    How to make UVC Server running on VOXL for testing USB Camera? Can someone help me in running uvc server running?

    I even tried running using systemctl to start uvc server.

    Capture.PNG

    configuration file:
    /**

    • This file contains configuration that's specific to voxl-uvc-server.
    • parameter descriptions:
    • width: Desired image width. (e.g. 640)
    • Default is 640.
    • height: Desired image height. (e.g. 480)
    • Default is 480.
    • height: Desired frame rate in fps (e.g. 15).
    • Default is 30.
    • pipe-name: Desired MPA pipe name in /run/mpa (e.g. webcam).
    • Default is uvc.

    */
    {
    "pipe_name": "uvc",
    "width": 640,
    "height": 512,
    "fps": 30,
    }

    I am sure my usb camera is connected and I can see the device
    voxl:~$ show-video-device-info.sh
    /dev/video2: Boson 09cb:4007

        @tom I see following message when I run voxl-configure-uvc

        Capture1.PNG

        Since, I am using Boson, I tried voxl-configure-uvc boson and rebooted VOXL.

        Capture2.PNG

        Upon running voxl-inspect-services, I am still not seeing voxl-uvc-server running.

          @rsr4z What does /etc/modalai/voxl-uvc-server.conf look like? It is weird that sed is failing I'll try to replicate.

          It appears you're using an unreleased SDK, how did you install that SDK?

            @rsr4z There appears to be an extra comma after 30 in "fps": 30, , that will need to be removed. It's possible this is a bug in the config script.

            You can run systemctl status voxl-uvc-server to see the status of the service if it is showing as "Not running"

              @tom Yes. I removed "," from the config file and it worked. Thanks
