hoodlum Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 This is a bit surprising from Leica. I wonder if this would also work for the LX100. https://leica-camera.com/en-int/photography/cameras/d-lux/d-lux-8/downloads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatstoomuchjam Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 They didn't open source the firmware. They are following the legal obligations associated with the licenses of open source modules that they used. https://leicarumors.com/2024/07/23/the-new-leica-d-lux-8-camera-is-open-source-code-available-for-download-on-leicas-website.aspx/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ac6000cw Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Inside https://leica-camera.com/sites/default/files/leica-dlux_8-oss-sourcecode.zip are these compressed files, which appear to be basically just the Linux OS related files (and note the 2017 dates on them): eatstoomuchjam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatstoomuchjam Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Those are, indeed, some really ancient versions of things. The good news could be that there are probably known vulnerabilities/exploits in software that is so old. If there are any services (web server, etc) listening on there, the camera might be hackable.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 25 Administrators Share Posted July 25 Best off hacking the Samsung NX1 which is fully Linux. I still have the source code for that if anyone is interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
