Version information

In PLAY mode (without ver.req) press FUNCSET and DISP simultaneously: 

Firmware Ver. 1.0.0.0

[ OK ]

In PLAY mode (empty file named ver.req must be previously created on card root) press FUNCSET and DISP simultaneously:

P-ID:315E PAL D

Firmware Ver GM1.00B

NoError

subsequent press of DISP (while still holding FUNCSET) reveals: 

Adj Ver.009.005

subsequent press of DISP (while still holding FUNCSET) reveals: 

IS Firm Ver. 2.30 

IS Param Ver. 2.20

On another camera, the following results were seen:

subsequent press of DISP (while still holding FUNCSET) reveals:

If you use vers.req instead of ver.req at the last screen is the following instead of the previous: 

Adj Ver.009.005 
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.

Running CHDK

After CHDK is installed on the SD card, turn camera on by pressing the "Play" button (i.e. switch it to play mode). After that, go to menu and enter "Firmware update" menu item.

In case the card is made bootable and is locked to read-only mode, CHDK is loaded automagically on device power-on.


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:
Saveas64

Download location for firmware dumps:
→ P&S firmware dumps mirror


Porting process

  • Porting the SX100 is finished.
  • Discussion forum is available for the development of porting at chdk.setepontos.com
