software - What operating systems run on today's DSLRs?



I was just wondering if anyone could provide names and a bit of background on the Operating Systems the current day DSLRs (namely, Nikon, Canon) use.



Answer



Canon


So far what we know based on ML work


DRYOS version 2.3, release #0023



  1. 5Dm2

  2. 500d/T1i

  3. 50D



DRYOS version 2.3, release #0039



  1. 7D

  2. 1Dm4


DRYOS version 2.3, release #0043



  1. 550d/T2i


DRYOS version 2.3, release #0044 or #0049




  1. 5dm3

  2. EOS M


DRYOS version 2.3, release #0047



  1. 60D

  2. 600D/T3i

  3. 1100D/T3



I'm generalizing but I see in Canon P&S they tend to reuse DIGIC processors so a quick check on a Wiki indicated that DRYOS is used.


It isn't specifically mentioned but ML developers indicate that they think this DRYOS is a derivative of uLTRON. They also did indicate that some concepts in DRYOS could be compared to or understood from VxWorks.
