No applications exist that use the vtx support. + Of the two i2c drivers that actually support this API the saa5249 + has been impossible to use for a year now and no known hardware + that supports this device exists. The saa5246a is theoretically + supported by the old mxb boards, but it never actually worked. + + In summary: there is no hardware that can use this API and there + are no applications actually implementing this API. + + The vtx support still reserves minors 192-223 and we would really + like to reuse those for upcoming new functionality. In the unlikely + event that new hardware appears that wants to use the functionality + provided by the vtx API, then that functionality should be build + around the sliced VBI API instead. +Who: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> |
