CMOS USB camera to Beagle Board?

GoogleGroups

Does anyone have any experience interfacing a CMOS USB camera (like
the Point Grey Firefly MV) to the Beagle Board? If that can be done,
then I wonder if I can access the DSP functionality of the OMAP 3530
this way? I need to store an image processing algorithm on the OMAP,
run the inputted digital images through the program, and output a
signal based on those calcs to my Cypress PSoC.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Hi Jim,

I tried using a Pt. Grey Firefly MV USB with the beagleboard, but I was
getting strange USB level errors, which I attribute to the USB
hardware/drivers on the OMAP3 platform. I haven't followed up any
further, but I would be curious about any progress you make.
