There are two drivers r5u870 and ov51x-jpeg that should work. And they work with kernels < 2.6.27. However, both fail to compile with 2.6.29 (problem with v4l being completely replaced by v4l2) and I just wonder if there are some other drivers (working with 2.6.29) that I don't know about.
Thanks,
rzolau |

I have a Ricoh webcam on my laptop
| Quote: | | Bus 005 Device 003: ID 05ca:1836 Ricoh Co., Ltd |
It works fine with r5u87x-881.tar.gz (wget http://repo.intilinux.com/r5u87x-881.tar.gz) where there is the firmware, but everytime I start my pc I must go into r5u87x-881dbd07a263 directory and type:
| Code: | rmmod uvcvudeo
./loader
r5u87x firmware loader v0.1
Searching for device...
Found camera : 05ca:1836
Firmware : ucode/r5u87x-05ca-1836.fw
Camera reports positive microcode state.
Camera reports microcode version 0x0115.
Not doing anything - camera already setup.
Successfully uploaded firmware to device 05ca:1836!
modprobe uvcvideo

before lshw -C multimedia gave me:

I have solved in this way:
In /root
| Code: | tar -xvzf r5u87x-881.tar.gz
cd r5u87x-881dbd07a263/
ln loader /usr/bin/loadfirmwarecam
mkdir /usr/lib64/r5u87x/
cp -r ucode /usr/lib64/r5u87x/
cd /root
mkdir bin
cd bin/
vi webcam_init.sh |
write this:
| Quote: | #!/bin/bash
/sbin/rmmod uvcvideo
/usr/bin/loadfirmwarecam
/sbin/modprobe uvcvideo
|
save and close
| Code: |
chmod u+x webcam_init.sh
vi /etc/init.d/cam_init |
write this:
| Quote: | #!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2009 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $
start() {
ebegin "Loading firmware webcam"
sh /root/bin/webcam_init.sh
eend $?
}
|
save and close
| Code: | | updare-rc add cam_init boot |
It'will work fine from next reboot!!! |

Hi, everybody
I also has the Ricoh webcam. And I would like know if the kernel integrates the ricoh's driver? Or if the kernel doesn't have a generic driver to load the firmeware?
I has 2.6.30 kernel.
Thinks,
I will test the method given by scolpi and it works fine. |
