Hi All,
I am new to linux drivers.
I bought the webcam(BUFFALO BWC-30MS03/WH) in Japan and want to use the same
with my linux machine.
But i donno where to start.
I have very little understanding of USB device drivers.
I have searched on net and tried drivers from uvc(http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/)
and http://alpha.dyndns.org(ov51x). But couldnt use the any of those on my
2.6.24.2 kernel.
Below are some of my doubts:
1. What all should i know about the cam? like i know the resolution 1.3 MP,
CMOS sensor etc. i think it uses omnivision chip(deatils??!!).
2. with respct to USB subsystem, what are the primary details required about
hardware?
3. What should be the constituents of the driver to get the data from cam?
I have the details of interfaces & endpoints from /proc/bus/usb/devices:

please provide some suggestions on where i should start. attached the o/p of
lsusb -v -d 05A9:4519
Regarding usage, i hope i will get suitable application easily.
Request your suggestions & guidance.
Thanks & Regards
