Driver for 0x0c45:0x6128 - gspca
Amauri
Here is the driver for 0x0c45:0x6128, to be applied to
gspcav1-20071224:
https://groups.google.com/group/microdia/web/gspcav1-20071224-0c45-6128.diff
I sent this driver to Michel Mxhaard (gspca) in December 2007, but it
was not published yet.
Some strange things still occurs, like led turning on/off, but I can
do video calls in Skype...

Thanks Amauri
This will surely help out the SN9C325 MCU users (0c45:6128 lsusb).
I would nominate aTux to review this code, we now wait to hear from him.
Also, we are not associated with gspca, so I can't guarantee this diff will
show up in the official gspca driver. No way of knowing when it will
showup in distros.
Meanwhile, I would like you to share with us your experience in
reverse engineering this driver. It will help out a lot of our users,
who are struggling in similar situations.

I am reviewing the driver and comparing it to the log, it seams that
some of the code in gspca is causing the strange behavior.

I tried this patch without success. It applies and compiles without
problem
but when i loaded module it didnt create /dev/video0
In dmesg I got only info about registered new driver gspca and nothing
else.

I think this behavior began after I added the "autobright" feature. I
don't know what each register means, so I was trying the codes for other
camera models until it works for my camera. Some additional usb snooping
is needed...
I uploaded the OM6802 data sheet to the group files, if it can help.

Your log shows "gspcav1-20070508 (01.00.18)", but the driver is for
"gspcav1-20071224 (01.00.20)".
You must download the latest driver from gspca website
(http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20071224.tar.gz), then
you can apply the patch and install the new driver.
Please tell me what happens...

chipset is correct, but the sensor i think you never heard about.
my webcam sends to me this info:
USB/VID_0C45&PID_6128\5&3AC0E39C&0&1
the led turn on, and the device /dev/video0 show up, but webcam doenst
respond.
thanks for your attention.
sorry my english is horrible, like my face :)
kamracik
overwrite old one.
With that gspca /dev/video0 comes up, but with strange behavior.
Sometimes it works almost perfect (almost cose i can set it res
640x480
and framerate 30) but it works and sometimes i have something like
screen shift, half of screen is light blue and on other half i see
capture
screen in blue colors.
Tried play with parameters but without success, in dmesg is nothing
helpful.
dmesg:

that is the green led turning on and off. The "autobright" feature (in
Sonix/sn9cxxx.h) continuously changes brightness, and this command
was not properly debugged, some register addresses can be wrong (I
just added this camera's sensor to the code for another camera).
You can change the debug level by editing gspca_core.c:
static int debug = 0;
to
static int debug = 2; // some warning messages
or
static int debug = 3; // config/control function calls
Then recompile and reinstall the driver:
sudo ./gspca_build
Be carefull, it generates a lot of lines in the log...

led on top of camera symbolic camera activity and it works perfectly.
It switch on only when i start camorama and switch off when i close
it.
About brightness I can't tell too much because colors, are not as they
should be.
They are just in one hue, in blue. In camorama with settings it gives
to me
i can only change it to red or green. Don't have possibility to
normalize them.
Later i try it in debug mode and public here logs, when it works
partly good
and when it works bad. I can only have hope logs will be relevant.

What viewer are you using to test your camera?
With patched gspca driver, the camera doesn't work in Skype's video test
option, but works fine in Skype video calls. I made several video calls
with durations of more than an hour, without any problem.
You can use Kopete, Camorama, or any other viewer, except Skype...

camorama, spcaview, skype
I can't only get it to work with mplayer, where i have empty
window. I can make screen shots in each other if it would be helpful.

I can't change colors, too, this command was not checked in gspca, but
you can change some color parameters in /sys/module/gspca/parameters:
GBlue=320
GGreen = 288
GRed = 320
autoexpo = 1
You can try other values, I think these values depend on light
conditions (fluorescent/incandescent light, etc.). The "autoexpo = 1"
lets the driver control the brightness of the image (well, not only
the brightness, but also the sensor's gain, I added this adjust
because the image was very dark in my tests).
The autobright reads the mean luminance of the image, and increases or
decreases the bright (and the sensor's gain in this camera). It works
very well...

i have this camera http://www1.canyon-tech.com/cn07/pr_photo/CNR-WCAM43_1h.jpg
