Liemoth (formerly AHDK) is a free and open source software add-on for Ambarella based devices.

Support my work: https://petabyt.dev/donate.html
- Run Magic Lantern/CHDK like interactive menu loaded onto camera
- Real time C/C++ code execution over WiFi
- Run Linux shell commands
- Games :)
- Also, has an Ambsh preprocessor + minimizer and Extensive Ambsh documentation
- Module system
- Motion detection photo (in progress)
- Raw photos
- Raw video (?)
- Porting to other models (A9, A12?)
- Reverse engineering sensor functions
- New features
Liemoth can be built on Windows and Linux.
Dependencies:
- Host GCC/TCC
- Arm GCC
- Git bash or msys32 (if on Windows)
Head into a directory and type make help.
It should be pretty straightforward.
This is the compiler used by Ambarella (I think). You can also
use it to compile apps that run on the camera's Linux system.
arm-none-linux-gnueabi
It's older (2009), so it will generate assembly around 2x the size of newer GCCs.
Personally, I use gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q3, since it's the same compiler that
Magic Lantern uses.

- The entire hacking/reverse engineering community
- My testing cameras are the Activeon DX and GoPro Hero 3+.
- Any help and/or questions are welcome. Just make an issue.
- No warranty - If you break it, you keep both pieces.
- There is some (possibly leaked) Ambarella source code out there.
I have decided to not use it, and contributors must not use it either.
