+ or high, i mean + Well, we'll have a complete 112x64 pic in memory so we can make whatever we want + thanks, wavey + we write the complete bitmap + at least to start with + bagder: so why do we want vertical bytes? it ends up as a lot more bit flipping to get the pixels out + because that's how the lcd itself has them + makes faster updates + ok, so the 112x64 pixmap is vertically oriented? + each byte is 8 pixels "high", byte 0 is top left, byte 1 is 2nd left etc + ok. makes sense, then + I'm making three files now, lcd.c with generic lcd stuff, lcd-recorder.c that writes the bitmap to a recorder and lcd-x11.c that writes the bitmap to an x11 window + were staying c based for now correct?

+ daniel's ui simulator is coming along + he's got the same images appearing in X as will appear in the recorder lcd + yes but is it using the same layout ? + including characters, i think + layout? + i mean the way to set a pixel in LCD + you mean the API? + i think that's the idea + ah ok it's just at the high level + X is just an output alternative, the recorder's lcd is another + the API is the same + hopefully ;) + well, there are ways to put images at pixel coordinates + but ye must use a shifter table + 'cause shift instructions on SH1 are not smart enough + ah + so it is why i asked if this simulator works by simulating the LCD layout on X + but never mind, it is not an urgent thing to do :) + you are the only one here ? + at the moment, yep + the swedes are having lunch, it seems + and how many time will Bagder and Zagor be here in ? + yes it's normal + try again in an hour or so + okay see you all later +<-- alankrr has quit () +--> alankrr (jbcoax@srs07v-5-60.n.club-internet.fr) has joined #rockbox + are people still absent ?

+ with just 2 lines with only 11 characters + yes, then I'll make a small X11-windows 2 lines high, 11 chars wide. that's not too difficult + and each characters are seperate with at least 3 pixels + so you are very limited for fx + I know + but that's what we have, that's not anything I can do to change + for example, scrolling can only be done on basis of characters not pixel + yes + etc. + why is that difficult then? + because it is a character-LCD not a graphical LCD + I'm not planning to make one single unified API for both platforms + ok + anyway we need a begining for a start ;) + true + by the way, i know very well the SH1 + its advantages and disadvantages and its on-chip peripherals + that's useful indeed. I've did my share of SH1 assembler, but that was some 6 years ago now + :) + gcc doesn't generate very well code as ia32 does :( + let me explain to you + there are two possibility to branch + one is using jsr or jmp with a register containing the address to call or to jump + another one using bsr or bra with an 12-bit immediate offset + gcc don't generate brs nor bra + so it will use several registers to be able to use jsr or jmp + well, it should be possible to fix the gcc, even it its quite hard I figure + i tried with static functions close to a function which calls those static functions + without success + well there several example like this which explains why I prefer not to use C for all + for loops that is gonna make a difference, but for most code it is a penalty we can take, imho + so you mustn't be surprised to see a lot of asm in my source + i don't care for speed + but for space + you restrict the audience quite a lot by using asm, as not many people will be able to read it nor write it + low level functions can be asm + that's not a problem at all + i'm speaking about low functions, not for your GUI :) + screen updating code can be a complex as you wan + because people will access it from C + so we are okay + yup + indeed + hoorah! +* wavey chuckles +* Bagder smiles + it is not in my intention to do all the stuff in asm + what parts are gonna start (have you started) with? + LCD + USB + let me see my source + timer + lcd+backlight+led + where i'm using atomic operation to set or clear port A and B + so asm+c + a start of ATA + but i lost the main part in a harddisk crash + ata is C + what kind of lcd code do you have? + for JBP + i send you my source + please do + mail me at daniel@haxx.se + my usb2 card has arrived! + i don't send all my package + I'm mainly interested in the lcd parts sright now + just LCD parts and headers you could need + right, thanks + for JBR i don't try because i lose my JBR + so i cannot try it + I already have working code for the recorder + I'll make a little api for the player built on your code + did anyone make a table of all the