Hello,

I'm looking for some primers on using a board running the AT91SAM9260 chip and embedded linux with a webcam. The board has two USB host controllers, which allows the attachment of a regular USB Camera.

What I'm looking to do is to grab one frame per second from the webcam stream and store this on a SD Card for later retriveal.

However, I have no experience working with webcams nor the video streams from them, so I am hoping somebody could offer some advice as to go about this, or maybe direct me to books/articles on the subject.

I've done some research on running webcams in a Linux enviroment, and have come up with the Linux UVC Driver and the Spca5xx-Light Edition as drivers that could conceviably run in a embedded enviroment.

I've also more or less concluded that a JPG based webcam would offer and easier way to grap selected frames, altough I'm open to other ideas.

Hopefully somebody can chime in with some nuggets of wisdom, as I'm not really finding any good information regarding embedded linux and webcams, but that might just be my weak google-fu at work.

Thanks

Kris
