If somebody would like to package up the loader tool and integrate that,
I think that'd be ideal. The only thing that would need to be done apart
from packaging is to create a udev rule that runs the loader (and
possibly tells uvcvideo to reload; or, even better, gets the USB device
to re-enumerate
Brian, the code already supports packaging both the firmware and the
actual kernel module separately, provided the firmware ends up in the
correct path (generally /lib/firmware) since we're using
request_firmware().
Note that it'll just error when loading the module saying the firmware
isn't on-di
@wvengen: Awesome! Works as advertised!
However, please change the system firmware path in config.h rather than
in loader.c (just change UCODEDIR as appropriate).
Also, you don't need #include "loader.h" again; it's already included in
the file (otherwise you end up including it twice).

Hi Micheal,
Nice work with the packaging! :)
Some comments:
> sudo r5u87x-loader
> reboot

Rebooting is not necessary.
If you read README, you will note that it's suggested you run it as
r5u87x-loader --reload instead.
I should probably also note two other things:
r5u87x has already b
Pretty sure the issue you're seeing is because of a udev attribute we
use to detect the camera has now been depreciated, so it doesn't check
it at boot anymore.
David Jurenka sent me a patch a while back, but I had an enormous inbox at the
time and forgot to look at it properly (sorry David!).
I'
Commited to head.
If you can give that a go and report back (either here or open a bug on the
bitbucket repository and set me as the owner/assigned), that'd be great!
You'll need to check out r5u87x out from the repository and build it (a

Yeah, sounds like the module isn't getting inserted into the kernel again,
which is, well, very odd by itself, heh.
However, the loader reports an error if it gets a non-zero return code when it
reloads uvcvideo, so if it failed or didn't exist it would bail. We shall soon
see, I guess.
