What kind of crash ? What platform are you running on ?

If your system doesn't have much memory, that may be a problem, chdkptp currently downloads the entire file into memory before writing it to disk. This is something I need to fix, but I haven't got around to it yet.

If this isn't the problem, you can try to get a stack trace by running chdkptp in gdb, described here http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=6231.msg89016#msg89016

This is probably just caused by the connection being interrupted by the crash, leaving the camera side ptp stack in a bad state.

Yes, when chdkptp downloads file the memory is busied on 92 percent. I get the following message
Code: [Select]
unexpected return code 0x2ff

Nice.

How much RAM does your beagleboard have, and how big is the file ?

This isn't a crash message, it just means just means the connection was lost for some reason. I'd be looking for something like 'terminated' or 'segmentation fault', 'bus error' etc.

If you look in the system or kernel logs, you will might find something about OOM. If your system is configured with swap, it's possible that things just get so slow the connection dies.

I'll look into making the download function stream to disk this weekend.

Starting with revision 274, file downloads will write 2mb at a time instead of of buffering the whole file. Please let me know if this fixes the problem.

Thanks for confirming that. Just FYI, I wouldn't be surprised if there are problems with files larger than 2gb.

When I try to download video files lager than 2GB (for example, 2.7GB), the process is terminated with error:
Code: [Select]
unexpected return code 0x2ffCamera connection is lost. Then if I try to reconnect I get the message:
Code: [Select]
Device or resource busy
