Hi all,

I would like to inquire about accessing the USB port from Java. How would one go about doing that?

My idea is to write a Linux kernel module to transport data from a coprocessor handling video camera data to the roboRIO via USB. Provided that I do this, how would I go about accessing said USB data from Java on the roboRIO?

PS: I want to use a coprocessor to handle video data because I want to run heavy openCV code to handle the camera feed. Despite the fact that the roboRIO is a dual-core processor, I am afraid of the 667 MHz clock rating being too slow to run the robot and the vision processing code without causing some hiccups.
