please i need help from you people out there.

Anybody found the taskcreate_ShootSeqTask subroutine? its used in the boot process, compraing to the reference firmware it should be called at FFC4E078 but theres nothing useful at that address. Looking for strings/signature wasnt helpful neither...

@ma_jk

I noticed you're using A720 for reference; have you also tried looking into the source of NewDryOS ports ?
I think the port for ixus80_sd1100 might help you, maybe they changed the name for this routine in newer cams;
you could at least take a look how this has been solved for this cam - AFAIK it runs fairly decently.
sources for chr's i80 port are here: SD1100/ixus 80 porting ....

just an idea, but i hope it helps,

Isn't the thing at FFC53334 the one you are looking for (in the 101b dump)? It's named taskcreate_SsTask and references task_SsTask at FFC5326C. Hope I'm right and this is of some help to you.

Hi.
I stumbled upon another problem on boot.c

Code: [Select]

void __attribute__((naked,noinline)) sub_FFC4F394_my() { //#fs  // CreateTask_CaptSeqTask
      		asm volatile(
                "STMFD   SP!, {R3-R5,LR}\n"
                "LDR     R2, =0x18860\n"
                "MOV     R0, #0\n"
                "MOV     R1, #0\n"
			"loc_FFC4F3A4:\n"
                "ADD     R3, R2, R0,LSL#4\n"
                "ADD     R0, R0, #1\n"
                "CMP     R0, #5\n"
                "STR     R1, [R3,#8]\n"
                "BCC     loc_FFC4F3A4\n"
                "BL      sub_FFD174EC\n"
                "BL      sub_FFD190C4\n"
                "MOV     R1, #5\n"
                "MOV     R0, #0\n"
				
                "BL      sub_FFC0BECC\n"

It stucks on this last call, which is related to memory allocation. In fact, from IDA

Code: [Select]


ROM:FFC0BBEC                 STMFD   SP!, {R4,LR}
ROM:FFC0BBF0                 BL      sub_FFC179F4    //inside here malloc is called
ROM:FFC0BBF4                 CMP     R0, #5            //code doesnt execute this
ROM:FFC0BBF8                 MOV     R4, R0
ROM:FFC0BBFC                 ADREQ   R0, aKernelmisc_c ; "KernelMisc.c"
ROM:FFC0BC00                 MOVEQ   R1, #0x1F
ROM:FFC0BC04                 BLEQ    DebugAssert
ROM:FFC0BC08                 MOV     R0, R4
ROM:FFC0BC0C                 LDMFD   SP!, {R4,PC}

So it freezes at FFC0BBF0. I Really cant get past it..

im already working on porting... should be a matter of time.

I'm not familiar with CHDK (yet). But I am an experienced programmer with some embedded experience. Is there something I can do to help?

I also have access to an A590 IS.

Of course you can help! if you have already setup the compiling ambient for a590, i can post my progresses, that r stuck for the moment at the booting process.
