It seems Canon is not the only camera maker using Takumi graphic accelerators: GV330 is used in the Nikon D7100. Image comes from the Nikon Hacker forum, I put it here for easier access (their forum server has problems lately).
A very similar code snippet can be found in our Xtensa firmware - with different constants and "GV550". It's likely part of the Takumi provided library.

I added G7 X 100b and 100d to the autobuild, labeled as ALPHA, with FI2 building disabled.

While there are certainly still issues, IMO it's functional enough for general use, and not significantly worse than some of the other ports that have been in the autobuild. When we discussed this before the major stumbling block was the display related features (zebra, histo etc) and those have been mostly addressed. Plus I'm tired of building every firmware and updating the posts in the dev thread ;)

I'm happy to add any other D6 ports the developers think are ready. Until the FI2 boot issues are resolved, I plan to leave FI2 building disabled for all D6 ports.

I'm also open to arguments that this was a bad idea.

What's the reason for omitting 100c?

BTW I noticed an anomaly in camera_list.csv: sx400is-100b is ALPHA but is still skipped.

Because it's a blind port and no one has reported whether it runs yet.

ALPHA doesn't particularly imply "ready for the autobuild". The status labels are set by whoever works on the ports. Generally ports starts as ALPHA and we don't add cameras to the autobuild until a few people have reported it working.

The "PREALPHA" was used on the digic 6 ports, because the new architecture caused a lot of stuff to be broken.

So ixus125_elph110hs works, but remains in ALPHA since it has too many features disabled?

You really shouldn't read much into the labels. Generally what we aim for is

ALPHA - either very new, very lightly tested, or known significant missing features / problems
BETA - most major features reported working, may have minor know issues or some areas not tested.

However, we have a problem: The core developers don't have access to 99% of the supported hardware. Sometimes ports are done "blind" which makes it very hard to know how well tested they are, others are contributed by people who happen to own and camera and have some programming skill. So we don't directly know the state of most ports, and we depend on others to request the status of a particular port should be updated. So ports that are fine may languish forever as alpha or beta, and ports that have significant problems may have no label.

This comes up for discussion every so often, but we don't have a good solution.

The real solution IMO would be to have much more comprehensive tests and test procedures so we could objectively know how functional a port is, but this is very hard to do in practice.

The ID -> name association list is attached to my previous post due to size limitation. I have extracted the function pointers starting from 0x80a001d0, and used a script to extract the debug strings (which appear to be function names) from the disassembly of the 0x80a00000 area.

Need some help to find message handlers for EOS M3:

I've got it using xtensa-lx106-elf-objdump.
Are function pointers situated at 0x80a00830 ?

That disasm is looking weird.
Instructions decoded as 'excw' are actually not decoded correctly.
For example, e00800 should be 'callx8  a8'.
I'd expect the handler list to start near the beginning of one of the Xtensa blobs - the list will surely contain NULLs.
I can't help more ATM because I have not found/extracted/disassembled the M3 blobs, yet.

It's very much possible that 'our' Xtensa is not lx106. Hmm, isn't that the core used in ESP 8266? Because that's a rather basic core that supports way less instructions, so its disassembler won't do the job.

You can take it from ROM dump:
Code: [Select]
dump offset - load address - size
0x09FEFB0 0xBFF20000 0x77B8
0x0A06770 0xBFF00000 0x4AD0
0x0A0B248 0x80A00000 0x106220

Which exactly binutils you've used to get your disassembly?

Finally my message handlers are exactly the same as G7x.

Yeah, I know. Addresses of blobs can be found in the fw function that references the "zicokick start" string.

An universal one, made with this script (I also posted this link earlier): http://pete.akeo.ie/2011/04/quick-and-dirty-script-to-compile.html
The other script (or the binary) found in my disassembler thread is also usable.

Yep, I checked them too.

Your guess was correct. The number of functions (or the highest index?) can be found higher in the disassembly, it's the value loaded in the a7 register.
Code: [Select]
bff2596e: 72a0ef                movi a7, 239
