I think I answered my own question that "sudo apt install libsv305 indi-sv305" did find an update but I don't believe it's the one for the 905. Starting Ekos just gave a repeated driver crashed error. So I pieced together enough info in the thread to build the driver with limited command line experience. Still no joy but I think I'm very close.
My steps so far:
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt install libindi-dev
sudo apt install libcfitsio-dev
sudo apt install -y cmake
git clone https://github.com/thx8411/indi-3rdparty.git
mkdir sv305-build
cd /home/stellarmate/sv305-build
cmake ../indi-3rdparty/indi-sv305/
make
indiserver ./indi_sv305_ccd
This returns a promising:
stellarmate@stellarmate:~/sv305-build $ indiserver ./indi_sv305_ccd
2022-02-27T15:39:30: startup: indiserver ./indi_sv305_ccd
2022-02-27T15:39:30: Driver ./indi_sv305_ccd: Camera(s) found
The device tab in Ekos says it's a 905, but when starting the Ekos test profile using the remote server I get:
2022-02-27T16:05:46: [ERROR] Error, open camera failed.
2022-02-27T16:05:46: [INFO] Attempting to find the SVBONY SV305 CCD...
I feels like I'm so close!
EDIT:
I added:
stellarmate@stellarmate:~/sv305-build $ sudo make install
[100%] Built target indi_sv305_ccd
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: ""
-- Installing: /usr/local/bin/indi_sv305_ccd
-- Installing: /usr/share/indi/indi_sv305_ccd.xml
But it had no effect. When I check the General Info tab it still says Version: 1.2
