Latest Rockbox not working on Nano

[tvg]

test1 works perfectly.

[Llorean]

What about test3?

[tvg]

Test3 works not.

I investigated already that 14019 doesn't works, so 14034 cannot work...

[Llorean]

It's a modified 14034, it's not a straight build. Did you actually try it, or are you assuming it won't work because you know 14034 doesn't work?

[tvg]

I have actually tested it. I'm honest.
It skipped playback (didn't work), I entered "about" menu, noted that it was 14034 and could not exit from that menu - the Ipod completely hanged.


14010 doesn't work too. Next step is 14005.

[Llorean]

What do you mean "skipped playback"?

Also, for the rest of the people, I still need you to test, TVG's problem doesn't have identical symptoms to yours.

[Farpenoodle]

Could both of you tell me the version of the original firmware currently on your device?

As well, farpenoodle, have you ever installed iPod Linux?

Never. At least not on my Nano. Running 1.3.1 here as well.

Have used my r13762 build for a while and my popping and skipping issues seem to have disappeared as well. I'll test the modified builds soon.

[tvg]

Sorry, english is not native for me.

"Skipped" - i mean it plays 2-3-5-7 seconds, then skip to next track (failing to play the current, I assume). Completely chaotic behavior. It cannot play continiously and hangs after some time, if in menu. Sometimes, earlier, while I still used headphones to test it, there were LOUD audible glitches.

It's fun, that the problem was introduced in time I bought first IPOD (used) for me.

P. S.: I will try Ipod linux a bit later (if you asked me).

[Llorean]

No, don't bother trying iPod Linux. At the time, the most obvious similarity between iPods experiencing the problem was previous installation of iPL. It seems more likely that it's firmware version 1.3 / 1.3.1.

Amiconn suggested it may be an  IDE timing issue, which is what we're attempting to discover right now. If this is the case, there should be a couple possible solutions depending upon which direction is chosen (and whether the initialization from 1.2 can tell us what to change).

[tvg]

Good.
I will discover exactly and tell you.

Also please note, that with 14019 build I have listened 2-3 mp3 albums very vell, it faults only on flac.
And IDE? Doesn't it have only MMC part?

[Llorean]

It's not MMC. It has flash for storage, but makes use of an IDE interface if I understand correctly. I believe this is because of the integrated hardware in the PortalPlayer chipset, but this isn't something I'm certain about.

[tvg]

14006 doesn't work.

I thought if "Clean up PP502x CPU clock setup code and use the full 80MHz when boosted." was introduced in 14003, then 14003 won't work, but it works.

14004 is just "Add some svn:ignore properties. ", is this the thing that brokes playback?

[Llorean]

14004 is "Clean up PP502x CPU clock setup code and use the full 80MHz when boosted.", why do you think that's 14003?

[tvg]

Really? Oh, this means I missed and shifted

And, bingo, 14004 does not work.
And 14003 does work.
So...

I assume the problem is in http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/firmware/target/arm/system-pp502x.c?r1=14003&r2=14004

rockbox-test1.zip seems to work. Haven't tried it enough to see if my other issues are still present.

rockbox-test3.zip is just whacky.

I tried to boot it three times. First time it stayed at the logo for some time and then showed a corrupted messagebox full of chinese characters. Probably should have taken a picture.

Second time it got stuck on "Scanning disk"

Third time, this is what I got:
