If you had issues with previous versions of the Linux UVC driver for the Apple iSight, particularly errors when loading the firmware (“test: 1: ==: unexpected operator”), then try this new release (0.0.1-e; patch). It depends on glib (for GMappedFile) and gcrypt (for sha1sum checking) – this shouldn’t be an issue, everyone has those installed. Other than that, it supports the same firmware versions as the previous release.

Cool stuff.
How about using the standard firmware loading mechanism instead? Then people can just put the firmware (or a symlink) in /lib/firmware and be done with it.
Hi.
Now, on my Macbook (non-Pro), fully updated, running Ubuntu Edgy and MacOS X 10.4.8 it is loading the firmware but the camera dos not work any longer. I was able to see a bad image on Kopete (with lot’s of strips of colored shadows) but usually all I get is a green screen. Ekiga does not work either.
It was working with -b version, Ubuntu Dapper and the “stock” MacOS that came pre-installed.
Thanks for any ideas.
Adilson.
Hi again.
Sorry, the remark above is partially correct. Ekiga now works, I forgot to add the v4l2 plugin.
Kopete really does not but this is ok, I really don’t care about it right now.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the driver.
Adilson.
David, that’s work-in-progress, eventually we will use that. I’m taking baby-steps, though, since I want to merge with the main UVC tree before going apart even more (making a merge later on even more painful).
Thank you! Works like a charm on my Intel Core Duo 2 iMac 20″. Keep up the good work!
This is still not working for me under edgy on my macbook pro 15″ with the latest apple firmware
Define not working. :). Email me if you want to discuss (rbultje@gnome.org).
Does this work for the external FireWire iSight?
Ignore previous question. I see that UVC is a USB driver.
