Sharp Camera

[dhns]

AFAIK, the camera requires a kernel module from sharp that is binary only, and only works with the 2.4.18 kernel. I think that limits the card to the SL6000 or the 860 as the newest Zs that will work with it.

I have had it working on a 5500 and 860 but not tried on a newer model. It simply came up as a serial device. I do not remember the result on a C3100 when I had one to try with.

I will try on a c3200 when I am back at home.

I have an sl-c3100 and got it to work with cacko 1.23 using the pdaxrom version of the driver.

Hi,
I now had some time to experiment.

Yes, the Camera works only on a C860 out of the box. When plugged into the CF slot, it loads a module called sharpzdc_cs that appears in "lsmod".

This driver module adds a new device /dev/sharp_zdc which is a pseudo-serial device that allows to send commands and receive JPEG files.

Unfortunately, the module is not installed on a C3100. But I have attached the one from the C860 so you *might* be able to load the module (by using insmod).

Hope this helps.

And, you might also need the camera application software: [a href=\"http://www.myzaurus.com/licQpe_camera.asp]http://www.myzaurus.com/licQpe_camera.asp[/url]

Your attachment did not work with kernel 2.4.20 but the one that I have attached works fine. Just copy it to /lib/modules/2.4.20/pcmcia and then do depmod -a
and insmod sharpzdc_cs.o
