One thing that appears to be an issue right now is that the Lubuntu version that came with the PCDuino does not contain libUVC.
Being a total noob, I have no clue, yet, how to address this.

Any clue how I would add this module/library to Lubuntu so that the board will recognize and work with a webcam?
UVC is and interface for USB webcams from vendors like Logitech among others. You can install the package using "sudo apt-get install luvcview". That's a video capture framework. It may not be everything you need, but is't a start. You can likely find more info at this link:

Lubuntu is derived from this distro.

HTH,
