Uvc compatibility

Hello,
I would like to use ZED mini camera on debian 11 with open capture library.

I was hoping that standard linux driver would be enough. However devices /dev/videox are not created after connecting the device.

lsusb output:

$lsusb
Bus 001 Device 016: ID 2b03:f681 STEREOLABS ZED-M HID Interface

Could you please give me some tips what went wrong?

@purpledeer111 you are using a ZED Mini and the UVC module is not starting.
There are three possible reasons for that:

  • the camera is broken
  • the cable is broken
  • the cable is not correctly plugged in

The third is the most probable, even if the ZED Mini has a type C connector on camera side, it works only if plugged in the correct verse.
Please try flip it and let me know if the 2b03:f680 device is then listed with lsubs

Should led next to ZED M text on camera front be on after connecting to PC? On my device the led is off all the time.

The led turns on when the camera is correctly opened by a software that uses it.
Can I ask you to run the ZED Diagnostic tool and to send the report that it generates to support@stereolabs.com?
With it, I can get more information about your system and I can better understand what can be the cause of the problem.

ZED Diagnostic.exe crashes during USB test.

I ran it under windows 10.

Here is screenshot before crash

Diagnostic tool does not event detect CUDA event it is installed. (yes I have restarted computer multiple times)

Have you tried to change cable to be sure that it is not broken?
You can use any type of USB typeC cables

There is a problem with USB ports on my computer. Do not know what problem, though.

I have tried camera with different computer and files /dev/videox were immediately created.
