Product details
Overview
STV-674/501C-R01 from STMicroelectronics is a tri-mode reference design board integrating the STV0674 digital camera signal processor and VV6501 VGA CMOS image sensor, supporting still capture, 30fps VGA video with synchronized audio, and native mass storage (NMS) mode presenting NAND flash as a removable USB disk drive at ~400KB/s write speed.
For engineers reviewing the STV-674/501C-R01 datasheet, STV-674/501C-R01 pinout, STV-674/501C-R01 application, or STV-674/501C-R01 equivalent, this RDK enables rapid validation of USB webcam functionality, embedded imaging firmware integration, and host-side DirectShow/DirectCap compatibility testing on Windows 98SE–XP platforms.
Technical Context
The STV-674/501C-R01 implements a complete USB 1.1-compliant composite device with three distinct operational modes: Camera Mode (still/video/audio capture), WebCam Mode (DirectShow driver support with real-time 640×480 @30fps video), and Native Mass Storage Mode (DOS-formatted NAND flash appearing as removable disk).
It integrates the STV0674 DSP for image processing, timing control, and USB interface management, paired with the VV6501 VGA CMOS sensor, and supports NMS read speeds up to ~500KB/s and AVI clip conversion via bundled AVICreate software.

FAQ
Is STV-674/501C-R01 a production-ready module or a development-only reference?
STV-674/501C-R01 is a reference design kit (RDK), not a production module. It provides schematics, BOM, and firmware examples to validate system architecture and enable custom board development - it lacks enclosure, certification, or volume-manufacturing optimizations.
Does this board support Linux or Android USB UVC drivers?
No. The STV-674/501C-R01 uses proprietary USB class descriptors and requires ST's Windows-specific DirectShow driver stack. It is not UVC-compliant and has no documented Linux or Android driver support.
What NAND flash type and capacity is used on the board?
The board uses a DOS-formatted NAND flash device supporting Native Mass Storage mode, but ST's documentation does not specify part number, density, or vendor - only aggregate performance (~400 KB/s write, ~500 KB/s read) and FAT16 formatting.
Can the STV0674 DSP be reprogrammed or updated in-circuit?
Yes. The STV0674 includes on-chip ROM boot loader and supports firmware updates via USB using ST-provided tools; the RDK includes example firmware images and programming instructions in the user manual.
