I have successfully used the STEVAL-EVK-U0l with Windows where I connect the USB cable to my Windows device and interact with it via the free software provided ST, this software being called STSW-IMG501.
I would like to start developing some algorithms on the PC, using the Eval board and USB connection. These algorithms are OpenCV based and would initially be written in Python. Since OpenCV and Python work well with webcam type streaming devices and the STSW-IMG501 has a streaming output window, it seems that it should be straightforward to connect that stream as a webcam in Windows. However, there does not seem to be a simple way to do this, hence my query. I have tried querying all Webcams in Python both when the EVAL board is connected to the eval software and when not, but neither scenario offers up the device as a webcam.
So my question is, can I set up the STEVAL_EVK-U0l to be a webcam on windows, and if so, how?
For completeness, I will ultimately take those algorithms, port them to C and implement them on an embedded device (specific device and OS still TBD). The camera that is on the EVAL device is identified as VD56G3.
Thank you for any and all help!
