Hi,
I found it always need root to run indiserver indi_fli_ccd to make ekos work with FLI camera.
If I use udev rule to change permission of /dev/fliusb0 to 666, start ekos and indi by normal user, connection is ok but indi_fli_ccd will crash in a few seconds.Also the fliusb.ko will crash ,no fliusb0 is found in /dev
Is this problem cause by the fli usb driver fliusb.ko ?

Most likely yes. libfli shouldn't be really using a kernel module, but this was developed 10+ years ago when libusb was not mature in Linux. If any soul feels adventurous, modify libfli to use libusb instead of the kernel module!
