Hello Vaibhav, This is user manual of S3C6400 (not much different from S3C6410) http://www.ebv.com/fileadmin/products/Products/Samsung/S3C6400/S3C6400X_UserManual_rev1-0_2008-02_661558um.pdf That SoC is from my company but not from the same division of mine. Actually I'm doing this driver job without any request from chip delivering division. I'm doing this because this is so challenging and want better generic driver :-) Take a look at the user manual and please let me know your opinion. In my understanding scaler and some camera interface feature in S3C64XX are very similar to the features in Omap3.
