Kodak Digital Camera HOWTO
|
||
|
||
David Burley
|
||
|
||
|
||
The purpose of this document is to help one get their Kodak digital camera
|
||
working under GNU/Linux. The scope of the document may change at any time to
|
||
include more camera models. As of the current version this document does
|
||
support some other models than ones sold under the Kodak name. However those
|
||
are only mentioned as they work with the same steps that similar Kodak
|
||
cameras use. This document is not likely to grow to support all digital
|
||
cameras as there are simply too many to document in one HOWTO.

||
2. Background
|
||
|
||
2.1. Digital Camera Technology--How Things Work
|
||
|
||
Digital cameras work with the same basic concept as a traditional camera.
|
||
They have a viewfinder or LCD screen to show the image prior to taking a
|
||
photograph, a lens with a shutter behind it to allow the light from the
|
||
subject to hit a light sensitive material. However, this is where most of the
|
||
similarities end.
|
||
|
||
Digital cameras use a CCD (Charged Coupled Device) to sense the colors of the
|
||
light and their intensity. The CCD can be likened to a very find piece of
|
||
graphing paper, with thousands of little squares (transistors) to which sense
|
||
the differences between the colors. There are three types of transistors used
|
||
in commonplace CCDs, red, green and blue. Each transistor then passes the
|
||
color and intensity it sensed to and Analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The
|
||
ADC then converts the information passed to it by the transistors into a
|
||
digital format, or binary 1's and 0's. The digital output of the ADC is then
|
||
passed to a Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The DSP adjusts the contrast and
|
||
other image details to get the perfect look and then compresses the data into
|
||
a file format like JPEG (Joint Photographics Expert Group).
|
||
|
||
Digital cameras may also have the ability to do an optical or a digital zoom
|
||
on an image. An optical zoom is when a lens is used to get a closer look at
|
||
the subject. A digital zoom is used to enhance the optical zoom for a larger
|
||
image even though the maximum size has been attained via optical zoom. Even
|
||
though an image can be resized later, it is suggested to use the built in
|
||
digital zoom of the camera at this point before any compression has been done
|
||
to the image. File formats like JPEG tend to degrade in quality when resized
|
||
more so then when the image is resized by the camera's software. This is due
|
||
to artifacts left behind from the compression.
|
||
|
||
A good resource for definitions of the terms used above is [Digital
|
||
Photography Review.] http://photo.askey.net/articles/glossary/ Please refer
|
||
there for more information. Kodak also has a good site with much information
|
||
on how things work, [Kodak Digital Learning Center] http://www.kodak.com/US/
|
||
en/digital/dlc/.

|
||
|
||
2.2. Kodak Digital Camera Product Line
|
||
|
||
The technical specifications for the cameras in the Kodak Digital Camera
|
||
product line have been attained from owners of the cameras and from third
|
||
party web sites. None of the information in this section has been taken or
|
||
compared to any Kodak documentation or their web site. Please submit missing
|
||
and or incorrect information not obtained from copyrighted Kodak materials to
|
||
[mailto:khemicals@marblehorse.org] khemicals@marblehorse.org. This
|
||
information is useful to not only track the progression of digital cameras
|
||
and as a comparison tool but also for many other technical uses.

