Hi list,
I'm one of the developers of the m560x project. (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/m560x-driver/ )
aiming to provide a driver for the ALi m5602, m5603 chipsets.
As no datasheets for these chipsets are available we are resorted to reverse
engineer the windows driver.
This driver is unfortunately braindead, always sending Bayer-encoded frames
at a fixed VGA resolution.
Color recovery, resizing and format conversion is all done in software.
Currently we do the same in order to make the camera useful as many relevant
linux v4l2 applications fail to have user-space routines converting
Bayer-frames.
Is it possible to get a driver included upstream and still have such
kernel-space frame conversion routines or do they have to go in order to get
the driver in an acceptable shape?
Regards,
Erik Andrén
