Hello Grayver. Actually, USB cameras on the BBB are not something that I
have any experience with. I do have support for V4L2 enabled in the kernel,
and I have enabled USB camera support in the device/ti/BoardConfig.mk file
for the Android build. But, I haven't given it a try to see how well it
works. You may very well have the camera working, but without OpenGL ES to
scale the captured video to the full screen size, it may not actually work
in any standard camera app. If you have a USB camera that is known to work
under Linux, you can give it a try and see how well it works out for you.
My general rule is that if some device is supported under a Linux system
with the 3.8 kernel on the BBB then it is supported under BBBAndroid with
the 3.8 kernel. That doesn't mean that the Android apps will always play
nice with your hardware, but the userspace interface to the device that is
exposed by the kernel will be the same under Linux as it is under Android.
One of these days, I'm going to have to work with a USB camera under
Android. But, until then, I can't give you any concrete recommendations.
Sorry. Your best bet is to check out what cameras people are using with
OpenCV and then stick with one of those. If you need special modules loaded
for a particular camera, you can place an "insmod" for the module or
modules inside of the init.{ro.hardware}.rc file in the root file system of
the BBBAndroid image.
