Thanks Jon. I have some thoughts on this proposed hardware solution:
* This camera will not be recognized as uvc usb device, unless you add it to the device list, no big deal i think. Your kernel is 3.3 but i think you or someone else already added it to uvc device list. (i may be wrong), * Orange PI ONE has only one USB, so you will need to access the device remotely, * Grabbing the video can be done with V4l2 as usual, * I tested here a usb Labtec gspca camera which is VGA JPEG 30 FPS, and its performance is about ~9 fps, that means USB camera tend to perform below specifications when not in Desktop, may be the usb bandwidth is a constraint, * Original OPI camera is $ 5.90 while the one you pointed is $ 8.52 plus some usb cable and may need some wiring/soldering, * Logitec is out of question, i cannot get one for less than $ 100.00. And considering spending $ 10.00 / 15.00 on a sbc board and another $ 100.00 is only viable if you don't want to mess with software. * No tinkering, no learning and no solution for the upcoming Allwinner new devices going this route. So, guys lets's get back to work, the fight is not over yet. @lex On Friday, March 11, 2016 at 8:49:42 PM UTC-3, Jon Smirl wrote: > > [33718.237465] usb 2-5.1: new high-speed USB device number 12 using > ehci-pci > [33718.782014] usb 2-5.1: new high-speed USB device number 13 using > ehci-pci > [33719.121687] usb 2-5.1: New USB device found, idVendor=18e3, > idProduct=5100 > [33719.121692] usb 2-5.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=1, > SerialNumber=3 > [33719.121696] usb 2-5.1: Product: USB 2.0 Camera > [33719.121698] usb 2-5.1: Manufacturer: Sonix Technology Co., Ltd. > [33719.121701] usb 2-5.1: SerialNumber: SN0001 > [33719.122631] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USB 2.0 Camera (18e3:5100) > [33719.146885] uvcvideo: Unable to create debugfs 2-13 directory. > [33719.147213] input: USB 2.0 Camera as > /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-5/2-5.1/2-5.1:1.0/input/input15 > jonsmirl@terra:/work/gm/linux-3.3-fa$ > > On Fri, Mar 11, 2016 at 6:26 PM, @lex <alex....@gmail.com <javascript:>> > wrote: > > Can you please tell me the idVendor and idProduct for this camera? > > > > > > On Friday, March 11, 2016 at 8:08:21 PM UTC-3, @lex wrote: > >> > >> Err...
