Hi All, I have decided to bite the bullet and start using Fedora on my work laptop instead of Windows 2000, and after getting most things working, I started trying to get my DEC2000-T to talk. It worked fine under Win2K on my laptop, and has pretty good reception here in Cardiff - approx. 40 TV and 30 radio channels available. However, no luck so far...
I've been reading through the mailing list archive, and believe that the problem lies with inserting the boot code into the kernel module. I started by upgrading the kernel to 2.6.0, compiling the source code from www.kernel.org rather than relying on pre-packaged and patched RPMs. After searching through the mailing list, I found some messages describing similar problems, and after installing the ttusb-dec module in debug mode, noticed that the module appeared not to have the firmware installed. Also, the module caused kernel panic messages when loaded in debug mode. So, I have now tried with the very latest CVS kernel drivers, applied by using the "make links" script as described in the CVS README file. The single module version compiles properly. I have installed both the 2000-T and 3000-S firmware as instructed: ls -l /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ total 1368 -rw-r--r-- 1 root video 462684 Jan 3 14:51 dec2000t.bin -rw-rw-rw- 1 root video 462684 Apr 4 2003 dvb-ttusb-dec-2000t-2.15a.fw -rw-rw-rw- 1 root video 462684 Apr 4 2003 dvb-ttusb-dec-3000s-2.15a.fw ---- But, when installing the module, although the kernel no longer panics, dmesg shows: ---- drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver TechnoTrend/Hauppauge DEC USB hub 1-0:1.0: new USB device on port 2, assigned address 7 ttusb_dec_probe ttusb_dec_init_usb ttusb_dec_alloc_iso_urbs ttusb_dec_setup_urbs ttusb_dec_init_stb ttusb_dec_send_command ttusb_dec_send_command: command: 0xAA 0x01 0x08 0x00 ttusb_dec_send_command: result: 0x55 0x01 0x08 0x10 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x12 0x34 0x56 0x78 0xAB 0xCD 0xEF 0xAB 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 ttusb_dec_boot_dsp ttusb_dec_boot_dsp: Firmware (dvb-ttusb-dec-2000t-2.15a.fw) unavailable. ttusb_dec_exit_usb ttusb_dec_free_iso_urbs --- For info, my digibox reports firmware version 0.78, dated 16th October 2002, and I'm using the UHCI drivers.
