Hello guys! Have some information which may be interesting for you :) I'll forward the mail I wrote to Hans de Goede (maintainer of gpsca driver) who redirected me here =) So, here it goes:
... Recently I bought Genius i-Look 1321 webcam: http://www.geniusnet.com/geniusOnline/online.portal;jsessionid=JDYJyCzGy1S3vTHN4sdW69GkJsz2wTp7pTKJJR9WfXdqTq9vpJsQ! 731442896?_nfpb=true&productPortlet_actionOverride=%2Fportlets %2FproductArea%2Fcategory %2FqueryPro&_windowLabel=productPortlet&productPortletproductId=1092061&_pageLabel=productPage&test=portlet- action Unfortunatly, it does not detect on my gentoo powered laptop (but genuis site said that camera is supported in linux with a kernel 2.6.21 and above). My symptoms are: When I plug it in: | usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 | usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice | 7:2:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x84 | usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0458, idProduct=704c | usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=1, SerialNumber=0 | usb 2-1: Product: USB20 Camera When remove: | usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 7 lsusb says: | Bus 002 Device 006: ID 0458:704c KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems) | Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0458:003a KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems) One of those is builtin mic which is detected and even seem to be working (appears as alsa device and may be controlled via mixer =) I disassembled the camera and found the following hardware inside: 1) bridge chip is Sonix SN9C202AFG (072RATG21). Probably new generation chip? Seems that kernel contain only SN9C102's. Chip description may be found here: http://www.sonix.com.tw/sonix/product.do?p=SN9C202%20(Phase%20out) Some kind of datasheet may be found here http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/173999/SONIX/SN9C2028AF.html But it's pretty old and describes SN9C2028AF chip, not the AFG. 2) VT1612A audiocodec from VIA (http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/audio/codecs/vt1612a/) Camera has a builtin mic, so we know why it is here. 3) Unfortunatly I can not find any information on actual video sensor, so no data here :) Hope that this info will help somehow :) Guys, you're doing a great job and this is really cool! Feel free to mail me and ask if something happens. P.P.S: Could it be possible to use some of existing drivers to support this device? Seems that it is the case of non UVC cam with SN9C2x chip onboard. -- BR, Dmitry Kashitcyn aka Korvin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Lets make microdia webcams plug'n play, (currently plug'n pray) To post to this group, send email to [email protected] Visit us online https://groups.google.com/group/microdia -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
