[fprint] Authentec 2810 - get Information from Authentec

[Jango]

Hi!

I read, that it is difficult to get Authentec 2810 working only with usb-sniffs.

Has someone tried to get in contact with Authentec for more hardware information?
According to this webpage, it should not be difficult to get some information:
http://www.authentec.com/products-getting-started.html

"Technology Evaluation Kits (TEKs) are used by product planners, engineers, and others who wish to evaluate AuthenTec fingerprint sensor solutions as a fit for their products or product families. This comprehensive kit showcases AuthenTec's advanced biometric fingerprint sensors, award-winning TruePrint® technology, and the unique Power of Touch™ capabilities. TEKs include: a fingerprint reader, matching algorithms, demonstration software, and user guides.

Software Developer's Kits (SDKs) are essential tools for creating a software application for an AuthenTec fingerprint sensor solution. SDKs include: source libraries (DLLs), object code, algorithms, drivers, underlying API, tools/utilities/debuggers, and software developer's guides.

Embedded Software Developer's Kits (ESDKs) provide the necessary software components for integrating AuthenTec's fingerprint sensor solutions into wireless devices and other embedded systems. ESDKs include: source code examples, binary code for linkable libraries, device drivers, and software developer’s guides.

Reference Design Kits (RDKs) dramatically reduce the time it takes to complete a fingerprint sensor hardware reference design. RDKs include: schematics, bill of materials, board layout, netlists, package drawings, mechanical design guidelines, and user documentation.

Embedded Developer's Kits (EDKs) provide the hardware, software, and documentation for development of stand-alone embedded security systems. EDKs include: a user interface display and keyboard, power module, processor/sensor board, schematics, bill of materials, Gerber files, embedded software suite, programmer's guides, and a user guide."


It looks like, they also give away a test specimens (" TEKs include: a fingerprint reader,..."). Maybe someone should try to get information there. Support for this mainstream device (built-in in many lenovo an hp notebooks,...) would be very important!
