A540

From CHDK Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search
 


Following the example of the A530 page, everything that might be useful for a port of CHDK to A540 should be posted here.

[edit] Firmware info

As in the A530 case, the ver.req file works as well in this model. It shows the following:

Canon PowerShot A540
P-ID:311B PAL

Firmware Ver GM1.00B
No error
Jan 31 2006 11:02:45

Pressing DISP returns:

Adj Ver.002.002

Note that the platform ID is almost the same as the S3 IS model: 311B vs 311A.

The vers.req file works, too.

[edit] Firmware dump available

On the http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Porting_the_CHDK page Eric has sucessfully downloaded the firmware already. I just copy the talk here: The firmware is available at http://www.datenschleuder.eu/get_00dffa1b5da74c038e1d548055d37531.html and the password is "a504". You can download that at http://rapidshare.com/files/70092983/ps_a540_100B.7z.html as well.

[edit] An initial CHDK build (very beta)

There is already an inital porting to A540. I got a source code from GrAnd, which was almost ready. I fixed it a little bit and compiled it. There are some values which are possibly wrong, still, I could use the image. (It is almost sure, that video is not working)

The source is here: http://www.zshare.net/download/502108238be28d/ And the binaries are here: http://www.zshare.net/download/5021240ec3e14c/

[edit] Bugs in "initial"

  • The clock isn't shown properly: the right number of the minutes isn't in the screen.
  • An activated grid (Golden ratio) is also shown when the original Conaon menu is open
  • Make bootable doesn't work

[edit] a540 Chdk Port beta 0.5

Here is a new beta-port based on the old build and the last allbest-fingalo release.

Many parameters are fixed.

Video, USB and autoboot should work. Display now shows the right zoom-values.

[edit] Bugs in beta 0.5

  • The clock isn't shown properly: the right number of the minutes isn't in the screen.
Sorry, i can't confirm that. On my a540 the minutes are shown properly.
You are both right. The initial value was too way right on my A540.
But after moving left using the OSD Layout Editor all digits are readable.
So it seems to be a cosmetic issue not an error.
