Hi.

My CCDC camera chip OV7670 is connected onto the I2C bus by mean a voltage 
translator PCA9306, because DM644x has 1.8V level I/O, while OV7670 uses 2.8V.
Following Darius's suggestions I've tryed to read OV7670's internal registers 
using this function:

static u8 reg_read(struct i2c_client *client, const u8 reg)
{
    u8 i2c_buf[2];
    i2c_buf[0] = reg;
    i2c_master_send(client, i2c_buf, 1);
    i2c_master_recv(client, i2c_buf, 1);
    return i2c_buf[0];
}

Using the following convention:

"___" for  0V level
"xxx"  for  1V level
"---"    for  2.8V level

on the oscilloscope I always see:

SCL ---__--__--__--__--__--__--__--__--__--____________ ... ___________-------

SDA --_____----________________----____xxxx------------ ... ----------__------

i.e.

   START 0   1   0   0   0   0   1   W   X              ...           STOP

In other words, the i2c master (DM644x) puts only the I2C address (0x21) onto 
the bus, and nothing more!
I suppose "xxx" it is due to a conflict condition on the SDA line, and this 
conflict condition prevents the first i2c_master_send() call to be completed.
Otherwise, could the device be damaged?
Any comment will be appreciated.

Gabriele

Oggetto: How to interface to OV7670


Hi,

I need to write a loadable module to drive a CCDC device OMNIVISION OV7670 on 
the I2C bus.
I found a guy who came across a problem similar to mine:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.video4linux/38082

Also, he told to me that there is no support for multi-message for this device, 
as confirmed by Omnivision technical guy, and that I must use 8bit I2C commands 
to communicate with OV7670.
However, there are a lot of functions (i2c_transfer, i2c_master_send/recv, 
i2c_smbus_write/read_byte) and I don't know which I should use.
In brief, I'm wondering if anybody knows how to access this device (or a 
similar one) onto the I2C bus.
A code implementation example it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Gabriele
