I got the driver to load, how can I test it?

erikkallen commented 5 years ago

HI, Thanks for making this PKGBUILD I have gotten this module to build and it seems to load, but I can't seem to find what it should do. I excpect a spi device to show up but it does not. Do I need extra arguments?

I have a asus zenbook ux370u which schould have a goodix gf3208 spi fingerprint sensor

I am happy to test any suggestions.

After loading the driver with sudo modprobe gf-spi I get the output below Do I need an entry in my devicetree?

my dmesg output:

[  986.411815] --------gf_init start.--------
[  986.411876]  status = 0x0
[  986.411876] gf:gf_init, exit
[  986.411877] --------gf_init end---OK.--------

and ls /dev

LUnfortunately there is still no driver available for this device via USB. The source used here uses SPI bus. For more info just take a look here: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fprint/2018-February/000999.html

Maybe it would be nice to explain it in a README

It also happens in Dell laptops sold with Ubuntu preinstalled (looks like a little scam)

Congratulations for your work!