3. Communicating With the DC-Series Cameras
|
||
|
||
The below sections are specific to camera models and/or groups of camera
|
||
models. A particular camera model may be listed in more than one section as
|
||
it may be supported by more than one method. One method may be easier than
|
||
another and a specific method may meet your needs better. Select the method
|
||
used carefully and read all the options before choosing one, it could save a
|
||
lot of time later on.
|
||
|
||
If a PC-Card reader is available, or a laptop computer with one built in,
|
||
following the Compact Flash PC Card Adapter/PCMCIA-ATA Storage Card should be
|
||
generic enough to work on almost all Kodak DC-Series Cameras and many
|
||
non-Kodak digital cameras. Be aware that there are adapters for almost all
|
||
memory devices used in digital cameras to another more common technology.
|
||
Floppy Disk adapters for smart memory cards may work for cameras that use
|
||
smart memory cards. These methods also tend to offer fast data transfer rates
|
||
and are the preferred method of many.
|
||
|
||
Although something may not be mentioned as to working with a particular piece
|
||
of software don't assume that means the camera does not work with the
|
||
software package. Often a camera works with the protocols other digital
|
||
cameras use and past methods will work. If one finds a method works that is
|
||
not mentioned in the HOWTO don't neglect to send in the information to this
|
||
documents author, [mailto:khemicals@marblehorse.org] David Burley.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.1. DC40, DC50, DC120, DC200, DC210
|
||
|
||
All of these cameras provide mechanisms for data transfer via standard RS232
|
||
serial port. This section is tailored to those who wish to use their digital
|
||
camera with the kdpci application. The following steps are untested, however
|
||
there is no reason for them to not work. If one finds that the steps do or do
|
||
not work please send a report to [mailto:khemicals@marblehorse.org] David
|
||
Burley so that the status may be noted here.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.1.1. Serial Camera Control
|
||
|
||
Additional notes regarding transfer of data from these cameras using RS232
|
||
serial support will be added in a future version of this HOWTO. All GNU/Linux
|
||
distributions should be configured in such a way with a default install that
|
||
serial communications with the camera should not require any kernel
|
||
configuration at all. See the kdcpi portion of the Software section for more
|
||
information regarding use and configuration of kdcpi.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.2. DC20, DC25, DC200+, DC210, DC210+ Zoom, DC215, DC220, DC220+, DC240,
|
||
DC260, DC265, DC280, DC290
|
||
|
||
All of the cameras provide mechanisms for data transfer via standard RS232
|
||
serial port. Some of the cameras provide mechanisms for data transfer via USB
|
||
(universal serial bus). This section is tailored to those who wish to use
|
||
their digital camera with gPhoto. Please refer to the gPhoto portion of the
|
||
Software section of this document for more information pertaining to
|
||
application usage.
|
||
|
||
The following steps are untested, however there is no reason for them to not
|
||
work. If one finds that the steps do or do not work please send a report to
|
||
[mailto:khemicals@marblehorse.org] David Burley so that the status may be
|
||
noted here.

|
||
|
||
3.2.1. Serial Camera Control
|
||
|
||
Additional notes regarding transfer of data from these cameras using RS232
|
||
serial support will be added in a future version of this HOWTO. All GNU/Linux
|
||
distributions should be configured in a such a way with a default install
|
||
that serial communications with the camera should not require any kernel
|
||
configuration at all. See the gPhoto portion of the Software section for more
|
||
information regarding use and installation of gPhoto.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.2.2. USB Camera Control
|
||
|
||
There are no special drivers or kernel changes needed to support the DC220,
|
||
DC260, DC265 and DC290 cameras under this configuration. gPhoto contains the
|
||
necesary drivers to support USB transfer from these cameras. However if the
|
||
dc2xx kernel module is loaded it may be necesary to remove it else a resource
|
||
busy error may occur. To remove the module run the following command:
|
||
bash# /sbin/rmmod dc2xx
|
||
|
||
|
||
Attempting to remove the module even if it is not loaded will not cause any
|
||
harm, so it is suggested that one remove it before starting gPhoto and
|
||
connecting to the camera via USB. See the gPhoto portion of the Software
|
||
section for more information regarding use and installation of gPhoto.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.3. DC220, DC260, DC265, DC290 (HP Photosmart C500?)
|
||
|
||
The cameras provide mechanisms for data transfer via standard RS232 serial
|
||
port, USB (Universal Serial Bus) and IrDA (infrared) interface. Additionally,
|
||
images may be offloaded from the camera through the removal of the camera's
|
||
Compact Flash Card and use of a Compact Flash PC Card Adapter in a PC Card
|
||
reader or notebook PC Card slot. Currently these cameras are supported by
|
||
OpenDiS for USB, IrDA and Serial data transfer. For usage examples and
|
||
information on how to install and configure the application to work with the
|
||
cameras, refer to the Open Digita Services portion of the Software section.
|
||
|
||
Please note that the steps below have only been verified to work with the
|
||
Kodak DC-265; reports of other models that work with the same steps should be
|
||
sent to [mailto:khemicals@marblehorse.org] David Burley. There is no reason
|
||
the steps should not work for all digital cameras that run DigitaOS.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.3.1. Serial Camera Control
|
||
|
||
Additional notes regarding transfer of data from DigitaOS enabled cameras
|
||
using RS232 serial support will be added in a future version of this HOWTO.
|
||
All distributions should be configured in such a way with a default install
|
||
that serial communications with the camera should not require any kernel
|
||
configuration at all. See the OpenDiS and/or Digita Operating Environment --
|
||
Command Device Protocol Python Script portion of the Software section for
|
||
information regarding serial camera control.

