The AverMedia LGP Lite (GL310) is a cheap HDMI (with pass-through) to USB 2.0 capture card. The card only supports compressed output (afaik) which makes it slightly less useful but still very valuable when debugging graphical issues. The plan is to hook a few of these up to my test machines so I can stream the output to my workstation and integrate with the rest of my test setup. So far I've discovered that the card needs to be loaded with two firmwares. One for audio and one for video. Hopefully this will turn into a standard UVC device once the initial bootstrap is done fingers crossed.

Progress so far:
Gathered USB dumps with Wireshark from a QEMU Win 7 install. Got the following sequences:
- Power on (Includes firmware uploads)
- Start stream
- Stop stream
- Change settings (bitrate, etc)
Found the audio and video firmwares to be uploaded to the device on bootstrap.
Using radare2 to analyze the device drivers.
Looked at various parts of the Windows and OSX driver but still not able to find the init sequence. Drivers seems to include video encoding / decoding libraries which we don't need but makes the driver look scary and big.

Hi, while browsing the i,ternet i found you're the most advanced in a linux driver for this device. Since linux isnot supported by avermedia i'm interested in your project but have little to no programming skill. I'm here for self-educational purpose too. Any news for this project?
