Hi there
I have Canon 5DsR and i would like to help porting ML on it.
I'm just looking for a RAW video record capabilities like i did used with my 6d before.

What I need to do (step by step) to make this real.

I'm a windows not linux user is that a problem?

I'm serious about it.

Cheers

You are a programmer fluent in C and Assembler for embedded systems (preferable ARM architecture) and are able and willing to spend several hundred hours to bring ML to this cam and do longtime support after = You will be maintainer for this cam.

...I'm serious about it.

All required information is available through spending some serious time within this forum section:

Additionally +1 on what Walter Schulz said.

to 5DsR:

That the 5Ds, capturing files over 2x as large as the 5D III, gives up only 1 fps to that camera is impressive.

RAW video could be really fun with it as it looks to have much more RAM available (compared to 5DIII).

Make it happen @shazzy!

Be serious guys i doubt that everyone here is porting ML alone.
I'm willing to spend my time and camera for egzample for dumping the code give it to someone to work with.
I can then put some test code on my camera for testing developing etc.
I have red the forum and many time answer is that there is no camera avaible for the developer to achive this.
I can spend my time and camera to be guided step by step to make this avaible.
Im Swift learner but im not a coder.
It is obvious that i need help a lot of help.
This method looks as a fastest way:

That's irrelevant. The point is there is no dev willing/able to add another porting task to the workload he already has.
The forum did some sort of crowdfunding in the past with ease.
And nobody works alone. And even the most skilled programmer will have to be supported because some wizard spells are needed to make it run.
Ask nikfreak. He wouldn't been able to get his ports running without some help from other devs.

getting answers is going to help a lot ofc.
I think the 5DsR needs to be treated like the 7DMk2 due to both having Dual Digic 6. That's adding another level of difficulty to the game. First I think single Digic is going to be ported (750D / 760D / 80D / 5DMk4). Then it might happen for the dual digic, too.

I would say for the time being read though the 7D Mk2 thread:

maybe you can follow the links posted there and ask for a CPUINFO fir file or even dump the firmware with a1ex's help:

Thanks Nikfreak.
How long are they making the port for 7dmkii?
Im also looking forwoard for 7dmkii version of ML.
Are they almost there or yet still to far away from finishing?
