Hi,
I dont mind working on the driver as long as i have someone to guide me
through the process.
I have looked through the git repo for libfprint. However, I am not very
clear as to which parts have to be written to support a new device.
From what I understand, i need to sniff the usb packets to determine
what data is sent during startup,idle and while reading the prints. Then
i need to write C source with functions to detect the state of the
reader and read in the data and transmit it over the internal API for
processing?
The enrollment, storage and verification process are all being performed
by a standard library?
Thanks
Ben

Hi Benjamin,
Recently, i have been trying to get my Transcend Fingerprint reader working
on Linux and realised that fprint currently does not support it.
The device info is ID 1307:1171 Transcend Information, Inc. Fingerprint
Reader
Attempts have been made in the past to support the device at the thread here
but it seems incomplete.

Is it possible to support this device? If you need any logs or data, do let
me know.
It's unlikely until someone from devs get his hands on the device,
it's close to impossible
to develop driver for remote device, sorry.
However I can help with analyzing logs.
Regards
Vasily
