reyalp, thank you for pointing out dancingbits. I had compleatly overlooked that.

Revision 552 did not run dancingbits as part of the make. Running dancingbits manually changes the behavior of the camera. Now it will not boot at all. I assume this means it is recognizing the DISKBOOT.BIN, loading it and crashing...

esom:
I tried your approach (thanks for the ideea):
I ran 'svn update' and resolved the conflicts. Then I added 'NEED_ENCODED_DISKBOOT=very_yes' to 'platform/a1000/sub/100b/makefile.inc'.
To avoid function calls to unresolved addresses I edited 'platform/generic/wrappers.c', commenting out the four function calls to unresolved adresses. This turned the edited functions into do nothing functions.
The result is the same. The camera will not boot at all.

That sounds about right.

Crashing could be a result of incorrectly configured GCC or binutils, although AFAIK the instructions you followed should be OK.

You could also try turning on an LED at various points to see where it is crashing.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

I inserted code to blink the led's in loader/main.c following the istructions in http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Adding_support_of_a_new_camera#A_trick_for_keeping_track.
It worked! Thank you, Reyalp for the suggestion.  Now I can try to track down where my camera crashes...

It turns out most of the LEDs have the same addresses as in the a720. I copied the list of adresses onto http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/A1000IS.

I would like to ask: Has anyone compiled Diablos code from source sucessfully?

I have compiled it but the camera does not boot.

Hi,

I'm going to be trying to port the A2000IS, and I was thinking that this might be a good starting point.  so, first , thanks to Diablo for posting your source.

I have a couple questions for the community
 - Is the A1000 probably a good starting point, rather than the A720?
 - when does a camera get added to trunk?  I notice that diablo's a1000 isn't in trunk.  Is that because it has not yet reached some standard of doneness?  People obviously want to collaborate on this project, but it's difficult to do that if the code is not in source control.

Thanks!

Rather than repeating, I'll just link my post in http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,3977.0.html

I would not suggest the A1000 as a reference, because it was unfinished, the code is against an old version of the trunk, and it was done by someone who was fairly new to the CHDK codebase.

Also, you might want to get in touch with the OP of that thread I linked, since he was also going to work on the A2000

As to why A1000 isn't in the trunk yet... partly because it was never finished, and partly because diablo took a long time to post his source, and partly laziness... I will probably check in the platform code so it will be easier for someone to continue work on it.

Ports generally get added to the trunk when they are pretty much complete, although I am in favor of adding work-in-progress as it makes it easier for people to collaborate.

Thanks Diablo & others for the effort you put in this project. I am able to get almost all the settings done like ap, iso, shutter speed, etc. Need a couple of clarifications though
1. RAW image saving option is seen, enabled & seen in display. Where can we see the saved raw image? or is it not being saved? any spl process for that?
2. Optical zoom in video mode is not working. pls guide if i need to do smthin.

TIA

Hi all, I just got a A1000IS and loaded the beta release of CHDK. Everything seems to be starting up fine, I can run test scripts but I can not get the remote shutter to work. I got the USB cable wired correctly, I have the script (from the WIKI) running and when I close the switch (connect the 5V wire), the camera responds by going to playback mode and no picture is taken. As soon as I disconnect the wire it goes back to normal.

I might be missing something obvious, please help, previous posts indicate the remote shutter is working.

Thanks!
