- README AND INSTALL
- What is it?
- ===========
- This is version 1.00.xx of the "gspca" video for linux (v4l1) driver, providing
- support for webcams and digital cameras based on the range of chips
- manufactured by SunPlus Sonix Z-star Vimicro Conexant Etoms Transvision Mars-Semi Pixart
- Gspca have a strong history. The project born with spca50x for Sunplus chipset become spca5xx to support a large range of chipset,
- and is now set as gspca. GSPCA mean "Generic Software Package for Camera Adaptator".
- Please address all correspondence to <mxhaard at magic dot fr>, or
- make use of the bug/support/patch tracking facilities provided by SourceForge,
- at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/spca50x/>.

- ==========
- We believe that this driver will perform correctly in many circumstances.
- It is, however, experimental code, running at the kernel level, and may
- potentially cause serious data corruption, or worse.
- Do not use this driver unless you are prepared for this eventuality.
- Use of this driver constitutes an agreement that no-one other than yourself may
- be held responsible for any effects caused by the driver, ill or otherwise.
- What cameras are supported?
- ===========================
- Currently, the following cameras are supported by this driver:

- This list represents those cameras that are specifically supported by the
- driver, and should work to some degree 'out of the box'. A full list of the
- cameras known to the project maintainers can be found on
- http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html.
- How do I use it?
- ================
- Well, first you need to compile the driver (see below), then you need to make
- sure that the v4l infrastructure is set up and then load the driver. After
- you've done that, any v4l enabled application, such as spcaview, gqcam, xawtv,
- gnomemeeting, camE etc should work.
- Supported kernel versions
- =========================
- The driver should compile and run successfully against most stable versions of
- the official Linux 2.6.x kernel upto version 2.6.11 (from <http://www.kernel.org/>)
- Compiling it
- ============
- The driver module can be built without modifying your kernel source tree.
- Before trying to compile the driver, ensure that you've configured your
- kernel, and updated the dependencies:
- 'make [config|menuconfig|xconfig]; make dep'.
- Make sure, when compiling the driver, you use the same version of compiler as
- was used to compile your kernel. Not doing so can create incompatible binaries.
- as root
- goes to gspcav1 directory and run:
- ./gspca_build
- if all goes right the module is compiled and load in memory
- if not, errors messages can be found in kgspca.err You should post this file to the maintainer
- or in the sourceforge project bugs report. <http://sourceforge.net/projects/spca50x/>.
- Trying a v4l app
- ================
- goes to gspcagui directory
- be sure to have libsdl installed with the header
- then
- make
- as root
- make install
- Plug your webcam and run
- gspcagui -d /dev/video0
- adjust video0 to your hardware
- Press the G button and wait for the webcam probe
- you can now play, the two windows are active
- mouse can be used to select a Region of Interess within the grabbing windows
- then press the center of the pad to zoom:)
- Picture and avi are implemented just press the button to start/stop
- How about downloading pictures from it, or videos?
- ==================================================
- This driver is a v4l driver, whose scope is only streaming video. Support for
- downloading images and movies for a lot of spca50x cameras is provided as part
- of the gphoto2 project, which can be found at: <http://www.gphoto.org>.
- Limitations and known problems
- ==============================
- Support for some bridges is not complete yet.
- Not all resolutions work.
- The driver as a whole is experimental.
- This is a mighty fine project, how can I learn more about it?
- =============================================================
- <http://spca50x.sourceforge.net/> (nuff said)
- I want to whine regularly, where can I?
- =======================================
- Please address all support requests to <spca50x-devs@lists.sourceforge.net>,
- or use the support/patch/bug tracking features provided by sourceforge on our
- project page <http://sourceforge.net/projects/spca50x/>.
- Who can I blame?

- Credits (quoting Joel):
- Thanks to all the authors of the ov511 driver and its ancestors.
- Thanks to Darrell Scott for debug assistance and suggestions.
- Thanks to Razvan Surdulescu for kicking me back into action.
- Thanks to Bill Roehl for traces on the Create and Share (id 0x401). I WILL
- make this work... or die trying...
- Thanks to everyone who has tested this driver and given me feedback on it.
- A note on Sunplus Z-star Vimicro Conexant Transvision Etoms Pixart Mars-Semi and our interaction with them so far
- =================================================================================================================
- Several of us have tried, at various times, to obtain information on the
- bridge and sensors chips from these Manufacturers, but have failed, seemingly due to a lack of
- interest to cooperate on their part. Therefore, this driver is the result of
- reverse engineering the protocols and functionality provided by these chips.
- This limits what we can do, and it limits the quality of the driver. We would
- much prefer to fully support all the features the chips provide, but without
- Manufacturers supplying us with the needed specifications and technical
- documentation, this is unlikely to happen.
- This project benefits from Logitech's help
