I built the latest from source in effort to get it working, but maybe a fresh install would do it, I'll give that a go after new years. 

The camera works with the raspberry using AstroDMx (and Sharpcap on windows) so the camera seems fine. 
Are you using 32 or 64 bit OS? 
Also I'm using the raspberry pi 4 8GB, what have you tried it on? 
Cheers

Hi Joakim,

Your error is a bug from the previous SDK. It as been  fixed since.

It looks like a library/package conflict issue.
I think you have the old broken version (standard package installation ?) and the one working installed side by side.
But sadly, your setup uses the wrong one.

Try to identify the old packages, and to remove it.

Best regards,

Pretty sure I tried it before, but now it worked:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

On the plus side I got the complete dev environment installed in the process 
Many thanks!

Well, that happiness was unfortunately short-lived :/
Pulled an update today (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade) and now the sv305 driver crashes when I try to connect. Pretty sure the sv305 driver didn't change, but it upgraded some indi packages (my Canon DSLR started working)
I've attached the logs, and this line seems worrying 
<code>INDI Server:  "2022-01-05T00:17:03: Driver indi_sv305_ccd: Impossible IPState 1598309187"</code>
Any idea on what to do?
Cheers!

Edit:
I was after these upgrades the sv305 stopped working (I looked in the apt-get history):
Upgrade: indi-bin:armhf (1.9.2-1, 1.9.3), libindi-data:armhf (1.9.2-1, 1.9.3), libindi-dev:armhf (1.9.2-1, 1.9.3), libindi1:armhf (1.9.2-1, 1.9.3), indi-weather-mqtt:armhf (1.1-1, 1.1-2)

Update from today's effort

I tried with purging all indi and astroberry packages and then reinstalled them (apt-get, purge, autoremove and install) with the same result as previous, the sv305 driver crashed on connection.

What I tried after that was to purge everything again and compile indi (core and drivers) from source (master branches). After that I can connect to the camera, live stream works but it always crashes when I try a capture. Log attached

Can you use Ekos Debugger to debug the driver? this would give a more valuable trace back.

Hi Jasem!

I'm new to this so I don't know all the tools yet.
I built the ekos debugger according to the instructions in this post: indilib.org/forum/ekos/7245-new-tool-eko....html?start=12#75533
and I got the attached logs by running the indiserver from the tool.

I haven't done c/c++ since my school days and I don't know the the project that well yet, so I don't know what to make of the segfault, any ideas?

Thanks!

Another update,
I flashed a fresh Raspberry buster and used the AstroPI3 script to install everything. All drivers I'm using (incl sv305) worked. What was missing was the ekos part of kstars. That was solved by installing it from the ppa.
So in short I have a setup that works, but I don't know if I'll ever dare to update it...
