Connect the camera module (8-bit data interface) to STOUT (CN6: VIN0_camera I/F 34pin) and restart YOCTO.

After boot the following messages could be find:

Video can be captured with the tool avconv:

Example 1 (capture and store a MJPEG video):

avconv -f video4linux2 -pix_fmt yuv422p -s 1280x720 -r 25 -i /dev/video0 -c:v mjpeg result.mov

Example 2 (capture and stream as H264 or MPEG2 video):

avconv -f video4linux2 -pix_fmt yuv422p -s 1280x720 -r 25 -i /dev/video0 -c:v libx264 -f mpegts udp://192.168.0.16:6000
avconv -f video4linux2 -pix_fmt yuv422p -s 1280x720 -r 25 -i /dev/video0 -vcodec mpeg2video -r 25 -f rtp rtp://192.168.0.16:1234

Example 3 (capture one frame and store as picture):

./capture -d /dev/video0 -f -o -c 1 > video_1f.uyvy
convert -size 1280x720 -depth 16 -sampling-factor 4:2:2 ./Desktop/video_1f.uyvy ./Desktop/video_1f.png

./capture -d /dev/video0 -f -o -c 10000 > file.img

On STOUT the nano WLAN module (EW-7811Un) with Chip Set Realtek RTL818x can be embedded.

The kernel has to be prepared for readyForModuleRTL8192CU.

Load the module wlan.ko and start the interface by
insmod wlan.ko
ifconfig wlan0 up
</code> Where wlan0 is the name of your wireless device (this is most often the default). The above command will bring your wireless device up so it is ready to use. ifconfig shows your devices already:

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 80:1F:02:F1:DF:A9  
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:2 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

The next phase is to scan for any wireless access points with the command
iwlist wlan0 scan
From the output of the scan you should see a line (or lines) like:

wlan0     Scan completed :
          Cell 01 - Address: 28:37:37:48:EF:2C
                    ESSID:"WLAN_RB"

                        Group Cipher : CCMP
                        Pairwise Ciphers (1) : CCMP
                        Authentication Suites (1) : PSK
                    Quality=78/100  Signal level=51/100  

For WPA-based networks you will need to spend some effort. Do the following:

1. Issue the command
wpa_passphrase SSID PASSWORD
(Where SSID is your network ID and PASSWORD is your wireless password). This will generate a psk string that you will use in the configuration file. Output is:

network={
	ssid="SSID"
	#psk="PASSWORD"
	psk=c2161655c6ba444d8df94cbbf4e9c5c4c61fc37702b9c66ed37aee1545a5a333
}

2. Edit the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file to reflect:

Network={ 
    ssid=SSID
    psk=PSK
}

Where SSID is the actual ID of your wireless network and PSK is the string generated by the wpa_passphrase command.

3. Run the wpa_supplicant daemon with the command:

wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -DWext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Where wlan0 is the name of your wireless interface.

4. Now make sure you are associated with your network with the command
ifconfig wlan0
(Where wlan0 is the name of your wireless interface).

5. Get an IP address with the command:
dhclient wlan0 (Where wlan0 is the name of your wireless interface).

You should now be on the wireless network. You can automate this by creating an entry in /etc/network/interfaces like this:

auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    post-down killall -q pa_supplicant

Where INTERFACE is the name of your wireless interface.
