Bekijk de volledige versie : WebCam - SPCA50x drivers
Hi everyone,
I have recently managed to compile the SPCA50x driver (http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html) for Asus. The driver claims my camera (Mustek Gsmart Mini2), however when I try to grab a picture using a userland app like videodog (http://planeta.terra.com.br/informatica/gleicon/video4linux/videodog.html ) or palantir (http://www.fastpath.it/products/palantir/) Asus reboots :(
I'm just wondering if maybe someone has also experimented with this driver and made it work... The firmware I'm using is 1.9.2.7-3c (Asus 500gx).
Thanks
LP
Here (http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~prosl0am/spca50x.o) is the driver (which I believe is broken, but have tested it only with that Gsmart Mini so far), and here (http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~prosl0am/videodog) is the app that should grab images.
insmod spca50x.o
./videodog -x 320 -y 240 -w 3 -d /dev/v4l/video0 -f test.jpg
Could you please try it with your camera? The list of supported cameras is here (http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html).
OK, the problem was in some magic MIPS-specific compiler options. Now the driver is working! :D

It's working fine with palantir
http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=1362
and also with manually launched rcamd. How do I "integrate" this driver to Asus and make the "USB Application - Web Camera" work with it?
Well, integration means changing web pages, probably httpd variables and modifying rc...
Does it work out of box or you've modifed sources somehow?
I would like to integrate this to the firmware, but I'm busy at the moment. In fact kernel module should be integrated to the kernel sources and should not be separate part.
Could you please make kernel patch?
this module is developed specificaly to be out of kernel (to avoid pwc mistake??) :o
Does it work out of box or you've modifed sources somehow?
Out of the box. Makefile (http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~prosl0am/Makefile) was the only thing that needed some edits.
Could you please make kernel patch?
I'm afraid my little Linux experience does not permit (I am just a hobbyist when it comes to Linux/GNU stuff). Sorry :(
this module is developed specificaly to be out of kernel (to avoid pwc mistake??) :o
yes, but adding it to our kernel sources simplifies firmware compiling.
If you integrate it to the firmware, could you please add one new image size option to the web page? My camera happens to support 176x144 instead of 160x120...
If there's anything I could do to help, please let me know (but it has to be something more beginner-like than patching the kernel ;) )
Thank You!

I've tried this version of compiled spca50x with my Genius VideoCAM Express V2 (USB ids (0x0458, 0x7004)) with no success (yet?) I got router reboot (or hang) while trying to capture image using mvc application. I have not tried videdog since I got an expression that mvc is using v4l interface for capture, so it should be working. I've also tried to get some debug out of spca50x.o adding debug switch to insmod line with no success - may be debug is not compiled?
I'll try videodog with spca50x.o this weekend and let you know if it helps. It would be really nice to use spca50x.o on asus, so if I can help by trying it wiith my cam - I am ready, let me know
And thank you for your efforts

Debug messages are not compiled to make the module smaller - sorry, I should have mentioned that. Try the "debug" version of the module, which has debug messages included:
artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~prosl0am/spca50x-debug.o
Hi
Thank you for the module compilation :D.
I have also the Genius V2 cam, can you tell me which version of the driver did you compiled ? The last time i tryed it, this cam wasnīt supported as far is needet for all-day operation since it didnīt adjusted the shutter speed for propper brightness controll which is needet for the way the cam works, with no dram and direkt video aray to usb transfers. This makes the framerate heavily light-dependant :mad:.
I am trying it just the moment.
As i suspekted, the picture is unusable, i can hardly recognise anything, spurios pixels and a greyish picuture at all.
Also, Palantir crashes after a short time of operation.

This is a fault of the cam support of the driver, not depending on your nice work. I think other better supported cams should work fine with this driver and he should be integrated into the main modified firmware line.
Seems to be a memory leak problem or similar, cause it kills various processes as well.

Well, I've Genius V2 also, and yes it's pretty useless at this time. Also, driver is looking terrible for me...

Inside of driver, no idea.
I just wonder why the hell we all habe this crapy cam, i bought mine with the router for 15eur reduced price, and now it sits here and collects dust :)
Nevetheless, including the driver would be nice for all which have cams which support this driver, maybe not in the web gui ...
Greets
Well, in fact I've also Creative WebCam NX, which is supported by zc030x driver and most likely I will include this driver as soon as it would be finally cleared and bugs inside it fixed. This driver is looking pretty good to me.
Hello,
So it looks like spca50x is completely useless with Videocam Express V2... Pity :(, I had an idea to finally find usage for this cam.
Roofcat
I try to using spca50x.o
I have genius videocam express v2

Hi
Driver seems to have now some improvements to the spca561 support, since the developer now owns one :).
Also there are some endian fixes that may make it now working on mips.
Can someone who had done it before compile it ?
Greets
The spca cameras are very cheap, and the image quality is VERY poor. The sensitivity is very low too, so the framerate is always low.
Consider buying philips cam with CCD sensor instead. It's supported and gives nice image.

