I'll try that.

For the record, I changed the code in in my chdk.trunk/platform/generic/main.c as follows.

Code: [Select]

    stop_hooking = 1;
    } else {
    // hook/replace another tasks
    /*
    if (my_ncmp(name, "tPhySw", 6) == 0){
        *entry = (long)physw_hook;
    }

    if (my_ncmp(name, "tInitFileM", 10) == 0){
        init_file_modules_prev = (void*)(*entry);
      #if CAM_MULTIPART
        *entry = (long)init_file_modules_task;
      #else
        *entry = (long)init_file_modules_hook;
      #endif
    }

    if (my_ncmp(name, "tCaptSeqTa", 10) == 0){
        *entry = (long)capt_seq_hook;
    }
    */
    if (my_ncmp(name, "tMovieReco", 10) == 0){
      #if CAM_CHDK_HAS_EXT_VIDEO_MENU

Recompiled, tested...
The problem is still there.

The problem is still there.

Next: spytask. I could be a problem in boot.c too.

edit:
boot.c: try moving
" BL sub_FF812130 \n"
to the next asm volatile block, above
" LDMDB R11, {R11,SP,PC} \n"

Thanks. I'll try that in the morning.

Reverting the first change and moving that line crashes the camera instantly when I load CHDK. Power light remains on, power button doesn't work, I need to pull the battery to recover. Did you want me to keep the previous change that commented out the hooks?

Does the changed function now look like this?

Code: [Select]

void __attribute__((naked,noinline)) h_usrRoot() {
asm volatile (
"    MOV     R12, SP \n"
"    STMFD   SP!, {R11,R12,LR,PC} \n"
"    SUB     R11, R12, #4 \n"
"    SUB     SP, SP, #8 \n"
"    STR     R0, [R11, #-0x10] \n"
"    STR     R1, [R11, #-0x14] \n"
"    BL      sub_FF8140B0 \n"
"    LDR     R0, [R11, #-0x10] \n"
"    LDR     R1, [R11, #-0x14] \n"
"    BL      sub_FFC1C448 \n"
"    LDR     R0, [R11, #-0x10] \n"
"    LDR     R1, [R11, #-0x14] \n"
"    BL      sub_FFC1CEC0 \n"
"    BL      sub_FF813C00 \n"
"    BL      sub_FF813B08 \n"
"    MOV     R0, #0x32 \n"
"    BL      sub_FFC1F444 \n"
"    BL      sub_FF814104 \n"
"    BL      sub_FF8140DC \n"
"    BL      sub_FF814138 \n"
"    BL      sub_FF814050 \n"
"    BL      sub_FFC1ED04 \n"
"    BL      sub_FF81409C \n"
);

    _taskCreateHookAdd(createHook);
    _taskDeleteHookAdd(deleteHook);

    drv_self_hide();

// Return from subroutine
asm volatile (
"    BL      sub_FF812130 \n"
"    LDMDB   R11, {R11,SP,PC} \n"
);
}

This should actually be the correct code - all other VxWorks ports do it like this. The subroutine named sub_FF812130 is responsible for starting the startup task, putting the hooks behind it doesn't seem right. It could be that other changes are required too.

Try disabling all task hooks - including spytask, and continue like I wrote earlier (re-enabling other tasks gradually when cam is stable). Also, try diskbooting instead of the fw update way.

It didn't but it does now, and it is a whole lot more stable.. Thanks.

Let me try a few other things.

Much better.

Scripting works, camera is stable, no more crashes.

Interval.lua shoots without any trouble, I left it running for a couple of minutes with a 5 seconds interval between shots.
motion.lua motion detection works. I shot multiple times, it picked up the motion from around the edges of the frame without any problems.

Only issue I found, if I use the "Make card bootable" option. When I boot from the locked card, the card will boot, however I see the Canon splash, followed by the CHDK splash, followed by "No Memory Card".

I can call up CHDK at this point, but any attempt to save a picture is greeted with "Cannot record" from the Canon firmware.
If we can nail this, I will try running the test suite next.

@nafraf if you could make the above changes to your working copy, I'll rebuild afresh from that just to make sure we have all of the changes up to date.

Nafraf updated the working copy, I recompiled and set up a fresh SD card.

The Boot from locked card issue remains, pretty much everything is working as expected.

I did a quick HDR using the hdr.lua script, not the most artistic picture ever, but it works.

Here is a low res version, built from 3 .dng files.

"No Memory Card".

This is something new, so can you confirm that the message is not something about a write protected card? What happens if you make the card bootable on the PC?
