Some issues with video capturing in beagleboard using logitech webcam pro 9000.

Pramod Poudel

Hi,

I have a REV4 beagleboard and Logitech webcam pro 9000. I have Angstrom 2.6.32 kernel. When I connect connect my webcam to the beagleboard, it is detected easily and I can capture some frames too. However I end up with some error message on the console window as follows. Can you suggest me some good webcams that has been reported to work seamlessly with beagleboard.

When I try to capture frame continiously, their is some flickering on the displayed images periodically. Also I can see some error message on the console as below.

You may want to look at the P/N number on the tag on the usb cord. What I know is some pro9000 are UVC compliant, and some are not.

860-000107, 109, and 210 work on omap3evm with 2.6.32 kernel from my experience.

You can get more UVC compliance info from http://linux-uvc.berlios.de

Hi Liu,

Thanks for the reply. Mine is 860-000210. I am able to capture frames but still I can see errors as I mentioned on my last post. Also there is some image flickering periodically if I capture and display the frames continually.

Thanks,

Pramod

I too have the exact same issue but I am running on a OMAP EVAL board from MISTRAL. Im running kernel 2.6.32 and using a logitech pro 9000

Has anybody found a solution to this?

Regads,

Has any one find a solution to this problem with OpenCV. I have several Logitech cameras and I can't set most of the properties to the capture device. I have this issue even with a Core 2 Duo processor on my laptop.
