Question: I'm trying to read the device ID of the camera, using the OV7660 camera setup,

The datasheet for the camera says, the register address 0x0a 0x0b should contain the values

which are the device ID for the camera.The register value stored in the register address is not

able to be fetched, instead to read the value the program enters a wrong loop to write the register value. could you please tell me how the values are passed.for the register address mentioned to read the values stored in them.

===========================================

Upon running the program after chaning the register address: as 0x0a ,0x0b the error I get is:

Location of Program: ashu@ashu:~/uClinux-dist-2008R1.5-RC3/user/blkfin-test/twi_test

( the uClinux dist/user/blkfin-test/twi_test)

ERROR MESSAGE:

Case 1: Program with correct I2C_SLAVE address

-----------------------------------------

local_cam_get_register: error reading value @ 0x0a, errno = 1

Fail to get data from register 10

============================================

I tried to understand the function which is always going in to the error to get the cam register value stored in the address 0x0a and 0x0b. kindly tell me how to avoid this error in the write function, as I have highlighted below:

int

local_cam_get_register(int filehandle,

int bus_width,

int reg_addr,

int *val)

{

unsigned char regval = reg_addr; /* Device register to access */

unsigned char buf[10];

int try_count;

buf[0] = regval;

int temp;

if ( write(filehandle, buf, 1) != 1) // 3rd parameter the number of bytes, mentioned as 1 here, but still
