Re: [Spca50x-devs] Would 0C45:613A work?

["Pablo da Palma" <pablo.dapalma@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Jean-Francois, thanks for your answer.

I hope this reaches the right thread and don't create a new one, because I didn't received the digest and I'm blind writing this. I'm sorry if that happens.

Attached is the datasheet for OV7648 I told you before. I hope anyone find it useful.

Well, I've patched gspca/sonixj.c from 2.6.27.4 and disabled sn9c102 like you said, then plugged the webcam
and this is what dmesg output:

lsmod | grep gspca output:

ls -l /dev/video* output :

crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 nov  6 22:39 /dev/video0

then tried some apps..
From console, Cheese complains about an empty stream.. and keeps showing the default color bars for video.
Ekiga detects "USB Camera" for input devide under V4L, but can't open the device.
aMSN just crashes when try to open the configuration window for the webcam.

 Is it anything else do you want me to try from here? Some debug info you want to dig in, just tell me.

By the way, 2.6.27 kernel still includes sn9c102 version 1.47pre49 which actually doesn't support OV7648. Only sn9c102 version 1.48 support this bridge+sensor although I can't compile since 2.6.26, but anyway I will put my effort on gspca driver.

Saludos!
Pablo.

The driver gspca v1 is not maintained anymore. You should switch to the
gspca v2 which is included in the kernel 2.6.27.

I'd be glad to get this document.

Your webcam may work with the driver sn9c102 which is included in the
kernel 2.6.27, but also with gspca v2 thanks to the little patch I
attached to this mail.

Take care in kernel generation: if you generate the driver sn9c102,
gspca will not handle your webcam. You should disable sn9c102 and enable
gspca + sonixj (plus aplying the patch) for it _may_ work.

Cheers.
