Hi all,
Sorry for tailgating this thread, but the subject at least seems appropriate. Yes, I'm a NOOB looking for free help. I'e spent a couple of evenings fiddling-around trying to get a firmware dump and I've come to the conclusion it's not possible to run cBasic scripts on my particular SKU of the camera (Tedious details below). So I'm about to give up for good and thought I'd have one last bleat to see if there's something blindingly obvious I'm doing wrong.
I recently got an IXUS 115 HS here in Australia, because of the 1080p/24 and 240fps features. I thought I might try the CHDK software because I'd like to fiddle with every little feature. I realise it's early development for this camera, but I thought I'd try it out anyway.
I've tried using an 8G microSD and a 1G microSD card in an SD carrier. Under Ubuntu 8.04 Linux I've tried partitioning the 8G card with a single 2G partition or using the whole 8G. I've tried formatting the 8G card in both Fat32 and fat16 format. I've tried using a single BIOS-partition and a raw whole-disk filesystem format (The camera can write photos to either way of partitioning). I've manually set the "SCRIPT" string under Linux on both the BIOS boot sector and the first partition and also using the Windows EOSCard tool (Which I presume sets the "correct" location).
In every attempt, starting-up with the "play" button (with photo-mode switch in either "camera" or "auto" modes) gets me to a "No image." screen (No photos on camera), If I hold the "FUNC SET" button now for a few seconds, I get an animated digital clock. Regardless of whether I got the clock up first, pressing "DISP." with "FUNC SET" held has no discernible effect. I also tried holding zoom-in prior to pressing "FUNC SET", but this also does nothing.
So, anyone got any clues?
Thanks for indulging me and keep hacking like mad!
M0les.
