Hi,

The wiki page 'Firmware' instructs people to copy HcwFalcn.rom to
v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw, but HcwFalcn.rom is 376836 bytes, only the first
256K contain actual ivtv firmware (the rest is (mainly) zeroes). With
the latest trunk, and (I think) also with the svn head of 0.8, that will
give a firmware file that the driver can't load, plus the blackbird
driver also checks the firmware for size, so when using those
instructions to create firmware for use with those drivers, it won't
work (I think).

I think the instructions should include something like 'dd
if=HcwFalcn.rom of=v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw bs=1024 count=256' to show people
how to take the first 256K only.

Or is the 376836 byte firmware maybe used to zero-out some of the ivtv
memory? (If that's the case, then maybe the blackbird driver shouls
allow the larger file too and simply upload the trailing (mainly) zeros
too).

Jelle.
