Hi,
Hi, Could you please tell us how can I easily port a linux usb webcam driver . Please know that I am a beginner . Please explain procedure to me..
When you have a look at the Makefile in examples/usbcam/src/, you'll see that, there are variables which contain the source files that should be compiled. There are several of this variables containing the files for different webcams driver. For excample, GSPCA_SRC_C, CPIA_SRC_C.
So a way to do it would be to identify the source files needed for your webcam, add those source files to a new variable MY_NEW_PRETTY_CAMDRIVER_SRC_C and finally add this variable to SRC_C.
Likely there will be undefined references after this procedure, so you somehow have to resolve those errors. Either this can be done by including more source files that include those symbols or by reimplementing them. A good place for the last way could be support.c.
Good luck, Dirk.
