Re: Fingerprint scanner on iPAQ h5550

It's an Atmel AT77C101B "fingerchip" sensor, which interfaces to a
dedicated port on the samcop ASIC. See the Atmel and Samsung datasheets
for the low-down on that.

Making it work in the sense of acquiring raw data is probably not all
that difficult. However, you need a certain amount of image
postprocessing to do anything useful with the data that you capture, and
this is where the complexity would start to set in.
