Hi, I am running Qtopia OS on my FriendlyARM system and trying to integrate a Logitech C310 USB HDCam with it. I connected it the camera with the board but the USB Camera application in Qtopia is not detecting the camera. What could be the reason? What kind of cameras can be integrated with FriendlyARM Qtopia? I would like a HD cam for clearer images. Thanks.
Both mini2410 and mini6410 have USB1.1 host. Most camera chipsets after detecting USB1.1 - limit their resolution. Don't be suprised if 320x240 will be your maximum resolution, even for still images. Some camera chipsets already have jpeg compression, but if the driver doesn't support setting quality - you will get heavly compressed 640x480 pictures. Check, if plugging camera to USB port is detected by system. dmesg should give something like "uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device..."
Thanks for the reply Tomasz. Chuck the HD part for now. My main priority is to get a camera working. I have two cams here with me. Connected both of them, started the USB Camera application and the following happens- Cam1 (non-HD)- "Cannot set video format" Cam2 (HD) - The application works, but shows a black screen without any display. And when I take a snap, it says - "Unable to load image". What to do? :(
