Firmware and source code is released under the GNU General Public License.Originally developed for DSLR filmmaking, Magic Lantern's features have expanded to also include those for still photography. Later mirrorless cameras are not supported because they use a codebase similar to Canon PowerShot cameras rather than Canon EOS cameras therefore CHDK ports are planned. As of August 2017 support for the Canon EOS 5D, 5D Mk III, 6D, 7D, 60Da, 650D, 700D, and 1100D DSLRs and the mirror-less EOS M had also been added.

He ported it to the Canon EOS 550D in July 2010. Magic Lantern firmware was originally written for the Canon EOS 5D Mark II by Trammell Hudson in 2009 after he reverse engineered its firmware.
