Samsung 730B (image)

Status: WIP (unmerged upstream MR)

Device ID(s): 04e8:730b

This is a driver that has been submitted to the official libfprint project but is not merged yet, so it is not in any released libfprint. Tracked here so people with this sensor can find and build the work in progress.

Upstream merge request

• libfprint MR !556: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/-/merge_requests/556

What it does
