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.

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

@rsr4z Check out voxl-configure-uvc and it's options

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

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

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?

tom

@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
