- Linux driver for STV0680 based USB cameras
- Copyright, 2001, Kevin Sisson
- 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
- More information about USB support for linux can be found at:
- http://www.linux-usb.org
- 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.
- HELP:
- The latest info on this driver can be found at:
- http://personal.clt.bellsouth.net/~kjsisson or at
- http://stv0680-usb.sourceforge.net
