Hi guys,

just reporting here that I was able to take photos with my Canon EOS 300D and 5D Mark II with gphoto2 from N900.

Looks like gphoto2 recognizes the n900 internal camera storage device too and directs the commands there by default. I have to give the --port=usb option to command the Canon.

I took the latest gphoto2 and libgphoto2 sources from debian.org here. The earlier version, 2.4.6 that I tried, did not work.

http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/gphoto2

I built those in the Fremantle SDK modified to use the debian-squeeze devkit in order not to have to change the debianization of the packags. The packages were buildable with one minor change (had to change libltdl-dev dependency to libltdl7-dev). I also had to build cdk-5.0 and debhelper 7, since they were missing build-dependencies.

The other build-deps I was able to install from the extras repositories and the Fremantle SDK tools repository.

The host mode USB utility and kernel are also needed on the n900:

Now I'll just have to figure out how to make a sweet GUI for an intervalometer

Cheers,
