I apparently have to enable the uvc driver after each restart, but I still don’t get anything when from the ls /dev/video* command. I ran sudo modprobe –v uvcvideo, then I ran the dmesg|tail command again, and this time I got 2 additional lines 1) usbcore registered new interface driver uvcvideo 2) USB video class driver. When I run the dmesg|tail command, none of the entries mentioned anything about video or the UVC driver. This seems to be what VLC is looking for, so it doesn’t see the webcam.

However, when I run the ls /dev/video* command, I get “ls: cannot access /dev/video*: No such file or directory”. The lsusb command returns “Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0460:0826 Logitech Inc” whenever I have the webcam plugged in so I know the camera is being recognized. The webcam, keyboard, and mouse are connected to a powered USB hub. The Beaglebone is being powered by 5 volts via the barrel connector and a power supply. I am booting off of a 16GB micro SD card. I have installed LXDE so I have a desktop, and VLC to check the functionality of the webcam. I am running Debian 7 (wheezy) with Linux Kernel 3.8.13-bone37. I have a Logitech C525 HD webcam, which is on the list of supported webcams ( ).

I have tried to follow several tutorials online, but none of them have worked, because I cannot get the webcam to work. I am extremely new to Linux, but I have recently purchased a Beaglebone Black, and I am trying to set up a webcam server on it. Sorry for the long message, but I want to include all the details I thought were necessary.
