if you want to take a look at g#3425 again, it's working really well for me
21:52:20dconradbut I don't know if I'm off-base or not for other devices
21:55:12_bilgushmm in yesno.c the timeout would throw a timeout_event which would fall to the default: switch statement
21:55:32_bilgusthat shows the default handler lets see what it does
21:55:59dconradwouldn't defaulting to no work out anyway?
21:57:34_bilguswell that event on usb plug needs to be replied to to even connect to the USB

21:58:07_bilgusAH
21:58:18_bilgusi think you have yourself a race
21:58:24dconrad?
21:59:11_bilgusthe yes no prompt is popped on USB plug and the yes no needs to release the event
22:00
22:00:24dconradI'm not sure I follow
22:00:48dconradshouldn't it be ok to wait for user input to allow USB or not?
22:01:02_bilgusof course
22:02:15_bilgusso i'm thinking what is going on is you are sitting waiting for an event from the user but default: will be serviced
22:02:37_bilgusbecause the event system sends out sys_ events
22:02:51dconradbut then wouldn't it default to no while waiting for a "real" user event?
22:03:12dconradwhich, according to testing I've done here, it definitely doesn't do
22:04:00dconrador, you mean with a timeout of HZ*5 ?
22:04:03***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
22:04:44_bilgusYESNO_USB i think
22:05:45_bilgussee now I need to look at the usb prompt part
22:08:39_bilgusdconrad, try the original yes no prompt with the usb part commented out if you would
22:09:32_bilgusmaybe its spamming the queue
22:09:44dconradjust like, master branch but comment out lines 209 and 210?
22:09:59_bilgussince the yes no prompt is holding up the USB connect
22:10:38dconradalright hold on, I gotta go start the other computer back up
22:11:00_bilgus if(default_event_handler(button) == SYS_USB_CONNECTED)
22:11:01_bilgus return(YESNO_USB);
22:11:03_bilgusthose
22:11:27_bilgusthe other thing might be the need to catch the timeout explicitly
22:11:50_bilguslet me see what that event is I can never rem the macro
22:12:36_bilguscase SYS_TIMEOUT: Return NO
22:13:47_bilgusI wonder what happens if another yesno prompt is up and then the usb plug prompt gets called
22:14:06dconradnow there's a condition I haven't checked
22:14:48_bilgusI just put in a lua plugin that does the key code stuff
22:15:06_bilgusitll show those events
22:15:25dconradalright, so I'm on master, gonna comment out lines 209 and 210 like you say, and set the ACTION_YESNO_ACCEPT to button release
22:15:43_bilgusand you can look at the code its kinda pseudo fun house reflection of what happens on the c side in RB
22:16:28_bilgusI think the yes no prompt is probably outsmarting us
22:19:10dconradso with those two lines commented out, it behaves the same, it's unresponsive to a button release
22:19:22dconradno change, basically
22:20:00dconradactions that cancel it are responsive
22:20:03_bilgushmm I would have figured thast was the issue
22:20:39dconradI mean, like I say it works when I make the get_action timeout non-blocking
22:20:42_bilgusoh the keymap
22:21:03_bilgusACTION_YESNO_ACCEPT, BUTTON_PLAY, BUTTON_PLAY|BUTTON_REL,
22:21:28_bilgusno I think thats backwards
22:21:33dconradaren't BUTTON_PLAY and BUTTON_PLAY|BUTTON_REL backwards?
22:21:34dconradyeah
22:22:01dconradright now I have ACTION_YESNO_ACCEPT, BUTTON_PLAY|BUTTON_REL, BUTTON_NONE
22:22:07_bilgusACTION_YESNO_ACCEPT, BUTTON_PLAY|BUTTON_REL, BUTTON_PLAY
22:22:10dconradwhich works with my gerrit patch
22:22:25_bilgusthat pre button though
22:22:45dconradI'm pretty sure I tried it every which way, but I can change it and try again
22:22:59_bilgusits going to tell the action system to wait to make a decision
22:23:15_bilgusad you just expanded the key stuff
22:23:28_bilgusits touching new areas
22:24:50_bilgusor I should say by having the prebutton it tells it it doesn't need to wait
22:26:30dconradok, with those two lines still commented out and with the pre button, it just cancels out of the prompt as soon as I press play
22:26:42dconradwhich was the reason for my whole quest here in the first place haha
22:26:48_bilgusweird
22:27:05_bilgusneed to look at the keymap
22:27:21dconradI think I figured it out though
22:27:29dconradtook a while to read the code, but
22:27:34_bilgusthere have been issues with order
22:28:18dconradwell, when the get_action() function can't find a valid action, it seems to return the ACTION_UNKNOWN action
22:29:03dconradwhich was, as far as guisyncyesno_run's switch statement is concerned, is an action other than ACTION_YESNO_ACCEPT
22:29:13dconradso it cancels out
22:29:22_bilgusyep the selective action stuff
22:29:34_bilgusok so that and the keymap fix it then
22:29:47dconradthat's why I added the case ACTION_UNKNOWN: to just continue into another loop
22:29:59dconradin other words, ignore it and keep looking
22:30:19dconradyeah
22:31:56_bilgustthe order 'bugs' they aren't bugs persay
22:32:23_bilgusbut the order within that list matters as well as the fall through order
22:32:37dconradyeah, I kinda figured out you can exploit them to be very specific, but you need to know the rules
22:32:59_bilgusyeah its why i'm stuck on that plugin atm
22:33:02dconradin this case it didn't really seem to matter much once I made it ignore ACTION_UNKOWN
22:33:39_bilgushow to best allow that without the user FUBARing the context list
22:34:02_bilgusi'm thinking drop downs and checking for invalid combos
22:34:30_bilgusor like linit them based on the entered values
22:34:41_bilguslimit
22:34:53dconradlet me try my patch though to see what happens when a prompt comes up on top of another
22:35:07dconradI didn't even think to check, quite the corner case though
22:35:27_bilgusindeed but it has been an issue before with other things
22:36:52dconradin any case I kinda doubt my patch changes the behavior of that condition
22:37:08dconradbut we'll see
22:38:16_bilgusyou should look at the commit https://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/c/rockbox/+/1674
22:38:38_bilgusidk if the original code is clearer than after my rewrite
22:39:36dconradok, so with it warning me that I'm going to erase the dynamic playlist, I plugged in USB and nothing happened. I'm going to hit ok...
