| INTRODUCTION: |
| |
| STMicroelectronics produces the STV0680B chip, which comes in two |
| types, -001 and -003. The -003 version allows the recording and downloading |
| of sound clips from the camera, and allows a flash attachment. Otherwise, |
| it uses the same commands as the -001 version. Both versions support a |
| variety of SDRAM sizes and sensors, allowing for a maximum of 26 VGA or 20 |
| CIF pictures. The STV0680 supports either a serial or a usb interface, and |
| video is possible through the usb interface. |
| |
| The following cameras are known to work with this driver, although any |
| camera with Vendor/Product codes of 0553/0202 should work: |
| |
| Aiptek Pencam (various models) |
| Nisis QuickPix 2 |
| Radio Shack 'Kid's digital camera' (#60-1207) |
| At least one Trust Spycam model |
| Several other European brand models |
| |
| WHAT YOU NEED: |
| |
| - USB support |
| - VIDEO4LINUX support |
| |

| |
| MODULE OPTIONS: |
| |
| When the driver is compiled as a module, you can set a "swapRGB=1" |
| option, if necessary, for those applications that require it |
| (such as xawtv). However, the driver should detect and set this |
| automatically, so this option should not normally be used. |
| |
| |
| KNOWN PROBLEMS: |
| |
| The driver seems to work better with the usb-ohci than the usb-uhci host |
| controller driver. |
