Notes: The driver works perfectly, except the video decompression, which is not implemented at all, since the manufacturer didn’t provide the datasheets about the compression engine.
SONiX didn’t provide enough detailed datasheets about the video data format and compression engine. However, a driver exists in recent kernels. The manufacturer never collaborated with the author during its development.
