Microdia WebCam (0c45:xxxx) experimental drivers – installation and testing Part 1
Posted by Hodge on May 31, 2008 in Linux, Technology, Ubuntu • 51 comments •
Updated 04/04/09 to reflect changes to the installation process.
The driver currently supports the following Microdia webcams:
0c45:6240 0c45:6242 0c45:6243 0c45:6248 0c45:624b 0c45:624c 0c45:624e 0c45:624f 0c45:6253 0c45:6260 0c45:6262 0c45:6270 0c45:627a 0c45:627b 0c45:627c 0c45:627f 0c45:6280 0c45:6282 0c45:6283 0c45:6288 0c45:628a 0c45:628b 0c45:628e 0c45:628f 0c45:62a0 0c45:62b0 0c45:62b3 0c45:62ba 0c45:62bb 0c45:62bc 0c45:62be

The webcam (Acer Orbicam) on my Acer Aspire 5052 has been somewhat of a bane – with no drivers available, it has been one of the last stumbling blocks of getting all of my hardware working in Linux (the Ubuntu 8.04 Distro, Hardy Heron, Ubuntu Jaunty in my case). That is until I ambled across, quite by accident, the Microdia Google Group. These guys are the epitome of Open Source development in action – a group of widely distributed people who are collaborating to solve a common problem: to get the Microdia webcams supported under Linux. And they’re doing a fantastic job so far.
Note: I should first mention that the drivers are still heavily under development, and although they are not (for some webcams) to the point where they can be used for Skype, for example, major progress has been made, and there is now finally communication with my webcam, to the point where I can successfully output video to mplayer. Therefore, this post is not quite yet a HowTo on getting a Microdia webcam fully function, but a step towards helping people installing and testing the drivers under development.
So, here’s how I’ve got to the stage of seeing myself in mplayer…
Information Gathering
Note: this section is only relevant if you’re interested in the workings of the camera, or would like to aid the driver developers by supplying information about your webcam. If you just want to compile and install the drivers, scroll down to Driver Compiling and Installing.
Firstly, I had to determine i) whether or not my Webcam was in fact a Microdia camera, and ii) the model number, so in a Terminan, I ran:
lsusb
Which output, amongst other information about the rest of my USB devices:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0c45:6260 Microdia
confirming that my Acer Orbicam is a Microdia device. The two hex values 0c45:6260 represent the Vendor ID and Product ID respectively – 0c45 being Microdia, and 6260 the Product itself. In order to create my meagre contribution to the Microdia Group, I had to gather some more information about the device’s bridge and sensor. Firstly, I needed the USB Device Descriptors, which were obtained by running:
sudo lsusb -d 0c45:6260 -v > ~/Desktop/0c45_6260_device_descriptors.txt
I then needed to discover the Bridge and Sensor types, which thankfully could be found in the Windows driver file, snp2std.inf:
%USBPCamDesc% = SN.USBPCamVGA,USBVID_0c45&PID_6260 ; SN9C201 + OV7670ISP
Which tells me:
Bridge: SN9C201
Sensor: OV7670
The full guide to gathering information for your webcam can be found at the Microdia group, here.
Driver Compiling and Installing
First, I installed some prerequisites – git (to obtain the Microdia Drivers source code), kernel source, build essential etc.:
sudo apt-get install git-core git-doc git-gui kernel-package linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential libv4l-0 mplayer
Once finished, I created a directory to set up my local git repository and downloaded the driver code:
cd ~/Documents
mkdir webcam
cd webcam
git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/microdia.git
The final command executes git, and tells it to clone the remote repository. The files are downloaded to a sub directory called microdia, from which I ran the rest of the commands:
cd microdia
I then compiled the code (not with sudo):
make
and received this error, but it’s not important:
make: ctags: Command not found
make: *** [ctags] Error 127
Once compiled, the module can be inserted to the kernel for testing:
sudo insmod ./sn9c20x.ko
I also received the following error:
ERROR: insmod: error inserting 'sn9c20x.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
so had to run the following first:
sudo modprobe videodev
sudo modprobe compat-ioctl32
and then I could insert the module:
sudo insmod ./sn9c20x.ko
Finally, to test, I ran:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:fps=25:device=/dev/video0 -vo x11
The only thing is… it’s currently a mirror image:
Finally…
If everything looks good, and the camera works well, it can be installed permanently by running the following:
strip -g sn9c20x.ko
sudo mkdir -p /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/usbvideo/
sudo cp sn9c20x.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/usbvideo/
sudo depmod -a
However, only do this if you are comfortable with the driver, and happy that it is stable on your system!

