File-size causing camera crash

An A560 user recently tried running SDM.

After the splash-screen and brief flash of the blue LED, the camera would crash.

SDM and another build that worked were compared and the platform and loader code was identical.

Absolutely no coding errors were detected.

Basically, the working other build was stripped-down to the minimum functions and then the SDM code added.

It continued to work until the very last source-file was replaced with the SDM version.

That file is raw.c.

The only addition to the 'standard' raw.c is code to save csv and xml files.

Those functions are ONLY called from within raw.c so they were commented-out.

The camera still crashed !

Removing the code for saving csv files allowed the camera to work if you press the ON button very quickly.

Then, also removing the code for saving xml files allowed the camera to work normally.

There is more than enough memory allocated and no other camera has this problem.

For now, the code for those two functions is not compiled for the A560, they are empty functions.

Very strange  ................

Looked into sources (eventually found them)...
It seems you forgot to increment reserved memory (I see you tried increasing memory size to 0x32000 in 'makefile.inc') in the 'platform\a560\sub\100a\boot.c':

   "LDR    R2, =0xD6090\n" //0xA6090+0x30000

I was actually testing with the next working-version of SDM and have  :-

"LDR     R2, =0xD8C30\n"   // 0xA6C30 + 0x32000


I will have to check why original address is 0xA6090 in one version and 0xA6C30 in another.

It seems you modified the value in the commented out section...

Heh... Syntax highlighting sometimes can be very useful...

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh     :-)

OK.

Syntax highlighting for me !

I guess it HAD to be a memory allocation problem (even though file-size reported by compiler was fine).

I shall change that.
