CHDK Hacking


The cameras are new. So new, that the CHDK hasn't been ported onto them yet, which presents a challenge to dive in to the world of firmware dumping, reverse engineering, assembly parsing and cross platform coding.
So, step one of the project: build a cross platform ARM tool-chain, check out source from the CHDK project, dump the camera firmware, disassemble it, poke around the assembly for "clues" and create a functioning port.
More on this in the porting thread of the CHDK forum.