22:39:39_bilgusoh wait theres even older
22:39:56dconradand it just immediately asks if I want to enter mass storage mode. I hit ok...
22:40:06dconradand it comes up in mass storage mode
22:40:09dconradseems ok?
22:40:29dconradoop, stack underflow... viewportmanager
22:40:42dconradafter I unmounted from the computer and unplugged usb
22:40:58dconradlet me try that on master
22:41:05_bilgusah
22:41:32_bilgusso it popped the vp 2x
22:42:11_bilgusit'll still do it
22:42:21dconradyeah I kinda figure so
22:43:02_bilgusthat means yesno needs to be aware of its own destruction
22:43:27dconradI mean, it did wait for me to input something before going to the next prompt though
22:43:38dconradso they were queued up
22:43:38_bilgusor really the caller but eh I don't think its ready for that
22:43:58dconradok, one more time
22:44:20dconradoh, it cancelled out of both
22:44:30dconradas soon as I put in the USB plug
22:44:34_bilguswell its displaying the yesno, it gets overwritten then kills them both but there is only one
22:44:43dconraddid not see that coming
22:44:50_bilgusso the bug covered the other bug
22:45:22_bilgusmmmm bc the usb canceled the first one maybe
22:45:26dconradhaha wouldn't be the first time I've uncovered a bug
22:45:41dconradoh, yeah because of that if statement I commented out earlier
22:45:52dconradmaybe?
22:46:20_bilgusI've a buddy that I would hand my programs to to test he would find bugs in seconds after handing him the device
22:46:53dconradhaha yeah I have a tendency to find bugs immediately at work too
22:47:06dconradnever trust a dev to bugcheck their own work
22:47:25dconradsame with all engineers, really... too ginger with their own creations
22:47:58dconradso in any case, do you think my changes are sane?
22:48:08_bilgusnah its just you'd code for it if you had thought of it
22:48:39_bilgussure but its just going to use more power
22:48:51_bilgusand its not fixing the underlying buf
22:48:56_bilgusbug
22:49:18dconradthe timeout thing you mean?
22:49:26_bilgusby not blocking you are just sopinning in that loop instead of allowing power savings
22:49:34dconradhm, I see
22:49:35_bilgusyes
22:49:51_bilgusnot all processors use it but quite a few do
22:51:10dconradso you figure get_action() should actually need a bugfix for this?
22:52:17_bilgusno
22:52:24_bilgusthe yesno prompt
22:53:05 Quit Soap (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
22:53:05 Quit Soap_ (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
22:53:20_bilgusits not reentrant I think
22:54:08_bilgusthe other part is your original issue thats fiuxed by the keymap prebutton and action_unknown with timeout HZ*5?
22:54:38_bilgusor is it still predicated on NO_BLOCK
22:55:39dconradthe action_unknown allowed it to accept a button_rel action at all
22:56:04dconradthe prebutton didn't seem to make a difference once I added action_unknown
22:56:25dconradand then not blocking the timeout fixed unresponsiveness on usb prompt
22:57:01dconradif that makes sense
22:57:15_bilgusI mean it should be pretty close to just as responsive as blocking/timeout/no block
22:57:39_bilgusfrome human time perspective
22:57:43dconradyeah
22:57:53_bilgusit still catches the stuff in the queue
22:58:04dconradbut what it does is it just seems to ignore it, try it a bunch of times and eventually it will go through
22:58:40dconradno block makes it work first time, every time
22:58:56_bilgusok do your action unknown and the keymap as a single commit
22:59:18dconradalright
22:59:35_bilguswait a bit on the no block
23:00
23:00:05_bilgusi'm kinda on a bunch of things atm but give me some time and i'll investigate that
23:00:21_bilgusits probably related to that lua omne
23:00:27dconradwhat about moving the usb init?
23:00:56dconradthat was another bug my changes uncovered
23:01:07_bilgusyeah that too
23:01:11dconradalright
23:04:46_bilgusmm SYS_TIMEOUT
23:05:41_bilguswell I guess it'd get caught by default and return NO
23:06:45_bilgusproblem is there are other SYS events too
23:07:21dconradok, I pushed the new patchset
23:07:29_bilgusso it probably needs to check for a SYS even flag before it returns NO
23:07:49dconradand noted the known issue in the commit message
23:11:03dconradthanks for taking the time to look through it, I'm gonna get out of here
23:11:42_bilgusok ill wait to push it till you are around
23:11:52dconradalright, sweet
23:12:06 Quit dconrad ()
