7.7.1. Introduction

This brings support under Linux for the Aiptek PocketDV 3300 and similar devices in webcam mode. If you just want to get on your PC the pictures and movies on the camera, you should use the usb-storage module instead.

The driver works with several other cameras in webcam mode (see the list below).

Possible chipsets are : ZR36430 (ZR36430BGC) and maybe ZR36431, ZR36440, ZR36442…

You can try the experience changing the vendor/product ID values (look at the source code).

You can get these values by looking at /var/log/messages when you plug your camera, or by typing : cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices.

7.7.2. Install

In order to use this driver, you must compile it with your kernel, with the following config options:

./scripts/config -e USB
./scripts/config -m MEDIA_SUPPORT
./scripts/config -e MEDIA_USB_SUPPORT
./scripts/config -e MEDIA_CAMERA_SUPPORT
./scripts/config -m USB_ZR364XX

7.7.3. Usage

modprobe zr364xx debug=X mode=Y

  • debug : set to 1 to enable verbose debug messages

  • mode : 0 = 320x240, 1 = 160x120, 2 = 640x480

You can then use the camera with V4L2 compatible applications, for example Ekiga.

To capture a single image, try this: dd if=/dev/video0 of=test.jpg bs=1M count=1