I've just compiled the latest driver (http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~prosl0am/spca5xx.o) , but when I connect my camera, I get

It is my understanding that the driver is designed primarily for x86 where memory access alignment is no issue. However, this looks like that OS is trying to emulate unaligned acesses and fails. I am running 1.9.2.7-5 on gx.
Hi all :D
Oh well... If only I had checked this forum first...
I've spent sometime trying to fix the spca5xx driver and crosscompiling it for my asus. I have a LG-LIC300 camera, and to make it work under my x86 box, I had only to fix the correct sensor for it. So the driver works in gnomemeeting...
I then begun to integrate it into oleg's firmware. I kind of made it part of the kernel, and after some fixes of #ifdefs, everything compiles fine. I'm now stuck at the same point at which lada was. My router hangs or reboots.
I could use a hand in 2 issues...
1) This module has some defines like, SPCA50X_ENABLE_OSD, and stuff like that. Where shoud those go in the kernel build env ? I know I could just put them all in a header and include it, but what would be prettier ? Place them in the config options (make menuconfig) ?
2) Also, I would reaaally love to know what MIPS optimization flag is making it crash, and how I could add that flag in the whole kernel build env. (I'm no kernel hacker expert)
If you are still interested Oleg, I could send you the patches so you can include it all when it begins to work :)
Thanks ;)
bbf
Follow Up:
According to lada's Makefile, the flags I could detect that he added were:
-msoft-float -EL -m4710a0kern
I still dunno on how to add specific flags to a particular object in the kernel build system, if anyone knows, please help... but I ended up building the required binaries by hand with the following command (kernel build system with extra flags):
mipsel-linux-gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/opt/broadcom/src/linux/linux/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common
-fomit-frame-pointer -I/opt/broadcom/src/linux/linux/../../include
-DBCMDRIVER -I /opt/broadcom/src/linux/linux/include/asm/gcc -G 0
-mno-abicalls -fno-pic -pipe -mcpu=r4600 -mips2 -Wa,--trap -m4710a0kern
-DMODULE -mlong-calls -fno-common -nostdinc -iwithprefix include
-DKBUILD_BASENAME=spcadecoder -msoft-float -EL -m4710a0kern -c -o
spcadecoder.o spcadecoder.c
I then compiled videodog to test it, and simply using "videodog -s -d /dev/video" caused the whole thing to hang.
It doesn't emit any errors or anything, just freezes... and I can't access it's kernel msg log :P Any suggestions on how to debug this ?
By any chance, do those flags affect only gcc, or do they influence the linker also ? Cause I let the kernel itself link the files by itself (without those flags)...
Hi, I'm stuck at this point too.
Compiled fine :D , insmod fine :D , no picture :( , unplug the Device and my WLHDD hangs with a kernel Ooops :confused: (told syslog to put the messages to my linux Box) :D
A firend has a INTEL-CAM that I still got for testing.
But debuging the Problem its way above my horizont :mad:
Greetings from Berlin
Hmm...
When using an INTEL-CAM, the author of the driver suggests you use an aditional parameter usbgrabber=1 (if it has a id 0x733:0x430). Did you try doing that ?
Well, in any case, I'm posting my latest binaries here if anyone wants to try them. There are 2 modules, the regular usbvideo.o, and spca.o which has both spca5xx and spcadecoder modules together. The driver does include debugging, and spits a lot of stuff into syslog.
cheers :D

Wouldn't it be an idea to make the "supported" cameras work instead of adding new devices? I.e. the Logitech Quickcam 4000 does not work in security mode (as many users have posted) and is even bundled with the router!
Well, for starters, it would be impossible to me to actually make that happen, audiophil, since I don't own one of those. And so you'll reach the most obvious conclusion, which I'll leave up for you...
I had found also, another driver which claimed to support Sonix cameras. But it required a 2.6 kernel. I'm gonna take a look at to see if it's easy to recode it into the 2.4 tree.
Hi there, havent seen anything on this thread for quite awhile so was just hoping someone out there with the right enviroment and abit of time and skill might be able to compile the latest full spca and spcacat driver seeing that it seems like it might be the last one for 2.4.
anyway much appreciated if someones able to do this for me (and also others) as last driver that worked for me was 57.02 (Flexcam 100, SPCA561A chipset) but it didnt seem to work on anythign else other then palantir cos cam didnt support JPEG out which i'm assuming the other apps are dependent on???
sorry for the big ask/begging :-)
cheers
hello all
first, sorry for my poor english.
i have Vimicro Zc301P (vid: 0x0ac8 pid: 0x303b), i download spca5xx-20060501 from http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html, the original driver working on my Gentoo (kernel 2.6.16-r7) but WL-500b (kernel 2.4.20) is fail.
i fixed spca5xx-20060501, now it working on WL-500b ok, but rcamd is unsupport spca5xx driver, so i cross-compile spcaserv for WL-500b, the spcaserv now working on WL-500b ok and you can use spcaview in you linux-box see camera video.

