Interfacing eCos with a USB webcam

Started by Uddo Graaf ●March 28, 2004

I want to do some vision recogition experiments using an ordinary USB webcam
(640x480pixels should be more than sufficient) on eCos. Obviously, there are
no drivers for eCos so I'll have to write my own. Does anyone know if there
are USB webcams out there for which the transmitted USB packets are
documented?

Look at the drivers in V4L. Personally I have found the STV0680-based
cameras moderately easy to work with.
