PowerShot SX100 IS

CHDK is available for the Powershot SX100 with firmware 1.00C and 1.00B from the Download page.

The SX100 has multi partition support, that means: SDHC cards with a capacity > 4GB can be used with the autostart loading method.

Total Shoot  :552    <-- total? shoots were made
Open Shutter :0
Close Shutter:0

In my firmware 1.00B the "DRYOS version 2.3, release #0023" can be found in the ROM area.

For Developers

LED memory addresses

To run the blinker you must have "bootable" SD card with "diskboot.bin"

#define LED_AF    0xc02200C0 // AutoFocus
#define LED_BLUE  0xc02200C4 // next to the printer
#define LED_RED   0xc02200C8 // next to the play button, rather orange
#define LED_GRN   0xc02200CF // in the same position as above, but in green
#define LED_PWR   0xc02200D0 // green power on top of the camera

Dumping the firmware

An almost ready made dumping version (camera, PC), is available you can find here: blinker_sx100.zip

It could be very good to know if all the 1.00B versions are the same and what is the difference among versions.

Firmware dumps

Firmware dumps of the 1.00B and 1.00C firmwares are available from the drop.io chdkdumps backup archive:
