Hi all
As owner of an S2 IS (since 2005), my new SX1 IS is finally the awaited worthy upgrade. BUT: I really miss CHDK on the SX1 (basically the scripts like motion detection)....on the SX10 side there is already a first version available. I'm really envy you guys (owner of a SX10).
I've managed to dump the 2.00h firmware (after official upgrade) to the forum/section here, but despite of having some programming skills (even assembler in older times) I'm a little bit lost. I will assumably need about a full months time to get deep enough into "porting CHDK"....or let's say: I deeply admire the work of the "porters".
What I know since tonight - the current SX10 CHDK version - will not start on the SX1 (update error - after starting "firmware upgrade" - so entry/Load Adresses are definately different one's on the SX1).
Now: Are there any other SX1 owners around with porting skills?
I assume that by April (when the SX1 starts in the US) there will be a boost/increase of SX1 owners worldwide. The more owners, the more "power" to port CHDK. However: The earlier a version is available - the better it is
So I hope this will be - similar to the SX10 thread - the topic, which will host the SX1 porting process.
Every SX1 owner is invited to post his vote here too.
