I have finally gotten around to looking at the #GalaxyS5 fingerprint sensor: it is a validity VFS61xx connected via SPI. More later.
-
Linux kernel module for the #GalaxyS5 fingerprint found e.g. at github.com/omega-roms/omega_kernel_N9005/tree/master/drivers/fingerprint, still checking samsung kernel sources
-
Ok, so this seems to be a thin wrapper for talking to the ASIC with binary messages handled by the proprietary vcsFPService. Great.
-
Judging from "cat /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control | grep vfs", ENABLE_SENSORS_FPRINT_SECURE seems to be enabled for the kernel mod
-
Next steps will take a lot longer, as it will probably involve a kernel recompile... Not sure when I will find time for that.
