Hello CHDK enthusiasts!

I'm currently trying (and failing miserably) to build a working version of chdkptp on GNU/Linux (ubuntu 11.10, i686).
First of all, I use the last CHDK and CHDKPTP svn trunk sources (resp. Rev 2103 / Rev 286). (I also tried with other versions with same result).
I can build the complete chdk "firzipsubcomplete" image for my ixus40_sd300_100k, which installs on sd card and works great.
I can build the chdkptp tool in order to help pushing/debugging lua scripts on the camera, but always get the same kind of errors when I try to use it:
(first I disabled the libgphoto2 udev rules to avoid gvfs automounting of ptp device)
$ cd lua/
$ ../chdkptp -i
___> list
unexpected return code 0x2fd
ERROR: Could not close session!
!1: b=002 d=019 ERROR: error
___> connect
unexpected return code 0x2fd
ERROR: error
con> ls
unexpected return code 0x2ff
ERROR: ptp error
con> reboot
unexpected return code 0x2ff
ERROR: failed
con> dis
ERROR: Could not close session!

I've also tried to change the CHDK_SRC_DIR, pointing to chdk source dir and rebuild, but same result.
I'm trying to sniff the usb trafic with usbmon (as attached to this post) corresponding to a chdkptp "list" command:
___> list
unexpected return code 0x2fd
ERROR: Could not close session!
!1: b=002 d=020 ERROR: error

So, I'm stuck here, no big deal though, I can remove the SD card, write my lua script on it and put it back in the camera, but this is quite tedious.
Is there any possibility to find what's going wrong or enable a "debug" mode in chdkptp ?
Anyway, I'm fond of chdk and associated tools, fantastic work, you all rock !
Regards,
sebh

Some things you can try:
- Does it work if you run as root ?
- Are there any messages in the system logs (dmesg | tail, /var/log/messages etc)
- do you have any other PTP devices (not canon or not chdk) connected to your PC ?

0x2fd is PTP_ERROR_RESP_EXPECTED which is not one I've seen before (although I did recently change the code, previously, many errors would get transformed into PTP_ERROR_IO instead of returning the original error code). This is a local error code (i.e. defined in chdkptp, not system) which can be generated in exactly one place: ptp.c ptp_usb_getresp if you want to look.

Another thought, the ixus40_sd300 is a very old USB 1.1 camera. srsa_4c mentions here: http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=4338.msg89719#msg89719 that another old USB 1.1 camera needs a special hack in chdkptp to work. You may want to look at that.

Your problem is related to accessing the device, so it's safe to say you don't need to do anything with this.

thanks for the hints.
Unfortunately, I get the same error when I run chdkptp as root.
In the syslog, I get these:

Aug 27 20:44:57 mythtv kernel: [31622.640067] usb 5-1: new full-speed USB device number 8 using uhci_hcd
Aug 27 20:44:57 mythtv mtp-probe: checking bus 5, device 8: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb5/5-1"
Aug 27 20:44:57 mythtv mtp-probe: bus: 5, device: 8 was not an MTP device
Aug 27 20:45:15 mythtv kernel: [31640.700065] usb 5-1: reset full-speed USB device number 8 using uhci_hcd
Aug 27 20:45:30 mythtv kernel: [31655.136113] usb 5-1: USB disconnect, device number 8

the "reset full-speed" occurs when I run the "list" command in chdkptp
the ixus is the only ptp device being connected.
I have tried to modify ptp.c according to srsa_4c's patch at the end of ptp_usb_senddata:

if ((usbdata.length & (params->max_packet_size-1)) == 0)
//ugly spec case for PowerShot A410 ...ixus40??
if (!((params->vendor_id==0x04a9) && ((params->product_id==0x30f9) || (params->product_id==0x30bf)) && (usbdata.length==0x40)))
params->write_func(data, 0, params->data);

without altering the rest , rebuilt and run, but got the same result to the same commands.

I tried to monitor the usb trafic with wireshark, but as I couldn't find a "USB for Dummies" book I could not understand anything from that :-)
here is a chdkptp session corresponding to the wireshark capture of usb trafic (pluging the device, waiting ~10s, typing the commands with a delay of ~10s to see them in the timestamps).
I don't know if anyone can get useful infos from that, but I will keep trying :-)

@sebh
Try the camera with standard PTP clients (like gphoto, or anything based on libgphoto). ~~I have a feeling that it's either a hardware or kernel issue.~~ I haven't been able to do anything useful with my S1IS (testing CHDK PTP support) on my current PC (nVidia MCP78S/Geforce 8200 based, running kernel 3.1, x86), because of similarly unstable connection.

That was based on camera behaviour while running a certain test (http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=4338.msg87103#msg87103), this situation seems to be different (the A410 has no similar basic communication problems).

update: just tried again, the camera (S1IS) does work fine without CHDK's PTP support. It has to be some compatibility issue affecting the oldest CHDK-capable cameras (S1, Ixus30, Ixus40)...

Hi,
libgphoto2-based tools (like shotwell) start automagically provided the right udev rule (40-libgphoto2.rules) is at the right place.

Just to confirm, I tried ptpcam included with libptp2 source:

Just to confirm: my Ixus30 does the same (it's still on CHDK 0.9.9), regular PTP works, chdkptp not. So, it really looks like

meaning: the correct firmware functions are available and found, but somehow do not work as expected...

This is quite interesting, because chdkptp is closely based on ptpcam. Can you try the CHDK version ptpcam, included in the chdkde source here http://trac.assembla.com/chdkde/browser/trunk/tools/ptpcam ?

This is odd because the error in sebh's original post looks like it happens before any CHDK specific stuff.

@reyalp
Tried the CHDKDE ptpcam fork (after doing this). It doesn't work in chdk mode

Code: [Select]

./ptpcam -v --chdk
unexpected return code 0x2fd
error: cannot get camera CHDK PTP version; either it has an unsupported version or no CHDK PTP support at all
<conn> mode 1
usb_bulk_write: Connection timed out
unexpected return code 0x2ff
mode switch failed!

But it does work in non-CHDK mode. Just like the libgphoto based PTP support for KDE.

Note that I haven't touched that port since October 2011 (time to do so

)

add_ptp_handler has been found by the sigfinder, PTP support is enabled.
Each failure results in a line like this in syslog:

Code: [Select]

OK, i see now it's actually failing in one of the chdk command that's implicit on connect in chdkptp, that clears things up a bit.

Might be worth looking the ptp_data structure and and the functions it points to. If canon moved something around or added parameters to the functions, that might explain it.

The reset may be due to the ptp code trying to recover from an error.

Thanks for the advice, I've found one difference. send_resp() in ptp_data has an additional parameter (always 0). Connection now works, file download works, but "ls" does not return anything (there are no error messages). Other commands which echo something (rmem, version) work well.

Code: [Select]

con> ls
con 1>

I'll try a quick port to 1.1...
