Title:
Goodix GF3208 (fingerprint reader) not being recognised by
kernel/system
Status in Linux:
New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The Goodix GF3208 is not being recognised by the system (Dell Inspiron
15 7577). What's worse is that it isn't even showing the manufacturer
vendor id information when doing:
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 27c6:5301
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 8087:0a2b Intel Corp.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:c52f Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:5652 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Note that the vendor id 27c6 should at least say "Shenzhen Huiding
Technology Co., Ltd." as per
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/e19b205be43d11bff638cad4487008c48d21c103/Documentation/devicetree/bindings
/vendor-prefixes.txt
Will/has support been made for the Goodix GF3208 Fingerprint
reader/scanner?
Thanks in advance,
Haz
