Hi @swayamdhondge10 

Based on your description, it seems like the issue might be related to the USB configuration or the Android Camera API compatibility with the iMX8 QM board. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Check the USB Configuration: Ensure that the USB Type-C port on the iMX8 QM board is configured correctly to handle the camera data. You can refer to the iMX8 QM board documentation on the NXP community for more details on how to configure the USB ports.

2. Check the Android Camera API: The Android application might be using a version of the Camera API that is not fully compatible with the iMX8 QM board. You might need to modify the application to use a version of the API that is compatible with the board. You can refer to the Android documentation on the NXP community for more details on the supported versions of the Camera API.

3. Check the Camera Compatibility: Not all USB cameras are compatible with the iMX8 QM board. You might need to use a different camera that is known to be compatible with the board. You can refer to the iMX8 QM board documentation on the NXP community for a list of compatible cameras.

4. Check the Logs: The logs that you have attached might contain more information about the issue. Look for any error messages or warnings related to the USB connection or the Camera API. These messages might give you a clue about what is causing the issue.

5. Check the Power Supply: The USB Type-C port on the iMX8 QM board might not be able to supply enough power to the camera. You might need to use an external power supply for the camera.

Without more specific information about the issue, it's hard to provide a more detailed solution. However, I hope these suggestions will help you troubleshoot the issue. If you need more help, please provide more details about the issue, such as the exact error messages you are seeing in the logs, the version of the Android Camera API you are using, and the model of the USB camera you are trying to use.

Regards,
