Why don't you oblige new users to read the FAQ before they can post? And then delete dumb messages / ban them.
There is no advertising on this forum. So why do we need to see their useless posts?

Now i cant figure it out is there any way to shoot video with this camera?

There is only one way which works at the moment.
Recording MJPEG video on SD-card is not ready yet. I'm not sure that this will be completed ...

I can't understand why it works ok on 450D and not on 40D since stubs.S are same (with different values)

Because of this line

I did not found 64bit function FIO_SeekSkipFile:

Code: [Select]

NSTUB(0xFFCCD344, FIO_SeekFile)

extern int32_t FIO_SeekFile( FILE* stream, int32_t position, int whence );
int64_t FIO_SeekSkipFile( FILE* stream, int64_t position, int whence )
{
return (int64_t) FIO_SeekFile(stream, (int32_t) position, whence );
}

That is as long as you are not looking for ML-specific ‘stuff’ such as Dual-ISO

FRSP & Dual-ISO can be implemented on EOS-M[3,5,6,10,100] cameras runing CHDK(and maybe without CHDK).

CURRENT_GUI_MODE should be 2C94

Menu flickering: define GUIMODE_ML_MENU as:

#define GUIMODE_ML_MENU (lv ? 28 : 2)


It doesn't help.

You will want to look at crop_rec_4k, as that's the only version working with variable frame sizes, but it will require heavy tweaking on the memory management side. It's a bit more complicated than it needs to be, but... the alternative would be to reinvent the wheel (buffering, speed optimizations and so on).

Unfortunately vxworks branch is too old and has no mlv_lite and crop_rec_4k modules.

How to avoid the flashing(flickering) of ML menu and OSD in LiveView mode?
It also changes the colors of  Canon's OSD elements.

Was the lv_rec module replaced by mlv_rec? I'm trying to choose the reference for MJPEG recorder.

I'm pretty sure the hardware can deliver MJPEG at full LiveView resolution

But which framerate?
Current LV-JPEG resolution 848x568 used by EOS utility, EOS SDK and eos_movrec. The framerate is around 20-22.
Do you think it's limited by USB throughput?

Got MJpeg video by inserting this code into dm-spy function:

Code: [Select]

if (lr != 0xFFAD5870)
{
        return;
}

uint32_t lvsize = MEM(0x8304);
char* lvbuf = MEM(0x8308);
if (BUF_SIZE > (len + lvsize))
{
char buff[9];
uint32_t* pnum = (uint32_t*)(buff);
*pnum = (uint32_t)(0x63643030); // "00dc"
pnum = (uint32_t*)(buff + 4);
*pnum = (uint32_t)lvsize;
memcpy(buf+len, buff, 8);
len += 8;
memcpy (buf+len, lvbuf, lvsize);
len += lvsize;
if (lvsize % 2 != 0)
{
char junk = 0;
memcpy (buf+len, &junk, 1);
len += 1;
}
}
    return;

Is there better way to get LV JPEG data than intercepting debug messages?

I've compiled ML with FEATURE_LV_DISPLAY_GAIN.
But it doesn't work out of the box.
It seems that Digic 3 has no ISO_PUSH_REGISTER (0xc0f0e0f8).
Some registers are present (0xc0f08030, 0xc0f08034) but their modification has a very short effect. Probably camera refresh their values periodically.

Another problem is the lack of shadow memory. FPS override doesn't work either, but there are signs of FPS timers:

Code: [Select]

On 32 GB cards, the ML does not load. I tried it on two other cards.

You can try this build

I do astrophotography and I need to brighten the view on the display so that I can set the focus on the stars. New versions of ML have this function available. Would you be able to program it into the 450D version? It would help me considerably. If you can do it, I would be willing to pay for that, just name your price.

Which function do you need? Can you explain exactly?

Note: ML is not a commercial project, so I do not need your money...

I've put ML on the card.

Probably ML can't find some files in ML folder on SD card.
Try to format SD card in the camera and reinstall ML.

3. During update blue led is blinking and nothing happend.

Installer for 450D firmware 1.1.0. : https://bitbucket.org/Ant123/magic-lantern-40d/downloads/ML450D110.fir
It works the same as 40D/5DC installer.

From 5D Classic thread:

7.) Launch the firmware update process. If you see any red led, then something went wrong. A solid blue led means that the bootdisk is now enabled. A blinking blue led means the bootdisk is now disabled (if you want to completely uninstall ML). Each time you run the firmware update it just toggles the bootdisk to the opposite of whatever it is currently. The installer FIR will make your CF card bootable for you, no further work required here.
8.) Turn the power switch off and pull your battery to turn the camera off. Just turn the camera on (make sure autoexec.bin and ML directory are on the card!) and you're all set. Press the Trash button to bring up the ML menu.

You only need to run the firmware update to enable the bootflag ONCE. Each time after that will only disable, re-enable, disable, re-enable, etc. the bootflag.

from 0xBFE00000, size 0x200000  - camera locks up with Err70, no log is saved.

0xBFF00000 memory region contains message buffers shared with MZRM core. So probably io_trace code is not fast enough for transfers caused by memcpy.

- emulation is able to reach GuiMainTask (after updating the MPU messages and some trivial GDB patches - not yet committed)
- it gets stuck trying to communicate with Zico/MZRM (as expected)

Have you tried to apply modified EOS M3 patches? (0xFC3F1110, 0xFC3F1114, 0xFC3F1178)

0xfda6e8c0, 0x00000ad4
0xfda6f394, 0x0000113c
16 of them can be opened with FontForge

Also there need to decode images from ROM used to draw icons and some texts in Viewfinder mode.
These are vector graphic objects. They can be found by signature "99 99 0C 00" in DSLR's ROMs too. The next 32bit word is a size of drawing object.
Probably there need to use OpenVG to render it.

If you receive these strings from MMIO hooks, or from breakpoints into certain drawing functions, you will need to store them somewhere in a data structure, until the next display event comes up.

I recieve these strings from eos_handle_digic6: mzrm_send function writes 1 into register 0xD20F0840 to inform Zico core about new message.

I was trying this code, but it doesn't work:

Code: [Select]


DisplaySurface *surface = qemu_console_surface(s->disp.con);
printfxy(surface, (pos_x >> 16), (pos_y >> 16), "%s", MZRM_str);Do I need to update the display somehow?

Even calling printfxy from eos_update_display doesn't work.

I think it's possible to emulate simple drawing of text strings in case main CPU will send certain messages to MZRM core...
But on EOS M3  the camera controller still does not allow to start it normally and goes to shutdown.

Got Canon menu navigation working on M3:
