This is not a driver for grabbing live video streams. The eXcite platform using it is a smart camera running linux, and the driver is for a very special piece of hardware designed into this camera. Its purpose is grabbing single image frames for processing within the camera itself, which is quite different from what the v4l2 API has been designed for.
