My model is a Alccd-QHY 9 monochrom, that is all I know at the moment. Perhaps more meaningful is the USB ID 1618:8301. The QHY9 INDI Driver comes with a file which is installed in /lib/udev/rules.d/85-qhyccd.rules. This rule file defines what linux should do if a usb device is plugged in. The nearest match is this line:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="1618", ATTRS{idProduct}=="8300", RUN+="/sbin/fxload -t fx2 -I /lib/firmware/qhy/QHY9S.HEX -D $env{DEVNAME}"

But my model is 8301! If I just add a similar line with idProduct 8301 and restart the udev service (or reboot), the QHY9S.HEX file should be loaded and if similar enough it might work, but it does not. So presently at least my device is not supported.

The newest version of the mentioned usb file is here:
github.com/indilib/indi/blob/master/3rdp...bqhy/85-qhyccd.rules
But no new entry for my product version. Development seems to be active.

You can check this file to see what models are supported and if your device is really not included. The 'lsusb' command can be used to identify usb devices (compare the output with ccd plugged in and not).
