EgisTec 0570 Fingerprint Sensor - fprintd-enroll not working

Hi All,

I have an Acer Swift 3 (SF314-57), which has an 0570 LighTuning Technology Inc. EgisTec Touch Fingerprint Sensor. Support for this device was just made available in the latest libfprint release (v1.92.1), so naturally I have been trying to get it working.

I installed the fprintd package from the official repo, however, when I try to enroll a fingerprint, it just 'gets stuck' saying

Enrolling right-index-finger finger.

with a blinking cursor, and no amount of trying to scan my fingerprint will get it to give any sort of indication that something is happening.

The device is seen by my system and fprintd.service is running:

$ sudo systemctl status fprintd.service

The only errors I get from "journalctl -f -u fprintd.service" are:

fprintd[6957]: Failed to clear storage before first enrollment: Device has no storage.

(I should add, my disk has ~50GB of storage available, so the problem isnt with my disk's storage - I assume the reader's?)

When I build libfprint from source, using "meson compile" and then "meson test", and try to enroll using the examples, it shows:

This program will enroll the selected finger, unconditionally overwriting any print for the same finger that was enrolled previously. If you want to continue, press enter, otherwise hit Ctrl+C

Choose the finger to enroll:

And just keeps looping through the "Finger status" and "SM_STATES_NUM" bit until I kill it.

When I then try using manage-prints from the examples, I get:

Does anybody know what is going on? I feel like I am missing something obvious, but I can't figure out what.

Thanks

Re: EgisTec 0570 Fingerprint Sensor - fprintd-enroll not working

Hi mipy,

I have the same laptop and sensor and, just like you, I noticed that libfprint now supports it .
Also just like you, I am running into issues with enrolling a fingerprint.

When running fprintd-enroll, I get

 $ fprintd-enroll
Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0
Enrolling right-index-finger finger.
Enroll result: enroll-retry-scan

and subsequent attempts to scan my finger give the same result.

The errors I get from journalctl are:

fprintd[4916]: Failed to clear storage before first enrollment: Device has no storage.
fprintd[4916]: Failed to detect minutiae: No minutiae found

Re: EgisTec 0570 Fingerprint Sensor - fprintd-enroll not working

Hi

Myeloon -> are you swiping your finger on the sensor? (although the sensor is intended for press type authentication, the driver still is not capable of it. so for now only swiping works.)

mipy -> 

fprintd[6957]: Failed to clear storage before first enrollment: Device has no storage.

don't worry about it. it just saying that the sensor itself doesn't have any storage to save fingerprints in it.

thanks for issuing it at fprint's gitlab. I'll be happy if you run that test file I added.
