1 Linux driver for STV0680 based USB cameras 2 3 Copyright, 2001, Kevin Sisson 4 5 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 30 More information about USB support for linux can be found at: 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 47 HELP: 48 49 The latest info on this driver can be found at: 50 http://personal.clt.bellsouth.net/~kjsisson or at 51 http://stv0680-usb.sourceforge.net 52 53 Any questions to me can be send to: kjsisson@bellsouth.net
