Quick instructions for using driver for the KoreUSBCam module, version C200
and Korebot LE board

K-Team S.A., 2010

v1.0 2010.11.16


Our new cameras are using the uvc driver (no more the gspca driver). 

------ Korebot LE kernel version ---------------

The Korebot kernel must be  2.6.23.1.
You can check the version with the command: uname -a

You will have firstly to upgrade to Kernel 2.6.23.1 if not already done:

Instruction for installing the new kernel, filesystem and compiler are here:
 http://ftp.k-team.com/korebot/toolchain-2.6-betaV0.1/light_toolchain/development_light_kernel2.6_readme.txt

Pay just attention that it is no more possible to compile under Windows with this new toolchain!
You will have to use Linux, or a virtual machine on  (try Virtualbox from Sun Microsystem, which is free).

------ For installing the uvc camera driver: --------

You will have to install the following driver:
 http://ftp.k-team.com/korebot/koreusbcam/driver/uvcvideo_205_KorebotLE_driver.ko

For installing the above driver:
- copy the file to /lib/modules/2.6.23.1-kb1/kernel/drivers/media/video/uvcvideo.ko
 in the KorebotLE

- update the modules with : depmod -a

 The sources of the driver can be found at : 
 http://ftp.k-team.com/korebot/koreusbcam/driver/source/uvcvideo_205_KorebotLE_driver_source.tar.bz2

------ Using the camera --------------------------

You can start using and programming as suggested in 
http://ftp.k-team.com/korebot/koreusbcam/KoreUSBCam_QuickUserManual_v1.0.pdf

The driver implements the Video4Linux 2 (V4L2) API.
Support for V4L1 is not planned by the Linux community.
