Hat Tip: PetaPixel
The developers over at Magic Lantern have announced that they have gotten the Linux OS to successfully boot on Canon DSLR cameras.
The Magic Lantern team wasn't able to get beyond getting Linux to boot. That would require experience with modifying the Linux kernel and the developers at Magic Lantern apparently have no experience doing so.
They have released the information on how they accomplished this publicly. That means developers with Linux kernel experience should be able to develop a version of Linux capable of running on Canon DSLR cameras.
This creates the possibility of a great deal of customization when it comes to the software running on the cameras, including adding features not envisioned by Canon programmers.
