Looking for ways to speed up the development.How many of you would be willing to support our work?(also on Twitter)Server issues | Builds page | @autoexec_bin | IRC: #magiclantern
If you couldn't install the firmware (black screen / forced to pull out battery to get cam working....) it means you got an unqualified cam (see Intro section above) and you have to wait. Don't panic your device will get supported asap (No ETA. It's done when it's done...). Don't blame me for not being able to install ML onto your 70D.
Installation Instructions: Download Alpha0 release
If you couldn't install the firmware because your camera doesn't show "Enabled bootdisk" it means you got an unqualified cam (see Intro section above) and you have to wait until your fimrware revision gets supported (No asking for ETA's). Stop here and don't follow the next steps. Don't spam the thread about your disappointment of not being able to install ML or asking when it will be possible. I am not interested in that, sorry. I am interested only in functionality tests / bug reports.
Johnny, the menu override in Canon menu while selecting the option to format card works. You can switch with "Q" button to format card and retain ML on camera which I tested and that's working. There's also the option to remove ML but I didn't test it. Should work but I cannot guarantuee that it works because I didn't try. I will test it myself later and give an answer on that. Till then I don't recommend you to use that option.
how to differentiate the two version 1.1.1
Yes, removing ML this way does work. It does leave an ML folder that only contains a config file but removes everything else, it no longer runs after doing this.
The left over ML folder, where is its location? Camera file system or SD-Card?To be more precise: Will anybody be able to see that ML had been installed?
DV I sent a tech. request to Canon with concern that there was a 70D firmware release made about a year ago.I wanted to know what bugs were fixed, and how I could download it. I also pointed out thathaving two firmware versions of ver 1.1.1, is poor software configuration management SCM practice.I suggest you do the same, as the more that complain - hopefully they will provide an update.My fear is that they did this covertly because they changed/upgraded h/w and didn't want to notify 1st gen. owners.Actually Canon is ISO 9001 certified. It is a major violation of that standard to have improper SCM practice.If their ISO auditors find out, possibly they will be forced to remedy it (however that's a longer process).
