11:35:11speachyhmm, there may be a way to safely kill power to those SD card adapters.
11:41:41speachybut as of e0df9952fd we can lose data on (user-triggered) shutdown if there are unflushed writes.
11:48:48speachythe shutdown path doesn't trigger flushes, just waits until storage_is_active() is false.

13:47:39speachyif someone has an SD card mod in their ipod5g or ipod6g and is feeling brave I have an experimental build to try out.
13:50:32speachyIt uses a different approach to flushing data out and putting the drive to sleep.

15:35:39henkhi, does anyone happen to know of anyone working on a port to “hidizs ap100”?
15:39:23speachynot that anyone's spoken up about. It's architecurally similar to the xduoo X3, but with a better screen.
15:43:04henkhm, ok. that sounds good. now I’m tempted to get my hands dirty … but I know I’m not (yet) knowledgable enough and don’t have the time and energy to get that done.
15:43:07henkthanks!
15:45:45henkother question: is https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/BuyersGuide.html uptodate and still makes sense to use? a few links are broken, it says »Prices last updated on February 6th, 2008«, and the models generally sound like they are from the 200Xs :D IOW: I’m looking for a nice device to buy (cheaply, off of ebay or something alike) with good support, any suggestions?
15:46:40speachyyour options are largly HDD-based ipods (plentiful and good aftermarket part support)
15:46:52speachyor if new, the surfans f20 / hifiwalker h2
15:47:38thanosengineI love my sansa clips
15:50:40speachythe clips are dying off as their onboard flash dies and the physical stuff eventually dies
15:51:09thanosengineyeah, I managed to stock up on the lil guys
15:51:30speachyI have one with a worn-out flash, and another that has a display that randomly doesn't work.
15:51:36***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
15:51:41thanosengineall of mine just have battery issues
15:52:17speachyfinding replacement batteries for non-ipods is a growing challenge too.
15:53:08henkhm, yeah, sansa had cool devices (:
15:53:26thanosengineyeah, I've been considering 3d-printing a new back case for the clip+ that adds some extra thickness for a battery intended to go in the charging case for a set of wireless earbuds
15:53:58thanosenginesome of them are about the right size, just twice as thick as the original
15:54:03henkwhat does “HDD-based” mean for ipods? is that actually “spinning rust”, as in computer storage “HDD” vs “SSD”?
15:54:16speachy"contained a hard disk when sold new"
15:54:16thanosenginealso would more than double the original battery capacity that way
15:54:31speachyie the "big" ones and the minis. nanos are flash-based.
15:54:54thanosengineyeah, early IPods literally had a little baby hard drive with actual spinning rust
15:55:07henkO_O
15:55:29henkwow, I’m stunned
15:55:48thanosenginethe things we did before cheap flash storage
15:56:46thanosenginethere were also plenty of devices that would play mp3 files off of optical media
15:57:22thanosenginefortunately nobody tried making small optical media for a jukebox style device
15:57:38 Quit thanosengine (Quit: WeeChat 4.4.2)
15:58:25henkoh, btw: the surfans and walker look really nice as well! the body seems similar to my hidizs, a bit fancier.
16:00
16:05:17henkspeachy: re ipod: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/TargetStatus mentions 3rd and 4th gen, the mini, nano 1st/2nd gen, video, classic. is that complete, correct and, uptodate or is there anything you would add? or dissuade from?
16:06:08speachygenerally speaking the ones to go for are the 5th and 6th gens. the mini 2nd gen too.
16:07:36speachynano 1g/2g work great but are flash-based, which is not (easily) replaceable.
16:08:03henkoh, they generally don’t support microsd, right?
16:08:13user890104also nanos have 1/2/4 GB flash, which is fairly low nowadays
16:08:44user890104nano3g abd later have 8GB, but still unsupported
16:09:00user890104and no iPod has microsd slot. blame Apple for that
16:10:40henkmeh, I was almost considering using an apple product …
16:10:55user890104that's why iFlash adapters are popular, they replace the spinning rust with 1-4 sd cards, mSATA or CF
16:13:23user890104I was working on a nano3g port, but the code was written 7 years ago and it's hard to adapt it to the current rockbox version
16:13:49user890104even with nano3g you get 8GB tops
16:14:15user890104there were unsuccessful 16GB mod attempts
16:14:44henkah, hmmm
16:15:22user890104flash replacement could be supported by rockbox, if the FTL/VFL part is figured out
16:16:36user890104there'd an ipod modding discord by lemon_jesus, PM me if you want to join
16:16:46user890104there's*
16:29:06henkah well, guess I’ll save up for a surfans or a hifi walker …
16:29:21henkuser890104: thanks, but no time and energy ATM to get into that

17:10:04speachyyes, no, and sorta. I think AGPTek did out a firmware image for their Rocker that had our bootloader in it.

17:27:01OlsroFR+speachy Hey, I have an iFlash modded 1TB iPod mini 2G. I am motivated to test your build
17:27:04OlsroFR(and battery benchmark it)

17:37:24OlsroFRI get 241023 at boot, is it the correct identifier for your build ? ID commit is 6ad2[...]
17:40:10speachyyep
17:40:44speachydisk info in the debug menu shoudl have an additional line about 'flush cache'
17:41:54speachy(if you could tell me what and the 'power mgmt' lines say)
17:42:11OlsroFRPower mgmt: unsupported
17:42:19OlsroFRFlush cache: extended
17:42:32OlsroFRFirmware: iFlash72
17:43:27speachybeyond that, try to beat up on it
17:44:49speachywhat iflash model? the original one that takes the full size SD card?
17:44:57OlsroFRiFlash CF
17:45:02speachy(or is it one of the generics?)
17:45:33OlsroFRNope, it is a real iFlash. With a sandisk 1 tb microSD on an SD adapter that is inserted into the iFlash CF
17:45:56OlsroFRthis is so overkill that even stock OS is struggling with it. Sometimes it just don't boot and give me the dead ipod icon
17:47:06OlsroFRI had to retry just 4 times just to be able to put disk mode on this. Before blaming Rockbox if it does not work well, I will probably also try to put a real 128GB fullsize SD card
17:48:03OlsroFRbut once it is connected on disk mode, file transfers are stable
17:48:42OlsroFRIs it normal that your custom build tells that power management is unsupported ? Will it try to shutdown ?
17:49:11OlsroFRif this does not try to shut it down, there will be no change and it should be stable (but battery hungry)
