SD870 porting - first steps?

[acseven]

relax...

on topic: I want to use CHDK in my camera, so help the guy out.

[GrAnd]

I was lucky to borrow the body of IXIS860 for one day...
You can see the result -

YouTube - IXUS 860 IS CHDK

But I can't continue because the battery is dead and I have no charger.

Hmm. I charged IXUS700 Li-Ion battery from 5V power source via small resitor (200-300 mA current limit) with continuous battery voltage monitoring (maximum is 4.1V, absolute maximum is 4.2V). When voltage reaches 4.1V, battery must be disconnected (~60-70% of full charge).

GrAnd maybe i can help you with the porting of chdk. I've sent you a p.m.

P.D: great work!!

Once compiled and loaded in a bootable sd card, the camera doesn't turn on, I mean, It does nothing. I had to remove battery in order to get back to normal.

--> The camera got hanging, so it reacts to your code, but I expect that this is not the way you want it to be...

Does anyone know the minimun code that should be written in boot.c in order to test if it works?

--> Would be very nice to know indeed, is there anybody out there?

Aggr, ok , I was too slow.

Ok. I've checked the code in: trunk #341.
Have not implemented yet:
- Multipartition booting
- USB remote
- Leds control

I did not check all features. I did not check whether scripts work.

Also, there is a problem with entering to folders in FileManager.
And, It's needed to disable drawing of "TouchWheel" in <ALT> mode. (Tried a trick? from ixus65 without success)

Have a nice playing with...

PS. Autobuild is ready

*me quietly goes away on vacation with CHDK on my nice little precious ixus .... and and in the meantime shutdown the board*

muahahah...

thanks for this, I was really looking forward to use it. Game on crew

You two should not have fun of the frustration of the people!!!
There are still people without CHDK on their camera and they could kill for that

Ok. I have to find S5 ASAP to prevent a carnage.

Well, after reading the wikia's FAQ and firmware usage sections, I made it work. Now out for testing...

Thank's for this, truly grand you are, GrAnd!

Yeah... I noticed.

Doesn't it come in an what-a-n00bie version...?
