支持linux2.6和linux2.4的ov511摄像头驱动源码

OVCam Drivers for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels

More thorough installation instructions are available at:
http://ovcam.org/ov511/install.html

Simplified Installation Instructions:

  IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 2.6 KERNELS:
  The OVCam drivers use the new 2.6 modular build process. You must have
  read/write access to your kernel source tree. If not, log in as root before
  running the following commands.

	make clean
	make
	(log in as root)
	make install

  If make fails to compile anything, move to your kernel source directory and
  run "make modules_prepare". This builds the minimum number of kernel files
  needed to support the compilation of external modules.

Loading the modules:

  As of version 2.21, the camera chip code is in a separate module (ovcamchip).
  If you have a camera, this must be loaded either before or after loading the
  ov511 or ovfx2 drivers:

	modprobe ovcamchip

  or, if you have a video-capture box from Lifeview (USB CapView):

	modprobe saa7111-new

  If the box also has a TV tuner (Lifeview USB LifeTV):

	modprobe tda7313	(audio chip driver)
	insmod tuner.o		(TV tuner driver. This is different from the
				 tuner.o that's in the kernel)

  Finally, load the driver itself. For OV511, OV511+, OV518, and OV518+ cameras:

	modprobe ov511

  or, for the Orange Micro iBot2:

	modprobe ovfx2

Compression support:

 - For OV511/OV511+ cameras: Compression support is built into ov511.o. You
   must load ov511.o with the "compress=1" module parameter to enable it.

 - For OV518/OV518+ cameras: Compression support is built into ov511.o and
   enabled by default.

 - For OVFX2 cameras: Compression is not supported by the camera (USB 2 is fast
   enough to not need it).
