M100 / Testmarket camcorder support in OPS?
I recently received a test market (M100) camcorder, which I'm going to attempt to probe with my key scanner when I get it finished. However, I was a bit surprised to see that Ops won't even attempt to communicate with the camcorder. Wouldn't it make sense that many of the commands would be the same, since the same developer station is used? Perhaps not, since the computer would get the VID & PID early on in the process - but could we at least try to open and unlock the camcorder? If my keyscanner FPGA works, then all CVS camcorders should be usable - given the right software support.

the developer station has nothing to do with it, it's just a WindowsXP Embedded PC. But, i have been unable to get an m100 to respond at all to any USB command, i figure it must have been programmed by a completely different team.

Does it not even respond to the challenge request? Wow - that seems like such a waste of effort. Not that we haven't been guilty of that where I work...

Is the driver the problem?

no it does not respond to ANY USB command, i've thrown all 65536 commands at the cam, it just sits there silently, i'm guessing it's waiting to be sent some sort of passcode before it even starts negotiating. And no Indus, it's not a driver problem, there are no drivers for the m100. It's a completely unhacked cam. You can dump movied from the flash using the smartmedia reader method, but the firmware is in a different type of flash that i don't have a easily adaptable reader for.

Has anyone tried using PV2tool? Is there a chance that something like backwards SMaL used in cameras is required for dCBWSignature "LaMS" field? Described on morcheeba's PV2 USB pages: http://www.maushammer.com/systems/dakotadigital/lcd-usb.html What are the VID and PID for an M100?

After searching found the following post by codeknowbi: forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=1000#1000" target="_blank">http://camerahacks.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=1000#1000 Is there any significance to m100 using bulkin of 82 while camera and camcorder use 81?

It matters if you're using bulk-out transfers. That raises an interesting point. I think Corscaria scanned through all of the possible USB control message command bytes without luck. It's possible that the m100 implements it's command-set over bulk-in and bulk-out, like the pv2. Corscaria, you might try feeding it a small (one byte?) bulk transfers and see if it accepts one, instead of blocking when you try to send.

what are you using to send/recieve the usb code? I havnt managed to find anything useful for windows so far, and at this moment, Im waiting for usbutils to finish compiling on my nix box.... which just puked because my glibc isnt new enough :) bah, now my glibc compile crapped itself.... this is suiting up to be one of "those" nights.... anyway, any utils you can suggest windows or linux/bsd/solaris/hpux I'd appreciate it.

Hello ..new here and have a M100 model to play with. Does anybody have a flash dump from the camera or know about any software/driver able to download the saved movies from this model? ... and Happy New Year to all!
