1 | Linux driver for STV0680 based USB cameras | ||

6 | INTRODUCTION: | ||
7 | |||
8 | STMicroelectronics produces the STV0680B chip, which comes in two | ||
9 | types, -001 and -003. The -003 version allows the recording and downloading | ||
10 | of sound clips from the camera, and allows a flash attachment. Otherwise, | ||
11 | it uses the same commands as the -001 version. Both versions support a | ||
12 | variety of SDRAM sizes and sensors, allowing for a maximum of 26 VGA or 20 | ||
13 | CIF pictures. The STV0680 supports either a serial or a usb interface, and | ||
14 | video is possible through the usb interface. | ||
15 | |||
16 | The following cameras are known to work with this driver, although any | ||
17 | camera with Vendor/Product codes of 0553/0202 should work: | ||
18 | |||
19 | Aiptek Pencam (various models) | ||
20 | Nisis QuickPix 2 | ||
21 | Radio Shack 'Kid's digital camera' (#60-1207) | ||
22 | At least one Trust Spycam model | ||
23 | Several other European brand models | ||
24 | |||
25 | WHAT YOU NEED: | ||
26 | |||
27 | - USB support | ||
28 | - VIDEO4LINUX support | ||
29 | |||

31 | http://www.linux-usb.org | ||
32 | |||
33 | |||
34 | MODULE OPTIONS: | ||
35 | |||
36 | When the driver is compiled as a module, you can set a "swapRGB=1" | ||
37 | option, if necessary, for those applications that require it | ||
38 | (such as xawtv). However, the driver should detect and set this | ||
39 | automatically, so this option should not normally be used. | ||
40 | |||
41 | |||
42 | KNOWN PROBLEMS: | ||
43 | |||
44 | The driver seems to work better with the usb-ohci than the usb-uhci host | ||
45 | controller driver. | ||
46 | |||
