Dear All,
It looks I'm facing the same issue. ASI driver crashes and restarts continously.
My Indi server is installed on a Raspberry Pi4. Kstars/Ekos is on a remote PC (local network).
The setup ran perfectly until the latest update. I've 4 ASI cameras attached to the server.
I've tried to installed the file given here : code.launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+recipe/libomegonpro-stable
But no change.
I've tried updating with the nightly builds.
Can you give me a recommandation to make the setup work again?
Best regards,
François Cochard (Shelyak Instruments).

Hello François,
The solution I found is to purge all indi-full and indi-bin then to download indi-core sources and 3rd-party drivers. In each downloaded directory there is a script folder and all the scripts to compile the whole lib and drivers.
The order is to install the prerequisites with the appropriate script, after compiling the libs and finally the 3rd-party drivers.
But that is not all.
As it looks like some install scripts seems to set the ASI on wrong place under /user/local/lib I have made a copy of the /user/local/lib/libASICamera2.so.1.25 which is 1.22 to /usr//aarec64-linux-gnu/lib/libASICamera2.so.1.25 which is 1.25, the one that fail.
As I said it is a dirty workaround, but there is no other solution I found.
Good luck

Hello Patrick,
Many thanks for your reply.
Whoo... new fresh install through compiling Indi... looks to me quite a hard task (I could do it, but I'm afraid it will take long - I'm not familiar enough with compiling). I'd like to observe tonight (;>)

We're talking about the Indi server, right? Not the Kstars/Ekos client (which is not on the same PC, in my case)?

I just looked on my Indi server (running on a Raspeberry Pi4): I've nothing in /usr/local/bin. And the
The command "sudo find /usr -name libASI*" returns:
usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libASICamera2.so.1.25
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libASICamera2.so
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libASICamera2.so.1

The command "strings /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libASICamera2.so.1.25 | grep 1," returns
1, 25, 0, 0
1, 25, 0, 0
which says, if I understand properly that I still have the faulty lib (should return 1, 22).

Any simple way to only get the 1.22 version?
Again, many thanks for your help.
Best regards,
François

You could try to get the libasi package from the nightly builds and either install that, or manually extract the .deb and only replace that one lib

Yes François we are speaking about the indiserver and the drivers of the devices handled by it.
The solution of Peter sound better that the one I suggest. Just download the indi-3rdparty set (github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty). Go under indi-3rdparty/libasi/armv8 where there is a libASICamera2.bin. You just have to rename the library from .bin to .1.25.so and copy it in the right folder as /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libASICamera2.so.1.25.
Verify that "strings /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libASICamera2.so.1.25 | grep 1," gives "1.2".
Hope it will works.

Dear Peter and Patrick,

Unbelievable : IT WORKS ! Thank you so much for your help & reactivity.

I did exactly what you mention:
- rename libASICamera2.so.1.25 to libASICamera2.so.1.25OLD,
- copied the libASICamera2.bin (from github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty/libasi/armv8) and rename it to /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libASICamera2.so.1.25
- checked that strings /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libASICamera2.so.1.25 | grep 1," gives "1.2" (yes, it does)
... and test Kstars: all ASI cameras work fine.

You're like magicians - thank you so much.
I'm now ready to observe again tonight. One day, I'll show you in detail what I'm doing (spectroscopy with UVEX instrument)...
Take care!
Best regards,
François

Heureux de savoir que cela fonctionne.
I am a new user of the Solar explorer device developped by Christian Buil and a newcomer in the spectrography world.
But I am also an old faithful user of open source softwares.
I will be happy to hear about your works in spectrography.
Have a nice day
Patrick

Dear Patrick,
Wonderful! Welcome to spectroscopy.
This subject is "out of topics" in this thread, but tell me if you need any help somewhere.
Yesterday night I've been able to run a new observation, and everything went well.
Thank you again for your help.
Regards,
François

Good evening,

I´m also trying to fix the issue with ZWO cameras. In my case I have libASICamera2.so.1.26 instead of 25. In addition, if I download the bin file from github (github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty/blob/ma...v8/libASICamera2.bin), I rename it and I run the command, it still returns 26 instead of 22. Did you download an old version?

Thanks and best regards.

@JUAN
Hi
Are the symlinks set correctly? Here's a working install.
Under:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
we have:



I believe that unless 1.26 fixes the disconnect for all versions, on arm that needs to be 1.22
HTH

Hi Alacant,

for me it is similar as your image. My question is about how to get the 22 version. Do you download from an old version in git? Current master version is 26.

Best regards.

If 1.26 doesn't work for you, the old versions are here:
github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty/tree/master/libasi

Hit the platform you want, e.g. x64, then hit 'History'
