I see the confusion now. 

Some time ago I added the Beta Testing Status page to track what works and doesn't work. What mostly doesn't work is the Beta Testing Status page itself - nobody seems really interested in keeping it up to date (unfortunately including me).  I guess I should probably delete it.

Meanwhile,  in answer to your question,  yes, I'm sure the 102c and 103c version are pretty much in the same state.

EDIT :  @bugemenot - if you have a 102c - how about loading up Beta 6, testing and updating the Beta Testing Status page for that firmware ?
That clears up things. Thanks :P

Oh and yes I will try installing and testing for 102c. *fingers crossed*

Could you upload both firmwares again, the zshare links have expired ?

Thanks.

Beta 7  now ready based on latest source tree 1054.  Code cleaned up for eventual inclusion in main trunk. PTP now working for sending and receiving files.  Stub for set_control_event() changed in both fw version to match SX30 address - looks like a better match but switch_mode_usb() still not working.

I have bought a IXUS 120 this week because of your great work on porting chdk to this camera. Of course I was praying for a 1.03c firmware.
Turned out to be a 1.03b... which seems like a worst case scenario to me.
Since I haven't a clue how to port or even analyse firmware, I'm wondering if I should sell the camera.

Will it be difficult to make chdk available for 1.03b? I've read that RoninTech tried to do it, but unfortunately he's to busy now to continue.

I don't think I'd call it a worst case scenario - there is quite a bit of interest in a 1.03b port.  I haven't heard of anybody with a 1.03a or 1.02a - that would be a worst case scenerio if you bought one of those.  There is also a 1.01a version dumped but I have not seen anything on that recently.

Since I haven't a clue how to port or even analyse firmware, I'm wondering if I should sell the camera.

Well, the good news is that I'm working with another rookie developer who has started on the 1.03b for his camera.  Should be a lot faster for him than it was for me as he's working from an existing port and getting coaching and encouragement from me.   If he gets stuck and I get the time I'll probably do some of the port too.

So no guarantees but I would not sell that camera just yet ?

Hi there, I own a SD940 with 1.03b firmware and would like to contribute to the port. I need some guiding/mentoring though, can anyone help?

Thank you for that reply and all your effort you put into porting chdk.
I would also like to contribute, if I can. So if there is any need for testing or anything else, I'm happy to help.
Yesterday I've even tried the file for 1.03c and 1.02c because I was so curious.  :)
At least the AF light turned on.

Take a look at these pages :
http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/For_Developers
http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Adding_support_for_a_new_camera
http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Adding_support_of_a_new_firmware_version
Do you feel you can take something like that on or would a testing roll for someone else's port be more suitable ?

With the Beta versions of CHDK for the SD940,  the AF light gets turned on in the boot loader, which is the first thing that runs when CHDK starts.  I stuck that in there early in the porting process just so I could tell that I had loaded the image correctly each time that I made a code change.  The bootloader code is common to all ports of the same camera model.   The flash of the AF lamp is not a standard feature in other CHDK ports although its common to all the CHDK versions for the SD940. 

This is good new - it means you have successfully loaded CHDK code to your SD card and have made it boot.  That's a big step for most people.
