Synaptics Prometheus
====================
Introduction
------------
This plugin can flash the firmware on the Synaptics Prometheus fingerprint readers.
Firmware Format
---------------
The daemon will decompress the cabinet archive and extract a firmware blob in
an unspecified binary file format. The binary file has a vendor-specific header
that is used when flashing the image.
This plugin supports the following protocol ID:
* com.synaptics.prometheus
GUID Generation
---------------
These devices use the standard USB DeviceInstanceId values, e.g.
* `USB\VID_06CB&PID_00A9&REV_0001`
* `USB\VID_06CB&PID_00A9`
* `USB\VID_06CB&PID_00A9-cfg`
* `USB\VID_06CB&PID_00A9&CFG1_3483&CFG2_500`
Vendor ID Security
------------------
The vendor ID is set from the USB vendor, in this instance set to `USB:0x06CB`
External interface access
-------------------------
This plugin requires read/write access to `/dev/bus/usb`.
