Hello everyone , I want to add an "Image sensor(finger print)" to my evolution board . But the linux kernel doesn't support this module . How can I add it to sources ? Is it possible ? Thanks . |

Hi, You need to tell us more details... - What SoC your board has - What chipset do the fingerprint scanner have You should also go through the Linux kernel sources and look for drivers for such hardware. The sources will tell you how this is implemented. Michael. |

Thank you Michael , CPU:AT91SAM9G45(Atmel) Image sensor:AT77C101B(Atmel) OS:Android(Provided by Atmel) I searched in drivers in kernel 2.6.35 , but "finger print" driver is not available(AT77C101B software driver) . If more info is require , tell me what's that exactly . In Atmel forum , people are Impatient for Discussion so I referred to linaro . (Sorry for late replaying . Internet was down for few days in my country) |

Hi Mohammad, Thanks for the details. Indeed this fingerprint sensor doesn't seem to be supported in Linux (after a quick check in the sources). I would still ask Atmel whether they have an out-of-tree driver somewhere for Linux. If one exists, you could upgrade it to the latest version of Linux, or hire someone to do it (either from the datasheet, or from an existing driver). Sorry not to be able to help any further. Good luck. Michael. |
