I'm struggling to plug my allwinner cam to use it as a USB webcam on linux.
This is the camera and its original firmware (attached).
When I switch the camera to its 'PC CAMERA' mode inside its menu (see picture), the camera briefly shows a camera logo (which I assume indicates it enters its usb mode) and returns to the menu. It won't stay the 'PC CAMERA'.
This is confirmed by 'dmesg':
I believe that the line worth noting are
and
Since the uvcvideo module seems to fail with the camera, I tried to manually load another module
but it doesn't seem to change anything.
My questions are:
- Is it common for some firmwares to be defective for usb-webcam support?
- What other firmware can I flash on my camera?
- What other module can I try on my linux box?
- Any other idea I could try?
