USB video driver
I'm trying to get the new USB video drivers to work on an embedded
(non-GUI) Arm processor (NSLU2). I built a kernel (20081215), added the
appropriate drivers (uvideo, video), see the driver when it boots up,
and can capture video using "cat /dev/video0 >test.avi". I can move the
avi file to another machine and play the video. So the basic driver is
essentially working.
But I can't get anything else to work from that point. I built xawtv so
I could use webcam, but get the error message:
-bash-3.2$
webcam
reading config file:
/home/hayford/.webcamrc
no grabber device available
.webcamrc has in it:
device=/dev/video0
when I run v4lctl, I get:
-bash-3.2$ v4lctl -c /dev/video0 -v 2 snap
video/testpic1
vid-open: trying:
bktr...
bktr: ioctl METEORGSUPPIXFMT: Invalid
argument
vid-open: failed:
bktr
no grabber device available
The comment about the brooktree device confuses me, since I thought the
uvideo device was the equivalent.
This may not be a NetBSD problem, so a referral to a better source of
info would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help,
Don
