as soon ML for 7D is stable, we will have some sort of FIR that enables bootflag on every camera out there.
yes, "developer model" i call those used by canon devs.

OK, thanks a lot  :)

there are developer models that have the bootflag set.
also there are some cameras on that we enabled the boot flag.
boot flag = load autoexec.bin (ML) from CF card on startup

OK. And can it be enabled on all "normal" cameras? How?

Also, what is a "developer model"? Do you mean some models used only by Canon developers?

you cannot run this on "normal" 7Ds as the bootflag is not enabled. (or is it?)

I'm sorry, but what does "normal 7D" mean? As far as I know, there's only one type of 7D camera, am I wrong?

Also, what is the bootflag and how can it be enabled if needed?

But, is this only for this alpha release? I mean, will it be solved on the final release? This comment makes me doubt about it:

QuoteWe can run Magic Lantern from autoexec.bin, but we still can not reliably enable the bootflag to execute it. This means, virgin cameras will only be able to run the .FIR version of ML for now. We know ways to enable the bootflag, but they would involve copyright issues. And that's something we want to avoid.
