[linux-uvc-devel] Setting Exposure on Realtek RTS5825

[Brian Michalk]

I am working on a project that requires setting exposure times.

At the moment, I am using a BravoLink USB endoscope camera. It appears
to use the Realtek RTS5825 chipset, showing up as USB device 0bda:5801.

When I use the various utilities (qv4l2, qvlc), modifying the exposure
does nothing. The list of compliant devices for the UVC driver shows
that this device is supported.

All I really need is a good quality USB endoscope. I am totally open to
getting a camera that works. But I'd rather not buy 20 cams to test
them out to find what works.

Any suggestions on how to get this one to work, or on which endoscope
camera I should buy?

If it works good on M$, then reverse engineering.
