The answer is: it does not work yet out of the box, but the conversion effort should really be pretty low for standard v4l2-subdev drivers. It should be _very_ low if you just want to try it locally, however, it will become more essential to bring it into the mainline, because there it will have to be done _properly_, by extending existing, and adding missing APIs. Basically, we just need a real-life example to actually perform this work. Up to now there have been a few such requests, but each time the requester disappeared shortly after the first discussion round, so, we never had a chance to actually accomplish the task. > Does it depends on conversion to v4l2-device API? > (http://www.open-technology.de/index.php?/pages/soc-camera.html) Thanks for reminding me;) As you can see, that page is dated by 2009, since then a couple of things have changed. You'd be better off looking at the sources or the soc-camera category in my blog.
