This branch currently requires a linux kernel patch to work. Available as another branch on the same repo. https://github.com/teknotus/depthview/tree/kernelpatchfmt
Prepatched Linux kernel available from Ubuntu 14.10 PPA
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:teknotus/rs-kernel-ppaThere is also a userspace driver that works with the camera that I hope to add support for soon.
