Camera-specific Development / Re: Magic Lantern for 30d
October 02, 2014, 06:25:29 AM
I was having trouble getting some of the tools working on the pre-built VM so I decided to create my own VM for this process. Had trouble building the tools at first as I chose Ubuntu 14.04. After getting some help on the forum, thanks to josepvm, I was able to get the tools up and running on Ubuntu 12.04.5.

Currently running the ARM Console against a firmware dump from the 1.0.6 update. The estimated ETA for that process being greater than 13 hours means I'm heading to bed.

I have found now some notes I took when installing ARM console

Thanks for the info! I've got my new VM up and running (Ubuntu 12.04.5) with the ARM Console running against a dump from a firmware update for my 30D.

It was impossible for me also to install ARM console on Ubuntu 14.04, due to a reported bug that makes some package incompatible with previous matplotlib, I don't remember the exact package affected by this issue. I ended using an up to date daily image of ubuntu 12.04 (Ubuntu 12.04.4, I think) and no problems with this one as a virtual machine under Virtualbox.

Ahh, that makes sense, I'll give 12.04 a try. I wasn't too far in setting up the environment when I began running across those issues. Thanks!

It may require some older versions of certain packages. I have IPython 0.10 and SymPy 0.6.7, if that helps.

A1ex, thanks I had IPython 0.10 and pretty sure I had SymPy 0.6.7 based upon the instructions you gave in the Wiki. I'll try 12.04 and hopefully I'll have better luck.

Ok, so I decided to setup a new vm and chose Ubuntu as my Linux distro. I have installed Python 2.6.6 and have it set as my main python instance. I've tried following the setup instructions in the wiki, but mostly end up having the problem that pylab isn't recognized. I have verified that I have python-matplotlib installed, but pylab still isn't recognized by python when launching the script. Any suggestions?

This is by no means a promise to get ML working on the 30D. But after checking this thread a few times wondering if there has been anyone to start the process, and finding that there has been none. I decided to try and begin following the steps provided way back in 2012. I have a bit of time most evenings, and decided it would be an interesting project that would cause me to do a heck of a lot of learning.

So that said, I've completed the following tasks:


  • Getting the dev environment up and running (I used the lazy method of the pre-built VM)
  • Downloaded Source Code
  • Extracted Firmware update file

The firmware update file I extracted was the 1.0.6 update, which I then realized my 30D was still on 1.0.5. So I updated my firmware.

Still To Do (in no particular order):

  • Map and begin understanding firmware
  • Read much more on the 5dc and 40D ports
  • Not brick my camera
  • Much, much more

This is a start and I'll try and go as far as I can.
