  1. Linux driver for STV0680 based USB cameras
  2. Copyright, 2001, Kevin Sisson
  3. INTRODUCTION:
  4. STMicroelectronics produces the STV0680B chip, which comes in two
  5. types, -001 and -003. The -003 version allows the recording and downloading
  6. of sound clips from the camera, and allows a flash attachment. Otherwise,
  7. it uses the same commands as the -001 version. Both versions support a
  8. variety of SDRAM sizes and sensors, allowing for a maximum of 26 VGA or 20
  9. CIF pictures. The STV0680 supports either a serial or a usb interface, and
  10. video is possible through the usb interface.
  11. The following cameras are known to work with this driver, although any
  12. camera with Vendor/Product codes of 0553/0202 should work:
  13. Aiptek Pencam (various models)
  14. Nisis QuickPix 2
  15. Radio Shack 'Kid's digital camera' (#60-1207)
  16. At least one Trust Spycam model
  17. Several other European brand models
  18. WHAT YOU NEED:
  19. - USB support
  20. - VIDEO4LINUX support
  21. More information about USB support for linux can be found at:
  22. http://www.linux-usb.org
  23. MODULE OPTIONS:
  24. When the driver is compiled as a module, you can set a "swapRGB=1"
  25. option, if necessary, for those applications that require it
  26. (such as xawtv). However, the driver should detect and set this
  27. automatically, so this option should not normally be used.
  28. KNOWN PROBLEMS:
  29. The driver seems to work better with the usb-ohci than the usb-uhci host
  30. controller driver.
  31. HELP:
