STICK ignores 'cards' bigger than 64Gb so perhaps the 64Gb SDXC card was actually a bit bigger and STICK thought was over the limit.
I tried with 32GB SDHC and also not detecting the card...
Must be something else?

@helsan :  are you available to help out with a little testing on your PC?

There's something in this CHDK port that corrupts memory.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to spot anything obviously wrong in the 1.01b port (boot.c, capt_seq.c, movie_rec.c)... I have only compared the copied fw routines to the originals.

The following code is not right, but it doesn't lead to errors:

Code: [Select]
"loc_FF18DAC8:\n"
//              "BL sub_FF18D008_my\n"
                "BL     movie_time\n"
"label_A:\n"
                "B  loc_FF18DB28\n"
"loc_FF18DAD0:\n"

...

void __attribute__((naked,noinline)) movie_time(){
if( (int)conf.ext_video_time == 1 )
{
asm volatile (
                "BL     sub_FF18D008_my\n"
                "B      label_A\n"
             );
}
else
{
asm volatile (
                "BL     sub_FF18D008\n"
                "B      label_A\n"
             );
}

}
Should be B movie_time instead of BL movie_time.

A further possibility would be that Exmem is getting overwritten (exmem allocation is forced for this port).

The same bug exists in all models using movie_time....

@srsa_4c Could you fix it?

I could, but as I said, it executes normally, so there's no point. This thing called movie_time could look a bit nicer anyway. Mixing C and ASM in a naked "function" may not always be a good idea.

I agree that it will not make any difference.  The BL just stores a "return address" in the L register before branching.  That address  is never used and the link register had nothing of value in it anyway at that point. So its effectively the same as the B instruction with the code as written.

In fact, it's illegal according to the GCC doc  http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_Coding_Guidelines#Naked_functions  but we seem to get away with it most of the time...
Don't forget what the H stands for.

I recently bought this camera, and was testing the custom ISO options, and when my camera needs more ISO than i define in options (default 800) the camera just stops (simple shut down with the lens out), and i have to restart the camera...

Is this a bug or a problem of this camera??

It may be a bug, on my a560 this issue does not happen, though issues like that happen on my 230HS.

Also make sure you are using the proper build for your firmware (eg my camera uses the 101b firmware)

Wanted to bump this thread for anyone who has the SX230HS

As of build 3118, the video recording bug where the camera crashed if the OSD is enabled, was fixed by  nafraf.

New unstable builds for testing the recently found additional memory. Exmem is disabled, superfine JPEG should now work.
The builds are diskboot only.

Testers are encouraged to post their experiences - either positive or negative.

Warning: the download site that hosts the builds may show strong advertising activity, ad-blocking recommended...
