Hi all, I've just released ivtv-0.5.0, the first release in the 0.5.x development series. It can be downloaded here:
http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/archive/0.5.x/ivtv-0.5.0.tar.gz Please test this version: especially on 2.4 or older 2.6 platforms. The main focus of this release is to see if it compiles on older platforms: not only the driver itself but also the v4l CVS repository. The latter hasn't been tested very extensively and this makes a good test case. Note that the firmware is now uploaded through the hotplug mechanism, so the location is changed to the firmware directory used by the hotplug tools. Look for the file 'firmware.agent' (usually somewhere in /etc/hotplug) and look for the line containing: FIRMWARE_DIR=/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware This is the directory where the firmware should be placed. Also note that the firmware names have changed: ivtv-fw-enc.bin -> v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw ivtv-fw-dec.bin -> v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw HcwMakoA.ROM -> v4l-cx25840.fw ivtv_init_mpeg.bin -> v4l-cx2341x-init-mpeg.bin Please report any problems on the ivtv-devel list! Enjoy, Hans Verkuil IVTV changes: - removed tveeprom, tuner, v4l1-compat, msp3400 and tda9887 in favor of the versions in v4l. - moved saa7115, saa7127, cx25840, wm8775 and cs53l32a to v4l. - use v4l2 API to communicate with those modules (in preparation of phasing out v4l1 support). - renamed firmwares/init-mpeg to be more consistent: ivtv-fw-enc.bin -> v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw ivtv-fw-dec.bin -> v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw HcwMakoA.ROM -> v4l-cx25840.fw ivtv_init_mpeg.bin -> v4l-cx2341x-init-mpeg.bin - lots of smaller ivtv cleanups. - added internals documentation (used to float around on several internet pages, it's now part of the driver documentation). - setting a register of the saa7115 or saa7127 now requires root permissions. - hotplug support is required to load the firmware. You should place the firmware files in the hotplug directory. - add support for old-style PVR350 (with a saa7114 instead of a saa7115). - fix a few misdetected Hauppauge cards. - fix MODULE_AUTHOR lists. - fix VBI support in the passthrough mode. - cx25840ctl now uses the raw I2C API to access the cx25840. - updated several utilities to use getopt for better commandline handling. - utils/videodev2.h copy removed in favor of v4l supplied header. _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
