This directory contains a driver for the Sony DSC-F55E camera.
The driver supports the Serial Port Adaptor MSAC-SR1 too (tested
with Memory Sticks used by a DCR-PC100).
The driver currently manages still images only.


To build the library and stand alone execute make from the shell prompt

	$ make


after make completes, there will be an executable called rsony in this
directory.


When using as a command line utility, set the cameras serial port using the 
following shell variable.

	$ export DSCF55E_PORT="/dev/ttyS0" (replace with required port)

To select 115200 baud set a shell variable as below.

	$ export DSCF55E_SPEED=115200

This is used in both the standalone and library versions.

To use the MSAC-SR1 and Memory Sticks used by the DCR-PC100 set a
shell variable as below.

 	$ export DSCF55E_MODEL=MSAC_SR1

The export command is used with bash, other shells have their own method of 
setting variables, refer to the help for your shell.



I would be interested in reports on various platforms, or any problems that
arise from the use of this library/utility.
