As a starting point, take a look at the source libfprint/drivers to see
each driver for the appropriate device.  Not sure if the authors have
actually referenced the devices SDK or if there was some reverse
engineering.  It might not hurt to try and hit them up on email to see.  I
would imagine the devices share some common concepts.

Please share what you come up with!
