Obviously since I can't operate the mode switch or boot up in Shoot or Video mode, I cant test much more.
Try identifying those buttons and switches.
Locate this section in core/gui_osd.c
Code: [Select]
        /*
        // debug keymap, KEYS_MASKx, SD_READONLY_FLAG, USB_MASK
        extern long physw_status[3];
        sprintf(osd_buf, "PS1: %#8x", physw_status[0]);
        draw_txt_string(28, 10, osd_buf, conf.osd_color);

        sprintf(osd_buf, "PS2: %#8x", physw_status[1]);
        draw_txt_string(28, 11, osd_buf, conf.osd_color);

        sprintf(osd_buf, "PS3: %#8x", physw_status[2]);
        draw_txt_string(28, 12, osd_buf, conf.osd_color);
        */
Uncomment it, replace
physw_status[0] with *(long*)0xc0220200
physw_status[1] with *(long*)0xc0220204
physw_status[2] with *(long*)0xc0220208
Recompile, and see which bits change when pressing buttons or moving the mode switch.

physw_status was 0x0 in stubs_min.S. I expect that now its value is right.

Completely off topic, but the front of that Ixus 50 reminded me of the "Diamond Ixus's" that hit the headlines a few years back.

Time for some sparklies and superglue maybe?

Some improvements to the Ixus Wireless port using the latest code.

1) The mode switch now operates, I can switch to Shoot, Video and Play.
2) The Power button operates.

Some issues..

1) The <ALT> key no longer operates as expected, instead it behaves like a display blanking button.
2) After a number of key presses, we seem to hit an exception and the camera shuts down.

The OSD stuff still works (battery voltage, temp etc).

keymap has not been checked, you can use srsa_4c suggestion to detect the keys.

I edited the debug keymap section as shown below, but I don't see the results on the screen.

Code: [Select]
      /**/
        // debug keymap, KEYS_MASKx, SD_READONLY_FLAG, USB_MASK
        extern long physw_status[3];
        sprintf(osd_buf, "PS1: %#8x", *(long*)0xc0220200);
        draw_txt_string(28, 10, osd_buf, conf.osd_color);

        sprintf(osd_buf, "PS2: %#8x", *(long*)0xc0220204);
        draw_txt_string(28, 11, osd_buf, conf.osd_color);

        sprintf(osd_buf, "PS3: %#8x", *(long*)0xc0220208);
        draw_txt_string(28, 12, osd_buf, conf.osd_color);
        /**/

... anything else we need to get working first?

Check if debug code is inside this conditional:
Code: [Select]
if (conf.debug_misc_vals_show) {
....
}
To enable it,  CHDK menu -> Miscellaneous stuff -> Debug Parameters -> Show Misc. Values [ * ]

This means I can't access the menus any more.

A couple of things occur to me at this point...

A) The <ALT> key was working, so perhaps we just need it set the way it was before.

B) This particular camera is one of the few that assigns a function to the <PRINT> key ( the usual CHDK <ALT> key for this style of  Ixus) in playback mode. It uses the key to set up the Wireless. When pressed in playback mode, you are taken to the Wireless <Connect/Disconnect> menu, so we may need to assign an alternative key.

In light of the fact that the <ALT> key doesn't currently work, is this setting saved on the SD card, if so can I set it outwith CHDK by editing *something*?
