Are you sure ?it already works on 64 bits cross plateforms : www.indilib.org/about/ekos/requirements.html

I am also interested to have it on ubuntu 20.04 on a RPi4

Finally I've found by myself. ;)

Quick reminder : I use a Raspberry Pi 4B with an astro distribution called Easy Astro Box based on raspbian busters with Kstars 3.5.0 beta

Here are the commands I've used :
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Then I've followed the instructions on the webpage : indilib.org/get-indi/download-rpi.html

I've choosen the option 1 to only update the INDI libraries including all third party drivers.

So it works now with EKOS. The version of QHY SDK that I have is 20.8.26.

Maybe it will help some of you.

Now I have to make it work with FireCapture.

I am also interested by using the new Ubuntu 20.04 on a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB. It's a real desktop version not a "light version".

So it is possible to install Kstars/Ekos/INDI.

I have also a QHY of the same series of you (462c). I will follow this post, I will try also by myself soon.

I am sorry. I posted twice. Does an admin can delete the previous one, please ?

I didn't found any button to delete by myself.

Thank you.

Hello,

I have received my first camera QHY 5III462C.
The camera works well with FireCapture 2.6 on Windows 10 after updated with the windows SDK.

However I want to run it on a Raspberry Pi 4B that will stay in the garden and me in my warm house (taking control with VNC viewer).

The camera is not detected by EKOS, I choose the QHY driver in profil and a pop up window appears saying "INDI driver crash" each time I try to establish a connexion.
Also with FireCapture 2.6 for raspberry, the camera is not detected.
Normally I have the latest versions of each of those softwares.

I tried to install the arm 32 bits SDK 20.06.26 which is recommended for the QHY 462. www.qhyccd.com/html/prepub/log_en.html#!log_en.md
I checked if I was on a 32 bits system and yes (armv7l). However I even tried the 64 bits version.

I have followed the process written on the previous link above for RPI to install the SDK.

After using distclean.sh to remove all previous versions, I execute in root mode the install.sh.
It seems to work but I have three information messages :

ldconfig : files /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libsbig.so is troncated
ldconfig : files /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libsbig.so.4 is troncated
ldconfig : files /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libsbig.so.4.9.9 is troncated

I am on a astro distribution called "Easy Astro Box" or eab.

So, if you have some helpful ideas, be nice to share them ;)
If you want other informations let me know. I am a newby on Linux,... so write the command I have to lauch. I just know a few of them.

Also if someone says me the camera works well on an other free distribution, I am open to change my distribution.

Thanks in advance.
