There is currently no port for the N2, see this FAQ about unported cameras.

The N2 is a digic 6 camera, so a port would take more effort than earlier cameras. We don't currently have a firmware dump for this camera. If you can get one, that would be helpful, see http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Canon_Basic/Scripts/Dumper

Getting a dump doesn't mean someone will make a port, but it will help our efforts to support digic 6. If you are developer with decent C and assembler skills and want to have a go yourself, we're happy to give advice.

Indeed, if it were present, it would almost certainly appear in the func_by_*.csv files. This appears to be dryos version rather than digic specific, CamInfo_Debug is present on sx730 (digic 6 / dryos r59)

N2 is DryOS 55p6, like g7x, sx60 and M3. This should make it a mostly straightforward port, but lack of buttons means it will need the touch UI like the earlier N models.

On N2 you can try to call ‘GetCameraInformationData’ plus dump like on M3

This should make it a mostly straightforward port, but lack of buttons means it will need the touch UI like the earlier N models.

FWIW, finding a place to hook the Touch UI of the Powershot N was the biggest and most time consuming disassembly project of all the cameras I have ported.
