To set the driver up, do the following:
- Get the latest 2.4 series kernel from here.
- Get the corresponding "all-in-one" v4l2 patch from here.
- Optionally get the bigphysarea patch from here.This seems broken at the moment...
- Patch the kernel, build the kernel (enable v4l2!) and reboot into it.
- Add the folowing three lines to /etc/modules.conf
# meteor2mc
alias char-major-81-0 meteor2mc
# options meteor2mc dmask=-1 # uncomment for lots of debugging info - Build and install the driver with make && make install
- Load the meteor2mc module with modprobe meteor2mc
- Load a dcf file with dcf -f mydcffile.dcf
- Fire up xawtv or your favourite v4l2 app to check if it works.
I was originally working on meteor2mc kernel module as part of a university project. If you really want more documentation you can get your hands on the write-up here.
