Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530, TLV320AIC23B, TVP5150, THS7303, OMAPL138

i have CM-t3530 from compulab, based on omap3530 processor - it supports linux kernel 2.6.32. It also has a small display unit attached to the system. i want to capture video from the logitech quickcam messenger usb and display it on the screen. How shall i achieve this. I compiled a new kernel with logitech quickcam messenger drivers, but it had (deprecated) written with it.how shall i test whether my driver is installed in the kernel. mplayer doesnt work on my kit.

is there any other ready to use player for arm linux. if not, which one is the best and how to compile it for my kit.

warm regards.

    you can connect the usb camera to either EHCI port (standard usb receptacle as on PC) or to OTG port (required mini-A plug to sta-A receptacle cable) and then use mplayer to capture and display on LCD using below command.

    ./mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=320:height=240:device=/dev/video0

    thnx ajay,

    i have angstrom linux image installed over kernel 2.6.32. the icon of mplayer doesnt do anything. when i contacted the compulab's tech support they said it's angstrom demo version and mplayer wont play any video. So now i have to compile the mplayer for my arm kit.

     

    what you told i tried it. It gives the following

    playing tv://

    Anmol,

    You config related to VIDEO looks fine. I am not sure if " logitech quickcam messenger" iS UVC compliant. As per logitech site , this camera needs seprate driver and so that point that its not UVC compliant and need it's own driver.

    Have you compiled correct logitech driver with kernel  and Does kernel makes /dev/vedeoX node for your camera when attached?

    Regards,

    Ajay

    Hi Ajay,

    We have OMAPL138 platform, I would like to interface my “Logitech USB WEBCAM” to my processor USB port. Will this Camera preview can see on my LCD. Is it supports my processor.

    Under drivers there is default Logitech qickcam driver available.

    Please help me how this can be done, how the platform driver can add in the main board.

    Thanks
