Peripherals tested with Gumstix Overo COMs

New page

__FORCETOC__

==Introduction==

This page contains information about USB devices that have been tested by users on various Gumstix platforms.

Any community information regarding functioning (and non-functioning) USB devices can be added to this page.

==Webcams==

===Overview===

The Gumstix Mailing List received an email from mbelge with some great information about USB cameras that were tested at different resolutions.

The tests were done using a Tobi Expansion Board powered by an Overo FireSTORM COM running on Steve Sakoman's GNOME Linux Image. Both the USB Host port and USB OTG port were used in the tests, the latter by way of a powered Belkin USB hub (USB ID: 05e3:0608). MPlayer was the capture utility, using the following command:
$ mplayer tv:// -tv device=/dev/[[#Device Enumeration|video7]]:width=<width>:height=>height

===Device Enumeration===

All cameras consistently enumerated as video7, except the Gigaware 25157 Webcam with Microphone, which demonstrated erratic enumeration, sometimes enumerated as video7, sometimes as video0 and other times failing altogether.
