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.
