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...

Replied by Pep on topic INDI Driver for SVBONY cameras

Hi folks,

I'm using the sv305-Pro on astroberry, like a server so well. But last night I'had want to record a video from EKOS (on a PC) and told me that I haven't permision for to acces to the local directory (on PC). Then I tried to do it again but this time save the video on Raspy (astroberry) directly but gave me an error that say (someting like): Video was interrupted or acces denied.
I remmeber that if I did this process by VNC connection, works and then take the video from the raspi. But now if I want to do it by  Client-PC (KStar-EKOS) to the astroberry (Server) I can't do it. 
There are someone, could give me some ideas about how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Pep
