Thanks for the support.

I've got CHDK to run this afternoon. Only the exp_drv_task causes a crash when taking a picture. Without this task there are no apparent problems and the task seems to be needed only when long exposure times are needed. (Not even sure they are supported by the camera.) Note that I haven't done any serious testing, as I have no idea what that would be. In other words, I could use some help with that.

Tomorrow I think I will clean up a bit and post what I have and some of the things that still need to be done. Some of those I will probably not be able to do on my own.

This is much appreciated. I recently purchased this model and can't wait to take advantage of its full potential.

Ok. the first version is ready. I updated the IXUS870IS wiki page with lists of what is still to be done. The items under "important" should probably all be done or "downgraded" before we make this an actual beta version. If you can help with any of these things (even just adding details on how to do certain things) that would be very welcome. As are comment/suggestions.

Disclaimer: Please note that this just the very first and very experimental version of the port. Safety is off.

Edit: Of course, if you find anything that doesn't work like it should, I would really like to hear it. I'm new to the CHDK myself and not familiar enough with all its features to notice anything missing. Just be sure to check the Known Issues section on the wiki page first to avoid duplicates.

I forgot to add that the problem with the exp_drv_task was just a stupid mistake I made. It now works and extra long exposure times seem to work fine.

Sorry, I should probably have noted that the port is for 1.01a only at the moment.

Is this 1.01e a new firmware version or did you mean 1.00e? In the first case it would nice if you (or someone else) can put it on the wiki. In the second case I would like to know whether there is a reason to not upgrade to 1.01a. (Not that I'm telling you to upgrade; I'm just curious.)

In any case, making the port for a different firmware might be easy if the differences are minimal, otherwise it will take a while longer. I can have a look at it if nobody else takes on the challenge, but I think we should first focus on getting a beta version for 1.01a. This probably avoids a lot of duplicate work when porting other versions.

Hmm... can you check your firmware version? I wouldn't know what else could cause it.
