Hi all,
As stated in the headline, I have a veo mobile connect camera. I was hoping it was supported in some way in linux, but found out that it is not, at least not directly. In some other forums I heard that it is actually based on an IBM chipset.
When I do
| Code: | | cat /proc/bus/usb/devices |
I get
| Code: | T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.01 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0545 ProdID=8135 Rev= 5.00
S: Product=USB IMAGING DEVICE
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=500mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=01(Isoc) MxPS= 0 Ivl=1ms
E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 8 Ivl=0ms
I: If#= 0 Alt= 1 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=01(Isoc) MxPS=1022 Ivl=1ms
E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms

The vendor 0545 implies the IBM chipset, and hence the use of the ibmcam device in the USB multimedia section in the kernel. That other forum also had a "rumor" that changing a supported ProdId 8002 to 8135 in the ibmcam.c device driver source file, would enable the kernel to recognize the device. I did that and no /dev/video appeared. Does anyone have a solution or any other suggestion? |
