[ts-7000] Connecting Webcam on TS 7300

[shweta bhandari <>]

Hi,

 

I am trying to connect a USB webcam to TS 7300 board. The arm board has debian linux (kernel 2.4.26-ts11). I have got a couple of webcams (creative vf 0050, creative pd1100, logitech quickcam express pro 3000). I connected creative vf 0050 to the board and tried the following commands:

 

1. lsusb ? will list all the usb devices connected.

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 041e:4036 Creative Technology, Ltd Webcam Live

 

 

   2. lsmod (will list the already loaded modules)

:/# lsmod

Module                  Size   Used by    Not tainted

af_packet               9456     0

open_eth                4448     0         (unused)

usb-ohci               15360   0           [usb-ohci-ep93xx]

usbcore                55728   2            [hid usb-ohci]

pcipool                 1888    1             [usb-ohci-ep93xx usb-ohci]

ts7300fb                3496   63

fbcon-cfb16         3528     0          [ts7300fb]

fbgen                   2944     0            [ts7300fb]

sdcard0                 9840    1

 

2. Dmesg | more (to check if the module was loaded)

usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs

usb.c: registered new driver hub

usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xe0020000, IRQ 56

usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1

hub.c: USB hub found

hub.c: 3 ports detected

usb.c: registered new driver hid

.

.

.

.

hub.c: new USB device not_pci-3, assigned address 2

usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x41e/0x4036) is not claimed by any active driver

 

I also read that

Webcam drivers are usually available one of three ways: within the kernel, as a compilable stand alone module, or available as a pre-compiled (packaged) binary driver from your Linux distribution.

 

Now, I am not getting,  where to get a compatible stand alone module or a driver for the webcam?

 

how will I know that the webcam is working ?

 

what is the command to capture an image frm webcam?

 

How to save that image in www folder so that I can email the image ?(TS7300 has got a webserver running on it )

 

Any help/suggestions /comments  would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Shweta
