Reverse engineering is an alternative to signing an NDAReverse engineering is an alternative to signing an NDAPosted Aug 29, 2004 18:05 UTC (Sun) by hamjudo (subscriber, #363)In reply to: Linux driver model by piman Parent article: Linux loses the Philips webcam driver The existing not quite free drivers discouraged work on a truly free driver. Now that they're out of the way, we can start working on a free driver. It's been done before. In November 5th, 1995 Russell Nelson set up a website and mailing list for reverse engineering another camera that lacked free documentation. Here is the announcement. I remember testing camera code with a baby in my lap. Reverse engineering just the decompressor is a smaller task than reverse engineering the whole camera. I haven't read all the referenced postings yet. Has anyone started on such a project? I can help test, but I'm no project manager.
