I'm trying to write a camera driver but having problems. I found a camera driver on the web and compiled it but when I try decoding the .raw file, using dcraw, I get a cannot decode error. I'm not sure if the camera is writing the file in a format dcraw reads or I am using dcraw properly. Here is the camera code. Can someone compile and test it please? Thanks.

what kind of " raw" is it?????
is it a image?
if so what are the dimensions and the image depth ?
8 bit ?
16 bit unsigned ?
32 bit float ?
64 bit double ?
or
a CSV text raw ?
