This SBIG CCD camera linux driver were tested on the 32/64 bit Ubuntu 11.xx 
and Open SuSE 11.xx operating systems. 

If your camera is not detected by your operating system as shown below, 
please experiment with your udev rules file.  

1) Check if you have a fxload utility installed inside the 
   /sbin directory. If not, install it from your distribution. 

2) Copy all the *.hex and *.bin files to the /lib/firmware directory. 

4) Copy 32 and/or 64 bit libsbigudrv.so versions to your /usr/local/lib.

5) Install an udev file:

   a) Ubuntu:
      Copy 51-sbig-ubuntu.rules file to the /etc/udev/rules.d directory.

   b) If not working, try SuSE and Debinan: 
      Copy 51-sbig-suse-debian.rules and sbig_dev_permission.py files 
      to the /etc/udev/rules.d directory.

   c) Explore your udev system and update your udev file. 

6) Connect your camera and PC using USB cable. Switch ON your camera.
   The camera should be automatically detected and firmware uploaded. 
   This may take a few seconds. You should see a red LED blinking during 
   this process and the fan will come on when the camera is fully booted. 

7) Check your camera with the lsusb command.
   The idVendor & idProduct _has_to_ be 0d97 and 0101, respectively, 
   otherwise no firmware was uploaded.

   Properly installed camera: 
   lsusb command:
   Bus 002 Device 024: ID 0d97:0101 Santa Barbara Instrument Group SBIG Astronomy Camera (with firmware)

   If no firmware is uploaded, usual problem is your udev file.
   Please check and experiment with this. See udev on wiki.
