hi,
what are the different cameras available for beagle board .for
which we are provided drivers with.please mention us with the
information of the camera specification also.
thanking you.
Only USB cameras are supported on the Beagle. The camera interface is not exposed.
Gerald
When I connect a USB camera, it does not seem to be working.
Where do I look to troubleshoot? dmesg? What messages should I look
for there?
thanks in advance.
dmesg | tail -- will list what was detected when the webcam is
plugged in.
lsusb -- should show the device id and description if it was
picked up.
lsmod -- should show the modules associated with the device.
if it is a UVC model camera you may need to load the uvcdriver
modprobe uvcvideo --- unplug then replug the webcam and look again
using the above.
I believe uvcvideo comes with kernel-module-uvcvideo
look for something similar:

How do I know if this camera is working?
Gerald,
What would it take to expose the camera interface? Will that be
enabled in the next version of the beagleboard? Considering that omap
is such a powerful camera platform (including nice dsp's) the omission
of serial camera support is a serious hindrance.
If not on the upcoming 3730 version, how about omap 4 bb?
The 3730 version coming out in Q2 of next year will have a camera connector on it…
Gerald
Is there a way to capture picture from Angstrom on Beagleboard and see
if the camera is working?
what program could be used for that?