3.3.2. 2.2.x Kernel USB Support
|
||
|
||
This section only applies to those running a 2.2.x series kernel. For those
|
||
running a 2.4.x series kernel skip this section. At the moment the USB
|
||
implementation in the 2.2.x series is insufficient and substantially out of
|
||
date. As such, most USB devices are unsupported natively with the included
|
||
drivers. However there is a patch available for the 2.2.15 - 2.2.17 kernels.
|
||
|
||
What software is needed (if not already present):
|
||
|
||
1. [http://www.suse.cz/development/usb-backport/
|
||
usb-2.4.0-test2-pre2-for-2.2.16-v3.diff.gz]
|
||
usb-2.4.0-test2-pre2-for-2.2.16-v3.diff.gz
|
||
|
||
2. [ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2/linux-2.2.17.tar.gz] Linux
|
||
Kernel 2.2.17
|
||
|
||
|
||
This document assumes a working knowledge of kernel and program compiling. If
|
||
unfamiliar with the process please go and read the [http://howto.tucows.com/
|
||
LDP/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html] Kernel-HOWTO.
|
||
|
||
Applying the patch:
|
||
bash# cp usb-2.4.0-test2-pre2-for-2.2.16-v3.diff.gz /usr/src
|
||
bash# gunzip /usr/src/usb-2.4.0-test2-pre2-for-2.2.16-v3.diff.gz
|
||
bash# cd /usr/src/linux
|
||
bash# patch -p1 < ../usb-2.4.0-test2-pre2-for-2.2.16-v3.diff
|
||
|
||
|
||
Select the following to be built as either modules or part of your kernel:
|
||
|
||
1. Support for your USB controller (It is suggested that all of these be
|
||
compiled as modules unless the controller type is known.).
|
||
|
||
2. USB Kodak DC-2xx Camera Support.
|
||
|
||
3. Preliminary USB Device Filesystem.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Reboot the system and then load the created modules if the support is not
|
||
compiled into the kernel. To load the modules do the following:
|
||
bash# /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/usb/usbcore.o
|
||
|
||
|
||
Use the following if the USB controller uses either an Intel or a VIA
|
||
chipset. Some others may also be supported:
|
||
bash# /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/usb/usb-uhci.o
|
||
|
||
|
||
Use the following if the above did not work and this is the controller type:
|
||
bash# /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/usb/uhci.o
|
||
|
||
|
||
Use this if the USB controller uses an SiS chipset, is a Compaq, or because
|
||
the above two didn't seem to work and this is the only option left to try.
|
||
bash# /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/usb/usb-ohci-hcd.o
|
||
|
||
|
||
Load the module for Kodak Digital Camera support:
|
||
bash# /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/usb/dc2xx.o
|
||
|
||
|
||
Mount the USB Device Filesystem:
|
||
bash# mount -t usbdevfs ignored /proc/bus/usb
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.3.3. 2.4.x Kernel USB Support
|
||
|
||
This section only applies to those running a 2.4.x series kernel. For those
|
||
running a 2.2.x series kernel skip this section and follow the 2.2.x Kernel
|
||
USB Support section. The 2.4.x series kernels have USB supported natively
|
||
which makes it a bit easier to configure than for the 2.2.x kernel series.
|
||
|
||
What software is needed (if not already present):

