This page is obsolete. Please head to: http://code.google.com/p/400plus/ for information on the latest hack of 400d.



This page contains information that is eventually meant to result in a CHDK port for the 400D / Rebel XTi.

Firmware info

Version

Latest Version v1.1.1
Firmware can be updated by end user and downloaded from Canon website. http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosdigital3/e4kr3_firmware-e.html
Firmware can be decrypted with the same utility that works for the Canon 30D. http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,134.msg2461.html#msg2461
firmware is loaded at 0xFF810000
