Thank you codertux, this works on SX280HS.. see the problems mentioned by srsa_4c.

@srsa_4c : I have run the benchmarking on
high speed card uSD with SD card adapter : Scandisk Extreme Pro 16GB, write speed: 90MB/s and read: 95MB/s.

Benchmark Results:
Screen -
Write: 32542 kb/s 108FPS
Read: Calculating... (even after 5min)

Memory
Write: 152409 kb/s
Read: -1 kb/s

Flash-Card
Write (RAW) : 21780 kb/s
Write (Mem) : 21557 kb/s
Write (64k)  : 11959 kb/s
Read (64k)   : 18004 kb/s

Cheers,
Raj

Thanks. That pretty much looks like a nice speed limit, the usual ~21MB/s. So much for some people's hopes on raw video...

The first part of the benchmark was "optimized out" by the compiler.

That's disappointing. Not to say RAW video, the higher write speed can benefit encoded video with higher video quality override

New release with some changes:
Thank you SO much for this version 102b which I need for my SX270.
It lets me run scripts and it gives me USB support - I love you!!!
Some experiences:
- VERS.REQ seems not to work, but VER.REQ worked.
- I could not see any "Firmware update" in the menu. But autostart from a locked card works.
- "set_record 1" seems not to work. I have to set the camera in record mode manually.

I am afraid, there is a serious issue about the video synchronization of CHDK console. If I connect a TV to the USB jack, text PRINTed by a script can not be read as shown in the attached photo.

Known issue (perhaps my wording isn't the best):
...
Known problems:
...
- The CHDK GUI is unusable (distorted, falls apart) when using the analog video out connector.
...
CHDK only supports a single bitmap overlay resolution. This can already be a problem (although not this severe) on all widescreen cameras.
On DIGIC 6, the buffer dimensions of bitmap overlay depend on the output device (LCD, tv-out, hdmi), these buffer dimensions are static on previous DIGIC processors.

- "set_record 1" seems not to work. I have to set the camera in record mode manually.
It does work on mine. Try running CHDK/SCRIPTS/TEST/ubtest.bas, this script uses set_record.

Prealpha 3 for 102b and 102c. If you're upgrading from an earlier release, be sure to update the modules too.

Changes since the last prealpha:
- modules are now compiled with the same compiler as the CHDK core. This resolves the issue with some DNG Exif fields.
- palette is a bit better, modules now can display the black color
- it's now possible to start the cam in record/shooting mode with a long press on the ON/OFF button
- memory related benchmarks are rewritten to make them compiler independent. The results are quite funny...
- CHDK will now display (more or less) correctly when an external display is used
- the OSD layout editor is usable again

WOW, I am really impressed, can't thank you enough!

First of all, many thanks for making this work!

Benchmark results on an SX280 (102b) with a Lexar Professional 400x 16GB card:

CPU: 99950
Screen:
  -Write: 30967 Kb/s  103 FPS
  -Read: 2225 Kb/s  2 FPS
Memory:
  -Write: 123652 Kb/s
  -Read: 51200 Kb/s
Flash-card
  -Write (RAW): 17028 Kb/s
  -Write (Mem): 17066 Kb/s
  -Write (64k): 10570 Kb/s
  -Read (64k): 15031 Kb/s


On a USB3 card reader, the card measures 58MB/s for sequencial read and (somewhat disappointingly) 21MB/s for sequencial write.

Thanks, that's a bit unexpected (the benchmark was meant to be run in playback mode, though I can't get such low memory score even in record mode).
What I'm getting is
Screen:
  -Write: 39183 Kb/s
  -Read: 2773 Kb/s
Memory:
  -Write: 152409 Kb/s
  -Read: 66197 Kb/s

My camera was made in Japan, and is an early piece according to its serial number.

About the included benchmark (tech details for those interested, source is available from my repo):
CPU: executed instructions / second (in a two-instruction loop), should be a random value close to 100 MIPS.
Screen write: writing speed to the bitmap overlay, 1 byte at a time, uncached. (The displayed FPS is incorrect)
Screen read: reading from an image buffer, 1 byte at a time, uncached. The camera performs worse than a DIGIC III camera at this, I have no idea why. (FPS is also incorrect)
Memory write: writing speed to an allocated buffer (0x10000 bytes), 4 bytes at a time, cached.
Memory read: reading from the allocated buffer (0x10000 bytes), 4 bytes at a time, cached.

The SD interface is clearly crippled on this camera.
