Getting the Fujitsu Palm Scanner to work.



A. The actual device
Plug it into a USB2.0. USB3.0 if you plan on using "high power mode" whatever that is (you wont).
Use lsusb to show the system found it: 04c5:1526 Fujitsu, Ltd FUJITSU PalmSecure-F Pro


B. The driver basics
cd fjpalmvein-main        # I had to modify some things so it would compile, eg CURRENT_TIME macro
make                      # end up with fjveincam.ko
lsmod|grep fj             # list modules already loaded with fj in the name
sudo insmod fjveincam.ko  # module is now allegedly loaded
dmesg                     # confirmation the module is loaded and all good
uname -r                  # driver kernel version = 5.15.0-72-generic
sudo cp fjveincam.ko /usr/lib/modules/5.15.0-72-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/
sudo rmmod fjveincam.ko
sudo insmod fjveincam.ko 


C. The driver automount rules
sudo cp 93-unicon-palmvene.rules /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/   # automates mount and provides a path
tail -f /var/log/syslog   # 
Now unplug/replug the device
cat /tmp/fjpv             # Should see the date in the file
ls -altr /tmp/usb         # Should see device fjveincam0


D. The legal bullshit
Make sure you have the APP KEY P6Kiuy2L4CifuBuK for your C code.
Make sure you have the licence file F3BC4SDK.LIC in you LIB directory.
If everything isn't *JUST SO* it'll barf.


E. The C demo code
Alter the Makefile (CROSS = "") and point -I= at your libs
make 
./BioAPI_sample_C_Identify # ErrorDetail 0x2010002 = sensor driver issue
