em28xx : can work on ARM beagleboard ?

[CB]

Hello,

I would like to know if someone has already used the em28xx driver on a 
beagleboard xM
(the connected device is a Dazzle DVC 100)

I have tried with an Angstrom Narcissus image and a Debian but I still 
get "select timeouts" and skipped frames with mencoded or the capture.c 
sample

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Chris

It should work as I know one person ran PCTV NanoStick T2 290e using 
Pandaboard which is rather similar ARM hw.

Did you tried it on x86 hardware?

I ran into a couple of issues related to em28xx analog on ARM.
Haven't had a chance to submit patches yet.  To answer the question
though:  yes, analog support for the em28xx is known to be broken on
ARM right now.

Aah, OK. I missed that was analog capture device. Devin surely knows 
what he speaks.

I confirm it works fine on an x86 arch
i will have a look to the HCL to find a compatible usb video capture stick !

Thanks for your answers

Chris

hi Devin,
i don't understand what you mean when you say "analog support for the em28xx is
known to be broken on ARM right now'', I hope you can give me some advice.

I use Pinnacle DVC100 capture card on cm-t3530 card to capture analog images.
cm-t3530 uses linux 2.6.32 kernel. at first the card can be correctly detected
and by the cm-t3530 and generated as the device file /dev/video1.


but when I use some application to capture the images by use of v4l2,there is
something wrong and the strace of the application shows the error message is
"ioctl(3, VIDIOC_DQBUF, 0xbeeb4a00)      = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)". The
same application can correctly capture my usb-camera images.
 does the problem can be solved?  I am yearning for  your advice.

Best regards
Julia

Hello Julia,

Yeah, the driver is broken with analog on ARM.  I did some work for a
commercial customer (in fact, also on a Compulab board), but haven't
had a chance to clean up any of the patches and get them upstream.

It's likely the problem you are hitting can be fixed by the patch
described here:

Not sure if something changed, but on previous tests I did with USB 2.0 isoc
and Beagleboard, it seems that it has something broken at its USB driver:
after some time, it stops working when submitted to a high traffic. 

I noticed this behavior not only with USB capture cards, but also when using 
it to sniff traffic, using Google's GoC sniffer[1].

Hi,
I'm not sure about the fix (it could break the driver for other em28xx 
cards) but I will try to post a patch for the em28xx problem on ARM

Next, I have encountered the same USB problem you described : USB 
stopping after a long capture (and ethernet stops too)
For this problem, I think a patch is available about the PHY update 
frequency
Have a look to :
http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/testing/beagleboard/sprz319-erratum-2.1/
I found it in a thread on the google beagleboard list)
I will try and post the results here

Regards,
Chris
