#rockbox log for 2021-06-20

00:06:31braewoods__builtin: yea, ~ doesn't get expanded in some cases
00:07:05braewoodsusually it only gets expanded when it is the first character of an argument

00:20:39__builtinhmm, that would be nice to fix
00:21:12__builtinwhat is the ${i#*=} syntax in rockboxdev.sh?
00:26:20__builtinand now I'm getting an error in running tools/scramble
00:26:33__builtinit's perror'ing a "Success" for some reason
00:27:18__builtinon tools/scramble.c:507
00:28:04__builtinwhich is happening since rockbox.bin is zero bytes long
00:30:17__builtinwhich is happening because rockbox.elf has no sections (but a valid ELF header)
00:34:31__builtinah, `make veryclean` fixed it
00:34:44__builtinjust a plain `clean` didn't cut it
01:00
01:13:25braewoodshm interesting
01:13:58braewoodsi think i'm going to expand the auto-ROLO so i can implement an alternative that may work better than direct file manipulation
01:14:10braewoodsfor MTP mode anyway
01:14:23braewoodsdepends how my ZIP code works out
01:33:43***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
02:00
02:12:58braewoodsoh that's an idea
02:13:21braewoodssome people like being able to play music from ZIP archives
02:13:36braewoodsi wonder how hard it'd be to treat ZIP file like a RO directory
02:29:55braewoodsthen again this is a bad idea

11:04:10braewoods_bilgus: i think i found a way to reduce the footprint of a few bootloaders by about 250 bytes.
11:04:31braewoodsthe ones using the mi4 crc32 algorithm
11:05:30braewoodsi'm thinking of adding a smaller version of this crc algorithm because I need it for my own code

21:48:59_bilgusbraewoods assuming the same output?
21:49:14braewoods_bilgus: i think so.
21:49:20braewoodsi'll have to investigate.
21:49:35braewoodsbut i noticed the crc32 function used seems identical to the one used in ZIP files
21:49:46braewoodsand there's more space optimized versions available
21:49:51braewoodssmaller lookup table
21:50:31_bilgusIIRC our initial coefficient was different
21:50:39braewoodsfor the mi4 one?
21:50:43_bilgusseed rather
21:51:05braewoodsyea, but if i can find one that works with a seed of 0 like the existing one
21:51:11braewoodsi'll try that
21:51:41braewoodsin any case i was wanting to make a reuseable version of the crc algorithm i need for ZIP
21:52:02braewoodsit's not much but in some cases every byte counts
21:52:20braewoodsi'll do some tests and see what I find
21:52:48braewoodslet me see what ports even use MI4
21:52:54braewoodsthink it's all pp
21:53:20braewoodsinteresting
21:53:21braewoodsyea
21:53:50braewoods_bilgus: i'll see if this more compact CRC algorithm is identical to the existing one
21:53:56braewoodsin terms of output
21:54:07braewoodsi found it while researching small ones
21:54:18braewoodsand i found it shares the same coefficient as the mi4 one
21:54:28braewoodsso i thought maybe this can be added as a replacement for that
21:54:39braewoodssave some space since bootloaders usually need it
21:55:06braewoodsit uses 16 byte lookup table vs 256

22:19:52_bilgusyeah trading for speed then
22:20:45braewoods_bilgus: our general crc32 algorithm already does that
22:21:13braewoods_bilgus: so, bad idea?
22:21:28braewoodsi was trying to find another source of the crc32 algorithm i need
22:22:50_bilgusIDK won't really matter as I doubt the speed difference will be noticed assuming the same output
22:23:15_bilgusyou wouldn't want to block an older bootloader from upgrade
22:23:25braewoodsyea
22:24:22 Quit dconrad (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
22:33:47braewoods_bilgus: welp, the existing mi4 is identical in algorithm. it only differs from the zip one in two ways...
22:34:06braewoodsthe starting crc value is different and the zip one xors the results with 0xffffffff
22:34:21braewoodsotherwise a lot of code we could reuse
22:35:26_bilgusis it compatible in license?
22:35:48braewoodsthe original source says it came from zlib
22:35:58braewoodsso probably, i'll see if i can found that in zlib
22:36:25braewoodsi was just testing the existing one we have in git already
22:36:37braewoodsgiven a few minor changes it produces the same crc as zip
22:37:26braewoodsthough
22:37:37braewoodswith us dropping the old archos... do we need to be this stingy with space?
22:37:47braewoodshow much RAM did the archos even have?
22:38:57_bilgusthe clip, clip+ and maybe fuze v1 v2
22:39:27_bilgusthat bootloader is within 100? bytes
22:39:42braewoodsok, so leave the main crc function alone
22:39:45braewoodsgot it
22:39:50_bilgusI think I left that much last time

22:52:43braewoods_bilgus: https://github.com/jibsen/tinf/blob/master/src/crc32.c
22:53:07braewoodsthis is what i was considering using. tinf has a space optimized version of the same algorithm. it just needs a few tweaks to act like our existing one.
22:53:22braewoodsremove the xor at the end and change the starting value
22:56:53_bilgusyeah it has like 3 less ops than our current

22:57:49braewoodsi'm just trying to give us more room to work on our bootloaders
22:57:55braewoodsthis seemed like a way to help that
23:00
23:00:39_bilgusjust lut supply the table in such a way
23:01:13braewoods_bilgus: eh?
23:01:40_bilgusthe lut can just be supplied by the caler
23:01:43_bilguscaller
23:01:51braewoodsh right
23:01:53braewoodsyea
23:02:33braewoodsi'm thinking of adding this other version to our existing crc32.c and call it crc32r or so since it's the reversed variant of our current polynomial
23:02:57_bilgusah I was puzzling over that on the calc just now
23:03:25braewoodswould be useful anywhere else we need the same crc32 algorithm.
23:06:54braewoodsoh wait
23:07:14braewoodsthe space savings is more significant
23:07:24braewoodsclose to 1K because it's a 4 byte element type
