Hi,
We are a startup company located in New York. We are currently investigating whether the GadgetPC SBC will be appropriate for one of our ventures.
We have downloaded the latest Ubuntu VM (May 31st 2010) and built the 2.6.30 kernel for the GadgetPC which works fine. Along the way we found out that all besides one of our UVC supported cameras had issues so we decided to re-build the kernel. The kernel of our choice was 2.6.27 (available in the Ubuntu VM) due to alleged issues with UVC cameras on 2.6.30. The kernel builds fine (support for PPP, sierra, UVC, V4L as kernel modules) but when we boot into it the device hangs on "Starting kernel......."
We have purchased 6 UVC cameras (looked on the UVC linux compliant list at Berlios) and only one of them works but the resolution of that camera is not what we want. All those cameras work properly on Ubuntu 9.04+ but not on our Debian ARMEL distro.
All we need to proceed with our investigation is to be able to take high resolution images from a webcam (1.3MP+). Any suggestions please?
The issue with most of the cameras on Debian ARMEL is "No valid video chain found".
