I'm starting to realize just how different the 5dc is from all cameras. There is nothing else in the same group as it. The startup code is more like the 400d, while the tasks (like gui main task) seem to be more like modern DryOS cameras like the 5d2.
actually i find it more like 400d than what you would expect
or to be correct, 400d is like 5dc
the tasks in 400d are not so different than the ones in 5dc and in the DryOS cameras.
I do not understand 400plus very well, specifically the main event queue you guys hijack, something about event proxy or something. I have not found anything like this in the 5dc yet, it seems to be very similar to modern DryOS cameras.
it's just an abstract work, though the ML and your path are based mostly on GUI task hijacking, and our work is based mostly on InterCom/MainCtrl hijacking... different tasks, nothing more.
I think 5dplus is going to take a very similar path to MagicLantern. It's very similar to DryOS cameras, but not similar enough to port MagicLantern on it (mainly because of things like the bmp vram being half the size, so all printing routines like bmp_hexdump need to be rewritten to fit on the 5dc screen).
i too believe it wont be possible to port ML on vxworks camera... atleast not w/o too much of effort...
though the DryOs cameras are very similar with VxWorks cameras, canon kept their api almost the same, or atleast it looks like this... i guess DryOs cameras would have more functionality of course.
At the rate things are going, I'm projecting 5dplus to be available to the public by the end of this month. I've almost got the framework written for a hack, it's just a matter of finishing now. Once I have the property system figured out, that will be the last thing on the list before I begin writing a menu system and add features.
My guess would be for much more time
you will have to fight a lot more battles IMO, but i will be happy if you prove me wrong
Though we shall acknowledge your fast progress these days
I'm excited to see what this camera can do Here's a (not so organized) list of things I've discovered recently:
- setting ISO property above ISO3200 does not seem to have any effect, so ISO caps out a 3200.
- inbetween ISO values like iso2500 don't seem to work, it just sets it to ISO3200.
- the properties seem to work the same as in magic lantern dryos cameras, I used the values for the ISO property from lens.h of magic lantern to test the ISO stuff.
I'm not vary familiar with the iso stuff, but Edu perhaps could help you...
- I discovered that the maximum size for an autoexec.bin seems to be about 2mb, anything higher causes the camera to crash in play mode. This means 5dplus has plenty of room to grow for the future.
while it's quite possible to have 2mb of space for your stuff,
i wonder how much ram is there ... it seems like 8mb in 400d, but could be more...
