For developers

Chdk porting (outdated)

SD1100 now in svn/trunk. Get autobuilds here: CHDK Autobuild Server

Work in progress. Fourth Alpha is based on rev 535 trunk (New CHDK).

It currently supports both firmware versions that have been reported thus far: GM1.00C and GM1.01A.

Download latest version here: http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,2044.msg23771.html#msg23771 (need to be logged into the forum to see the attached files).

Then use CardTricks or Bootable_SD_card to setup your SD card. After identifying your firmware, change the name of the respective filename to DISKBOOT.BIN and copy to SD card. (there is no need for a PS.FIR file as the camera runs on DryOS.)

This cam can't start chdk via "Firmware Update" as described in the manual!

For the "manual start" method, you must copy the PS.FI2 file to the root directory along with DISKBOOT.BIN and the CHDK folder to find the "Firm Update..." menu option.  The "Firm Update..." option will appear as the last item under the first screen (the "playback" tab, has an arrow inside a square) when you press the MENU button.

Known Issues (outdated)

• Using manual focus in PLAY mode may cause damage (CHDK bug, see here)

• Using any scripts engaging the cam mechanic (focus, zoom, ND filter) in PLAY mode may also cause problems, same bug

• Support pending for: move rec. stuff and large SD support

• if any override (ISO/ND) used, the cam takes bad pics. likely for every DryOS cam: Overriding works but the canon software doesn't know about and calculates wrong TV!

• We run out of buttons: try "Enable Fast EV switch". Now we have buttons with two functions! The bug is, that chdk should not dispatch this key events if they are already handled.

• Same problem with the key "halfshoot + left" (not in ALT mode). While canon function = AFL (lock focus), Chdk = dis/enable overrides, so the keystrokes does both while in CHDK right now

Note about the different Firmwares

Cameras with the 1.01b firmware can/must use the CHDK version for 1.01a - the autobuild already just copies this, so when you have a 1.01b cam you will find YOUR version in the autobuild.

Development is happening in the 1.01a tree, then compiled and just renamed for the 1.01b people. (That is not correct. Porting happened in 100c tree, the 101a is a "blind" port, and 101b ist just a copy of it. - chr) - you are right, but this information was intended for owners of 1.01b people mainly. and the 1.01b coding IS done in the 1.01a tree - which then in turn is a "blind" port).
