Could anyone help me make this thing to work?
I have added the webcam repo, the system recognizes it
dmesg output:
[ 1173.204072] usb 8-1: USB disconnect, address 2

lsusb:
Bus 008 Device 003: ID 0c45:614a Microdia
BUT it doesn't work, v4l does nothing to it, i tried symlinking the dev to /dev/video0 but it still doesn't work, has anyone made it to work?
are there any logs from device 627f ? If not, could someone please
create some ?
This device doesn't use a fixed sensor model. The sensor configuration
is defined by an EEPROM (has nothing to do with the 0x50 EEPROM issue !).
For the reported camera models, the sensor configuration seems to be the
same as used by 624f.
However, to add support for this device, we need to know how to
determine this.

Using Xubuntu 18.04 on a Dell laptop that does not have a web camera. I bought an external webcam that advertised as being compatible with ubuntu. Plugged in, lsusb sees it, but it will not show an image on cheese. Bus 002 Device 013: ID 0c45:6366 Microdia I think the video driver for the camera is not present.

- MICRODIA PC CAMERA UBUNTU DRIVER - I really don't think it's worth the effort, the driver is no longer under active development, and as I said, doesn't support you webcam anyway.
