As user I noticed some things I wanted to have on my camera, I hope anyone that has ideas can add them here. What features are you waiting for? What software components are still missing that you cannot live without?
Contents
Software
If a project has been completed just add the developer that did it, or is busy on it.
Sensor
Compass
Networking
- DHCP (timeouted) and DNS-SD
- GigaBit ethernet
- Zeroconf (Rendezvous) for LAN device announcing

Fastest Boot
APIs
UDMA support
- Enable UDMA in the Axis kernel. Needed to support most fast CF cards, will also boost speed on SATA.
Debayer Algorithmn
- Higher image quality debayer algorithmn FPGA implementation -> VNG
Hardware
What will the next elphel camera most likely entitled Elphel 373 be like?