Thank you for your job. Hence, I think that you can add the procedure for put the driver permanently on the system with the commands that we can find in your references:(if it works – I don’t test yet!)
sudo cp microdia.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/usbvideo/
sudo depmod -a
Congratulations
Thanks for your comment Vicente. I refrained from adding the module to the system on a more permanent basis, until the drivers are a little more stable – and also decided purposefully not to include the commands you mention when originally writing this article. However, I intend to write a separate article with the full installation process once the drivers become stable, and I have tested them more thoroughly!
Thanks once again!

Thank very much I’ve tested almost everything in google and this is the only one that works
Thanks to the possibilities that ar coming soon to me! I have waiting to these drivers trough 1 year ago.
I had some problems in the compilation in my Debina lenny 64. Could anybody help me?!
PieRroT:/usr/local/programas/webcam/microdia# make

thanks.
Arnaldo.
sadly i get this:
:~/Documents/webcam/microdia$git checkout –track -b v4l2-experimental origin/v4l2-experimental
git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches/forcing
Did you intend to checkout ‘origin/v4l2-experimental’ which can not be resolved as commit?
when i leave out this part:
origin/v4l2-experimental i can continu
so i did this:
git checkout –track -b v4l2-experimental
some extra feedback.
first i’m totaly happy i have my cam working on linux!
great work!!
when i look at the div with windows. the image is much slower and has much more problems with the lighting
keep up the good work you made me happy
ow and with me no mirror
Perfect, installed and works with skype, cheese. thanks. Looked for right drivers long time. Works with webcam ACME model CA01.
the (stable) driver works well in ubuntu 64bits
Linux skynet-ubuntu 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 21:01:46 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Testing it with Mplayer gives me just a green screen, cant see a picture. Same thing happens with skype and ekiga.
Above you describe how to detect the driver info from windows .inf file concerning bridge and sensor. I have:
Bridge: SN9C201
Sensor: OV7660
I cant find above, where these infos influence the compilation of the driver. Can you help me?
I forgot to post the console output while MPlayer running:

Hi Dominik,
Interesting, since the 627b is supported in the main branch of the source. Have you tried the experimental branch? I’ll look into it further for you, and see if I can find any information. It may also be worth letting the developers of the driver know about it too, since this could be a bug. The main discussion forum can be fount at http://groups.google.com/group/microdia/topics?hl=en
Cheers
As one of the comments above pointed out, there is an important step missing in your otherwise very good description. You do not tell us what to do with the Bridge and Sensor information? Where are these two important pieces of information inserted or used in the compilation?
Please take a minute to tell the newbies what to do with that information for which I have to log out of Ubunutu and go to Windows Vista to find the .inf file to get the Bridge and Sensor info. If it is not used then what’s the point of finding it?
OK. I went into Windows Vista and copied the snp2std.inf file. It is big. This small camera has an inbuilt microphone. Plus it has several video settings. Which is why there is a whole list of “Bridges” and “sensors.” Question: Should I just use a couple for the video? Here they are:

Hi Mr Kush,
The Bridge and Sensor information are purely for informational purposes – I only included it to aid the guys developing the drivers. To get the driver working, you just need to follow the section titled “Driver Compiling and Installing”, and you can ignore everything before it.
Hope that helps, and good luck
I’ve no errors during the installation, but mplayer shows just a green screen ((
i’he forgot my adapter is 0c45:627b
Hello! I own genius eye 310 cam(0c45:6027). When i was sitting at ubuntu 8.04 i used gspca driver, with some changes(http://lalo-linux-systems.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-y-webcam-genius-eye-310.html). it worked fine. Now i’m using ubuntu 8.10, which has built-in gspca, but it does not recognize my cam. I have installed microdia driver, like it’s discribed. Installation was OK, but nothing happend… i have no /dev/video0 device, dmesg returns no errors:
[ 5823.391602] microdia: Microdia USB 2.0 webcam driver loaded

