INTRODUCTION:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
STMicroelectronics produces the STV0680B chip, which comes in two
|
||
|
|
types, -001 and -003. The -003 version allows the recording and downloading
|
||
|
|
of sound clips from the camera, and allows a flash attachment. Otherwise,
|
||
|
|
it uses the same commands as the -001 version. Both versions support a
|
||
|
|
variety of SDRAM sizes and sensors, allowing for a maximum of 26 VGA or 20
|
||
|
|
CIF pictures. The STV0680 supports either a serial or a usb interface, and
|
||
|
|
video is possible through the usb interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following cameras are known to work with this driver, although any
|
||
|
|
camera with Vendor/Product codes of 0553/0202 should work:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Aiptek Pencam (various models)
|
||
|
|
Nisis QuickPix 2
|
||
|
|
Radio Shack 'Kid's digital camera' (#60-1207)
|
||
|
|
At least one Trust Spycam model
|
||
|
|
Several other European brand models
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WHAT YOU NEED:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- USB support
|
||
|
|
- VIDEO4LINUX support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MODULE OPTIONS:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When the driver is compiled as a module, you can set a "swapRGB=1"
|
||
|
|
option, if necessary, for those applications that require it
|
||
|
|
(such as xawtv). However, the driver should detect and set this
|
||
|
|
automatically, so this option should not normally be used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KNOWN PROBLEMS:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The driver seems to work better with the usb-ohci than the usb-uhci host
|
||
|
|
controller driver.
