Everything works fine on the AMD64 machine and as far as i got with my tests also on the raspberry pi3.
The only machine I was able to get the problem was the Odroid. I tested USB2 and USB3 on the Odroid, it made no difference. Since the pi only has USB2, I did not test USB3 there.
I took the current git HEAD and compiled libindi, then I compiled indi_asi_ccd but I went back in commits for the 3rdparty/indi-asi/armv7/libASICamera2.bin file
Here's a list of the commits I took the bin file from and the result of trying to capture 200 frames (1000ms) in 16 bit with it (hashes are commits in git):
- 02030b836576c0f5684d6d562737ad05b1eb1e63 15 frames
- 64a529e31fa9e813f2c01696366323aa2062ef30 15 frames
- 75f72cfb8c372236dfa9eef8b81bed5089e72979 17 frames
- 690506af44c8d02bb28409a1103053942de088d1 18 frames
- 6ffcf202ae4d0355ed2ef6ec52c2336a4da619e0 10 frames
- 6b9fb46cc202b0bcd03a2f5fd1f3a21a43f1d65d works with no problem
Whenever the camera stopped working I hat to disconnect it completely before I could get anymore captures.
From what I can see it looks like there's a change in 6ffcf202ae4d0355ed2ef6ec52c2336a4da619e0 that created this behavior and/or made a bug in the odroid machine apparent.
Here's the built indi for pi3 and odroid:
cloud.tliff.de/s/QMRsDaXLD61tJBV
(for some libc reason the pi binaries dont work on the droid and vice versa)
Also included is the short shell script I used to build the binaries,
they are named indi_asi_ccd_COMMITHASH
I can work around the problem for now by just using an older file, but a fix would of course be nice.
