[M560x-driver-devel] progress??

To all

Some comments I posted on the old forum in response to the ftp cleanup 
post. I guess we should try to communicate here

Thanks, it worked and I have made my own backup of the ftp-site now.

I have picked up on the development again. I am reviewing Ilyes branch 
to try to extend it to the Creative cam. That cam has a 1.3 mpix 
(probably mt9v111) which I want to get working. I am also still focussed 
on the Jpeg part of the m5603. I am wondering who does anything with the 
m5602 parts. I still think it is just programming to get it to work.

Reviewing Ilyes branch I noted he found out that to get the capturing to 
work without the intermittent startup failure which is present in the 
trunk, you need to write to register 0xff9 as often as you have 
Isoc-packets. This might be relevant for m5602 people as well. Also nice 
feature in deducing what the packetsize should be. The factor of three 
can also be decoded from the microframe repetition bits.

Ilyes. You should patch your Livecam source to get it to compile with 
standard ffmpeg in distribution. Now the makefile refers to /home/Ilyes/...

Also the recent patch, to have an error when the firmware is not there, 
should be included.

After those two changes (and the vendor id included) the driver and the 
application work well with my sweex camera. The Bayer decoding is still 
too simple (see the code) and with the rgb24 format it crashes. It 
should help to develop a m5602 solution as well.
