Re: [ivtv-devel] Am I on right track with PVR-150?

[Michel Verbraak]

Liivo, I have the same card and it does not work for me either. See earlier postings of mine. Curently i'm making a configuration to dump the i2c data from a windows machine. As soon as I have that kind of data we can find the difference with the other versions of the PVR150 that have picture and no sound. Regards, Michel.

If you would like, I could take pictures and/or send you any data). My goal is to use it with MythTV. On windows side it works perfectly with GB-PVR (myth alternative on windows). So, hw is ok (picture quality is better than Leadtek TV2000XP Expert - cx23881). I tried to use this PVR150 also with linux, but I've failed.   Test system was IBM PC 6579-PDG. FC2 with kernel 2.6.9. Used ATrpms ivtv 0.3.1z. No difference using enc/dec fw from ATrpms or from PVR150 CD. modprobe ivtv gave error -6 and No busmaster dma enabled. Although it is enabled. Updated PC BIOS to latest level, after that modprobe ivtv hanged whole linux. No response and nothing in logs after reboot. Am I understanding correctly that PVR-150 should work after ivtv version 0.3.1y? Also tried to compile 0.3.2, but no success. Found following containing PVR150 from ChangeLog:   #0.3.1c - cx25840 Status: 2004 Oct 29 00:30:00 - can load pvr150 and pvr350 cards together now- cx25840 Status: input map setup for pvr150. #0.3.1i - - audio i2c dumps from Ulf, looks promising, this uses those to hopefully setup audio in the pvr150, doesn't work. #0.3.1n - seems there's another device id for the pvr150 out there, hopefully same besides that, so it should now load too, also new info in doc/README.cx25840 about how some i2c loading isn't consistent with how I thought it was, so the i2c_enable options have to be different. #0.3.1q - Upload FW to cx25840, have to have /lib/modules/HcwMakoA.ROM it comes on the Hauppauge pvr150 CD, audio firmware. cx25840.h: #define AUDIO_FW_SIZE 13837 #define AUDIO_FW_FILE "/lib/modules/HcwMakoA.ROM" Audio still will not work yet, need more, but this is the basic start of doing the right things for audio, Ulf knows more details of this, hopefully this will help him merge his code.   Am I right that at this time, PVR150 should work, but with no audio, but with picture? rgds, Liivo.
