25th June 2012

KWorld 2800USB capture device;

lsusb
Bus 001 Device 006: ID eb1a:2860 eMPIA Technology, Inc. 

another green screen

trying


options em28xx card=8

in a file

 /etc/modprobe.d/em28xx.conf

After a reboot, the card now comes up as kworld, but doesn't work.
Video resolution looks a bit strange...
THERE IS NO TUNER EITHER!?

...second time lucky and I have a kernel with em28xx and cx321xx. The latter appears to crash everything horribly. em28xx is given me a /dev/video0 device but motion is stalling during startup.

Looking at the posts in response to the new wheezy beta, it looks like there might be an issue with ffmpeg?

Compiled ffmpeg sources, make install, no change...
Installed the drivers from; http://git.linuxtv.org/media_build.git
Now I have a green screen with ezcap, and haupauge usb2 freezes (at the point ezcap did before).
'green screen ezcap dc60' seems to turn up a few hits, but it's bedtime now.

19th June 2012

this time typed;

cd /lib/modules/3.1.9+/build
make menuconfig

I turned on I2C in the kernel and em28xx and cx231xx are now visible. Put 'M' next to both, saved it, did;

make


and went to bed...

Father's day 2012

Trying to get em28xx and cx231xx drivers working on Raspberry Pi.

Ignore everything below... it doesn't work. Lots of errors that look like;
[url]https://gist.github.com/2902291[/url]

So I think I might be on a hiding to nothing for now.
Although I have found em28xx and cx231xx on the fedora SD card image (that seems to have vanished) I could not get them to work - tried 'modprobe' and 'insmod' and gave up as it was probably a long shot anyway.






This is an experiment to get a working composite video input. It begins with "FATAL: Module em28xx not found"

using 2012_06_10_spindle_wheezy_public_alpha.img disc image.
device I am using is easycap DC60 - em2861 eMPIA Technology, Inc
This is supposedly in the kernel... just not the kernel I have?

did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

trying to get em28xx into kernel...

get sources (is any of this right?)

apt-get install linux-source

cd /usr/src
tar xjf /usr/src/linux-source-3.2.tar.bz2

zcat /proc/config.gz > .config     <-to get the present config


make menuconfig          <- expected to find em28xx in here?


Can't see a em28xx anything in the V4L devices. Time for bed.

Lets try to get http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_usblive2.html to work using
http://www.kernellabs.com/blog/?p=1445&cpage=1

Linuxtv says;
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_USB-Live-2

another popular hit, (hope?)
http://radialmind.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/hauppauge-usb-live-2-ubuntu.html

Trying make gives File not found: /lib/modules/3.1.9+/build/.config
I think I expected that.
Looks like this might help from; http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=6171&p=80833
