Comment 3 Hans de Goede 2013-08-26 15:20:30 UTC
Hi Mikhail,

It seems that you've a camera which no one else has tried to use with Linux before, getting it supported may be as simple as adding a new usb-id to an existing driver, or it may be a lot harder.

Do you have the original windows drivers for the camera? That could really help, after installing them your windows install should have a so called .inf file for the camera, which may contain importants hints on which bridge and sensor it is using.

Judging from its usb-id it could very well be using a sonix sn9c120 bridge with an unknown sensor. Hopefully the windows driver will give some hints.

If it is a sn9c120 bridge, you could try building your own kernel, then edit:
drivers/media/usb/gspca/sonixj.c

Go to the device_table near the end, and add a line for your camera, you will need to guess the sensor, you could try using the sensor of the 2 existing Genius entries first. Note your camera may have a completely different chipset, and doing this may damage your camera!

I'm afraid I cannot be of more help then this, since I don't have such a camera to test with.

Regards,

Hans

Seem inf file not contain useful info isn't it?

Ugh, next time please do not attached copyrighted files without permission / without an open license. I know this is just a simple text file, but it is still copyrighted, and you've no license allowing re-distribution.

I guess I could have been more clear that I wanted you to look at the file, not attach it. I'm marking this as private to avoid further distribution of it through bugzilla.

Actually it does, it seems you've a camera using the ali m5603 bridge as chipset, so my sn9c120 guess was completely wrong.

Unfortunately there is no driver for that chipset in the Linux kernel. There is an old, not really maintained out of tree driver here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/m560x-driver/code/525/tree/m560x/branches/m5603c-gspca/

Which could probably be made to build with recent kernels, but it also does not support the usb-id for your camera. Possibly adding the extra info needed for your camera to that driver is not that hard, I don't know.

You can try contacting the authors of that driver, and ask if they are willing to modify the driver to build with recent kernels and work with your camera. If you contact them feel free to let them know that if they clean the driver up I'll help them to get it merged into the official upstream Linux sources (I'm the maintainer of most usb webcam drivers in the kernel).
