I'm afraid the Linux UVC gadget driver doesn't support H.264. While H.264 support could be implemented using UVC 1.1, I wouldn't recommend this as the UVC 1.1 H.264 specification is a hack that is not and will not be supported in the Linux UVC host driver. UVC 1.5 is the way to go for H.264. This shouldn't be too difficult to implement on the gadget side, but the host UVC driver also misses UVC 1.5 support. Paul has recently started working on the UVC gadget driver to revive it along with the userspace helper application. Further down on his to-do list he told me he would like to implement UVC 1.5 support on the host side, but that won't be for the near future (no pressure Paul :-)). -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
