Interesting, didn't know I had to restart for the debug option to work? Saw your earlier post and initially didn't seem to make a difference, however now, after enabling debug and restarting, I now get this log;

So basically trapped in a buffer overflow loop.

Clues?

No clue. My Process was to shut down kstars/ekos, try another USB3.0 port for the camera, ran LSUSB, got same response; tried LSUSB without camera, saw that the xx533 was missing. Went back to original USB 3.0 slot and restarted Kstars/Ekos this time it worked?

sorry no more help than that.

The driver is crashing, I will re-trigger the build on 20.04

Is this a camera specific problem or should all ASI cameras update the Indi driver after the build?

thanks,

OK I've tried the nightly build and am testing on Build: 2020-08-06T10:33:03Z

Behaviour is;

1) Unplug camera, run the ZWO service, get an error message about no ASI camera found as expected
2) Plug in camera, stop the ZWO service and run again, the INDI control panel pops open as expected
3) Camera is named randomly, this time it is ZWO CCD >V
4) Click Connect - get [ERROR] Error connecting to the CCD (16)

So no crashes on the nightly build, but still isn't working. This is one of the most recent ZWO cameras.

Have you tried ASIStudio on the same Linux system? Dies it work with that?

It works fine with Firecapture on the same system, I don't use ASIStudio. Camera also works fine on my other windows based computers with Firecapture.

But I'll download it and give it a go and report back ...

OK, installed ASIStudio, camera works as expected. Re-tried INDI since the installation process added some rules - no change from my previous report. Does not work :-(

Sorry, maybe my terminology is incorrect - I mean doing this;

KSTARS Tools -> Devices -> Device Manager, select ZWO CCD in the CCD section, click "Run Service" to run "the ZWO service"

Why are you running it from there? Create equipment profile in Ekos and select ASI CCD as your camera and that's it. The Devices --> Device Manager is used WITHOUT Ekos.

I found the way it handled equipment very non-intuitive. It worked connecting the mount that way and so it seemed logical for the camera to work the same way. I was starting just by using Kstars to control the mount and was then using Firecapture for imaging but wanted to hook up the camera to kstars as well so that I could evaluate moving off Firecapture (more likely for DSO work).

I'll head off to RTFM and see if that helps ;-)
