Linux Board with iCloud


There is a Dash-Camera in the car which is connected to the smartphone via WiFi module which is inbuilt in a Linux board in the Dash-Camera.

Is there anyway to upload pictures/videos from the camera directly to the iCloud Drive? As of now it is only possible to upload data to other cloud services using their respective API`s such as Google, Dropbox, One drive etc..

Since you don't tell us the brand/model of this dash cam, or what version/distro of Linux, how can we tell you anything about what's possible/not? Without details, there isn't anything we can do to help you. Chances are you cannot change anything, since it isn't a "Linux board", but a pre-built appliance, with a set interface. You *MAY* be able to do some things, but it may be very involved and will probably void your warranty (at minimum) or render your device totally inoperable (at worst).

But your post is confusing...you say the camera is connected to your smartphone via wifi. Fine...so tell your phone to sync to iCloud. That would be the easier and more stable way to approach this.

TI ARM Cortex A8-32 Bit 600MHz is used. We need to save data to the cloud directly from the camera in case the user wants to view it later and also to save space on the SD card. This is now possible only to other cloud services other than iCloud.

The app in the smartphone is used for live streaming (WiFi in car and Dongle with sim outside the car).

Ok, but you still haven't said what the brand/model of this dashcam is. The underlying hardware is fine, but without knowing how the device functions, we can't tell you anything about even if it's POSSIBLE to modify it. For all we know, the version of Linux it's running is burned into firmware, and can't be changed at all, and only does one thing. We know what you want to do, as you've stated it twice now.

Ok...again, without knowing what the app is, how can we tell you anything about how it may possibly be used to accomplish your goals?

As TBOne pointed out that you lacked to provide information relative to your query. I suggest that you look at this to help compose a informational request; http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...#faq_lqwelcome

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!
