it
all my tests with 4 and 16 gig have failed. i've only been able to get a 1 gig card working.


I'm using a 4Gb card on 101a, and the first build worked almost flawlessly...

I'll try at home again with my 4 gig i have different versions of Mac os between home and work.
At work the 4 GIG card isn't recognized by SMDinstaller, but the 16 gig is.
i've tried to make 2 partitions on the card manually, but no luck.
*shrug*

I think i found the problem regarding the 100c build. Please check if with the attached file,
booting from a two partition/SDM-Installer prepared card works.

The A570IS has a hardware switch to select play/rec mode. Most newer Canon cameras do this by push-button and therefore are not set in a mode as definite as the old ones. For some reason, they all boot in play mode when CHDK is loaded (except when the power button is held for a few seconds).

If that's true, and ERR99 had a way to get it into Capture mode immediately as before in his first chdk version, can I suggest that we leave the lens-extend on playback, so that the camera powers up to Capture mode immediately?  That is a far better alternative it seems to me...

okay so i've tried both my 4 gig and 16 gig cards, and neither one of them work.
SDM installer does not recognize the 16 gig card and has a copy error on the 4 gig

so, i hope i finally was able to get a 101c dump. err99 it would be great if you could tell me if it looks ok, as i'm not really sure.
i'm now working on a mac, prepared a 4gb sdhc card with sdminst (tow partitions), and used your modified udumper.

Yes, 101c dump looks good! It needs only to be cleaned/stripped, to remove the trailing bytes from the empty.dum file.

You have to use the correct diskboot.bin file for you camera firmware.
If you camera hat 101a firmware, you have to use the 101a port. 100c port does not work on cameras with 101a firmware.

great, thanks for having a look. i hope you maybe find some time to try to make a port for the 101c (neither the 100c nor the 101a prots work).

some general (maybe) useful information:
i got the dump with the modified g11 udumper on a 4gb card, i found out that somewhere in the doc the max. capacity of a card for using udumper is 2gb. as my dumping process worked i suppose the limitation is not the card size but the partition size.
as i'm using a mac i prepared the card with sdminst and copied the modified g11 udumper and the empty.dum to the first partition.
that's the reason for the dummy bites left in my dump file.

Okay, here a first try for a 101c port: Test if the attached file boots. If everything is correct, camera should boot without card write protect message.
