I have the G12. I dumped the firmware using the procedure listed above.  The PRIMARY.BIN file is 8,128kb so I can send it by email.
What else can I do to help porting chdk to the G12?

Just wondering if there was any progress with this?

No news.  I dumped the firmware and could share it.  I have not found much time to dig here about information about decompiling it, finding the key addresses, recompiling etc.  I can definitely provide some assistance but it would take me a long time to *run* the full process on my own.

Could you at least post the firmware so that someone else could give it a shot? You don't need necessarily to email it to someone... there's free file hosting services such as mediafire or rapidshare or any number of others :)

If you have the camera, preparing a scriptdisk and running the cbasic dumper should be pretty easy. Certainly much easier than the rest of the porting process :)

As always, the port waits for a developer who has the camera.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

Getting the firmware is indeed very easy with the instructions posted here.  And here it is:

How could I help go one step further?

http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Adding_support_for_a_new_camera is the next step. See also http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/For_Developers

firmware version GM1.00C, DRYOS version 2.3, release #0045

Hi guys. I own a G12 and managed to dump the firmware following your instructions.
I'll have a look at the other links and try to do my best to help. Just to let you know.
And, oh! Thanks!

First problem here. Someone can give me a hint on how to convince CHDK-Shell to build the firmware for a new model?
I created a platform/g12/sub/100c directory but the shell seems to ignore it.

@buttim

Apart from the /platform dir tree for your cam, you also need:

- a /loader tree for your cam
- entries for your cam in /include/camera.h
- entries for your cam/firmware in the root Makefile (add $(MAKE) lines in both the "batch-zip:" and
  "batch-zip-complete:" sections - they start at lines 138 and 287 in trunk991)

Note that this is just what I know CHDK-Shell needs to compile; I never ported a cam, so there could be more, check reyalP's links a couple of posts up.
The Makefile entries are what CHDK-Shell evaluates to determine which cams/firmwares to show in the cam panel.

cheers,

wim
