Hi. This seems the perfect place to try to enable support for my fingerprint sensor (an egismoc 1c7a:0584). However, according to libfprintd’s master git, this support was included only a month ago. Would you be willing to try to build a newer (highly experimental) version directly from master branch? :face_holding_back_tears::folded_hands:

Hi. The current support for egismoc in the master branch doesn’t support SDCP yet, which EgisTec has enforced in recent versions of the sensor’s firmware (which is automatically installed thru driver updates in Windows).

The builds in this COPR repo have SDCP support (thanks to Joshua Grisham!), which hasn’t yet been merged in master.

We do have the same sensor (1c7a:0584), so installing libfprint from this should be mostly fine. Just make sure to enable support for it on Fedora. :slight_smile:

Wow, this is great news!! Thanks a lot :heart: I have one additional question, though (sorry if this is too obvious or plain wrong, this is completely uncharted territory for me): I did manage to do a local build from libfprint’s master branch, and installed it; it does recognize my sensor, but it doesn’t seem to commit the changes to the hardware, which makes them volatile (I created issue #760 there about this). Could this be due to the lack of SDCP as you mentioned, or is there anything else still missing on the logic?

Quick update: I installed libfprint from your COPR, and it worked OOB! :party: :raising_hands: Thank you so much!
