A Canon PIXMA Printer (e.g. MX925) does not take excellent pictures as the other devices here (at least it has a scanner), but most important is that it uses same DryOS and libs as the camera systems do. Here is my status to access the PIXMA system. Goal is to collect more DryOS knowlege, extent community capability to maintain and fix software-bricked PIXMA systems and later, maybe, also to extend features/firmware. So, now to access the console(s) of MX925:
The controller PCB is located on the left side of the printer, see open printer with already taken out the PCB:
On the PCB you'll find two pads for unpopulated (probably mini USB) connectors. See red markers. They are named with RDB and RELAX. RDB seems inactive. On RELAX (3,3V-TTL UART with 19200 Baud, 8,N,1) promts directly with the DryOS shell.
Each of the 4-pin connectors supplies GND, 3.3V, RxD and TxD.
The RxD/TxD signals of the DryOS-RELAX port are easier accessible in the 2 vias below the connector itself. BTW : I already had soldered wires to the connector pads, but they are very fragile and bare the risk of getting ripped of the PCB.
The shell promt takes approx 4 seconds after power-on (so I assume the DryOS has another real kernel command shell where e.g. booting can be seen and controlled as in linux).
If you want to operate the PCB on a plain desk instead mouonted in the printer : The printer's power supply can easily clicked out and supply the PCB on the plain desk. Be careful : I could imagine that you may generate other sw-brick errors in the system when booting with all pheripherals detached like i do here.
The DryOS Shell Overview from my MX925 is here in some screenshots.
[Next/ToDo/HelpNeeded] system commands to access the internal file system of the OS. Find out RDB port function. Reset printer error status. dump and analzse the firmware/os.
