r5u87x-loader {-? | --help}

DESCRIPTION

r5u87x-loader is a tool for loading firmware into cameras based on Ricoh R5U87x chipsets. This programme is distributed separately without any firmware due to copyright issues. You can download the firmware by running the script located at /usr/share/r5u87x/r5u87x-download-firmware.sh. The script will then automatically load the firmware into your camera and create a udev rule that will make sure that the firmware is reloaded every time the system is booted up.

For a list of supported devices see /usr/share/doc/r5u87x/model_matrix.txt. Please note that only devices of type UVC (not WDM) are supported.

OPTIONS

-f pattern, --firmware=pattern
    Use alternative pattern where to look for microcode instead of the default /usr/lib/r5u87x/ucode/r5u87x-%vid%-%pid%.fw. %vid% and %pid% will be substituted with Vendor ID and Product ID.

--force-clear
    Forcefully clear the device before uploading microcode. Use this option if your camera appears to be playing up.

--pretend
    Don't actually load any microcode on to the device.

--dump-ucode
    Dump microcode to compiled code.

--reload
    Reload uvcvideo module when complete.
