Hi all,
I recently found an elta media dc8212 camera (usb-id: 0x093a:0x010e) in a
pile
of old hardware. When looking for linux-support (out of curiosity, I don't
need
the cam), I saw that there is activity regarding these types of camera
(mr97310) right now. As I am currently busy in other departments of the
kernel,
I was wondering if somebody here is interested in getting the camera to do
further research? If so, just drop me a mail and I will send it
free-of-charge.
Regards,
Wolfram
PS: The camera still works. Just checked with another OS on a friend's
machine.

Hi,
If you want to do such a thing, I think it is very kind of you. As for
myself, I suspect that I already have three or four similar cameras, and so
I probably do not really need another one. Also, judging from your e-mail
address you are in Germany and I am in the US, making it a less desirable
prospect to ship such an object for such a distance.
Therefore, I would offer the suggestion that the camera should go to Kyle
Guin, who wrote the kernel support, or, if he is also in the US (I do not
know where he lives) then perhaps to Thomas Kaiser, who lives a bit closer
to you. I think that all three of us are equally interested but as I said I
do not believe that I need another one of these cameras. In case that I
have missed someone else who might be interested, that is inadvertent on my
part.
Hello Wolfram, Theodore and Kyle
While Theodore is mentioning my name and I live close to Germany, I show my
interest for the cam. Anyway, if it is better to send to someone else, that's
no problem for me.
Theodore and I exchanged some mails about the compression algorithm of this
cam already and it would be nice for me to do something with the real
hardware.
Anyway I showed my interest in the compression of the stream because the
vendor ID is the same like the Pixart cams (PAC207, PAC7311) for which I
wrote the initial drivers and found the decompression algorithm with the help
of others.
Maybe the idea from Theodore to send the cam to me is not such a bad idea ;-)
Should we discuss here for some days to find out who can make the most
progress with this cam?
Wolfram, thanks for the offer to donate the cam!
Thomas
Good luck. Maybe the two of you can actually arrange a hardware swap over
a beer.
Meanwhile I will continue to look at some debugging output over here and
to see if I can figure anything out. Thomas, I intend to be in contact. It
may all turn into sour milk, but I think that I have discovered a few
things recently.
