Ezequiel requests to inform anybody using the stk1160 driver, that stk1160 github issue tracking is *GONE*.
"Stk1160 is a regular kernel driver, so it's not special and there's no reason
in having a special bugzilla/forum/mailing list or issue tracking."
Nevertheless, the sourcecode will still be available on stk1160 github for people who want to use the stk1160 driver with kernels 3.2 up to 3.6.
If you have questions concerning driver issues or want to report a bug
please visit this link: http://linuxtv.org/lists.php
or use the video4linux mailing list (linux-media@vger.kernel.org)
or
try asking in the IRC channel (#v4l).
" The regular kernel channels work just fine, and you can get answers from developers. "
Hi - I would just like to add that for anybody with a small linux device (for example a sheevaplug) running debian 7.1-7.5 (i.e. Wheezy) with a kernal of 3.2, you will have to compile the stk1160 driver. Following the stk1160 instructions will not work. to get 'make install' working, you have to issue the following commands.
ReplyDeleteapt-get install linux-headers-3.2.0-4-kirkwood
apt-get install module-init-tools
then
make install
(you will replace the header install for your device - Kirkwood is for Arm devices)

ReplyDeleteOk - Have installed the stk1160 driver on a sheevaplug running the above kernal but simply cannot get it to work, even though it registers /dev/video0 and modinfo is ok.
ReplyDeleteJust have to revert to the easycap-dc60 driver.
I have downloaded the easycap-dc60 driver written by Mike Thomas. I have got it working for my sheevaplug. I will explain how here;
ReplyDelete#get the easycap-dc60 source written by Mike Thomas
wget https://sites.google.com/site/viewandrecordwithlinux/file-cabinet/easycap_dc60.0.9.tar.gz?attredirects=0&d=1
#unzip it
tar -xvf easycap_dc60.0.9.tar.gz
#if you have installed stk1160 - blacklist it and reboot to remove this module/driver first!
echo "blacklist stk1160" | tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
reboot
#STOP ZONEMINDER
service zoneminder stop
#cd to the make files in the easycap source directory where-ever you have it
cd easu*
# have to comment out line 28 of src/easycap_ioctl.c
nano src/easycap_ioctl.c
#have a look at README.md
more README.md
#compile in the easycap directory
make install
#check its all working
lsmod #should see easycap
#with camera plugged in, output a jpeg picture from the device to a network share on #the plug
streamer /dev/video0 -o /share/outfile.jpeg
#all working at this stage for me.
#but run the permissions script so other processes can use cam anyway
chmod a+rw /dev/easy*
#CRITICAL to get zoneminder working with easycap
# add the web user to the video group
adduser www-data video
# also I had to change line 130 of Memory.pm in Zoneminder to stop shared memory errors.
# our $arch = int(3.2*length(~0));
# to
# our $arch = 32;
nano /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Memory.pm
# now
service zoneminder start
# configure the camera source - i use easycap0 as the input
#it should all be working from here - but check
cat /var/log/syslog
# as thats where zoneminder writes its errors
