Download a recent CHDK Version from autobuild server. Copy all files on SD card. Start the camera by holding the [PLAYBACK] button for 1-2 seconds. Start CHDK manually over Canon menu item "Firm update". When CHDK is starting go into ALT mode by pressing [DISP.]+[FUNC.SET] button. Choose in CHDK menu "Miscellaneous stuff". Go to "Make card bootable... " and press [FUNC.SET]. Switch off camera. Lock the SD card.

Start the camera. Now CHDK should start automatically.

Is there anywhere a list of the Canon cameras that have DryOS R47? I'd like to put a note on my SDMInst page telling people with such cameras they don't need use it to produce dual-partition cards (and modify my MacBoot program so it can create bootable single-partition FAT32 cards for them).

I'm aware that it seems to apply to 2011 cameras only - but does it apply to all of them (Ixus and Powershot)? To any 2010 cameras?

This is where I go to look at such questions : DPReview Timelines

AFAIK, it applies to both camera model  types.

... or search CHDK source code for "#define CAM_DRYOS_2_3_R47" (for supported cams only, of course)

Thanks whim and waterwingz. It seems that currently only the SX220hs, SX230HS and IXUS310HS (ELPH500HS) currently have working CHDK/DE builds and are R47 - these were Feb 7th and August 23rd 2011 cameras. I see from the A2200 porting thread (reply 16) that this is DryOS R47 too. It was released on January 5th, so is it reasonable to assume that all 2011 cameras will have the capability too?

So far all 2011 cameras have the updated boot code in the firmware.
The IXUS220 (Elph300HS) is also R47.
Also applies to R49 (SX40HS and SX150IS so far).

Working great on my SX40 HS with 16gb HDSC card..

I've updated my OSX MacBoot app so that you can use it to make FAT32 cards bootable for CHDK (which will of course only work for DryOS R47 or later cameras).
