USB camera

[Peter Uttley]

Hi Everyone,

I'm thinking about using the USB port on the MPC-850 for a digital camera.

This is only an idea for a university project and would like some advice to
see if this is a silly idea that simply wouldn't be possible (i.e. processor
too low performance, or Linux driver support e.t.c.)

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Pete.

I don't understand.  Do you mean using the 850 as a host interface and
connecting a digital camera, or building a digital camera using the 850
embedded in the camera and using the USB device interface for connecting
to some host USB?

Sorry about that reading it back it doesn't make sense,

What I mean is using the 850 as a host interface and connecting the digital
camera.

USB Camera

[Michael Menegakis]

There is a USB WebCam called l'elegant by DigitalDreams. It is quite 
succesfull here in UK but it doesn't seem to be directly supported by the 
Linux Kernel. Can you redirect me to right module that may be compatible with 
it? Or let me know the address of the webcams maintainer, if there is any. 

Apologies for the off topic message.

Please look at the device list linked off of http://www.linux-usb.org/
to see if this device is supported.  That site also has the addresses
for the mailing lists that contain people who could help you out with
this question.

Hope this helps,

Let me know if you can assume the chipset it's using.

It is DigitalDream, not DigitalDreams. my mistake. The model is l'elegante