3.3.4. Kernel USB Devices
|
||
|
||
The following is a bash shell script designed to create all 16 Kodak devices
|
||
for use with both the current 2.4.x kernel series and the obsoleted 2.2.X
|
||
kernel series with the current USB backport. Copy the text below into a file
|
||
named MakeKodakDev, then make that file executable by typing 'chmod +x
|
||
MakeKodakDev' and then run the script ./MakeKodakDev as root (or su'd to
|
||
root) it will create the devices so they don't have to be made individually
|
||
by hand.
|
||
|
||
It creates as per the dc2xx.txt file in the kernel documentation the
|
||
following 16 devices:
|
||
|
||
/dev/dc2xx0 type=character major=180 minor=80
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
/dev/dc2xx16 type=character major=180 minor=95
|
||
# Filename: MakeKodakDev

3.3.5. Kernel IrDA Support
|
||
|
||
Most newer distributions come with IrDA support and the proper utilities to
|
||
handle IrDA. Redhat 7.0 is one of them. However for the rest of us some
|
||
configuration will be necessary. Get a copy of the latest kernel (2.2.x
|
||
series or above) and compile all the IrDA features in as modules. IrDA works
|
||
a lot like PCMCIA support in GNU/Linux so it is important to have all the
|
||
modules for any other IrDA devices one may have. There is a good HOWTO on
|
||
compiling a new kernel, the [http://howto.tucows.com/LDP/HOWTO/
|
||
Kernel-HOWTO.html] Kernel-HOWTO. Please refer to it for questions regarding
|
||
configuring and compiling a new Linux kernel.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.3.6. IrDA Utils Software
|
||
|
||
The next step in configuring IrDA support is installing the irda-utils
|
||
package. Unfortunately, at the time of the current version of this HOWTO, the
|
||
author had problems locating the source archive for the utilities so he took
|
||
the one Redhat uses to build their RPM for Redhat 7.0. Please note that root
|
||
permissions will be necesary to run the commands needed to install the
|
||
software but should not be necesary to access the camera.
|
||
|
||
What software is needed (if not present already):
|
||
|
||
1. [http://www.marblehorse.org/projects/documentation/kodak/
|
||
irda-utils-0.9.10+patches.tar.gz] irda-utils 0.9.10 and patches
|
||
|
||
2. [http://www.marblehorse.org/projects/documentation/kodak/
|
||
irda-utils-0.9.10+patches.tar.gz.asc] gpg signature for the irda-utils
|
||
archive
|
||
|
||
|
||
Extracting the archive, patching, compiling and installing it:
|
||
bash# cp irda-utils-0.9.10+patches.tar.gz /usr/src
|
||
bash# cd /usr/src
|
||
bash# tar zxvf irda-utils-0.9.10+patches.tar.gz
|
||
bash# tar zxvf irda-utils-0.9.10.tar.gz
|
||
bash# cd irda-utils-0.9.10
|
||
bash# patch -p1 < ../irda-utils-0.9.4-chkconfig.patch
|
||
bash# patch -p1 < ../irda-utils-typo.patch
|
||
bash# patch -p1 < ../irda-utils-redhat.patch
|
||
bash# make
|
||
bash# make install
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.3.7. Creating the IrDA Device Nodes
|
||
|
||
The device nodes are necesary so that the application can talk to the driver
|
||
for the device. Although the irlpt devices are not necesary to get the camera
|
||
working, creating them now will save the time of having to look them up how
|
||
to do it later if you do ever need them.
|
||
bash# mknod -m 0666 /dev/ircomm0 c 161 0
|
||
bash# mknod -m 0666 /dev/ircomm1 c 161 1
|
||
bash# mknod -m 0666 /dev/irlpt0 c 161 16
|
||
bash# mknod -m 0666 /dev/irlpt1 c 161 17
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.3.8. Modifying /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf
|
||
|
||
Use a text editor and open up /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf
|
||
depending on your distribution. Add the following three lines to the file
|
||
while being careful not to change any others.
|
||
#IrDA
|
||
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
|
||
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
3.3.9. Enabling IrDA and Testing for Connectivity
|
||
|
||
Irmanager is what starts and stops the proper IrDA modules. The d1 flag tells
|
||
irmanager to enter discovery mode.
|
||
|
||
As user root run the following command:
|
||
bash# /usr/sbin/irmanager -d1
|
||
|
||
|
||
Put the camera into connect mode and turn it on. Make sure that the camera is
|
||
close to and facing the IrDA port on the computer. Run the following to see
|
||
if there are any communications via IrDA:
|
||
bash$ /usr/bin/irdadump
|
||
|
||
|
||
After running the command one should see output similar to the following:
|
||
00:04:10.608823 xid:cmd bedcb551 > ffffffff S=6 s=2 (14)
|
||
00:04:10.698818 xid:cmd bedcb551 > ffffffff S=6 s=3 (14)
|
||
00:04:10.788815 xid:rsp bedcb551 < 5f36a4a1 S=6 s=3 Kodak DC265 Zoom hint=8404 [ Computer IrCOMM ]

