=AXIOM Beta Topics=
Our community’s debut camera is the result of years of collaboration with the [https://magiclantern.fm/ Magic Lantern] team. With custom-built printed circuit boards, newly developed FPGA cores and an onboard Linux operating system at the user's disposal, changing the entire configuration of a camera to suit the needs of [https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/AXIOM_Beta/Case_Studies any project] is well possible.

Battery mount for NP-F970/F750/F550 batteries to power the AXIOM Beta. Includes power usage and capacity monitoring to estimate remaining charge and time remaining.

===InfoLithium Protocol===
Proprietary protocol from Sony that exchanges metadata between batteries and devices. Expected data inside the protocol includes: charge cycles, battery ID, remaining total capacity, remaining current capacity, etc.
Only official Sony batteries incorporate this protocol, cheap replacement parts don't and some Pro Sony cameras refuse operation with batteries without InfoLithium communication.
Decrypting this protocol could give us more insight into the battery but is not essential as we can measure the discharge curve and estimate remaining capacity rather accurately that way.

===Dual Micro SD Module===


This module adds two micro SD card slots to the AXIOM Beta. The active slot can be switched via the card driver and both cards share a 50MByte/s interface to the Zynq.
The external slots can not be used for initial booting of the camera.
