Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2004 17:45:48 +0200 Hi, my disk is accessed every half second - I can see the red light blinking without interruption and can hear that disk is running all the time. This happens with all versions that I've tested (rockbox 2.2, daily build, bleeding edge etc. from different dates). Testing this and that I found out that [F1] -> Info -> Debug -> View mp3 thread tells me the following: read: 7C000 write: 7BFFE swap: 7BFFE playing: 1 playable: C5F62 unswapped: 0 ################################################ ################################################# wm: DA6DF - BE000 Please note that the second bar reaches until the right end of the archos screen (I suppose that this represents the internal buffer but of course I'm not sure about it because I'm not a rockbox developer). *Sometimes* some times later the second bar goes back to ############################# and the upper bar then changes over time from from ################################################# to ############################################ to ####################################### to ################################## to ############################# to ######################## then the disk spins up and the upper bar is fullfilled again till to the right end. I also watched the "Disk spinup time" (Hitachi 60GB disk) which changes from 0 to 2800 and some other values inbetween. I could see the the filling state of the second bar does *not* depend on the current value of the disk spinup time. I have the obscure feeling that this occures during track change(?) My mp3 files are coded from 192kBit to 320kBit. As an effect of this battery runs out of power after less than 2 hours. When running Archos firmware (F1 + ON at boot) disk is accessed every 1 minute and battery runs out of power after 16 hours.
