New page

== Introduction ==

{{Under_Construction}}

This article will show you how to get the Kinect driver, released by the project [http://www.openkinect.org OpenKinect], to run on the APF51 board. The end goal of this page will be a system where the Kinect dumps RGB and depth images to a folder on the device. The images will be in ppm and pgm format and can be viewed on a host PC in GIMP.

I'm pretty new to the Armadeus project association, so if I'm repeating information listed elsewhere or not following the general layout, I apologize on beforehand.

== Installing required components ==

The driver requires the libusb component to be installed on the APF51, luckily this component doesn't need to be cross-compiled but can be installed together with the Linux file system on the board.

On your host-pc go to

== Syntax for editing ==

Command on APF
<pre class="apf">
# modprobe mx27_camera
</pre>

Command on host
<pre class="host">
sudo apt-get install gcj-jdk
</pre>
