[linux-uvc-devel] I-O Data GV-USB2 Driver Support

[Arthur D. <art...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I was looking to reverse engineer a linux driver for a Japanese capture
card I have and I came across libusb and libuvc. The device is a I-O Data
GV-USB2 capture card. I'm not sure if this is a UVC compliant device so I
thought I would ask you guys if you would know. Here is a link to the
English set-up guide for the Windows driver it comes with. It might have
some kind of information about it.

And, here are the specifications of the device (in Japanese) directly from
the manufacturer's website:

I would be willing to work on this myself if this is a UVC-compliant device
and no one else wants to work on it but I am still very new to learning
about USB devices so I might need some pointers or guidance. If it helps, I
was able to capture some USB "packets" from running Wireshark with usbmon
on a host linux system while using the Windows driver in Window 10 as a
guest system in Virtualbox. If this is the wrong place to inquire about
this, let me know where I should direct this question.

Thanks,

Arthur