|
||
|
||
6 packets received by filter
|
||
|
||
|
||
If the previous message was not displayed, try relocating the camera closer
|
||
or further away from the IrDA port and ensure that there is not too much
|
||
external interference in the environment in the form of light. Also if the
|
||
machine is a laptop with a PC-Card (or PCMCIA) modem removing it may help
|
||
resolve the issue.

save the battery power in the camera's batteries. The method of connectivity
|
||
suggested in this section applies to all Kodak DC-Series cameras that use
|
||
either PCMCIA-ATA storage cards or Compact Flash Cards. This method of
|
||
picture access only allows for storage, retrieval, and deletion of images on
|
||
a Compact Flash Card. These instructions are tested with a Kodak 16 MB
|
||
Picture Card and a SanDisk CompactFlash PC Card Adapter on a Dell Inspiron
|
||
7000 notebook computer.
|
||
|
||
What software is needed (if not already present):
|
||
|
||
1. [http://download.sourceforge.net/pcmcia-cs/pcmcia-cs-3.1.21.tar.gz]
|
||
PCMCIA-CS-3.1.21
|
||
|
||
|
||
This document assumes a working knowledge of kernel and program compiling. If
|
||
unfamiliar with the process it is strongly suggested to go and read the
|
||
[http://howto.tucows.com/LDP/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html] Kernel-HOWTO.
|
||
|
||
Select the following to be built as either modules or part of your kernel:
|
||
|
||
1. DOS FAT fs support
|
||
|
||
2. VFAT (Windows-95) fs support
|
||
|
||
|
||
Reboot the system and then load the created modules each time access to the
|
||
compact flash card is desired if the support is not compiled into the kernel.
|
||
To load the modules do the following:
|
||
bash# /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/fat.o
|
||
bash# /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/vfat.o
|
||
|
||
|
||
Compile and configure PCMCIA-CS. This part of the process is beyond the scope
|
||
of this document, however there is a document with such information that can
|
||
be found in the [http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/doc/PCMCIA-HOWTO.html]
|
||
PCMCIA-HOWTO. There is also most likely a pre-packaged version for the
|
||
distribution of GNU/Linux the computer running. This step can be greatly
|
||
simplified if a pre-packaged version is used.
|
||
|
||
Using the Compact Flash PC Card Adapter:
|
||
|
||
Create a directory to mount the Compact Flash Card to.
|
||
bash# mkdir /flashcard
|
||
|
||
|
||
Insert the Compact Flash Card into the Compact Flash PC Card Adapter (both
|
||
should face the same direction. Note that this step is unnecessary for the
|
||
cameras that use a PCMCIA-ATA storage card.).
|
||
|
||
Insert the Compact Flash PC Card Adapter or PCMCIA-ATA storage card into the
|
||
PC-Card slot of the notebook computer.
|
||
|
||
Mount the card to /flashcard (The Compact Flash Card PC Card Adapter/
|
||
PCMCIA-ATA storage card is assigned its device by figuring out how many IDE
|
||
controllers are on the system, and then assigning it the next device. For
|
||
example, if a system were to have 2 IDE controllers, and would thus have /dev
|
||
/hda /dev/hdb /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd assigned to the current controllers, the
|
||
Compact Flash Card PC Card Adapter would be assigned /dev/hde1.).
|
||
bash# mount -t vfat /dev/hde1 /flashcard
|
||
|
||
|
||
From this point the files can be copied, moved, deleted, and renamed as done
|
||
on a normal filesystem. Information regarding file management commands may be
|
||
found in the documentation included with the OS distribution used, such as
|
||
man pages. The manual pages which list the commands to use to do the above
|
||
procedures can be accesses by typing the following to get the command's
|
||
respective manual page entry: 'man cp', 'man mv', 'man rm'. Before removing
|
||
the Compact Flash Card PC Card Adapter remember to unmount it with the
|
||
following command.
|
||
bash# umount /flashcard
|
||
|
||
|
||
The Compact Flash Card PC Card Adapter/PCMCIA-ATA storage card can be removed
|
||
from the PC Card Reader and the Compact Flash Card and be removed from the
|
||
Compact Flash Card PC Card Adapter (If the adapter was used).

