content: I think so also.But want to be more sure.On Reveal Pro is only Mosaic Core (without coprocessor board) according to teardown I see.I want to know if is with attached coprocessor board.

content: Seek Shot is an “in-house” product and so Seek integrate the microbolometer PCB with a custom motherboard and its SoC video processor. The only reason for the processor PCB on the Mosaic core is for ease of use via a standard USB data link. Such a data link would actually be a bottleneck in an in-house design and Seek replace the “microbolometer to USB” processor PCB with the greater processing power of the main PCB video SoC. It is the same design philosophy as that used in the Seek Reveal Pro.Fraser

content: But in link to Logan topic we can see Mosaic Core and on board same LPC mcu from NXP (same as in their coprocessor board,same as in Compact Pro)

content: I'm interested about firmware in MXIC chip, hoping they don't enabled security encryption of MCU.Interesting thing that IR_USB1 un-populated connector that look like connected to LPC43s30,could be USB port direct to thermal camera.

content: Quote from: gabiz_ro on February 19, 2023, 07:51:53 amUnfortunately, I can't read the firmware you are interested in. However, I think that it can be obtained by rummaging through the contents of the updates offered on the official Seek Thermal resource.The circuits of the missing IR_USB1 connector are indeed connected to the LPC4330FET100.

Indirectly, the same parameter is confirmed by image interpolation when saving a thermogram in a photo or video in 640x480 format