Hello,
how can this driver (spca5xx-le.o -> which works now) be used for
the built in usb webcam app of olegīs firmware?
Thanks in advance,
Wolfgang
I've just compiled the latest driver
Good afternoon! You do not prompt how it compiled under a kernel 2.4.20? Thanks. SIMPLY I now try to compile the driver under the videocamera on a router! (Creative pc-CAM 600).
Hey you did a great job !
I have a cheap webcam and it is working on the wl500 !

However, i tested it with palantir, and after sometime running the wl500 runs out of memory....
I tested again your driver together with palantir 2.6, and it seems to work OK with this version. However i had it only running about 1 hour, i'll give it a long test run soon...:cool:
This drivers are exactly, what I needed! I wanted to try some cheaper webcams with my WL-500gP, and now it seems, that there are a lot of cheap cameras I can buy and use!
Btw, I have one question:
does maximum resolution of taken images depend on webcam (hardware) or depend on this drivers? I tried spca5xx with borrowed Soledo webcam (Model NO 300S-F, 0x04fc 0x0561 EzCam III spca561a
http://www.soledo.cz/?produkty=kamery&produkt=webcam-led
) and realized, that it has the same maximum resolution (352x288) like max2950's webcam above, instead of having 640x480:
Dec 25 20:39:44 kernel: drivers/usb/spca5xx.c: [spca5xx_getcapability:1765] maxw 352 maxh 288 minw 160 minh 120
So, is resolution question of drivers?
Does anybody knows?
Regards, JFK
In most of the cases the hardware is limiting the resolution, but sometimes it might be the drivers to...:p
I'm trying this is my wl-500gx but it dosen't work. What are the steps involved in compiling this driver? What do i need in my router?
Toze
You need olegs firmware and an usb drive where you copy the driver. In addition you need to create a post-mount script that loads the driver after boot.
Could you recompile the LE driver (the regular one from the first post crashes whole wl500gX when I try to use spcaserv or palantir) to support vendor/device 0x045c/0x6001 - Genius QuickCam NB please ?
I currently don't have a computer to setup the proper workspace to crosscompile it myself.

is it possible to modify the spca5xx driver to support VGA 640x480 resolution? Has anybody a wl-500gP compiled object which supports VGA?
is it stable??
does that mean, I have to create scripts to do the downloading of the image, and then to host it on a website of somesort from the router? because its not part of the original webcam support?

Yes, spca5xx is working ok. It gives you more even cheaper webcam options not part of the original stock firmware.
I do not understand your question. What are you trying to achieve?
Mmm...could someone who already has the toolchain set up recompile the driver for me with Vendor ID 0x0C45 and Device ID 0x6001 ? The module posted doesn't seem to pick it up, it's a Genius VideoCAM NB with the sn9c102 chip.
does it crash is what I was asking................??
is it 24/7 stable......?
I try this module but without success :
pwc Philips webcam module version 9.0.2 loaded.
pwc Supports Philips PCA645/646, PCVC675/680/690, PCVC720[40]/730/740/750 & PCVC830/840.

Hello,
I have problem with my webcam Trust WB-1400T on WL-500gP.
I have insmod /tmp/harddisk/modules/spca5xx.o in post-mount. Modul was installed but the camera wasn't not detected :(.
Where can be problem ? I have Oleg firmware 1.9.2.7-9.

the WB-1400T need a PAC207 controller/driver and will not work with spca5xx.
Here's a new version of the driver, the latest for v4l.
I couldn't get it to work with my QC express (0x092f), the source is ok but I always get no driver registered for this device...
Maybe someone can try it and get better results.
The same spca5xx driver with some fixes: http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=147904&postcount=29
You can give it a try, no guaranty it'll work though.
hello all
first, sorry for my poor english.
i have Vimicro Zc301P (vid: 0x0ac8 pid: 0x303b), i download spca5xx-20060501 from http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html, the original driver working on my Gentoo (kernel 2.6.16-r7) but WL-500b (kernel 2.4.20) is fail.
i fixed spca5xx-20060501, now it working on WL-500b ok, but rcamd is unsupport spca5xx driver, so i cross-compile spcaserv for WL-500b, the spcaserv now working on WL-500b ok and you can use spcaview in you linux-box see camera video.
thank mxhaard!
