ASI120MM on RPi3 was created by Sergio

Hi everyone, I'm new on this forum and Ekos/INDI, need your help with this one.

I saw in other thread that Jasem, maybe others, has indiserver hosted on a RPi3, as I do, and did some testing with an ASI120MC.

I'm struggling with an ASI120MM and wonder which specific configuration you have on your RPi3. Would you point me the exact version of these? (in parenthesis is what I have)
  • distro (Raspbian Jessie; last apt-get update on Feb 28th)
  • kernel (4.9.13-v7+)
  • indilib (1.4.1, compiled from git sources as of Feb 28th)
  • indi-asi (0.5, compiled from git sources as of Feb 28th, but I manually replaced LibASICamera2.lib (SDK v0.6.0110) with the one I extracted from SDK V0.4.0929 --downloaded directly from ZWO--)
The reason I replaced the SDK embedded in indi-asi is because this driver got stuck (but didn't crash) at "StartExposure->setexp : ..." after some exposures, and I saw these messages on dmesg:
[27070.448662] usb 1-1.4: new high-speed USB device number 5 using dwc_otg
[27070.699494] usb 1-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=03c3, idProduct=120a
[27070.699506] usb 1-1.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[27070.699514] usb 1-1.4: Product: ASI120MM
[27070.699522] usb 1-1.4: Manufacturer: ZWOptical company 
[27070.699529] usb 1-1.4: SerialNumber: 00000
[48180.056128] usb 1-1.4: reset high-speed USB device number 5 using dwc_otg
[48181.566120] usb 1-1.4: reset high-speed USB device number 5 using dwc_otg
[48183.306141] usb 1-1.4: reset high-speed USB device number 5 using dwc_otg
... ("reset" message repeats on each exposure)

Don't you see these messages on your RPi3?

With SDK versions 0.6.0103 and 0.5.1215, I get this very same results as with 0.6.0110, so I kept rolling back to V0.4.0929, when things improved, as the "reset" messages no longer showed, and testing with Focus->Framing kept running for a higher number of exposures. But eventually it fails again at "StartExposure", sometimes after 45 minutes, sometimes after five hours. Not good for guiding.

I want to thank everyone involved in Ekos/Kstars/INDI for their amazing work.

Thanks in advance,
Sergio
