licenses brightsense camera driver

[cam_question]

I'm trying to figure out how to make a driver for your camera. The problem seems to be the licensing. The driver is all GPL which would be fine because with the datasheet i could figure out all the calls i need to make my driver work on a non linux device. The problem is the patches. The only place i can find about the patches are on the github driver page. Are they located another place thats not under GPL.

Hello, 

Regarding patches for VD56G3 you don't need with the version currently on the market. So don't need to put it on your own driver is legacy support only

I see what you mean.  So all the camera's in production now are VDxxGxCCA camera's.  Which is great news thanks for clearing this up for me.  

You can tell it's a VDxxGxCCA because of device_revision

 

They don't need the firmware patch 

 

Or the software patch
