So Sigma released an updated DP1 firmware today. Couple this with some interesting shots of the insides of the DP1 and turns out that there is a Xilinx chip and a custom ASIC (the Sigma TRUE) on the DP1. Way to go Sigma, custom ASICs, nice. According to the DP1 firmware, the Xilinx chip is a XC3s200 - same as the SD14. The firmware is also made with the same CamXML2Bin program, looks like Foveon release this? Don’t know.

You might wonder how I was able to determine the Xilinx chip from the firmware. We’ll, I’ve made incredible progress in the last couple days, I’ll try to write about it tonight.
