NextBiometrics NB-2033-U (nb2033)

Status: WIP (unmerged upstream MR)

Device ID(s): 298d:2033, 298d:2020

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 !574: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/-/merge_requests/574
• Author: Sebastian van de Meer (@Kernel-Error)

What it does

New nb2033 driver for the NextBiometrics NB-2033-U reader.

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 \
  merge-requests/574/head:mr-574
git checkout mr-574
