Talk:DRYOS

What licens(s) is DRYOS under? 220.237.139.183 (talk) 06:26, 5 June 2008 (UTC)Anonymous DryOS is a native Canon product. You can't get a license of them, because they don't sell it.


 * Some Sentence abot the entry date of DryOS. Before Canon ported their own RTOS to the Digic ARM Cortex Architecture, they had licened VxWorks from Wind River Systems for their DSLR Systems. This is used in several satellites and other mission critical applications. It is very known in teh hackers community and well documented.
 * Easy to write some hacks like Magic-Latern, because you know what API's are existend and how they should be supported.
 * DryOS is proeritary, no ducuments are public available and none outside Canon know's more details like API or so. No good chance for a newer port of Magic-Latern.
 * The first Canon DSLR's was the EOS 5Ds(R), EOS 80D, EOS 5D Mark-IV. Any Systemes before uses VxWorks and they are god a good chance to get a Magic-Latern port available. I guess, nobody of the team will do it since DSLR Systems getting obsolete. 87.191.27.101 (talk) 19:59, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Instant picture
The article said that DRYOS was a real-time operating system. Does this mean that cameras that have DRYOS will take the picture as soon as you press the button? --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 21:10, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The shutter lag of P&S cameras has very little to do with the underlying OS and more to do with the camera hardware. RTOS like DryOS make guarantees about internal CPU things like interrupt latency, task scheduling, etc, but can't change the sensor response time.   -- Autopilot (talk) 21:28, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The main advantage is the guaranteed response time of the running thread's. Interrupts are the dead of an RTOS scheduling response time. They releases a waiting thread instead processes the data itself. 87.191.27.101 (talk) 19:58, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
