Re: PCDuino!! Talk about potential

So, a little progress to report.

Considering so much of this is very new to me: Linux, Ubuntu (Lubuntu), OpenCV, Python etc., I am making progress.

The first thing I need to do is figure out how to run this system entirely from a bootable uSD. The storage onboard just isn't quite enough to do everything I need.

I have the board running with UVC and can validate the USB Video Camera is working.
I have installed OpenCV, but not the latest version. Hopefully those libraries will be available soon. I could always build it myself from source, but I really am not comfortable, let alone knowledgeable, with that process. Again, I need more storage space to do this properly.

I need to install a Python IDE, but I am already at 82% used space onboard, so I am really tight on space for additional software. Again, see the "first thing I need to do".

There are lots of examples available to see how others are doing this on RPi, BeagleBones, MK802/MK808 etc. But without having access to the tools and knowledge I need yet, I am struggling a bit. Any advice is welcome!!!
