So where should I look if I've reached the end of h_usrRoot()? Currently the last few lines of my h_usrRoot are:

    //_taskCreateHookAdd(createHook);
    //_taskDeleteHookAdd(deleteHook);

    drv_self_hide();

 *((volatile int*) 0xc0220088) = 0x46; // turn on LED

    asm volatile (
   "LDMFD   SP!, {R4,R5,LR}\n"
   "B       sub_FF811370\n"
    );

As is, the diskboot method works (it functions normally since the task hooks are commented out), but the fw update method just blinks the led and then the camera turns off. Maybe I should copy and past sub_FF811370 from the firmware dump to see what's going on next?

[admin: avoid swearing please], im stupid, I thought h_usrRoot is the last thing to be executed. just found im wrong. i will continue investigating.

OK, I found that the fw update method died when executing
"BL      sub_FFB10A78\n"
which is the kernelInit function. But still haven't figured out why.

You can also try jumping back into the canon firmware earlier. Since you are loading manually, you don't need drv_self_hide to prevent a bootloop.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

Be careful, you can't just stick
Code: [Select]
*((volatile int*) 0xc0220088) = 0x46; // turn on LEDanywhere between some random asm statements. It may trash random registers, causing a new crash.

I'd suggest doing it in asm and keeping track of the registers yourself.

Right, good reminder.

Since the kernelInit function seems to be causing the trouble, I made my own version:

    "BL  sub_FFB10A78_my\n" // kernelInit
...
void __attribute__((naked,noinline)) sub_FFB10A78_my() {

and then I basically copy pasted the assembly code from the fw dump to fill it ill. Sadly, now neither diskboot nor fw update works. I did locate the problem, which is during calling
    "BL  0xFFB13C50\n"  // j_taskResume

Here are my questions: first of all, am I doing the right thing by making my own version of the kernelInit function? Since it's basically a copy of the assembly code, I assume it would work. But perhaps I need to offset the addresses?? Second, any idea what j_taskResume is doing?

This is wrong. You cannot BL to an arbitrary address. You should do BL sub_FFB13C50 which will cause the CHDK build process to generate the appropriate veneer for you in stubs_auto.S

Or roll your own with
Code: [Select]
MOV LR,PC
LDR PC,=FFB13C50

You shouldn't need to copy any more of that function.

edit:
the assembler accepts BL <constant> because it can interpret it as a PC relative offset, but it doesn't do what you want, and doesn't have the range to jump from RAM to ROM.

Btw, I also verified that the SD_READONLY_FLAG should be 0x20000 and that bit is stored in physw_status[2]. This is verified by reading through sub_FF82737C (kbd_read_keys_r2). Also, if I disable the part of the code in kbd.c that manipulates the readonly bit, the osd debug shows that physw_status[2] is 0x4020005f, so I think this is correct.

Sigh, how could I have forgotten about it... I even read this in another thread...
