Hello Erik Ilyes, * This structure is good or is not. In fact, this is not the problem because I think a good choice is concentrate on existing models. Today, it seems that a consensus exists on the gspcav2 driver model. => http://groups.google.com/group/microdia/browse_thread/thread/b8c5315a758bc593/b6900b2de671aa16 http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/raw-file/tip/README.patches So, even if it may sound unpleasent to loose driver code (v4l, bayerdecode for example), it is much more productive to adopt the model with in mind a possible/future goal of merging the sensors specific code associated with the m5602 (the m5603) . This does not prevent the studying of the gspcav2 general enveloppe code and submit provides ask for corrections, extensions, bugs... ==========quote=========== Don't worry about application support. gspca had the exact same problem with many cams having weird custom formats and I've written a userspace library to transparently handle conversion to normal formats for v4l2 apps, and even added a v4l1 compatibility layer on top of this. By using this library you thus get full v4l1 compatibility as an added bonus, and doing decompression in userspace really is so much easier! This lib can even be used without recompiling applications by using LD_PRELOAD (tested with skype amongst other apps). ============quote/========= Franck ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ M560x-driver-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/m560x-driver-devel
