The UVC Video Class Gadget Library or libguvc for short is a platform agnostic library that simplifies the development of UVC based gadget devices by encapsulating the most of the UVC communication leaving just the basic setup to the user. The USB video class gadget runs on top of the UVC function driver in the user space and takes care of the communication between the user application and the linux driver stack.
Release of libGUVC v1.4.0, is now supporting NVIDIA Jetson platform along with previously supported NXP-iMX6 family of processors, thanks to the new bulk transfer support.
It has never been easier to implement a UVC application on your hardware, libGUVC make it easy to interact with the UVC driver and expose a variety of useful features such as:
USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 support Isochronous and bulk endpoint support YUV2, MJPEG and H264 video streaming support Extension Unit support MMAP and UserPtr support.
Since the driver is agnostic to the platform, you can run it on almost any platform with quality USB and UVC drivers, making it really simple to convert it into a UVC capable device.
