Canon EOS 1300D / Rebel T6

[heder]

Hi petabyte

Briliant idea to make a video  , a image says more than a 1000 words.

Your console says your trying to enter ML via space key , your console = "Key event: 39 -> 0xc01"
But you should be using delete key, my console = "Key event: 59 -> 0401"

(But If you are infact using delete and QEMU translated this into key event for space, then the problem is qemu and then you should recompile and use SDL)

[petabyte]

I had figured that out, but thanks. I had to press A.

Some updates:
The 1300D has UART port accessible by removing the thumb grip above the DPAD. Some 1300D do not have the connector soldered on, but the pads on the PCB are visible. I was able to probe test the pins and got a pinout diagram:

Now here is where I'm stuck. I do not know what the connector is called.  This is what it looks like (its not JST):

[deviousfusion]

Some more updates:

I was able to find the connector: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/jst-sales-america-inc/A06SUR06SUR32W203A/9947452

Once that was wired in, I was able to enable the bootflag



Now the fun part begins. Gonna follow @heder's instructions to get a build on QEMU first.

VERY nice, great work here.
I'm temporarily with a 1300D, alongside with the M and the 1200D. Let me know if i can help with anything

[critix]

A "big step" forward ...

[mdlockyer]

This is awesome.

[moloch]

amazing work!

[critix]

Ok ... I was able to run ML on 1300D...at least start with ML ... I think... but DISP keys, MENU, Play, SET stops working ....
If I hold down the SET button and turn on the 1300D, the buttons work ... and if I enter the menu, I see:

Code Select Expand

Ver. firmware 1.1.0-ml-off
So ... start ML ...
But if I start normally ... I can't get into ML.
All I have to do is dig...

[critix]

First boot with ML:


... and the first self-test...

[heder]

"thumbs up"

Wow this is really cool! I've been lurking here for a long time (2019) but never posted. I'm really excited that you've managed to get this to work. I have a bit of experience programming (though never C and I've also never used QEMU) and a 1300D, so I'd be willing to help. Let me know what I can do, I'd love to use this.

[kiksy]

I used ML extensively on my old 550d which I later sold. Got a bargain 1300d a year or so ago and really excited to see ML might be possible on it!

[Cukmekerb]

Hey, I tried to find the latest repo for 1300d ML but couldn't. Where is the most recent code?

[petabyte]

I believe the same question was answered in the last page.

[small3687]

I've been watching this since I bought a 1300D in 2018. I put magic lantern on an old powershot and have been looking forward to putting it on my 1300D someday.

[critix]

Hello!
A working version ... what I tested was intervalometer, which until now after 2-3 frames, I received error 70. Now it works ...I hope 
If there are others to test ...
https://bitbucket.org/ccritix/magic-lantern-git/downloads/magiclantern-Nightly.2021May13.1300D110.zip
There are still problems to be solved ... but I hope this is the beginning ...

[glaucohf]

Nice! I missed the file ML-SETUP.FIR at this zip.

Can you send it for us?

I have a canon-1300D with firmware version1.1.1, I tried downdating it to the previous version1.1.0 and 1.0.2 using the utility software, I followed the tutorial in this forum,

at the last step the utility software prompts to press the SET button to update the firmware, but there is no prompts popping up in the camera back screen(even after i close the software prompt by pressing ok button),
do i have to press the SET button in the black screen? or do i have to unplug the device and proceed to software update as usual?

I tried both but neither of them worked,

when I unplug the device and proceeds the software update there is still the older firmware version warning showing up,

when I tried pressing SET button while in the black screen nothing happens, just black screen till I switch the device off.
I am doing everything as said in the tutorial.

Edit: I just noticed this method https://youtu.be/QZys2nZUgIY to downdate the firmware from 1.1.1 to 1.1.0 and it worked.
can some one update this on the general downdate tutorial section?

[CanonCasey]

I would test, but I'm not sure if there's anything I need to do to get it working as it won't install ML. I've installed ML on different cameras before, but this one just won't run the nightly.

[denizza]

Hello, I can test it. I am pretty much noob with ml so can you tell me what should I test and how? And can I brick my 1300d with it?

[Walter Schulz]

To users asking to test this build: It doesn't work out-of-the-box!

ATM there is no option to generate a FIR file to enable camera bootflag. ATM enabling bootflag requires a non-standard operation via cam's UART interface. https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7531.msg233933#msg233933

If you know how to do that (I guess if you have to google UART first you don't) you want to contact devs on discord.

To clarify: Only those able to access and handle UART properly will be able to test ML for 1300D in the present state!
And yes: You can damage your cam by doing so.

[critix]

A new version.
https://bitbucket.org/ccritix/magic-lantern-git/downloads/magiclantern-Nightly.2021May21.1300D110.zip
I activated some menu functions + some software changes.
If you can help me with tests. Thank you.
P.S. I come back with the changes made in the source

New version:

[petabyte]

I'm working on getting Picture Transfer Protocol (USB) to enable the boot flag.
Here is a working demo: https://github.com/petabyt/sequoia-ptpy

It's highly unstable, and takes around 30 or so attempts in order to
get a OK response from the camera.

I've only been able to test it on the 1300D, but I think this
might work on all Canon DSLRs.

[critix]

A new version. I solved the problem with prevent Canon firmware from turning off LiveView after 30 minutes.
It works in both photo and video mode.
