RE: [ts-7000] Webcam drivers for TS 7200

["Daniel Perron" <>]

 

         I did manage to have webcam working on the ts7200.

 

 

        My old  3com camera was working after recompiling the kernel , using cross compilation on my Slackware 10.0 computer.

        It doesn't need to be a debian linux!

 

   

        You need to enable the usb and set   usb 3com homeconnect  (this is in the "make menuconfig").

 

        Using camserv, I was able to run a remote web cam using the ts-7200. 

    

        For my very low cost web cam ,  the WC10 , I had to redo the makefile to enable cross compilation. This is a stand alone module.

       

   

      example of the new Makefile

 

          KERNEL_SOURCES=/usr/src/ts7200/linux24

 

         CROSS_COMPILE = /usr/local/opt/crosstool/arm-linux/gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.2/bin/arm-linux-
        #
        # Include the make variables (CC, etc...)
        #

 

        AS              = $(CROSS_COMPILE)as
        LD              = $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld -r  
        CC              = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc
        CPP             = $(CC) -E
        AR              = $(CROSS_COMPILE)ar
        NM              = $(CROSS_COMPILE)nm
        STRIP           = $(CROSS_COMPILE)strip

 

        MODFLAGS = -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/misc/ts7200/linux24/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -Os -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -Uarm

        -fno-common   -pipe -mapcs-32 -D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=4 -march=armv4 -mtune=arm9tdmi -msoft-float -Uarm -DMODULE

 

 

        # We need this to include usbvideo.h
        MODFLAGS += -I$(KERNEL_SOURCES)/drivers/usb

 

        sonix-cam.o: sonixcam.o sonix_pas106b.o sonix_tas5110c1b.o sonix_pas202b.o
        $(LD) -o sonix-cam.o sonixcam.o sonix_pas106b.o sonix_tas5110c1b.o sonix_pas202b.o

 

        sonixcam.o:   sonixcam.c
        $(CC) $(MODFLAGS) -c -o $@ $<

        .....

 

 

 

      

      P.S. Both webcams driver are not very good. The 3 com works very well on stream mode but everything is black if you want only  one image.

 

          The WC10 is very good on static image but it lost sync on streaming .

Subject: [ts-7000] Webcam drivers for TS 7200

Currently I'm attempting to install drivers for a Creative Labs Webcam
Notebook (PD1170) using the spca5xx drivers someone custom made. I'm
using the 2.4.26-vrs1-cirrus-1-2-1-ts8 version kernel with Debian.
It's taken me a while just to find what I needed and acquaint myself
with the whole debian system, but now I'm just curious if there's an
easier way to install these drivers. I just want to use the board to
hold the data (or perhaps transfer to CF via USB) produced by the
webcam. Perhaps there's a simpler one on the market?

The spca5xx drivers require that the videodev module be present when
performing lsmod, however all I have showing up are:
ts7200:/usr/local/src# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
sd_mod                 11148   0  (autoclean) (unused)
scsi_mod               53756   1  (autoclean) [sd_mod]
vfat                   10168   0  (unused)
fat                    29668   0  [vfat]
usb-ohci-ep93xx          956   0  (unused)
usb-ohci               15580   0  [usb-ohci-ep93xx]
usbcore                55960   1  [usb-ohci]
pcipool                 2096   1  [usb-ohci-ep93xx usb-ohci]

Just curious if anyone has any insight on how I could get this thing
to work.

Joe
