USB UVC Camera Support on STM32MP135 via USB Host

Hello, I need some advice.
I would like to know if the STM32MP135 processor is capable of reading a USB UVC camera through its USB host port. I currently have a USB camera based on the OV9734 sensor.
I know the documentation states that the processor supports an 8- to 16-bit camera interface, but in my case, I need to use a USB camera.
Can someone clarify if this is possible?

    Hello @Rflor ,
    Yes you can use an USB camera on MP13 board. After the plug (or after boot), you will simply see a new entry under /dev/videoX and you will be able to configure and use it as any other camera.

    The configuration then is up to you depending on the model you chose.

    Kind regards,
    Erwan.

    Thanks for the clarification. Just to confirm — does that mean I could simply use the example from the demo launcher link with a USB UVC webcam and it would work out of the box, displaying the image on screen? Are there any limitations regarding resolution or USB transfer speed I should be aware of? If you know the typical capabilities the STM32MP135 can handle in this context, that would be very helpful.

    Thanks again!
