STF-402 camera requires v 4.99 of SBIG universal driver #45

From a private discussion on the diffraction limited forums:

STF-402 (upgraded ST-402) camera enumerates like this:

[78471.398297] usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0d97, idProduct=0102
[78471.398301] usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[78471.398305] usb 1-2: Product: USB8-CAM Engine
[78998.522395] usb 1-2: new high-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd

We are unable to access the camera with the current universal driver:

$ sbig info driver
version: 4.84
name: libsbigudrv Ver 4.84-LINUX
maxreq: 1

$ sbig info ccd imaging
parusbio.c --> USBGetPixels : CE_DEVICE_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
sbig-info: sbig_establish_link: Device not Implemented

We did verify that this camera is self-contained and does not need to download firmware like the older ST cameras.

Updating to a more recent universal driver posted on the DL forum resovled the problem

At the time this was originally discussed (29 Dec 2019), the INDI-packaged sbigudrv for arm32 was providing v 4.84. Just wanted to make sure we had this issue documented in case it comes up again. We can close it once we have confirmed that INDI has updated their package.

I think the INDI libsbigudrv2 is shipping 4.99 for all architectures except armhf, because of a problem with the build for that architecture described here

Another issue I found is that their armhf version was compiled under buster and requires glibc 2.28 which is not available on most LTS distros now. I again asked them to update it and awaiting their response. Any suggestions welcome.

I will confirm this and open an INDI bug if it is still the case.
