Hi,

Your keyboard seems to be broken because the capslock is stuck. Maybe that is related to your webcam problems?

Beside that social points, I've two boards working with that cam (C2,C4) with different kernels (2.6.29, 2.6.32) and I am using ångström (created with oe). If you use libwebcam, you can control the camera quite easy (focus, shutter, gain, leds...). Furthermore, you can access the camera data through v4l2 if you want to do raw image processing. If you only need a stream for the browser or vlc, you can use mjpg-streamer to do that embarrassingly easy.

HI Sascha,

while we are here, do you have by the chance the oe bb file for the
libwebcam and associated utility. I could compile it natively on the
device, but having bb file would be much easier. Or me is being blind
cause I could not find it in the recepies.

Thanks,
Maksym

Maksym, I don't have a recipe, but you can write a toolchain file for cmake. When you have this you can run cmake and make to get the library. Maybe that can be included into oe, but I had not enough time to get used to that (I should, it would make it easier). You're right, the easiest way is to install a compiler directly on bb and compile it natively.

The attached toolchain file is working for me - fix the paths. You need to build libxml2 before. If you want to compile mjpg-streamer, you only have to modify the makefiles to compile against the right libs and to use the proper compiler.
