On this page, you will find some information to add some USB webcams support to your Armadeus board.

== Introduction ==
Some USB webcams are working on Linux with the [ UVC driver (USB Video Class)]. The source of this driver is included in the current Armadeus Linux kernel.

== Install driver ==

* UVC driver is not selected by default in the Armadeus Linux kernel, you will need to use the following procedure to install it:
<pre class="host">
$ cd armadeus/
$ make linux26-menuconfig
</pre>
* Then you need to choose the right driver:
<pre class="config">
Device Drivers --->
Multimedia devices --->
[*] Video capture adapters --->
[*] V4L USB devices --->
<M> USB Video Class (UVC)
[*] UVC input events device support
</pre>
* Now you can build the kernel and then update your board (kernel & rootfs):
<pre class="host">
$ make
</pre>

== Using driver ==

* Load the driver using modprobe:
<pre class="apf">
# modprobe uvcvideo
</pre>

* Plug in your camera; as you can see, your device is now recognized:

<pre class="apf">
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using mxc-ehci and address 2
usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=08b2
usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0
usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
pwc: Logitech QuickCam 4000 Pro USB webcam detected.
pwc: Registered as /dev/video0.
</pre>

* To access your webcam, you can now use ''/dev/video0'' with a [[Video for Linux|V4L (Video for Linux)]] compatible application.
