The Magic Lantern developers are demoing the work done so far on porting the Linux kernel 3.19 to Canon EOS DSLRs cameras, despite the fact that they have zero experience with kernel development. The Linux kernel port was successfully tested on several Canon EOS cameras, including 60D, 600D, 7D, 5D2, and 5D3.
