Location of latest test autoexec?

[Tom Worster]

For those of us without privileged access, where are the current autoexecs
for testing normally located?

http://bit.ly/ml-may15 was the latest binary. You can compile latest
source code without any restrictions.

You can use built-in "Transrate" button.

This is my blog for Japanese , I don't know transrate result is good or not.

Relative to May 15th version I was using, ML v2.3 for 50D uses a new Canon
FW v1.0.9. I want to try the 2.3 ML that I compiled (for the first time,
which is why I'm being cautious) so I need to update the camera. First I
want to check the process:

1. Format my non-ML CF card in the camera. Use it to update camera to
1.0.9.

2. Replace the autoexec.bin on my current ML card with the one I just
compiled. Apart from that, this card contains the contents of the Dec 22
zip file.

If it doesn't work, use my non-ML card to downgrade the camera to 1.0.8
and replace the autoexec.bin on my ML card with the May 15th version.

Sounds right?

[Alex]

Correct, only that you also need to delete the december 22 files.

Use "make install" for creating the correct directory structure on the ML card.

This should work. I am running v2.3 on my 50D. The only issue I encountered was that I first installed the early ML 2.3 rc2 and for some reason after updating the canon  firmware to 1.0.9, the camera would not boot. I solved that by turning the camera switch to OFF, and pulled the battery out. Re-inserted the battery switched the camera back on and ML booted with no problem. To upgrade to ML 2.3, I only had to replace the ML files on the CF card. I've had no problems so far.

[Alex]

See the install and user guide - important notes. After you open the
card door, you need to wait for 5 seconds before removing the card.

The 50D accesses the card without LED activity.

[Oscar Moreno]

Hum. That's good to know. I wasn't aware of that. Still, is this the case even after the camera has been switched off for more than five minutes ( in other words, we should still wait 5 secs after opening the card door) ??

[Alex]

Yes.

If you open the card door without turning it off from the main switch
- then you do not have to wait.

Ha! Nice! . . . . I gotta give the new site a more in-depth look.

Thanks Alex.
