I'm trying to use a USB webcam but I can not get it to work properly.

With a Raspberry Pi works perfectly but with Orange Pi PC i have these:

The webcam is detected

~$ lsusb
...
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0bda:5801 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Copy code

but any video device (like video0) appears on /dev/, i think that have an driver incompatibility with kernel because

~$ dmesg
...
[ 983.589080] ehci_irq: highspeed device connect
[ 983.850062] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using sunxi-ehci
[ 984.464628] uvcvideo: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout

Copy code

At this point i don't know how to fix it

I am struggling with webcams too, but my problem seems to be in a different driver.
Anyways, quick googling of your output showed that your uvcdriver was compiled for a different kernel version.
Here, take a look at a dirty solution: StackOverflow question.
You'll need a HEX editor and it MIGHT work. Might not.
