Jörn,

I downloaded the PVCAM Linux SDK from

https://www.photometrics.com/support/third-party-software/linux

I have only installed it so far. it is 64 bit and uses libusb. I haven't used it.

Hi Jhon,

I hope you are aware of, that the PVCAM linux SDK is 32bit only! At leasththe
one that I got from piacton's ftp site.

I'm currently fighting to get the needed rspiusb driver running under a decent
5.X kernbel. It was developped originaly for 2.6 and has not seen any updates
since 2011 We have in total 4 PI-MTE cameras of the old generation. Not MTE3!
These are only supported by PvCam while the MTE3 is supported by PICam.

Where did you get the new SDK from? If that would work with the ADPvCam code
and use libusb instead of a kernel module it would help a lot to get our
cameras working.
