EgisTec 0576

Status: WIP (unmerged upstream MR)

Device ID(s): 1c7a:0576

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 !571: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/-/merge_requests/571
• Author: MarcelWRLD (@Sprayxe)

What it does

New driver for the EgisTec 1c7a:0576 sensor.

How to use it

The code lives in the merge request, not in this repo. To try it, check out the MR's source branch of libfprint and build from source (see docs/BUILD.md for the shared build, install, PAM and troubleshooting steps), or follow any instructions in the MR discussion.

# fetch the MR branch into a libfprint checkout, e.g.
git fetch https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint.git \
