Hi
I am having a problem with thinkfinger-0.3 in an embedded Arm9 board
(ATMEL AT91sam9263-EK) with linux. I tested on Angstrom RFS as well as
debian Armel Lenny RFS. Using kernel 2.6.28 patched for At91sam9263.
The driver and commands work very well in a normal Debian PC.
While the #tf-tool works well in normal Linux PC, it gives the
following error always on the Atmel board, be it Arngstrom or Armel
file system.
Please help me to get this fixed. We thought it could be a problem
with power supply. But after giving an external power of 5V--2.0A ,
the output is the same.

Initializing... done.
Could not acquire fingerprint (communication with fingerprint reader failed).
Could this be a problem with libusb-dev? The source install of
thinkfinger needs to have libusb-dev?
I did apt-get install in Armel. Is there a chance that the libusb
package is different from normal debian lenny stream?
