This repository is Magic Lantern Simplified, a firmware enhancement framework for Canon EOS DSLR and mirrorless cameras. It is an application that operates at the hardware level, providing advanced video and photography features (raw video recording, dual ISO, zebras, focus peaking, intervalometer, Lua scripting, etc.) by hooking into the camera's DryOS real-time operating system. The system is modular: core infrastructure (boot process, property system, GUI overlay, DMA abstraction, state machine spies) is in `src/`, while individual features are loadable modules in `modules/`. It also includes a significant reverse-engineering toolkit (platform constants, firmware decryption tools, Ghidra scripts) and host-side utilities (PTP control, MLV viewers, archive tools). While primarily an application, it has a strong research character due to the extensive embedded reverse engineering required to port to each camera model. The architecture is a hybrid of a monolithic base with dynamically loaded modules, communicating via callback registries and property handlers. The codebase shows high craftsmanship in areas like the EDMAC abstraction, state-object synchronization, and the callback system, but suffers from some platform-code duplication and fragile hardcoded addresses.
