1 Linux driver for SE401 based USB cameras 2 3 Copyright, 2001, Jeroen Vreeken 4 5 6 INTRODUCTION: 7 8 The SE401 chip is the used in low-cost usb webcams. 9 It is produced by Endpoints Inc. (www.endpoints.com). 10 It interfaces directly to a cmos image sensor and USB. The only other major 11 part in a se401 based camera is a dram chip. 12 13 The following cameras are known to work with this driver: 14 15 Aox se401 (non-branded) cameras 16 Philips PVCV665 USB VGA webcam 'Vesta Fun' 17 Kensington VideoCAM PC Camera Model 67014 18 Kensington VideoCAM PC Camera Model 67015 19 Kensington VideoCAM PC Camera Model 67016 20 Kensington VideoCAM PC Camera Model 67017 21 22 23 WHAT YOU NEED: 24 25 - USB support 26 - VIDEO4LINUX support 27 28 More information about USB support for linux can be found at: 29 http://www.linux-usb.org 30 31 32 MODULE OPTIONS: 33 34 When the driver is compiled as a module you can also use the 'flickerless' 35 option. With it exposure is limited to values that do not interfere with the 36 net frequency. Valid options for this option are 0, 50 and 60. (0=disable, 37 50=50hz, 60=60hz) 38 39 40 KNOWN PROBLEMS: 41 42 The driver works fine with the usb-ohci and uhci host controller drivers, 43 the default settings also work with usb-uhci. But sending more than one bulk 44 transfer at a time with usb-uhci doesn't work yet. 45 Users of usb-ohci and uhci can safely enlarge SE401_NUMSBUF in se401.h in 46 order to increase the throughput (and thus framerate). 47 48 49 HELP: 50 51 The latest info on this driver can be found at: 52 http://members.chello.nl/~j.vreeken/se401/ 53 And questions to me can be send to: 54 pe1rxq@amsat.org
