PTP-CHDK

This is a port of CHDK PTP implementation. It should be compatible with ptpcam (and maybe other PTP tools from CHDK).

Requires

CONFIG_PTP          = y
CONFIG_PTP_CHDK     = y

in Makefile.user

ptpcam --chdk[]

Download source: https://github.com/mweerden/CHDK/zipball/ptp

Warning: the patches from http://www.mweerden.net/chdk_ptp.html are obsolete (do not download them, the command codes were changed a bit).

There's also a version in contrib/ptpcam in the repository, but it says

error: camera has unsupported camera version 0.1; some functionality may be missing or cause unintented consequences

Installing ML without swapping the card[]

make ptpinstall

Under the hood, it's done like this:

Makefile:

ptpinstall: autoexec.bin
	gvfs-mount -s gphoto2
	sleep 2
	cat ptpcam.txt | ptpcam --chdk
	diff autoexec.bin autoexec.test

ptpcam.txt:

upload autoexec.bin B:/AUTOEXEC.BIN
download B:/AUTOEXEC.BIN autoexec.test

To install everything:

cd $CF_CARD && find -type f -exec echo upload {} B:/{} \; | sed -e 's/\.\///g' | ptpcam --chdk
