iBasso DX50/DX90: Major code cleanup and reorganization.

2015-02-02T20:57:55+00:00

Reorganization

- Separated iBasso devices from PLATFORM_ANDROID. These are now standlone
  hosted targets. Most device specific code is in the
  firmware/target/hosted/ibasso directory.
- No dependency on Android SDK, only the Android NDK is needed.
  32 bit Android NDK and Android API Level 16.
- Separate implementation for each device where feasible.

Code cleanup

- Rewrite of existing code, from simple reformat to complete reimplementation.
- New backlight interface, seperating backlight from touchscreen.
- Rewrite of device button handler, removing unneeded code and fixing memory
  leaks.
- New Debug messages interface logging to Android adb logcat (DEBUGF, panicf,
  logf).
- Rewrite of lcd device handler, removing unneeded code and fixing memory leaks.
- Rewrite of audiohw device handler/pcm interface, removing unneeded code and
  fixing memory leaks, enabling 44.1/48kHz pthreaded playback.
- Rewrite of power and powermng, proper shutdown, using batterylog results
  (see http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/1047/).
- Rewrite of configure (Android NDK) and device specific config.
- Rewrite of the Android NDK specific Makefile.

Misc

- All plugins/games/demos activated.
- Update tinyalsa to latest from https://github.com/tinyalsa/tinyalsa.

Includes

- http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/993/
- http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/1010/
- http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/1035/

Does not include http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/1007/ due to new backlight
interface and new option for hold switch, touchscreen, physical button
interaction.

Rockbox needs the iBasso DX50/DX90 loader for startup, see
http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/1099/

The loader expects Rockbox to be installed in /mnt/sdcard/.rockbox/. If
/mnt/sdcard/ is accessed as USB mass storage device, Rockbox will exit
gracefully and the loader will restart Rockbox on USB disconnect.

Tested on iBasso DX50.
Compiled (not tested) for iBasso DX90.
Compiled (not tested) for PLATFORM_ANDROID.

Introducing Targets iBasso DX50 & iBasso DX90

2014-09-18T16:19:01+00:00

The port to for this two targets has been entirely developped by Ilia Sergachev (alias Il or xzcc). His source
can be found at https://bitbucket.org/isergachev/rockbox . The few necesary modifications for the DX90 port
was done by headwhacker form head-fi.org. Unfortunately i could not try out the final state of the DX90 port.
The port is hosted on android (without java) as standalone app. The official Firmware is required to run this port.
Ilia did modify the source files for the "android" target in the rockbox source to make the DX port work. The work I did
was to separate the code for DX50 (&DX90) from the android target.
On this Target Ilia used source from tinyalsa from AOSP. I did not touch that part of the code because I do not understand it.
What else I changed from Ilias sources besides the separation from the target "android":
* removed a dirty hack to keep backlight off
* changed value battery meter to voltage battery meter
* made all plugins compile (named target as "standalone") and added keymaps
* i added the graphics for the manual but did not do anything else for the manual yet
* minor optimizations

known bugs:
* timers are slowed donw when playback is active (tinyalsa related?)
* some minor bugs

Things to do:
* The main prolem will be how to install the app correctly. A guy called DOC2008 added a CWM (by androtab.info) to the
official firmware and Ilia made a CWM installation script and a dualboot selector (rbutils/ibassoboot, build with
ndk-build). We will have to find a way to install rockbox in a proper way without breaking any copyrights.
Maybe ADB is an option but it is not enable with OF by default. Patching the OF is probably the way to go.
* All the wiki and manual

to build:
needed: android ndk installed, android sdk installed with additional build-tools 19.1.0 installed

./tools/configure
select iBasso DX50 or iBasso DX90
make -j apk

the content of rockbox.zip/.rockbox needs to be copied to /system/rockbox/app_rockbox/rockbox/ (rockbox app not needed)
the content of libs/armeabi to /system/rockbox/lib/ (rockbox app needed)

The boot selector is needed as /system/bin/MangoPlayer and the iBasso app as /system/bin/MangoPlayer_original. There
is also the "vold" file. The one from OF does not work with DX50 rockbox (DX90 works!?), the one from Ilia is necessary.

Until we have found a proper way to install it, it can only be installed following the instructions of Ilia on his
bitbucket page, using the CWM-OF and his installation script package.

storage: Add STORAGE_HOSTFS

2014-02-23T19:23:51+00:00

CONFIG_STORAGE & STORAGE_HOSTFS allows to use parts of the storage_* API to be
compiled for application targets without compiling storage.c or performing
actually raw storage access. This is primarily to enable application targets to
implement HAVE_MULTIVOMULE/HAVE_HOTSWAP (in a later commit).

SIMULATOR uses the same mechanism without explicitely defining STORAGE_HOSTFS
(how to add a bit to an existing preprocessor token?).

android: implement system_exception_wait and system_reboot, so that the panicf() screen can be exited.

android: Add facility for java code to wait native code to be ready.

2012-03-22T19:44:52+00:00

Especially when unzipping rockbox.zip, the native code can be initialized
a lot later than the java code. The java code needs to be prevented from
accessing rockbox structures (e.g. current_tick, event queues) before they're
ready.

This commit adds wait_rockbox_ready() and fixes dodgy behavior of starting
rockbox via widget play button, headset remote buttons or multimedia keys.
Also fixes wrong small list items before first redraw.

android: move pcm_shutdown() to audiohw_close() now that it's properly called from powermgmt.

2012-01-04T00:10:47+00:00

git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@31551 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657

Rework powermgmt to enable code re-use on appliation and sims.

2012-01-03T23:44:38+00:00

* Introduce CONFIG_BATTERY_MEASURE define, to allow targets (application)
to break powermgmt.c's assumption about the ability to read battery voltage.
There's now additionally percentage (android) and remaining time measure
(maemo). No measure at all also works (sdl app). If voltage can't be measured,
then battery_level() is king and it'll be used for power_history and runtime
estimation.

* Implement target's API in the simulator, i.e. _battery_voltage(), so it
doesn't need to implement it's own powermgmt.c and other stubs. Now
the sim behaves much more like a native target, although it still
changes the simulated battery voltage quickly,

* Other changes include include renaming battery_adc_voltage() to
_battery_voltage(), for consistency with the new target functions and
making some of the apps code aware that voltage and runtime estimation
is not always available.

Android: Implement app shutdown and thus, sleep timer.

Android: Partly revert r29569 and only call the new getJavaEnvironment() when needed.

2011-03-16T14:33:55+00:00

The environment is fine to share in general, just not across OS threads, so it's only needed
for functions which are possibly called from multiple OS threads (only 1 currently).
