Nice work @srsa_4c  :D

FWIW, from the notes on https://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Event_Procedure#UI_RegistDebugEventProc_.2F_UI.Create  UI_RegistDebugEventProc / UI.Create should register all the button events by name, which might be more convenient for scripting. (edit: but may have side effects)

Don't forget what the H stands for.

Start the cam in playback mode and press SET.
The cam should do the following:
- display Init at the top of the screen - this text will change later
- switch to rec mode
- take 3 shots (this will only succeed if there is nothing preventing the cam from shooting)

I've created both files to the root of the SD, do I need to have SCRIPT in the boot sector?  How do you start the camera directly in playback mode?  ...mine start automatically in record

The card needs to be setup to run scripts (so yes, you need the string in boot sector and the script.req file): http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Canon_Basic/Card_Setup

Start the cam with the playback button (the one at the bottom with the arrow).

If anyone wants to try: the address in the CreateTask call needs to be adapted to each camera and firmware version. Post here (your camera model and its fw version) if you're unsure.
How can I find the address for my G1x  100e or M3  101a?

For this cam, use the following extend.m script:
With the correct address I should be also work on G1x and M3?

Is the Canon basic independent if the cam has a powershot or EOS firmware?
It looks like the Canon at the M50 has gone back to an EOS firmware ...

Probably, but I did not check. Button events might differ, but I don't think that's likely.
Reyalp's hint works (button events by name), but I won't modify this test script.

AFAIK real EOS cameras don't have Canon Basic.

On the g1x it’s works very well. Text on the top is visible. I haven’t checked M3.

What would you expect in the M50 (or EOS R)?

There is a discussion about M50 and other new EOS cameras.

...fine, I've setup the card based on the bash script from the wiki page (with the default hello word to start with)

The M6 has a rocker power switch, that's why I've asked... :-)
I've tried to hold the play button and then rock the switch to on but nothing happen when I press the SET button

I missed that detail. But, somehow, M5 and M6 users were able to run scripts - for example, here.

I guess you should switch the cam on then press playback then press SET (since, apparently, there is no way to start the cam directly in playback mode).

I've formatted a 64G card to FAT32 and done:
  • echo -n SCRIPT | dd bs=1 count=6 seek=496 of=/dev/mmcblk0
  • then created script.req and extend.m
