I have the AmScope MU1403 camera, and it does spot it as a device, but doesn't see it as a camera.

the dmesg command shows this:


[726785.843313] usb 1-1.5.2: new high-speed USB device number 9 using dwc_otg
[726785.974597] usb 1-1.5.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0547, idProduct=4b14

If you plug in a USB camera, I get the following:

One of the Amazon reviews lists it as using custom software on all platforms.
They do provide software for the MU series under Linux at https://www.amscope.com/software-download, but it's precompiled binaries for x86 and x86_64, so no ARM support.
You could ask AmScope if they could support ARM platforms, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

As suspected. AmScope support's answer were "We are not able to do that.".
