The last couple of sessions I used the Windows driver for the sv305, since that supports on-camera guiding. I was having stability issues even with that until I switched the camera to 8-bit. I kept getting what seemed like overexposed frames.
I do recall however, that when using the indi driver via astroberry, I would have to reseat the usb cable to get the camera to reconnect. Restarting driver/indiserver likewise did not help. This was about a month ago though, so I may be misremembering. I'll pay special attention to it the next chance I get.
You're welcome, but you know, I'm just a selfish guy that wanted to use this camera on Linux

No, I nether experienced this timeout issue, but like Gingerbread, I noticed that switching multiple times between 8 bits and 12 bits hangs sometimes the camera.
A cold restart is then needed.

I have the sv305 Pro. As far as I can tell, the camera functions the same as the regular sv305 with the indi-svbony driver, in that it does work. It can be a bit fiddly though.
The only functionality missing from the Windows driver is ST4 guiding.
Thanks a lot ginger,
When you say that is a bit fiddly, What do you reffer abaut?
Is complicated to set for work?
I supose that for usb3, is a little bit more quicker to take photos, don't you?
Thanks a lot.

By a bit fiddly, I mean that sometimes it hangs up, and requires re-plugging of the cable to get it to work again. Restarting the driver, indiserver, or RPi would not fix it. That, and what seem to be over-exposed frames, where the image is mostly white, but with black dots. This happened on the Windows driver as well, until I switched the camera to 8-bit mode. As for usb3 being faster for pictures, I don't really know. If anything, I imagine it's better for video, or if you have multiple usb3 devices sharing the same hub, since there's more bandwidth.

I don't have a x64 linux machine that I can hook the camera up to. If you could provide a binary for armhf, or a link to the source so that I might compile it myself, I'd be happy to run it.
Are you able to test it by compiling it from my repo ? : github.com/thx8411/indi-3rdparty
If not, I will PR, it wont break anything, just removed a whitespace.
