In case you have still trouble creating the cleaned/stripped file, then simply upload the empty.dum file after dumping in the camera.
I can also strip it later by my self with cardtricks.

I uploaded the .bin file to zshare. http://www.zshare.net/download/75215193d99851e5/

Thanks. 😀

101b dump looks good. 😉

I did a quick compare with the other fw versions, and on the first look there has not much changed in compare to 101c.
I have to take a deeper look to be 100% sure, but i assume that there as i very good change that the 101c port will also
run on cameras with 101b firmware. So please try the 101c V4 build on your camera.

Added the S90 1.01B dump from this post (8MB, from lsl7994, dumped with a modified G11 udumper) to the drop.io - chdkdumps2 backup archive.

Thx to the 'dumpers' & uploaders !

Sure. I will try it now. Thanks. 😀

Could you give a more detailed, step by step on how to get SD cards larger than 4GB working. I had the same problem. I used SDM Installer, formatted, then created two partitions, then swapped partitions and all I got was Card Error Faults. I must be leaving some step out. Do I need to format the partitions afterwards?

I spent hours last night again. All I ever get when I partition the 2MB and format it is Card Error. I'm still doing something wrong. I even tried following David's procedure using SDM Installer without luck.

Maybe it's my card. I'll pick up a different 8GB card this weekend and try it again.

If anyone has any suggestions, please don't hessitate to interject.

gsbergman

Oops, I left off the card I was trying to partition and format is an Eye-Fi card.

gsbergman

If anyone has been successful with an larger than 4GB Eye-Fi card please let me know how you were able to get the card working.

Sorry that these are different postings but I'm a bit scattered this morning and am thinking about different questions as I go.

I dont think that this is really a S90 port related problem, so maybe you can open a seperate thread for this topic. BTW: Are you sure that the the Eye-Fi card supports parititioning at all? Dont forget that this is not a normal card and the Eye-Fi firmware on the card needs to know on which partition the pictures are (normaly partition 1). If you success to create two partitions, CHDK stores the pictures allways on partition 2, on partition 1 there is only the diskboot.bin. How do you think you can tell the Eye-Fi firmware that parition 2 ist the one with the pictures to transfer, and not partition 1?

I think this maybe the reason why it is not working to partition the card with SDM-Installer, maybe the EyeFi card does not support partitioning for that reason.

gsbergman

I tend to agree with your opinion and your right it really isn't a S90 Porting issue. I'll see if there is a more appropriate place in the forum to discuss this matter. Sorry to keep raising this question. I was just hoping someone had more experience than me on the Eye-Fi cards. Looking for the correct topic to take this conversation to.

Hello,
I think i check all problems before writing this. I already load chdk on my old camera.
I try to put the V4_S90_100c on my camera (which have 1.00c firmware) with card tricks...everything seems ok...but when i start my camera, i see the chdk message with orange background, but the camera stays in play mode, the lens should come out...? When i push play mode button, the screen becomes black and nothing happens.
Sorry for this post...does anybody see this problem before? What stupid things i did...or not???
many thanks

Press (or half-press) the shutter button to switch to record mode !
..or just hold the power button for 1-2 second to power on directly in record mode.

When i push play mode button, the screen becomes black and nothing happens.

This way you power off the camera, that's the camera's default behaviour when powered on in playback mode 😉

Great! many thanks
It's working very well!
you're chief guys!!!

CHDKly yours!

First of all thanks to everyone that helped make chdk possible for the S90. I used to have it on my old S980 and missed it when I sold it and actually forgot how to install on a 16gb card.

I do have one ongoing issue and that is after installing chdk on a 16gb card and getting it to temporarily work, I then make two partitions....once exiting the chdk menu and then go into the Canon camera's menu to try and take a picture I get a memory card error.

I've tried doing a swap partitions by then putting the card back into my laptop reader and it won't read the card it tells me it needs formatting with and without the lock on.

Any suggestion appreciated, and what is the best method for me to find out what firmware I have on my camera?

I'm using V4 S90 100c

Thanks again.

101c port seems to work fine at the moment. Thanks. 😀

I guess that any input can be useful, so just two minor things:
1. AF does indeed work on 100c (using the button - didn't know this previously).
2. My camera shut down when the battery was at around 3250 mV. I'm not sure if this is dependend on FW/used battery/etc, but maybe there's chance to set a slightly higher value (instead of the current 3000 mV) as default.

Once again, hardly possible to express my praise to all the programmers involved. Amazing work 😀

I don't use CHDK so I don't know the exact menu location, but .. yes .. you can set the battery upper and lower limits.

That's possibly a battery or camera specific value. For example, my camera starts flashing the red battery icon at 3.4V, so I changed the "min" value to 3400 mV. The battery packs are full at 3.7V, according to chdk in any case.

@lsl7994: Good to know that the port also works for 101b, if possible please post here if optical zomming during video and AF-scan during video is also working.

Regarding the battery stuff: Every battery/camera combination looks to be different. Even if the battery stated as 3,7V battery, the measured voltage for my battery is (fully charged) almost 4,1V. But it is possible to set the MIN/MAX value via OSD (OSD-Parameters->Battery->Battery MIN/MAX Voltage)

@ERR99

Someone has asked me when do you think the S90 will be added to TRUNK.

I am merely asking on their behalf :😀
