Hikey USB Camera Low FPS

Products Support HiKey
#1

I recompile v4.4 kernel with

CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_MEDIA_CAMERA_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2=y
CONFIG_MEDIA_USB_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS=y
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS_INPUT_EVDEV=y
CONFIG_USB_GSPCA=y
CONFIG_USB_PWC=y
CONFIG_USB_PWC_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_USB_PWC_INPUT_EVDEV=y

and connect my usb camera using a OTG line, then get this

Nov 18 07:59:06 sdcard kernel: usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using dwc2
Nov 18 07:59:06 sdcard kernel: hub 1-1:1.0: USB hub found

I get the webcam display by excute mplayer tv:// and the transfer speed seems to be very low, the fps is 4 and sometimes is 1.

I got the same low FPS via USB camera. I think it should be the driver problem in the source code.

Hi, I want to use USB_CAM in my hikey960 board. I config the kernel as you say, but I can’t use it. I don’t know what the problem is.
I connect usb camera using one of usb 3.0 ports. I can see video0 in /dev by adb, but no video in /dev. and I can see the message using dmesg | grep Cam

Can you explain what you mean by “I can see video0 in /dev by adb, but no video in /dev”?

#6

when I connected the usb camera using one of usb 3.0 ports, video0 can be seen in /dev/ of board; When unconnected the camera, there is not video0 in /dev/. Someone in internet say that there should be /dev/video and /dev/video0 in regularly.

Can we use USB camera on hikey960 with Android OS?When I refer AOSP for hikey960 and could not find Camera HAL .
Please help me if anyone tested this scenario.
