RE: multiple inputs - does it work?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi Gerd,

Is that possible to use any v4l function call to directly access
(read/write) bt878 GPIO? Which function? Any documentation or which source
code I should look at through to know the API interface?

Thanks,

-- Charlie

That is true for all the very cheap cards with just one bt8x8 chip.
But there are also some grabber cards with a PCI-PCI bridge and 4
bt8x8 chips behind it.  These cards will show up with 4 v4l(2) devices
which can be used in parallel (at least as long there is enough PCI
bandwidth ...).
