  • Hi Marut,

    It is a very good attempt to port the ubuntu OS on OMAPl138 LCDK.

    But I think,  this was not yet attempted by TI members. As a bench mark, the Davinci PSP linux of kernel version 3.3.0 is been ported on OMAPl138 LCDK and projected the performance results of its peripherals in the link given below. http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/DaVinci_PSP_03.22.00.06_Device_Driver_Features_and_Performance_Guide

    Please try and let us know how it goes. Please share your experience of this experiment which will be more useful for the community members too.

    USB camera can definetly be interfaced on OMAPL138. Please share us your difficulties in doing so.We will try to help you out. In your other post, I have metioned some sample projects in which openCV is used.Did you have a chance to look at that project and understand how open cv libraries are included? Did you give it a shot including those in your project? What are the challenges faced in including opencv in linux based environment?

    Regards, 

    Shankari

  • Hi,

    If you want to run c application in ARM platform then You have to cross compile your c application and you can run the cross compiled binary on your board.

    First, try hello world program then go for opencv app.
