UVC/UTV007/HTV600 driver support for Galaxy Tab S2 or Galaxy Tab E

Question

I'm planning to connect a reverse camera to an android tablet.



I am using the famous EasyCAP device to get the analog RCA signal to USB input.



I have tried this with a few apps and turns out they rely on a kernel mode driver which may or may not be included in a given device.



My Nexus 5X works well, but my Galaxy Tab A 7" (2016) doesn't seem to have it. (Go FPV app says it can't find the driver)



So my question is, is there a list of device models that I can refer to, to find a device that has the driver? My target is to use a Galaxy Tab S2 or a Galaxy Tab E (due to another constraint for my project)



How can I find out which of these 2 devices will include the kernel mode driver I need?



Another option is to use the popular EasyCAP Viewer app which is paid, since Arksine's Easycam project here suggests that app uses a user-mode driver which doesn't rely on the kernel mode driver to be present. I'm not sure whether it is true.

Answer

It's been a while and I haven't seen any answers, so I'm gonna post my approach and findings. If someone has an answer, please post here and I will accept it.





So far, I couldn't find a list of devices that supports the UVC driver.



If you do have a device and wondering it would support UVC, you can download Go FPV App which will show whether you have a UVC driver or not on a given device upon launch. (You do not need to connect the UVC device to get this.)



If you're using the EasyCAP Viewer app, you do not need the driver. I can confirm it doesn't rely on the kernel driver.



If you're writing an app that requires input from a UVC adapter, this GitHub project looks promising.
