[edit] Firmware info

[edit] Version

The trick with the ver.req file works on the A530 as well, with the following result:

Canon PowerShot A530
P-ID:3126  PAL
 
Firmware Ver GM1.00A
No error
Dec 14 2005   09:32:59

pressing DISP button again results in:

Canon PowerShot A530
P-ID:3126  PAL

Adj Ver.002.004

[edit] For Developers

• The platform ID (P-ID) of the A530 is 3126 (Platform codes for other models can be looked up under P-ID).

With respect to the platform id, the A530 fits in between the A540 and the A710, so possibly it is similar to those firmwares. (Firmware is very similar to A700)

[edit] Firmware flash

0xff800000: firmware flash data (probably)
0xffc00000: mirror copy of firmware flash? (to be determined)

[edit] LED addresses

0xc0220080: 0x46 enables orange focus assist LED, 0x44 disables it
0xc0220084: 0x46 enables blue print LED, 0x44 disables it
