Hi guys,
I have been playing around with the board for a couple days, but I seem to be having some trouble and unable to find a solution to my problem. I am intending to run a pair of USB cameras on the board, but I can only seem to get one to connect at a time. I remember somebody a while back having a similar issue and was wondering if there was anything I was missing in order to run both cameras properly.
Edit: I am running this on the Debian image. Not the Android image
It seems to work for me. I plugged 2 USB camera, here is the kernel output:

ANd then I could run these 2 commands at the same time.
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! glimagesink
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! glimagesink
What errors do you have?
I have also run two cameras on a dragonboard.
I found that guvcview program tended to mix up the devices sometimes. Didn’t impact me as I use the ffmpeg to process the video streams…
Apologies for the delayed response. I was away from my computer. I was able to play around a bit and I think I have more information. My device recognizes my camera properly, thank you @ndec for the debugging info, but now I am having a different problem. I am using python opencv to merge the two streams together. I have two webcams that are only capable of outputting YUYA format video. Both cameras are recognized by the device, but I am continuously getting the error:
lubv4l2: error turning on stream: No space left on device
After looking into it I saw that it may be due to usb bandwidth, so I plugged one webcam into one of the usb ports on the device and the other into a usb hub connected to the other port, but I am still getting the same error. Is there possibly something else I am missing here
It could be that trying to run both cameras at high resolution is a problem.
Maybe check the setting of the each camera using v4l-ctl and try turning the resolution (and/or frame rate) down
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-formats
(I have run two usb cameras on a Dragonboard and merged streams using ffmpeg - for a stereo vision project)
Alright, this is what I have. I ran: v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 --list-formats-ext

Hi,
I would like to know if accessing of both camera streams parallel if possible even on Android?
I hope it should be possible since Its working in Linux.
