webcam driver installation in icicle-kit

[pratap635]

I'm trying to install drivers and webcam application in icicle-kit but getting "command not found" error for most of the commands. Is it possible to install drivers and applications on board?

Can I interface webcam to USB OTG port of icicle-kit ? this USB OTG is used for image flash on eMMC memory.

Hi @pratap635

Please check out the Working with PolarFire SoC USB Linux driver documentation for this, there is a dedicated section on working with webcams.

For webcam interface we need to include packages in yocto image , how to include packages using windows 10

The best recommendation we have for doing a Linux build from a Windows host is using a Linux virtual machine. You could either transfer the Yocto .wic file to the Windows host and program from there or pass through the USB and program directly from the virtual machine.

I don't think Yocto is fully supported by WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and this isn't something we regularly test.

The best option for building Linux is from a Linux host PC.
