What amount of control do you have over the camera? Is there any way to make a memory dump or display memory contents on the LCD?
I have no control as yet. I just today installed arm-elf-gcc and friends and have not tried to re-write any code.
My camera currently has FW105 in ROM from the factory. I have not upgraded to FW108 yet because I wanted to wait and see if anyone had complaints about the upgrade. I need to check if the camera will let me install the
same version that is already in ROM. If both FW's are on the CF card the camera will display them both in a list, but I don't know if it will reject older versions when actually proceeding with the update. If it does allow that then I will feel more confident about running a modded flasher (this camera is only a few months old!).
I also know that the USB port is up and running when upgrading because the FW can be installed via USB and the EOSUtility program, from what I've read. Maybe debugging output from the Debug Manager can be sent to the USB port. Hey, wait... I wonder if the EOSUtility program can decrypt the firmware?
