Loading the BitFlow Module
===============================

To load a BitFlow Frame Grabber device driver module:

   #. Load the required videodev module from the v4l2 drivers:

        .. code-block:: console

                $ sudo modprobe videodev

   #. Change directory to the directory containing the appropriate bitflow.ko

        .. code-block:: console

                $ cd /bitflow/driver/drv

   #. Load the bitflow.ko module

        .. code-block:: console

                $ sudo insmod bitflow.ko

The v4l2 kernel module will assign a device file, **/dev/videoN**, for each BitFlow VFG installed.

The files **/proc/bitflowN** will display the v4l_index for "N", the associated **/dev/videoN** file of each installed VFG.

To remove the BitFlow frame grabber device driver:

    .. code-block:: console

        $ sudo rmmod bitflow
