Troubleshooting

Configuring USBFS

By default, Linux limits image capture buffers (e.g. to 16MB). To set the memory limit to 1000MB, run the following commands:

1. Open the /etc/default/grub file in any text editor. Find and replace:

   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

   with this:

   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbcore.usbfs_memory_mb=1000"

2. Update grub with these settings:

   sudo update-grub

3. Reboot and test a USB 3.0 camera.

If this method fails to set the memory limit, run the following command:

sudo sh -c 'echo 1000 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/usbfs_memory_mb'

To confirm that you have successfully updated the memory limit, run the following command:

cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/usbfs_memory_mb

Example of usage

• Run:
  • bin/./mvbluefox3_test.
