So, I had a discussion with nafraf today on IRC. Here is a followup/summary.

Context: testing ixus500_elph520hs / sub 101a from nafraf repository rev 753 and chdk rev 3762.

First, some random problems I had (not very interesting):

keys can be found at 0x629F2C (FI2KEY) and 0xFF3CE0 (FI2IV) offsets in 101a firmware dump. The encoding is d4c, so same keys that other wiki documented devices apparently.
since I git-svn cloned the repositories, the directories bin and CHDK/MODULES needed to be created (git can't track empty directories. The former prevents build, and the later was causing the full zip generated by make firzipsubcomplete to not contain the any modules at its first run (because ZIPDIRS makes a ls and the directory was not present initially)

What worked so far:

CHDK Color Test seems OK AFAICT
The USB remote shoot seems to work (I was able to trigger a photo by plugging in/out an USB cable)

What doesn't work so well:

It takes 3.5 seconds to spawn the "quick" menu when pressing the playback button.
At least DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT buttons from that menu (respectively disable overrides, draw zebra and show osd) have no effect, while the VIDEO and MENU buttons (save raw and main menu) work
Enabling the zebra mode (done from the main menu) causes red glitches at the bottom of the screen when half pressing the shooting button. You can see it in this video: http://lucy.pkh.me/chdk-ixus500hs/zebra-red-glitch.webm
On that previous same video, we can also see that the OSD texts are cropped/shifted on the right; according to nafraf, I should have a look to http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_User_Manual#OSD_Layout_Editor but there might be better defaults possible here
the RAW mode is broken as someone already mentioned in that thread. So with the photo taken in the previous video, you get such raw: http://lucy.pkh.me/chdk-ixus500hs/broken-raw-4354.jpg (original compressed in xz @ http://lucy.pkh.me/chdk-ixus500hs/CRW_4354.DNG.xz)

Good news everyone, I think I fixed the raw output.

So here is the diff:

For the record, this is my build script:

Code: [Select]

get_fi(){
    xxd -l16 -u -plain -s$1 $dump

popd

rm -rf img
unzip -d img chdk_trunk/bin/ixus500_elph520hs-101a-1.3.0-0-full.zip

(and then I sync img to the micro sd)

But a few comments:

- I'm using nafraf/chdk @ r753 and chdk/trunk @ r3765 because I was unable to rebase properly this code (way too much changes)
- The colormatrix is probably wrong, but I have no idea how to define it.
- The specifications states the following lens information: "4.0 - 48.0 mm (35 mm equivalent: 28 - 336 mm)", so I tried

Code: [Select]

#define CAM_DNG_LENS_INFO { 28,1, 336,1, 34,10, 56,10 } instead of

Code: [Select]

#define CAM_DNG_LENS_INFO { 40,10, 480,10, 34,10, 56,10 } but it seems darktable isn't able to correct the fisheye effect anyway.
- The preview in the DNG seems to be broken somehow (bottom slice shows garbage)

Anyway, here is what the raw looks like in darktable: http://lucy.pkh.me/chdk-ixus500hs/CRW_4453.jpg
And here is what the IXUS outputs: http://lucy.pkh.me/chdk-ixus500hs/IMG_4453.JPG

We can observe a few things:
- There is a left black bar and a smaller top one. These black bars just looks like obstructed areas (raising the light shows noise)
- There is a very marked fisheye effect
- There is a lot more noise (expected I guess)
- The colors are definitely differents

I can probably upload more examples...

Fisheye effect is expected in RAW capture, you have to fix it during image post-processing. CAM_DNG_LENS_INFO was not modified.

Done. It still works as expected, and thanks for integrating my changes. By the way, I think you forgot to fix the comment for cam_CFAPattern.

Alright.

Here is another verbatim export of the raw from darktable:
RAW export: http://lucy.pkh.me/chdk-ixus500hs/CRW_4552.jpg
IXUS filtered: http://lucy.pkh.me/chdk-ixus500hs/IMG_4552.JPG

BTW, where is the current colormatrix picked from? It seems to be shared between something like 30 cameras. Why isn't it the same as for instance... ixus310_elph500hs (random pick from a similar name)?

Ah and by the way, the keyboards refactoring didn't help for the annoying problem of the alt menu taking ~5 seconds to pop up

Edit: down/left/right (overrides/zebra/osd) still have no effects in the alt menu, and zebra mode still shows over exposure in the bottom rectangle all the time (which seems to match the glitch area we observe in preview image of the raw)

Fixed, please update your working copy. Thanks

KEYS_MASK[0-2] were defined using values automatically detected, but probably are wrong. Please use the version on attachment to detect which bits are masked on pressing each key.

I see a -1 displayed on the bottom; is that what you need? It doesn't change if by pressing the buttons.

No, the idea is to see the value of physw_status[0-2] on screen.

Please try the following:
1. edit core/gui_osd.c and uncomment the code to "debug keymap, KEYS_MASKx..." (line1139), and change the conditional to show those values always.
2. edit platform/ixus500_elph520hs/platform_camera.h set KEYS_MASKx to 0x0
3. Compile and test.

3. Compile and test.

AFAICT, this is the layout (bit0 = lsb):
physw_status0 -> bit0 right, bit1 down, bit2 left, bit3 up
physw_status1 -> bit1 video/record
physw_status2 -> bit12 dezoom, bit13 dezoom++, bit14 zoom, bit15 zoom++, bit16 set = auto mode toggle on (warn: bit to 1 for this one)

It's hard to tell about the others. The bits are 1 by default, pressing set them to 0.

Now this seems to somehow match the key masks. Also, in the CHDK menu (not the alt one), the buttons seems to work very well, so what makes you think this is the problem?

Anyway, at rest the values looks like this:

Code: [Select]

PS1: 0xd[048c][0123]c0c[08]f
PS2: 0x[47][1d5]4100fb
PS3: 0x2020ff00

The "menu" you get with a 3 second delay after entering ALT mode is a "help screen". It's meant to provide hints for new users (some people find it annoying and turn it off right away). It can be switched off from the CHDK menu: CHDK settings -> Menu settings -> Show <ALT> help screen.
