MS Surface RT - Raspberry Pi Alternative

Hmm.. I have one of those Dell tablets that run the Windows RT; I wonder if this would work for that thing, it's useless otherwise.
 
Old thread I know but I'm running Klipper on a Surface RT and am loving it. Next thing is to get USB webcam working with it, wanted to check if anyone has had any luck.
 
Hello, had the same idea as you guys, it works magic, great thing to be able to recycle an otherwise quite dumb and slow tablet :)

Managed to have all running after kiauh installation, including the webcam I used one of the bullseye images from here https://files.open-rt.party/Linux/Distro,
webcam (lifecam hd6000) appeared in lsusb and v4l2-ctl --list-devices as /dev/video1, which I configured in crowsnest.conf. This is enough to have the webcam working remotely from mainsail.

Sound like there is some bug in video playing libraries, to make mpv, vlc and ffmpeg causing those apps to die with an "illegal instruction" error . So to have the image processed on the surface itself you need to "disable" the neon libraries, with this workaraund:

cd /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/neon
sudo mv vpf vpf.save


after that webcam from klipperscreen will work.
