Here's a link to a demonstration video! GameBoy Color emulation at 60FPS, properly synchronized using the audio. Using a DisplayLink DL-165, a FullHD monitor, a USB audio card and a WiiClassic I²C controller. Most of the CPU time is taken up by the routine that sends the framebuffer via USB. If that were not there, the CPU load would go down from 60% to about 26%. Which means that there's a lot of things to optimize here yet... I'll go the 'X11 Xorg server' route for a while and see where that takes me :).

Hello @Maximilian-Gerhardt , thanks for your response! I did the command dmesg, and I read the whole log, and I didn't have uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USB 2.0 PC Cam (5149: 13d3) input: USB 2.0 PC Cam as /devices/platform/101c0000.ehci/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/input/input0 like @CAP-33 (or something similar). So I assume that my webcam is not detected by the system, it was probably the problem! So I will take another. Thank you again

First of all, there is no PCI (or PCIe) bus on Omega2, thus no go on that route. Regarding USB-VGA output dongle: It needs a driver on the MT7688 side (Omega2 side) and not only that, it needs a large frame buffer on the Omega2. That USB-VGA dongle is just a data pump/VGA output formatter to continuously refresh/display the content of the frame buffer. In such case, Omega2 does not have large enough memory, nor enough horse power to isochronously send the FB data out over USB. In another word: dead-end. Use the device as what its is most suitable for. Your case needs a device such as Raspberry Pi zero.

@Luciano-S. Yea,. And what is funny is I got a Windows 10, 8" tablet (Signature Edition) for $50, which upgraded to Win 10 Anniversary edition with no issues, so I could work with and monitor my Omegas. I did go back and spend $25 for a BT keyboard/mouse combo. Everyone wants a tiny computer, but all these things out there from LattePanda to the ones in that video all require a bunch of dongles and cords to connect and run. The tablet is not the fastest, nor does it have the biggest storage, but it works for interfacing with the Omegas. Hell, I can use my iPad to SSH into the Omegas (also using a BT keyboard for sanity) and it works just fine. Some of these single board computers end up needing so many things to get them working, that it just isn't worth it. Especially when they say these are "consumption devices" or set-top boxes. There are far better devices, and if you wanna put a Raspberry pi in a case with an LCD screen, it is probably cheaper overall to get a cheap tablet and swap out the OS. I get it, people want to hack their own stuff because they can. As cool as the ideas can be, the market is getting flooded with these tiny computers.

@ccs-hello Indeed, yes, I scanned the question too quickly and thought it was about streaming from USB webcams that do their own MJPEG. But the actual topic of trying to do video output from an MT7688 is indeed not sensible. The cheap "not quite Android" chips used in the dongles, or a pi (if you can get the GPU actually turned on for the desired compression), do make much more sense for that... and not just in the dedicated computational paths, but in having HDMI output!

@fossette Agreed ! Ultimately I would like to use a "good enough, cheap enough" Linux SBC to do multiple streaming over WiFi into HDMI TV dongles like open source Miracast ones (going $10 or less on AliExpress.) Possibly with a TVout/HDMI stream if the adapter is available at the same time. I suppose Linux does have a Miraclecast driver to support such WiFi Direct dongles? Could Omega2 do such WiFi streaming? How "good" anyway is Omega2 WiFi, in terms of Mbps throughput vs range in meters, assuming a free channel? Does OpenWrt make a difference? I remember months ago I had asked this TVout/HDMI multi-streaming question on CHIP forums, and WereCatf had replied saying CHIP/ A13 or OPi/ H3 likely were not multiple outputs capable. But WiFi streaming with the actual video display looks more promising. Hope I am right

Thank you for reviewing our Omega2! Re: forum: We've been really busy shipping out thousands of orders and we're just getting back to our forums. A big thank you to our users who were able to help you out!

@Christoph-Zembrowski Thank you. Guess I just got unlucky using the Logitech livestream which doesn't work. There have been some mentioned herein that it may be due to the power it draws. And some promises to add more drivers. Without knowing for sure will now see about picking up one of the two you mention. Again Thank you.

@Rudy-Trujillo although we haven't done a motion triggered camera, we have done a time-lapse program with mjpeg-streamer. It's quite a bit of fun.
