Description-en: tools for dealing with Apple iSight firmware
Apple Built-in iSight requires firmware that can be extracted from
the Mac OS X USBVideo driver. This package provides tools for extracting
the firmware from the driver and installing udev rules and tools to
automatically load the firmware when needed.

A convenient tool for converting firmware binaries to Intel HEX format
is also provided. This may be required later for use with a
generic firmware loader such as fxload.
