Hello,
I have an Easycap video capture device that I would like to get working on my S5. I'm running CM12, and from what I can tell, there is a kernel module for the Easycap with USB ID 05e1:0408, but not for my variant.
I did find what appears to be a linux driver for the Somagic variant, though. Can this be used on android? Are there other options for getting the kernel module to work for my variant?
Thanks!

I need to use usb microscope (which use general linux UVC driver on my natty ubuntu) on a500 to capture magnified image for my daily work.
However, I couldn't get it to work in every possible camera app that I could try. (After i plugged in then dmesg, it shows that UVC 1.0 device USB2.0 camera (1871:7670) found.)
After reading on many forum for a week, i have been convinced that I should try compiling my own driver first. It should work fine with default android camera app. The only place I that seems to be able to use external usb camera on their device is advent vega at Modaco.
I also found a good step by step in building UVC driver module for arm based device such as android here. But I have very limited linux knowledge so I couldn't apply it to my need.
Can someone please enlighten me by providing steps for a complete noob, like me to be able to build my own driver?
Information on the UVC driver sources can be found here at linuxtv.org.
I'm currently using richardtrip kernel which can be found here.
I would also be interested in a UVC driver for android!
HI,
I am trying to interface the UVC Camera to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1(GT-7510) , but I am not able to see the device node getting created in the shell( I have installed the Linux terminal Shell Application) and rooted the device using this Video .Can somebody plz tell/advice how I can achieve it and access the device Node or at-least get it created.
Following is the log on dmesg :
usb 1-1 new high speed USB device using tegra-ehci and address 97
hub 1-0:1.0 unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 ,
usb 1-1:device v0ac8 p3420 is not supported
On My Laptop I get this output on Dmesg :
[12307.364237] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Venus USB2.0 Camera (0ac8:3420)
[12307.366108] input: Venus USB2.0 Camera as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1:1.0/input/input14
[12308.537059] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio
also i can see the camera getting blinked on connection which proves that it is getting the power-supply and getting connected with the system.
I think there is a support for UVC USB devices in the kernel (not sure) otherwise I am ready with the Kernel For Samsung Tab 10.1 (GT-7500 (Higher Version: GT-7510)) from here .(GT-P7500_MEA_Opensource.zip (requires Login).
Plz assist.

You seem to know a bit about what you're doing. I'm not really familiar with this device. I did a search and did not find anyone who has don't this yet. The first priority is to get a Linux device in /dev/ folder. This is generally handled by a device driver and a udev rule. Try the newer kernel if you can. The android 4.0 ics has a Linux 3.x kernel. See if switching to ics helps. Try compiling a custom kernel with all modules. Once you have a device, try using SSH or sftp from your desktop under Linux to stream from that device with vlc or another media player.
Do you have any examples of this device in use on mobile Linux? It may require writing an entire kernel driver.
HI,
Yes that is the same line of thinking for us as well.We are trying to compile the kernel and load it .- Ongoing
I believe only the zImage is the one which is to be flashed.But I am little scared to do this.Couldn't find the instructions to loading the Zimage even though I can compile one.

Flash it with Heimdall, even if it won't work you will be still able to get into download mode of bootloader (which you aren't supposed to flash) and reflash the kernel with stock one.
Hi,
I have just picked up a Note 3 on Three UK.
Am I right in assuming that the wireless chipset BCM4339 which is the same as on the Nexus 5 is still not able to use bcmon mode to allow us to enable monitor mode?
Would a specific ROM be necessary to allow a TP-Link WN722n (RT2800usb) to work on OTG cable?
I have tried both bcmon on my note 3 and also my TP-Link via USB OTG cable and neither have had any results.
Thanks
Toby
I've installed USB Host Check to confirm that USB host support is enabled on my note 3.
(android.hardware.usb.host.xml OK)
(handheld_core_hardware.xml OK)
I then installed USB Host Controller.
Both devices recognised but obviously not working. (Atheros USB 2.0 WLAN for TP-WN772n) and (ASIX Elec Corp AX88x72A) for USB ethernet.
When I run USB Host Controller I get the following error message:
"s3c usb host driver not found".
Another member on XDA posted a link to the Halaszk Kernel on the N9000 apparantly having OTG USB host support for S3C

I'm still hitting a brick wall on this one search wise.
Would stil love to be able to use my WN722N on my Note 3.
Has anyone any experience in modifying the Kernel Module to allow the ath9k to work on Note 3?
Getting a wireless adapter to work on Ubuntu or any form of Linux can be difficult if the manufacturer doesn't provide direct driver support or at the very least a "Tar" which would allow an end user (with sufficient skill) to compile the drivers them self. My understanding of this is limited but from what I can remember Android is JavaScript VM running on a Linux kernel. So you need the Linux source code for the driver which usually comes in a "Tar". Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
Hello everybody out there.
I am trying to add support for the AR9271 USB WiFi device in the CM11 release kernel on my i9507. I've managed to compile the kernel with ath9k and mac80211 (dependency) baked in instead of as modules. I believe this would skip the need to load and unload modules to get the card working. I booted successfully and plugged in my adapter with an OTG cable, but upon ifconfiging and whatnot, I could not find the adapter at all. I tried using Pcap Capture by Kismet, and that reported no connected USB NICs.
I'm losing sleep . What am I doing wrong? Does anybody have an idea? I can release my build of kernel with ath9k support if anyone wants it, although I guess anyone who answers this probably doesn't need it anyway ._.
Thanks guys.
EDIT:
Apparently Kismet Pcap only works with that one Realtek chipset in the Alfa, so that's out the window.
Anyway, I have installed the firmware file (htc_9271.fw) to /system/etc/firmware and the device shows up with lsusb with ID 13d3:3327, so it's being recognized, but the kernel still takes one look at it, laughs, and dies.
Here is the dmesg output:
<6>[14516.472685] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=13d3, idProduct=3327
<6>[14516.472716] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=16, Product=32, SerialNumber=48
<6>[14516.472747] usb 2-1: Product: UB93
<6>[14516.472747] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: ATHEROS
<6>[14516.472777] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: 12345
It seems like the kernel just derps and doesn't load the ath9k_htc stuff it's supposed to. I do remember that when I compiled the kernel, I got errors compiling the ath9k modules. I found no patches for this problem, so I took the ath folder from the linux kernel backports (compat-wireless) and plopped it in the CM kernel drivers folder, replacing the old one. Worst way to merge code, I know. The kernel compiles fine, but according to dmesg, the drivers either aren't there, or aren't doing anything.
Hello friends. Is there a way of installing uvc driver for our phones so that it can be used for fpv. The otg does work with memory sticks and all but cannot recognize the connected video receiver. It says I have to install the uvc driver. I tried and failed. Any help?
