Update on work done at FOSDEM: USB webcam & IM Kit
Here are some screenshots of what I fixed at FOSDEM...
Adding isochronous support to USBKit and usb_raw
Just to keep those of you interested updated, after discussing it with both my mentor and Michael Lotz, and after a very quick chat with Francois Revol, I am going to add isochronous support to both the USBKit and usb_raw driver. Meanwhile Francois, if time is on his side, should add isochronous support to his user space quickcam driver (see src/add-ons/media/media-add-ons/usb_webcam/). This way I can test my previous patches and perhaps everyone can start using his logitech quickcam with Haiku by using codycam. I don't know though for sure, what product id are supported.
Using the Haiku USB stack
Mainly in the second half of the last year the Haiku USB stack has matured a great deal. Not only has it stabilized a bit, it has also seen the addition of an EHCI driver to support USB 2.0 devices. A rewritten UHCI driver and a new implementation of the USBKit library are other steps to a complete stack.
