LOL - sometimes i've got a memory like a sieve...uploaded your dump to the drop.io dump archive last year (20-Dec-2008)

It happens  :D, I know that very well.

Take me? I dumped a firmware, almost half of the year ago and I still can't find out how I have done it.  :D

Modified udumper is attached.

Exander, thanks for the good work!

I was trying to compile the standard udumper as well as your modified udumper (main.c)
but I am basically wondering whether I am doing it alright. I managed to install arm-elf-gcc
on linux BUT what's strange to me is that the compiled main.c has >150kB! Could you help me
explain what is happening? I'm a complete newbie to cross-compiling.

So to accurately describe what I have done: I took your main.c function and compiled it using
arm-elf-gcc. This produced no error messages. The bin file is 150458 bytes long. In HEX, I can see
that first 7*16+2 = 114 bytes are nonzero, then there are loads of zeros, and then again there is something starting exactly at 8000H and going to the very end of the file.

The first 114 bytes start as follows:
7F 45 4C 46    01 01 01 61   00 00 00 00    00 00 00 00
02 00 28 00    01 00 00 00   0C 81 00 00    34 00 00 00
9C 2C 02 00 ....

Does this look somehow familiar to you or is it complete nonsense? Would you guess what I am doing wrong?

Thanks a lot!

Download sources of udumper (CardTricks) and gcc arm compiler from wiki.

My compile script contains this:

Code: [Select]
rm -f diskboot.bin
rm -f diskboot.org

arm-elf-gcc -fno-builtin -O2 -Ilib -nostdinc -c entry.s
arm-elf-gcc -fno-builtin -O1 -Ilib -c -DDRYOS main.c
arm-elf-gcc -fno-builtin -O2 -Ilib -nostdlib -Wl,-N,-Ttext,1900 -o main.exec entry.o main.o -lc -lgcc

arm-elf-objcopy -O binary main.exec diskboot.org
encode diskboot.org diskboot.bin

After this I use dd for padding.

So I've downloaded the A2000IS dump that exists but can't be redumped for some reason.

Do we really care that it can't be redumped? 

Shouldn't we just start on the porting?

It's been a while since I've done C and assembler programming, but I can get back into it.

I don't really care, I've got the dump, but it so bugs me.

A reproducible method to dump the A2[10]00's firmware would be desirable -- there are variants of the firmware (i.e 1.00A) that would not work with a potential CHDK port for the dump that we have so far.
