Some info about GX20 v1.01 and MODSET and AUTORUN functions. MODSET.xxx works with turning on with open or closed (!) SD door (without any buttons).Note! You must not have AUTORUN.xxx for MODSET.xxx to work :-)
Additional info below:[VLENS_CTRL] displays VLENS CONTROL on screen and do not react to keys I tried. We must find key combination that toggles SDM On/off and PZ On/Off.
[OPEN_DEBUG_MENU] Opens large debug menu on startup there you can make all functions. Like dumping your lens ROM. :-)
AUTORUN.xxx works on every camera start, and in case of synax error it hangs sometimes.
FILEOUT "STRING" to write STRING to CHKDAT.xxx file. String will be appended to end of file.WAIT without parameters causes syntax error.

[DEBUG_MODE DIS] Disables debug mode
[RELEASE_AGING] Test shutter by making many expositions
[OPEN_DEBUG_MENU] Opens debug menu
[SW_DEBUG_MENU EN] Enables debug menu
[SCRIPT_EN_MODE EN] Enables script interpreter

Example of proper MODSET.xx file

Turn camera off.
Turn camera on with MENU button pressed.
I don't guarantee that this will work on all cameras the same.
But easy to check.
If in original it don't work leave flash door open then turning camera back on.

Dumping
Now you can dump any firmware from most PENTAX DSLR models.
How to do it?
Make two MODSET.xxx files
First MODSET.xxx file
[CPU_ROM_STORE]
Second MODSET.xxx file
[DSP_ROM_STORE]
Copy first file to root of your flash card.
Turn on your camera. Wait before dumping is completed. Turn camera off.
Copy second file to root of your flash card.
Turn on your camera. Wait before dumping is completed.
You'll have two files on flash card now.
Send them to us in archived form ONLY if Pentax have no available firmware for your model. But we are interested in K7 beta and v1.0 firmware images.

How to turn build in script interpreter
You must enable script mode :
MODSET.xxx file
[SCRIPT_EN_MODE EN]
Make 'AUTORUN.xxx' file (xxx same as in MODSET file) with script inside.
Available BASIC keywords
END, EXIT, PAUSE, WAIT,
WHILE, INTERVAL, CYCLE, FILEOUT, FSEARCH,
TIMERON, TIMEROFF.
Looks like quite full functional BASIC
You could try "hello world" first.
AUTORUN.xxx hello world example
PRINT "Hello World";
According to first test results, you must turn camera on with MENU button and after firmware version number you'll see your program execution result.
Test volunteers are welcome.
