Readme

libuvc

is a cross-platform library for USB video devices, built atop

libusb

. It enables fine-grained control over USB video devices exporting the standard USB Video Class (UVC) interface, enabling developers to write drivers for previously unsupported devices, or just access UVC devices in a generic fashion.

Getting and Building libuvc

Prerequisites: You will need

libusb

and CMake installed.

To build, you can just run these shell commands:

git clone https://github.com/libuvc/libuvc
cd libuvc
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make && sudo make install

and you're set! If you want to change the build configuration, you can edit

CMakeCache.txt

in the build directory, or use a CMake GUI to make the desired changes.

There is also

BUILD_EXAMPLE

and

BUILD_TEST

options to enable the compilation of

example

and

uvc_test

programs. To use them, replace the

cmake ..

command above with

cmake .. -DBUILD_TEST=ON -DBUILD_EXAMPLE=ON

. Then you can start them with

./example

and

./uvc_test

respectively. Note that you need OpenCV to build the later (for displaying image).

Developing with libuvc

The documentation for

libuvc

can currently be found at https://int80k.com/libuvc/doc/.

Happy hacking!
