waterwingz , you wote "What did I miss ?"
Well probabbly this part of what citizenx wrote
> however pressing any further button (e.g. menu) causes the camera to turn off.
Great that you are porting for IXUS120 SD940, and great you dumped v1.03C I wish you success isn creating a BETA.
titbb, if there would be a working version I would not have started the port
. There is a difference in working and booting the CHDK firmware. Working means you have functioality of the CHDK , e.g the abillity to run scripts etc.
To know what amount of effort you have to put in to get a working beta you can read
http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Adding_support_of_a_new_camera even if it is not a "NEW" camera a new Firmware version takes about the same amount of work.
Also made my own toolchain since on a 64Bit Linux and needed speciffic ARM GCC optiona compiled in.
Just FYI waterwingz, "stuck back at an earlier step",
Not really
it is now just the hard work of adding functions step by step for v1.0.1c of the IXUS200 SD980
A new week and will continue working of the firmware.... THX for all the encouragement.
