You need to implement H.264 in v4l for uvc first if you want to use hd usb
webcams afaik.

 I greatly appreciate the work you do and have already done. thank you!
 
 what i might do is see about recompiling the kernel (eek, didn't plan to
 do that ;) ) and enable usb webcam support, I wonder if the gta04 might
 somehow cope with a hd webcam... hehe :D

Hi Alexander,

Am 31.12.2014 um 01:09 schrieb Alexander .S.T. Ross 
maillist_openm...@aross.me:

 is the optional camera fully supported now? according to the manual it
 isn’t. so what is it now?

The status is that it is supported by the 3.12.7 kernel, but not optimized (the 
position of the image is shifted).
The newer kernels (3.18) do not yet support the camera since the OMAP3 Image 
Processor (ISP) does not have
Device Tree support yet and the camera module driver has not been adjusted to 
recent kernel API changes.

So if you want to help to get it work on 3.19-rc you are very welcome to the 
gta04-kernel project [1].

BR and have a nice new year,
Nikolaus
