Jim, if you have a chance, please look also into this problem: 

indilib.org/forum/ccds-dslrs/9089-indi-c....html?start=24#69568

The issue with the ZWO-EFW is still ongoing, although I was able to fix that for my own installation.  However, Brian still has no joy getting his ZWO-EAF connected.

These problems arose at the same time as the image buffer issue in middle of last month, so the cause is likely related to the changes that were made at the time.

Merci

The current git build of indi-asi and libasi crash and dump core on the INDI server, and also cause kstars to crash and dump core on the client at the same time! I'd stay away from it for now. I sent Jasem some information to look at.

Jo, I don't have an EAF, but after reverting to the build of indi-asi from March 19, my ASI1600 MM Pro, ASI290 Mini, and ASI-EFW 8 are all working again.

No crash with current build and ASI120mc-s. So I changed to ASI1600mm-pro: crash.
I went back in the git history. The first time, the crash comes in, is this commit:
Maybe someone of you can have a closer look into this.

Is there any news on this?  I just tried to connect my camera (ASI183MC) locally to the laptop, and trying to take an image crashes the indi driver.  Streaming works on the first try (I can even select sub-fields etc), but a restart (also from within the stream window to change exposure) will crash it....
This is with libindi-1.9.0-92_gbd9110b4.  No issues with the previous one I had installed (libindi-1.9.0-21_gd9a5e309 as of March 11)

I compiled from git just an hour before. The problem is not solved: ASI1600mm-pro crash the asi-cam-driver and kstars as well.

I played a bit with this stuff
 
The crash comes in with the new ASI-Cam-SDK 1.17.  "libASICamera2.so.1.17" is a shared library and dynamically loaded. I told my system to load the old SDK instead ( "libASICamera2.so.1.16.3" ). Result: No more crash. All is working well. So going back to SDK 1.16.3 should fix the problem

I can't replicate the crash with multiple ZWO cameras here, so what's going on?

Jasem, which cameras did you use?

The little ASI120mm-s gives no crash for me. All is fine.
The big ASI1600mm-pro crash the cam driver and finally kstars.

That´s hat happen on my Linux-PC

This can actually be a problem for a specific camera.
Each camera has its own implementation of receiving data.

For example, Jasem keeps mentioning to me that he has no problems running 2 cameras at once.
Of course it is, the ASI178MM and ASI120MM-Mini cameras have a similar communication implementation, in a cooperative global variable. So you can't run them all at once.
The ASI178MC and ASI120MC cameras can already be run together, they have completely different communication implementations.

No idea. I started kstars from the terminal, and got messages about the xml device file,
Dispatch command error(-1): Device ZWO CCD ASI183MC Pro not found
<setTextVector device="ZWO CCD ASI183MC Pro" name="DRIVER_INFO" state="Idle" timeout="60" timestamp="2021-04-11T09:39:07">

</oneText>
<oneText name="DRIVER_VERSION">

</oneText>
<oneText name="DRIVER_INTERFACE">

</oneText>
</setTextVector>


I deleted the xml files, then it started without the error, but it still crashed. I was running in local mode. So I tried running indiserver manually and connect to remote localhost. Also crash, and the indiserver says
2021-04-11T09:45:29: Driver indi_asi_ccd: stderr EOF
Child process 17789 died

Also tried deleting ~/>ZWO/ASIconfig.xml, without change.

I tried running it in gdb, not sure if that is successful (I started indiserver manually, then connected via 'gdb -p PID').
Here's the output:
Thread 4 "indi_asi_ccd" received signal SIG33, Real-time event 33.

I can at least confirm that, while the ASI183MC is crashing the driver every time, the 290MMmini works without issues...

For what it's worth, my own experience :

SW EQ6-R Pro (eqmod)
ASI1600mm Pro
ASI290mm
ZWO EAF
ZWO EFW

Every hardware on a Raspberry Pi3 running Fedora. ASI290mm + ZWO EFW on the hub of the 1600mm
EQ6 and ZWO EAF on the others USB ports.

Kstars on a distant laptop, WIFI connected to the Pi under Fedora 33.
Every thing built from scratch, latest git (2021-04-10)

Everything works fine. Absolutely no problem detected (?)

Just one thing, I had to add the famous line giving some more memory to my own
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-astro.rules

<
# Add some memory for ASI cameras
ACTION=="add", ATTR{idVendor}=="03c3", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '/bin/echo 256 >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/usbfs_memory_mb'"

# EQMod Mount
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6015", ATTRS{serial}=="EB30E0KY", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="ttyUSB.EQ6-Marco"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6015", ATTRS{serial}=="EB46CW9V", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="ttyUSB.EQ6-Greg"

I need it for the planetary software FireCapture which, by the way JASEM, is fully compatible with INDI, both the Linux AND the Windows versions.
(Starting with 2.7beta-02)

A new add to your list of compatible softwares.

Very nice, Marc. I have a similar equipment configuration, and last I checked (clouds and life), my 1600s and 290 mini were also working together with the EFW8.

BTW, not sure if you are aware or not, but I put together a Fedora Copr for INDI, Kstars, stellarsolver, and ekosdebugger that keeps the most recent packages built in RPM format, available here:

copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/xsnrg/
