## Installation

Get Started on Fedora

Tested on Fedora 23. - Extract firmware file as described in Firmware extraction

• Become root sudo su -
• Install packages kernel-devel (if you installed the Wireless Card driver, you likely already have it): dnf install kernel-devel
• Clone the driver's code: git clone https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie.git
• Change into directory: cd bcwc_pcie
• Build the kernel module: make
• Install the kernel module: make install
• Run depmod
• Load the module: modprobe facetimehd
• Check if all relevant modules are loaded: lsmod | grep facetimehd

Everything should load fine. Check with command dmesg, the main driver should have loaded and ignore the error about the missing .dat file in the firmware directory (these are the calibration files, we do not have them yet).

Time for testing: launch Cheese and enjoy your own smily face :-)

To load the module in Fedora during startup

cd /etc/modules-load.d
echo "facetimehd" > facetimehd.conf

If you screw up

Go to the folder containing facetimehd.ko adn try:

modprobe v4l2-common
modprobe videobuf2-dma-sg
modprobe videobuf2-core
rmmod facetimehd
modprobe -r bdc_pci
insmod ./facetimehd.ko dyndbg==pmf
dmesg