…. all seems to be ok. I did something wrong, or there is some problem with kernel built-in gspca?
I’ve forgotten to say, that I had tried both stable and experimental branches…
Thanks for the tutorial – admittedly I mostly copy and pasted but I understood some of it.
Anyway for anyone who had a dodgy driver before they tried this method, and nothing seems to change after:
You need to blacklist the old driver!
To do this you need to find out what videodev “modules” you have (lsmod)
And play around blacklisting the ones witth videodev next to them like so:
$ sudo kate /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Then add lines to the end like (this is what I needed):
blacklist gspca
blacklist sn9c102
blacklist sn9cxxx
You may have to reboot (remember to insmod the microdia module again after), i really have no idea…
hello
i have mandriva 2009 but webcam not working
pc cam zs0211 how to instalation software for this
I have a VP-EYE USB web camera made by media .com tw.,which works fine on winxp with the drivers provided in the mfrs CD To use it on my Ubuntu and Kubuntu distros I made use of 64 bit Jungle which is simple and informative.through # lsusb it is shown as oc45 6270 Microdia.I found the steps provided by you above up to install of git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/microdia.git very valid.Thereafter i suggest use of the guidelines in the Readme in Microdia.After $ cd microdia the steps in Readme viz $make , $ make doc is very important.In the continuous stream of data shown pl note for any error items such as a particular item not being installed.In my case it was dot which I had to install thru synaptic before my prob relating to sensor MT9 V111 was rectified. Being a newbie with some working idea of Linux i had to go thru many attempts before Mplayer projected
an image matching that obtained on WinXP.Amsn shows only colour bands of magenta and blue green and no images.Ekiga shows half images with colour bands.My Ubuntu and Kubuntu distros are 8.10 desk top editions.My efforts to
try out this on PC Linux OS 2007 did not work as the introduction of git caused the system inoperable .That may hold good for Mandriva too.Microdia type cameras being affordable, production of stable Linux drivers( such as in the case of Logitech Quickcam types which offer good support) by geeks merits
serious consideration.i have not mentioned about Skype on which nil result is reported.Regards

Hi, As the saying goes proof of the pudding in the eating, may be a wise addition to my mail of yesterday.Screen shot with mplayer was a deep blue screen minus my mug detail I used a digital camera to take this shot which hopefully will be decipherable. Mr Hodge pl bear with me if it is otherwise,coming from a newbie. Regards

Thanks. Works great in ubuntu 9.04 64 bits.
P.D.: I have a Conceptronic Flexcam
Hi,
I followed everything as you said. With mplayer I got the camera working fine, but when I try camorama or skype, I get nothing …
This is what camorama tells me:
Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0).
Please check connection
I even tried with “sudo camorama”, and testing with mplayer afteer camorama failed.
Any clues about how to solve it ?
Thanks.
BTW, This is what skype gives me:
Skype V4L2: Could not find a suitable capture format
Skype V4L2: Could not find a suitable capture format
Starting the process…
Skype Xv: Xv ports available: 32
Skype XShm: XShm support enabled

I tried running it this way also:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype
And what I got at the start is:
ERROR: ld.so: object ‘/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so’ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
Thanks for any help.
I found a work around, as my system
For 32 bits Ubuntu’s:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
For 64bits Ubuntu’s, as mine:
sudo apt-get install lib32v4l-0
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
And now, Skype works

Just a note to say I got my iSonix Microdia webcam working using this http://groups.google.com/group/microdia/web/testing-microdia-driver-draft?pli=1
Works fine with mplayer, but still figuring out how to set up with Camorama and Cheese.
hola, a ver si me entendeis, yo lo instale y me fue bien. No me funciona con el camorama, pero si
funciona con XawTV.
Probrarlo.
Gracias por la ayuda
Thank you, I just cut and paste your instructions into ubuntu jaunty jackalope on my mikomi webcam, microdia 0c45:6130 and so far it works brilliantly in Amsn. I couldn’t have done without this page as in ubuntu terms I am a computer novice!!

Hi, thanks for posting this tutorial.
I installed the drivers as this tutorial outlines, and the camera gives me an image in cheese and aMSN etc, the only problem is that the image appears to be “zoomed in”. There are more details about the problem and a couple of images to illustrate the problem on the following page:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1246399
Do you know what the problem may be?
Thanks.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial, I finish the steps but my camera still not working in cheese, when I try in wxcam, they catch an error in the capture of the frames. This is the error:

“Hodge,” from my perspective is both genius and magician! From the jungles of northern Thailand, he saved me from a lot of grief. I recently upgraded my wife’s Lenovo laptop to Ubuntu 9.04 and discovered, to my chagrin: No web-cam. Thanks to the “Microdia WebCam (0c45:xxxx) experimental drivers – installation and testing tutorial,” she can now continue video chats with her family and friends in the RP and throughout the Filipino diaspora. I have bookmarked YOUBUNDLE for future research. With deep appreciation from the Oregon coast. ~rc
please include ID 0c45:613e Microdia PC Camera (SN9C120)
dont work (green screen)
It used to work with Jaunty but does not work after upgrading to Karmic Koala
(
So I have found solution
Karmic Koala has already instaled gspca driver which does not work with Microdia webcam, therefore after “make” have to be removed old drivers:
make
sudo modprobe -r gspca_sn9c20x
sudo modprobe videodev
sudo insmod ./sn9c20x.ko
strip -g sn9c20x.ko
sudo mkdir -p /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/usbvideo/
sudo cp sn9c20x.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/usbvideo/
sudo depmod -a
