Under Kernel >= 3.x

[ppmim]

We are planning to acquire a FLI USB camera, so we would like to know if you know if some part of the software (FLI Kernel module, FLI SDK or python-FLI) would have some problem with Linux Kernel 3.x or even 4.x. We plan to use Debian 8.x or Ubuntu 16.x.

Thanks!

Hi JM:

We are using the following kernel and OS without problem:

• Linux 4.1.13-100.fc21.x86_64 Preparing the FLI SDK Dependency #1 SMP Tue Nov 10 13:13:20 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two)

Regards,

Tzu

I had to make some small changes to the kernel driver (fliusb) to get things working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Linux 4.8.0-39-generic #42~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 20 15:06:07 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux).

I've published them here: https://github.com/SydneyAstrophotonicInstrumentationLab/FLI-linux

Does anyone have a version of fliusb that will build on Ubuntu 18 or 19? The error I am getting says that it does not have the headers to find build libraries.

@cdt59 I realize this isn't timely, but if you're still looking, contact Jim Moronski at FLI. There is a build of the SDK that uses libusb and deprecates fliusb.
