This looks quite useful, so I added this as an action in CHIMP.
I know that I'm nagging, but being able to load unofficial build would be useful too.

I'll see if I can fit that in 0.9.6.

In the meantime, I updated the overlay branch and binary.

Edit: Added screenshots.

Side note: the scripts posted here will need an update in future as Canon plans to release firmware updates to all cams mentioned here.

This makes me wonder. The script as produced by CHIMP ATM has this simplified check:

Code: [Select]
public sub check_compat()
    if Peek16(0xe1f20270) = {platform_id} then
        check_compat = 1
    else
        check_compat = 0
    end if
end sub

AFAIK the PID address is constant, but the revision addresses change across platforms (and revisions???). Is there any way to glean those from CHDK code? CHDK itself doesn't seem to validate the revision when it starts.

It is, for a range of models.

Not really as the script is for unported cameras. There is an event procedure that can get the firmware version: GetInternalFirmwareVersion . It can be added to the script if necessary.

For most ports, it does. See loader/generic/*

Ah, didn't see that, thanks!

What is it generated from? I only found a couple bin_comp_fix.h files under platforms/*/sub/

If it works on all platforms, that would be perfect (I'm looking to support m3 and m10 as well).

@waterwingz Thank you!

At long last, I have all the pieces of the puzzle, so the final check_compat for m100 becomes:

Code: [Select]
public sub check_compat()
    if Peek16(0xe1f20270) = 0x32d1 then
        check_compat = 1
    else
        check_compat = 0
    end if
    if strcmp("1.00A", 0xe047b5b3) <> 0 then
        check_compat = 0
    end if
end sub

Here's the updated build.

In addition to the fixed compatibility check, it features a list of supported revisions if the current revision is unsupported (see screenshot).

Edit: Removed, newer version below.

Now, I'm wondering if the same script would work for other cameras.

The attached screenshot (not the actual CHIMP beta) contains a partial list.

Two things.
1) The method used in the script is only usable on DIGIC 6 and 7 cameras.
2) There aren't too many cameras where the HDMI is enabled in rec mode. All of them are DIGIC 6 or 7.
