- This is an overview of how to use the "dc2xx" USB driver with certain
- digital still cameras from Kodak and other vendors.
- CAMERAS
- This driver will mostly be used with Kodak DC-2xx series digital still
- cameras, but it should be trivial to tell it about several non-Kodak
- USB-enabled cameras.
- You'll most likely want to hook it up to recent versions of "gPhoto"
- (www.gphoto.org), since version 0.4 and later know how to use it to talk
- to Kodak DC-240 and DC-280 cameras over USB.
- In addition the DC-220, DC-260, DC-265, and DC-290 are also recognized.
- However, like other cameras using the "Digita OS" (from www.flashpoint.com)
- there is no gPhoto support for this camera. There is a python script
- for accessing these cameras (see archives of the linux-usb mailing list)
- and a "Digita Services" library that can also use this driver.
- The HP PhotoSmart C500 should also work, since it's another Digita camera
- with USB support.
- USB HARDWARE
- Recent kernels have had no particular problems using this driver with
- either OHCI or UHCI chipsets, and have worked on the PowerMac platform.
- Note that in some cases changes in BIOS settings may be needed before
- your USB works. At least one user has reported a need for SMP-related
- settings as well, and some old hardware may not handle USB correctly.
- SETUP
- Configure in the DC2XX USB driver, and have it in your kernel. It works
- as a module, or compiled in directly.
- Create at least one device, perhaps like this (both read and write):
- # mknod -m 0660 /dev/usb/dc2xx0 c 180 80
- # mknod -m 0660 /dev/usb/dc2xx1 c 180 81
- ...
- NOTE: you would normally configure PAM so that the user logged in at
- the console is granted ownership of these devices. console.perms(5)
- explains how to do this.
- The driver supports multiple device nodes. The USB framework supports
- a maximum of sixteen device nodes (up to minor device number 96).
- When you plug in one camera, it will use the first device node (dc2xx0
- in the example above). A second camera will use the second device node,
- and so on.
- SANITY TESTING
- First: if you've got /proc support, make sure that the driver has hooked
- itself up correctly.
- - You should see an entry in /proc/bus/usb/drivers for "dc2xx",
- if you enabled USB /proc support and correctly mounted the
- usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb.
- Second: when you connect your camera to the computer, does it get recognized
- by the driver? (Make sure the camera is powered on!)
- - if you've got /proc/bus/usb/devices, you should see an entry
- something like this. The "ProdID" may be different if you didn't
- plug in a DC-240, as may the strings presented, but "Driver=dc2xx"
- had better be there.

- Third: (optional) can you use gPhoto to talk to the camera?
- - When you configure your camera, tell it to use "/dev/usb/dc2xx0"
- (or whatever name you used). Right now, gPhoto emits a diagnostic
- message (non-GUI) saying that it since it didn't act like a TTY,
- it's assuming it's got a USB connection.
- - With the camera turned on, get the "camera summary". It'll
- talk to the camera -- and tell you you're using USB.
- If you got that far, you should be able to use everything fine.
- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- You may find that you need more driver-specific information, which is
- currently accessible through a link from http://www.linux-usb.org/
- along with other Linux USB resources.
