Yes.

Try this:

Code:

sudo apt-get install automake autoconf gettext libtool libjpeg62-dev libv4l-dev git gawk g++
git clone git://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git
cd v4l-utils
autoreconf -vfi
./configure
make
sudo make install

After that, try to test with

Code:

sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2
v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=2592,height=1944,pixelformat=3
v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap=3 --stream-count=1 --stream-to=test1.jpg

I use Xbian 1.0 RC2 with a Raspberry NOIR and it works for me.

Some more informations:
To install the cam as capture device type:

Code:

sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2
sudo v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat="H264" -d /dev/video0

Then install "motion"

Code:

sudo apt-get install motion

Here is my motion.conf.txt copy it to /etc/motion/motion.conf

Server is running on port 8008 (http://myXbianServer:8008)

If you want to run as daemon

Code:

sudo nano /etc/default/motion

Code:

#start_motion_daemon=no
start_motion_daemon=yes

and in my motion.conf

Code:

# Daemon
############################################################

# Start in daemon (background) mode and release terminal (default: off)

#daemon off
daemon on

1280x720 is working. On 1920x1080 I get an error

To load the module on startup

"sudo nano /etc/modules" and add bcm2835-v4l2
