Is it really necesserily to use  110 firmware?
https://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=12542.msg129314#msg129314

New firmware does not fix the problem with IS control on my Sigma lens:
camera freezes during power-off process for a few minutes with muted display and active IS. It looks like problem is caused by EFLensCom.Disconnect function.

So my question to other developers: how to save something(manual focus value) and how to do something during power-off process?

Edit #3:- EOS M3 and M10 Firmware Update, 01st June 2016 , 12:00am

"...Changes in Canon Firmware Version 1.1.0 is incorporated with the following functional improvement:-  "

"...Improves the autofocus speed for movie when the EF-M 28mm F3.5 IS STM is attached to the EOS M3..."

End of Edit #3

I have two "Good EOS M3-100d", and a "Faulty EOS M3-101a" which I don't intend to Up-Date.

Just guessing from the ML post above there may be Newer Canon Firmware Up-dates available. ??
If so, to download 101a and "Newer" versions, of the encrypted Canon Firmware Up-dates you will
need to enter a valid EOS-M3 or M10 serial Number.

Currently the 101a version is the only version that has a CHDK port that is working.
My "Faulty EOS M3-101a" will only power up via the play key and can only be turned off by removing the
battery or by crashing the camera. ( ??? )
The other strange thing that happens is that the Aspect Ratio is reset to 1:1 when using CHDK ( ??? )
There are also some CHDK stuff that needs to be ported @ CHDK-101a R29.

The  100d version will require a separate CHDK porting attempt.
Using IDA-6v95 (Demo) I have found most of the changes need, but have not yet tested the 100d version.
Note that the IDA-6v95 disassembly will have some differences that will need further investigations.
So, I just create temporary IDA-6v95 disassembly file's, and then a the CHDK file's.

If there is a "NEW" M3 version then a "NEW" M3 version Firmware dump will be needed, and a
link posted.
A "NEW" M3 CHDK version porting attempt will also probably be the required.

Edit #1 Using Acid (Automatic Camera Identifier) to Identify the M3 version.

Acid Ref:- http://www.zenoshrdlu.com/acid/acid.html

Note #1 Acid Down loader won't work for the M3.

Edit #2 See attached Acid Files for EOS M3-100d & M3-101a

2x "Working" Canon 22mm STM lenses.
3x   "Faulty" Canon "Original" lenses.
Lot's of Canon FD "Original" lenses.

So my question to other developers:
how to save something(manual focus value)
and how to do something during power-off process?

a/ What "Original Canon" lenses do you have. ??
b/ What "Non Canon" lenses do you have. ??

What happens when you "M" mode. ??

Ref: EOS M3 Canon users Manual:-
(From Memory) "...Shooting with out "Original Canon" lenses is supported in (Four??) modes. ???

Try hooking - directly or indirectly - task_Bye (0xfc131084 on 101a unless I'm wrong). I don't remember anyone doing this, so you'll need to do some research.

This is probably done differently on an ILC camera, so I don't know. The possibility of changing lenses makes this even more complicated.

Okay so I got 101a on my camera with little effort thanks to everyone's guidance, however, when I attempt to install the CHDK build onto my card with STICK I am encountered with this error:

I'm not talking about getting focus value. I whant to be sure that file io system is still active when I save my data to SD card during power-off process.

To my knowledge, task_Bye (real name is "Bye") does the things necessary for shutting down the camera. If you replace it with a modified copy, you could try this:
Code: [Select]
task_Bye:
    push    {r4, lr}
    ldr     r4, =0x8390
    movs    r1, #0        ; wait indefinitely
    ldr     r0, [r4, #8]
    blx     loc_fc302318  ; j_TakeSemaphore
    ...
Put your code right after the TakeSemaphore call. Make sure you block the task until you're done with your operation.

edit:
One more thing. task_Bye has only 512 bytes of stack by default which is not a lot. Take that into account.

What about using debug unit in Monitor debug-mode for intercepting canon's code?
Potentially we can get 8 breakpoints + 8 watchpoints, but I did not found access to all debug registers...

I won't be able to help with that due to zero experience... Can you even use that facility without attaching external hardware to the DIGIC?

Why do we need external hardware for our purposes?