4. Software Support
|
||
|
||
4.1. OpenDiS (Open Digita Services)
|
||
|
||
[http://ods.sourceforge.net/] OpenDiS Web Site
|
||
|
||
OpenDiS contains a user-level program and an access library for using
|
||
DigitaOS enabled cameras. Currently those cameras would be the Kodak DC220,
|
||
DC260, DC265, DC290 and HP Photosmart C500 and the Minolta EX1500. Although
|
||
the Kodak digital camera series works best with this application the others
|
||
have been found to work with the application also. This program has a CLI
|
||
(command line interface) which is very useful for scripting tasks.
|
||
|
||
What is needed: [http://ods.sourceforge.net/dl/opendis-0.0.3.tar.gz] OpenDiS
|
||

||
bash# make install
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
4.1.2. Usage
|
||
|
||
The following usage section is taken directly from the output of the ks
|
||
command.
|
||
|
||
Usage: ks [OPTION]... [COMMAND]...
|
||
|
||
Connect to camera and perform COMMANDs.
|
||
Updated: 0.0.3
|
||
Development note: currently some COMMANDs are supported; default
|
||
action is to display this help. However, all listed
|
||

|
||
to 9600. Not applicable to USB or IrDA.
|
||
-t TYPE, --type=TYPE Specifies device type, one of: "serial"
|
||
"usb", or "irda". Normally, device type
|
||
can be deduced from DEV and need not be
|
||
specified
|
||
-i, --irda Same as --type=irda
|
||
-s, --serial Same as --type=serial
|
||

