DRYOS

DRYOS is a real-time operating system made by Canon and is used in their latest digital cameras and camcorders.

Since late 2007 DIGIC-based cameras are shipped using DryOS. It replaces VxWorks from Wind River Systems which has been used before on Digic2 (DIGIC II) and some Digic3 (DIGIC III) cameras. DryOS had existed before and was in use in other Canon hardware, such as digital video cameras and high-end webcams.

DRYOS has a 16 kilobytes kernel module at its core and is currently compatible with more than 10 CPU types. It provides a simulation-based development environment for debugging. Canon also developed a USB- and middleware-compatible device driver for file systems and network devices like video server.

DRYOS aims to be compatible with µITRON 4.0 and with POSIX.

    End Of The Line

    by: Trews

    War in the living room,
    We swore we weren't like that.
    Once we went down that road,
    There was no turning back.
    Anger and jealousy
    And distorted fact,
    Left this pale shadow
    of a life we once had.
    How could you love and then
    Change just like that?
    You give your whole heart away
    Then take it all back.
    This is the end of the line tonight
    We can't defend what we know ain't right.
    It's over, it's over, it's over,
    This love we should let die.
    This is the end of the line.
    Broken down promises
    Linger on in my head.
    The scars and the blemishes
    that time could not mend.
    How can you live losing
    All we once had?
    Come on now, little girl,
    It ain't quite that bad.
    This is the end the line Tonight
    We can't defend what
    we know ain't right
    It's over, it's over, it's over
    This love we should let die.
    This is the end of the line.
    Nothing but love gets you
    so hypnotized.
    Nothing but love brings
    them tears to your eyes.
    Nothing but love takes
    away all your pride.
    Nothing but love eats
    You away inside.
    This is the end of the line Tonight.
    We can't defend what we know ain't right.
    Two worlds amend, oh ya and
    Two worlds collide.
    It's over, it's over, it's Over
    This love we should let die.
    It's been coming for some time.
    So goodnight and goodbye.
    This is the end
    This is the end
