Hello Although I have not been active lately, I am still reading the mailing list. My opinion is we should ask Ali specific questions on details we have not been able to figure out yet. One is the long standing issue of the hardware jpeg-encoding within the m5603. I would like to know what the huffman-tables and the quantization tables are. They are in the hardware and without then takes a lot of trial and error to recover a simple picture, basically not being able to use functionality.
There are probably also other issues like the white-balancing, contrast-enhancement. I also have a mt9v111 camera working (Creative Live cam voice). I have the old usb-snoops from andrea somewhere. I will send them when I find them. I will also try to post the necessary initialization. Although you can find it also in the testprograms, which where used to get andrea's first still pictures (about two years ago?)
