The others might need more adjustments to the sig finder (I notice it has some other missing stuff and things that look a bit wrong as well).

If you find any of the missing stuff let me know where and how you found it and I'll see if it can be automated.

sigfinder was not sure about this function:

NSTUB(GetImageFolder                          ,0xff1b8484) //  6 93%
// ERROR: LocalTime is not found.                          //--- ---    *** != 0x0068f420
// ERROR: MakeDirectory_Fut is not found.                  //--- ---    *** != 0xff01cf78
NSTUB(reboot_fw_update                        ,0xff38f4dc) //  6 64%


If i am right, this here are the correct function adresses for stub_entry2.s:
NHSTUB(GetImageFolder,        0xFF1B8488)
NHSTUB(LocalTime,               0x68F420)
NHSTUB(MakeDirectory_Fut,    0xFF01CF78)
NHSTUB(reboot_fw_update,    0xFF38F4D8)

In general the sigfinder hits was not "to far away" from the correct adresses. (Asumming that the adresses i found are correct) ;)

The address you are using for MakeDirectory_Fut is actually the 'mkdir' address.

The main problem with using this is the return values are inverted - MakeDirectory_Fut returns 0 for success, while 'mkdir' returns 1. This affects the Lua script mkdir function which will return the wrong status.

Another potential problem is that CHDK passes -1 as the second parameter to MakeDirectory_Fut; but I don't think this is correct for 'mkdir'. Calls to mkdir in the firmware seem to use 0 or 1 as the 2nd parameter.

If Canon have removed MakeDirectory_Fut then the code for CHDK's mkdir in generic/wrappers.c will need an #ifdef to allow using the firmware mkdir instead and inverting the return value.

Also if you can tell me how you found LocalTime I can try automating it in the sig finder.

Thanks philmoz, I have the same problem with a810/a1300, that explains the mkdir log error reported llibtst.lua

I used #ifdef in wrappers.c, and I posted the patch here
Do you think that it is right? maybe the #ifdef should be renamed.

That patch looks ok, I'll add it to the trunk and release-1.1 versions so other affected cameras can use it.

I tested also the patch on the SX50 and it works fine. With this patch, the liblua testscript executes without any errors. :)

I found localtime via search for this string:

This string is only used from one function:

Okay, i think the port has now reached ALPHA status. All major CHDK stuff is ported (but not deeply tested).

So anybody with a SX50HS with FW 1.00b, please test the attached ALPHA V1 build and report if something is not working or crashing (if its crash, a romlog would be helpfull).

Update: Here is the link to the also needed CHDK folder for the testbuild: http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=8932.msg93468#msg93468

Would you mind submitting a patch file for the SVN & autobuild ?  Mark the camera as

sx50hs,100b,ALPHA,,SKIP_AUTOBUILD

in the platform_camera.h file ?

I am a new user so please forgive me if I am being a bit dim.

I got my SX50 a few weeks ago, and afterwards found out about CHDK and have been eagerly waiting for a port to started on for it; I am the kind of person that likes taking things apart to make them better! I did some programming at college but that was 14 years ago so I grasp a little bit about how it works after reading the FAQ and some of the manual.

I have been playing with the port on my camera this evening and I have found some issues.

Trying to enable Zebra: "Fail to load zebra.flt: file not found"

Trying to force RAW pictures and therefore trying to create badpixel.bin using the built in function: "Fail to load: _dng.flt: file not found"

Would really like to get the RAW setting working. I know I get do this in Manual mode on the camera, but would like to get it working in Auto mode.

Regards.

This usually means that you did not extract the entire CHDK installation file fully to your SD card - including recreating all the directories from the installation file.

ERR99 only included the diskboot.bin and ps.fi2 files in the earlier post, not the complete build.
So it will be tricky for anyone to install and get working.
