@alex: Thanks a lot for the very informative suggestions. I will definitely try them out.

The second method is especially interesting. I am thinking of maybe I will convert the receiver end to an iPhone app, thus eliminating the requirement of a second camera (which presumably requires movie function), which I don't have.

BTW, I am quite amazed how friendly and helpful the Magic Lantern community are.

@nikfreak: Thanks a lot for the good suggestions. It works now. Somehow the code I checked out was an incorrect version. Probably I haven't fully understood some of the hg revision number tricks. After simply hg updating the same tip revision, the code was changed (magically) to the correct verison, and then built and run on my 5D wonderfully.

@Walter Schulz: No, I am using Ubuntu 14.04

@nikfreak: I am actually using a gcc 4.8.x version of gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_8-2013q4.

But I am looking at an unmaintained model (5Dc). The latest release, ML-5Dc-Beta4, was released back in Oct 2012. So there may well be some compiler/library incompatibilities there.

I am having the same issue as others encountered in the above threads. Magic Lantern is built OK. But when desployed into my 5D camera, it fails that I even cannot bring up the default menu and have to take out the battery.

I will try to comment some code out and see if I can find the problem.

My question is, is there a way to debug this? Such as, is there a debug connection, such as a serial port, available? So I can output some debug information to see where it fails? How do you guys do the debugging?
