...the software although ported for firmware version G also seems to work (so far without any issues) on version F firmware.

Thanks for the info, i've added a note to the SD30 wikia page

Hi,

I have an old Ixus iZoom firmware ver 1.00H, having stumbled across CHDK I would really like to be able to get the motion detection facility working on my camera.

Having I read that the build for ver 1.00G worked OK on a 1.00F camera, I have tried to install it on mine... It didn't install - I just got a permanent blue LED. I got bored after waiting 2 or 3 minutes (How long should it take to install?) and pulled the battery. Camera till works, so no harm done.

So, my questions are -

Is it possible to downgrade the firmware from 1.00H to G or F?

If so, can someone point me at instructions for re-flashing the firmware. I have managed to find a copy of 1.00F, but not found 1.00G yet.

Thanks

Basically, no.  Firmware changes only come for Canon and they are few and far between.  And they never go backwards to an earlier version even when they exist.

No - this totally blew me away when I found out a while back when I first found this forum, but no, you generally cannot change the firmware on your camera.

The somewhat good news is that it is generally easier to make a version of CHDK that works on your camera's firmware version when there is already one out for another firmware version of your same camera.

The first step is to get a firmware dump for your camera.  Follow the guide here: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Obtaining_a_firmware_dump

Once you have it, attach it to a post in this thread or upload it somewhere like www.box.com so that we can add it to the collection of firmware dumps at http://www.box.com/chdk .

I'm trying to compile all the cameras with CHDK shell, and the ixusizoom_SD30 stops the process with an error because CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X1 is undefined. Would it be possible to add these cropping definitions, assuming they are correct? They are taken from a camera with the same sensor dimensions as the SD30. That is,
    #define CAM_RAW_ROWPIX                  2672    // for 5 MP
    #define CAM_RAW_ROWS                    1968    // for 5 MP

It builds on the autobuild server and using a normal toolchain on Windows, Linux and OS/X - so perhaps the problem is CHDK-Shell?

The actual error message might help others diagnose the real problem.

There is no problem with the CHDK shell. A compiler test with the trunk (3147) was successful.

This camera does not support RAW/DNG. Perhaps there is a problem with the extra code.

Yes, the error is with my added code for the shot meter, which uses CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X1. I should be using the camera_sensor structure instead, I suppose. Or maybe add an #if directive like the one in camera_info.c

Code: [Select]
#if defined(CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X1) && defined(CAM_JPEG_WIDTH)
    {{
        (CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X2-CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X1-CAM_JPEG_WIDTH)/2, (CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y2-CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y1-CAM_JPEG_HEIGHT)/2,
        CAM_JPEG_WIDTH, CAM_JPEG_HEIGHT
    }},
    { { CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y1, CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X1, CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y2, CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X2 } },
#else
    {{
        0, 0,
        0, 0
    }},
    { { 0, 0, 0, 0 } },
#endif
Interestingly, this camera is apparently the only one the doesn't define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X1. Do you think raw_process() is still called, with a valid raw buffer available, even though it doesn't support raw saving?

I just discovered that CHDK shell works great with "BATCH" checked to compile all the cameras, which is how I discovered the problem with this camera. Thanks for the help, and for CHDK Shell!
