G10 Porting Process

[planetmarshall]

This is in the very early stages. So far I have identified the firmware vesion of my G10 as 1.03b ( Purchased May 09 ) and performed a dump using the UDumper method.

I have checked out the sources from svn and performd an initial build for g10/103b using g9/100i as a reference.

I haven't yet updated the wiki with this firmware version. Do the mods have a preference to where I should upload the file?

Regards,
Andrew.

Upload it zshare or rapidshare or something or anywhere like that and post a link in http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,288.180.html

I'm sure someone will add it to the drop.io repository.

Planetmarshall,

Any progress? I've been waiting for a port for the G10 for a while - not clever enough to do it myself!

Hi,
the firmware version of my G10 is GM1.04A.
Can I help somehow? I've got a Mac and I'm not familiar with any programming, though.

Maybe some people are wondering why CHDK would be useful for the well equipped G10.
Well, I definetely could need CHDK on my camera for these reasons:
- The exposure time in AV-mode is limited to 1 second. In twilight situations, one second is too short. A longer exposure time is useful if you want to shoot a series of photos using AEP (aperture bracketing) for HDR.
- Sometimes I would like to delete the RAWs and keep just the JPEGs. This is very handy if storage space is running short.
- I miss the zebra function in live view.

These are only some points that I noticed in the first days using the camera.

hi!
i just registered to this forum to say that i will probably get the g10 (i am still considering the lx3) in the coming days.. a lot of ppl would be pleased if such a project went into fruition

i agree w/ olf regarding the scripts to add. + shorter exposure
best regards

oh and what about 5 frames auto-braketing? or even 7.

If there is a CHDK port to the G10, it will have pretty much the same features as CHDK has on other cameras.

I understand..

Hi!

I'm trying to port CHDK to the G10, Firmware Version 104a (Dump available here: http://www.zshare.net/download/619706843eb7a2de/).

I'm somehow stuck, I hope someone can point me the right direction...

I already identified the LEDs and adjusted the wiki accordingly.

The boot process is fine in copy_and_restart() in loader/g10/resetcode/main.c - but startup() in platform/g10/main.c is never called

I've uploaded loader/g10/resetcode/main.c, platform/g10/sub/104a/makefile.inc and the disassembled boot- and restart-code of the firmware here: http://www.zshare.net/download/6197123834e2f819/

Anyone got any idea what I'm doing wrong?

OT: since I'm a non-windows user and couldn't find any Unix-Makefile for udumper, I've created one that works with Linux and MacOSX, it's uploaded here: http://www.zshare.net/download/6197098749c82973/

[bratfisch]

OK, I got it, guys...

Both the instructions in the WIKI for installing the toolchain on MacOSX and gentoo are wrong...
Both don't enable interworking on ARM - after compiling the stuff on my own my code works fine... - I'll place some warning in the WIKI ASAP.

I've uploaded the complete working g10/loader-code here: loader.tar.bz2 - 0.00MB

More code will come soon (at least I hope so )....

Good work !

I am sure a lot of people are interested in the G10.

progress is progressing! looks good, i have my G10 since 10 days and very pleased with it.

There's a really long way for a commercial camera to be as well equipped as even the cheapest powershot with CHDK, for our kind of camera geeks. G10 is good, but nowhere near as good as a camera should be for eg. me. That being said, I too anxiously wait for the G10 port to finish.

Great.

@bratfisch & everyone else: I'd be glad to help you as much as possible with the progress.
If there is any testing or similiar adventures, give me a nudge.

Let's rumble, guys! Senf auf die Bratwurstwurst!

How can I Help ?
I have a CANON G10 and can programming Assembler.
