Thanks,
got it now.

However when i confirm "Update firmware" with OK, the LCD screen goes black immediately with no LED blinking or anything else happening.
Have to remove the battery to revive it. 

Run "firmware update" from the original menu.

Can't find any option to update firmware in the original menu.

EOS Utility seems to have an option for Firmware Update, not sure if that would work? Don't have a Windows installation right now.

LED blinking FIR sent via PM.

Trying to get it working on my M50,

I used dd to write the QEMU image suggested in here https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=16534.0 to my SD-Card, this it how it looks now:

And the file-structure within the FAT16:

./autoexec.bin
./LEDIDM50.FIR
./DCIM
./DCIM/autoexec.bin
./DCIM/LEDIDM50.FIR
./DCIM/100CANON
./DCIM/EOSMISC
./MISC

filesizes:
-rw-r--r-- 1 freezer freezer   604 Jun  4 19:16 LEDIDM50.FIR
-rw-r--r-- 1 freezer freezer 25312 Jun  4 20:07 autoexec.bin


I used the autoexec.bin from the Portable ROM-Dumper thread above and the .FIR provided. Copied them to both / and /DCIM

However nothing really seems to happen when turning it on with the SD-Card inserted. As far as I understand the .FIR file is to enable the boot-flag in the Canon Firmware, is there anything special needed to do to apply it?


Thanks!

Portable ROM dumpers ready

M50_DUMP.FIR (need a second volunteer who has either another camera to film the display, or a phototransistor connected to soundcard/arduino/whatever)

Emulation coming soon.

Hello a1ex!

Also got a M50 and a 2nd camera, would be happy to help as well.

Since the M50 is running EOS firmware, would that mean its easier to port Magic Lantern to it?
