External Camara on Dragonboard 410c Andriod Compatibility

By edusoft on Wed, 11/21/2018 - 17:08

HI! Since some weeks ago, I want to test the new "External Camera" feature of the Vuforia 7.5 release, but I have some problems.

According the External Cameras Requirements, (https://library.vuforia.com/content/vuforia-library/en/articles/Solution/uvc-camera-driver.html)

I need an Dragonboard with Android >=6.

I bought a 410C dragonboard from USA especially to test this functionality, and I downloaded the latest version of Andriod available for this board. Unfortunately it's last release a few years ago is Version 5.0.1.

No news about new releases of android images. I did some post on Dragonboard forum, and I received answer me that the way to update to a new andriod is a build a customer version by AOSP

but It doesn't work now according other user posts and slack forum discussion.

After this long summary, (sorry, for that). The question are:

How you did you test de External Camera feature in a Dragonboard 410C without Andriod 6? :)

Is UVC Camara Driver (based on Vuforia Engine Driver Framework) compatible with Andriod 5.0.1 or linaro linux or Windows IoT for Dragonboard?

Thanks in Advanced.

Hello,

We don't believe there is anything in the Vuforia Engine that would not work on Android 5. The question is whether UVC supports it, which you could test with FileDriver first to confirm that works.

Thanks,
