中星微摄像头驱动gspca（ZC3XX）移植由于需求要做基于摄像头的视屏采集程序，视屏采集程序写了一些，在pc机上效果不错放假回家后，板子也到了，试着将摄像头移植到板子上，花了两天时间，下面是移植过程，写下来大家讨论一下。首先在网上找了一些移植方面的文档，大多讲的gspcav1-20071224的移植，我在pc机上安装的也是这个版本的驱动，于是按照这些文档开始了。这样的文档我就不贴出地址了，网上可以找到很多。把驱动拷贝到内核源码下，修改相应的Kconfig，Makefile这些文件make menuconfig 做相应的选择make zImage烧写阅读详情

ubuntu version: 9.04
kernel version: 2.6.28-14-server
gcc version: 4.3.3

gspca webcam drivers 是linux下摄像头支持的最广泛的一个驱动, 这是由一个法国医生(http://mxhaard.free.fr/)所设计编写的.不过从2007年底开始,已经不再维护, 最后一个版本为20071224.

ubuntu中可以在通过apt-get install gspca-source安装代码, 不过此代码再2.6.26以上内核会编译出错.

而从lwn.net(http://lwn.net/Articles/291054/)得知, 从2.6.26开始, gspca已经合并到内核中间,
名称为UVC(USB Video Class Linux device driver), 在driver/media/video/gspca目录. 编译时只需勾选相关的模块即可.

如果想使用最新的gspca代码可以从以下几个站点下载到:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~eandren/gspca-m5602/
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pinchartl/uvcvideo/

建议下载最新的gspca代码, 可能修正了最新的bug.

# wget http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/archive/tip.tar.bz2 -O gspca.tar.bz2
# tar -jxvf gspca.tar.bz2
# cd gspca-xxx
# make menuconfig # 选择编译选项
# make
# make install

使用usb camera插入时即可自动加载模块, 可通过v4l-info命令查看/dev/video相关信息.

# v4l-info

测试摄像头可用以下几个软件:
webcam
luvcview
spcaview
camorama
通过 aptitude install xxx 即可

示例:
# lucview -d /dev/video0 -L
