ov519 unknown sensor

2011-06-10 Thread Paul Thomas
Hello,

I just wanted to let you know the Orion StarShoot Solar System Color
Imaging Camera works with the latest v4l git tree
(http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-next.git).
It needs the case 0xb1: for the OV9600 that's not in Linus's tree
yet. I didn't know what sensor was in the camera or weather it would
work when I got it, so maybe this will help someone else who is
googling that camera.

thanks,
Paul

It's not an unknown sensor, please ignore that subject line. That was
before I tested it with the latest v4l tree.

 I like it. Can we add a section for tested architectures (i.e. x86,
 x86_64, arm, sparc, etc...).

 Hi Paul

 I think this is welcome, when it starts

 This is a suggestion, which does not mean that I do all the stuff.

 I will get up the webcams from my page to the LinuxTv wiki with all
 information I can provide

 But I hope other people will contribute, too?

 Thomas


 thanks,
 Paul

 I was thinking about updating my page [1] with the results I get with

 V2. But I think it would be better to have this info on the LinuxTV wiki.
 Unfortunately, I did not find a page for gspca. So I thought I should
 start
 one, but I don't think this is the right thing because there are other
 drivers available for webcams.

 Why not start a Webcam compatibly page similar to my page [1]?
 - a photo of the webcam
 - USB ID
 - capabilities of the cam
 - the chipsets when known
 - driver + version (+ kernel version), at the time tested
 - application used for testing (version)
 - links with some information to other interesting pages
 - and some more you can think of

 What you guys think about it?

There are a couple of webcams/composite devices, I can fill in for arm.

 Hello, is anyone using a USB v4l device on an arm processor?

 While I haven't used a USB video device on an ARM board, I have tried
 cross compiling the v4l sources for ARM.  Here's what I found:

 The v4l/Makefile.media uses the host strip binary on the ARM .ko files,
 which doesn't work.  It could use $(CROSS_COMPILE)strip instead.  I
 worked around the problem using a strip soft-link to arm-eabi-strip in
 my cross tools bin directory.

 The v4l/firmware/Makefile assumes /lib/firmware, this could be
 $(DESTDIR)/lib/firmware instead.

 Here are the make commands I used to build the v4l tree:

 PATH=/path/to/devkitARM/bin:$PATH make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
 SRCDIR=/path/to/arm/kernel-src

 PATH=/path/to/devkitARM/bin:$PATH make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
 DESTDIR=/path/to/arm/sysroot install

 I'd like to know if modules built this way work on actual hardware.

 Regards.

Pete,

I've been able to get the v4l tree to compile fine. I use the make
release DIR= to set the kernel DIR then make with the normal ARCH=
and CROSS_COMPILE=, and this seems to work correctly. Since I posted
we've had some limited success getting v4l devices working with arm.
The main problem now seems to be that the processor we're using
(at91rm9200) doesn't have a high-speed USB host.

I've been talking with some of the folks at sensoray (Danil 
Konstantin) about getting the 2251 or 2255 to work on our arm board.

thanks,
Paul
