The RDC-i700 is one of high specs digital camera of Ricoh. Its relatively big size, large amount of different interfaces, input methods (buttons, or touch panel); have made it a good candidate for prototyping the world first Linux embedded digital camera. This paper presents the experiences of porting the 2.4 linux kernel to an existing digital camera. (the RDCi700 is originally build on top of VxWorks). Even though embedded systems running on Linux are getting more and more popular, the digital camera field remains to be unexplored.