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
4.1.3. Usage Examples
|
||
|
||
USB:
|
||
|
||
Special USB notes. The USB stack has been ever changing in the developmental
|
||
kernels and as such works differently from time to time. In playing with the
|
||
latest developmental kernel released the camera tends to show up on /dev/
|
||
dc2xx0 or /dev/dc2xx1, independent of the fact that only one camera is
|
||
connected. The support for these devices is all fairly new, so expect to have
|
||
to play with it to get it working. The following should allow one to download
|
||
all images from the camera to the working directory with a USB connection.
|
||
Make sure that the camera is in connect mode.
|
||
bash$ ks -d /dev/dc2xx0 download
|
||
|
||
|
||
Serial:
|
||
|
||
Serial support does work and as such the following command should allow one
|
||
to download all images from the camera into their current working directory.
|
||
Modify the serial port device name as necessary. Ensure that the camera is on
|
||
and in connect mode and that the serial cable is connected between the
|
||
computer's serial port and the camera.
|
||
bash$ ks -d /dev/ttyS0 download
|
||
|
||
|
||
IrDA:
|
||
|
||
IrDA is not supported in the release version of OpenDiS, however support has
|
||
been added to the CVS version. To obtain the latest version of OpenDiS via
|
||
CVS run the following (hit the enter key at the password prompt, there is no
|
||
password):
|
||
bash$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ods.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ods login
|
||
bash$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ods.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ods checkout bash# bash$ ods/opendis-current
|
||
|
||
|
||
To compile and configure this version do the following:
|
||
bash$ cd ods
|
||
bash$ cd opendis-current
|
||
bash$ ./configure
|
||
bash$ make
|
||
bash# make install
|
||
|
||
|
||
An example command which will download all the images from the camera via
|
||
IrDA would look as follows. Remember to have the camera on and in connect
|
||
mode. It may also be advisable to increase the auto-shutoff feature to a
|
||
larger value (5 minutes if possible).
|
||
bash$ ks -d /dev/ircomm0 download
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
4.2. Digita Operating Environment- Command Device Protocol Python Script
|
||
|
||
This Python script written by Sai Lai Lo of AT&T Cambridge Laboratories
|
||
allows for download
|
||
|
||
of images from Kodak Digital Cameras running DigitaOS (DC220, DC260, DC265
|
||
and DC290) and using USB for transfer. Some have problems with this script
|
||
and some don't. However it is nice to cover all bases.
|
||
|
||
Here a working copy of the [http://www.marblehorse.org/projects/documentation
|
||
/kodak/cdp.py] Command Device Protocol Python Script can be attained. The
|
||
original [http://home.pacbell.net/david-b/digicam/dc290.txt] Command Device
|
||
Protocol Python Script for which the one above is derived has to be edited to
|
||
remove leading text to work.
|
||
|
||
The script depends on /dev/kodak existing due to the way older kernels
|
||
accessed the Kodak Digital Camera USB Device. A symbolic link must be created
|
||
between the actual device the camera is on and /dev/kodak. If the camera is
|
||
on /dev/dc2xx0 the symbolic link needed can be created with the following
|
||
command:
|
||
bash# ln -s /dev/dc2xx0 /dev/kodak
|
||
|
||
|
||
Be sure to substitute in the proper device name instead of dc2xx0 if the
|
||
camera was not assigned dc2xx0. To list all files on the camera run the
|
||
following command:
|
||
bash$ python cdp.py
|
||
|
||
|
||
To download a single image from the camera run the following command,
|
||
remember to modify the command accordingly for your specific camera:
|
||
bash$ python cdp.py 2:DC265_01/P0000748.JPG
|
||
|
||
|
||
That command will download the image P0000748.JPG to the directory DC265_01
|
||
in the current directory. A quick and easy command to download all the images
|
||
from the camera would be:
|
||
bash$ for file in $(python cdp.py); do python cdp.py $file; done
|
||
|
||
|
||
This is just a few of the many ways such a script can work. It is possible to
|
||
use the above command in a larger shell script to automate downloading the
|
||
images from the camera, converting the images to another format, resizing the
|
||
images, creating a web page automatically, and many many others. The options
|
||
are endless when it comes to scripts like this.

