Developers blogs

[Jahn]

 Hi everyone,
I am a newbie in V4L fields so I
  search for various info about V4L to study available details
 I am happy I found few blogs that provides
 interesting  information
 e.g.
 http://blog.palosaari.fi/
 http://www.kernellabs.com/blog/?page_id=2066
 
 but if I found even more ....


I think it would be a good idea  if anyone
 in the vger.kernel.org list could provide his blog's ( website) address
 so that we can share knowledge   together.
 What do you think?

Hi,

Antti does some good stuff and he's always worth reading.

We do an incredible amount of Linux / V4L Driver video work at Kernel
Labs, often on very specialized hardware. We dig deep into the
hardware, bootloaders, embedded systems, fpgas, bus analyzers,
CableCard, logic analyzers etc. I wish we had more time in our day to
discuss and write about some of the projects we've worked on, or are
working on. This in fact was one of our original goals. I guess this
is my way of saying, sorry - I wish we had more time to help develop
the newbies into the V4L community.

That being said, thanks for mentioning our work.

Best,

- Steve

=) My plan has been share some hardware level information, mostly from 
consumer market USB DTV devices, as those are the devices I am familiar. 
Give some general info how these sticks are are build on a level chips 
are interconnected, from the driver developer point of view. One thing 
what I have tried to tell is how to gather needed information using some 
common reverse-engineering techniques, needed by about every Linux 
developer working with these devices.

One thing I would like to do is demodulator reverse-engineering 
tutorial. Unfortunately I haven't found suitable example yet, as it 
should be some DVB USB device having existing drivers for USB interface 
and RF tuner, and simple USB protocol. EC100/EC168 is one very good 
example, but unfortunately I have done its driver ages back. Maybe I 
should rewrite it from the scratch :)

Especially I like to read those articles related of sniffing hardware 
directly from the bus (I2C, IF, ...).
