    Funnel, I commented the taskCreateHook code but unfortunately it didn't get me any further down the boot process.

    I just discovered that the problem is in task_Startup_my().  The camera never returns from sub_FF83C8DC.  Not sure if it's safe to just comment this out since it seems like this code sets up the watchdog timer and also performs the camera "beep".

    Code: [Select]
    // @ 0xFF81FD28
    void __attribute__((naked,noinline)) task_Startup_my() {

    asm volatile (
    " STMFD SP!, {R4,LR} \n"

    You could have memory problems like the SX130 did.
    Apparently there was not enough heap space on the SX130 to load CHDK using the normal method.
    The original developers found that loading CHDK at 0xF00000 worked.
    Later we converted it to use EXMEM to get CHDK out of the camera heap space.

    This article on EXMEM explains the memory allocation for CHDK - http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/ExMem_-_enabling_and_loading_CHDK_into_extended_memory.

    You can try disabling everything you don't need from the build (games, calendar, scripting, calendar, text reader etc).
    The easiest way to do this is to create a localbuildconf.inc file and put overrides in it to turn off features (e.g. 'override OPT_GAME_REVERSI=' will turn off the reversi game).

    Thanks for the info Phil.

    This is what I've done:

    -Found the MAXRAMADDR (0x4000000) and video buffer address (0x3D24C00) at sub_FF88F91C.
    -Set the following in makefile.inc (see attachment):
      - overrides for OPT_EXMEM_MALLOC, OPT_CHDK_IN_EXMEM
      - MAXRAMADDR
      - EXMEM_HEAP_SKIP
      - EXMEM_BUFFER_SIZE
      - MEMISOSTART when OPT_CHDK_IN_EXMEM is set
    -Modified boot.c to use original heap offset if OPT_CHDK_IN_EXMEM is set (see attachment).
    -Disabled optional CHDK features (games)

    With these changes, the boot process still doesn't reach CreateTask_PhySw().  I also tried to set OPT_EXMEM_TESTING but the camera did not do anything (tutorial claimed LCD would output addresses).

    Sorry if my previous post was confusing; but you really need to disable EXMEM for now. Until you can get CHDK running in the Canon heap memory you won't have much luck getting it to work in EXMEM. The camera can't display the OPT_EXMEM_TESTING information till you have CHDK fully running.

    That's why I suggested creating a small a build as possible to have the best chance of it loading at the heap address.

    A bit more progress.  I have attached all of my changes I've made to date.

    To get my camera to boot, I had to temporarily disable all SD card writes in core_spytask() in core/main.c (commented conf_restore() and mkdir commands).  I guess the SD card lock ignore is not working.  Also, when the camera boots it doesn't respond to any key presses.  I still don't get the CHDK logo at start-up either.

    Not sure what to do next to resolve the SD card and key issues.  Here's what's on my todo list (unrelated to resolving the above issues?):

    - boot.c: Uncomment code in taskCreateHook()
    - boot.c: Uncomment "*(int*)0x1938 = (int)taskCreateHook;" and "*(int*)0x193C = (int)taskCreateHook;" at start of sub_FF810358_my() and figure out what values to use
    - boot.c: Determine whether dataghost fat32 code in sub_FF875EAC_my() is required for this camera
    - capt_seq.c: Finish patching exp_drv_task()
    - Perform EXMEM tests and enable EXMEM overrides

    Any tips for me?  Maybe someone can spot a mistake I've made in my files.

    It might not help much, but the signature finder has been updated since the trunk1385 version you are working with.  You might want to download the latest trunk, move your stuff over to it and double check what it finds ?  KEY_SHOOT_FULL_ONLY  is fixed now for example.

    Otherwise,  per our IRC discussion yesterday,  keep working on the mykbd_task() stuff - that will get your SD card lock and camera key problems sorted out.  And the code is relatively simple.

    Also, your issues with reading the SD card in spy_task are most likely unrelated to being unable to ignore the SD card lock switch position.

    Waterwingz, your suggestion was right on target.  I updated to Changeset 1399 and I now don't have to comment the SD card writes in core/main.c.  I also get the CHDK logo at startup.  However, the keys still don't work.

    So spy_task() is working now - good news !    The keys thing should be pretty easy from here.   Like I said, make sure that mykbd_task() is actually running.

    UPDATE:  you are also now at the point where you should be able to print debug messages on the LCD screen and leave your LED flasher behind  !

    Ok, the SD Card lock ignore and the keys are now working.  I had to modify wrap_kbd_p1_f() in kbd.c.  It appears that the SX150 uses different registers in this routine.  Found them @FF8345D0.

    The camera now boots with CHDK.  I can toggle <ALT> and can enter the CHDK menu.

    Anyone know how to determine what values are used in the following lines in boot.c:

    Code: [Select]
    *(int*)0x1938 = (int)taskCreateHook;
    *(int*)0x193C = (int)taskCreateHook;

    Special thanks to waterwingz for his help on IRC.