available letters/characters on the player's LCD screen? + yes + it's on the notes page next to the recorders + it's not the recorder's, it's the player versions + the new and old have different charsets + there is difference between old and new text-lcd in JBP + i have the new one which is quite compliant with ascii table + aha, it could be clarified on the web page... + by the way i'm not sure about my tables :) + i never test them thoroughly + test? + what is that? ;) + and even worse for old lcd since i don't have one + btw, how do we read/fetch input from the keys currently? + in lcd.c there is two tables for characters translations + so our api can work with new and old taxt-lcd without changing our strings to display + for the moment i use a polling method + in fact it is the only way + i'm speaking about JBP (player) + fine enough, I would just like a defined api on how to do it + in the original firmware, they use the interrupt itu0 for polling keys + for JBR, it is much more complicated + i explain + you have two pins for two groups of fours keys + those two pins are analogic + so you need to scan periodically their pins and translate their value to determine which key is pressed or released + a way it is to use the interrupt ADC in scan mode which gives us the value and will translate them in a more practical bitmap or somethig like it + another way is to use the dma to scan those pins and generate the interrupt dei to translate + I don't think you understand what I want ;-) + ok you want for player or for recorder + ? + both preferably, but one at a time is fine too + i just have for player + ok + as you can see it isn't a generic API for keyboard + but you know where to poll them + is there anything that prevents us from creating a "generic" api for this? + no of course + i was doing that in key.c but it is not my priority in fact + so we are free to do so + if you need info i can help you to do so + because since I want to "simulate" this on X11, it gets easier if I can simulate the API + yes but we need first to know what we need + and quite now I'm still unsure about it + so I don't have a clear API for keyboard + yes, that sounds logical ;-) + keyboard event to handle for exapmle ? + are you using events ? + x11 events? + you know like in X or Windows or in TurboVision (if you knew that ;) + yes, this is x11 it uses events + something which can represent input or output event to handle by several entities + i'm speaking about our final rockbox + I'm not ;-) + if you want an API + I only want a simple input api + to simulate + it could be changed or improved later on + well there is two possibilities + using keybitmap + or using key buffer + to use a key buffer + can you send me your file so i can see the way to handle UI ? + its in CVS, there are many files + its really simple: lcd_update() updates the screen + oh that's true ??? ok i go and download them + lcd_string() outputs a string + lcd_position() sets the "cursor" + so far + direct actions on lcd ? + or using buffer ? + no, they manipulate the buffer and lcd_update() writes to the lcd + so why lcd_update, ok + but for the player I can't see any point in keeping a buffer + by the way, isn't it Linus which has started something about fat32 ? + i lost 3/4 of my works on it and i'm very down to redo all + the web page says Alan, is that you? ;-) + yes, he has some code for it + yes but i did have a crash which causes loss of files which are exceeding 4 KB + ok. we'll reassign that for linus + in fact my fat32 was tighly coupled with ata + so what should I put efter your name, alan? :) + Zagor: you could modify my "planning" to "partly working" + ok + name of your mudule, Badger ? + uisimulator + well i would like to be able to use my serial as i could do before the crash + it would be more easier to test my ATA + if Linus can pass me his source i can adapt or modify it to use ATA + i'll tell him + we want Linus's source in CVS too + yes + it would speed my work instead of redoing all + ok got it (uisimulator) + cool your headers ;) + it just does one lcd_string() and then it does lcd_update() and it shows the string + hehe, thanks to figlet really + the figlet man :-) +--> linus (~linus@labb.contactor.se) has joined #rockbox + be aware with shift operation + lcd-recorder.c is the recorder-versions, lcd-x11.c is X stuff and lcd.c is generic + Hi folks + hi linus + ok + hey ho Linus + I'll dig up my FAT32 source as soon as I get home + you don't plan to have a buffer greater than screen for having vertical or horizontal scrolling on screen ?
