    I have already chosen the proper time zone, and it seems the system automatically updates time and date after I connected to WiFi.
    I try to refresh the SD image again, and this time I use a HDMI LCD TV instead of the 7" LVDS panel.
    I just follow the official tutorial of the camera without typing additional commands like below:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0*
    Surprisingly, the camera works fine. The video captured is smooth.
    However, when I switch to the 7" LVDS panel, the problem just occurs as before...
    Then, I switch back using the HDMI TV, it works fine agian

    You mentioned about enabling camera service.
    Is "sudo service camera start" used to do the job?
    No matter I use the 7" panel or the HDMI TV, when I type that,
    the terminal shows the following messages and then just hangs there until I stop it by pressing Ctrl+C so I can type other commands.
    MFW_GST_V4LSRC_PLUGIN 3.0.8 build on Nov 19 2013 12:57:36.
    Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
    Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
    Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
    New clock: GstSystemClock


    Another strange thing is:
    The following messages are part of the result using dmesg with the 7" LVDS panel:
    [ 2.014833] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
    [ 2.021031] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbtouchscreen

    [ 2.179050] input: sitronix-i2c-touch-mt as /devices/virtual/input/input0


    It shows my panel only support 1 point touch?

    When you do service camera start, you're starting a service, and the behaviour you're seeing is normal. If you let the terminal active, you can use the camera Module as a normal webcam.
    I think I got your problem, you don't have to use the above command. But you would need to change the command for gstreamer, since you want to output on LVDS and not HDMI.
    Here there are a list of useful commands:
    https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-93387/version/1

    It could be:
    Code:
    gst-launch-0.10 mfw_v4lsrc ! mfw_v4lsink device=/dev/video17
    (or another device, try to understand which one is LVDS)
    https://developer.ridgerun.com/wiki/index.php/IMX6_GStreamer_Pipelines_-_SDK_Turrialba

    Probably you're experience laggish video because UDOO is sending the camera output to 2 screens, HDMI and LVDS. Telling him where to send video will allow for better performance. Just find out which device refers to LVDS and use the above command (maybe the syntax of gst-launch is different).
    Let me know

    What about a real time kernel? Maybe with RTAI extensions?

    Hi,
    I am using UDOO DUAL, with UDOOBuntu 1.0.
    I can not play mp3 file with the build-in Music player, either not with the Movie player , it will cause crash of the player.
    I tried to install Rhythmbox from the Lubuntu Software Center. The software can be added into the Apps Basket, but can not be seen in the page of Apps Basket.

    Many thanks francescomm.

    I also have a quad and latest beta installed. I can see the available wifi networks but cannot connect.

    Any ideas?

    I had to go to the networking form through the start menu and connect from there. When I select it from the other context menu it will just say "Wifi Disconnected" It's a strange behavior but I think it's just a minor glitch.

    Wlan is working great! Generally seems to be very nice also, boots up quick, seems to have everything I need/want.

    However I'm trying to figure out how to get otg usb between the mx6 and sam3x. It would be nice if this worked "out of the box". (or if it does, then just some instructions)
    UART communication is very slow :/

    Go to the Webcam tool. If your camera is plugged in, it should show up in the list. If it doesn't, then the chances are that the camera you are trying to use is not UVC compatible... Only UVC cameras will work on Linux (or Mac).

    Ok, finally got a chance to sit down and give this a try (the 1.0 version)... A couple comments:

    1) LOVE the Udoo Config tool. SO glad we have that now!
    2) Wifi worked for me right away.
    3) Not having any luck getting my display to go to the proper mode. I'm hooked to an HDTV 1080P via HDMI, but it always comes up in 1280x1024 and I can't seem to change to any other mode. I assume maybe I have to add something to a config file. Note this is after I used the Udooconfig tool and told it to use HDMI and 1920x1080 and then rebooted.
    4) Performance seems quite a bit snappier than it had previously.
    5) The webcam capture tool is decent, but having weird recording issues when using a USB webcam. It seems to record, but using the Video player tool it seems to just be green screen corrupted.
    6) going along with that, I see the audio meter moving as it should when I make noise, but the playback gets zero sound... In fact, I can't seem to get sound output at all over HDMI.
    7) The arduino code compile/upload is still OMG slow.
    8) The camera module works great! VERY fast.
    9) I don't know if I did something wrong when I made my 3rd USB port cable or what (I've tried like every possible pin combination) but I just can NOT seem to get anything plugged into that internal port to show up in lsusb nor work... Hope I didn't blow that port...
    10) back to the video playback tool - I've had issues where the area where the video plays will stay on top of menus and such, making it impossible to see the menu items... ie: it seems like the z-order in the video drivers are being screwed up.


    I still need to try to get either of the touchscreens working... Really need to find some way to prop them up, particularly the 15"....

    I also need to see about setting up a SATA drive... I have a couple small SSD's to try. That should make things even snappier (I've seen a couple really long hangs as the SD card is being written to...)
