Where the idea come from !

The high quality Linux kernel with uclibc and a lot of software components can be set in small electronic board. Many routers, dvd player, tv ...are set this way and provide a lot of new functions to the users.
People are trying to set up spca5xx on embedded device, but spca5xx is designed to set usb webcams (up to 180 today) on a work station and cannot fit in a small memory area. That is why the project spca5xx-light-edition emerged :)
I have created a project with a Epia M card with a remote tracking camera, for a Linux meeting at Dijon (France) and see all benefits we can get with a small footprint memory
In the mean times Dr.Illah Nourbakhsh from the Carnegie Mellon University contacted me to set up a vision machine on the TERK robot with a ARM9 CPU and my friends from Acmesystems to set a webcamera on a very nice Fox board Don't forget the Tux Case :)
