I gave up fighting with Allwinner's encoder long ago. It is far easier to just plug in a USB based h.264 camera. You can easily buy ones from Logitech for $50. If you want it at the hardware level, look at chips from Sonix. Here is a board based on the SN9C291 for $8.50. The bare chips are about $4. https://world.taobao.com/item/40004211822.htm?spm=a312a.7700714.0.0.zGiipg#detail Note that this PCBA is the same price as most bare image sensors mounted on a flex cable. Plus I find it much easier to wire things with a simple USB cable instead of an FFC. The Sonix chips will appear as USB UVC devices when plugged into Linux and they will need no special drivers. They also work on Windows. > > -- > Manuel Braga > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "linux-sunxi" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to linux-sunxi+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- Jon Smirl jonsm...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
