1Linux driver for STV0680 based USB cameras 2 3Copyright, 2001, Kevin Sisson 4 5 6INTRODUCTION: 7 8STMicroelectronics produces the STV0680B chip, which comes in two 9types, -001 and -003. The -003 version allows the recording and downloading 10of sound clips from the camera, and allows a flash attachment. Otherwise, 11it uses the same commands as the -001 version. Both versions support a 12variety of SDRAM sizes and sensors, allowing for a maximum of 26 VGA or 20 13CIF pictures. The STV0680 supports either a serial or a usb interface, and 14video is possible through the usb interface. 15 16The following cameras are known to work with this driver, although any 17camera with Vendor/Product codes of 0553/0202 should work: 18 19Aiptek Pencam (various models) 20Nisis QuickPix 2 21Radio Shack 'Kid's digital camera' (#60-1207) 22At least one Trust Spycam model 23Several other European brand models 24 25WHAT YOU NEED: 26 27- USB support 28- VIDEO4LINUX support 29 30More information about USB support for linux can be found at: 31http://www.linux-usb.org 32 33 34MODULE OPTIONS: 35 36When the driver is compiled as a module, you can set a "swapRGB=1" 37option, if necessary, for those applications that require it 38(such as xawtv). However, the driver should detect and set this 39automatically, so this option should not normally be used. 40 41 42KNOWN PROBLEMS: 43 44The driver seems to work better with the usb-ohci than the usb-uhci host 45controller driver. 46 47HELP: 48 49The latest info on this driver can be found at: 50http://personal.clt.bellsouth.net/~kjsisson or at 51http://stv0680-usb.sourceforge.net 52 53Any questions to me can be send to: kjsisson@bellsouth.net