4.3. gPhoto
|
||
|
||
[http://www.gphoto.org] gPhoto Web Site
|
||
|
||
Still deciding the best way to implement this section. Possibly a DocBook
|
||
manual for gPhoto needs to be written but according to the gPhoto project web
|
||
site a manual is being developed at the moment. Contact with the developers
|
||
of gPhoto has been made and a decision to work on the document at some point,
|
||
presuming someone else doesn't do it earlier, has been made. However the
|
||
document processing program used to create this HOWTO, LyX, does not support
|
||
all the necessary SGML tags and thus that will become an intermediate project
|
||
before a manual for gPhoto.
|
||
|
||
A manual is available for gPhoto with its source code and may also be
|
||
distributed with the various package offerings available with gPhoto binary
|
||
distributions. The filename is MANUAL and it is located in the root of the
|
||
extracted tar archive. The file INSTALL details the process of compiling and
|
||
installing gPhoto if a binary package is not available for a particular
|
||
distribution.
|
||
|
||
gPhoto supports serial image transfer from the Kodak DC20, DC25, DC200+,
|
||
DC210, DC210+ Zoom, DC215 Zoom, DC220, DC220+, DC240, DC260, DC265, DC280 and
|
||
DC290 with it's 0.4.3 release. With the CVS version of the software USB
|
||
support is added for the DC220, DC260, DC265 and the DC280. gPhoto tends to
|
||
be the preferred application of most digital camera users under GNU/Linux and
|
||
is distributed with [http://www.helixcode.com/] Helix GNOME.

5.2.2. Linux-kernel
|
||
|
||
[http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel%40vger.rutgers.edu/] Linux-kernel
|
||
|
||
The linux-kernel mailing list is a very high traffic mailing list detailing
|
||
all aspects of the Linux kernel. This list is only for those who wish to have
|
||
more information than the Linux-USB list and the gPhoto-Kodak lists contain.
|
||
However, it covers much more of a broad spectrum of topics than Kodak digital
|
||
camera support under Linux.
|
||
|
||
Before posting or subscribing to the Linux-kernel mailing list is is highly
|
||
suggested reading the [http://www.tux.org/lkml/] Linux-kernel mailing list
|
||
FAQ. It could save much time and embarrassment. It also contains useful
|
||
information on who certain individuals are in the Linux community in relation
|
||
to their standing on the list.
|
||
|
||
To subscribe to the list (remember, it is about 200 emails a day) send an
|
||
email to [mailto:majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu] majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu with
|
||
"subscribe linux-kernel username@mailserver" in the body of the message where
|
||
username is the email account to be used and mailserver is the name of the
|
||
mail server. Remember to omit the quotation marks.
|
||
|
||
An alternative to joining the list would be to get the list in digest format.
|
||
This is a better format to many as it is a few emails a day rather than
|
||
several hundred. One drawback of this is that it is not as easy to discuss
|
||
the issues with the mailing list as most mail clients don't know how to deal
|
||
with the digest in its format besides dealing with it like plain text. To
|
||
subscribe to the digest send an email to [mailto:majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu]
|
||
majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu with the line "subscribe linux-kernel-digest
|
||
username@mailserver" in the body of the message. Where username is the email
|
||
account username to be used and mailserver is the name of the mail server.
|
||
Remember to omit the quotation marks.
|
||
|
||
Unsubscribing from the mail list is as easy as subscribing. Just send an
|
||
email to [mailto:majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu] majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu with
|
||
the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of the message, or
|
||
alternately "unsubscribe linux-kernel-digest" if subscribed to the digest.
|
||
And again, remember to omit the quotation marks.
|
||
|
||
Rather than subscribing to this list it would be highly suggested to search
|
||
through the archive which is accessible via the URL listed above. Another
|
||
alternative is the [http://kt.linuxcare.com/] Kernel Trafficsite. It contains
|
||
a good overview of the weeks kernel developmental works and discussions in a

6. FAQ
|

7. TODO
|
||
|
||

||
things meant to added in the future that others have suggested. If anyone has
|
||

|
||
khemicals@marblehorse.org] David Burley.
|
||
|
||
1. Interesting digital camera uses (aerial/under water photography among
|
||
others).
|
||
|
||
2. Additional support of more Kodak digital cameras (gPhoto support with
|
||
those).
|
||
|
||
3. Support for non-Kodak digital cameras (most likely not anytime in the
|
||
near future. this is out of the scope of the current document.).
|
||
|
||
4. Additional camera interfacing methods.
|
||
|
||
5. Updating Firmware (current format for firmware is an Install Shield
