In the latest SDK, the problem with damaged frames during long exposure is fixed.
Probably it required more library modification and maybe something got corrupted.
I still offer cooperation for ZWO, unfortunately without success.

Just for confirmation:
With latest, you refer to 1.17, yes? So that one fixes the original issue in this thread, but causes crashes for some?

The image buffer is not the only thing that is broken.

Yesterday I used an installation from March 17 that had worked perfectly last month after I manually increased the usbfs memory in the asi.rules file. Unfortunately, I had not turned off unattended-upgrades for the Pi (running Ubuntu 20.04) and after that had completed, the indi server crashed every time I called it up. It would crash even when just starting the Moonlite driver for my focuser, so unrelated to the ZWO issue.

With the system already broken, I figured upgrading everything from the nightly repo might help. It did, indi server no longer crashed after that, but now my ZWO-EFW was missing again! Moving my old asi.rules and efw.rules files back into the /etc/udev/rules.d folder did not fix it this time.

Is there a solution on the horizon for this, or is the only practical solution right now to go back to the stable version from March 1?

Hi Jo,

In my experience it is enough to keep the current nightly/devel of indi, and only downgrade the version of libasi. Haven't yet tested my filter wheel, though - will do later today.

This may be interesting too:

Compiled from git two days ago (sdk 1.17) Opensuse Tumbleweed, ASI1600mm-pro

Picture size:   4656 x 3522       driver-crash      Edit: 4656 x 3520
Picture size:   3880 x 3520       driver-crash
Picture size:   3879 x 3520       no crash!

So, reduzing the picture size a bit let the crash dissapeare

Did you go back to a larger picture size again and ascertain that the crash still occurred?

Maybe the first instance was not surprising, the sensor of the ASI1600 measures only 4656 x 3520 pixels, so you added an extra 9312 pixels that are not addressed.

Sorry for the first instance, it was a type mismatch. I corrected it.
Yes, I went back to larger picture sizes an the driver crashed

I can confirm that, same here.  Reducing the FOV of my ASI183 to 3672x3672 prevents it from crashing!  But already at 4000 it starts crashing again, so no workable solution.

FWIW, I also tried using a USB2 cable to connect.  But no difference to USB3.
