  STMicroelectronics produces the STV0680B chip, which comes in two
  types, -001 and -003. The -003 version allows the recording and downloading
  of sound clips from the camera, and allows a flash attachment. Otherwise,
  it uses the same commands as the -001 version. Both versions support a
  variety of SDRAM sizes and sensors, allowing for a maximum of 26 VGA or 20
  CIF pictures. The STV0680 supports either a serial or a usb interface, and

  option, if necessary, for those applications that require it
  (such as xawtv). However, the driver should detect and set this
