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 | ||

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 | ||
