Any reason I cannot use this script, modified to goodix reader?
# lsusb | grep -i finger
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 27c6:538d Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. FingerPrint
Not all the famiilar with git... I tried replacing 'brodcom' with 'goodix' and git clone failed. Any suggestions?
On my debian trixie on a Dell Latitude 5420 using branch jammy fails : firmware for ( 0a5c:5843 Broadcom Corp. BCM58200 ControlVault 3 ) was not found :

juil. 08 09:35:35 l5420 fprintd[1690]: Ignoring device due to initialization error: An unspecified error occurred!
It might have been broken by 2024 5th june commit f1d11a05ead73d0284a7e80087a3a610b2583c04 for 'CV3 ans CV3 plus support'.
using branch ubuntu/latest fixed it
-git clone --depth=1 --branch jammy git://git.launchpad.net/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom
+git clone --depth=1 --branch ubuntu/latest git://git.launchpad.net/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom
then after ./setup,sh and a reboot i got it working

Try installing the initial requisite packages manually, the rest of the script should hopefully stay the same (unless redhat changed paths to check/install).
