I'm trying to test a UVC I compiled for a Xilinx board. I'm following these directions. On line 720 it says device: run the gadget. What is meant by run the gadget Is it modprobe g_webcam?

Any help is appreciated.

This kernel documentation uses the phrases "enable the gadget" and "run the gadget" interchangeably.

Note that lines 695 through 714 are describing how to enable a UVC gadget via ConfigFS. For your initial testing, using the legacy modprobe g_webcam will probably suffice as a less error-prone alternative.

So these three steps are distinct: enable a UVC gadget (either via g_webcam or libcomposite + the appropriate commands), enable vivid, and run the uvc-gadget userspace program.
